and as they suppose philosophically aud
logically for self government, against
the power Of appointment by the COVER.
nor forget the object Of the Fifteenth
Amendment. Immediately after the war
apprehendiug that they were then or
soon would become a minority party, the
Republican managers conferred the priv
ilege Of franchise on the negroes.
1t was not urged that the negroes were
dt to exercise suffrage The MANAGERS
knew they were not it, They admitted
un6tness then. they admit It now But
they wanted to add that number Of
voters to the ranks Of their party, and
they wished to deprive the Southern
states Of local self government. The
managers knew that the people Of the
South would not agree to tariff robbery
OF pension stealing
After the war the Republican party
had no other reasons for being. Slavery
was abolished the Union was restored.
Thereupon they began to urge the en-
franchisement Of millions Of ignorant
and Indifferent blacks; to increase taxes
and proclaim that prosperity came by tax
alton; to insist that patriotism should
be estimated and paid for in dollars
and cents, and TO develop cupidity and
fealty IN the ranks Of the Grand Army.
With these ends in view, though not ex-
pressed. the managers Of the Republican
party under various deceptive, fallacious
and fraudulent pleas enfranohised the
negroes, gave tariffs 10 the manufactur-
ers and bestowed pensions ON the sol
diers
One evil begets another. The tariff
grew into the protection robbery the
pensions for patriotism became a plant
Of pauperism; the privilege Of suffrage
became the inherent right of tn,
negroes to seize and control the white
mans property.
These evils produced reprisals. The
negro is gradually being deprived Of hi;

down the tariff. aud the Lord only knows
what will be done with the pauperizec

Representative Daseys bill to abolish
the office of assistant secretary of state
got black eye at the hands Of the Joint
Committee on Revised Statutes Yesterday
afternoon 1t had been lying quietly for
several days, but Secretary of State
Hawkins appeared before the committee
during the noon recess and argued so
effectively against the measure that it is
likely that the House committee will re-
port it without recommendation, and
that the rose of retrenchment and reform
will be nipped in the bud.
The friends of ex-Assistant Secretary
Hughes deny that they had the bill
drawn TO operate against the Office out

Reynolds not appointing him TO succeed

The Kent county Levy Court has sent

the passage of this bill and r, C. White,

county, says that, Sussex county will

driven to this step because of the failure

taxes, as under the present law the
counties suffer'a material loss on this ac-
count Many of the voters in these
counties voted at the last election on tax
receipts dated in 1891 and under the
present law would not pay another tax
until 1894 This being the case many
persons who were formally opposed to a
delinquent law are now among its warm

the only means that can be Sed to collect
poll taxes.

these evils and to restore self govern
ment to the people, it has been neces-
sary in many states to pass laws exclud-
ing and diminishing the dishonest vote,
and the negro vote. and, by enlarging
the appointing power Of the governors,
thereby diminish the number of elec.
tive officers.
What seems an invasion Of the right
Of selfgovernment, is really an effort to
restore governmental effort to
prevent the usurpation of government by
designing carpet -baggers and scallawags
who would assume the leadership Of
hordes Of ignorant negroes TO deprive
the people Of the rights guaranteed by
the Constitution. This may not be
known or intended by the great body Of
fair minded and honest Republicans but
the fact is the same-the effect of the
legislation Of the Republican party has
been TO deprive the people of self-gov-
eminent and place them at the mercy Of
carpet baggers, mercenaries and negroes.
Self government is not negro govern
ment, or alien government, or any Of
these pernicious sophistries of sentimen-
tai nonsense inflicted upon us by Repub-
licanism degenerated from Lincoln and
Sumner to Harrison, Quay and Wana-
maker. II is a government of the people,
for the people; that means, of course,
people who speak the English language,
people who have some intelligence about
and some interest in our republican
institutions-white people.

of February 10, 1898, in reference TO my
self James G. Beebe) L V. Jeifries,
Edward Duffel John Wingate, Jacob
Prettyman. Aaron Marshall and John A.
Manning as lobbying for the fish of
Delawares shallow waters is false in
every particular and / demand the re-
traction Of IL aud a statement of facts.
The delegation was from Lewes to 60
before a committee TO submit the reasons
why the bill now before the HOuae should
pass namely, the bill to prevent the eX-
termination of fish in the Delaware
waters. For the last ten years the
Yankee fishermen have had factory on
our shore, where they make fish oil, de-
stroying fish by the thousands of tons.
With their fishing steamers Of. 100 tons
burden tilchiDg our waters with purse
nets a mile or more long, they have de-
stroyed nearly all our fish. The factor
les eject into the waters of our bay
shore such filth that the fish leave the
shore, and the boats do the rest when
they are in water deep enough to float
the boat. JAMES c. BEEBE
