for protection against domestic vio-
lence? Does any republican on the 9TH
er hand believe that he would be sus
stained by Congress or justified by the
Supreme Court which passes upon the
constitutionslity of his public acts as
President, if he went outside of the
constitutional limitations to protect
Negroes Or white men IN any state
against domestic violence?
II the President had acted upon the
advice, hints, suggestions, etc, etc. of
the able and learned Negro editors,
some OF whom have grown round
shOuldered because of a superabund
ance:Of editorial wisdom and constr.
tutional lore who made his interference
In the unhappy affairs of the states
which have practically nullified the
constitutional amendments con
dition precedent to their valued CO.
o peration and support in the late CAM
paign, condition similar to that pic
tured by Andrew Jscksonin his inaugu.
raj address, March 4, 1888 wherein he
says: "The destruction of our state
govern ments or the annihilation Of
their control over the local concerns of
the people would lead directly to revo-
luton and anarchy and finally to des-
potism and military domination. In
proportion therefore, as the general
government encroaches upon the
rights Of the states, in the same pro-
portion does it impair its own power"
would have ensued. There is big
enough republican majority in the new
Congress TO enact all the legislation
that may be needed to secure the Ne
gro IN his civil and political rights
throughout the South and the country.
Congress makes the laws, the Supreme
Court construes them and the Presi-
dent by the authority of Congress en-
forces them. Most every school boy
and girl understands this but the
average Negro editorial kicker during
the recent campaign-an thank God
there were not many OF them-ap-
peared to be mentally abfuscsted and
off his editorial base.
am indebted to my honored friend
Judge J. B. Raymond of Altoona, Pa.
for these able CD legal points and in
this way while in New York City re-
Gently I met Judge Raymond and Mr..
George e Bates of the Pennsylvania
Railroad on 9th Ave. The Judge said
he was very glad to see me and insisted
that l accompany him and bis friend

car we were soon comfortably seated
around bountttulIy ladened table in
one of the cOsiesE, cleanest and most
inviting hostelery's managed by Ne
groes in the Greater New York. Here
we found the irrepressible and eloquent
Thomas l.. Jones of Washington, d.
g. attorney at law and spellbinder ex

told he would shake his head and say a
kind word for the other fellow, and
express the opinion that his opponent
would be beaten; that every vote count

would of course understand the signlf.
icance of these remarks and would in
innate that if agreeable to this voter
they would be glad to introduce him to
a gentleman who would very much
like TO see him. In order to make
them anxious he would defer meeting
the aforesaid gent up to within about
half hour Of the time when the polls
| closed, when votes appreciate in value,
especially purehasable votes. On this
particular occasion, Mr.. colored mans
watch played him false and when he
cOndescended to call and be introduced
the polls had been closed 20 minutes.
Haven't you voted yet?" asked
friend OF the candidate on seeing him
looking up at the polling window in a
dazed sort of way. "No, isn't, said
he. Well, the polls are closed and the
republicans have polled the biggest
vote in this district they have poIled
IN ten years. Which was true. The
Republican candidate had won out by
an overwhelming majority and this
lone voter with a system was out S5
which he could have gotten easily for
the manhood he had to sell.
The kickers in the late campaign
pretended to be very sincerely interest
ed in the fate of the race and to see
more danger to It's future in the re cleo
tion of Mckinley than would threaten
it by the election Of Bryan while they
did not tacitly support Bryan's candid

candidacy of Mckinley. The she is

cover the "scuttle" policy in the Kan

The Post has found in the Filipino
plank of that document the equivalent
of an explicit pledge to hold on to the

very little difference between the Re-

this subject, except that the former is
frankly and clearly stated, while the
