SATURDAY, JUNE %, 1900.

Recent developments in the Cuban
postofice troubles show that the re-
trenchments made by Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow were
imperatively demanded by Postmaster
General Smith some months ago, when
he ordered that a system of reform
should be Immediately commenced in
order that the expenses might then be
reduced. President Mckinley had or
dered both the Director General of
Posts and the Governor General of
Cuba to obtain the approval of the
Postmaster General upon all requisi-
tions which showed a deficiency in pos
tai management there. While reports
have been made monthly to the Gov
ernor General, not single report ever
reached Postmaster General Smith, so
in January last he began to Investigate
matters on his own account, finding
that the expenditures. far in ex-
cess of the receipts. He then ordered
retrenchment, but was not obeyed.

'Thus far thou shalt go, and no far
ther." This unjust law will not uplif1
the Negro, no! It will place such {
milestone around his neck that al
hope of ever gaining an honorable citi.
zenship will be forever crushed.
Nothing is settled until it is settled
right. So whatever policy men may
form from politics; whatever opinion
they may have of the future; whatever
relation they may have to the colored
race there is one point absolutely GER
tain; no problem concerning the stand
ard and purity Of morals and the
rights and privileges of a people, be
they black Or white, savage or civil
lied, will ever stay settled by any form
| of oppression. To inspire and aid the
| Negro to secure a practical or higher
education; to push him forward in
| business ventures, to avoid the great
evil of discrimination, and grant him
the same that the law grants white
is the least and only honorable thing
that can be done. =. ~.
The South has brushed away the
tears and blood of the four years
struggle, and the dirt and CRIME of the
reconstruction period, and now must
fix her eyes intently on this great ques-
ton. Shall the Negroes be disfran-
chised? They are a kind-hearted,
obliging and docile race, quick to learn
any industry. They love their friends
and forgive their enemies far more
quickly than the average white Lib
eral and charitable are they to the last
degree. No one will deny that their
code of morals is equal to that of the
emigrants that flock annually to our
shores from the Southern shores of
Italy-and yet these same nationali-
ties have been granted the franchise
in some of our states before they were
scarcely able to utter one word Of Eng
ligh. Is this fair, to treat a people
who have always dwelt among us in a
manner more cruel than we treat these
foreigners? The Negroes are above
the vagabonds that made Holland, and
are as intelligent as the populace that
more than once saved Rome. The path
of success should be pointed out to
them and not obscured, because any
nation in it's infancy is beset by perils
and difficulties. and we should add no
more to the burden of the black man.
What have they done that they
should be so degraded? During the
civil war was not the whole South
stripped of its defenders? And yet the
blacks insulted neither white woman
nor child. No parallel in history can
be found to the devotion Of those
slaves towards their masters family.
For four long, weary years the unpro-
tected home remained in security. In
the midst of the dusty multitudes the
white woman walked in safety. "a
thousand torches in the hands of the
blacks would have disbanded nearly
every Confederate army. But, through
the storms OF temptation the Negro
held in sacred trust the confidence in
him by the far-off Confederate troops

