A Negro On the Negroes Fus,,re.


The latest contribution 70 the discussion
IN the Forumaof the negro question, is by
negro writer, Prof w. s. Scarborough,
of Wilberforce University, Ohio. In. the
March number he reviews with deal of
severity the treatment of the negro oaes-
tion by the representatives both of the
South and of the North. Busof the future
OF his race he takes very hopeful view.
He writes: That which the South de-
clares 1t will not have-negro supremacy
has no part N the negro's plans for his
future, nor is it desired by him. He.sim.
ply seeks to exercise undeterred the free
dom to enjoy rights guaranteed himas a
| citizen by the Constitution. He leaves all
else to the future evolution of Just public
sentiment, and to private choice He has
| no desire to rule over or to harm the whites.
Pushed from the ground of negro supremacy
the fear takes the shape of being left to
the mercy of an ignorant black majority
and reconstruction days are cited by SEN
ator Wade Hampton as proof of the evils
in store, and as reason for abrogating
the negros rights | answer this by say
ing that there could now be nosach ipno-
rant rule as is claimed to have existed
then. The conditions which governed
those days have changed. The negro has
in the meantime made a remarkable ad-
vance in intelligence and education. The
admitted progress of the race has given
birth to leaders, younger and better eda-
Gated, to replace those ignorant and ire
sponsible ones. These fears are. ground
less and are not at the root of the feeling;
but that which does underlie the whole
matter and which gives the key to the
disturbance is the deep-seated preiudices
of color and caste. As a member of that
race, | believe the negro is looking over
the whole situation as a patrios should
view it-with an eye not only 10 his
own prosperous growth, but to that
of the American people, of whom
he considers himself an insepara-
bic part. With sucha view he can but
take that step which will lead from pres
ent troubles to a fruition of his hopes-to
be man among men. and not simply
negro"

Morateur, Inspector of the Boston Ravine Flee
ton Board, was kept on the witness stand till
the middle of the afternoon, and stuck closely
TO his former statement that the Board SCOUT
was carefully and regularly conducted. also that
the seal on the envelope containing the ballots
had been tampered with after being delivered
to the County Clerk and before opened in the
civil contest case of Lord against Dunster
County Clerk Beatty and Deputy Clerk Harris
testihed at length, showing that they exercised
extreme care to prevent the ballots from being
obtained possession of by outsiders
Members of the last Grand Jury testified as to
the identity of the ballots. showing that no
changes had been made while in their posses
sion.
At the time of the adjournment the preseca-
ton had Just put a voter of Boston Raviae on
the stand toprove that the ballot cast by him
had Dunsters name erased and Lords substi-
tuted, whereas he voted for Dunster.
There are said to be several other voters who
will swear TO the same effeit t. The more eyi.

thousands of people are headed for the new

All the men on the new Cuyamaca road have
quit work and their places cannot be filed.
Work on the wharves has also stonped, it
being impossible to find any men willing to
work as longshoremen or stevedores. The
crews of he ships in port have all deserted and
gone to the mines, and business is all but sus-
pended for lack Of people TO carry on trade.

have the matter of the immediate consolidation

Northern Railroads before them. The first
step in bringing this about was taken at a
meeting of the Oregon Short Line Trustees held

will be taken as rapidly as the forms of law win
permit. The question of incorporating with
this company the other Utah lines of the Union

in all its parts, will undoubtedly exercise a de-

Union Pacific, but upon the future development

additional ground for his opinion. He adds:
