NEGRO RACE
Throughout the Realm Of the
Great United States.
Old South Carolina still has Slavery
The Innocent Negro Sent to Life
Imprisonment The same as the
Criminal One-Other Points Con
corning the Colored Race.

Senator Tillman, the one-eyed
old monster from South Carolina,
ought to be well pleased with the
following state Of affairs, concerning
the Negroes in that state, recently
made public by a grand jury investi-
cation, which practically declares a
state of actual slavery exists there.
The Inter Ocean crystallizes the af-
fair in the following:
Negro laborers are induced by va
rlous means to sign contracts which
make them virtually the slaves Of
their employers. Into these con-
tracts they are led by their ignorance
and poverty. When these means fail
to procure the planters the desired
supply of labor, Negroes are arrested
by local officials on various charges,
but, instead of being brought to trial
are sent to work on various planta-
tions.
Some of these planters lease con-
Victs from the state and have stock
AIDES in which to keep them. To
these stockades the contract laborers
are also sent. Other planters have
no convicts, but, nevertheless, have
stockades in which their so-called
free" laborers are imprisoned.
Both convict and 'Efree" laborers are
worked under guard, locked up at
night, beaten for mistakes or refusal
to work, chased with dogs and even
shot.
In fact, it was the murder of a
Negro contract laborer named Hull
by one Newell that moved Judge
Benet to summon the grand jury to
inquire into these iniquities. Men
have been seized on the roads and
forced into the stockades. One was
even klonaped from Georgia. Whip
pings were frequent and in at least
one case 100 lashes were given. All
these things are done without any
warrant Of law, by connivance be-
tween the planters and the local au-
thorities.
The grand jury, for some reason
did not return indictments against
the offenders, but recommended that
presentments be made at the next
term of court The evidence GER
tainly justifes the court in issuing
bench warrants for the twenty plant
erS named by the grand jury as the
worst offenders.

st. Louis is in the throes of a
great municipal campaign, and as
there are a great number Of colored
voters there, and as colored voters
always take an active intrest in poll
tics, they are making the campaign
most lively as well as interesting and
especially to those Republican candi-
dates, who, in the past, have not
treated the colored voters with that
amount Of respect and courtesy in
the division Of the political plums
and spoils that they consider they
should have received, and as a result
some of the candidates have been
prescribed by the colored leaders,
and a bitter factional fight among
the Republicans is being waged.

The colored brother, whether on
horseback or on foot, held quite a
conspicuous place in the line of
march at the Inauguration parade,
so comes the report. Mark Hanna
does not forget a favor or overlook
a bet very often, and he remembers
how prominently the colored broth
er stood by him in the line of march
to the polls last November, which
made it possible for President Nc
Kinley to be re-inaugurated, and 50
he saw to it that the compliment was
returned.

A new political club has been or
gained in Kansas City, Mo, among
the colored voters, and already each
member there of has been thorough
ly convinced that he is great politi-
cal race leader and trying to impress
the respective municipal candidates
for office with the idea that he car
ries the entire colored vote in his
vest pocket. AS has been so often
previously said in these columns.
there is altogether too much politics
among the colored people Of this
country. More business and less pol
titles would rebound more to theil
financial as well as social success.

The colored baritone of ST.
Georges church in New York City,
a Mr.. Burleigh, went to Albany one
day to sing at private musicale.
After it was over the baritone went
to nearby hotel, but was refused
admittance because of his color.
-Four other hotels were unwilling to
receive him. Coming back to the
house where he had sung he explain
ed his predicament. Gov. Roosevelt,
who had been one of the guests,
heard the conversation. "What's
that!" he roared. 'EHere, Burleigh,
you come with me. I'll see to it that
you get a bed" He drove to his
own home, gave the singer the best

before he went to bed that every AL
bany newspaper would announce the
next morning that Mr.. Burleigh had

