Tillman On the Negro.
He Can be Faithful, But He is Not
Fit to Vote.

Washington Tines.
United States Senator Bepjamin
R. Tillman, of South Carolina, and
Rev. A. H. Bradford, D. D, of
the Mountclair First Congregational
church, debated before the Outlook
Club here recently on both sides Of
the race question in the South. Sen
ator Tillman after laying the cause
of the problem to the war and draw
ing graphic picture Of the ruin and
displation caused in his land by the
civil conflict, went on to say:
"The white man is superior to the
colored race, and, so help US God, we
will maintain our superiority. Your
great soldier, Grant, sent to my coun-
try in 1876 a regiment of ten COM
panies to maintain carpet bag govern
ment. Those troops had orders to
compel free vote and fair count.
They did their duty as they saw it.
They maintained Law and order,
although there were $500 blacks to
$500 whites. What do you reckon
our majority was? Thirty-nine hun
dred. Laughter. Can Tammany
beat thats Can Philadelphia beat
it? We beat these people by out
voting and out-countipg them, and
admit it. We cannot repeal the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments except by force and fraud, and
told the senators this in Washing
TN, and then I said: what are you
going to do about il? In the North
it is case of white rascals against
white rascals. In the South with US
! it is a contest between Anglo Saxon
superiority and civilization and de-
graded and corrupt people.
The colored people are a happy
go lucky, immoral, untruthful, un-
reliable race, There are exceptions,
and bright ones, but I speak of the
great mass. They were unfit for the
ballot, and now, because they ale
lacking in that moral fibre which
gives them sound judgment, and
they can be led away by any shrewd
and sharp rascals. I simply recog'
nize my superiority to him and am
willing to cansent to him life, liberty
and happiness so long es he does not
step on my feet. Laughter Take
a pilgrimage to the South; settle
in any part you may please, and if
YOU Gon t come North convinced that
my view is the right one, why; then,
I'll stand treat. I have negro on
my plantation twenty-seven years
! old. I would trust him with my
wife and child, and he would die
protecting them, but be Amt tit tc
vote. You can't altar what God has
made, aud though this or that negro
may be a decent man or an honest
man, yet the tiger is loosened in O
white mans bosom without regard
to consequences when the two races
come in contact.
Speaking Of the negro from the in
dustrial standpoint, Senator Tlllmar
said: He is by nature and BY every
Instinct Of his soul loafer. Hi:
one purpose in life is to get some
thing to eat for today with no thought

The Tolberts Defiant.
r. r. Tolbert Says They Will Re,
turn Home.

turn Home.
But He is in Washington and Prob
ably Was Talking for Effect Push
ing His Congressional Contest.
R R. Tolbert is in Washington
Notwithstanding the action of the
people of Abbeville and Greenville
counties in positively warning him
and some of his relatives to stay
away from those counties. Tolbert
says he is going to return. The fol-
lowing is from the Washington Post:
Mr.. R. R. Tolbert, of Abbeville,
S. G., whose political activity made
it necessary for him to flee from the
Palmetto State at the time OF the
last election, has returned from a
trip to his home, and last night was
registered at the St. James hotel.
"Affairs have quieted down somewhat
since the excitement of election time,
said Mr.. Tolbert, "but I do not by
any means consider that all danger
has passed. I would not be sur
prised at any time I am within the
borders of tie State to find myself
surrounded by a dozen Winchesters.
Those people never come at a man
single handed. Still South Carolina
is my home, and I shall continue to
reside there. I have just spent two
months in my congressional district
preparing evidence against Repre-
sentative Latimer, and I met with no
physical violence. Shortly after 1
went to my home near Abbeville
court house there was a meeting of
the citizens held and resolutions
passed calling upon me to leave the
State. A committee waited upon me
and presented them, but paid no
attention to the resolutions.
Il continued to remain there for
two weeks afterward, in fact, until I
had concluded my business. Then I
canvassed my district, although I
did not visit Phoenix, where most of
the rioting occurred. I have several
days yet in which to complete my
testimony in the contested election
case, but I have secured already
practically all I want, and l shall
certainly push the matter before the
house committee. None of our fam.
lily have yet returned to Phoenix OF
Mccormick, but all will do so shortly
and face all the opposition and Win
chesters which may be brought be-
fore them. They will not attempt
to cause trouble, but seek to avert
it. My father, wife, brother and
children are now in Charleston. Bu'
they have a plantation near Phoeni,
and will return in the spring to cult
vate. My brother, who was shot
four times, is an invalid for life, but
be proposes to live out the rest O.
! his life in South Carolina I would no
be surprised to see these disturb
ances taking place until congress, a
I believe it will do, cut the repre-
sentation Of South Carolina to it
actual voting population. Then sb'
will have three instead of seven con
gressmen. That will open the eye
Of the people. However, SO far as
am concerned I would prefer th'
representation to continue as it is
with suffrage for ALL [ shall return
to South Calolina as soon as th'
present session of congress closes.

Scores a Strong Point.

Special to the Dispatch:
Washington, d. c., Feb. 25, 1899.
Representative Stokes scored a
point in the interest of his constitu-
ents a day or two ago, when he sue
ceeded in placing on the post office
appropriation bill an amendment
which goes long way toward his
Star Route delivery scheme. Find
ing that it would be difficult to get
through separate measure on any
subject this session, ard realizing
that something must be done at this
session, if done at all in time to bene-
fit S ,uth Carolina. Mr.. Stokes placed
it as rider OH the Appropriation
Bel.
As contracts for Star Routes III
South Carolina are due to be ercncwed
next fall, and as these contracts are
for years, it is very important that
the law be passed in some form prior
to the giving out Of these contracts.
While Representative Stokes dis
trict will get large slice OF the
benefits from this Legislation, it Is
more than local matter. 1t will
reach the rural communities all over
South Carolina and over all OF the
States. It is a measure that Is
National in its sweep covering some
thing like 10000 Star Routes and
the millions of rural residents served
by them. When this system is sup
plemented, as it will be in time, by
his Rural Delivery system, where ap-
plicable, the rural districts will have
fairer proportion Of the benefits OF
the postal system than ever before.

