THE LIAR CONVICTED,
True to its innate mendacious instincts
the hysterical afternoon sheet, when
shown to be a recklessly maliscious fal-
sifier of facts, tries to escape public
condemnation by shifting its falsehoods
to the shoulders of honorable men. The
hysterical sheet says;
“As regards the statement made in
the item above reprinted, it resolves it-
self into a squarely drawn issue of vera-
city between Judge Buckler, Dr. Yan-
dell, and ourselves, on the one side, and
the Times on the other. The two men
named stated to ns in our office that the
Times and the Graphic had agreed to
suppress the news as requested, if we
would do the name.
The Times knowa this statement to be
positively false, for Dr. Yandell was in
the Times office Friday evening and
was asked the question;
“Did the Times promise your com-
mittee to suppress information about
that the TIMES had agreed, at the re
quest of the board of health, to suppress
news regarding cases of smallpox, is a
willful and malicious falsehood perpe-
trated at the expense of the board of
health and the city. The board made
no such request of the Times nor did it
make any such request of the jackassi-
cal and hysterical afternoon sheet."
The hysterical sheet has been court-
ing this expose of itself fur some time
and the public will feel no sympathy
for it in its humiliation.

A Washington Paper on the Race Pro-
blem-Colored Man's Best Friend South-
«ro.
Washington Times: In a public let-
ter, Governor Johnston of Alabama as-
serts that every attempt to subject
southern people to negro domination
will end in revolution, “cither peaceful
or bloody,” that any federal interfer-
ence, the expectation of which has al-
ready brought disaster to the colored
oeople, can only exact resentment and
ncrease discord; and that it would be
quite as reasonable to consider whether
the federal government should not in-
terfere in Illinois as in the Carolina*,
The mention of Illinois suggests that
the northern people are not so free from
the same prejudices as to warrant the
indignatiou that some Republican news-
papers express, not about the killing of
negroes, but their exclusion from the
exercise of their constitutional rights.
If we do not often hear of negroes re
fused entertainment at hotels, restaur-
ants, theaters and other public places
in the north, it is only because it is not
often that the negroes offer opportuni-
ties. It is only a short time since there
was a test applied in the City of New
Y A^ew well-dressed, well-behaved and
intelligent colored men were turned
away from Delmonicos and othor fash-
ionable places. It was said that a
negro official at Albany had incited
them to this effort, and he was threat-
ened with removal until he made a de-
nial. It is true that there are no sepa-
rate earn for negroes in the north as in
the south, but it is also true that as
long as they concede the superiority of
the whites, the negroes are better liked
by thq whites and are admitted to
closer relations with them in the south
than iu the north. The southern peo-
ple like to have them about and prefer
them to all other servants and laborers,
not because they are more effiei -nt, but
because they are more amiable and be-
cause most southerners have been
reared by negro nurses and
among negro children. Except
under the conditionstbat, ar ewell known
— in the political activity of the colored
people and there assertion of social
equality—the southern whites are more
gincerly friendly with the negroes than
the northern whites. The comments of
Republican newspapers on the refuaual
of the New York restaurants and hotels
to receive the colored guests were not
in the nature of indignant protest,
against the institutions, but a deprea-
tion of the efforts of the colored men te
stem the current of prejudices and to
“make unnecessary trouble.
There can be no just condemnation
by the north of the southern opposition
to negro domination—however, jnst
may be the indignations over a needless
shedding of blood-until the north has
some experience of southern conditions.
When Massachusetts, for example, has
several hundred thousand negro voters,
grouped in such a way as to control the
elections in oertain districts and quietly
submits to a free exercise of their con-
stitutional rights, then Massachusetts
will be qualified to pass judgment on
the people of the Carolinas.
The determination of the southern
whites not to submit to the domination
of the negroes appear to be irrevocable.
Certainly it will neverbqabandoned be-
cause of any menaces of violence. The
southern negroes do not seem to be dis-
posed to fight for their political rights
—to adopt the policy urged by a major-
ity of the northern negroes at the Coop-
er Union meeting. There is no reason
to think the latter would go down to
aid them in such a course. Therefore,
the northern people, white and black,
who advocate killing, will simply in-
crease the bitterness of the strife with •
out securing the southern negroes in
the safe or any exercise of their politic-
al rights. It iB probable that the pres-
ident foresees only disaster for the ne-
groes from federal interference and
will refrain from anything that would
make their lot harder.
