WHY HONEST ELECTIONS
ARE OPPOSED.

Ask a democrat why his party is
opposed to honest elections, and he
goes into an elaborate discussion
of what he calls the Negro Problem,
as defined by Southern democrats,
that is he will draw you hideous
picture OF negroes trying to enforce
"social equality upon, and black
political supremacy" over the
whites of the South, and concludes
by asking his white Northern
brother if he would stand it, etc,
were he placed in the same position
of contact W th the negro as South
ern white men are?
This subtlfuge is so thin that it
won't wash, and it is strange that
the ballot box suffers of the South
have not seen that the thing is
tbreadbare.
What will be done with, or what
the negro will do with himself So
cially, has no more to do with his
right to vote, and to have that vote
counted, than the same things have
to do with the rights of any other
individual. When a foreigner
comes to these shores and presents
himself for naturalization, no one
thinks of going into a dissertation
on the probable effects of citizen
ship upon the social rights or privi>
leges of the community in which
this foreigner resides. No one
thinks for a moment that society is
going to be ltalianized, Irishized,
Swedenized or Bohemianlzed be.
cause persons of these nationalities
become citizenized in this country
Then why should they pretend to
think that the country Is to become
Africanized because the negro is
citzeniZed?

NO RIVALRY.

Some of our little popgun poli-
ticians bave for some time been
circulating the report that there
was a GOODNESS resulting from po-
liucal rivaly between Senator
Bruce and Hon. Frederick Doug
lass. This lie was nailed to the
counter the other evening when
the Senator in introducing the
"Sage of Anacostla" to the audi
ence at the Academy of Music,
described him as zone of the
greatest men of any race in the
world to-day. His name and
fame" he said, "would illuminate
the pages of history along with
Grant, Bismarck and Gladstone.
The Washington bee., 1892-07-09

II Northern people believe the
parrot like talk of the South, that
although they hate negroes so
that they will murder them with
impunity to suppress their votes,
they love the Union and the white
republican party, let them slip
down some night and ask the
spirit of Jeff Davis, that is dott!ng
that land with confederate monu-
ments, and they will hear "a tale
unfold that would freeze their
blood and cause their combined
locks to part aud each hair to
stand upon lis end like qullls upon
fretful por cupine.

1T is not so much a force bill but
fair elections that the democratic
party fears. When that party
wanted to defend slavery they
argued elaborately and eloquently
about Estate rights" and discoQrsed
rhetorically about the constitution,
and now when it is demanded that
they allow a free vote and fair
counf, they 60 into Mysteries over
the idea of governmental control
and negro problem, for the pur-
pose of avertlng attention from the
question of "hOnest elections.
But the dodge won't work this
time.

DEATHS.

Or. c. NJ. Hammett, Health Officer,
presents the following report for week
ending July 2nd, 1892.
Number of deaths, 162; white, 81;
colcred, IS Death rate pei
1000 per annum: white, 26.6
colored, 48.7. Total population
1871; 96 were under five years Of
age; Sc were under one year old
and Is over so years. 25 of the
deaths occurred in hospitals and
public institutions.
The deaths by classes were as
follows: Zymotic, Is; constitu-
tional, 80; local, AZ; develop
mental, 8 violence, Z.
The principal causes of death
were: Group, 0; diphtheria, 8
consumption, 13; diarrhoeal, 81;
erysipelas, 0; typhoid fever, 2;
malarial fever, 1; scarlet fever, 0;
pneumonia, 3; congestion of the
lungs. 0; bronchitis, 4; whoop,
ing cough, 0; kidney diseases. 4;
meningitis, 8; cancers, 4; alcohol
ism. 0.
Births reported: "a white males,
% white females; 25 colored
males, 20 colored females.
Marriages reported: 81 white:
II colored' till-births repo ted;
1 white: Z colored.
The deaths during last week
numbered 1872 as against 143 in
the corresponding period of last
year, aud for the whole month OF
June the total mortality reached
584 as compared with 553 In the
preceding June. The noticeable
feature of the hygienic conditions
for the week is that sixty percent
of all the defendants were chill
dren under five year of age, eight
y,six of whom were under twelve
months old. There were sixty
one fatal cases of diarrhoeal dis
eases, while during the same
time last year there were only
thirty-nine deaths from theses
causes, This great increase is to
be attributed 10 the long heated
term of twenty one days duration
during the month. With the ex-
ception of the summer complaints
the general health of the city is
in good condition. There were
but two deaths from typhoid few
er, and the acute lung troubles
have fallen to the minimum. Sew
Ell deaths by violeuce were report
ed, three of which were from fal-
ling, two from drowning, one
from injury in stone quarry and
one from parental neglect.
The above statistical statement
gives the history of marriages,
births, and deaths for the week in
detail.

RUINOUS INDEED.

Cleveland is the nominee of the
democratic party.
This is as thousands expected
and as many people of both politl-
cal parties desired. The party dfd
not take Cleveland because it
wanted him, but from dire neces>
sity.
That the nominee is a strong
man as a statesman is not true /;
neither is be really very weak.
His stubborness is his chief faculty,
which in a great man is not his
chief qualification. We all know
Cleveland. We also know his
political friends and admirers and
though he was ever so strong,
brave and good, his associations
are such that it would be ruinous
to our government and our people
to elect him.-Negro World.

The rot this week and the whole
country and the outside world

negroes have been lynched in the

THE negro should love the re.
publican party which gave him
freedom and equal civil and politi-
cal rights before the law, but
should forever despise the demo-
cratic party which has hindered
the negro from the enjoyment Of
his freedom aud privileges, and
kept the republican party from
the enforcement of the laws guar
anteeing these rights.

law must co." has become some-

What has President Harrison to
do with it? Would it be in
better taste to ask has the demo-
Gratis bought up the race leaders,
since it is the members of that
party who do all the killing?

The democratic party's suppress
sion of the negro vote by fraud
and violence in the South, and
begging for negro votes in the
North, are to say the least irrecon-
cilable Inconsistencies and can
only be matched by the actions of
the negro who desires to be cou-
sidered a man and yet votes the
democratic ticket.
