WILL IT BE TESTED.

Since the election the opponents OF
the amendment have not had any
thing to say about testing the Con-
stitutional Amendment. This may be
due to the fact that they are still
so dazed that they have not had time
to collect their thoughts, or it may
be that they will reflect over the
matter until 1901, when the amend
ment goes into effect.
The Legislature put an end to their
threat of having the Supreme Court
to set aside the grandfather clause"
and let the educational clause stand
when they made it zone indivisible
scheme of suffrage" That will not
whet their appetites for test case.
They may, after rejecting it with
scorn, adopt Tom Settles advice, ac-
quiesce in the amendment, and try
to build up Lilly White Republic
cam party in North Carolina. That
does not promise to be very successful,
but it is the only hope now that the
negro will be eliminated in 1902.
If the Republicans should carry the
amendment to the Supreme Court,
and if it, should be oyel thrown the
Democratic party would Immediately
submit the Mississippi plan and elm
mate the negro vote in that way. The
Republicans know this and the knowl-
edge may deter them from trying to
set the present amendment aside un-
til they have had chance at the
Lilly White party scheme, or the
plan of respectable Republican par
ty" in North Carolina, led by j. Wiley
Shook and Abe Middleton-the right
bowers of Eastern and Western North
Carolina.

MANIPULATING THE CENSUS.

1t is not only in North Carolina that
census supervisors were guilty OF
wrong doing. Here they were can
vassers for the Republican party and
used their positions to become peri
patetic "electioneerers." In some
parts of the North Republicans are
coming the Porter act on the census
and will try to make it help the Re-
publicans. In Chicago it is claimed that
both population and manufacturing
statistics have been manipulated.
Chairman Jones is quoted as saying:
81 speak with knowledge when l
say that the Republicans are SO d1-
rectinp the Twelfth census that it may
be made the means of advancing their
interest in the campaign which is just
opening. In certain parts OF the
country enumerators have made a po-
litical poll of the townships and dis
tricts. and in other ways have used
the census for purposes other than
that for which it was taken.
II am not surprised to learn that
manufacturing schedules have been
returned from Washington. If the
instructions which have come with
them might be made known | imagine
they would make interesting read
ing"

Evidently the people of the North
believe in going away from home to
demand justice for the negro. His
Acknowledgement in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi is "a crime in the eyes of some
of the Northern newspapers and their
readers, but we have failed to find
single Northern editor that has had
word to say in protest
against the taking away, at Niagara
Falls, in New York State, of the privi-
lege of the negroes to earn a living
by driving hacks and carriages.
Whether the black man shall be per-
mitted to earn a, living by honest work
is a matter of much more interest to
him than whether he shall be permit
ted to cast ballot. In North Caro-
lima the negro has been put on notice
that he cannot vote except under GER
tain conditions. At Niagara Falls, in
New York, he has been informed that
he can not work if he comes into COM
petition with white men.

negro preacher in Massachusetts
is endeavoring to induce the negro to
emigrate from North Carolina since
the adoption of the amendment. In a
sermon at Cavalry Baptist church,
Springfield, last Sunday, he spoke of
the adoption of the amendment in
North Carolina and added: "Black
men, who cannot read or write, will
no longer be allowed to vote there.
This being the case, our people should
leave North Carolina. They should go
where their rights as American citi-
zens will be respected. / suggest,
therefore, that you write and advise
friends and relatives in every part of
of the South, where their rights are
not respected, to emigrate North"

To the negro of North Carolina, the
result of this election is of inestima-
BILE value. BY it the right to vote has
been taken from him-a deprivation much
