TALK OF THE NEGRO.
Warm Dfebate Between Senators

Itiirton Plnri'rt Strrn on tlic Urrnt Fount

Would Ili;lp Them to Help
Thuinnnlvcfi.
Madison, Wis., July 2S.Scnator B.
H. Tillman, of South Carolina, matched
his wit and sarcasm against tho legal
mind and western manners of Sonator
J. 11. Burton, of Knnsas, last night In
a Joint debate' on tho negro question.
Sonator Tillman said tho peoplo of tho
north were as bad ns those of tho
south in their handling of fho negroes.
"Whon a negro up hero shows tho
outcropplngs of the instincts of his
Inferior race," said Mr. Tillman, "you
mob, string, lynch, burn and outrngo
humanity with him. It makes a
mighty big difference whoso family is
struck, whose home is entered, whoso
wife or daughter is tho victim. ir'ou
men of tho north are not slow to act
when your women aro outraged and I
want to say you aro men to do it. If
you had as many 'niggers' as we do
in South Carolina you would feel as I
do and your people would sustain your
'anti-nlggcr' senators as my neonlo
sustain me."
Tho fiory southern senator was un
popular at first with tho audience of
8,000 people, but at tho closo or tho de
bate ho was applauded,
Sonator Tillman said tho negroes
owed all tho progress they had mado
in America to the fact that they were
once In bondago and that tho south had
nourished them into whatever indus
try, virtuo and intelligence thoy over
attained; that tho north went to war
to "froo tho nlggors" first and to "save
the union" afterward. Tho republican
party, ho said, played tho friend of the
black In order to got black votes. The
Greatest disturbing element in the
problem was the fact that tho people
of the north, affecting motives of char
ity, Christianity nnd humanltarlanlsm,
wore attempting to poke their "groat,
long, Yankoo noses" into tho business
of tno southern states that were equal
to tuo problem that would nbt bo In
danger of overwhelming them unless
tho northern influence- brought about a
war of extermination.
Sonator Tillman said tho negroes
wore recognized in the south whon
they deserved it, and sometimes, when I
not develop.
Sonator Burton agreed that tho ne
gro hns apparently grown more de
graded and more criminal than before
tho war, but said it was tho fault of
tho south, lack of schools and the
"ouchroing" of tho negroes out of their
constitutional rights by southern
whites. Ho said in education lay tho
solution of tho problom.
Sonator Tillman agreed with Burton
In this, but said the south would take
up arms rather than allow tho north
to force an Impossible soclnl or politi
cal equality between tho whites and
negroes In tho southern states. Ho
says that tho United States barred
Chinese from Its gates bocauso of tho
Inferiority of tho Mongolian race and
j.ho impossibility of Chinese over be
coming tho social or political equals of
Americans.
Sonator Burton placed stress on the
groat possibilities he said lay in the
negroes. Their capacity for develop
ment, ho said, had been proved in
every northorn state, and not only in
tho north, but In tho very heart of tho
south. At Tuskcgeo, Ala., Booker T.
Washington, a black man, had demon
strated there for soveral years that tho
negro, when given tho advantages of
properly administered education, could
outstrip tho whites In the moral and
industrial world.
Sonator Burton concluded as fol
lows: "I would not support tho nqgro In
Idlenoss. I would not give lmn nn edu
cation; indeed, I would not bo in favor
of giving him anything, In tho sonso of
making a present; but I would help
him to help himself nnd while ho is
obtaining tho education of tho head I
would havo him earn It by tho use of
his brains. What is needed are more
Washlngtons and Frlzzolls to point tho
way. Wo need more captains of labor
In tho education of tho negro. "
"Whllo we aro helping him to help
himself out of tho darkness of Igno
ranco into tho light of education of
hand, heart and hoad, let us make
him know and fool that ho Is clothed
with tho panoply of citizenship, which
is tho nroudost nnslilnn thnt n.,v ,n
can occupy in this world; and If for
tho protection and purity of tho ballot
It has become necessary to throw
around It tho safeguards of property
or educational qualification, or both,
let us assuro tho black man that this
standard is no discrimination against
him, that It applies with equal exact
ness nnd certainty to tfeo white man as
well."

Wounded.
Sacramento, Cal Ally 28. A spe
cial to tho Bee from Folsom says:
Fourteen desperate prisoners confined
In the Folsom penitentiary mado a
break at the breakfast hour yesterday
morning. They seized Warden Wilkin
son, his grandson, Harry Wilkinson;
Captain of the Guard Murphy and sev
eral other officers and guards, and,
using them as shields against tho fire
of tho Gatllng gun, proceeded to the
armory post, overcame a guard who
sought to stay them, armed themselves
with rifles and pistols and escaped
across the prison ranch into Eldorado
county.
A "desperate fight took place in the
captain's ofllcc, whero the prisoners
mado their break. The convicts were
armed with knives and razors and
with these they assaulted Warden
Wilkinson and his officers. The
warden's clothing was" slashed intc
shreds with a razor, but tho blade did
not touch the flesh.
C. J. Cochrane, turnkey of the peni
tentiary, entereirlhe offlco during the
assault and seized a chair, with which
he made for the assailants of tho offi
cers. Ho rained blows upon them right
and loft, but ho was felled by a knife
thrust in tho back. It Js thought he
may die. William L. Cotter, a guard,
was cut in the abdomen so that his
entrails protruded. He died in the aft
ernoon. W. C. Calmer3 was severely
cut In tho head with tho razors in the
'hands of the convicts. The floor of the
office was covered with blood.
The several hundred remaining pris
oners made no show of resistance nnd
thoy wero quietly returned to their
cells and locked up. The convicts
seized weapons in the possession of
tho officers and, with 'Warden Wilkin
son, Capt. Murphy and others in the
office proceeded to the armory post,
where they fortified themselves with
rifles, knives, pistols and ammunition.
The warden was taken about a mile
toward Mormon Island bridge and a
convict, armed with a rifle, marched
on dither side of him, He was told
Chat they would not harm him, but if
any of the pursuers took the life o
ono of the escaping convicts thej
would retaliate, life for life. Th
warden was the first to return to the
prison. Ho wore no hat, the prisoners
having seized this from him. Capt.
Murphy appeared soon afterwards
minus his trousers.
Tho convicts went to a farmer's
house, seized his four-horse team and
wagon, gutted tho house of every
thing of value it contained, took the
farmer with them as a driver and are
now headed for Bald mountain. Tho
alabaster cave Is situated near this
mountain and it is believed that tho
convicts will take refuge therein.
Folsom penitentiary is tho prison
without walls. It is situated in a
rocky amphitheatre closo to the Ameri
can river, about 20 miles from Sacra
mento. The prisoners are locked up
at night in the cellhouse but during
tho day thoy labor in the stono quarries
under tho supervision of armed guards.
On tho hills surrounding the prison
grounds nro watch towers in which the
guards armed with gatllng guns and
rifles aro. stationed. Mounted guards
aro also ci stationed about the hills.
Nearly 1,500 men aro confined at Fol
som and it has been the practice to
send the most desperate prisoners
there. Tho American river runs
through the prison grounds but its
waters aro rapid and deep, with high,
precipitous banks and an escaping
prisoner stands but littlo chance at
crossing.
