ANOTHER NEGRO PROBLEM.

The negro question has long since pass

forts which are being made in the pre-
vailings campaign. to make of 1t political
issue is one which is utterly unworthy of
anything approaching an honest effort
to convince the people on the great issues
which are now~before them.
The negro OF the South is having much
done on his behalf. The restrictions which
are being placed on his access TO the bal
lot are not aimed at his prosperity or
well-being. They are purely the product
Of the unwillingness OF the White popu-
ation of the section to give their negro
fellow citizens the power to dominate In
political concerns, as their numerical
strength would enable them to do. act
ing either under the inspiration Of I'M
scrunulous whites or under the leader
ship Of their own race. IT does not imply
that the white people of The South are
not interested profoundly in the eleva-
tien of the negro in the scale OF social.

along that the conditions and environ

he is putting his freedom where the res

A recent compilation of statistics con-

record for the years 1872, 1880, and fol,

the ratio of negro arrests to the entire
negro population with the ratio of all
arrests black and white to the entire pop-
