WAR AT LINCOLN IS GOING MERRILY ON
la the Meantime the Fnblle U the
Only BusTerer Thnack the Slow
Service Given by Coa-aar.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept. 15. (Speclal.)-The legal
contest now on between the Traction com
pany and the police was resumed In police
court this morning In the case wherein
Conductor Waller la charged with assault
ing Officer Overton. About a dosen wit
nesses were examined, with the result
that It waa established that the real cause
of the trouble between th men waa the
battle cry of the street car men, which
was, "Git that fare."
It waa thla cry, yelled by a number ot
street car employes who saw the officer
arrest the conductor for running his car
too close to the one ahead, that inspired
Waller to leap from hla car and run for
the policeman. It was this cry that
stirred up the blood In the usually mild
tempered officer. It was this cry that the
crowd took up and rent the air a-yelllng.
It was this -cry that' Inspired the officer
to strike the conductor and It was this
same inspiration that worked the conduc
tor Into a state of resistance. The police
man testified that had it not been for that
cry he believed there would have been no
trouble. Until It was shouted the conduc
tor had not asked for the fare and the
policeman had not thought of taking the
conductor to the station, merely having
told him to report , there the next morn
ing. Dozens of other witnesses are to be
examined In the three coses and an all
fall session of the court Is looked for.
The trouble occurred several nights ago,
when the police arrested the conductor
and motorman of a car for running too
close to tbe car ahead of them. The officer
told them to go to , the station the next
morning and then stepped from the car
after a little passage of words. A crowd
of street car men who saw the trouble
yelled for the conductor to collect faro
from the policeman and the conductor
jumped from his car and ran after the
policeman. This started a fight between
the two and a number of men rushed Into
the fray armed with bricks. The conduc
tor and motorman were both taken to the
station.
The result of the . petty differences of
the street car company and the police has
been to add to the' woes of an already
long-suffering public. . The manager of the
company gave ' orders yesterday to run
all cars according to the ordinance which
specifies seven miles an hour. The cars
are not making that time. They are mov
ing like a funeral procession and peopl s de
siring to get anywhere are going on foot
or . in hacks. If the present fight keeps on,
the traction company will be petitioned to
put on sleepers and diners for the accom
modation of th public Laborer who use
the ears to get to work, this morning had
to start from home fully thirty minutes
earlier than usual to get there on time.
Late this afternoon Judge Cosgrave dis
charged Waller, becaus twelve men swors
he didn't strike the policeman and only
six swore he did.

WILBUR F. BRYANT.
TRENTON, S. C, Aug. $0, 14.-Wllbur
F. Bryant, Esq., Lincoln: Dear Sir I
have your letter of August 19. As you ad
dressed me as a democrat, I presume your
Inquiries are made In good faith, and - I
therefore take the trouble to answer you at
some length, not as fully, however, as 1
would like.
The act ot the mob at Statesboro, Ga., Is
to be deplored, but more deplorable Is the
fact that a whole family of white people
have been butchered, stamped out, by th
two fiends who were burned and their ac
complices. The more deplorable still is
the condition In the southern states which
makes such things possible and which
promises to make them of more frequent
occurrence in the future. Mob violence is
getting to be only too ' common In this
country, but I think the burning of two
confessed murderers and condemned crim
inals in Georgia will not jeopardize the re
public one-thousandth part as much as
the action of the mob in Colorado which
has recently been trying and condemning
men and exiling them, and doing this, loo.
outside of the forms of law.
Mobs are bad, but they are evidence of a
spirit of liberty. There was a mob 'In
Boston once which boarded a vessel and
threw some tea Into the water in resistance
to a tyrannical tax. A mob In Paris Stormed
the Bastlle and afterward captured the
French king in his palace. We never
hear of a mob In Russia, unless they are
doing the work of religious fanatics, as
was Illustrated in the massacre of Jews in
that country.
The southern people are confronted by a
condition such as has never existed In the
history of the world. Two races, one of
which has been slave to the other, are liv
ing in the same cointry and under the
law they are entirely equal and entitled to
all the rights and privileges ot cltisens.
There are 786,000 negroes in South Carolina
and only 550,000 white people. For eight
long, dismal years these Ignorant and de
based negroes governed, if the word can
be applied to such rule as we had, and
then the white minority threw off the
yoke. We did It because life had ceased
to be worth living on the terms and condi
tions which existed from '68 to '76.
From necessity we used force and fraud
to overcome th majority. The negroes
were backed by the United States govern
ment and the great republican party. The
whites had nothing but the memory of
a civilization coming down to them from
a thousand years of Anglo-Saxon manhood.
We used our brains and managed to lib
erate ourselves from a condition that was
hopeless and unendurable. We have re
established law and order as far as prac
ticable and are endeavoring to preserve
our civilization. The negroea haVe tbe
; memory of eight years of "license and. In
spired by the actions and utterances of
President Roosevelt, they have given evi
dence only too plainly of a hope and be
lief that their time will come again. Race
antagonism and hatred grows apace.
The whites are resolved to govern at
whatever cost because experlece has shown
that any other course means ruin. The
criminal classes among the negroes in
creases at a fearful rate and unlesa tbe
northern people can be made to understand
that negro equality Is something that will
not be tolerated and that no power In the
world can force upon us, a race war is
inevitable, with the result that tbe negroes
will be exterminated.' '
'History Is full of Instances where white
men have governed white men ruthlessly.
There are object lessons In plenty through
out the world today of the fact that the
races are not equal, cannot be made so
either by law or constitution, and that the!
white man governs wherever he is in con
tact with any of the colored races. Senti
mental Ideas and feelings will not settle
this question. The white people of the
south are on top and Intend to stay there.
White men of the north would do likewise
under similar circumstances. Intermed
dling with our local conditions, such as Is
threatened by the republican party- only
aggravates the already strained relations
between the races, and while there may be
a bad state of affairs existing, by the acts
of vlofence by the blacks against the

MR. E. A. KARNER, a Leading Citizen of St. Louis.
Like many a man and woman, Mr. Karner drifted Into consumption ' through
thinking he was too strong to doctor a mere cold, only the use of Duffy's Pur
Malt Whiskey at. the critical moment saved his life. Hp says:
"Early last fall I caught cold, but being strong and rugged, had an Idea I could
wear it off I kept getting worse all the time. The trouble went oV-prr Into the
throat and developed a bad case of catarrhal bronchitis. Medicine seemed to have no
effect. Ths poison worked Into my lungs, and hy February the doctors gave me up
to die of consumption. Hemorrhages Impoverished my blood; I lost flesh, and was
completely prostrated.
In despair I commenced taking Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. The effect was Ilk
mnglc. I felt better from the llrst dose. Hope crept Into my heart, refreshing sleep
came back, night sweats were not so frequent. I could lake deep breaths with less
pain, my digestion Improved, and, thanks to your wonderful medicine, In six months I
was completely cured; once more a strong, hearty, woll-filled-out man, full of vim,
vigor and ambition." E. A. Karner, 351 N. 23d Street,, St. .Louis, Mo., July 19, 190.
