Labor Question

Wilmington, N. c., Oct. 10, 1898.
Editors Messenger:
If there ever was a time when white
men should stand shoulder to shoulder
now is the time. The determination of
our business men to substitute white
for negro labor is a most healthful
sign, and shows that our people nave
at last awakened to the appreciation
Of the real evil that aff1icts the COM
munity. Negro labor is thriftless and
unreliable, saves nothing and habitu-
ally lives from hand to mouth. The
wealth of a community rests ultimately
on it's labor, and when labor is I'M
productive and wasteful of it's energy
the community has no sound basis on
which to build prosperity. The change
from negro to white labor, therefore,,
is both economically sound and politi-
cally necessary. More than half of the
population Of the city is negroes, and
were it possible to substitute this en-
tire element with whites, every indus
try would feel the quickening effect,
and business would 500 double itself.
But the social side of the question is
what our duty demands that we con-
slider most at this particular time. We
are due it to society that
ment be given white labor, and that
negroes shall no longer be supported
at our expense and enabled to remain
in our midst to antagoniZe our interest
and distrub the public peace. Some Of
our merchants have taken a firm stand
in the matter. n man, a worthy
white mar can now be seen filling po-
sitions recently occupied by negroes,
and is more, giving better salts
faction h the negroes ever did. Why
will not every merchant here do like
wise and without delay? We are
aware that in certain industries sud
den changes cannot be made, but in
the ordinary wholesale and retail COM
mercial houses changes can be made
with but slight inconvenience. To
change a driver or a porter certainly
is no greater sacrifice han we are
willing to make. Some aides nave re-
marked hat their orders for groceries
are solicited now by white men repre-
senting certain firms, and they very
naturally prefer to transact business
with white drivers. We must stand
shoulder to shoulder. UNITY.

THE CHINESE EMPEROR
Examined b ne Physician of the
French A.cH cation at Pekin

Examined b ne Physician of the
French I.caation at Pekin
Pekin, October is, delayed in trans
mission.)-It was at the suggestion OF
the British minister, Sir Claude Mac
Donald. that the Chinese foreign office
requested the physician attached 10
the French legation TO examine the
emperor. the reason assigned for this
step being that this physician was the
only one officially attached 10 a le-
CATION.
The examination of the emperor by
a foreign doctor Is a complete innova-
ton. 1t has often been urged, but has
always been refused by the emperor
himself. and the dowager empress has
evidently taken this step for the pur-
pose OF ~silencing rumors as To The en-
peror's condition.
The physician who visited the en-
peror this morning. made a minute eN-
animation of his majesty in the pres
ence OF the dowager empress, Prince
Ching and a number of mandarins.
Exact details as TO the specific disease
from which the emperor is suffering
were not obtainable: but he is weak,
anaemic and requires constant care.
He is in no immediate danger. He
was cheerful and showed the utmost
Difference to the dowager empress. The
doctor promised to send his majesty
a prescription.
