THE REAL ENEMY IS WHITE1
The gravity of the political situation
grows dally In Virginia, both with re?
spect to Federal and State affairs, and
no good citizen wlio loves liberty and
respects himself can regard It without
;patnful misgivings as to the future
Six years ago the Democrats of Vir?
ginia were amazed and disgusted to
Jiearn that their trusted representatives
in the General Assembly had betrayed
^them In the most flagrant manner by
1 suddenly becoming the servants ot
:.?ome unknown and secret will against
iihe public will and deserting Gen.
?(>Fitzhugh Lee, patriot, soldier and
'statesman, the well-known clioico of
?the people for U. S. Senator for one
.Thomas S. Martin, theretofore unheard
'bf.'but the choice of the same unknown
"and secret will and Its mysterious in
vfiuence.
Amazed and outraged, the Domo
cratlc people of this grand old com
vmonwealth gave vent to their stern In
i'dlgnatlon In unmlstakeable expressions
of wrath and resentment, and all over
the State they1 proclaimed the Just de?
termination, by all available means, to
?prevent the recurrence of a treachery
60 base and monstrous. Hut they sub?
mitted to the Inevitable, as became
good citizens. The foul deed was done
and Its purpose accomplished; yet con.
iscious of their right and power, they
^possessed their souls in patience and
bided their time.
That time came with this year, and
? ; the trusting people believed nnd re?
joiced that it brought with It the op
'stltuiion, and secured by party orga?
nization, to right the wrong of 1S'.)3.
,V';The expiration of the term ot the Sen
? V ator ao strangely foisted upon them and
the State six years ago was ap?
proaching; a new legislature was to b&
chosen this year, that would choose a
successor In the U. S. Senate to the un?
known stranger who pretended to rep?
resent Virginia in that body; and tho
?Democratic voters flattered themselves
that now they would dismiss the In
troder with quiet scorn, and replace
'him by a man of their own choice,
V. "^worthy in character, capacity, past
publlo services and popular acclaim of
. the high and sacred trust.
The May conference at Richmond
:{ivas the first step in this movement of
'..'the.'people of the Democratic party of
y/:: ?Virginia to assert nnd vindicate their
*. '.Insulted and dethroned sovereignty; but
lo! it was at once scon that sinister in
? fluances were at work to obstruct and
v;;'; jbaffle the movement; and before the
conference at Richmond adjourned,
\i enough was disclosed to assure all ob
? servers that the mysterious agencies
Q.f 'Tvhlch had subverted popular govern
J7 ment among ue intended to maintain
- their usurpations at all hazards and
any means.
; In 1S03 the abortive and mock inves
. tigation ordered by the legislature In
l,l7T^ponse to Public demand revealed
lll&M?1 ,arffe sums of money had been cm- j
^WOyed by a num?er of corporations and
? combines to subsidize and debauch cer
^^^ ^mber8 or our Party organization
.-and some of our candidates for the leg
,' Jalature. 4 At that time it was supposed
that the ?ef?eti*n ahd demoralization

sepker.ls notified that to them, alone
can he - look for a nomination/ that
elects; and every office-holder Is warn?
ed thnl'hls tenure Is at the will of the
combine, or ofllee-trust. While the
good citizens of the commonwealth
have been resting In fancied security
upon their rights and privileges, the
trust and Its agents have been busily
at Work the past six years to betray
and destroy those rights and privileges!
Men and brethren! fella w-cltlzens,
freemen! you already hear the plea that
Is to be urged upon you to submit to
every Injury, wrong and fraud! The
bug-a-boo of negro-supremacy is to be
paraded to keep you quiet, while a
real and brutal supremacy of corpo?
rate and oligarchic despotism Is to be
fastened upon you! The bugaboo Is a
wornout Invention?a terror wholly of
the Imagination In Virginia, while the
usurpation of the oflice-trust is the real
enemy, steadily encroaching on our
?rights, and which means to deliver
Virginia and her people to Hannalsm
and the Money-Power!
