Under Critical Eye of OBJ

FIGHTING IS FOOLISH.

IOa a1l1IG IS EOOLlSH.
A number of prominent colored
men of Alabama, lead by Rev. William
McGill, of Birmingham, have decided
to test the legality of the new amend
ment to the constitution of that state
which took effect last Thanksgiving
day, passed ostensibIy for the pur-
pose of disfranchising the colored
voters of that state. If The Republi-
can makes no mistake, the constitu-
tionality of similar laws have been
tested in the courts before and the
highest court in the land has decided
that the act was constitutional Per-
haps these men have some new ground
on which to base their case, but unless
they have, it seems a waste of time
and money to undertake a long legal
alteration over the matter, as it can
but result as have other cases of a
similar kind and character. There is
but one thing for the colored men of
Alabama and likewise other states
where they have been disfranchised,
from an educational standpoint, to do,
and that is to prepare to meet the
conditions as they exist, and, if the
men Of the present generation cannot
be taught to read and write suf1i-
ciently to become voters, it is their
duty to see to it that their children
are properly prepared to meet the
new citizenship emergency, and if
they successfully do this they will
have done well.

DEsERTER NOT MURDERER.

Norman F. Lambert was recently
arrested in Michigan City, Ind, on
suspicion of having committed a
murder some months previous in that
city. The circumstances against
Lambert were very strong and it look
ed as though he would be found
guilty of murder in the first degree,
and all because he refused to tell of
his exact whereabouts on the day of
the murder. 1t finally transpired
that Lambert knew nothing of the
murder, and was not even in the
country when it was committed, but
at the same time was in China serv.
ing as a United States soldier. Tir
ing Of army life, he deserted, and fol
that reason he tried to keep his
whereabouts a secret, in order that
he would not be punished for the les
ser offense; but he was finally forced
to tell his story to save his neck
which was verified from the army
records. He was at once taken tt

guilty to a charge of deserting from

HE is NOT FRIENDLY.

From the Pacific Journal, a weekly
published in the state of Washington,
the following excerpt has been taken:
Now that a Negro deserter from
the United States army has been
1ynched' by the Filipinos, some Of the
sympathizers for that race will be
writing essays on the race problem
in the Philippines" And is the pub
lie to understand, my dear brother,
that you are not not a sympathizer of
this down-trodden race? Owing to
the many disadvantages that the race
labors under it seems it is the duty
of every well-thinking han to write
essays or anything else that will help
to better his condition in this country,
and no man running a country paper
is more able to do this than you; so,
why not?
The Seattle Republican., 1901-12-20

there was imminent need of bettering
the educational facilities of the
South, in order to make better citi-
zens out of the young colored chill
dren who were ripening into man
hood and womanhood One of the
speakers at the gathering when the
donation was reported used the fol-
lowing very laconic, but quite appli-
cable remarks: "The people are
poor because they are ignorant, and
ignorant because they are poor" all
Of which is more than true; but so
far as the colored people are con-
cerned they would lot be that way
were it not for the oppressiveness of
the whites of that section.

| ALABAMA'S VOTING POPULATION
Speaking about tie disfranchising
of the colOred voters of the South, the
following figures taken from the
United States census report touching
the disfranchised conditions of the
state of Alabama will prove of much
interest to those not acquainted with
the exact facts: Alabama has popu-
lation of 1,828,697, a growth in the
last decade of about 315,S6O people,
or 21 per cent. OF that entire num-
Der there are 827.545 colored people
an increase of 10000, or nearly %
per cent, while the whites number
I,0O1,15 an increase since 1890 of
20 per cent. Of the whole number uf
colored people in the state 1880 are
males ever 81 years of age and all
voters under the OLD constitution. Of
that number 108,0 are illiterate.
The total number of white men en-
tiUled to vote if they. choose to exer-
else the privilege is 232,296, but at
the asst general election the entire
white and black vote only numbered
162,300. OF the entire number OF
white voters 31,60O are illiterate,
which, added to the illiterate colored
voters, gives the state of Alabama an
illiterate vote of 100000, and if the
present law is rigidly as well
as religiously enforced, not one of
that number will be able to cast
vote at the coming election. While
great majority of the colored voters
have been disfranchised, nevertheless
it will be seen from these figures that
1880 colored men can exercise the
franchise rights in that state. and if
their privilege be not abridged it will
be further seen that they not only
hol1 the balance of power in case
there are two partisan tickets in the
state, but they can elect their ticket
from top to bottom if the whites hap
pen to be divided on political issues.

THOSE NEVADA LYNCHERs.

THOSE NEVADA LYNCHERS.
Lynching colored men in the state
of Nevada does not pay very well, as
some of the citizens of that state who
attempted to perform such an un-
lawful act have been indicted by the
grand jury and are now confined in
the county Jail, while others were re-
leased on $4,000 bonds. The officials
are not leaving a stone unturned to
bring every one who participated in
the brutal act to justice. Though the
man was not actually killed, it was
not the fault of the 'wouId-be lynch
ers, as they did their best to accom-
plish their purpose. If other states
would take example from little Ne
vada there would be less lynching
carried on throughout the United
States.
