A Widely known and Highly Esteem

A Widely known and Highly Esteem
ed Native of Washington.
Mr.. Charles E. Gait, the eldest son of the
late NJ. w. Calf, died shortly after IL
o'clock this morning at his residence, No.
IT'S 21st street Mr.. Gait had been a con-
firmed invalid for the past three or four
years, and his death has been expected
during the past few days. He was born in
this city. and after receiving preparatory
education at Emerson Institute, finished
with honor at the University of Virginia.
Upon leaving the university he became a
partner in the old firm of Gait & Bro. con-
tinuing as such until 1887, when he went to
California.
Returning in 1888. he became a partner
of the firm of Davis & Gait, manufacturing
silversmiths Of Philadelphia and was sole
owner of that business at the time Of his
death. having bought out the interest of
Mr.. Davis several years ago. He was in
his forty-eighth year. and was. before his
illness, one of the most widely-known and
ton was amiable and he was generous in
large but quiet charity that he dispensed
with liberal hand. Mr.. Gait was unmar-
ried.
His immediate family who survives him
comprises his brothers. Mr.. Walter A. Gait
and Mr. Norman Gait Of this city. Mr.. Ster-
ling Gait, who is now retired and living on
his country place at Greencastle, Pa, and
his sister. Mrs. Reginald Fendall of this
city.
The establishment Of Gait & Bro. was
closed Immediately upon receipt of the sad
news. The arrangements for the funeral
have not been made.

Disfranch isinE the Negro.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
While there are many grave questions to
be considered by the President while writ
ing his letter Of acceptance, none is perhaps
more important among those that relate to
the internal well-being Of the country, its
peace and good order. than the present I'M
favorable situation of the colored people.
1t is a fact beyond dispute that the colored
people are very anxious to know the true
feeling Of the administration toward the
Acknowledgement Of the masses Of colored
voters In North Carolina and Louisiana.
The 14th and 18th amendments to the Con-
stitution of the United States conferred
upon the colored people the rights Of citi-
zenship and suffrage. or these amendments
placed them exactly upon the same footing
in respect to suffrage as all other citizens
The states Of North Carolina and Louis
lana have placed large number of their
legally qualified voters in exactly the situa-
ton they occupied before the passage OF
the 14th and 18th amendments.
The last named amendments prohibit dis
Reimbursement because of race, etc. The
two states mentioned have disfranchised on
this prohibited basis alone.
1t is true that the platform which
president Mckinley was renominated makes
mention of the violation of these amend
ments. but unfortunately commits the re-
publican party to no particular policy in re-
spect to these wrongs.
The colored people expect the enunciation
of more definite policy. The disfranchiS-
ing provisions Of the states of North Caro-
lima and Louisiana are positively and point
eddy In violation Of the national Constitu-
ton.
The question is, VIII the colored people
have the moral support of the republican
party and their assistance in good faith in
their struggles for this dearest right which
was conferred upon them by the republican
party OF the past, or will the party Iand
idly by and suffer the work of the founders
of the party to be set at naught?
1t Is well-known fact that the only rea-
son the democrats have for DISTINGUISHING
the colored people Is because the colored
voters always vote against them in mat
tiers state and national in favor Of their
principal opponents, the republicans
feel 1t my duty as lifelong loyal re-
publican, and one who has investigated the
reasonable complaints of the colored peo-
pie, to call attention to the importance of
the situation, and 1 hope that the PresI-
dent will state in his letter of acceptance
what the policy of the party will be on
this important question.
believe that his declaration with respect
to these questions in favor of the enact
ment OF such laws as would protect and re-
store them to citizenship would cause them
and their leaders who may have left the
ranks Of the republican party to return and
manifest the same interest expressed by
the immortal Douglas. when he said 1.-The
republican party Is the ship. all else ia the
sea. 7. H. QUALLS

as DESTROYS as himself to have order main
tanned, and that in the class Of cases cited
by him every effort has and Is being made
to secure 1t. But wrote Mr.. mcfarland.
the judges OF the Police Court, and not
the Commissioners. nor the major OF police,
