The farmer doesn't have to solicit
the patronage OF anyone. He doesn't
have to enter into competitions and
strive with his neighbor like a mer-
chant: he doesn't have to wrangle and
warp the truth for a living like others;
he doesn't have to depend on don atoms
reluctantly doled out, like minister's;
in short, he can be the most indepen-
dent man on Gods green earth If he
manages his affairs in business like
manner. He has more time and OBJ
portunities for improving his nllud. he
has less allurments for corrupting his
morals. and his occupation is conduc-
i've to the development of his physical
powers: he be on intimate terms with
his own faulty, at peace with the
world and he can worship dsod under
his own grape vine and apple tree.

Blacks To Lose Their Votes.

noses by a constitutional amendment
TO deprive the mass of the colOred
voters OF the ballot. The plan is to
disfranchlse, as in South Carolina,
Louisiana, Mississippi and North Cal-
DINA, all colored men who cannot read
or write, while leaving unimpaired lie
right OF all illiterate whites to the bal
lot. There are many Of these whites
in the state, the percentage of Hitter
acy among them over ten years OF age
being nearly % per cent. ten years ago
Among the blacks the percentage of
illiteracy is considerably higher, as
might be expected.
The amendment is not proposed for
the purpose of taking from the negro
right which he has held aud exer
cised heretofore. The blacks have
done little voting tor many years. In
1890 there were 324 900 adult males in
the state, of whom 10000 were blacks.
The total vote cast in 1896 was but
1874, 800. 1t is clearly evident, there
fore, the negro vote was suppressed,
although it has been the practice IN
some districts to put them down as
voting for Democratic congressman in
order to make out a majority against
Republican or Populist opponents.
Within few years there's no doubt
that nearly all of the Southern states
with large colored populations will
have effected complete negro .disfran-
chisement. Georgia will probably fol-
low Alabama, and there is a good deal
of talk in Virginia of adopting means
for getting rid of the colored vote in
that state. Then the white voters of
these states will exercise an excessive
and unjust amount Of political power.
Each state has large colored popula-
ton which gives it congressional rep
resentatives and presidential electors,
but which Is unable to participate in
the election OF either. In this respect
the states would fare better than they
did before he abolition Of slavery.
when they had representation for their
slaves only on the three .fifths basis.
The experience of the past has
shown that the voting privilege cannot
be secured for the negro IN the cotton
states. A constitutional amendment
says that their right to the franchise
shall not be abridged, but the whites
of the South win not have negro suff-
rage, constitution or no constitution.
But when it becomes clearly apparent
that these whites can determine ma
| tional elections and the political COM
plexioD Of the lower house of congress,
because Of excessive political power
given their states on account Of the
colored population which is not per-
mitted to vote, then there will be de-
manf for curtailing that excessive
power. 1t will not be an unjust de-
.nia,.l, and it will lie within the power
OF congress to enforce it, which is more
than can be said of the demand that
the negro be given the ballot.

Gen M'Arthur'S Report.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Major Gen
eral Macarthur commanding the
army in the Philippines and military
governor of the islands since May 5.
1900, has submitted his report to- the
war department. A considerable pOr-
ton of the report relates to events
which took place previous to the date
when he assumed command, and he
publishes some of the correspondence
and proclamation of the Filipinos OBJ
tanned before that time. He refers to
the change in Aguinaldo's plans in
abandoning his army organization and
starting guerilla warfare.
The conditions of the country have
afforded advantage for such policy
he says, rs they have enabled the in
surgents to appear and disappear at
their convenience. At one time they
are soldiers and Immediately after are
within the lines in the attitude of
peacable natives. A widely scattered
forma ton of Filipinos quickly followed
the guerilla warfare which led to a
spending dissemination ofAmeri-
can troops, there being 537 stations in
the archipelago November l, 1900, and
433 stations September |, 1900.
This resulted in large number of
minor affairs, many of viii CHI did not
assume the dignity of regular COM
bat, though the casualties between the
dates stated were 268 Americans killed
75O wounded and So captured, the
Filipino losses during the same time
being 1927 killed, 694 wounded and
1854 captured.
General Macarthur says the extern
sive distribution of troops has strained
the soldiers of the army to the full
limit Of endurance.
He says the apparent desultory work
has demanded more OF discipline and
AS much OF valor as was required dur
ing the period of regular operations
against concentrated field forces in.

| General Macarthur speaks in the
highest terms of the service rendered
by the troops amid all labors and hard
ships.

Arthur, "are not warlike or ferocion,

In addition to the above mentioned
tribes which have been invited to at
tend the potlatch the Stick Indians
from the interior, are also invited to
be present. This is also notable in
cident, for until within the past few
years this tribe was in sort Of semi

Placed on Record.

The following communicated article
appeared in. the Tribune last week, and
voices the sentiments of Mr. Herbert
McReavy, and while the campaign is
over, it is worthy of reproduction for
future reference: & ee
"If the campaign just closed has
demonstrated anything it has proven
conclusively that Mr.. Gunderson has
been repudiated by the fishing indus
try of Mason county. The fishing
interests of the county are almost en-
tirely on Hoods Canal, and from that
section Mr.. O'Neilps majority amounts
to thirty-six.
at seems that the farming and lum-
bering sections were possessed with
the idea that the fishermen wen: vital.
ly interested in the election OF Mr.
Gunderson, who has always clai..ed to
be their champion, when in fact they
have repudiated him, and have done
so with emphasis. considering the re-
| suit of two years ago. s.
"The result Of the election has been
a surprise, but to none more than 10
those who have endorsed Mr.. GUnder-
son."
The people of Mason County were
given to understand, during the cam
paign, by the democratic party and its
representatives, that they were agains.
the fishtraps and not taking issue
with Mr.. Gunderson on that proposit-
ion. We never believed in their SINGER
ity, and now the "clOven hoof" is
shown. Mr. Gunderson was and still
is the champion of the fislerman's
rights, and the vote of Hoods Canal
demonstrates that this class believes
in him. He received large majority
on the Canal, outside OF Union City
and the Indian vote on the Skokomish
reservation, which represents, not re-
pudiation as the writer has put it, but
manipulation" and will very likely
have little influence in Mr.. GundersOn s
future course.

there has been different price paid
for fish and adifferent price for labor
at nearly every plant. The result of
this has heen that in many instance
some OF the canneries have been short
OF help, others short of fish and many
matters have been at variance. In
the event of either of the plans being
adopted and the scheme being carried
through to successful issue then
these matters will be paramount and
be regulated SO that all firms will be
treated alike.-Ledger.

IT'S a bryan sweep" so we read in
a democratic paper the day before
election. Yes, it's Bryan's weep all
right enough, which fact was evident
to most other people before election.
1t is quite evident that the Demo-
cratic national committee was paying
no attention to their own figures,
when they were claiming certain states
for Bryan, which went as high as 100,
QUO the other way. 1t is also plain
now to all, that the figures given out
by the Republican national committee
wtr, fair and conservative It is we to
bear this in mind next time, and be
prepared to discount democratic state
mentS.