THE PERDITION OF FRANCE.
The first condemnation of Dreyfus
through the machinations of a military
cabal formed against him, was done In
a dark corner, and was secured by
perjury, forgery and the suppression of
all evidence that could help the ac?
cused. After long-suffering In exile
and prison, he has a revision, so-called,
of his former trial, with its forgeries,
perjuries and suppressions exposed,
confessed and doubly damned by the
suicide of some of the most active of
the conspirators against him. Able
counsel for the prisoner, defended him
this time, thclntamy of the plot against
him was held up to universal gaze, and
not only was the Innocence of Dreyfus
established, but the sure guilt of others
was established and It was demon?
strated that It was Impossible for the
accused to have committed the treason.
In spite of all, he is again condemned
by his military judges at Rcnnes. Ills
first condemnation was In a corner; this
Is in the full and open light of day, with
the whole world looking on and listen?
ing eagerly. In contempt of heaven
and earth, his judges again pronounce
him guilty,?and to the shame of
France Incurred by the first foul injus?
tice is added this ineffable infamy of a
second conviction ugalnst all the evi?
dence, positive and circumstantial,?ay,
against all the probabilities and pos?
sibilities: showing a lodged and deep
seated determination to fix on Dreyfus
a crime of which he 13 to be made the
sacrificial scape-goat for the whole
French army. Ah! he la an Israelite!
"That explains the crime!" say the
French military. "Ay," the world re?
sponds,?"It explains yotir crime, your
Infamy, founded In nothing but preju?
dice and hate of race!"
It Is the perdition of France. Neither
nations, nor men, can outrage the con?
victions and sentiments of the world
with Impunity. Amazed, aghast the
world stands horror-stricken at this
verdict- at Itcnncs, but with a visibly
gathering storm of obloquy to pour on
the court and France. Nor will the in?
dignation of mankind stop there. Gov?
ernments may not protest, nor take any
formal notice of the Injustice done to
Dreyfus; but this performance at
Rerincs puts a stigma upon Frenchmen
?the mark of Cain?that they must
bear forever and everywhere outside
the bounds of France, at least; and all
men will point the finger of scorn and
shame at them because of this cruel and
shameful deed at Rcnnes.
If It were but the act of the military,
we could understand the class and nar?
row feeling that eagerly caught at
anything to relieve Frenchmen of the
army of the imputation of treason; for
though Dreyfus by birth and French
law Is a Frenchman, yet the race-line,
in common prejudice, Is still kept dis?
tinct against the Hebrews all over
Europe; and It only needs the least
stimulus from their own religion for
Frenchmen to break into a conllagr.i
tioii against a people whom they have
been taught to regard as plotters
against both their church and State.
Tins popular animus in France was re?
cently set forth very strongly by ex
Senator Etistis, of 1-ouislana, and
former Ambassador to France, in a
publication which the Virglnlan-Pllol
not Ions since quoted on this point.
All France, in fact, without regard
to party, id involved In this perdition
and will be put under the ban of ex?
communication by the public opinion of
all nations, until the verdict of Rennes
is reversed and Dreyfus vindicated;
and we arc glad to sec already that a
motion for another revision has been
made. Dei us hope for it, with belter
results. A in en:
Southern Russia is said to be in a
panic of terror a; a popular delusion
that the end of the world is at hand.
No wonder. The people of that coun?
try can see no reasonable purpose in
prolonging a world which has been so
miserable a failure for the great body
of the people, excepting only the rich
and those in power. The rest of the in?
habitants of this earth ara rapidly com?
ing to .the Bam* conclusion. But tho
gold burs roly for tholr "Jtrotpeclry" en
thrmlsfartunet ?f ?tw
The Washington p#st ha? ? *art??n,
representing Croker giving Bryan a
very tight hug. But Croker will never
get close enough to Bryan for that, as
the latter detests the political hugger
mugger, in. which Croker Is an expert,
too much for that.
