We are proud of the courage and

BALTIMORE, AUGUST 6.-All the un-
ion stevedores in Baltimore, numbering
about $500 went on strike today because
the steamship agents refused to agree
to employ no more non-lnion men. The
trouble began several days ago when
Patterson, Ramsay & Co., Of the John
son line, were fined $50 by the stevedores
union for employing non-union men. This
fine the firm refused to pay and the
Stevedores claim that the other agents
united with the firm in question to en-
ploy non-union men and break UP the
Union.

THE SOUrH'S NEED.

The Montgomery Advertiser prints this
paragraph in its editorial column:
..The entire and final elimination of the
negro from politics will most assureoly
cause a new alignment Of political forces
in this State, and it will be largely on the
tariff issue. There are in Alabama to-
day hundreds and thousands of good men
who are protectionists in principle. They
believe in the Republican theory OF pro-
tect;ye tariff. but they have continued to
vote with the Democrats, and have done
so solely on the race question. II any
plan Gun be devised by which the co,ored
race will cease to be a factor or a dis
turbing element in our politics men VINO
are opposed to the old Democratic theory
OF low tariff or a tariff only for reVe-
nue. will unite with the party which stands
for their belief on the question. Then we
will have in Alabama two parties COM
posed of the white citizens of Alabama,
and all equally interested, according to
their views. in the welfare OF the State.
This, in our judgment, IS consumma-
ton much to be desired"
For our part we believe in the old-fash-
ioned Democratic doctrine Of thrift for
revenue only. We do not believe in the
fostering care of Government for any
one branch of industry to the detriment
Of others. We do not believe in any sort
of class legislation, and The Times will
always fight such measures But we be-
lieve, first of NIL, in political liberty, and
we are in favor of shaking off the yoke
of political bondage in the South. Ever
since the war the white people Of the
South have been compelled to act to-
gether, regardless of their views on ques-
tons of national politics, to protect them
selves against the constant menace OF
negro rule. 1t mattered not how these
white men disagreed on the subject Of
tariff and finance and other questions of
subordinate all such questions to the para
mount issue of white supremacy.
This has been a great misfortune to the
South, and we have time and again said
that one of the greatest benefits to be de-
rived from the elimination of the negro
vote is that the whites may feel free to
split up into two respectable and evenly
matched parties. A republican form Of
government presupposes two parties, and
two parties are necessary to the perpetual
ton Of such a government. We long 10
see the day when there will be absolute
political liberty in the Southern States,
but we fear that that day will not come
until the fifteenth amendment has been
repealed. No matter what devices the
Southern States may hit upon to get rid
OF the negro in politics the fifteenth
amendment is an abiding menace.

PLURAL VOTING

The able and Interesting article from
Prof. Raleigh C. Minor as to the possibility
OF Introducing plural voting as a remedy
for the present condition which the illite-
rate negro vote has created, deserves
tuiier mention than we We're able to give
in Sundays paper. This is the first time,
SO far as We know, in the discussion as to
ways of eliminating the negro vote that
the question Of the possibility of plural
voting has been brought forward, and the
matter is one that will naturally attract
the attention Of all thoughtful students of
the condition with which we are now
brought face to face.
Ii is an interesting fact that plural vot-
ing did at one time exist in Virginia, every
landowner being entitled to vote in the
county in which his property was situated,
and it is hardly necessary to remark that
a similar condition exists in England to-
day. But this right of voting wherever
property wasf situated was abolished by
the Constitution Of 1851, and we see no
chance of its being re-enacted. Belgium
IS the chief example to-day of country
ii
pears to have given satisfaction there. The
electors in Belgium are divided into three
classes. One vote is given 10 all male per-
sons above twenty-five years Of age who
have resided for a year in one constituent
scv; an additional vote is given to married
men and w;dowers Of not less than thirty
five years of age with families, paying a
personal tax Of five francs to the State
on the buildings they inhabit, and also to
owners OF property Of a certain amount;
while a third and smaller class formed of
men Who have received a higher educa-
lion. oiled public function. or belong to.

est;ng provision which requires every voter

Mr.. Mckinley was perfectly right In re-
snonainr to aRuasas note as he dix This
country has had no purpose from the De
ginning Of this Chinese matter but &c
protect our diplomatic representatives aiid
the other Desiegel in Pel<in and to pre-
serve the freedom Of all China for the
trials Of all the world. We went into the
object we have proclaimed that as our
object all the time, and all Of our actions
should be regulated by that as the purpose
with which the enterprise was entered
u,en. That being so, it was perfectly
right that our response to the Russian
note should have been just what it was.
But Mr.. Mckinley should be on his guard
all the same lest Russia is leading him
nv the nose to accomplish some end OF
her own. She certainly appears here In
a new and most startling part, and her
mast history should make us exceedingly
careful how we accept her acts and pros
fessions that are so glaringly in contrast
with what has been her course and her
policy in the past.
England has been in one steady and UNI
ending contest with Russia for two hun
dred and fifty years, and in that tune lae
English people have learned to distrust
whatever c,nanates from the foreign office
at ST. Petersburg. They are, therefore,
very wary how they accept her present
professions and tenders. Lord SALISBURY
is holding back before he accepts them
Internationally to try and ascertain
whether this move is dictated by sincerity
and caIldor or whether it is a move upon
the political chess-board to conceal some
1ltcrior purpose not now disclosed. Not
only Lord Salisbury. but all of England is
arguing that Russia is not yet ready 10
disclose her hand in the East, but that
what she is really aiming at is to lu!i the
rest Of the world while she pushes on her
Trans-siberia rail1o DAD, but that as soon as
she can accumulate a sufficient force
upon her Siberian frontier she will seize
Manchuria and permanently annex 1t to
her donlinionS. thus Remembering the
Chinese Empire in a most important partl-
cular. For this reason Lord Salisbury is
a Little slow in jumping to an acceptance
of what Russia proposes. We cannot un-
derstand how she has SO quickly turned
from Power watching every opportunity
TO aggrandisc herself to one actuated by
her highest impulses or altruism and a
I desire to settle the trouble of the East
upon a basis that will give to every one
what each is entitled to.
II may be well if Mr. Mckinley becomes
inbued with a little of Lord Salisbury S
| caution. Russia's present course is a
little unintellisible to those who are IA
miiar with her past history, and in every
event it Will be far wiser to hold on to
joint action with England until it becomes
| manifest that our purposes are too wide
apart for reconciliation than to run off
hastily to new ways and new allies that
we do not feel perfectly sure of.
