Mr.. Littlefield's Argument.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 beg leave to submit a few words in re-
ply through The Star that shines for all
to the speech delivered by Representative
Littlefield of Maine at the annual dinner
of the Congregational Club of this city,
given at the First Church Monday evening
and reported in part in Tuesdays Star.
Mr.. Littlefield, in my judgment, yields
the strong point of his eloquent address
northern friends made a mistake in enfran-
chiSing him. Had he said that the repub-
lican party made a mistake in reconstruct
ing the south before it had accepted the
results of the civil war, and before the
negro had become capable of approaching
the responsibility of citizenship, he would
have been nearer right than when he bases
the mistake upon the alleged lack of civil
this so-called blunder gave rise to ''Ku
KluXism," the tissue ballot and the grand
father clause also yields the strong moral
ground upon which his speech was other
wise pitched. He forgets that the "Ku
KluX Klan'' was organized to aSsassinate
northern white men who went south to
hold the offices and the southern white men
who affiliated with them. Ku Klux did not
waste their ammunition on such small
game as an inoffensive negro.
The learned New Highlander is mistaken
when he characteriZeS the freedmen as I'M
civilized. In his extenuation for the out
RACES of the Southerners, he charges them
with having within their households for
nearly ten generations a people whom they
had not reclaimed from the savage state.
This is certainly inferred sin of which
the southern white people are not guilty.
All their slaves had been by them re-
claimed from the savage state; some of
them had been introduced into the civility
of the manners of the masters and instruct
ed in the arts Of regular life generations
before the emancipation.
1t was not the lack of civilization of the
human
southern white man and his Anglo-Saxon
determination to rule or ruin and not to
submit to be governed by northern white
men elected by the ballots Of their former
slaves.
II Mr.. Littiefield can show that the pill
grim fathers and the Jamestown settlers
made a mistake in arming the negro and
sending him to do battle for the independ-
ence of this glorious country; IL he can
prove that President Lincoln and the party
Of freedom made mistake in enlisting
the negro to fight for the restoration and
the perpstuaton Of the Union, because, for

Ohio Repeats Garfield Law.

The Garfield law in Ohio, which aimed to
prevent corrupt practices at elections, was
wiped off the statutes yesterday by the
senate at Columbus passing the bill for its
repeal. The legislature was practically
unanimous for the repeal Of the measure,
the chief argument against it being that it
was Ineffective and that it placed a pre-
MUM on perjury.
The law sought to restrict the amount of
money which could be spent by candidates
to secure nomination or election by COM
pelling them to file sworn statement of
their campaign expenses. The law was gem
orally evaded, but there were few prosecu-
lions under it.

How many people when they marry
carefully put aside their joint love let

sessions Of their future life, and in
how many cases afterwafd do they
ever take them out and look at them?
Now, why is this: Partly perhaps
because the time of romance is over
