Interesting Admissions
Dispatch.)

A discussion is going on at the north
as to what will be the ultimate status
of the persons in the islands of the
sea whom we, in the "discharge of our
responsibilities" growing out of the
war with Spain, have taken, or may
take, under the protecting wing of the
American eagle. By many annexa-
tiOnistS it is held that it does not fol-
low that these persons shall be allow
ed to vote. The MISUNDERSTANDING
contend that under the present form
Of government, no territory the United
States may become possessed of can
be debarred indefinitely from state
hood. If this position is correct, and
it is fortified by the opinion of some
of the ablest constitutional lawyers
in the country, the contention of the
imperialists touching the issue falls to
the ground, unless, indeed, we are to
make a radical change in the organic
law of the land. In default of such a
change, our new wards would be-
come eventually full-fedged voters.
That condition would follow under the
constitution and the dictum Of the SUI
preme court.
Article XIV, section /, of the ON
stitutiOn, says that:
"AIl persons born or naturalized in
the United States and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof are citizens OF the
United States"
Artiv1e ". section 2, contains the
following:
THE citizens of each state shall be
entitled to all the privileges and i'm
munities of citizens in the several
states"
And the supreme court has closed
up any loophole the annexationists
may see in the words "born or natur-
Allied" by decla ing that:
Every nation acquiring territory, by
treaty or otherwise, must hold it sub
ject to the constitution and laws of it's
own government, and not according
to those of the government ceding it."
However, not the least interesting
feature of the discussion is found in
certain admission of both sides. The
contention of the imperialists is mega
lively, or by implication, an argument
against the ACCESSIBILITY of making vOt-
ers of any more members of inferior
races. Such deliverances as we give
below from our anti-imperialistic con-
temporary, the New York Evening
Post questions directly the wisdom of
so doing. Having stated the PROPOSE
ton of the imperialists that it does no
follow that all persons who have been
or may be brought into the union by
u %conquests shall be allowed to vote,
the Post makes these points:
well, why should they not be al
lowed to vote? Is it because they are
ignorant? They cannot be more SO
than the southern plantation hands
upon whom we forced the right of suf-
frage directly after the war"
Note the words 1--WE forced" Can it
be that both im%perialists and anti-im-
perialists within the republican fold
are learning a lesson from the condi-
tions in North Carolina? We hope so.
But be hat as it may, the Posts points
are we'll taken, and are a scathing
commentary upon the craftsmanship
that made the negro a voter and the
"humanitarianism" that would present
to us the alternatives of revolutioniz-
ing our system of government, or put
ting the ballot into the hands of mill
lions Of semi-savage Mohammedans,
Pagan Malay, and negrites.

EXACT ATTITUDE OF WHITES TO
h

We would repeat here what the Mes
senger has stated several times as to
the white mans feeling for the negroes.
1t is by no n Of means unfriend-
illness or hatred. We have talked with
no white mar in the last three months
while the campaign has been progress
ing with great zeal and interest who
uttered a word of hostility or unkind-
ness for the better class of negroes
Eot one. All with whom we have con-
versed have said they felt kindly To-
wards the blacks, and pitied them for
their blindness, their ~infatuation, their
ingratitude. their false and cruel lead
used them and befooled them for their
own selfish, vile, remorseless ends
were a great deal meaner, more de-
PRAYED and more censurable thar the
negroes were. All have said, who re-
ferred to the matter, that they wanted
the blacks to be contented, prosperous
and happy, but would not have them
to rule them, to make laws for them
or to control city, county and state af-
fairs. They wanted to keep them in
their proper places, and not to have
them by the Vaccinations Of wicked
and base men to be the rulers of the
state and the masters of the great
White Race.
At this point there is no division.
There is not a decent. se~lf-respecting,
law-abiding, tax-paying negro man in
Wilmington who has an enemy in the
White Race. They command their
good will and sympathies, bat this does
not extend so far as to have them
change lots with the whites and bring
trouble and ruin upon themselves and
the whites by gross miscarriages of
government and by untamed and I'M
bearable abuses while in office. If the
negroes would understand the matter
they would not so easily be misled by
wicked designing men.