During a recent visit to Chicago.
the metropolis Of the Middle West,
and second city in size in the Uni
ted States, it was learned that there
are at present very nearly 100000
colored folk in that city, all of whom
originally came from the Southern
states. These people on the whole
seem to be doing exceedingly well
financially and are being used for
common labor almost exclusively in
a number of the large packing
houses and other public works that
employ thousands of men each day.
They are being literally compensat-
ed for their labor, and owing to the
fact that living is cheap in that city
and rents low, they find it a very
easy mater to live far more comfort
ably than they could have ever done
in the South. Chicago is generally
considered the Negro heaven
throughout the entire South, and as
they often sing ''You may have all
this world, if you will give me hea-
ven," it is very apparent that they
are focking to their earthly heaven,
giving the other fellow everything
else outside of Chicago.
A Miss Josephine Jackson, Of Mis-
souri,, writes to local paper there,
and declares that the colored folks
of this country have passed through
three distinct stages Of existence:
"First, slavery, with pity for their
suffering. Second, emancipation,
with political fitness and sympathy
for their weakness and ignorance.
Third, citizenship and political toll
Grafton" Those are all very apt di-
visions as well as illustrations Of the
Negro since he has been in this
country, and he has lived through
them all, politically speaking, and if
he will only continue on the road
that he is now travelling he will even
tually reach the goal Of racial great
ness.

The Schley Inquiry.

Greatly to the surprise of nearly every
one the findings of the Court of Inquiry,
given to the public last week, were adj
verse to Adm raj Schley That is the re-
port of the II ajority members of the conf
mittee-Admirals Bernham and RAM
sey-was against Schley, while the
minority report of Admiral Dewey was a
complete vindication of the hero OF
Santiago.
The majority members, neither OF
whom has had any experience i'll modern
naval warfare or the handling of modern
men-of. war, find Schley guilty of dilator-
mess, vacillation and lack of enterprise;
while Dewey, the hero of Manila, whose
practical knowledge in the skilful man.
oeuvring of squadron equipped for wal
has been so decisively demonstrated, be-
slows upon the gallant Marylander the
highest commentator, declaring him &c
have been the "senior officer off Santiago
in acutal command and entitled to the
credit due to the glorious victory which
resulted in the total destruction of the
Spanish ships"
Thus we have the majority report rep
resenting the opinion of the minority Of
the people, and the minority report-the
report of the member in whom the public
imposes every con6dence-representing
the opinion of the large majority of the
people.
1t needed not this majority report to
prove the existence of clique or con-
spiracy among certain officers of the
navy and department to strip Schley Of
his we'll earned laurels. and Admirals
Bernham and Ramsey show their sub
servience to this powerful com oination by
handing in a report to his detriment
While Dewey, with characteristic blunt
ness, has refused to be influenced by
other than his own convictions of right
and Justice, and, as he cut the cable at
Manila to prevent interference and have
affairs i'll his own hands, SO has he again
severed connections with departmental
influence and given to the public an
honest expression of his views, based
upon the evidence adduced during the
sittings of the Board.
The Court recommends that in view Of
the time which has elapsed since the San
tiago occurrence, no further proceedings
be had. Admiral .Schley's fr ends in the
House and Senate have introduced res
olutions reciting that Admiral Dewey S
finding is the real finding, and is so ac-
cepted by the people through their
representatives.

LOOSE BUYERS TO MEET,
Strong Probability That They Will After Al,

The Loose Tobacco Association of
hichn'onu Will hold meeting at 1880
clock this morning at the Offices of
Messrs. l.. Q. NoltinS's Sons & Co. No.
100 east Cary Street. The meeting is
caiiea ior the purpose of deciding lust
what method the association will pur-
sue IN securing the adoption by the
Trade a. its meeting next Monday of
certain bylaws governing the sales of
loose tobacco in the warehouses; and
:lso Just what the association will ask
these bylaws will be.
There appears to be strong proba-
!,iiity that the buyers Will. after all,
allow themselves to be taxed the cents
recently removed after a severe fight
with the warehouses One Of the most
prominent members of the association
said yesterday evening that he thought
if the warehouses could show to the
satisfaction OF the buyers that they
could not exist without this revenue, the
association would be disposed to allow
the old conditions to be reinstated He
said after all this was not the real issue
