n1sFrANCHlsF THE NEGRO


Rev. DR.. J.. G. Broughton, a Southern
preacher. has been telling the New Yo~,
people some interesting things about the
negro. In a recent discourse he said that
the solution Of the negro problem was
to be found I'm the repeal of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments Of the Federal
Constitution, or words TO that effect
| That politics was n the bottom Of the
negro trouble. and that If the negro should
be deprived of his right to vote until be
should be equalIhed from an educational
and moral standpoint to exercise the
privilege Of franchise. race antagonism
would soon be extinguished
The Philadelphia Times reviews Dr.
Brouehtou's sermon I'm extenso. and while
fl does not absolutely commit itself 70
HIS proposition, it does not take issue
with him. and concludes its article with
this significant paragraph
The people Of the North since the war,
| have been content TO let the colored peo-
pie of the South work out their own SAL
walton. but ii looks as if the time has
settlement Of the problem.
The Times has long since made up
it's mind on this question and has not
hosltated TO say that those clauses Of
tho Federal Constitution which confer
the right of suffrage upon the negro
should De forthwith repealed. We say
! this not in any spirit of enmity towards
the negro. but in the interest Of peace
and law and good government, and in
the interest Of both races.
From the time that the ballot was
put into the hands of the negro until now
NE has been a tool I'm the hands of de-
signing politicians and has given album
dant proof that De is not qualified to
vote Moreover this right of suffrage has
put false notions into his head anG
| has been the primary cause Of the clash
| between the races. If the negro should
be disfranchised DE would Dee better
citizen ne would turn hls attention away
from politics, which has never done
J him any good. but always evil to better
things. he would take altogether a dlt-
ferent view of life. and if the hope were
! held ont TO him. as should be done that
/ ne would be admitted into the enjoyment
OF an the rights of citizenship as soon as
he should qualify himself this would
be a stimulus 10 every black man who
had the ambition TO better his condition.
The objection IS raised that this would
reduce the South's representation in Con-
gress. BE 1t so. The South would be so
much better Off with the negro eliminated
from politics. that it could well afford
to make the sacrifice Of reduced repre-
sentation.
The people Of the North are fast op,iing
their ewes 20 the true condition The Re
publican party would DO quite wilin-
to rid itself Of the incubus Of the nc=ro
vote, and we believe that If the Southern
states should with one accord petition
for the repeal Of the fourteenth and NJ
teenth amendments OF the Federal Con
slitutlon. their petition would be ans
wered.
