= CANDID ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

There are some candid, intelligent
men in the north who in 1900 are able
to see how unwise, how unjust. how
absurd was the action of the north
in clothing the then lately liberated
negro slaves with the power and re-
Sponsibilities of the elective franchise.
Although seen now and understood by
some few, the north in its hatred OF
the south, and in the indulgence of its
sindictive and cruel power at the time
visited an unmingled curse upon this
country, particularly upon the south.
but the north has not escaped alto
gether. The New York Evening Post
is one of the %cleanest, ablest and most
scholarly newspapers in the northland,
1t has not been friendly to the southern
whites in the past. Lately it published
an article from a northern gentleman
of standing. 1t gives a concession to
the southern side of the negro ques-
ton in these words: I'm many respects
the south has shown to the negro more
kindly consideration than the north. In
the south he has had a good chance
to earn his living, and he has been the
recipient of much personal kindness
as the result of the old domestic rela-
ton of slavery. In the north these ia
vors have been denied and his lot
among us has been indeed hard" Mr..
Ogden quotes general Armstrong; re-
marks that reconstruction measures
We're a bridge of wood over a river
of fire" He continues how tardy we
were in giving our confidence to the
loyalty of the south. We only had the
right to demand tina the south should
honestly accept the decisions of the
war. The court of last resort to which
it had itself appealed. What we did
require was that the men of the south
should come back as repentant rebels
and with ample confessions receive
from the north forgiveness and abso-
luton. The intelligent south under
stands many phases of the negro ques-
ton of which the north knew nothing
and has been slow to learn. In our
self-sufficiency we Numbered much,
and the plumbers were great in pro-
portion to our own sincerity and de-
votion, and all this for the negro of the
south ignoring the negro at our very
doors. The good southerner was not
consulted and his valuable aid was
lost. BY that loss the negro was the
principal loser"

The announcement by the tobacco
board of trade that the sales Of last

ed to 1907, 900 is very gratifying to the
friends of Wilson's improvement.

G SUFFRAGE.

North Carolina is moving to cure a
great evil-the rule of the negro in
political and governmental affairs. In
Virginia the white folks are in action
now and in two or three months will
adopt a constitution for the state that
will deal with negro suffrage IL a re-
pressive way. Louisiana lately held an
election, the first state election since
the new constitution was adopted -
the last election the negroes registered
some 125, 900. This year they registered
but 1000. In the last election the whites
registered not far from 120, 600. This
year III, 600. The new suffrage qualifi-
cation set aside the hitherto negro rule
that was such a curse and ruin to the
state, as Senator McEnery SO forcefully
exhibited in the senate some months
ago. In North Carolina probably Co.
900 negroes will continue to vote and
under enlarged educational facilities
will yearly increase. With an amend
ment the white mans government will
vote more money to the education OF
the negroes. With the amendment de-
feated, there will be very little OF
white peoples money expended hereaf-
ter for negro education. With the en-
gro still on top white men will not
bleed themselves to educate their en-
emieS.

NORTH CARoLINA,s WAR RECORD.

The Nashville Confederate Veteran.
publishes a long and interesting paper
upon North Carolina in the war. We do
no know h prepared it. If it is cor
rect then it is high time that North
Carolina should lower its figures very
considerably after 25 years OF brag-
cling over its numbers in the war Gov
ernor Vance said there were 125,OO0.
We have generally insisted tina there
were 126, 600 or more. We have never
been honored with so much as a sight
of the North Carolina Roster, but soon
after it was published by the legisla-
ture in several large volumes, how
many we do not so much as know, it
was stated in one of the Raleigh apers
OF that time, as we recall it, that the
Roster contained some 1872, 900 or more
names. We found out that there were
errors in it by repeating names, and
we suggested that it be re-edited and
all errors be corrected. We know a
journalist in Wilmington now whose
name appears in three places. The Vet
eran publishes a list of commands with
the HuLlDEIS. II IL SIdlCo Tia II was
prepared and compiled by Major John
W. Moore. If based upon the Roster
il is probable hat wen the 104, 49S
total is in excess. That is, If the errors
in the Roster were relied upon. So
according to his figures. If correct, the
old state did not have 12O. 600 or 130, 900
men in the war. but 1O4, 49S. or less, if
errors are corrected. Is that correct?
We confess after believing in the
greater number for a quarter of a CEN
fury or longer, it is something humil-
iating to be assured by a North Car
Gilman hat the total number of men
in the service was 104. 49S. So it is not
so certain, after all the blowing. that
North Carolina leads all its sister
states in the ~Confederacy. Before ever
saying again what North Carolina did
we must know the precise numbers.
No more exaggeratiOn for us.

