BOOKER WASHINGTON APPEALS
To Alabama Democrats to Leave
the Negro a Vote.

Montgomery, Ala, May 2o.-Booker
7. Washington in behalf of his race
today presented to the constitutional
convention an appeal for conservative
action. The address reminds the con-
vention that the negroes came here
against their will but have been bene
flied. trained and Christianized. They
did their duty in the civil war and IN
the Spanish war. They have ceased for
20 wears to be an offensive element IN
politics. Leading members of the
race have persistently urged the ne
gro to learn to trust the white man.
For these men this is a crucial time.
The negro pays some direct taxes. He
paws much more indirectly through
his labor. He is in the main pro-
ducer of wealth and generally content
ed and law abiding. Already the emi-
grafton agent and exodus associations
are at work on the negro's fears that
his citizenship and schools will both
be taken away. The relations are
now reasonably satisfactory between
the races. Anything that will unsettle
the negro now, when he is settling
down to thrift and comon sense, will
injure both races.
The address pleads that all incentive
for right and useful living be not
withdrawn from the young negro. 1t
concludes:
aAny law which will merely change
the name and form of fraud or can be
interpreted as meaning one thing
when applied TO another will not in
our opinion, improve our present
conditions, but may unsettle the
peace and thrift of our people and de-
crease the wealth and prosperity of
our country
The leading feature of the suffrage
clause of today by ex-Gov. Jones IS
that which denies the right to vote
to ''any person who shall hereafter be
guilty and convicted Of selling his own
vote or bartering the vote of another,
in any legal election or in any prl-
mary. caucus or convention held to
nominate persons or public officers or
to elect delegates to any primary, or
convention, or who shall make or aid
in making any false count, certificates
or returns as to the result OF sucn
election, primary, caucus or conven-
tion. or who Shall thereafter carry
concealed weapons and be convicted
thereof. -
On the desks of all the members
is an address by Senator Morgan
and copies of suffrage clause which
he has prepared for the consideration
of the convention. The address is
designed to support the clause. Sena-
tor Morgan's plan is simple. Nobody
but a white man shall hold Office.
A court of three registrars is pro
vided for each county and these have
absolute power to determine the guam
fcations of every voter except that an
appeal from its decision lies to the
circuit court.
The registrars are elected to start
with by the courts of the county com.
missionersj but after the first term OF
four years to be chosen by the people.
The real feature of the plan IS IN
the provision that only white men
shall hold Office. The registrar plan
is similar to the one in Mississippi,
except that the courts OF registrars
have a much wider discretion.

END OF THE MEMPHIS REUNION.
Building of the Battle Abbey at Richmond
Soon to Begin.
Will Meet in Dallas Next Year.

Memphis, Tenn, May 29.-With all
their work for the year finished moth
ing remains in the programme OF the
reunion of the Confederate veterans
save the parade which will be held
tomorrow morning, if there is no in
reference by the elements. There
was sharp little thunderstorm this
evening and the prospect for tomorrow
is not entirely favorable.
The convention adjourned this eve
ming to meet next year in Dallas,
Tex.
Gen. John B. Gordon was reelected
commander of the order without oppo-
sition and the scene which followed
the announcement that for one year
longer he would preside over the work
of the organization was touching.
The old soldiers sprang to their feet
and cheered the general with frantic
energy. Delegates climbed upon their
chairs. made the building ring with
their shouts and filed the air with
their waving hats as they applauded
him again and again. 1t was min
ute or two before the general could
master his emotion sufficiently to ex-
press his thanks for the honor award
ed to him and to express his graft
tude for the expressions of good will
wish which his reelection had been
received.
The convention has been memorable
in aonther respect, and that is finally
it has been decided that steps are to
be taken for the erection of the battle
abbey in Richmond. The work Of
erecting memorial to the cause OF the
south has passed beyond the prelimi-
nary stage and now the actual build
ing will be commenced. Within 90
days the members of the executive
committee Will meet in the city Of
Richmond for the purpose of complet.
ing details for the commencement OF
the building and the laying of the cor,
nerstone. The committee has in hand
the funds to warrant the work, and
from now on it is expected that there
will be no more delay in the erection
of the memorial.

Conference About Cuba.

