Colored Men for Registrars of Voters
and Judges of Elections.

Richard Simpson, Republican ward exc
cutive of the nineteenth ward of Baltimore
city has asked the appointment of colored
registrars of voters in the seventeenth and
eighteenth precincts. Under the sham re-
form registration and election law registrars
of voters are also judges of election.
When there was an evident purpose shown
in 1895 to vote the Republican party in power
the Democratic press warned the people that
Republican success meant Negores in office.
The Baltimore press characterized this as
without foundation.
Republican success came, and with it Ne
groes in Office in Baltimore and in some OF
the counties. And it is no fault ofthe eolored
voters that there are not more in Office They
have applied for places on the Baltimore po-
lice force and for other positions, and another
Republican victory in this state will result in
Africanizing the public service, tor the white
Republican leaders cannot longer hold them
off Without the colored vote the Republi-
cans would not attempt to make contest IN
this state. They would be in Il hopeless
minority in every county, and in not more
than five or six could they carry precinct
Rather than lose the black vote the leaders,
who are all ice-holders, would rather di
vide the offices with their colored brethren
1t would be simply question, should the
Republicans again be successful, of accedinG
10 the demands of the eolorsd ofice-seekers
or abandoning hope of ever again feeding a
the public crib themselves.

Consistency &?

The United States Senate three years age
reduced the tax on bituminous coal from u
cents a ton to 40 cents, and the Democratic
leaders were denounced by the press of the
eastern cities for not putting it on the free
list.
This same press helped the Republican
party to victory last November, and the Re-
publican party propose to restore the McKin
ley tax of rs cents ton.
After denouncing the Democratic party fol
not putting coal on the free list, they turned
about and endorsed the Republican party,
which will not only not put coal on the free
list, but will nearly double the present tax.
What consistency What safe guides

SHORTAGE IN PUBLIC
SCHOOL FUNDS.

An article in the Baltimore SIN Of yes
terdav noted the fact that about the LIST
Of July an apportionment of $500, 900 has
been usual heretofore, but the Comptrol-
Ter has less than 500, 900 on hand to
meet it. The colored schools are entitled
10 500, 900, and this will have to be cut
down to S25, 900.
The SIN article attributes this short
age to the delay in making the levy in
Baltimore. Under Democratic rule the
levy was made in April and enough taxes
we're paid by the city to enable the Comp
troller to make the full July distribution
of the school fund.
Republican incompetence in Baltimore
has certainly been embarrassing to the
state treasury, but had the city paid in
the usual amount, s125, 900, the treasury
would still be short of funds to meet the
cost Of schools and books.
Under the first full years administra-
ton of state affairs by the Republican
party comes.o shortage n the public schoot
find. This is bad enough, but when all
the facts are known the people will be
startled
The S,o, quotes Comptroller Graham
as saying the cutting down of the appor-
tionment will not inconvenience the school
boards. as some of them may have sur
plus of funds on hand The Comptroller
can have little knowledge Of the financial
condition Of the county school boards if he
holds any such an idea. We venture to
assert that there is not a county school
board in the state with surplus after debts
are paid, and that most of them are IN
debt. This shortage in the July appor-
tionment viii seriously embarrass every
county school board in the state Had It
been foreseen i is altogether likely that in
many counties the schools would have been
closed.

FLoREsvILLE, June I, 1897.
DEAR ADvocATE:-A late spring freeze in
iured our fruit crop, SO peaches and plums
will be scarce but we can overlook that
loss cheerfully by contemplating the fact that
we have had the most seasonable spring in
many years, with rain every few days and
ripe vegetables are now abundant; roasting
ears in regular session; um-um ugh!
is being vastly enlarged to keep up with the
increased acreage.
A new pottery will soon be in operation,
Excellent clay is found near by.
Several excellent residences are being
rapidly constructed, more to follow soon.
Last Saturday night, 10 miles from here, 6
family of Mexicans, man, wife and grown
grand daughter, were murdered while asleep
After death worse crime was perpetrated Oh

General Adviser.

The Baltimore San has constituted itself
general adviser to both political parties. 1t
is quite evident the Sun is very sick of being
regarded Republican origin. and it has given
signs of repentance for its past conduct. 1t
viii not publicly acknowledge an error or
that it wants to resume position ii held ten
years ago-that Of faithful, truthful, conser-
vative journal, avoiding political controversies
and abstaining from personal politics.
In its role of general adviser, it only sought
to take a step Backward step back to its
former high and honorable and influential
position. 1t is tired of Republican associa-
ton, tired of its bad company. tired of Re-
publican misrule and incompetency, tired of
the bossism it has placed the state under.
The revolt at its support of Wellington in his
speech against Cuban independence. has had
sometime to do with the Suns change. 1t
has been sick of Republican association for
somethig but hated to turn about. Its last
effort to sustain boss, whose course has been
upon very low plane, has driven away more
of its supporters, and it has decided to turn
back.
twill evolute SLOWLY, however, so as not
to particularly attract attention to its purpose.
Its first steps we're taken on Monday and
Tuesday. On Monday it ventured advice to
the Democratic party. The advice was long,
but the substance of it was that the Demo
cratic party would win this year, because of
the personnel of Republican leadership and
bad Republican rule, and that it could win
easily if certain things were done. On Tues
day advice was given to the Republican party.
That party's bad deeds were pointed out and
the truthful information was impaired to it
that it had lost its advantages, failed to prop
erly use its opportunities, and that it was
doomed to defeat. II then tried to give some
comfort to the party, and said its only posi-
BILE chance to win was to relegate TO the rear
the INSCRIPTIONS and baser elements that had
come to the front.
