WAR Or RA'Cf.N.
The late battles in thu South between
white people and negroes should be
warning not unheeded of the almost hi
cvltablc conflict of races now threatening
tne jfepuDHc with a new danger.
It Is very true that "war legislates."
and that tho civil war lu this country leg-
Mated tlic bonds oft tho limbs of the
slaves and the ballot Into the hands of the
negro. It is alo true, that In all of tho
Southern States Hie legislation of the war
gave into the hands or carpet
bag politicians nnd their black allies
power they have abused and against
which a reaction is now taking place.
'Ilils condition of affairs might have
been prevented by tho Dcmcratic party
if after the war it iiad become the advo

In resisting universal suffrage permitted

hopes ofa better country than the one they
Had just left were not realized. Thing
