IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Si-: There exists a determined purpose on the
part OF the South 10 disfranchise the negroes This
purpose is undisguised and is boldly advocated I'm
private and I'm public life, i'm the legislative halls OF
the Southern States and In the Congress Of the
Nation. Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina
led the assault against the political rights and
privileges OF the negro. and through constitutional
conventions have succeeded in practically annulng
within their bounds the Fifteenth Amendment
Other States are following their example II has
long since been apparent 10 every thoughtful mind
that this purpose 10 disfranchise the negro in the
South is fixed and settled. The declaration has gone
forth that far possible every negro is to be
disfranchised, but no white man. except for crime.
The question might be asked. What crime? ANY
pretext will disfranchise the negro will require
any number Of reasons to disfranchise white

There was hope in the hearts Of the negroes that
the Republican party would stay this tide Of open
lawlessness practised against them, and refuse to
allow the Constitution OF the United States to be
ruthlessly trampled upon. but adverse decision
after another has been handed down from the Su-
preme Court. and contest after contest has been
decided against him in Congress- giving the seat 10
the Democratic contestant who had secured the
election certificate as the immediate result OF this
disfranehising system. proving the hope baseless
Guaranteed rights and privileges under the Con-
stitution proved 20 be such only in name

RACE PROBLEM In THE SOUTH.
WILL DLsFRANCHLsEMENT OF THE NEGRO PROVE TO
BE ITS SOLUTION?
VIEWS OF SOUTHERN EDITORS ON THE QUESTION

should be circulated in all those regions where
Republican notions budding or in an in
cpient state. The Republican leaders in every
Southern State ought 10 see 10 this. but as most
Of them thinking only Of their selfish in
terests, any such enlightened project will have

opinion that no such field exists to-day for a
Republican paper of National standing like The
Tribune as IS 10 be found in this State and in
other sections OF the South. All that is neces-
sary in order TO secure subscribers is the knowl-
edge that such paper can be had each week for
81 a year.

be invaluable while the information IL contains

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: do not believe that the disfranchsement OF
the negroes will eliminate the question from
politics and that il will rapidly be followed by
breaking up of the solid South
My reasons for this belief may be summed up
follows: The agitation I'm States like Mississippi.
Louisiana and South Carolina. where constitutional
conventions have performed the task, stamps out
all hope of such a wished for millennium
The OF the solidty may be tracedlto slavery
and antedates the bestowa of the right of suffrage
upon the black man. Certainly then. it is
sOnable to presume that of the subsidiary
suits OF disease, upon its removal would the
ailment from which the patient is suffering.
While the negroes regarded by some as
an incubus upon the growth of the Southern section
their annual value to the South and to the Nation
may well be computed upon the basis of their labor.
The value of the corn wheat oats and cotton
be measured by the wealth which he has accumu-
lated during the last thirty years
The South s not solid because of the negro fran
chise. The vision of negro supremacy has passed
away forever. and with the State governments in
the hands OF the Democratic leaders all hope of
negro supremacy is absurd.
The States referred to having eliminated the
negro as political factor even more strongly
Democratic than before and laugh any attempt
TO disturb their political authority by the doubtful
expediency of turning back the hands upon the

You say it is not needed because there five

whole State taken collectively it is very different
when We make "a careful survey of the returns
from each county. For example. there is only about

Sir: Your letter asking my views 10 the proba-
bity Of eliminating the question from politics
by the dsfranchisement of the negro and it's
effect the breaking up of the SOLID South is
received In reply allow me to say that the race
question south Of Mason and Dixons line is the
dominant issue.
1t is taking precedence of every other consIdera-
tion. The consensus of public opinion is rapidly
growing among white people both Democratic and
Republican. in the South in favor of the establish
ment OF a white Republican party. The race prob
lem involves questions which have been the ire
pressible conflict OF the and will be until
tied by some honorable process that shall do equal

Whether IT shall about through the disfran-
chisement OF the coored and going back on
the pledges made by the Republican party 10 the
negroes after the war or through some other pO-
tical change Is the all important question of the
hour.
The chief factor in assisting most 10 break the

policy Of the Republican party. The election Of
Mr.. Mckinley four years ago and his reelection
last year have had a powerful effect IN changing
the Democratic sentiment toward Republcanism in

Gov. Dole Refuses to Extend the ses-
sion Beyond the Limit.


HONOLULU, April rs tvia San Fran.
cisco, May 5).-Gov. Dole has refused to
extend the session Of the legislature. al
though he was requested to do SO by both
houses In a letter to the senate, an
swering it's request for thirty days more
time in which to complies the legislation;.
the executive says that the session has
been q waste of time aid money and he
had no confidence that an extension
would result in anything better. The
county government bill has passed the
senate and is now in the governors hand,
though it was passed so hurriedly that
some of it's seconds said they do not ex-
pect the governor to sigs it.
A law imposing a 2 pes cent tax ON in
come, with $1,000 only exempt has also
gone to the executive. A bill to give the
eX-queen $25,000 from the treasury, and
bill appropriating S145,00O for payment
of claims growing out of the fire in
Chinatown during the plague quarantine,
have both passed, finally in the house,
and the latter has been approved by the
senate.
United States Judge Estee has rem.
dered decision that the Hawaiian law
requiring special stamps to be affixed to
deeds and other documents is const4tu-s
tional, The matter was brought before
the judge on the plea that a territory
could not impose a stamp tax, the Issue
being made in case where legal docu-
mentS necessary to transfer of land
required $1,5O0 worth of stamps.
