'The Opportunity of the Lily
Whites.
The Lily 11Wbites have long profess
ed their desire to c.tabl'sh a white
Republican party in this State. They
have at times asserted their pleasure
at the disfranehiscment of the negroes
and at others velht mently protested
their little regard for them in politics.
True, they have been willing to let
them vote for their tiket, but they
would give them, they s:.iil, nio voice
in their party councils. Their mission
and their sole ambition was to create 1
a white Republican party, they asse
verated.
They were abiding their time and 1
awa!ting their oportunity1 to give
the world a signal proof of the sin- 1
eerity of.their profcsions.
The.r opportunity has come; they I
have hot to seize it. Republican i
demagogues in congress are making l
War against the sovereign state of 1
Louisiaoa and seeking to reduce her i
representation in congress because
eshe has seen proper to regulate her i
suffrage so as to eliminate the negroes 1
jn part from the cereise of the
1franchise. All good and courageous
Louisianians should resent the prof
erred affront and prepare to resist the
attempted outrage to tue last ditch. 7
Here lies the opportunity of the 1
Lily Whites; they should organize c
without delay to combat to the better I
end the attempt of their party friends 1
of the North to punish and humiliate e
their state because she has seen fit to a
exercise a sovereign prerogative in a 1
manner distasteful to their aforesaid j
party friends. They should lose no r
time in raising their voice strong and
loud in vigorous protest against the I
attempted outrage of their party i
friends of the North, and leave no
acans untried that patriotism can
suggest or ingenuity devise to thwart 1
these in their unholy design.
Qf course, our delegation in con
gress will resist and combat the at. t
tempt at reduction by all the means I
at their command, and will receive
the assistance of the Democrats of I
the State; but one sees a; a glance a
what force and efiect the United pro- e
teat against and strong condemnation c
of the measure by the Lily Whites f
would edd to the resistance of the ~
Louisiana delegation. It would show 1
the ~iepublieana of the North that a
not only the Democrats of Louisiana
are opposed to their measure but also e
a strong contingent of the Repuhht- t
cans. It would likewise tend to provc b
the sincerity of the Lily Whites' pro te
fession of a desire to establish a white I;
Republican party.
Traly, here is a fine opportunity o
for our friends to do some good for "
1biA country and for themselves at t~
the same time. Lot them avail them
selves of it.
Negroes Protest.
The Third District Association of y
the A. M. E. thureb south, recently a
in session in Amite City, adopted U*
strong resolutions, denouncing law- 0
leasness among both whites and ft
blacks, and appealing to congress not a
to cut down southern representation a
fa congress. The association is corn tl
posed of negroes, anti the stand taken ft
by it in regular assembly will prove o
beneficial. The action of the ddele ii
sates evinces a commendable degree tt
pf patriotism sani practical sense, hb
The appeal to congress is in thesew
words: w
"Resolved further. That we pray bi
the congress of the United States not *
Jo so antagonize the rat-e question by sso
a reduction of southern, rerhresdnta 1,
Iion as to stir up race hatred in the

' from which the negro will he the
s' greatest sufferer. The nearoes do
well, therefore, to protest aguinst the
or impetidieg agitation, for in so doing
they only consult their own interest
I and sei k to avert a threatened danger t
to them.
The negroes of Louisiana and, we t
believe, of the whole South, now en
joy more peace and quite and are
better protected in their iights and
a property than they have ever been;
1e they go about unmolested in their
daily avocations and in the pursuit
e of happiness, and their worst enemies
et
are they who would disturb this hap.

pretense of vindicating their right of

e -- t
n Science is to day the great lever t
a that moves the world. Everything t
yields to it. Without it nothing is v
possible Man no longer depends .
d upon chance in the casting of his die. t
e The great progress of this :ige is due .1
i- to science. Man lives cnd passes a
away by :t. It quickens every im. k
y pulse, creates incentives to labor, and a
n reduces woik to its minimum severity. 1
It makes the impossible possible and c
f turns fa ilure into success. There is
'r nothing it cannot do. i
e Agriculture has at last recognized tU
r its power. By it alone can "two v
s blades of grass be made to grow tl
e where one grew before." The agri T
s culturists no longer sneer at it or at ,1
! "book laruin 7" It is conceded that fi
e "elbow grease" alone is ineffective. b
The effects of drouth, "wet spells",
e heat, cold, etc., are all in a measure c,
e counteracted, and what presaged f,
r ruin years ago Is today viewed only T
s as a slight check. By proper and c,
e approved methods the soil is made to ei
) answer the demands of the owner. sý
S Wonderful but true ! We sometimes tl

