BLACK AND WHITE PUZZLE.


the Negroes.
JACKSON. Miss. Sept 30-In the constitu-
tionai convention today, the committee to
which was referred the subject of memorial to
congress on repeal OF the fifteenth amendment,
reported long series of res solutions. They set
forth that the white and negro races though
friendly and homogeneous for all business and
industrial purposes, are widely separated by
race instincts and prejudices III all political
and social matters. and there is no well founded
hope OF q change. With such conditions there
will ever be conflicts of greater or less magni-
tude concerning control of the government OF
the state in which their numbers are approx
mately equal. Such condition OF insecurity
IL not only great political and
social evil, but also greatly impedes
the industrial development, and inasmuch rs
the white people only are capable of conduct
ing and maintaining the government of such
states, the negro race. even its people who are
educated, being wholly unequal to such re-
sponsibiIity. Therefore it IS the deliberate
judgment of the people OF Mississippi thai tho
only efficient remedy lies in the repeal of
the Fifteenth amendment. whereby such restric-
tons and limitations may be put upon negro
suffrage by the several states ~ may be neces-
sary and proper for the maintenance OF good
and stable government therein. Congress il
asked for submission of the question 10 the
states.
