A PLEA FOR THE NEGRO.
Booker Il. WsshIngton's Plea Before the
Aiaba mn Constitutional Couven-
tion ut Montgomery.

Montgomery, Ala. May 29.--Booker
T. Washington, on behalf of his race,
yesterday presented to the constitu-
tional convention an appeal for con-
servative action. The address re-
minds the convention that the negroes
came here against their will. but have
been benefited, trained and Christian
lied. They did their duty in the civil
war and in the Spanish war. They
have ceased Nor 20 years to be an Of
fensive element in politics. Leading
members of the race have persisteniy
urged the negro to learn to trust the
white man. For these men this is /,
crucial time. The negro pays some
direct taxes. lie pays much more in.
directly through his labor. He is in
the main u producer Of wealth and
generally contented and law-abiding.
Already the emigration agent and
and exodus associations are at work
on the negro's fears that his citizen
ship and schools will both be taken
away The relations are now general
ly satisfactory between the races.
Anything that will unsettle the negro
now when he is settling down to thrift

races.
The address pleads that all incen-
tives for right and useful living be not

The leading feature of the suffrage
clause offered yesterday by ex-Gov.
Jones is that which denies the right
to vote tc ANY person VINO shall here
after be guilty and convicted of sell
ing his own vote or buying or barter

election or in any primary, caucus or
convention, or who shall make or aid
in making any false count or returns
as to the result of such election.
primary, caucus or convention. or
who shall hereafter carry concealed
weapons and be convicted thereof"
Senator Morgan has prepared for
the consideration of the constitutions
al convention an address designed to
support his suffrage clause Senator
Morgan's plan is simple. Nobody but
a white man shall hold office. A court
of three registrars is provided for
each county and these courts shall
have absolute power to determine the
qualifications of every voter, save that
an appea, from its decision lies to
the circuit courts.
The real feature of the plan is in
the provision that only white men
shall hold Office. The registrar plan
is similar to that in Mississippi, cx-
cept that the courts of registrars
have much wider discretion.

The government crop report, issued
by the Little Rock weather bureau
for the week ending May 2S. shows
that light rainfall was fairly well
distributed throughout the state The
temperature was decidedly lower and
greatly retarded the growth of corn
and cotton. Corn is being worked out
and the stands are generally fair to
good. Cotton chopping progresses
rapidly. In many sections the stand is
poor, while in others the stands are
fair to good. Wheat and oats have
been damaged to a great extent by the
recent dry weather. Irish potatoes
are generally fair to good, but some
injury is being done by bugs in many
localities. The prospects for fruit con-
tinue good in most sections.
