THE NEGROES WORST ENEMY.
Wilmington Messenger.

Now that the first campaign under
the Acknowledgement Of the negro Is
over and we have returned to the
every day life of our severalindustrial
pursuits we expect to sec great ad-
vancement made in the condition OF
the negroes in our midst. Politics
was not intended for negroes and
wherever they dabble in it they inlure
themselves and retard their indus
trial development. The white Re
publican politician of the South has
been the greatest enemy the negro
has had since the days of emancipa-
ton. The negro and the white man
OF the South can get along very well
so long as the former keeps out OF
politics as a solid mass opposing the
wishes of the white people of these
States Now that his status politically
has been settled we look Orincreased
friendly relations between him and
his white neighbor and for rapid ad-
vancement in the material welfare OF
those colored men who accept the
situation and turn their attention
to acquiring property and educating
their offspring. The fact that the
white men, by the franchise amend
ment, have asserted their right to
rule this State should give the negro
no alarm as to the preservation OF
his legal rights Orfair and Just treat

Now that the Democrats have made
a clean sweep in the State, electing a
full delegation to Congress and four
fifths of the representatives i'll the
General Assembly, it behoOves the
party leaders to be careful and see to
it that State and county affairs are
administered in Il manner that will
prove beneficial to the public. Let
there be no radical legislation by the
legislature soon to assemble. no I'M
neccersary Offices established, no I'M
necessary increase OF taxation, and
lust us few new laws enacted us pos
sible While we are no advocate for
niggardliness. the very strictest econ
omy should be observed in both
State and county affairs. Commit
tees appointed to look after contracts
for both State and county affairs
should be composed of men who have
the interest of the tax payers at
heart, and they should be men who
will take the time and trouble to see
after public affairs with the same
care and attention that they give to
their own affairs. When men do this
a great saving can be made along
all lines, and State and county fin
ances kept in "a healthy condition.

Senator Ransom is now an old

persons think he is the most forceful

tied question in our mind. If he has
had any equal it was Willie p. Man

INLAND WATERWAY.
Congressman Small, of North Caro-
!. lima, to Garry Fight to Next Con-
gresS

Po,t.mouth Star
1t is probable that before Congress
assemblies, the Hon. John H. Small.
OF North Carolina. will come to
Portsmouth and Norfolk 70 consult
further with business bodies of these
cities regarding the purchase by the
Government of the Aibemarle, Chesa-
peake or Dismal Swamp canals or
both, for the purpose of completing
the free inland waterway along the
Atlantic Coast.
The Portsmouth Business Mems
Association has already gone on re-
cord as favoring a purchase of the
canals by the Government, regarding
such act us i'll the interest of the ex-
pansiOn of the commerce of this city
and port.
The rumor that the Norfolk and
Southern Railroad, owned by the
Vanderbilts, is after these properties
is persistent!y reiterated. and town
boatmen and the owners of the small
schooners trading through the
canals to Carolina sound points, fear
that in the event of such purchase
they would be practically driven out
of business by exhorbitant rates for
lockage. They do not hesitate to
assert that such purchase would be
only for the purpose of diverting the
freights now carried by water to
Norfolk and Southern points, to that
system. The rumor of the railway
company's intention has never been
denied.
In view of the fact that the shipping
public desires to protect itself by Sc
curing the passage of the bill that
was introduced some time ago in
Congress by Mr.. Small, and in view
of the further fact that the move
ment has powerful backing, not only
here, but in Baltimore, it will be
pushed with energy.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL"
A Strong and Timely Sermon Preached
by Rev. A. r. Shaw in the First
PRESBYTERIAN Church of Portsmouth.
News and Observer.

News and observer.
The Norfolk Public Ledger pub
fishes in full sermon preached on
Sunday by Rev. A. r. Shaw, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church i'll
Portsmouth, on ''The Eighth Com
mandment, emphasizing debt Pay
ing" 1t is an able, strong and Wig
orOus sermon and created a marked
IMPRESSION We regret that we have
not the space to reproduce it. From
the sermon. we make this timely eX-
tract:
NO one who rightly values civil
and religious liberty can view with
out alarm and Indignation the for
nation OF trusts, greedy corpora
tons, which have been justly styled
commercial cormorants and politi-
cal corruptionists." To these trust
promoters the command, ''ThOu shalt
not STEAL" is an empty, meaningless
Injunction. While it is maintained
that these vicious combines exist and
thrive under legal sanction, it is ull-
deniable that when regarded from a
moral point of view they are rotton
to the core. 1t is not my purpose,
neither is it my province, as minis
ter of the Gospel, to discuss the tariff
| as Il fOsterer OF trusts. | advert to the
subject as illustrative of an inOrdin
ate, Overmastering desire for the
quick accumulation of wealth"
In enumerating the ways in which
people are guilty of theft we make
room for only two, the two that are
altogether too common among peO
pie of wealth and education. The
| faithful aamOnition by Mr.. Shaw
ought to be read and needed:
Listing property for taxation at
| far less than its real value. The
| maintenance of Government neces-
states taxation. The under-valua-
ton OF property for the purpose Of
evading thepayment Ofequitabla tax
is Il species of crOOkedness which
| many influential citizens and church
| members do not scruple to adopt.
| In the matter of listing property for
taxation we should be extremely
guarded lest we lay ourselves liable
to the charge of theft and perjury.
"Failure to purchase a half-fare
| railroad ticket for a child over five
| years of age. How frequently do we
| hear persons exulting over their sue
cess in passing such children over the
road without ticket The railroad
does not compel our children to board
it's trains, but it does announce that
ii children over five years of age ride
on the trains they must pay half fare.
AS the conductor comes to collect
tickets. to advise the child to ''shrink
up and keep still, or to misrepresnnt
the age OF the child when questioned
on this point, is not an honest pro-
cedure. While some roads may prac-
tice extortion on the people, it is evil
dent that the public conscience has
not yet reached Il very acute stage
i'll dealing with the roads. To de-
fraud railroad is thought by many
to be legitimate piece of business.
In its application to railroads the
command, ''Thou shalt not STEAL
| has not been annulled."
