4 PRACTICAL RATHER THAN
A CONSTITUTIONAL CUES.
TON.

The Tarbor0 Southerner makes a
good point when it says the Repuhll-
cans will fail to interest the people in
discussion as to the cOnstitutiOnality.
The people will consider whether they
desire to disfranchise the illiterate ne
groes and will leave to the courts the
settlement of the constitutiOnality OF
the amendment.
The Southerner sums up its argu-
meD' thus:
''Shall the negro cease to be a po-
litical power to do evil?
Those who would have the negro
eliminated will vote for the amend
ment, and those who prefer to stand
cheek by jowl with Coffee" will vote
against them and that is all there is
to the matter. so far as the people are
concerned. The people are not lawyers
nor skilled in questions of constitution
al law. They will therefore not pre-
tend to anticipate the courts. But
they do know what they want, and in
this respect can very intelligently vote
ON the proposed changes in our consti-
tutiOn."-N. & o.

A QUESTION FOR THE SU-
PREME COURT OF THE
UNITED STATES.

We are informed that Republican
politicians are trying to scare the peo-
pie about the amendment by telling
them that ''our Supreme Court
meaning the present Republican Su-
preme Court, will decide the amend
ment unconstitutional. In confirma-
ton of their prediction to this effect.
they cite the frequent instances in
which that court has set aside legisla-
tive enactments.
Let no one be alarmed by these
threats. In the first place, the amend
ment, if ratified by the people, will
not go into practical effect until the
election of 1902. That election will
doubtless be held in November, and at
the same. time the people will elect
three new members of the Supreme
Court, so that this question, if it gets
before our State courts at all, will in
all probability have to be decided nv
the new court.
We do not mean to say that the
nresent Supreme Court would decide
the question against the amendment.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES MADE
TO WHITE MEN ONLY.

The statement has been made and
often repeated, that the Democratic
party in the last campaign promised
no. to disfranchise, or in any way
abridge the right Of the negro to vote.
Pray, to whom did the Democra tic
party make such promise? It Ger.
tainly did not make it to the negro
because it did not ask for negro votes.
On the contrary, it, defied the negro
vote. 1t said to the negro: I'VE do not
expect your vote; we propose to beat
YOU with the votes f. WHITE
MEN" 1t said to him: This il q
white mans country, and white men
must and shall rule it," 1t said To

IN the second place. the point made
against the amendment, is not that it

the Republican party obtains control
OF the State, the negro influence taxes

and then the reign Of terror anu ap-

o. the State was threatened; the law

put in jeopardy. and a reign OF dis
honOr, terror and Outlawry lnauSu-
rated that no good citizen wants to
see repeated.
Heretofore whenever the Republican
party was in power the negroes doml-
mated that party and the negro lnnu-
ence controlled the State in spite OF
the better element Of the party. Cities
and towns of Eastern North Carolina
attest tie truth Of this statement. Tie
perilous days of 1SGS-G9 and 1S96-JS
ought to be a lesson to the people of
this State and should warn them
against allowing such a state Of affairs
again to exist.
The constitutional amendment will
not disfranchise q single white man.
but will eliminate the illiterate negro
vote and thus relieve the State of the
danger of negro domination. With
both political parties under the con-
troll of the people, we would feel
safer.
To the white people of the State the
amendment that is proposed for their
ratification offers an opportunity for
relieving the State of any possibility
of negro domination. Will white men
turn their backs on the State and the
Anglo-Saxon race? We shall see. No
white man can be disfranchised by
the amendment. They have been care
fully guarded. Let them register be-
fore 1908 and they can vote for all
time whether they can read and write
or not.

POST-ELECTlON DEMANDS OF
REPUBLICANS FOR NEGRO
ELIMINATION.

When the election Of 1898 was over,
and the smoke of battle had cleared
away, and negro domination was rap
idly disintegrating under the advent
of the sun of white supremacy, there
went up from the Republican poll
ticians and holders from one end
of North Carolina to the other a cry
of rage against the negro as the cause
of the calamity which had befallen
their party.
Many of them denounced loudly and
persistently his mischiev0us activity
and assertiveness in politics, and de-
clared but for him their party might
have had a long ease of power and
spoils. And while the Democrats were
yet rejoicing over their victory and
deliverance, having not yet taken
thought for the morrow, these men,
who had so recently consorted with
and defended the negro. raised a
mighty cry of Cruelty him! Cruelty
him!! He must be eliminated from
notifies !!!' And they continued to
cry out against the negro, and demand
cd his elimina ton, until the politicians
at the national capital whispered into
tho ears of their leader and representa-
five. Senator Pritchard, the suggestion
that although che negro was of no
use to their party in the South, it
greatly needed him in the North and
West. in many Of which States he
holds the balance of power, and that
the G. o. p. must at least make a
show of caring for him in the South,
that it might continue to use him in
these close States. Gracefully bending
othe exigencies of the political situa-
ton, the thrifty and adjustable Sena-
tor, from his perch at the national cap
ital, sent forth his famous manifesto
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1899-07-27

men who hereafter attempt to ma
nipulat' the negro vote to further
their mean and selfish ambition. and
to degrade their race, will become dali
~ and yearly more and more odious
ia the eyes of self-respecting white
men and women.
Let Senator Pritchard and his Office
holding negrophilists put this in their
pipes and smoke it.
The white people of the State are
seeking and honestly seeking by the
proposed amendment to settle this ir-
ritatinS and troublesome race ques-
ton and remove this ever recurrin g
and fostering sore from the body pol
itic.
Senator Pritchard and his Office
holding crowd say we shall not so set
lie it, because, forsooth. they want the
negro vote to keep them in Office, and
to give them influence in the national
conventions of their party. Well. we
are going to settle it and in this way,
whether the white Republican Office
holders give their consent or not. Tils
is the best way, for all concerned, TO
settle it, and settled it must be one
way or another. If we can't settle vt
this way, we will have to settle It in
way, perhaps, worse for the negro,
for we repeat that settled, and SET
lied FOREVER it MUST be. This
is the decree not only of the white peo-
pie of the State but of the Whole
South, and it is decree as inexorable
as fate itself.
A vote east against the amendment
will be VOTE CAST TO CONTINUE
THE NEGRO AS A VOTER and if
that vote be cast by WHITE MAN,
IT WILL BE THE MOST DISTINCT
I'VE VOTE ANY WHITE MAN IN
NORTH CAROLINA HAS EVER
CAST AGAINST HIS RACE; it will
be a distinctive vote for THE NEGRO,
a distinctive vote against the WHITE
MAN; it will be a declaration
on his part that he thinks
the negro is as good as the
white man; it will be a protest ON his
part against the white mans having
anything that the negro does not have;
it will be a vote for the continuance
of race trouble and conflict and clash,
and finally it will be a vote which can
not possibly help even the negro for
which it is cast, since if he could sue
coed in defeating the purpose of the
white men, as expressed in this amend
ment, the race question Tin the
settlement of which he is as much in
terested as the white NAM will still
remain unsettled, with the fixed and
iYevocable purpose on the part of the
whites, as we have said before, to set
tie it, if not in one way then in anoth-
er, but to settle it and SETTLE IT
FOREVER.

Pritchard's organ. And thank heaven,
it will only come from such sources.
But we will repeat what We have

only by the Democratic voters. but
