Rev. DR.. D. A. Long.
wilmington MesSenger.) }

Rev. DR.. D. A. Long, who has re-
sided in Ohio for many years, and
was president of Antioch College, has
returned to North Carolina to live
remainder of his days. Prof Samuel
l.. Adams. of Elon College, in a com
munication to the Charlotte Observer.
writes this:
During his residence in that State
he came to North Carolina on several
occasions, his most notable visit being
in May. 1896, when he made a speech
in behalf of Mckinley before that
black-and-tan aggregation in Raleigh,
which gave us Russell and the train OF
evils that followed. If you will refer
to your files about that time, the criti-
cisms Of his speech will be found very
interesting reading-particulary that
| of Marion Butler, who was harsher in
what he said of Mr.. Long and his mis-
sion to North Carolina in the interest
of Mckinley than any one else. 1t is
not surprising that Mr.. Long should
| oppose the amendment. for the col.
lege over which he presided in the
State of Ohio for many years admits
young negro men and women along
with white people,"

SUFFRAGE IN HAWAII.

The United States Senate is in
favor of drawing pretty tight suf-
frage line on the people of Hawaii.
According to the Chicago Tribune's
Washington correspondent the Sen
ate committee on territories is tear
ing the Hit bill all to pieces, land
this is particularly true of the fea-
lures relating to the franchise. If
the House bill should become a law
in its present shape" says the cor
respondent, ''practically all the male
inhabitants of Hawaii would be en-
titled to vote, and their irrcsponsi-
BILE and poverty-stricken inhabitants
would control"
OF course the Republican Senate is
profoundly impressed with the duty
of preventing the ''irresponsible and
poverty stricken population of Ha-
waii from having any say in the
government, though some of the men,
bers of that Republican Senate are
just as much impressed with the
desirabilitv of having the irresponsi-
bic, ignorant and illiterate negroes of
the South control the Southern States.
Irresponsibility, of course, should
debar one from having voice in
government. But when did poverty
become proper har to the franchise?
In North Carolina we propose to dis
franchise irresponsibility, but not
poverty. Yet the political jackals
who are in favor of withholding the
franchise from both the irresponsible
and poverty-stricken of Hawaii are
raising a great noise because the
, white people of North Carolina insist
that their State shall no longer be
endangered by irresponsibles with
votes in their hands. According TO
some Republican Senator'S the white
people of North Carolina are of much
less consequence than the handful OF
irresponsible" rich men who have
stolen Hawaii from the natives-Ashe,
vile Citizen.

KEEP THE RACES SEPARATE.
How Northern Settlers Solve The
Negro Problem.
Wilmington Starr

A Southern Pines correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer tells how the
people Of that community solved the
negro problem for themselves. He
says:
about a year and a half ago, soon
after my first visit to this place, an
interview with me appeared in the
Washington Post, in which | con-
trasted the marvellous quietness of
Southern Pines with Wilmington and
other parts of the State where nogro
domination had wrought havoc with
the lives and liberties of white citi-
zens and their families.
The contrast was explained by the
fact that Northern people, who form
at least four-tifths OF our population,
had taken the bull by the horns and
settled the negro question by exclud-
ing them from the town and town af-
fairs. There are but three or four ne
gro voters within the town limits,
| while Just outside there are several
| hundred who work here and then re-
turn to their homes. In consequence
there is probably no town in the South
that can compare with this place for
good order and sobriety. An arrest
for any cause is the greatest rarity
and a lady without escort may walk
the streets at night in perfect safety
| Northern settlers, when they are
numerous enough to control com
munity affairs, make short work o
this problem by keeping the negroes
out of the community limits, which
they can easily do by refusing to sci
or lease them land or build houses to
rent to them.
In the colony of Fitzgerald, in
Georgia, there are very few negroes
and not one allowed to live in the
city of Fitzgerald. The founders o
this colony and the builders of thi:
city are all Western people, and man,
of them old Union soldiers, But they
met and solved the race problem by
keeping the races separate and draw
ing, not only the color line, but thu
land line on the negro.
Hes from the wild and WOOL,
West, isn't he?" s.Oh, no! l believe
he halls from the cottony South"

CRONJE AND HIS MEN.
BY CHARLES N. LURE.

