think viii 80 stand as long as the Times

The Negro as a Citizen.
, Editor OF the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Before thanking you 1 waited to see
what answer the Times would make TO
your dill OF particulars" / have seen
1t, and, in my opinion, the defense amounts
to a confession, and Is worse for the de-
PENDANT than a nil DIGIT would have been.
l for one should like the Times to an
swer categorcally II 1t is willing TO see
the Southside and eastern counties Of Viz
ginia under the control OF negro super
vsors, negro magistrates. negro con-
stables, negro sheriffs, negro clerks. negro
treasurers, and negro everything else that
is elective by the people. simply because
The negro has an equal right to do what
nature itself declares he is not fit to DO.
A law, whether State or Federal. which
would bring about such a result is an In
famous outrage on humanity and foul
blot on the civilization of the age, and
cannot conceive how any Caucasian with
the natural instincts OF his race can have
different opinion.
A few days since the Times said that
the elections held In certain counties were
"a farce" because IL was claimed that the
negroes were rot allowed to vote and
give effect TO their majorities. a farce,
indeed What more ridiculous or de-
moralizing farce could be imagined than
the spectacle of a negro voting. What
more monstrous prostitution of political
power than the subordination Of the life,
liberty of the white race to the ignorance
and inherent savagery Of black
majorities A farce, Yes farce that
would become frightful tragedy If the
policy of the Times should prevail. for
there Is a law higher than statutes and
constitutions which viii be enforced
against all odds-the law by which the
white race always has maintained and
always viii maintain its supremacy over
all inferior races.
But the negro has a legal right to vote.
Yes, and southern masters once had a
legal right under the Federal law to have
their fugitive slaves returned to them:
but the people OF Massachusetts and Ohio
defed and nullified that law because It
did not accord with the sentimental no.
tons then prevailing among certain phi
lanthropists in regard to human rights.
They appealed to a higher law" So do
j. 1t Is with us more than ever a ques-
ton of human right-the right of civilized
man TO govern himself and to withhold
political power from those who would not
only ruin themselves, but the very fabric
of law and social order II they were per-
mitted to have their own way.
Your services In the interest OF white
supremacy will not soon be forgotten by
the people OF your State. CAUCASIAN.

Tho white man viii not long submit to
such rule. He knows his rights and
Knowing. dares maintain them. 1.-THE
divinity that stirs within him" tells him
that II In his mission 70 govern wherever
he finds his own race 30 circumstanccd a.
to be called 10 exercise their right to
dominate the inferior persons surrounding
them.
1t is reported that the Americans In
Hawaii have socially ostracised Minister
willis ana his family since 1t became APP
parent that II was his Intention to restore
the Queen to the throne. We know not
whether this rumor be true or not, but
we should not be surprised to find
fully substantiated, for. rs cur Albania
contemporary says. every southern
reader will understand the situation at
glance" Under the Provisional Govern
ment in Hawaii the whites ara In the
ascendency, and they are just as irmiy
fixed in the determination to perpetuate
the rule OF the white man on those isiaIds
as the people OF the southern States OK
this Union were twenty years ago to per-
petuate the rule of the white man In these
States. It is not In human nature Tor the
superior race to abdicate Its natural
throne. The white man is the rightful
occupant OF that throne. How unreason-
able TO expect him to surrender 1t.
The white people Of the United States 90
not seem to realize that the white people
Of the Sandwich Islands find 1t neces-
sary to hold in check a semi-barbarous
race Of blacks" Yet these are the words
of our Atlanta contemporary. IL the eau
caslan shall be put down and his pro-
perty be rendered worthless, and he be
compelled to desert Hawaii. the political
party which shall be responsible for the
commission Of this great wrong will be
doomed TO eternal Reproduction at the
hands of the pure-blooded Caucasians OF
this country.
In a word, the Hawaiian problem Is one
which may "overturn and overturn"
parties until the master race shall have
been recognized as the rightful rulers OF
the islands now the sport OF the inferior
races.

The New Bland Bill.