Notes Of Travel from Batesburg
to Florida.
To the Editor of the Dispatcb:

To the Editor of the Dispatcb:
On the morning of the 10th of
February I and my friend P boarded
the train at Baxter, near our humble
home. for the distant land of flowers,
arriving at Denmark at $3.50 a. m,
where we had to lay over until the
next morning at 7 o'clock. Denmark
is nice little town on the F., G. and
P. railroad, ffty-two miles Of Colum-
bia. We found kind friends ready to
make our short visit pleasant. We
left Denmark at 7 a. m. for Savannah
arriving there at 10 o'clock and had
only glimps of the city, as we had
just time to get ticket for Jackson
Vile. The road from Savannah to
Jacksonville is continual swamp in
which can be occasionally seen some
very poor cattle.
We landed at Jacksonville at 2 p.
NJ, distance cf two hundred ard
thirty.seven miles, in seven hours.
Jacksonville is a modern city with
all the beauty and wealth to make it
attractive. The first thing was to
satisfy the innerman which was done
with new cabbage, tomatoes, straw
berries, etc., and fish until we could
almost swim. Then we went out to
see the ships and boats as they
plowed the waters of the st. Johns
river. Oar eyes grow dim as we be-
hold the beauty and grandure of tie
Lord and the skill of man combined.
We spent night in this beautiful
city. Enrly Saturday morning we
left for Waldo, fifty-six miles South
! West of Jacksonville. After travel
| Of about two hours we found our
selves at Waldo, entirely among
strangers, but the Lord always pro-
v.des, and soon we found ourselves
a. the hospitable home of Mr.. h. p.
Ho!stein, one of Ridge Springs noble
soas. Here we were made to feel
the good of a friend three hundred
I'd fifty miles away from home and
lived ones. Mr.. Holstein married
here and to say the least of his noble
wife, she is just model women.
We find this rich little town of
about one thousand Inhabitants,
though the people are very despond-
emf, as the recent cold has just killed
all their vegetables and worse, their
fine orange groves are all dead which
Was out in full bloom. Oranges is
their main crop. The lecp 2 work

The population of Arizona is increas- ing very rapidly and will approach 95,- 900 at the coming census, without doubt. A large increase will be appar ent in Yavapai, probably double the popu ation of ten years ago; Maricopa county will more than double her popu- lation of ten years ago, as this city now has fifty per cent more population than the whole county had in 1890; Gila county will produce large in- crease, probably more than four times her last census; Cochise, in the single town of Bisbee, now has nearly tle population of the whole county in 1890, and the town of Pearce nearly as many more; Pima has been making large gains, ss has Mohave county. In fact, every county in the Territory will show an important growth and that growth has almost all been within the past five years. In fact, the Territory has just begun to grow in population, and within the next five years we can reasonably expect Arizona to double her present figure, especially if we should become a state.-[Phoenix Herald.

MAJOR VENABLE ON THE
Il. 4 q.

At public meeting il Baltimore
Major Venable made a short statement
with reference to the Baltimore and Ohio
Reorganization.
The greatest mistake ever made by
this State" said he, was the eXempting
from taxation of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. Recently the road went into
the hands of u receiver and Il plan Of re-
organization was adopted. There were
only two methods by which this could be
accomplished. The first was by obtain
ing the consent of all the bondholders,
and thus avoiding foreclosure, or by
compelling reorganization under Il new
charter. Under the first plan the road
would continue to avoid taxation, as it
could proceed under the original charter.
If, however, any holder had refused to
come in and foreclosure had followed
the State would have been in position to
tax this corporation. Right here the
Governor of the State missed a great OPP
portunity. The company had practically
forced all the smaller holders to come in,
but the State could have held back, and
by refusing, compelled a foreclosure, and
thus been in position to demand taxes.
The loss sustained by surrendering the
securities would have been more than
made up within few years. 1t was It
great mistake
The short and unexpected statement
was received in silence by the audience,
which, Immediately after realizing its
import, broke out into tumultuous APP

The Constitutional amendment in re-
gard to the increase of the salaries of the
judges of Baltimore City which is to be
voted for at the coming election can in no
event cause any additional expenditure
out of the State Treasury. The proposed
amendment was passed by the last Gen
eral Assembly and simply gives to the
authorities of the City of Baltimore power
to hereafter increase the salaries of the
judges in the City if the Mayor and City
Council see fit by ordinance to authorize
it. The reason the residents of the coun-
ties are called on to vote on "A proposition
in which they have no personal or pecu-
MARY interest is, that the salary which
the City of Baltimore pays to her judges
regulated by the State Constitution, and
that instrument cannot be changed or
varied without the proposed amendment
being first submitted to the voters of the
entire State. The press of the City Of
Baltimore seems to be unanimously in
favor of the proposed amendment, and the
Bar of the City desires is. AS it is only
to give power to the local authorities to
regulate in the future the salaries which
they shall pay their judges out of their
own pockets and is merely comforting
larger measure Of home rule upon the
City of Baltimore, all the residents of the
county should vote for the amendment.
There is no question Of party politics
involved.
