THE NEGRO IN MARYLAND.

The platform adopted by the Demo-
cratic State Convention of Maryland
on Thursday means that if the Demo-
Gratis are successful in the. next state
election law will be enacted practical
ly eliminating the negro from politics
in that state. There are $4,000 negro
voters in Maryland, and if it were not
for the negro vote the Democrats
would carry the state by an over
whelming majority.
Most of the negroes are illiterate,
and it is the opinion of the Democratic
leaders that the best interests of the
whole people require that the control
of public affairs shall be in the hands
of the intelligent white voters.
The issue in Maryland politics, there
fore, in the present campaign, is
whether or not the ballot shall be
taken from those who are illiterate.
According to our dispatches yesterday.
the proposition is to limit the ballot to
those who can read and write. This
would rule out some of the white voters,
but the great majority of those who
would be deprived of the elective fran
chise are black voters.
One great complaint that has been
made against the negro recently is that
the Republican school boards. under
the influence of negroes. have been inn
porting negro teachers from Massachu-
sets, Ohio and Colorado-teachers who
have brought with them ideas that are
not acceptable in Maryland. A leading
Democrat of Baltimore was quoted a
day or two ago as saying that there
are in Maryland educated negroes
enough to meet the demand for
negro teachers. and that there
is no necessity whatever for GO
ing to other states for them
The importation of negro teach
ers seems to be the chief factor in the
movement TO take the ballot away
from illiterate negroes.
Evidently with such an issue the
campaign is going to be a lively one
It is a safe assertion that every negro
vote will be polled by the Republicans
But on such an issue it is probable
that many Republicans will vote with
the Democrats. The understanding is
that there is a large number of Re-
publIcans who think the state would be
better off II its negro citizens were kept
out of politics altogether.

CUBA's DEMAND FOR COTTON
GOODS

Our Southern cotton mills are max
ing extraordinary efforts to sell their
products in China. Why is 1t that they
make no effort to sell them in Cuba.
Is not this class of the trade of Cuba
worth having? 1t must be or England,
France, Germany and Spain would not
be making such efforts to hold on to it.
In the year 1900 Cuba imported cotton
goods worth more than s6,000,0 900 OF
this trade England got 81, 965. 307 worth,
Germany $341,753 worth, France 1851, =
S73 worth and Spain s1,6O5,745 worth
The United States got only s42O,142
worth.
And Cuba is almost within sight of
the United States! Is ii not strange
that having the raw material and the
mills they are are able to get no larger
share of Cuba's trade in cotton goods
This condition of affairs shows that the
United States do not seek this trade,
or else there is a feeling in Cuba
hostile to Americans.
There is no reason why there should
be a hostile feeling. The Americans
There ought therefore to be among the
Cubans the most kindly feeling for
Americans.
The difficulty doubtless is that there
is no effort to meet the demands of the
Cuban trade Cuba has been accus-
mansions, patterns and weight and
packed in accordance with certain
rules. Her merchants are willing TO
pay more for fabrics manufactured
and packed as they want them. There
fore our merchants thus far have not
been able to get much of percentage
OF the cotton goods trade of the island.
1t would seem as If our manufac-
turers here in. the South would send
agents to Cuba and find out just what
the Cuban trade demands, and then
comply with these demands. In other
words. they should make a speciality of
that trade. II is folly to let a trade
worth 100000 year go to Europe
when 1t could be easily had by our
own merchants and manufacturers.
We are talking all the time of the
necessity for having wider markets for
the products of our factories, but we
do not seem to be making the most
of our opportunities. We ought to
practically monopolize the trade of
Central and South America, but, as a
matter of fact. we get very little of it.
The bulk of it goes to European coun-
tries. If we want trade we must work
for it. 1t will not come 10 us simply
because we are the greatest nation in
the world.

INDIAN TEACHERS NOT FROM
INDIA.

