THE INTELLIGENcER
WHEELING. MARCH 81 1900


That the deplorable situation in Ken
lucky is rapidly assuming national in
terest is evidenced by the fact that the
Republican state conventions OF Ar
kazsas and Delaware, which met last
week inserted planks in their plat
forms directly bearing on the subject.
Arkansas. perhaps, appreciates the
situation better than Delaware, because
she is suffering under an afflicatIon
similar to the infamous GOebel law.
The Arkansas Republicans in their
platform said:
1--WE denounce the Goebsl act and the
Nesbit act and all similar laws in Ar
kansas and elsewhere. concocted to
cheat the honest voter and to enable a
corrupt minority TO govern. Such
measures are the worst enemies Of free
institutions and inevitably result in the
establishment of corrupt and consci-
enceless oligarchies. Every honest
voter should fight them to the death"
The Delaware plank. while somewhat
milder. is none the less torceful in its
condemnation. II says:
1--WE heartily condemn the Goebel
election law of Kentucky and all other
partisan legislation intended to defeat
the will of the people by preventing
the fair casting and counting Of legal
ballots. And in this state we call for
the strict enforcement OF the Constitu-
ton in regard to the purity of cleo
tons, and we unsparlngly repudiate
and denounce the corrupt use OF money
to influence votes either in popular
elections or the halls Of the legisla-
ture."
Louisiana is about to witness con-
test similar TO that which was waged
in Kentucky last year against Goebel.
The Republicans and honest Democrats
have combined TO fight the powerful
ullgarcny In that state which has
passed laws looking to its continuation
in power. The Republican ticket is
headed by son Of Senator McEncry.
who now represents Louisiana In the
United States senate, and other Re-
publican state conventions when they
maat, viii do well to keep Louisiana's
plight in mind when they remember the
I;entgcky situation.
In speaking OF the action of the Della
ware and Arkansa. conventions the
Philadelphia Press says:
1T Is not usual for party platforms
in one state to deal with party policies
another state unless these policies
are Of national interest. The condem-
nation Of The Goebei election law in
both the Arkansas and Delaware plat
forms is :. proof of the wide attention
It has attracted and the general recog-
milton OF It's dangerous character. 1t
will be well II all Republican state con-
vrntlons ard the national convention
, take notice Of this infamous measure.
II should be scared and branded on the
peoples memory so that no other state
win venture to repeat Kcntucky's act
Coming from southern state Repub-
lean conventions the condemnation of
the Goebel Law is peculiarly appropri-
ate. But northern Republican eonven-
tons should BE- equally emphatic. Dis
honest election laws cannot be too
strongly condemned and repudiated."

WONDERFUL FEATURES
OF the Transportation of the Negro
TO North America.

Negroes who came to North America
had to undergo as complete transition
as ever fell to the lot Of man. without
the least chance to undergo an accllmat-
lzing process. They were brought from
the hottest part OF the earth to the re-
gion where the winters cold Is Of al
most arctic severity--from an exceed
Ingly humid to a dry air. They came to
service under an allen taskmaster,
strange 10 them in speech and in pur-
pose. They had to betake themselves
to unaccustomed food and to clothing
such as they had never worn before,
writes Prof Shaler in Appleton's Popu-
/, lar Science Monthly.
Rarely could one Of them find about
him familiar face or friend, parent
or child, or an object that recalled his
past life to him. II was an appalling
change. Only those who know how the
negro cleaves to the familiar things OF
life, how fond he Is OF warmth and
friendship, can conceive the physical
and mental shock that this Introduction
to new conditions meant TO them. To
people of our own race 1t could have
meant death. But these wonderful folk
appear to have withstood the trials OF
their deportation In a marvellous way.
They showed no peculiar liability to
disease. Their longevity or period Of
usefulness was not diminished. Nos
talgla was not source Of mortality. as
1t would have been with any Aryan pop
ulation. The price they brought in the
market and the satisfaction Of their
purchasers with their qualities shows
that they were from the first almost
ideal labcrers
II we compare the Algonquin Indian,
in appearance sturdy fellow. with
these negroes we see of what stun the
blacks are made. A touch of housework
and of honest toll took the breath Of the
aborigines away, but these tropical ex-
otics fell to their tasks and trials far
better than the men OF our own kind
could have done.
