Nv AN sINe toN INV IaTI'
Just now there seems 10 be much
division and hsir-pulling among the
Democratic organs on the negro
question. Before the election they
all joined in one long continual mo
notonous shrek, that unless the Dem
ocratic party was put in power, one
negro would dominate two white
men, Since the election and adop-
ton OF the amendment, some Of these
Democratic organs deslaro that they
are tired OF the negro question, that
they had promised the people that
they would hush this senselees and
disg listing cry of negro domina-
ton, as soon az the amendment was
adopted. While another part OF the
d. mocrstic organs have begun to
denounee their brethren for not con
tin uing the negro bowl, saying it is
foolish 10 stop as il il the only issue
on which thew can win.
THE CAUCASIAN has little interest
in this dog fghr. Indeed 1t is diffi.
cult 10 decide which faction OF these
negro bowlers is the more incOnsis
tent. While il is q fact that they all
promised that the amer dment would
settle the negro question, and hat If
il were adopted they would not keep
this e:y So a political football any
longer, yet no one with a memory an
inch long. and thimble full OF
brains, ever supposed that they
meant what they said. The very fact
that they promised to give the negro
issue long rest. was one good rea
son to believe that they did not in
tend to do it.

Democrats have been arguing
that a candidate for Office could not
boast OF any excellence above the
voters who elected him. We sup.
pose that is why our Democratic
friends are not boas.ing Of their re-
cent so-called victory, since they
carried every negro county and owe
their big majorities to the negro
counties, while all the white coun-
ties increased their vote against
them. Then when men get a thing
by the "slight Of hand" they never
boast OF 1t, until years afterwards

0IVorcsd wife Petitions That
Husband Be Adjudged In..
Contemplate Decision Yet

Chief Justice stiness and Justices TIL
linshast and rouElas heard this morning
the petition OF Annie Halliday THAI her
former husband. Robert Halliday be ad-
judged In contempt OF court. siss
Mrs. Halliday was divorced from. her
husband on December ssth. 1895. and the
decree gave the custody OF their child to
hrr. Halliday.
r. i. Owen. counsel for Mrs. Halliday,
on January (. 1900. secured an order OF
the court, directing Mr.. Halliday to pay
S3 week for the support of his child. In
April last Mrs. Halliday signed a paper
which she claims she did not read.
She claimed her husband said he want
ed to be- released from paying Mr.. Bren-
nan, and that her husband promised on
his word OF honor TO support the child.
The paper purported TO be a release of
Mr.. Halliday from any amount due.
The question, which had been certified
to tho full court by Judge Tilifnghast,
was whether the paper signed was a suf-
flcient excuse for Mr.. Hallidays not obey
Ing the order OF the court.
Mr.. Halliday claimed that Mrs. Halliday
first suggested the signing OF a paper and
she saw him three or more times about Il.
He claimed. that his wife did not want
him to support the child.
Gen. Brennan was a witness for Mr..
Halliday. and said Mrs. Halliday was
very anxious 10 sign the order.
Witness intimated that the order was
signed on account OF Mrs. Halliday's hav-
Ing very strong desire TO draw the cur
tain over certain acts of her own. and
that Mr.. HalliSay desired to take and
educate his child.
No decision was. announced in the case,
but rnpmbers OF the csiirt expressed doubt
Of the right OF Mrs. Halliday to release
her husband upon an order made for the
benent OF the child solely.

this commission should be chosen or ap-
pointed. i do not think that II should be
by the governor. a. II would be a pure
ly local commission.
ELECTION BY THE PEOPLE.
Generally speaking, personally think
appointment by the mayor would be safe,
for believe any man qualified to be
mayer for more than one year would do
the right thing. There might, however,
be objection to this course and per-
haps an election by the people would be
preferable.
II believe that the FIVE men should be
so elected that the term OF one OF them,
and only one of them, would expire every
year, the fun term OF service being for
five years. In this way there would be
but one member OF the commission 10 be
nominated in caucus each year, and. OF
course, care would be taken to select
the best. and only the best man.
by adopting such a policy am con-
vinced that the city of Providence would
be decided gamer. There is no doubt
that the schools would be conducted upon
thoroughly business basis. there would
be great saving OF money to the city
treasury, and both pupils and teachers
would be better off.'
HE FAvoRs ONLY THREE.
Mr.. James NJ. Scott. enc OF the best
known business men OF this city, has
some pronounced views upon the aues-
ton OF proposedS changes in tho school
committee, and he says that he believes
that such change cannot come too quick
ly. M
Mr.. Scott said today, IT have long
been of the opinion that our school COM
mittee Is altogether too large and unnec-
essarys 4 believe the public schools
should be managed by a commission of
three members, for / deem that number is
enough.
II would have this commission COM
posed OF two business men and one pro-
fessional man. and n this can be done
more satisfactory results will be obtained
and the city VIII save a large sum OF
money"
Mr.. Scott said that he had not given
any special thought as to how the com
mission should be appointed or elected,
but he believed that was a question that
could be easily settled.
VIEWS OF GEN. AMEs.
Gen. william Ames. who has always
taken great interest in oil public ques-
tions, was seen today, ard said that
while he had not devoted great deal of
time to the consideration OF the school
committee question, he did believe that
change should be made.
He said that, in his opinion. a commits
sion OF a few men, and he thought Ave
would do. could transact the business OF
the public schools In a far more satisfac-
tory manner that the present unnecessari-
" large school committee could.
''Of course" he said, "only men quail
flied to discuss educational matters
should be selected. and think by taking
the men at large this could be accom-
plished. as It would divorce their election
from ward politics"