A call made by the Secretary of War
who had made a success In teaching
our Indians, for service in the Philip
pines, led an inquirer to send to New
York newspaper a communication ask
ing why the government found it nee
essary to send to India for Mohamme-
dan teachers for certain of the inhab-
itants of the Philippines when 1T
thought that Protestant teachers of
any streak were good enough to teach
Catholic Filipinos.
1t seems that this inquirer had the
impression that the government had
AS a matter of fact 1t had done moth
ing of the kind. AS already stated, 1t
had asked for teachers who had had
experience in teaching Indians on our
plains in the West.
II is stated that the government is
doing its utmost TO divorce church and
state in the Philippines. According TO
the information given out it has been
impartial in it's selection of teachers.
Educational institutions in all parts of
the country, Catholic and Protestant,
have been asked to name certain
number Of teachers for service in the
Philippines. 1t is not proposed to teach
religion in the public schools of the ISL
ands. but 1t is probable that the teach
ers of the school will exert a certain
amount of religious influence.

mn sH.FFER MAKE A MIsrAKEr

1t is difficult TO understand just what
the situation of the steel workers
strike is, but II begins to look as IL
the strikers had lost the fight into
which they entered so boldly and with
such promise of success. 1t is
known of course that Mr.. Shaffer, the
president of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, visited New York and had a
conference with Mr.. Morgan, the head
OF the United States Steel Corporation,
and that he carried back to Pittsburg
a proposition TO the advisory board of
the Amalgamated Association to which
he had practically given his approval.
If the Association should accept this
proposition the strikers would gain
practically nothing, and eventually
might lose a great deal.
One report is that the advisory board
criticised President Shaffer severely.
going so far as to threaten to call for
his resignation. Be that as it may, it
is certain that Mr.. Morgan's propo-
sition was not looked upon with favor.
and a request was made to him TO
modify it in several important particu-
lars, which if reports are true. he de-
clined to do.
What the outcome of the strike will
be cannot now be foreseen, but it looks
as If the United States Steel Corpor-
alton would not yield to the demands
Of the strikers. 1t is in a better po-
sition than the strikers thought 1t
would be. In the first place, though it
is a trust-the greatest trust in the
world-it has as much of the sympathy
of the public as the strikers have, and
for this reason: The Amalgamated AS
sociation, after its scale for the union
mills had been signed, demanded that
the same scale be signed for the nom
union mills. 1t thought itself strong
enough TO enforce this demand. 1t
seems it was mistaken. The public did
not approve this demand, it looked up
on 1t as an arbitrary use of its power,
and therefore the Amalgamated Asso-
citation has not been able to get as
many men out of the mills as it ex-
pected to. And it hesitates to call out
men from other mills for fear that it
will disclose a weakness that would be
fatal to its contention.
Therefore it looks as if il would have
to declare the strike off or continue the
strike indefinitely. But it seems that
the corporation is operating some of
its mills that are making the same
kind of goods made by mills that have
been closed by the strike, and many of
the strikers are reported to be show
ing a restlessness that indicates that
they are inclined to go back to work.
The Amalgamated leaders also expect
ed that there would be big drop in
the shares of the United States Steel
Corporation. In this they have been
disappointed. There appears to be
vast amount of capital behind the
corporation for keeping up the price
of the shares. 1t is no doubt the wish
of the whole country that the strike
shall be speedily settled satisfactorily
to both sides. Such an outcome would
be followed probably by an adjustment
of the differences between capital and
labor in other parts of the country.

For n Minute.

During the siege of Mafeking, says
the Chicago News, the trenches had
grown very close to each other: in
fact, SO near that conversations coald
be shouted across the intervening
space. An Englishman called out:
Hey say! One of you Beers stand
up and I'll take a photograph of you
Have you got a camera?" came back
the reply in good English.
Yes"
"On your honor?"
Yes"
you won't shoot me If stand up,
upon your word?''
mo. we won't shoot"
Pass 1t down along the line"
The word was passed down the line
and soon it was shouted back that it
was all right. At that a young Boer
about % rose out of the trenches and
stood buttoning his packet in full view.
Strengthening his six feet three inches
he smiled pleasantly and said to- the
Englishman with the camera, who had
now stood up:
How will you have it?"
Turn little more sideways. There!"
Click.
Thanks"
Send me a picture" called the
young Boer as he jumped back into the
trenches.
What name?'' asked the photogra-
pher
'Pretorius," came the answer.
Nothing showed now above the
ground for few minutes, and then one
of the Englishmen lifted his hat on a
stick and promptly got a bullet
through it.
