THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
NEGRO

David I. Duncan. the New
York correspondent Of the Char
lotte Observer, writes his paper Al
follows, under the above head
that will be of interest to our col
sored readers who are continually
talking about how good the negro
is treated up north:
| "says the Evening Telegram:
did you ever think Of the differ
ence between the negro of the
north and the negro Of the south ?
Here he is apt to be the meanest
menial, while there he is a mas
ter workman, Here he helps to
dig the cellar; there he is the man
who builds the frame of the build
ing. Here he mixes whitewash
and daubs the fenceswith il; there
he is a regular painter with some
dignity in his bearing. The south
gives most Of its best work to the
negro, while in the north he
scratches. gravel for a bare exis,
tence.'
"That is all. The Telegram
does not 60 on and say that the
negro ought to be l-eated differ
entlya the north. 1t does not
advise the northern merchants to
admit the negro into their unions.
1t does not even suggest that the
poor darkey be allowed to drive a
street car.
''In ten years I'have not seen
the negro advance one step in
New York. He is still a menial |
and his social status is below that |
the lowliest white man. He is
never nominated Tor office. He
can't rent a house that a decent
white man would live in. |
He is kept out of all first.class res

Thousands Of devoted Georgian.
looked today for the last time
upon the face of the late ex-Spea
ker Charles Frederick Crisp, as
his remains lay in state III tlls
dome, Of the capitol. From II
o'clock this morning until 9 to.
night the people of Atlanta and
representative citizensfrom other
parts OF the state, in slow process
sion passed the casket in the ro-
tunda. T."
The escort accompanying the
body left the sanitarium, where
Judge Crisp died at .o:3o. -Four
white hooses drew the funeral
car, which was followed by hum
dreds. Of sorrowing friends. Gov
ernor w. Y. Atkinson and ex-
Governor w. ]. Northen followed
the hearse, and behind them were
state and city officials, military
and private citizens.
When the casket was placed in
the capital rotunda, the dais was
covered with beautiful flowers.
The casket'e lid was thrown back
and through the glass could be
seen the calm feature of the dead.
At 9 o'clock the capitol doors
were closed to the publicand only
the soldiers retained. Governor
Atkinson and an honorary escort,
appointed from thegenera1 assem-
oly, will accompany the body to-
morrow to Americas, Judge
Crisp's late home, where the bu-
rial services will be held.
WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. The
only recognition of the de h of
ex-Speaker Crisp at the capitol
was due to the thopghtfulness of
Mrs. Oates, daughter of Repre-
sentative Bankhead, of Alabama.
She came to the capitol early this
morning and draped Judge Crisp's
picture i'll the group of portraits
of ex-speakers in the corridor
back of the speakers chair, with
mourning crepe.

Since this list was made out
there have probably been as many

Republican votes-enough to turn
the tide in a close election.
We note that some districts
have even a larger number of dis

are. figures enough to show tht
importance of having a test OF

HIGH-HANDED INTIMIDATION.

election, the desperate measure
adopted BY the opposition fur
nish it,.
The following extract from |
speech delivered BY Ex-senator J
3. Henderson in the auditorium
at Wilmington, Delware on. the
18th, shows the verge Of very des
peration, and is both incendiary
and reasonable in its purport. He
say:
If these men know what they
are doing they certainly intend TO
reorganize the institutions Of this
country. Should they be elected
and attempt to carry out this plan.
they will find no less than 4,000,-
0n0 or 100000 armed soldiers
to resist it. We will do as men
did in 1861. We asked simply
then that the constitution which,
Washington and others framed
should be preserved, and we are
going to defend it now. If moth
ing else will do them, we will de-
fend it as we did in 1S61-1s65,
and there are men who will bring
Mr.. Bryan aud his cohorts in as
prisoners Of war as they did JEFF
ferson Davis then"
We politely remind Mr.. Hend-
erson that there is larger crowd
for the constitution this
time than there We're in 1861, and
that grayer issues are at stake.
That struggle was ostensibly for
the freeing of African slaves in a
small part of cur territory-now
it is for the purpose OF freeing the
white men all over this broad |
land from rlasters more cruel |
than the southern negro ever had
and that if any prisoners are
brought in Mr.. Henderson will be
among them. /

DECEMBER WHEAT TUMBLE.

wheat took another big tumble
on the-board of trade today and
the wild excitement on change
which accompanied the collapse
ordered on a papic. There was
fall of Al cents from yesterday
closing price, exceeding the ad-
vance of any day since the SEN
sational upward movement be-
gan. Late in the day there was
a recovery and the highest point
during the morning session was
TAI cents. The main cause of
he decline was said to be the
failure of several large houses
to buy cash wheat.
