about the sale, the State Department
will probably ask the Danish Government
for an explanation.
The treaty was signed by direction of
the present Liberal Ministry. 1t was, with
its predecessor, the Conservative Minis
try, that Christmas claims to have
made a bargain by which he was to re-
ceive 10 per cent of the purchase price Of
the islands If he succeeded in effecting a
sale.
1t is understood that the State Depart
ment's response to the investigating
committees questions as to the alIega-
tions of Christmas and Representative
Richardson Of Tennessee will be, in sub
stance, as follows:
Christmas was never recognized as an
official agent of the Danish Government
by the department.
He was never accredited by the Sec
rotary of State to the United States EN-
bassy in London, as claimed by Repre-
sentative Richardson on the floor of the
House.
The State Department did not know
until within the past week. or since Gron
gave information about Christmas state
ments to newspapers, that any charges Of
bribery had been made.
The department, il is understood also,
will deny that the conclusion of the Dam
ish treaty was brought about through the
exercise of any improper influence, by the
use of money, or by any other means
than direct negotiations between the Gov
ernments of the United States and Den
mark.

STATE OFFICIALS SILENT.
Decline to Comment on the Statements
in Christmas Report.

In view of the action of the House in
directing an enquiry into the statement
made in the report of Christmas, officials
of the State Department declined last
evening to make any comment in regard
to the subject. They held that it would
be manifestly improper TO do so.
The department will at once begin the
collection of all the communications re-
lating to Christmas and the Danish West
Indian transfer negotiations, and Will
have copies prepare for submission to

PROSECUTING THE SOUTH.
Atlanta Constitution.

Since the passing of the reconstruc-
ton era the republican party has
been coquetting with the south with
the intent to make a breach in its
adamantine solidity for democracy.
With the inevitable evolution of this
section from we'll nigh exclusive agri-
culture to industrial activities, the
party OF negro equality and force
bills thought it saw its opportunity
in the tariff, but protection prose
lytes were few in the south, as evil
denced by election returns, however
strong a moral support OF that
policy may have developed in certain
manufacturing communities. Save
in the case of West Virginia. which is
only quasi-southern, the republicans
made no appreciable protection in
roads upon the solid SOUTH
III the financial question, of later
development, they thought to bring
to bear another battering ram, but
southern democracy stood mistaken
in 1896 and 1900. In the meantime
has come the high tide of trust ''pros-
perity," and acting on the presump-
ton that it has swept a lot OF sub
| stantial sOutherners Off their party
| feet, the republican party determined
to seize its supposed opportunity.
| The cOlOred brother stood in the
way After his Waterloo in the Old
| North State, Senator Pritchard
pointed out the impossibility of
vitalizing the republican party in the
south without democratic defections,
and the hopelessness of PROSECUTING
| white men to a negro organization
was apparent.
The word was passed that the
negro had to take a back pew in the
republican party south, and state
after state below Mason and Dixon $
line proceeded to hustle him into the
vestibule at the republican cOnven-
tiOns. Alabama was the latest. and
already we hear of a thorough or
ganization of white republicans at
Birmingham, composed very largely,
it is boosted, of business men and
manufacturers. There is doubtless
an element of truth in this, for it is
we'll understood that the past decade,
and particularly its latter hall, has
| witnessed a considerable influx OF
northern immigration in the indus
trial canters OF the south, which ,.npi-
talistic class, with its white depend
ents, naturally will continue to stand
for republican policies. With such Il
nucleus, and the negro for the pres
ent i'll the background, the national
republicans hope to win over south
ern-born captains of industry, manu-
factrers, bankers, merchants, and
the more prosperous element general
| ly, and through the efforts of this
solid white phalanx wedge the demo
cracy of the south asunder.

liant one, but practicalIyit ispuerile

THE EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO.
Scotland Neck CommOnw wealth

