Rev. Henry Frank, of New York

re-enslavem ent as the best thing for
the negro" he thinks "a section
should be set apart and the negroes
allowed to 20. voluntarily, and chose
heir masters, those who would treat
them humanely." The Atlanta Con-
stitution thinks "the preacher is both
right and wrong. That, while the
negro is unfit for suffrage. yet the
white man does not want him as q
slave" Now these two great forces.
the spiritual and the intellectual, are
both wron If the ,shite man is
capable of sufeage-aLi We say he
is-then three fourths white negro
should be entitled to something. If
not. then the right exists alone in
name and not In the Caucasian
blood. A preacher should look at it
In its moral phase, and intelligence
snouio look at 1t In q human sense.
Now the negro is q human being
and possesses soul, or he is not q
human being and is only q brute.
Ii he cannot be civilized, then he
cannot be cbristianized and hence,
all this ado about sending mission
airy money to christianize him, is =
delnsion of those who are in religion
for the spoils. If God could intrust
him with soul, man could with q
ballot. If white men could intrust
that race with their own blood, bone
and sinew, how dare them to call
him brutef Boys, you have your
theories too far apart, and too low.

mon-machine swear that there is
"no doubt" about its constitution
ality. The present Legislature,
with fifty or more lawyers RxAr
~ and WISE ~ passed more uncon.
stitutionsl laws than any previous
Legislature. Yet they would have
the honest, uneducated white men
accept their views on the constitu-
tionality Of the amendment rather
than the opinions Of such able law
yers as ex-senator Edmunds. Sena-

grew and others.
II. C. Cage, V'ce-Chairman Of the
Louisiana Democratic State Execr-
tive Committee, says that the "first
election held under the New Con-
stitution was the city election held
In November last"
The question has been asked why,
IL the amendment s unconstitution-
al, has it not been tested In Louisi
ana? The reason Is given above, In
the interview OF Mr.. Caga, because
the first city election was held in
November, and the first State cleo
tion in April, thu refore there has
been no opportunity to test it.
Daniels visit to Louisiana to as
certain the BEAUTIFUL operation of
the amendment in perpe tuating
machine rule in that State, and his
laudations OF the effectiveness OF
the scheme to remove the negro
from politics will not fool anybody
here.
In his paper of October 25th
1898, Daniels wrote editorially as
follows:
Every honest man in the State
white or black, has quit going about
repeating the lie, that if the Demo
Gratis carry this election they will
disfranchl Sc all illiterate voters"
Again, in the same editorial be
said:
"We will no longer hear this lie
that the Democrats propose to dis
franchise voters from any man who
values his reputation for truth"
So Daniels stands convicted now
OF having told the die" in 1898, and
he has SO far damaged his "reputa
tation for truth" that no one will
believe his articles about the
amendment in Louisiana.

THAT LIST OF LAWYERs.


Did you see that list Of lawyers in
the News and o oserver last Su nda, +?
There were only one hundred and
six'y-two names. And they are THE
PROMINENT LAWYERS IN THE STATE
1t is hoped the other two thousand
or more lawyers in the State do not
feel bad!
And these gentlemen whose names
appear in the Observer, BELoNe TO
THE STATE BAR ASSOCIATIONS! What
that has t. do with their legal opin-
ions, 1t is hard to surmise, as that
Association was organized for the
mutual benefit of its individual
members"
As the Association is mentioned in
connection with their legal opinions
on the amendment, doubtless. it has
been decided that the adoption of
the amendment will be of mutual
benefit 10 the me m bers of the Asso-
ciation." Now every sensible man
knows if that be true, then it cannot
be of mutual benefit to the masses
of the people.
II these lawyers have examined
the law thoroughly, it is strange
that they, Cor one of them, at leas,)
had not discovered long ago the con
f1ict in the wording Of the amend
ment as gotten up by the present
WISE lawyer legislature. II they
overlooked that, how do the people
know but what they have overlooked
other "wlse" Documents
Now, if one hundred and sixty-two
lawyers, by just simply signing their
name to q document makes it legal,
right, aud wise, then by the two
thousand or more other lawyers in
the State, who refused to sign it.,
overwhelmingly proves that it is
illegal, wrong and unwise.
If this amendment should become
law, aud some rich corporation
should kick against excessive taxes,
lmpo sed under and by the law, and
the cooperation should refuse to paw
II, and take it to the courts, wonder
If any one, or all, of these one hun.
dred and six'y-two lawyers, could
not be employed to 60 before the
court and argue the demonstrations
atty of this amendment Don I
all speak at once.
