What Gov. Chamberlain Says.

Ex-Governor Chamberlain, who has
spent several months for bis health
in Columbia, and who only recently
left fora trip to Europe, wrote long,
entertaining and instructive letter to
the Springfield Republican while in
Columbia on the negro question. He
declares that his further acquaintance
with the negro shows that he has made
little progress, and that if he had
the power now and could obtain con-
troll of the government the same con-
dition of robbery. corruption and vice
would exist as it did in the days Of re-
construction. He thinks there may be
some hope for the negro, but taking
him all in all be is no more fit to exer-
else the right of ballot now than be
was just after the war. The Columb bia
Record says Governor Chamberlain
is a competent judge in this in
stance, because he was beneficiary OF
the suffrage given the negro in South
Carolina just after the war, and he
realized then, in a few years that a
great mistake had been made, and
his latest visit to the South
further confirms him in his view.
In holding that the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments should
never have been adopted, he de-
clares that some Of the leaders may
have believed that they were insuring
that justice would be done the negro
by passing them, but Of MS knowledge
the amendments were passed purely
because of the greed Of party power BY
a great majority Of the Republican
leaders. The North is rapidly coming
to realize what stupendouS error was
made, and it would not be surprising
if a strong movement would come
from that section for their repeal.
The New York Sun has already advo-
Gated that policy. 1t is not too late
yet to remedy, in small degree, at
least, that great wrong.

LABoRERS IN GERMANY.
Consul General Hughes Sends Report
That Many Are Unable to Secure
Employment.

There is a continuous scarcity OF
work in Germany, Consul General
Hughes has sent reports to the state
department showing that in the min.
ing districts and in the centers OF
the iron working and machine max
ing regions short hours, dismissal
of hands, and cutting down OF wages
are general. In the month of July,
1900. when the depression of business
in general was felt for the first time
on the labor market, the decrease OF
employed laborers amounted to only
three per cent, while in July Of this
year their already much reduced
number has decreased by further
five per cent.
There is marked increase in the
number of men applying for work at
the public labor Offices. In July,
1900. for every 100 open places 1929
applicants were counted; this year
their number has run up to 1909.
The labor offices report an in
creased rush for places. particularly
by metal workers and those en-
ployed in the building trades. The
latter may hope for an improvement,
at least in some places. at the begin
ming of the autumnal building sea-
son. but for the iron workers the
outlook is gloomy indeed.
