THE PERIL OF DISFRANCHISEMENT
By DR.. FELIX ADLER

1" NHE attempt has often been made in history-in Greece
and elsewhere-to establish a democracy on the basis
- of slavery, or of PERMANENT INFERIORITY. 1t
l@&GES@D has never succeeded. 1t was a wise instinct-an instinct
of self preservation-which dictated to our states the
policy of rapidly assimilatng EVEN THE IGNORANT elements
that came to us from foreign shores. We have gone, perhaps, too
far in that direction. The wholly ignorant, the interate, the utterly
unqualified, should be excluded, but coupled with such exclusion
should always be the proviso that TT CAN ONLY BE TEN
Ii the lessons of history afforded by the example of
other nations should be. forgotten, if in the case of the colored people
or II any other section of our people the attempt should be made to
create a permanently inferior and disfranchised class, OUR DOOM
AS "A REPUBLIC rs SEALED. The problem is in this sense a
national one. Our own political liberties are at stake-not the vel
fare OF the negro alone, but our welfare a a people.
WE ARE PARTIES IN INTEREST, WE OF THE NORTH. WE
MAY NOT, THEREFORE,, STAND ASIDE. 1T is OUR RIGHT AS WELL

TO BENEFIT
Dill SOLDIERS.
Mr. Johnson E~udeayOrs to HsYe Con.
federate Soldiers Paid for Horses
Taken From Them ut Surrender.

Special To The ADVERTISER.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-Much in,
teress is felt 0 mong Confederate soldie q
in the effor' Of Representative Johnson
to secure for them pay for s;de-arms,
horses, and baggage taken from them
by h Union soldiers after the surren-
der at Appomsttox, in violation of the
Confederate soldiers paroles. An act
Was passed by the 9Th congress Il au.
thorize aud direct the war department
to pay these claims. Mr.. johnson re
quested the newspapers of the 4th dis
trict to publish this law, in order that
every Confederate soldier who hid a
claim might present it. To assist the
old soldiers, he visited severa' portions
of the district and conferred wi h and
advised them about The preparation of
their papers.
In doing this work Mr.. Johns) IN dis
covered that many Confederate soldiers
never received any formal written pa
roles. AS the act passed by the 9th
congress applied only to soldiers who
were formally paroled, the war d part
mcnt construed 1t t, apply only to
horses used in the army service. Re-
Gently Mr.. Johnson introduced in the
5Sth congress n bill authorizing aud d.
recting the Qusrtermaster General TO
ply the Confederate soldiers aud citi
Sens of the Confederate States for
horses, provisions and all o'her prop
erty taken from them by Union SOL
diers, after the surrender at App omat-
tox.
la arguing in support OF his bill be-
fore the war claims committee, Mr..
johnson pointed out that if the gov
ernment felt under obligations to pay
Confederate soldiers who were formally
paroled, the obligation was equally as
strong in favor Of those who were
never formally paroled. Some soldiers
were at home on sick leave, some were
on detached service, etc. All these
were not formally paroled. He argued
further that If the government, after
th!rty-seven years, fe't constrained by
a high moral obligation to pay the SOL
der for the horse used in the army
service, the obligation wasequally as
strong to pay for the horse used in
making a support for his wife and
children. AS for widows and non.com-
batants, the highest sense Of morality
aud justice against the government
taking their property without COM
pensaticD. The war claims committee
has the bill under consideration. 1t is
certainly m%eritorious, aud its passage
would do justic Q to and help many poor
paople in the South.
The introduction OF this bill and the
effort on the part of Representative
johnson to secure its passage, show
that he is alive to the interests Of his
people, and Is on the lookout for oppor-
tunities to serve his constituents.

government and steadily advocated up to this day-tho exemption
from seizure of PRIVATE property on the sea in time of war.
As our country from its earliest history led the nations of the
earth In creating a more elevated and perfect system of intena-
tonal law, so also it has been the most active IN ADJUSTING IN
IERNATlONAL CONTROVERSIES and preserving peace by
means of treaties of arbitration. The first treaty negotiated after
Tn organization OF our government under the constitution-the Jay
treaty OF 1904 with Great Britain-marked a distinct advance in the
practice of nations and sought to ameiorate the harlness of war
and to establish more clearly neutral rights.
1e ONLY instance in our history where fraud and corruption
have been established against an arbitration tribunal was that with
Venezuela under the treaty of 1866. Soon after the adjournment of
the commission charges of irrcgularity and fraud on the part of its
members were made at Washington by the Venezuelan government,
and an investigation established to the satisfaction of congress the
fact that A CORRUPT ARRANGEMENT HAD BEEN MADE
between the American commission, the umpire Ga Vcnezuean), the
United States minister in Venezuela and his relative. the LEADING a-
torney before the commission, by which a large part of each claim
represented by the attorney and allowed by the commission was to
be DIVIDED between the persons named. After considerable de-
lay IN securing legislation & new commission was organized, which
reviewed the work of its predecessor.

But L also know that in all the centuries that civilized man has
lived upon the earth THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN AGE
LIN WHICH THE MORAL SENSE WAS SO DEEPLY
ROOTED AND AS WIDELY DIFFUSED AS AT THE
PRESENT TIME.
Never in the history Of man have human rights been regarded as
SC sacred and human possessions a SO inviolabe. Never before have
nations been so fearful of waging cruel war and shedding innocent
blood Never before have nations been so powerfully swaycd by
LIE POWER OF RIGHT. BY that power have whole empires
to cover.
Never before have the poor and the weak stood as protected under
the egls OF the law rs at the present time. Never before have such
liberal provisions been made for healing the sick, for sheltering the
aged and infrm, for caring for the orphans, for educating the ig-
norant, guiding the straying, lifting the fallen. Never before has
love held SO large a place IN THE CORRECTION OF THE DE
