DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.

Present indications show that the
republican party in the District of
Columbia, the Capitol Of the Ma
ton, is composed Of one element
and that one is the Afro-Ameri-
cans.
These semi and tri-weekly meet
ings that are held in different parts
of the city are more of a disgrace
and damaging to the party and the
cause of suffrage than anything
else.
These meetings are unneces-
sary. The National Republican
Committee will decide which Re-
publican Central Committee is the
legitimate committee in this city,
whether the one elected under the
call of Major A. III. S. Davis, the
regular chairman, or by Aaron
Bradshaw, who never was elected
from his district.
When that question has been de-
clded then it is time to hold meet
ings to elect new Central Com
mittee.
If Major Davis ever was chair
man, and no one will attempt to
to deny it, certainly Mr.. Brad
shaw's committee is illegal,
If the National Committee au-
thorized Major Davis in con juno
ton with Mr.. Carson to elect new
Republican Central Committee and
Major Davis was the recognized
chairman of the old committee,
Certainly Mr.. Carson's committee
which is nothing more than bolt
ing committee cannot be the legally
elected committee.
Mr.. Carson comes forth again
as candidate for reelection
as delegate to the next National
Republican Convention.
He basis his claim upon having a
majority of the republican voters
with him.
AS an evidence of the policy of
his claim, although G. 81. j. Tay-
lor, has Endorsed him, The BEE
gives here with some frozen facts.
Robert 81. Keys will certainly have
a number of delegates in the next
convention.
Daniel Murray has a following.
Milton M. Holland claims that
he will have a number of delegates.
Andrew Gleason, no matter what
the other white candidates claim,
will be able to control a large num-
Der of the districts and will I'M
doubtedly organize the next con-
vention. If there is a combination
Of the Key, Murray, Holland, and
other forces it will be just as
impossible for any other element
to control the convention as it will
be for Col. Carson to get to the next
convention as an illegal contestant.
There will be a great deal of
knitting in the next contest, and
the candidates might as we'll be
prepared to meet it.
Put stop to these meetings I'M.
til after the meeting of the national
committee.

In November next the new cleo
ton law in Mississippi will be op-
erative, and under its provisions
the sovereigns must vote intelli-
gently. A Picayune representative
in a correspondence of recent date
says:
There will be only one ballot,
with the names of all candidates,
for State, county, Legislative, dis
trict and beat officers will be on
the Populite as we'll as the Demo-
cratic nominees. Under the old
constitution and laws each party
had it's ticket, and if a man got
hold of the right ticket all he had
to do to register his choice was to
hand this ticket to the election
officers All this is changed now,
and it cannot be too widely pu-
blished that it will be no easy
matter to vote intelligently, espe.
cially for State officers, either on
the Populite on Democratic tick
cts. And yet when they come te
vote they must know who are the
Democrats and who are the Repu'
blicans and who are the Populites
The nominees of both parties viii
be all mixed in together on thu
ticket. The election officers vii
hand each elector, as he presents
himself to vote, a ticket. He vii
take the ticket and enter booth
where he will find pen and ink
With this pen he must indicate b.
a cross mark opposite the name
the candidate of his choice. ID
must not scratch a name, If b
does he loses his vote, az tar q
that particular Office is concerned
. In some counties where the Popu
lites have q full ticket in the fielc
there will be at least sixty name
on the ticket. Only a limited tim
, is given, under the law. for eac
voter to mark and hand his tickle
to the election oficers.-Plaque

THE ONLY WAY.