Scotland Neck Commonwealth.
BY the very stroke and fnger-tOuch
of Gods power there is an inefface-
able difference between the races of
men. This difference, stamped upon
the races far back in creations gray
dawn, still speaks OF the mysteries OF
Gods purposes; and study the mat
ter as we may, no man will ever be
able to know why God made the
races OF men so different.
This race distinction has been more
accumulated between the white man
and the negro than between any
other races. Besides the general
differences III other particulars their
color is positively different. BY
reason of some ones shit is now
too late to raise that question-there
has come upon the people of the
country, and especially the South, a
solution, and that problem is be-
tween the white man and the negro
An emancipated race abused by
the power OF government with the
sovereignty of the ballot they have
been q menace to the quiet and hap
piness of the people of the South for
more than third OF Il century, We
say abused with the ballot. because
we verify believe that had the negro
been left to work out his destiny in
this country without the ballot his
condition here today would be a
hundredfold better than it is
One of the troubles with which the
white people have been confronted is
the constitutional provision for the
public education of the negro, and
whether it is realized or not that
feature of our system of public edu-
cation is the greatest hindrance to
the free schools in North Carolina
and the South. And right or wrong.
liberal the views or contracted, the
white people of the South are going
to be slow to see it their duty to tax
themselves as heavily for the educa-
ton OF negro children as for their
own.
Where in North Carolina TODAY
can you find a community of white
people who are willing to be taxed
locally to supplement- the public
school money? You cannot find
many and this is the reason: Our
people feel that they have done we'll
enough in the education ofthe negro.
If We had a constitutional change
whereby there would be limit to
taxing OF the whites to educate the
blacks and leave them free to increase
taxes at their option for the educa-
ton of the white children. there
would be Il fresh wave of educational
enthusiasm all about US.
We believe shat Editor Bailey said
the biggest truth in the Biblical Re
corder that has been said about the
free schools for the negro when he
said: -Four months school is as
much as the white people can be ex-
pected to give the negroes; and it is
as much as the negroes will make

The Weakest Charge YET
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post
The Northern Republican papers
are now charging that trusts are
furnishing the Democrats with cam
paign funds. This is the weakest
charge they have fallen upon yet, and
shows how desperately demoralized
the party is getting. They pretend
that the trusts are offended with Mr.
Roosevelt and other Republican
leaders because OF their attitude to-
ward trusts and the tariff, and this
in the face of the Presidents propo-
sition to put off regulating the trusts
until he can get Il constitutional
| amendment which would destroy the
trusts, but which he knows he will
never live to see adopted and insists
| that the tariff must not be interfered
with until a commission OF ''eXperts"
| have examined into the matter and
agreed Oh such changes as ought to
be made; this, too, requiring several
years.
No. neither the trusts nor the
friends of the present >Dingley tariff
are in the least disturbed over Re-
publican interference; and will not,
therefore, exhaust their surplus funds
i'll aid of Democracy who will insist
SO soon as it gets the power to deal
with these great combinations and
this oppressive mesurein a way rs to
cure evils, destroy their burdensome
and unj lust features without endan-
gering Or iniuring the substantial
and legitimate business enterprise or
Industries OF the people.
Mr. kitchin, i'll his Greensboro
speech, as reported by The Telegram,
covers the true Democratic purpose
and policy correctly and forcibly
when he denied that the Democratic
party was against wealth. Not a
word of truth in the statement he
said with earnestnesS. He said Mr..
RoOsevelt's intimation at Cincinnati
that the Democratic party made an
indiscriminate assault against wealth
was utterly false. Neither was the
Democratic party against small cor
porations or big corporations. 1t is
not a contest against wealth that
the Democratic party is making. 1t
is a contest in behalf of justice as
opposed to injustice, of right as
opposed to wrong.
These who are opposed to this pur-
pose are not contributing to the
Democratic campaign fund.

1t is a wonder, indeed, that the
white people are willing to do as
much as they have done for the edu-
cation of the negro; and from the
outrages reported and the records of
our criminal courts it does seem that
the race is making very little i'm
prOvement.
The white people have already done
we'll for the education of the negroes
in North Carolina and can hardly be
expected to do more now.
