PROTESTS FROM TIE SOUTH

Indignation Mt the Disfrnnchisement
PoIicy--A Texans Criticism of His
Party.
new Democratic policy of disfranchise-
ment in the south will be widely dis
owned and rebuked even by southern
Democrats. Letters of protest against
the disfranchisement of the negroes in
North Carolina are appearing every
day in the northern press, signed by
well known southern men, and occa-
sionally even in the southern press. A
long letter, written by Mr.. S. w. Blod-
gett, well known Texas Democrat,
has recently appeared and has attract
ed deserved attention. Mr.. Blodgett
begins by noticing the fact that the
Democratic party this year, in con-
vention assembled, stood squarely on
the Declaration of Independence and
proclaimed its allegiance to the prn.
ciple of equal rights for all He then
regards it as a fact much to be re.
gretted that "the people in certain
states who form n prominent part Of
this same political organization should
themselves be guilty of the most fla
grant injustice to their fellowmen and
fellow citizens in abridging the privi-
lege of voting to the black man or de.
scendant of the African race" thereby
overriding the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the constitution and
violating the fundamental law of the
land. Mr.. Blodgett proceeds;
SIS not the action of North Carolina,
of Louisiana and of other southern
states in DISTINGUISHING negroes uncon
stitutional? Should not the representa-
tion in congress of such states be re-
duced? Should not this penalty be en-
forced for thus striking at and under
taking TO overthrow the fabric of re-
publican institutions in this country?
What becomes of our boasted land of
liberty and equality if those whose
only crime Gf it be 4 crime) is that
they are uneducated and ignorant are
to be deprived of the elective fran
| chise? Does ignorance and stupidity
only pertain to the African race?
! Under articles 13. IA and u of
| the constitution of the United States
no male member of any state, being 81
years of age, can be deprived of the
right of the elective franchise, or have
it in any way abridged, except for
| participation in rebellion or other
| crime. If to be ignorant or illiterate
is to participate in rebellion or is
a crime, is the negro male 21 years of
| age to be the scapegoat for the white
ignoramus? These constitutional pro-
visions are not made to determine So
cial status, but political status. They
are the fundamental principles of a
free republic and not of an empire or
white mans oligarchy. Those who
wish to make the elective franchise a
white mans special privilege are
| guilty of the most damnable imperial

Lincoln the Despot,

The indianapolis Sentinel of Aug. 10
contains these remarks about man
whom many Democrats used to abuse
like pickpocket when he was living
and whom the Democrats of today are
fond of eXtollng and quoting. in their
zeal occasionally forging quotations:
mo more infamous slandcr could he
conceived than the charge that Lincoln
was an imperialist. Every word and
every act of his heroic life stamps the
charge with falsehoOd. He would have
despiscd Imperialism as m-American
and immoral. He would never have
governed people against their con
sent. He would never have snee.ed
away the Declaration of Independence
He would never have formed an al
lance with human slavery. He would
meyer have tolerated Il contract labor
system. He would u,.tcr have attempt
ed to helittle the outrageous steals ur
Cuba. He would never have e.."hans.ed
Amt rcan blood for foreign gold. i.t'
imperialism invoke Lord North, CrC'l
Rhodes and Castlereagh, but. in the
name of common decency, spare the
good name of Abraham Lincoln!"
In the indianapolis Journal of Aug.
10 are some extracts from this same
Sentinel of 1864. We reprint three of
them:
"Have not the people daily evidence
that Abraham Lincoln is assuming the
power-the despotic power-to enable
him to pay his debts and replenish his
overdrawn Golfers, exhausted by eX-
travagance and ambitious strife for
powerW
"More than eighteen hundred years
ago Rome was governed by three men
at the end of that republic One was
Cesar. They were all of noble blood.
And we, too, have our triumvirate--
Lincoln, Stanton, Halleck, but unfortu-
nately neither of them can boast a
very high descent. There succeeded
an emperor who could fiddle when
Rome was burning. We also have our
emperor, Lincoln, who can tell stale
jokes while the land is running red
with the blood of brothers"
SHOULD Mr.. Lincoln be reelected the
revolution will be accomplished This
will be no longer a republic of the
United States, but a consolidated EN-.
pire. Every safeguard must sooner OF
later give way The limitations of the
executive power will not be in the con.
stitution, but in the pleasure Of the
president. We implore patriotic and
intelligent men to pause and reflect and

In 1864 The Sentinel and the other
Hunker Democrats accused Lincoln
just as the Bryanites are accusing Nc
Kinley now. The Democrats were yell
ing republic or empire" in 1864 just
as they are yelling now. They were as
absurd then as they are now. Theil
cries of "despotisin" and "imperialism'
and "militarisn" will seem as lidicu
lous and impossible in 1896 as theii

CECIL RHODES LOYALTY.
Will Stand by England So Long.as 1t
Financially Benefits Him.

London, March 6-The Morning
Leader says:
of one thing we may be certain,
Cecil Rhodes, who knows South Africa,
has made up his mind that the annexa-
ton of the republics will not bring the
lasting peace which our imperialists
prophesy. Mr. Rhodes is so sure this
will not happen that he is prepared to
set to work at once on the Notifications
of Kimberley.
I'VE incline to think that Mr.. Rhodes
is preparing for a possible armed con-
fiict with the imperial faction which he
fought at the polls and in parliament
until 1895. He is preparing to resist
any attempt on our part to interfere
actively in South African affairs, either
in the interests of the Dutch elector
whose vote is already threatened, or Of
the Kaffir laborer, who seems doomed
to virtual slavery.
This is not. indeed, an extravagant
hypothesis Rhodes has consistently
maintained a policy of Africa for the
Afrikander' and on his lips the latter
word is synonymous with the financier.
He will be loyal to the English flag just
so long as it continues to be valuable

TO STUDY Law AT II.
Newest Departure in the Busy Career
of Mrs. c. v. Waite.

Detroit March 6.-Having lived an
active life for more than half a century,
in which time she was a teacher, far
mer, author, real estate dealer. con-
tractor and lecturer, Mrs. Catherine V.
Waite, II years old, will now enter the
legal profession.
She owns 1000 horses, 1000 acres of
land and big block of Chicago real
estate, but seels that she should do
something to earn a living.
She made $4,000 in building enter
prises in Chicago in 1893 Most of her
life has been spent in the west, in Ore
gon, Utah, Idaho and wyoming. Her
husband was at one time a judge in
Idaho.
Her business is managed by a son,
SO that she feels free to take up the
law-not as a diversion, but, as she
says, "to earn a living Her husband
will be taken into partnership and the
firm will be established in Denver. She
is going to Colorado because there a
woman is eligible to hold office, and
the atmosphere is made for both man
and woman
Il am not going to run for congress,
but l am going to have a voice in Gre
ating the government that taxes my
property" she said.
Mrs. Waite is a well preserved wo-
man. Her voice is vibrant and her eye
is bright. Few gray hairs have appear
ed at her temples, and her figure is as
plump and rounded as girls.
