ORGANS OF ISLANDER.

Their organs of slander appear each
abuse Of Democratic leaders. Have they
not boasted that no Senator elected by
the next Legislature will be allowed TO
take his seat? What do their malice, their
anger, their threats mean, unless they in
tend to renew the miserable agitation
with which the bosom of the State has
been torn for the last two years? Does
anybody believe that they Will allow the
Amendment to stand If by sectional legis-
laticn and hostile action or the part OF
Republican President they can make it
worthless? Why have their organs of
slander persistently copied from Republi-
can papers in the North, articles de.
ncuncing the people of North Carolina
and favoring a reduction of the South's
representation in Congress on account Of
the Acknowledgement OF the negro? If
they want the race issue to die, why are
they trying to keep it alive? Mr.. CrIrn
packer, Republican member of Congress,
from Indiana has already introduced a
bill to cut down the Congressional repre-
sentation of those Southern State which
have disfranchised the negro Does that
look like peace, harmony and good will? ?
What party has incorporated in its nation

which disfranchise the negroes? Was that
the action of the Democratic party seek
ing to keep alive the fires of racial
hatred and draw the color line once more
in politics? Not SO. The national Re-
publican party at their convention in
Philadelphia adopted. that plank. Did a
single delegate to that convention from
North Carolina object to the declaration
Not one. If they desired and the Re-
publican party desired to obliterate the
race question in politics, why did they
not say SO then and there? The race
issue has been raised and the Republican
party raised it. Even though the Demo-
Gratis have desired to avoid the color line
in the national campaign, the action Of
the Philadelphia convention would have
made it impossible. The Republican pal ty
threw down the challenge when they de-
nounced North Carolina for disfranchisjng

NEGRO RULE IS STILL AN
ISSUE IN NORTH CAROLINA
And Will be an Issue Until 1902 When the
Franchise Amendment Recently
Adopted Goes Into Effect.
MUST FIGURE IN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
The Opposition to the Mention of the Negro Question in
This Campaign is Inspired by the Enemies
of Democracy.

the race issue was Just and proper. Later
when the solid negro strength is to be
thrown for the candidate whom they wish
elected and against the candidate whom
they wish defeated, they frown upon any
attempt to rally white men on race line.
So with them the right or wrong of negro
suffrage seems to depend largely upon
which way the negro intends to vote.
THE LAW NOT YET IN FORCE.
Some things the amendment has accom-
plished; others il has not.
Nobody ever promised, nobody ever ar
gued, that it would take the negro out
of politics until THE LAW IS IN FORCE.
Can the negroes be disfranchised by a
law which has not gone into operation
Who contends that they can? They have
the same right to vote in November that
they had in August. The negro will cease
to be an issue when he ceases to be a
voter-ln 1902 Then we may expect rest
from The negro question. The Democratic
party believes that the negroes ought not
to decide for whom the electoral vote
of this State shall be cast in the Presi-
dental election. The negro question is
not the only issue; it is not the paramount
issue; but it is an issue for all that We
have the religious workers who are acting
fer what they conceive to be the State
own good, and the Mckinley sympathizer5
who hate Bryan, both warning the Demo-
cratic party that the negro question must
not be discussed further. Behind them
stand the Republican party and those
Populist leaders who are Republicans in
all save name, urging for a sinister and
Interior motive. that the negro issue is
dead. They have not accepted the result
Of the August election in good faith
While they insist that the Democrats
must no longer discuss the amendment,
they, themselves. have not abandoned It,
nor have they pretended TO abandon it.
Protesting that the Democratic party
promised them an era of good feeling. by
way of fastening the coming of that aus
picious day they go about with curses on
thoir lips. threats in their mouths and
revenge in .heir hearts. They protest.
do they not that the August election
was fraudulent and void and thai the
Amendment has never been adopted at al.

Needed Street Improvements.

Deputy Sheriff Henry +. Ferber has
a gang of prisoners at work making
much needed improvements on Ceme-

drive over the thoroughfare.
The attention of the street commits
sioner is urgently called to the deplor-
able condition of Pettebone street.
There il not passable crossing lead
