The Herald's Failure.

The Baltimore Herald effort to show
extravaganza and loose management in the
Baltimore postofice has proved dismal
failure. Not only is the Postofice Depart
ment satisfied with Postmaster Warfeld' s
managemnt. but the Postmaster himself,
in published statement, clearly explains
why the percentage cost to receipts Is
greater in Baltimore than in some other
cities. In the Heralds comparisons no
note of the greater receipts at other offices
is made. As Mr. Warield shows, the
greater the receipts the lower the per
centage of cost of maintenance.

A Misstatement,

Bishop Turner, Of the African Me,ho-
dist Epiocopal Church in an address at
Indianapolis on Monday, said that the
Negro was hampered in his endeayor to
raise himself above present conditions BY
the prejudice Of the white people The
eolered bishop has just reversed the facts
The prejudice Il mainly on the part Of the
Negro against the white man He was
taught in the South, particularly, to hate
the white people by the carpet basgers aud
scalawags, who gathered them in churches
and schooIhouses aud told them that the
white people would put them back into sla
very if they did not support the Republican
party. This was done everywhere |,
was done in every county in this State and
in Baltimore Here they were taught TO
believe that every Democrat was an enemy
of the black man As the Democrats
constitute a majority Of about 20, 600 Of
the white voters of Maryland. they were
virtually taught to distrust and hate the
white people.
For thirty or more years the white
people of the South have taxed themselves
to educate and elevate the colored people,
and in return every Negro vote has been
cast against their interests They have
shown no disposition to care for good
government, tax rates, public debts, Oh
anything else pertaining to the genera
welfare, but have listened to those who
would use them to further their desire fol
Office They cared not for the interest
of those who employed them, clothed and
fed them They had no gratitude for the
educational facilities afforded them, and
on election day have invariably voted
against the interests of their best friends.
In view of these facts it is no wonder
that the States south of the Potomac
limited Negro suffrage. And Maryland
must do likewise. For forty years, nearly,
the white people of this State have taxed
themselves to furnish schools for the colored
people. They have even given to the
colored people in greater proportion than
to their own children, and no very APP
probable progress has been made in educa-
ton, morals or industry. And as one man
they continue to stand by the not very ex-
allied citizens in most of the counties who
have taught them hatred TO the white
people who endeavored to help and aid
them.
If after forty years of freedom and OPP
portunity of education no appreciable ele-
walton is noticeable, it is about time to
curtail Negro suffrage, and not have the
black horde of ignorance and immortality,
led mostly by INSCRIPTIONS whites where
the colored vote is heaviest, continually
threatening the aseendancy Of the party
that contains the bulk Of the education and
and culture of the commonwealth and pays
three-fourth of the taxes.
The colored man should have equality
before the law with the white citizen.
He should have protection of life and
property and in every right. There is no
