Mr.. White, congressman from North
Carolina, whose term is about to ex-
pire. is the only negro in congress, and
the next congress will have no member
of his race. With the suppression of
the black vote in the south the reap
pearance of the negro in the national
legislature is postponed indefinitely.
Mr.. White spoke very eloquentiy of his
race and their wrongs and struggles in
recent speech in the house. Among
other things, commenting on the fu-
ture of his fellow blacks, he said:
with all these odds against us, we
are forging our way ahead, slowly per-
haps. but surely. You may tie and
then taunt us for lack of bravery, but
one day we will break the bonds; you
may. use our labor for two and a half
centuries and then taunt us for our
poverty, but we will not always re-
the knowledge of how to read Gods
word and learn the way from earth to
glory, and then taunt us upon our
ignorance, but there is always plenty
of room at the top. and we are climb
ing. After enforced debauchery with
many kindred horrors incident to slav-
cry, it comes with ill grace from the
perpetrators of these deeds to hold up
the shortcomings of some of our race
to ridicule and scorn."

PERPETUAL DISFRANCHISEMENT
AS THE PENALTY FOR THE
CRIME OF BUYING VOTES.

In last nights dispatches there was
a suggestive one from The Herald's
correspondent at Austin. 1t referred
to the matter of the vote traffic on the
border. In this, Ell Paso is deeply in
terested. The problem is one that af-
fects every citizen, for it is due to the
traffic in votes that the democratic ring
is enabled to retain control in this
city.
The Herald discriminates between
the buying and selling of votes. Mr..
Reeves-County-C Clerk seems to think
that the Mexican who sells his vote
ought to be DISTINGUISHED or killed. 1t
is our deliberate opinion that the dras-
tic measures should invariably be APP
piled to the man that buys the vote.
not him who sells.
The man that sells his vote is usually
an ignorant fellow, unfamiliar with
the principles of our government, and
trained to regard his ballot as merely
a tangible asset. He cannot be ex-
pected to have any honor about it, for
he has never had the opportunity to
learn What inducement is there for
him to value his ballot as free mans
highest privilege?
In this city he sees all the machinery
of the law abetting the vote buyer. He
sees police officers in uniform at the
polls on election day, handing out dol
lars for votes. If he has been here
1ono ha rornouo re having seen grand
juries refuse to indict, and district at
torneys refuse to prosecute men
caught in the act of bribing voters.
His whole education has been toward
regarding his vote as his only to sell.
On the other hand, the man that
buys the vote knows better. He knows
the law, and he knows the demands
of ordinary honesty and decency. He
is conscious every single time he vio-
lates the law and debauches the ignor-
to the safety of society than is the
murderer or the forger. Yet in most
communities-El Paso is no exception
to the rule-he carries on his criminal
trade not only under the eyes of the
law, but with the aid and abettance of
the men paid by the community to en-
force the law.
A bill has just been introduced in
the Illinois legislature which provides
that any candidate for office paying,
or promising to pay, direct
ly or indirectly, any money, intoxicat-

ton and stand committed to the county
Jail until such costs and fine shall be
fully paid"
1t is impossible that any such law
could be enforced. 1t is too broad,
and the provisions about cigars and
liquors would fall fiat. The Texas leg
designed to prevent the use of money
or "other thing of value" to influence
voters, and to require candidates to
give an account of their campaign ex-
penseS. The latter provision has
proved to be a perfect farce in other
state, and should never be enacted in
to law here. A man who will violate
the law is not likely to regard his oath
seriously. and the provision could new
er be enforced SO as to be of use.
The main thing is that both these
laws are directed against the man who
buys the vote, not the seller. This is
a distinct step in advance. 1t is doubt
full if any law against vote selling
could be enforced in such community

could be and should be enforced to the
