A lste special from Washington
says that president Mckinley is in
q quandry over the southern race
question. Those sharing the closest
confidence says his eyes are well
opened to the real dangers to which
the presence of large colored vote
subjects the states of the extreme
south. They say Mckinley is no
impractical visionary man, bu. is as
fully convinced of the necessity OF
white supremacy, as are the men who
entertained him in Montgomery and
Savannah during the last fortnight.
Certainly bis official acts and public
addresses bear out this view. 1t has
long been apparent that whatever
might be the legal conditions will
regard to doing anything for the
North Carolina negroes, as well as
those who suffered in Illinois, thu
administration does lot propose u
bestir itself very much in their be
half.

The schedule of licenses enacted
by the Police Jury OF Ouachita parish
has the following: ssBe it further
ordained that all travelling vendors
OF stores, lightning rods and clocks,
their agents and representatives
shall pay an annual license Of two
hundred dollars. This amounts to
a prohibitory law, and We must say
it is a very good one. We have
known this and other parishes, in the
fall season Of good years, to be
flooded with peddlers of clocks, etc.,
who sold them to the negroes at most
outrageous prices, got whatever cash
they could on them, and made them
give notes for the balance due
The next fall another man comes
10 collect the notes, and he gen
orally scares the darkey and get
Ills money. He thus made from oo'
10 500 per cent on his goods. I D
b;xb haense will stop them 10 ouacn'
