ALIRE2AL NEGRO.
Booker Washington Agrees That the
Right of Suffrage Must be Restricted

lxuO VI Suffrage MuSL Uc hcSiTlCCcu
Booker T. Washington, a prominent
colored leaderand educator of Tuske-
gee, Ala, has written an Open letter
to the unconstitutional convention in New
Orleans in which, aft. EXPLAIN est .
motives which prompted him to address
the convention, among other things
says;
such an opportunity to settle the race
question, SO far as it concerns politics,
- is now given in Louisiana. The
negro agrees with you that it is neces-
sary to tho salvation Of the south that
restriction be put upon the ballot. I II
know that two serious problems are be-
fore you. Ignorant and corrupt gov
eminent on one hand aud on the other
. way to restrict the ballot so that con-
troll will be in the haEds of the in
telligent without regard to race.
With the :incerest sympathy With you
10 your efforts to find way out OF the
dihculty I want to suggest that no
state in the south can make law that
will provide an opportunity or temp.a-
ton for an ignorant white man to love
and withhold the same opportunity
from an ignorant colOred man. Any law
controlling the ballot that is not alb
solutely just and fair to both races vii
work more harm to the whites than to
the blacks.
II beg Of you further that in the de-
gree that you close the ballot box
against the ignorant that you open the
schoolhouse. More than one-half the
people Of your state are negroes No
state can long prosper when. q large
percentage OF it's people is in ignorance
and poverty and has no interest in
government. Let the very best edu-
cational opportunities be provided for
both races, and aided to this the enact
merit of an election law that shall be
incapable OF unjust discrimination; at
the same time providing that in pro-
portion IS the ignorant secure educs-
| ton, property and character they will
| be given all the rights of citizenship.
believe that nothing will 50 help my
own people in your state as provisions
at some institution for higher acade-
mical and normal training in conuec-
| ton with thorough training In agricul-
ture and mechaoics. The fact ia that
80 per cent Of our people depend upon
the common occupations for their liv-
ing and outside of the city 85 per cent
depend upon agriculture for support.
| Notwithstanding this our people have
been educated since the war In every
| thing else but the very things that
most of them live by. First class train
ing in agriculture, horticulture; dairy
ing, stock raising, the mechanical arts
and democratic economics will make
Intelligent producers and not only
help US contribut. our proportion as
taxpayers, but will aresult in retaining
much money in the state that now
goes outside for that which can be pro-
duced at home"

Camping out.

The Santa Fe waiting room in this
city has been put to a novel use the
last three days. A party OF seven
Mormons en- route to the colonies, ar
rived ahead of their household goods,
and had to remain here unit the goods
arrived.
They hal no place to 90, aud none OF
the wherewithal of this world, so thew
had to camp out in the depot waiting
rooms. So they did their washing,
cooking and Kept house there until
this morning, when the expected house
hold goods arrived, and then the outfit
went over the river. But, as chance
would have it, they did not get over
IN time to catch the morning train.
and now they will have to wait until
Friday ere they can leave for the col
onies over the Sierra Madre road.

Where Socialists Invest.

Much amusement has been created
in Germany by the discovery that al
most the entire funds of the powerful
socialist and anarchist movement in
the dominions of Emperor William are
invested for safety in Prusaiau and
German government bonds. This fact
has been brought to light through the
publication of q financial report by the
leaders of the movement appealing for
subscriptions and complaining that
during the last year the expenses have
been SO heavy and the contributions
relatively 80 small that the treasurers
found themselves unable to invest the
same amount of money i, government
bonds as in previous years.

A Bullet Set in Gold.

Perhaps one of the most peculiar
presents ever made by bridegroom to
his bride was that of Maurice Clifford
to Miss Thorold on the occasion of their
marriage the other day. It was the
bullet which was extracted from the
wound in his shoulder witch caused
the loss of his arm. The gold in which
the bullet was set was dug from a
graveyard in Matabeleland and was
fashioned in the shape of double
hearted serpent, the heads supporting
the missile, the whole making a very
unique armlet.