Washington, May 0.---An important
conference on Cuban relations took
place at the White House this after
noon. There were present with Presl-
dent Mckinley, Secretary Root, Sena-
tor O. II. Platt, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on relations with Cuba.
and Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin.
For more than hour and a. half the
situation in Cuba was considered and
when the conference broke up no
determination had been reached. 1t
is expected that the whole matter Will
be brought before the cabinet tomor-
row and possibly will be further dis
cussed With those who have had much
to do viii shaping. Cuban relations

A SOUTHERN EXAMPLE.

1t has been rather fashionable in
some quarters to speak patronizingly
or contemptuously of southern poll
tics. as a thing not to be taken serl-
ously.
But occasionally an incident occurs
that teaches US that there are some
things in which the north might we'll
take pattern from the south.
For instance, the two senator's from
South Carolina have just resigned to
submit their differences on party
policy to the judgment of state pri-
mary. One of them has just begun
the term, which would not expire un-
til 1907: the term of the other would
run until 1903.
Consider for moment what this
means. Take first the light it throws
upon the methods Of senatorial cleo
tions in South Carolina. We know
how senator is elected in Pennsylya-
MIA. When an -aspirant there has
LANDED senatorship he feels that he
has secured valuable piece of proper
ty. If you suggested that he should
resign it to see whether the people ap-
proved of his policy he would feel as
Pierpont Morgan would feel if he had
secured control of the Northern Pacific
and somebody should advise him to
throw the stock on the market to see
whether he could get it back again.
The only northern incident of the
past generation at all parallel to the
action of Senators Tillman and Nc
Laurin was the resignation of Conk-
ling and Platt in New York. But that
was quarrel over spoils, and when
the senators resigned they thought
they controlled the legislature and had
only to instruct it to send them back.
They found to their surprise, that the
power that had the spoils to distribute
had more influence in that legislature
than they had.
In the case of the South Carolina
senators the quarrel is over party
principles, and tie verdict will be
rendered by the voters of the party in
the whole state. One of them has sac
rifced six years and the other two
years of assured service for the sake of
giving the people a chance to make
this decision.
There will be no Quay and Platt
campaigning in South Carolina. The
issues Will be thrashed out by open,
honest argument, and decided accord
ing to the thoughtful judgment of the
citizens. It will be such a campaign
as the State has not seen since the
civil war, for the questions that divide
the parties will be brought up and
discussed under conditions that insure
freedom of debate and a fair decision.
While the whole contest is nominally
within the democratic party it really
involves the question whether South
Carolina shall have one party or two.
Senator McLaurin is so friendly to
the administration and its policy that
the friends of Senator Tillman do not
recognize him. as a democrat. If he
can win in the primaries, or even de-
velop marked strength, the political
solidity of South Carolina is likely to
disappear.-New York Jonurnal.

He held this and other responsible positions upon that journal for eight years. Since leaving the Utica Herald, his journal istic experience has been thorough and wide. He has been at different times professionally connected with the New York Tribune, the New York Evening Post, the Montreal Herald and a number of other leading dailies in the states of New York and Pennsyl- vania. MT. Sawdey is now in the prime of life, being 3S years of age, and the Waterbury Republican may we'll congratulate itself that it has him at it's head when he is at his best, in talent, experience and marked ex- ecutive ability in journalism. The Re- publican, under him, is also now en- tering upon the best and most pros porous era in it's own career.

NINE HOURS FOR MECHANICS.

Closely following the recently suc- cessful move of the store clerks for Tuesday night closing, and the equally just and reasonable attempt of the painters and paperhangers to secure eight hours as days work, which also has been successful, will come a movement which will be along the ing. We refer to the action soon to be put in operation of the Mechanics union to secure in all our factories the concession of nine hours as days work. This request, or perhaps de- mand, which it is said has already received the approval of all, or nearly all, the unions in the city of mechan- ics of all kinds, will surely, when politely presented to our manufactur- CTS and capitalists, present for their consideration a question not to be lightly determined or thrown into the waste basket It will be request which cannot be trif1ed with on either side. It will be one of the greatest con- sequence and importance, both to local labor and local capital, and to all the great manufacturing interests which center here and give to Waterbury whatever of prosperity and solidity it enjoys.
 The labor unions of the city do not, we understand, make the request or nine working hours per day, instead