AN BYporHEcAL pRErENcE.

The Butler remnant are prodigious
friends Of the negro voters. They love
them with the brotherly tenderness of
the bear when it holds a helpless VIC
tim within its huge paws. They love
the negroes so deeply, 30 desperately
that they would squeeze the very life
out of them-all political life. How soz
Look at their platform adopted the
other day. What Toe it say, what an
linus? 1t is to eliminate the negro
completely in the division of the spoils.
They propose to actually sc amend
the constitution that the negroes shall
not be capable again of holding office
in North Carolina. The conduct OF the
Butler gang Of foppers is most re-
markable for inconsistency and hum
bug. They fused with republicans for
office when there was nothing in the
demands Of the parties in the way of
principles that resembled each other.
They a~ntagoniZed at every point per-
haps- And now, after years of pro-
found silence, they wake up as to the
negro incapacity enough to declare
oo0ASN ohy AOSAO CsNL o5oAA -
office in this state. The P~ittsboro Rec
ord puts h case in this wise:
IF Butler and the other populiSt
leaders are really in favor of such an
amendment, why did they not say 50
before now? Why did they not propose
such an amendment at the legislat Ire
of 1895. when Butler was elected sena-
tor? Why did not Butler get his own
legislature, which he so absolutely
controlled, to ropos such an amend-
ment?
1.-The truth is, and everybody knows
it, that more negroes have held office
in North Carolina by and through the
ed an influence in our state than ever
before. More negroes obtained office
in North Carolina by an through the
fusion of the populists with republicans
than ever before. Until the organiZa-
ton of the peoples party and it's fusion
with the republicans, the white people
of North Carolina were controlling and
governing our good old state. But when
the populists were driven by Butler
into an unholy alliance with the re-
publicans, then the negroes asserted
their Importance and obtained more
offices in North Carolina han they had
ever before held. When Butler, IN or
der to be elected senator, sold out his
party to the republicans, the giving
of offices to negroes Cwho ompoSe j
majority of the republican partly was
a part of the trade"
That is we'll and forcefully stated. II
was a game of grub. grab and hum
bug from the start, without principle
or justice or anything honest and hor-
orable to commend the course. 1t was
then hat leading gentlemen WIN had
withdrawn from the old democratic
party because they could not obtain
a certain redress of grievances they
\ sought and demanded, Indignantly
frowned upon the Butler sell out and
kicked the populist dust from t.:eir
shoes. They are now cooperating with
the democratic party. There is nothing
commendable in the declaration OF ha
Butler gang who jumped when he pulls
the string. They do not care a fig for
the negro unless he can give them of
! flee.

TILLMAN.
The Michigan Hissers Felt the Stray
Electric Spark.

A dispatch from Ann Arbor, Mich,
says: Senator Tillman, of out Caro-
lima, lectured here last night under the
auspices Of the Good Government
League, his subject being THE Race
Question in the South"
The Incident of the evening was his
d1atribe against the negroes. The au-
dience was composed of students. Df-
rectly In front and alone sat a colored
student, and the senator looked at him
In making his remarks.
You scratch one of these colored
graduates under the skim" he said.
and you'll find the savage. His edu-
cation is like a oat of paint, like his
skin"
There were Kisses from several parts
OF the house. Senator Tillman smiled
and retorted:
You u excuse me for my frank
ness. There is nothing Of hatred in my
nature for the negroes. When that man
VINO Kissed gets ready to give his
daughters in marriage to a negro and
proves by his actions and not by Kisses
that he means business, / win apollo
giZe, and not before"
The applause which greeted his re-
mark was tremendous, and there was
no more kissing during the evening.