An educational qualification for
suffrage is so clearly the best, if
not the only solution of,the negro
problem in the Southern States
which have large colored popu-
ton, that it is matter of surprise
how there can be any difference OF
opinion on the subject among in
telligent people. 1t is true. pro-
vision similar to the one adopted
in Mississippi, that the would-be
voter be able to understand and
properly interpret the constitu-
ton of the United States, may be
Objectionable to illiterate whites
and to some members of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court because
they would thus be disfranchised,
but in the public interest they
should be willing to make the
slight sacrifice.
In regard to the contest now 60
ing on in the South Carolina con-
vention over this question, the
New York Evening Post says
there could be no stronger evil
dence of the subsistence of the old
sectional issues that grew out OF
slavery than the lack of concern
in the North as to the practical
disfranchisement of the majority
of the negroes in a Southern State
threatened by the convention. The
Post quotes the Philadelphia Bull
letin, a strong Republican paper
which, in reference to this move
ment and the similar action taker
by Mississippi five years ago, say:
: that "even the warmest friends o
, the negro seem TO regard tnes'
movements with either approva
or Indifference, whereas there wa
a time when the Republican par
ty throughout the North woul'
:, have been afiame with indignation
, over these acknowledgements o
the negro" And the Bulletin fur
> thur admits that the plain trutl
is that the Republicans general.
have come to the conclusion tina
universal negro suffrage has BEEF
. a failure, and that the desire O
! the South to free itself from tn
evils of great mass of ignorance
stupidity, and superstition at tn
ballot-box is largely pardonable
and further that it is difficult t.

Ages of Presidents.

No man under thirty-6ve years
of age can be President of the
United States, but no man ever
assumed that high Office when 30
young. Washington was 81 when
inaugurated President; John Ad-
AIMS 62, Jefferson and Madison So
Monroe SO, John Quincy Adams
So, jackson 81, Van Buren, IS, W.
H. Harrison 68, Polk 30, Taylor
IS, Pierce 40 and Buchanan 66.
Tyler and Fillmore, Vice Presi-
dents, became Presidents when 81
and so years of age, respectively.
Lincoln was 50 when he took the
oath of Office, Grant AZ, Hayes "a.
Garfield 40, Cleveland 48, and
Benjamin Harrison SIS. Andrew
johnson succeeded Lincoln when
81; General Arthur was 81 when
he became Garfield's successor.
The oldest President on entering
Office was General w. d. Harri-
son; the youngest General Grant.
There are a number of men pro-
minentlv mentioned for the Presi.
dency whose ages may prove
matter of interest They are Nc
Kinley, aged 81; Thomas B. Reed
Sc; Harrison, 81; Allison, Sc;
Morton, II. These are Republi-
cans. The Democratic candidates
are not SO well known-the only
one much spoken of being VIM.
C. Whitney, who is in the first
lustrum of the fifties. The next
President will not be installed in
Office until 1897, and will, there
fore, serve until 1901, provided he
| die not or is not removed. There
fore. it would appear that Cover
nor Morton at II is too old a man
to run. This, if nothing else, is
likely to deprive him of the no.
mination. A better man than Nor
ton can be found. Mr.. Whitney
would probably be the best candi-
date for the Democrats. Item

Mrs HeloYse Durant Frethey, of No. 81 West
Forty -ninth-st, objects TO the use OF the word
'Kismet' as the title OF an opera by the company
now playing at the Herald Square Theatre. She
herself wrote the libretto OF an opera which bore
this title and II sung ten years ago, ON May
49, 1885, at Chickering Hail. for a charity Miss
Zele De Lussan sang IT, and it under the direc-
ton Of F. F. Mackay. She did not hear that the
work by Gustave Kerker and Richard Carroll was
called "Kisrnet" till 1t had been pretty extensively
advertised Then she sent protest to the managers
and asked them to call their opera by It's second
title Two Tangled Turks" but 10 this they paid
no attention Mrs. Frethey said yesterday that she
might bring a suit restrain the company from
using the name "Kismet," but she was not quite
s1re she sho What she wanted chiefly.

against the use by others of title which she felt
belonged TO herself. It not unlikely that her
opera would be produced next season and then she
did not wish 1t TO be supposed that she was the
borrower OF the title.
Lowell Mason representing the Askin Opera Com,