school, church or state. This nation
must heed the demand for justice, for
if men raised in Christian commune
ties and taught from infancy to respect
freedom and justice, trample under
foot the sacred right of the Negro to
the ballot and the principle that UNI
derlies all our code of laws, the right
of every American to trial by a jury OF
his peers, this nation will cease to be
"the land of the free and the home of
the brave
Intelligent Negroes have come to see
that the solution Of the race problem
does not rest with any political party
in power, but that the future of the
race depends on the way they adjust
themselves to the environments of this
age. Enable them to help themselves.
Having secured foundation of agri-
cultural knowledge, let them turn their
strength toward being the most skilled
farmers in the world. Let them be
helped to acquire such an education
in farming, horticulture, dairying and
stock raising as will place them near
the top, and the race problem to a large
extent will be solved. Then, too, do
not forget that when the Negroes have
secured higher education they can
hold their own in the pulpit, the press
| and at the bar. The Negroes must
force respect from the whites, and this
can only be done by becoming their
successful rivals in the various trades
| and professions. .-- =.
Representative Negroes of the South
firmly believe that the best possible
thing to be done is to have a restrict
i've ballot, but it must apply to both
races alike. They are heartily in favor
of an educational qualification. Even a
property restriction would not be OBJ
jectionable if it was fair to both races.
But no. The South will not have it
that way. The demagogues continual
ly cry, "The Negro vote must be sup
pressed" These states in passing
such law have violated the constitrl:
ton. In the faces of the American
people they are Haunting that cursed
doctrine of inequality. They are I'M
doing the great work of thirty years,
and they dare boast of this fact in con-
gress. Only few days ago, in the
Senate chamber at Washington, reply
; ing to question on this important
subject, Senator Butler, of South Car
DINA, said: "Sir, we have repealed
the Fourteenth Amendment" These
are the words and thought of the
Southern politicians. And yonder they
would place across the path of ad-
vancement this law of discrimination,
, blocking the Negro with the bar OF
color and which says in words that
need no Interpretation to the blacks

cause for which the North took up
arms in 81. Once more do the stars
and stripes wave over battlefelds
streWn with dead and dying, and over
their graves have the North and the
South firmly clasped hands in fra
ternity and peace. Once more does the
old flag wave over Southern soil, by the
free consent of it's possessors. --~ =
But during this period of peace and
prosperity, while the uttermost ends of
our country have been rejoicing, three
OF the leading Southern states have
passed amendments to their constitu-
tons that practically disfranchise the
whole of the colored race living within
their boundaries. 1t is probable that
! two more states North Carolina and
Alabama) will join at an early date
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Car
DINA in eliminating the Negroes from
the electorate. According to these
amendments it is in the power of the
election Judge to bar almost every
! black, be he intelligent or ignorant
While at the same time he may permit
the white man to vote, even though
he can neither read nor write. Such
unfair practices as are followed in
these states to prescribe the qualifica-
lions OF the1lvoters in order to sup
press them is a disgrace to this coun-.
try that boasts so much of it's world
wide civilization.
Such law does not solve the Negro
problem, but only bequeaths it to pos
sterlty. Any amendment that puts in
tegrity, intelligence and industry of
the blacks below immortality, ignor-
ance and prejudice of the whites will
stir up such feeling of race hostility
that at the time of the next generation
the difficulty will be harder to settle.
Among the white men,it will put pre-
MUM on illiteracy and make them in
dolent; among the Negroes it will en-
ervate their ambitions and make them
careless of their future. This shame
full suppression of the Negro vote will !?
breed ignorance, and that is always to
be avoided, for nothing is SO danger
GUS to a state as submerged class. 1t
contains Samsons who in the end will
be feeling for the pillars of the state.
The massing Of ignorance is a blind
and terrible force to be dreaded by any
civilization.
Rome, instead of adding life blood to
her exhausted veins by taking the
Northern Gauls into herself, discrim-
mated between classes, kept the people
in ignorance, and death became her
reward. Spain, too, has pursued this
same infamous policy, and see what a
harvest of dishonest officials, revOlu
lions and lost colonies she has reaped.
Repression may well be called the
Egyptian theory of government.
Pharaoh made long use Of it and the
whole world knows the result. The
history Of Ireland makes plain how
false that theory is It was tried for
scores Of years in Hungary and utterly
failed. Repression has and will al

The Washington Post, in an able
editorial, contrasts the surplus of al
most three hundred million dollars in
the United States treasury at the pres
ent time, with the balance four years
ago which was the result of bond is
sues in a time of peace. It also shows
that Notwithstanding the heavy war
expenses that have been, and are being
incurred, the surplus for this fiscal
year will amount to about $65, 900, 900
as compared with the deficit of nearly
$50, 100000 four years ago. It is point
ed out that this is not the result of the
war taxes alone, because, comparing
the month of May this year with May,
1896, there was an increase Of almost
$6,5O0,OOO this year in receipts from
customs alone. -.--. III
