THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

Many newspapers are having
much to say on the so called "Negro
Problem" the discussion be-
ing caused Immediately by
recent address OF DIR. Winston be-
fore the American Academy OF Polit
ical and Social Science. Briefly stat
ed, the two conditions laid down by
DIR. Winston as necessary to the
betterment of the negro and to
more friendly understanding be.
tween him and the white people are:
l. The elimination OF the negro
from politics.
2. The increased efficiency Of the
negro as laborer.
There is much truth Ia what DR..
Winston says; indeed, we take it no
one will question that in general
way what he says is true. The lat
ter proposition would be a truism
about any race.
The former proposition is no
doubt instigated by the recent
political events. The greatest
trouble about the negro in politics
has not resulted directly from the
real fact that the negro was given
the right to vote. but from the use
that politicians have made o. the
so called negro cry in order to
arouse race prejudice and put them
selves In office.
As we have said many times, we
think the acknowledgements of the
negro was q blunder and that we
would have opposed 10, but the %.
servation we now desire to make is
tn, those who are having 80 much
to say about the necessity of the ne
gro getting out Of politics are great
extent guilty Of creating unpleas-
ant conditions for partisan pur-
poses (not referring now especially
to d.. Winston, but more to the
newspapers that have commented
upon his article), and In the next
place these men have originated
and advocated an unconstitutional
scheme to accomplish that result,
and monstrously magnified what
ever evils there were In the sltua.
ton to accomplish their unconstitu
tional and partisan design. So fal
rs North Carolina ia cerned,
there never has been "negro domi.
nation" and there never would
have been.
But be that as 1t may, 1t is nc
doubt, better for the negro himself
that he be less In politics, and 1t ID
very probable that his Industrial
and educational condition to-day
would have been much more ad
vanced II he had never been en-
franchised.
In closing we beg the opportunity
TO say that DR.. Winston's article II
well worth reading.

We notice that one, James Haffi-

mons, are now Boosting that their
tools, the indicted registrars, could
never have been convicted and that
they have never had any fears. If
this is true, why were there 80 many

the registrars made condition ~

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
WAS THERE A BARGAISt

We. notice a suggestion In certain
quarters that the cases against the
Democratic registrars were nolle
pressed a the result Of bargain or
understanding that this should be
done IL the judges were not convict
ell. We do not care TO believe that
there was any such bargain or UNI
Outstanding, and II there was, we
are satisfied that the judges them
selves were not parties to II and
never would have consented TO such
proposition. 1t is SANDER on
them to suggest such thing.
However, If such bargain was
made by any enc it is disgraceiul
performance. In the first place, the
attempt to convict the judges was
not only a piece Of base PARTISAN
ship, but Is was begun with even a
lower motive, no doubt, which may
have been to try to force trade by
which the cases against the regis
trars would be nolle pressed. In
deed, we have some reason to be-
lieve that such was the purpose, and
we have reason to further believe
that there was an additional purpose
inspired by hungry Office greed t.
get the judges out in order thai
some members Of the Democratic
political machine might got int
their places.
Having failed to make trade OF
this basis, the trial of the judge
was proceeded with, and Mr.. Sim
mons and his machine, as Is wei
known, did everything in thei
power to try to convict them. In
deed, Mr.. Simmons himself wa
frequently seen comforting with tn
jurymen who had to pass upon tn
case In way and manner tina
would have been more than que.
tionable in the case of an ordinar
jury. The jury In the impeachmer
case was the highest and most in

seems to be admitted even by Il
machine that these Democratic reg
trars were guilty; and hence the
great uneasiness. But even If tn
were innocent, they should ha
stood trial as the judges did.
