Southern DisfranchisemeLt.
colchester democrat" REP.

Rochester Democrat" (Rep.l
The policy of disfranchisement IN the
Southern States was initiated on the
ground that the negro vote was ignorant
and venal 1t was declared that it was
the only way to save civilization in that
section, and that argument has had much
weight in the minds of Northern men, in
Guiding some Republicans. But, as we
have seen, having DISTINGUISHED the black
man on the ground of his ignorance and
alleged venaity, the Democracy in some
OF those States are now proceeding to dis
franchise white Republicans because of
their political opinions. The face uncovers
the hypocrisy Of the reason alleged regard
ing the negro, and affords strong presump.
ton that he has been robbed Of the bal
lot, not to save civilization, but solely in
the interest of the Democratic party.

Relief for Porto Rico.

The necessity for prompt action on
President McKinley's recommendation for
the relief of Porto Rico becomes Jaily
more apparent in the light of official state.
ments from the wo.strlcken island.
Never in its history has Porto Rico bow
ed under such cumulative mass of trouble
as has fallen to her lot within the past two
years. First the occupation Of the Ameri-
cans, which naturally unsettled financial
and commercial conditions that had exist
ed for a century; then the cyclone which
devasted its plantations and ruined its
farmers, great and small, and, lastly, the
failure of Congress 10 afford relief, are the
principal elements in her weight of wo.
General Davis, the military governor of
Porto Rico, has repeatedly and clearly set
forth the appalling conditions, financial
and physical, which environ the people.
He has urged relief, and his latest request,
SIX months anu lJOI6 dilcl blC CyCiOut HAS
wrought, is for authority and money to
put the heaps of $4,000 families to work
for at least three months to prevent con-
tinued distress and famine.
As has been clearly set forth in the des-
patches of our Washington correspondent,
the policy of the Administration and the
efforts of the friends Of Porto Rico in Con-
gress have been held up and threatened
by individuals and interests whose sole
object is the selfish advantages to be
achieved by such action. And in the
meantime ruin without relief faces both
planter and peasant in this territory,
which by all the laws Of humanity and
sovereignty we are bound TO protect and
foster.