SMASH THE MACHINE; OR PERISHl
If they dare, the same men, means
and methods that truculently add In?
sult to the Injury they:put; upon us In
1803, by offering to Impose Martin upon
us agnln, If successful now In the Sen?
atorial contest, will be sure to employ
every energy to misrepresent Virginia
and her people by sending to the next
?Democratic national convention a dele?
gation against Bryan and the restora?
tion of sliver and In favor of gold
monometallism, Hannalsm, the money
trust, monopoly and Imperial mllltar
lim. Why rot? If these men, means and
methods could in 1893 defeat Gen. Lee
for the Senate by Martin, and can
again, this year, defeat the people and
Gov. Tyler, and send Martin again to
the Senate, why can't they make It ap?
pear that this State is against Bryan
and zealous for Cleveland? If Martin
be honestly elected our "U. S. Senator?
j If the majority of the Legislature bo
honestly chosen by the people und'be
honestly for Martin,?then It Is sure
that this State is against Bryan and
silver, and In favor of the money-trust,
gold-monometallism, monopoly, mili?
tarism, expansion by conquest, Hanna
ism and McKinley.
There can be no reasonable doubt of
all that. And yet the people and press
have been under the delusion to the
contrary! But this Martin case is but
another illustration, In the line of the
Dreyfus case, of how right and truth
may be overthrown by unscrupulous
men, vested with power and means.
Martin's second election will be but B,
repetition of the tragl-farcical perform?
ance In France, where Dreyfus is being
condemned the second time amidst the
shrieks and execrations of the civilized
world. These things are the results or
the demoralization of the age, and
forebode another reign of terror, not for
France only, but for the whole world.
In the first betrayal to Martin, the
Democracy was chiefly .deceived by its
Legislators and State Committee; now,
so far has the Infection gone, that the
State Committee, and all the city, dis?
trict and county committees nre in?
volved, with the majority of the office?
holders, Federal, State, city, county,
&c, and of course the entire office
seeking tribe. This is no mere surmise,
or conjecture. In this very contest, the
State, city and county organizations,
for the most part, have openly revolted
from the people, defied the party laws,
proclaimed themselves for Martin by
deeds, if not by words, and have sedul?
ously attempted to drive Virginia Dem?
ocrats, like dumb cattle, into the Mar?
tin pens. The only hope for escape
from the trap Into which the Demo?
cratic party of Virginia has fallen Is a
thorough re-organlzalion, on some bet?
ter plan, with better men.
The present machine, seized and run
by traitors, must be disowned and re?
pudiated, and, if possible, it must be
utterly smashed. Harmony requires
this, and the thieves and usurpers will
cry "peace! peace! be still!" in vain
while they attempt to master "and use
free Virginians for their nefarious
schemes of barter with corporations,
trusts and Republicans. Nor need they
seek to frighten brave men with the
bugaboo of the "nigger." Democrats of
Virginia have long ceased to fear the
colored voters; their fear Is of these
monopolies and trusts that have nc
party, no country, no politics and are
ready to sell anything and everything
for cash. It is high lime to speak out
plainly -and loudly, and the Virplnian
Pllot shouts: "Smash the Machine, or
Democracy dies!"
The News and Observer, published at
Raleigh, N. C, has entered upon its
forty-seventh volume, with Increasing
evidences of prosperity. The editor,
Hon. Josephus Daniels, who Is a mem?
ber of the Democratic National Com?
mittee, is to be congratulated on his
success In placing Iii? paper In the
front rank of Southern journalism. The
News and Observer, under his direction,
is zealous for.the triumph of the Dem?
ocratic principles enunciated in the Chi?
cago platform.
The N. Y. Herald seems moribund.
Its editorial breath is feeble and flu:
t' l ing, and all the evidence.'] of decay
arc In all its departments. Consider a
-0 p:<ge journal, HO columns, with only
32 columns of advertisements: and of
these 1? ere "situations wanted,"
"houses for rent" and "boarders want?
ed;"- which also testifies to the "pros?
perity" we hear of.
