THE NBw MOVEMENT.

1T is now plainly evident that the
talk about q constitutional convention
and the creating of q new instrument,
which shall disfrsnchise the Negro is
but cloak to hide from view q more
far-reaching purpose on the part Of
certain political leaders in Virgins.
While the suffrage will be res tricted
by constitutional enactment, hundreds
of office-holdipg white men who hold
sst jobs will find themselves seeking
employment elsewhere, the msment
the present document is laid aside. It
is estimated that $50, 900 per year can
be saved to the commonwealth.
The Legislature of Virginis increased
the expenses of the state government
over $50 600. It becomes evident that
the wealthy classes are being called
upon to pay these bills, and SO hun
dreds OF white men who are not oppos-
ed to Negro suffrage in itself are using
the weapons against it as q deceptive
method to get ct the white men OF
Virginia VINO are responsible for this
condition of affairs.
1t is evident that the humble classes
OF white men, whose prejadices have
been aroused will be placed in the
same boat with the humber classes OF
Negroes and their bark hoated TO de-
struction so far as their suffrage rights
are concerned.
II is indeed strange that their lead
ere do not see this. For our part, we
are opposed to the constitutional con-
vention because we dislike deceit, and
because any attempt to trifie with the
ballot in order to disfranehise any par.
ticular race is in direct yiolstion OF
the federal constitution.

STILL AGAINST Us.

The Richmond, Va, TIMRs which
now never loses an opportunity to Say
q mean word for the colored citizen,
belittling his efforts and misrepresent-
ing his aspirations, under the caption
of ''The North and the Negro" cites
an abstract from the address of that
prince of villtiers, DR.. PAUL b. BARRIN-
GER of the University of Virginia and
says that these ustersnces are approved
by the Medical Board OF New York.
IL affirms that the second genera
ton OF Negroes are infinitely worse
shan the first. This declaration ap-
plies TO the white man rs we'll.
1t talks about the morals of the Ne
gro, oblivious of the fact that they are
but q duplicate OF the morals of the
white man.
The only difference is that the white
man in this country has become past
master in the art Of deception. He
paints vice, virtue, and drunkenness, 60
briefly.
The great trouble which the upright
celored men are having is due wholly
and solely to the bad examples set by
some of the white folks.
Even their gambling dens and whis-
key resorts are backed by white men
who draw the shekles ct the expense
of the best blood of the race.
We advise our people to initiate the
virtues of the white people and ignore
their vices. This will bring prosperity
and will lift US in the scale of human
civilization.

Philadelphia, May 2.-The demands
Of the Allied Building Trades, COM
posed Of nearly all the building trade
unions in this city, for an eight hour
workday with increased pay, were put
in force yesterday, and as a result 5000
men are on strike. Men in several
trades not affiliated with the Allied
Building Trades also quit work yes
terday, but many OF these returned
to their work during the day, the
differences between them and the
masters having been adjusted.
Signatures of employers to agree
ments are being constantly received,
according to the labor leaders, and it
is their opinion that many OF the
trades belonging to the league will
have all their men working within a
week or ten days. The fact that so
few workmen were compelled to strike
Is considered by the leaders as favor
able to the cause of the workmen.
The Brotherhood OF Carpenters and
Joiners. with strength of 1000 men,
which is not affiliated with the Allied
Trades League, has received the sig
natures OF $50 individual masters to
the demands of the men.
In many cases the masters In GER
tain trades have signified their willing
ness to accept the mems demands, but
have steadily refused to recognize the
unions. Without full recognition of
the organization there can be no set

Chicago, May 2.-Lay delegates to
the Methodist general conference, reg
ulars and provisional, put their desire
for an equal voice in the government
OF the church into a set of resolutions
at the Auditorium last night and pre-
sented them at the opening session
today. Equal representation right
away is what the laymen ask. They
recite the fact that a straw ballot OF
the Methodist clergy developed an
overwhelming sentiment to admit them
to the church councils on an equal
footing, and announce that 141 provis-
tonal delegates were elected in the be-
lief that the conference would seat
them.
