He-she went into mysteries.

The alleged fear of Negro domino
ton is a mere bugbear used to scare
the ignorant whites. There never has
been any such thing and no such thing
is likely to ever be. There has never
been anything like a fair, equitable
share of the political plums given to
the Afro-Americans of the South, nor
of the North The white man wants
it all and that's the cause of the
trouble. In the South the voting
strength, made it possible for the
Afro-Americans to help themselves
to some of the things they wanted, so
the whites want to stop them from
voting and divide the plums among
themselves alone In the North, while
in many cases the Afro Americans ac-
tually hold the balance of power,
which they fail to use, they are grudg-
ingly given just enough sops to keep
them from open revolt Nothing is
ever settled until it is settled right,
so will it be with this "vexed prob
lem" and the sooner the whites, who
are the trouble breeders, come to this
conclusion the better for ALL =.

SATURDAY, MAY Is, 1901.

- 1t seems that some folks, actually,
can continue to make a statement
which is, and they know it to be, abb
solutely false, until they believe it
themselves. For instance, Gov. c. B.
Aycock, of North Carolina, in
speech made at the annual dinner of
the North Carolina Society in New
York the other day, said: "That the
suffrage law amendment to the con-
stitution of the state was not really
aimed at the Afro-American as an in
dividual." But the governor is wrong.
Suppose the legislature had made a
law that only red-headed men could
vote, would the auburn haired. white
haired, black-haired and blonde-haire
men believe that such a law was not
aimed at them? The fact is the
whites of the South, having the power
do so, have determined not to be
air to their Afro-American brothers,
under any circumstances.
It is understood that the main OBJ
ject of the Alabama constitutional
convention now in session is to frame
suffrage provision which will ex-
clude from voting just as many Afro
Americans as possible while affecting
as few whites as possible.

circles in Jersey City. were stirred
yesterday by the announcement that
the engagement between Miss Lizzie
Rector and DR.. Thomas Tucker Will

doctor had Negro blood in his veins.
Miss Rector refused to be seen by
any one, but DR.. Wilkerson said the
story was true: He said they became
engaged last fall and that no time had
been set for the wedding. Last
February Mrs. Rector asked him for
some particulars about his family.
Il told her the truth about it, said
he. II have some Negro blood in my
veins, not much, but just a trace. I
have never posed as anything but a
man and had no need to tell any one
that had even trace of Negro blood
in me, but when Mrs Rector asked
me, 1 thought she had right to
know. Then she and her daughter
decided to break the engagement, and

They are not going to have alto
gether smooth sailing in the Alabama
constitutional convention if there are
only a few delegates like General Will
liam c. Oates, who says:
THE suffrage clause should not in
terms, exclude any one from the cleo
tive franchise en- account of race, nor
require an educational or property
qualification, but intelligence and good
character should be made the test
And, in order that no Injustice be
done, an appeal should be given from
such decision to the courts. +
1.-THE disfranchisement of the whole
Negro race would be unwise and I'M
just The Negroes constitute large
majority of our state population
over 100000. Among them are many
honest, Industrious, and good citizens,
capable of understanding the issues of
a campaign. Such men are patriotic.
When volunteers are wanted to fight
our battles they furnish their quota
who will say that Booker Wash
ington, Council, Grant, Calhoun, and
hundreds of other citizens of Alabama
shall not vote if they choose? Shall
they be excluded merely because they
belong to the colored race? say,
no." ~
