MCKINLEY AND THE NEGROES.
Minneapolis Tribune.

The Washington Post calls atten ion
to the. marked obligation which Mr..
Nc Kinley is under TO the Negro voters
1t says that at every stage of his per
sonal fight he was helped by the Ne
gro. 1t was the Negro contingent at
st. Louis that made his nomination
certain. 1t was the Negroes firm stand
for gold that forced the sound money
issue on the convention. It was the
Negro vote in such states as Maryland
West Virginia. Kentucky. Ohio, Della
ware and Indiana that made his Veto
~ possible.
In view of these facts it seems to the
Post that at least one cabinet position
should be given 60 a repres ntattve OF
the cOlored race. Among the c0lOred
men qualified for such position it
mentions the Bon. B. X Bruce and
Prof. Booker T. Washington, and the
place it suggests is that of secretary OF
agriculture
A Negro in the presidents cabinet
would indeed be an innovation but if
there il anything in political gratitude
for services rendered there is no doubt
that the colored people are fairly en-
titled to sJch recognition at the hands
Of the incoming president.
personally understandable Mr.. Bruce
has been a United States senator. and
that position was highly esteemed and
respected by all who came in contact
with him. He has also held other off,
ces in which he has displayed ability
of high order.
But we believe that the representa-
tive of the colored race who would be
most satisfactory TO his own people
and to the white people alike, if Presi-
dent Mckinley should decide upor
such step, would be Prof Washing.

education and upbuilding OF His race
and in doing SO has taught lesson o
thrift and exalted aims TO his whit,
neighbors. Professor Washington Il
thought much of 10y the white peopl,
of the South, and is about the only Ne
gro who is fully recognized and treat
ed by them as an equal on all publ,
occasions. a prominent Southern po
litician remarked, not long ago Pro
fessor Washington is one of the grea
men OF the South and bis career is al
honor to this section"
Prof. Washington has frequently Wis

ment and man Of genius. Shout,

THE attempt to defraud Hon. j. YosT
of a seat in Congress by methods
which are as questionable as they are
dishonest will be condemned by right
thinking people everywhere.
The error was clerical only, and an
amended return showed that fact. 1t
will not be long before a thoroughly
indignant people will demand cessa-
ton of these fraudulent practices and
visit punishment upon those who
have profited by such robberies.