AndersOn,s Case Before Supreme Court

Washington, November 8.-The ap-
plication of John Anderson, under SEN
tence to be hanged for murder commit
ted on the schooner Olive Pecker, for
a writ of habeas corpus was argued in
the United States supreme court today.
Anderson's execution was to have
taken place during August, but the
application argued today operated as
a stay. He will be resentenced if the
court decides against him.
P. ]. Morris and H. G. Hill represent
ed Anderson at today's hearing of the
United States district attorney for the
eastern district of Virginia represented
the government. The argument lasted
all day. and the court then took the
case under advisement.
Anderson's plea for habeas corpus
is based on the claim that he was not
represented by counsel by himself, but
arbitrarily named by the trial court,
thus denying him a constitutional
right of counsel OF his own choice

"THE MOTHER NEGROES.,

DR.. Guy Carleton Lee, an eminent
thinker and writer, has made a most
oppOrtune publication. He has been
making a careful study of the Negro,
IN his progress, opportunities and en-
virOnments. He has been Investigate
ing as to the real capability of the Ne
and surroundings. We saw in London
Literature" the learned and able Gin
ternatiOnal gazette of criticism" pub
lished by the great London Times
newspaper, a statement some time ago
relative to the dead failure of the ne
gro in Africa through 1000 or 5000
years. While the white race develop
ed in civilization, builded great cities,
erected mighty monuments, possessed
a literature and a religion, the Negro
Race not only did not stand fast in his
beginnings, much less develop into
higher life and nobler aspirations, but
degenerated into barbarism, and all
manner of vices and superstitions.
DR.. Lees contribution deals with the
Negro in the northern states. 1t is
thirty-three years and more since he
was freed. Many of the negroes are
descended in the north from negroes
who were born free in that section.
What is the output of Dr.. Lees calm
Investigations? How far is it with
Sambo n Josh and the advanced,
populous and rich north? We publish
elsewhere a long article taken from
the Baltimore Sun Of Monday, giving
DR.. Lees opinion at length. ]. is in
structive reading now, and good read
ing for any time. The sum of it is:
education hurts the negrO-makes him
of less account, renders him a failure
rather than an important factor, and,
really, we believe, we may add, in a
great many instances turns him into
a nuisance, a tramp, a storm-centre.
DR.. Lee finds that 80 per cent of the
young people are worthless loafers.
Pitiable but true. The sane and wise
humorist of Georgia, Major Charles
Smith ("BilI Arp") wrote long ago as
the result Of his observations, that ed
ucation of the negro failed to make
a man while spelling "a good field
hand" Read DR.. Lees statements and
learn.
Will the true White Men of North
Carolina be willing to be taxed here
after to support the educational school
for negroes? Why? Is it a duty? Is
it wise? Is it demanded either on the
score of humanity or gratitude? Does
education really make the negroes wise
men or better men or safer citizen or
better neighbors? Who believes it.
The penitentia ries of the southern
states are filled today with negroes,
and perhaps more than three fifths can
read and write.

If they can to be supreme henceforth,
provided the white men will let them.
The cry is bury white supremacy face
downward" and that means savagery,
barbarism, fetichisen, the return OF the
hoodoo, general deviltry and anarchy.
Bury white supremacy" A fine Try
of horror is the cry, Of the Savage"
one of the RusselPs favorites and
henchmen.
Hanging any negroes who dared to
vote for White Candidates was the cry
sent up by a niger speaker a month
or more since. 1t has been echoed all
around. But if the whites were to
hang white traitors the niggers would
put on war paint and swear vengen-
ance. With them it is altogether a
question of whose bull is gored.
The whites have made a most in
tensely vigorous campaign in the eff
fort to save civilization and honor
and restore white supremacy and good
government. While we write we do