The proceedings in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Monday indicate clearly
that majority of the Democratic men,
bers of that body-not to say a ma
jority of the whole body-are in favor
of Mr. BANDS bin to provide for coin
ing the seigniorage of the silver now in
the Treasury. Some would say that
those proceedings indicate that the bill
in question is regarded in Washington
as a Democratic measure But this
latter averment might not be true. The
absence of the New York Democratic
members from the caucus Is good evil
dence, as we understand that absence.
that President Cleveland is opposed to
the new Bland bill. AS goes New York,
so goes the President. And IL he Is OPP
posed to that bill, 1t can hardly be styled
a Democratic measure, seeing that If
the Democratic party has any head. the
President OF the United States must be
recognized as that head. But let that
bill be what 1t may. Mr.. Cleveland cannot
be counted on to sign IT, Like the bill
to abolish the 10 per cent. tax on the
issues of State banks. the new Bland
bill must be regarded as one which the
President is not likely TO sign, unless he
shall sign 1t as a compromise measure.
But Mr. Cleveland is not given TO COM
promises. He believes generally speak
ing. as TO all the bills which are present
ed to him for his approval, that it is
either absolutely right or absolutely
wrong to sign them, and that conse-
uuently there is no occasion for him
to hold in allegiance his right to slay
outright all bills coming to him which
do not commend themselves to his favor.
So we conclude that, as there is nothing
in the new Bland bill which he could
regard as worthy of being made the
subject OF compromise, he is not at all
likely to affix his signature to that Dill.
More: 1t is not at all certain that the
Senate would pass the new Bland bill,
IL il were sent to that body by the
House of Representatives.
We conclude, therefore, that 1t Is not
vat time 10 be alarmed as to what might
result from the enactment OF the new
Bland bill into law. 1t may never be-
come law.

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 81, 1894
The aovernor on tho Oyster Law.

Governor OFerralrs special message on
tho oyster question. which was sent TO the
General Assembly yesterday, is a docu-
mcrt that addresses itself as well TO the
attention OF the public as to that Of the
body for whose consideration 1t is spe-
officially designed.
1t sets forth a condition of affairs that
calls for prompt legislation touching the
oyster interest and for the maintenance
OF the dignity OF the Commonwealth, and
makes suggestions, the enactment OF
which into laws would. we believe, meet
with the approval OF a vast majority Of
the people.
The Governor, after demonstrating the
insufticiency of the present oyster navy
TO protect the rights OF the State and OF
her citizens against the raids OF the Mary
lad dredgers. presents the alternatives be-
tween which we have TO choose as fol-
lows:
1--WE should either determine TO pro-
tect our waters absolutely or abandon
police surveillance over them, and cease
our efforts to raise revenue from their
products, and allow them 20 become the
common ground of the citizens of the
Commonwealth without restrictions, and
the preying ground of every predatory
craft that may please TO enter them"
But the Governor is not willing 10 &C.
cept the latter alternative.
The message throughout Is in letter and
spirit a vigorous protest against such a
course. The Governor says 1t has been
proved that with proper management con-
siderable revenue can be raised from the
oyster-beds. and TO that end. as well as
for the purpose OF maintaining the laws
of the State and ensuring TO the citizens
of the oyster section the consideration
which is their due. he recommends that
sum not exceeding $4,000 be appropriated
to purchase and equip with modern ord
nance two lIght-draught steam launches for
patrol service In the waters of the Com
monwealth adjacent to the boundary line
between the two States. He also recon-
mcnds the creation Of commission which
shall have entire control of the oyster
interest.
The message was referred TO the appro-
pirate committees OF the two houses, and
It Is hoped that 1t will form the basis of
immediate legislation on the oyster ques-
ton. which will enable Virginia TO assert
and maintain her rights and be fair TO
all sections Of the State.
The message presents an issue upon
which not only the delegates from the
oyster counties but the delegates from
the State as whole should reconcile their
differences at once.

Provincialism in New York.

