Closer Union

Philips, vicar of Confession, near Var

ment by permitting Mrs. Brown Pot
ter to recite from his pulpit in June,

startling scheme for a close union of
the church and stage in the cause of
religion. He proposes that each par
ish maintain a theater under the man
agement of the church. In an out
spoken interview the clergyman says:
"Clergymen overdo the religious side
of life, thereby running the spiritual
liver, like that of overfed Strasburg
geese"
The plan of Rev Mr. Philips In
cludes a revival of the mystery plays
of the Middle Ages. and the establish
ment of a sort of Oberammergau So
ciety in each parish.

All Ihi. q 10 All Men.

The Washington correspondent tell US
that Henry Neal, Speaker Henderson S
90, ed messenger, has coupled his pres
ant PISTON ever since his appointment
by Mr. Randall. Then he said he hailed
rom Pennsylvania, and as succeeding
pea .ers we're chosen he promptly
changed his birthplace TO the various
-tates from which they came. It rather
stumped him when he was informed thai
Mr.. Henderson was a native of Scot
/ nd, but he compromised by declaring
himself a resident Of Iowa. On March
tth next he will doubtless transfer his
allegiance to Danville, III. He has hard
ever been out OF Washington in his
lie.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1902-12-31

The question which this correspondent
discusses Is how far the National Repub
can party and the party in the indi-
lit:uaI Northern States would be affected
the negro vote should be diverted tc
he Democratic party. Ever since the wa
re negroes have voted in a body and
.lways with the Republicans, whether a;
he South or at the North. 1t was always
afc for the Republicans to count each
mo every negro voter for their side.
The Suns correspondent says that what
yer changes might have resulted from q
otal elimination OF the negro vote prior
o 1876, It is quite obvious from the above
able that It's elimination would have
,ad no effect upon the result Of the last
NO Presidential elections. and that II
not likely that it would have had any
feet upon the political complexion OF
he House OF the Senate. although il
aight have lost the Fifty-eighth House
the Republicans.
But it is quite clear" he goes on
hat If the negroes OF the North in mass
l,ouli abandon their present allies anc
. over to the Democrats. the long 'un-
Interrupted Republican Domination in sey
raj States would at once cease. and il
9ouid become very precarious in as many
acre. Such a sweeping political reaction
not looked for by either party. But
he negroes and general assumption
,mong Republican leaders that the fghi
yer the lilly white appointments al
lie South is being carefully managed by
he Democratic leaders. more with view
0 shake the allegiance OF the Northern
segroes than to vincicate white sup-e12-
" at the South. It is apparent that
>cpubIican successes in Delaware, Mary
nd, West Virginia and Kentucky have
zen wholly dependent upon the negro
cite"
He also points out that the secession
rom the Republicans by the negro vote
7 New York would have defeated Roose
cit for Governor in 1855 and v.ell If
he last election.
These statements and figures are inter
sting. We confess that it is a new line
political thought to US. We had no.
crerded the negro vote as q factor il
ny of the Northern States, and had
sstainly not looked upon it as holdin.
he balance Of power as between the Re.
ublcan and the Democratic party. TIL
'un's correspondent makes it very clear
owever, that the negro vote in Some
Il the doubtful States CT the North i
| matter OF prime Importance to tn.
republicans, and that being the case !.
not strange that the Republican LEAD
rs should be considerable OF their dark
l-ianed allies. The negro vote in tn,
iouth has been a hindrance rather than
clip to the Republican party. but the
.eero vote in some of the Northern Dor.
. er States Is a different proposition
