fair statement OF the two essential ideas
OF the platform. That being so, then
tho distinctive characteristics OF the CHI
cago platform may be said 70 be oppo-
sitlon 70 large Accommodations OF wealth.
The move for fiat money (Which free
silver r., just as much move Tor
unlimited issues OF irredcemable green
backs) is just as much war upon pro-
perty as the government By injunction
plank. II a man has a thousand dollars
due him, and his debtor is clothed by
law with power TO pay him by oher-
ing him a thousand pieces OF green
paper, that man is just as eneotually
robbed OF his property as the Chicago
railroad was, whose tracks were torn up
and whose cars were burned by the
Chicago mob. The two distinctive ideas
OF the Chicago platform, therefore, are
opposition to accumulations OF property
and the distinctive characteristic OF the
platform may. therefore, be truly SAID 10
be opposition 20 large accumulations or
nroperty. Whether we wish TO concede
IL or not. therefore, the fact IS that the
Chicago platform has drawn line In
this country between those who believe
a people are advantaged by allowing
netfect freedom TO all men T. use their
talents and energies for accum Hating
az much property as they can ana those
who believe that this works to a people S
injury, and that the law should force
those who have made great occnmua-
lions TO surrender some OF what they
have 20 others who coyet It. Many
men will accept this analysis Of the
platform as a perfectly fair one. and
they will oheerfully march out into the
omen arena. to defend 81 as thus defined
against all corners. Many others. when
they comprehend that this is the real
meaning OF the platform. will be terribly
shocked. and will ask themselves with
or are We drifting? But, for the present
those who accept the platform as thus
understood have no idea OF abandoning

with the single remark that in our

would not have a ghost of a show to
control this union if It were not for the
support it receives in the Southern

say that 1t would not receive the sup

so that we could debate these questions
ont before the white people and have
a fair expression Of opinion and an
honest count of the votes. the Southern
states would not be for the Chicago
platform. If, therefore, that platform
with its destructive propositions IS ever
put upon the American people, the Re-
publican party may thank its own
blindness and vindictiveness in giving
the ignorant negroes the suffrage for the
terrible misfortune that will befall Anne

THEY ADHERE TO 1T STILL.

a few days ago the Washington Post,
in an editorial comment upon Texas
affairs, had the following passage:
The Texas Democrats are going 70
nominate Representative Sayers for Gov
ernor, and they are showing other evil
denca OF a recovery from the Chicago
platform craze.
Mr.. Sayers at once made the following
reply IN the Post:
In reply have to say that every candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Texas myself included)
stands pledged 10 the support OF the plat
form adopted by the National Democratic
Convention of 1896 az Chicago, and in my
judgment no person can or should be
elected Governor OF that State who does
not Loyalty adhere to that platform in its
every provision.
JOSEPH d. SAVERS.
Washington, ID. c., May 10.
This Is not the only evidence at hand
that the Chicago platform Democrats
propose to adhere to that instrument as
their confessions Of faith. A few days
ago there was a mass-mecting of Demo
Gratis at Buckingham Courthouse, Va,
to elect delegates 10 the Congressional
Nominating Convention, and this meet
ing adopted resolutions reafirming allie
glance 10 the Chicago platform. The
same thing is happening in many other
places. so that It seems clear that those
who controlled the Democratic party in
1896 control is still. and that it may be
accepted as foregone conclusion that
the party is not yet ready 10 abandon
the Chicago platform.
This is a very notifying confession
for a real Democrat TO make. but ig-
noring actual conditions, never made
them better yet. The only way 10 inn
prove them is 10 look them squarey In
the face and struggle for their lettering

THE NEGRO AND HIS FRIENDS.

II asked what negro in all these United
States was doing most for his race the
answer OF nine intelligent men out Of ten
would be Booker Washington. But some
OF his colored brethren do not seem 10
think so. The Editor Of the Norfolk Rec
order makes a slurring sllusion to Wash
ington as "the negro who plays TO the
white mems galleries" and insists that
this editor and others like him who are
trying TO get political office for the negro
are doing far more to elevate the race
than is Booker Washington.
Not only so. but at the session OF the
Philadelphia and Baltimore African
Methodist Conference. held recently in
the city OF Baltimore. Bishop Petty said
that while he endorsed Booker Washing
ton. yet he thought that he had by his
course set the negro back fifty years In
she estimation Of the white people of this
country: that Washington in concentrat-
ing the philanthropy OF the country on
that OF industrial training schools gor
negroes has injured the cause OF higher
education among them.
TIE meaning OF this editor and this
preacher is plain enough. They think
that the negro is 20 be kept down by
Educating him TO be a working man. and
that he Is 90 be elevated by giving him
political Office and college education.
They seem entirely 10 overlook the fact
that this is q material age, and hhat
education Is by no means confined with
IN college walls. but that Il is the essen
t.al feature to-day OF the working world.