When the long roll-call is sounded,
On the camping ground Of Fame,
And each hero of the ages
Answers "Present!' to his name,
Mid the first of all the answers,
That shall ring out clearest then
Will be heard the steadfast voices
OF brave Cronje and his men.
When they felt the British lion
Drawing nearer to his prey,
And they heard his grOwl of thunder
Growing deeper day by day,
They still fought with hearts undaunted
Till all hope of aid had fled,
Till they saw their friends and brothers
Fen their women, mid the dead.
They are victors, though defeated,
They have to the nations shown
II ow the men of veldt and mountain
Can, though dying, hold their own,
Let their names be blaZOned proudly
On Times honOr-roll, and, when
Men shall seek the names of heroes,

A QUESTION FOR THE SUPREME
COURT OF THE UNITED STATES.

We are informed that Republican
politicians are trying to scare the peo-
pie about the amendment by telling
them that ''our Supreme Court"
meaning the present Republican Su-
preme Court, will decide the amend
ment unconstitutional. In confrma
ton of their prediction they cite
instances in which that court has set
aside Legislative enactments.
Let no one be alarmed by these
threats. In the first place, the amend
ment, if ratified by the people, will
not 90 into practical effect until the
election of 1902. That election will
doubles be held in November, and
at the same time the people will elect
three new members of the Supreme
Court, so that this question, if it gets
before our State courts at all, will in
all probability have to be decided by
the new court.
We do not mean to say that the
present Supreme Court would decide
the question against the amendment,
Or contrary to law, if it could come
before it; we merely state the facts as
to the earliest time the amendment
can be applied, and that it could not
sooner become the subject of investi-
cation by the courts, and the fact
that the people will, at the same cleo
tion that it goes into practical effect,
elect new court.-Carolinian.

AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM.

The most important matter demand
ing consideration, and the one in
which | was most interested, was how
to secure to North Carolina for the
coming years freedom from negro
rule and the elimination of the negro
from politics, and thereby securing
to North Carolina the honest, pure
and business-like administration of
county, town and city government
that the Democratic party has ever
given and the white people can al
ways be trusted to give.
This could be done only by making
some change in our Constitution upon
the suffrage question. Realizing the
Importance of this matter of the most
thorough consideration, committee
on Constitutional amendments was
appointed in both branches of the
Legislature. and it became the duties
OF these committees to suggest the
remedy. Having been a member Of
| the House committee | am familiar
with the opinions of the members on
the subject and am conversant with
| the history of the work resulting in
the submission to the people Of the
proposed amendment which will be
voted on in August. 19O0.--E. j. JUS

DEAR SIR:-In answer to your

national issues | am staunch Repub-
lican. and when | came to North Car
oiina from Wyoming three years ago,
it was with the sympathy of North
ern man in regard TO the negro, but
three years of experience with them
is enough for me, and | think that the
people of the Old North State have
been too lenient with them, and you
will find me one Of the most ardent
supporters of the amendment. |
also find that the Northern Republi-
cans have the same element to con-
tend with that the Southern Demo-
Gratis have. viz. an illiteratc. unedu-
Gated class of people. White the
Northern class is susceptible to i'm
provement. the negro race is not;
therefore. | am with you, body and
soul, on the question of white supre-
macy.

THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT NOT
INTENDEDT TO WORK DErRIMENT
TO THE INTEREST OF THE IN
COMPETENT CITIZEN.

COMPETENT CITIZEN.
The assumption that the proposed
Constitutional amendment is intend
ed or calculated to work detriment to
the interests of the incompetent citi-
zen, between the time of it's ratitica-
ton and the year 1908, is wholly
false. That class of citizens have
never had SO true and serviceable a
friend as their white neighbors, and
these white neighbors are no less
their friends than they have been
through all the past. The white
mans theory has been to prepare his
incompetent neighbor for citizenship
by means Of the school house. the in
spirations of religion, the equitable
administration of law, and by the
strong induction of personal kind
ness. But these means, so powerful
with other races, have failed to bring
about the desired results. Another
remedy must be tried, not as substi-
tuting but as supplementing these
which are still in use. This remedy
may njure the sentiment, but will
| not in ure the interests Of this expert
| mental citizen. His interests are one
with those of the Anglo-Saxon citi-
zen who has governed the country
from its foundation. He is incapable
if left to himself, of directing or pre-
serving these interests. The pro.
posed amendment gives to the An glo.
Saxon the opportunity and response
bility of caring for these interests
without hindrance until a sufficien,
time shall have elapsed for the in.
competent citizen to prepare himself
for the exercises of the franchise or
the condition Of an intelligent inter
est in the welfare of the State anc
himself as citizen thereof.-R. D