A Question of "Sugar." fe
The consumption of sugar last ti
year in the United States averaged. St
about 57 pounds for each inhabitant5 te
which, at 5j cents a pound, wou'd to
cost $3.42 apwece, or $6.10 for a in
family of five rersona. If the ditty do
were removed and the Sugar Trust h(
allowed the people to get the benefit te
thereof, the" saving wonuld be $1.14 es
for each person, or $5.70 for a family It
of live, for a whole year. There is re
neither certainty nor probability that wi
the savIng would be as great as that, de
but there is almost a certainty that m
whatever reduction should be allowed ci'
would be made for the purpose of th
breaking down the domestic beet me
sugar industry, which is now the*
source of wages and Income to exc
1,800.000 persons.
Would the saving secured by re ch
,moving the duty on raw sugar psy tli

s A new explosive has been invented.
t Capt. Beverly W. Dunn, of Louisiana,
is entitled to the credit for this in
Ivention. Heretofore with the ex
p!osives used shells exploded on
imlpa(-t avluinst a ship's armoir.
lDunu"- explosive whieb is known as
C nxplosive D." or "Dunte", explodes
coly after the shell has penetrated
through the ship armor. In other
words the explosions takes place
s inside instead of out side. The read.
ie ers of the SENTINEL can easily imna.
" gine the greater power for destruction
ie of the new invention. The papers
g are full of favorable repoi ts about
;t Dunite, which the government after
r two years trial has been pronounced
superior to anything of the kind used
e today by naval powers. A shell con
taining twenty five pounds of Dunite
e fired from a 12 inch gun did wore
` damange than one loaded with three
hundred pounds of gun cotton hurled
r from the great Uathwnn gun.
t
Everyday' new inventions for des
troying life and property are reported.
In this day of ahvanced civi izition,
when the light of christianity has
penetrated through every nook and
corner of the univer-c, we find men,
governments and nations bendhog all
their energies, and taxing brains to
r the utmest capacity in the endeavor
; to provide for the easy, spee ly and
s whole sale destruction of human life.
S Are we not in a sense doing worse ,
than was done in the dark ages ?
I' Are we better than barbarians? We
5 are told we are mare humane, we
kill only in civilized warfare. We
I slaughter more but then such is war.
This is rot. Our civilization has not
I civilized, christianizel us.
I Human life is sacred. No man is
justifiable in taking life, except it be
1 to save his own. Wars can be pre
) vented. There is no necessity for
them. There is no excuse for theta.
Those who are for war and who
t declare war are not those who do the
t fighting and risk their lives on the
battlefields. It was Victor Hugo,
who first suggested an International
congress for the settlement of difj
I ferences arising between nations.!
The Czar attempted it, but the Hague
I congress was a failure. Nations
should not wear out their brains, and
spend their money in providing for
that which will "kill and destroy
most," but should provide means for
the peaceable and honorab'e adjust
ment of international complications.
We have hope and believe with Car
negie in "Triumphant Democracy",
that the day is nut tar distant when
"The drum shall beat no longer,
And the battle fi'igs be furled,
In the Parliament of Mlan,
The Federation of the World."'
When the continents of the world
shall be united into one nation under
the Federal system, with America on
one side and Europe on the otter,
shall form a league of peace to which
each continent shall send delegates
to decide international differences,
removing from the world its greatest
stain, war between man and man, and
yielding to the supremacy of tha$
power which must ultimately rule
aed harmonize the world true chris
tianity. The opportunity for this
great woi-k is btfoie us. Who will
grasp it and teach the twentieth cen
tury world the everlasting truth that
the victories of peace arc more re
nowned than those of war.
There is one fe-a'ure of current his
tory over which few observers can
feel thankful to-day, says tLe Boston
Advertiser. It is the existence of
the disgraceful dletention camps in
.South Africa. The Herodian slaugh.
ter of children in Judea has passedI
toto history as one of the moat revolt.
ing episodes ever chronicted ngaiast a
despot. It alrea'ly begins to look,j1
however, as if the records of the de.
tention camps in South Africa wou~d
exceed even Herod's ghastly total.
It may be doubted also whether the
repugnance and abhorrence with
which mankind regards the ghastly
deed of Herod overshadow the serati. L
ments now felt by the nations of the "
civilized world toward Great Britain,
the author of or an apo~ogist for this
modern infamy.
,The above from the Time. Demo.
crat notes one of the many revolting
experiences of the "just and holy
wars." As long as civilized teings,
christian nations, tolerate wars, why
they must be prepared to go it "*whole
h-u or none." Kill, butcher slaugh
ter, must be t1h' oil-r of the day in
wars and itl.- nati'nn tlit cn ii -0
