But this is no place to argue the
right or wrong, moral or political
ethics of such al situation.
The plain facts are, tnat finding it
expedient. indeed almost a vital
necessity, the South has disfran-
chised the bulk of it's negro popu-
lation. Because 1t has been
allowed to do SO without interfer-
ence, it has congratulated itself
that the North, East and West
approved, or at least winked at it,
and had abandoned the negro to
his fate. But this fancied security
will not last. If the negro race
were really hopeless of civilzia-
ton or fitness for citizenship there
would be but little to say. The
mass of them appear to be SO, tits
true, but there are negroes and
negroes. 1t is as absurd to confuse
and confound their best and
highest and worst and lowest to-
gether on the same plane as it
would be to try to confound the
best and worst of any other race. !
No fiat Of any Legislature will ex-
tinguish the influence or activity |
of man like Booker Washing
ton. In q political sense, he is
the foremost man Of the South to-
day-the voice to which the head
of the nation listens as attentively
as to any other within the Union.
This same head of the nation is q
fearless and conscientious man,
and honest. Ii his views differ at
times from those of southern peo-
Pile, it is unfortunate for the
people. If Mr., Roose-
velt supports the measure for re- !,
duction of southern representa-
lion st will produce a storm of ex-
scratlon to which the dinner in
,ident was q trife. But it is alb {
'urd to tax the president with +,
,ancorous hatred of the South.
Allow, rather, some broader, bet
er motive IN the man. If it were I
possible for southern man to r
ee with the eyes of a northern or t
western Republican, it might even I
.ppear that there was color of 3
ustice in the claim. We cannot a
at cake and have 1t too. Such Il
stand on the part of the presi- C
ent is foreshadowed, and it Il

fanatics and unprincipled dema-
gogues; and, possessed like the
swine OF Gadara, finally rushed
down with them into predestined
and inevitable defeat and hu.
initiation.
Now, when the results of that
notable collaboration were made
manifest, it became apparent that
the South mad votel in a solid
body for western popullsm, while
the West remained safely Repub-
lican! The South, deceived and
duped, had not even been allied
WI b the West, but only with GER
tain OF its irresponsible and IN
representative political elements.
Since that time this section has
been rather leary of western al
liances. 1t Is only too plain that
even when we embraced its popur
lism all the counting was done by
us; and that, in fact the intol err
ance and even enmity of the West
toward the South is more bit
and unreasonlng than that of the
East.
To cure the West of Bryanism
and free silver, it seemed only
necessary fDr the South to ADOPT
them. Indeed, it seems to be nee
essary only for the South to es-
pouse any belief, to express any
desire, to hold any faith or in
splration, to assure the consollda-
lion of the rest of the country in
opposition.
Politically, the last election in
iicates that. the present situation
s simply the solid South arrayel
against the solid remain der of the
nation.

Poor old Ireland. the land of saints
and sages, famed in song and story for
religious zeal, adherence to It's faith,
bravery of its manhood, chastity and
sanctity of its womanhood, is once
more undergoing the ordeal of perSe-
cution at the hands of that toothless
and ruthless old hag, England. No
sooner had this world famed persecut-
or washed her hands of the blood OF
the noble and heroic Beers than she
directed her malignant attention to
"Old Erin" by imprisoning her noblest
sons, sitting the freedom of speech and
muzzling the press of the country,
which reflects the true feelings and
sentiments of the people, and which il
the only real genuine and true med
ium OF conveying to the world the
well wishes and needs Of the people.
This oldtime plunderer and rObber,
true to her traditional and piratical in
stincts, covering period Of over eight
hundred years, renews her thievish
and murderous methods by incarcerat-
ing the Best blood and brains Of the
country 10 order to exact the exorbi.
tant and extortionate demands OF the
tax collector and the landlord. Not
satisfied with reducing the peasantry |
and laborer to pauperism by coercive |
measures prohibiting the establishing
OF factories, and thereby deprlving the |
wage Garner of the opportunity OF sup
porting himself and family, she i'm
prisons the legitimate representatives
or the people Of Erin, because they
have the courage Of their convictions
and express themselves accordingly in
the House of Commons and in the
presence of "Old Granny Balfour," !
Waose career promises to be as Iinfa-
nous as that OF "Castlereagh.
The long list Of martyrs which adorn
he patriotic history of Ireland does
lot seem to be yet filed, there is room
or more, and her loyal sons are ALWAYS
'eady to fill the breach made vacant
y her honored martyred sons. Whv
england should prosecute race that
las stood by her in many trying or
leals is as mystifying as inexplicable.
Ter best genei ais and SCI Tiers are
lrawn from the bosom of Erin and her
,est statesmen and and iurists are I
lrawn from the same source. Her
NellingtOns, Wolseleys and Napiers. bv

er immortal fame and glory. Her

rnese were practically the opening re-
marks OF Captain Carlton Mccarthy, who
made a magnificent address before the
Clay Ward actiyes last night on the sub
ject Of Municipal Government
A fairly good sized crowd greeted the
distinguished orator. though the inclum-
cncy OF the night kept a great many
members and visitors away. Captain
alecaathy was In fine trim. It was the
frst time he had appeared III public
since his famous campaign for mayor.
and while he treated his great subject
Tor the most part as a matter OF pTir-
c5pie, yet he could not refrain from tak-
ing one or two cracks at his old an

lie did not call the name OF any man
In his discourse, but spoke III Gicnitled
and eentlenlatiay manner, dealing all tho
while with Issues rather than men. tscp-l
TAN Mccarthy spoke from notes, but
with the utmost deiibeT3tion, now and
then dropping his papers and launching
into some really beautiful fights OF
oratory.
ANXIOUS no HEAR.
He had the closest attention OF his
audience and often when T.e had spoken
too long there were cries OF ego on.
lie drew some striking comparisons be-
tween the government of cities in the
old country and here and said the great
trouble In America lay In the fact that
there We're too many legislative restIic-
tons upon those In authority. He urged
that the last hope of good municipal
government was in the activity OF all
the citizens and said that those who
staid away from the polls on election
day had no right to complain OF the bad
management of their affairs. lie de-
claied that II was not SO much ques-
ton of dishonesty as incompetency in
Richmond municipal affairs. and said
this resulted from lack OF proper inter
est On the part of the voters. And the
suggestion emphasized by The speaker
was that metropolitan conditions would
not come IN. a day. but that any marked
Improvement IN municipal affairs must
come after long years OF labor and pa
tent waiting.