When Mr.. Waite was appointed Chief
Justice OF the United States the papers
OF New York abounded In articles In
tended to show that some such great
lawyer as William NJ. Evarts ought to
have received the appointment. And this.
Notwithstanding the fact that In respect
OF everything that goes to the making OF
a good Judge. Mr.. Waite was better
equipped for that high office than Mr.
Evarts. The trouble was that Waite lived
in Ohio and Evarts in New York, and
the provincial papers OF the latter State
could not divest themselves OF the opinion
or prejudice that what the New York law
yers do not know is not worth knowing,
whilst what the lawyers of other States
do know Is not worth knowing.
We say this apropos of the dictum Of
the New York Times and New York
Herald that the President ought not to
have gone outside of Judge Blatchfords
circuit for new Associate Justice.
The fact is that the President did ex-
actly what he ought to have done when
he nominated Mr.. White for the Supreme
Bench, and went TO exactly the right
circuit for his nominee. Some such
lawyer as Mr.. whitehall Is one familiar
with the civil law as it exists in Lou
isiana-was imperatively demanded by
the wants Of that exalted tribunal. We
venture to say that the Chief Justice of
the United States and every one of his
Associate Justices are as much pleased
TO have Mr.. White upon the Supreme
Bench as Mr.. Cleveland was to place
him there. All the members OF that au-
gust tribunal will sleep the better for
having a Louisiana lawyer at hand TO
aid them in deciding Louisiana cases.
Representative Blanchard, of Louisiana,
says on this point:
Besides this. we have In Louisiana the
Roman civil law as the basis OF our
legislation, and on account Of the many
important suits that are brought from
Louisiana to the Supreme Court II Is
altogether desirable that a lawyer trained
In the principles and practice of the civil
law should be upon the bench Of the
Supreme Court OF the United States"
Louisiana was long a French possession.
and naturally did not have the common
law as the basis OF her legislation.
But enough. The Senate settled the
question of fitness when 1t confirmed the
of Mr. White. Inc honor of
going into Office without a word OF OBJ
lection having been made to his appoint
ment is rendered all the greater by the
refusal of the Senate to consent to the
of Peckham or that Of Horn
blower

Hawaii--A New View.

We are glad to read I'm the Atlanta Con-
stitution a statement-made without quail
ification--that Minister Willis as q SOUTH
ern man familiar with our old recon-
struction conditions Is personally opposed
10 the policy which he was Instructed TO
carry out In Hawaii. We do not mean
TO say that Mr.. Willis acted Alright in ac-
-epting a mission to which he was per-
eonally opposed, but that he is In the right
A disiiking the policy OF putting the
white people OF hawaii under the control
of the dusky followers OF Queen Liliuo-
kalani. This is policy which cannot
commend itself to any true southron In
this country who looks at the matter IN
the light in which II presents itself to US.
Mr.. willis, therefore, acted inconsistentiy
an undertaking to settle the Hawaiian
prot,,em In a manner which did not COM
mend itself to his own judgment az the
proper solution OF that highly embarrassing
problem.
Minister wills cannot forget the days
~ Thad. stevens's ascendency in Con-
xr~ss. He sympathizes with the people
OF his own race. and personally does not
favor any solution OF the Hawaiian prob
lem which would compel the caueasians

other products of the immediate vicinity
of Newberne.
GOOD RACING.
The weather was excellent and the races
very good The balloon ascension was
the best that was ever made here. The
lady took UP with her a dog, which was
cut loose at a dizzy height, with para
chute all to himself, while she continued
her upward course until almost lost 10
sight before cutting away from the bal
loon. The parachute gently opened and
she descended slowly and safely TO the
ground a mile or SO from the starting
point.
FINEST EXHIBIT.
The fish and oyster. game. poultry. and
live stock, with the farm products, make
up the finest exhibit the association has
ever made. The States Worlds Fair ex-
hibit. with the ladies' work, school ex-
hibits. culinary displays, floral exhibits.
and works of art. together with the col
lection OF curios. make up the most in
teresting display they have ever had.
