DGWY ON RACE PREJUDICE
Admiral Says Prudence Dictated the
Party's Course at San DOMINGO.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April g.
People have been writing to the secre-
tary of the navy asking if Admiral
Dewey, when he was at San Domingo
city, on the Mayfower, with Assistant
Secretary Of State Loomis, Rear Ad-
miral Taylor and other officials. did not
refuse to call upon Morales. the Do
minican negro president, on account of
race prejudice. Admiral Dewey said
to an interviewer:
The river at San Domingo is really
little more than a creek. There had
been firing in the vicinity that day.
People in the town had been wounded.
1t seemed to me that the sight of a
boatload of officers in gold lace going
up that creek would likely anger the
insurgents. Had we been fired upon
it would have caused trouble. Then
every one would have been asking:
What were the fools going up there
for at such a time
But there was no intention on our
part of avoiding the president because
he was a negro.
"Oh, no! You know l came from
against colored men,"

This is believed to be the position of

1t is possible that the bench may take
hand in urging the prosecuting at
torney to continue the prosecution of
the arch offender.
Although it may be simply a coinci-
dence. it is remarked as significant
that Judge William r. Cray, whose
turn 1t was to have the April term

OF his recent appointment to the bench.

SO important a trial as that of DR.

charge to the senior judge, Charles r.
Elliott. who presided at the last Ames
trial. In case of Judge Elliotts alb
sence, Judge A. NJ Harrison NAV
charge the grand jury and handle
criminal court matters next week. but
after that Judge Elliott will preside.
In any event it is predicted that the
incoming grand jury may be advised
by the court to investigate the Ames
case for the purpose of bringing an
Indictment that will hold water If
this does not have the resired effect.
there will be still time for more SIREN

JUDGE GRAY MAY GET 1T
Bryan and Hearst Opposition Conceded
as Menace to Parker's Chances.

CHICAGO, April "a Tribune
Washington special says:
Democrats who think they know how
to read the signs say that the party
nomination will go to Parker. Gray.
Cleveland or German. and they place
the chances of the four men in the or
der given. Most of the experts at the
capitol already have eliminated Bryan.
Hearst, Olney, Francis. Cockrell. Tom
Johnson, Ingalls, and other subcaliber
statesmen.
They have settled down to the be-
lief that Parker Will have the largest
following in the convention as far as
any single candidate is concerned.
The uncertainty of the situation
arises. it is said. from the probability
that Bryan and Hearst and the ele-
ments they represent will control more
than a third of the convention, and
thus be in a position to put a veto
upon the choice of the majority II
is assumed by the democratic authori-
ties that Parker will have the solid
vote of New York state, and that wher7
Hearst is beaten. his followers natur-
ally will be more incensed at Parker
than at any one else, hence it is sup
Il
| than satisfied if they can kill off the
! Kingston judge, letting the conven-
candidates.
| On the theory that Parker will &c
| into the convention with the strong
est following, and that this will make
him the target of the sings and ar
rows of the Bryan-Hearst combina
| ton, it is figured out that a compro-
mise candidate would have the best
show.
First in the list is Judge George
Gray of Delaware 1t is believed the
tendency of the convention would be
if deprived Of the privilege of nomi-
mating one judge, to turn toward an
other, and hence. it is supposed thai
a large section of the delegates who
favor Parker on general principles
when he was found impossible, would
turn more naturally to Gray than t.
any one else.
| Another important fact is that Judge
| Gray, as a member of the anthracite
| coal commission, made warm friend.
of the labor element, which is the par.
ticular section of the party expected
to develop most of the strength fo1
| Hearst.
| Judge Gray is greatly liked by thu
| Cleveland element. and under ordi
mary circumstances, would probably
secure the strength of the New Eng.
land democrats.

DIsMAv IN NEW ORLEANS OVER
NEW RULE AS TO OFFICE
HOLDERS.
Civil Service Board Decides That
eookkeeper in Water Office
Can't Hold Job.
New Orleans Dispatch.

New Orleans Dispatch.
The civil service board of New Or
leans has decided that A. A. Hart just
appointed bookkeeper of the sewerage
and water board of this city. cannot
hold office because he neglected to vote
/ in the congressional election last year.
The matter may go before the courts.
The decision will not only affect
Hart, but several hundred other city
employees who failed to vote in the
congressional election, and were ig
norant of the fact that the failure was
a political crime which disqualified
them for office. The matter of fitness
does not enter into the question.
Under the Louisiana constitution a
voter in order to enjoy the suffrage,
must pay his poll taxes for two years
in advance of an election. Then to
vote in the presidential election of 1904
in that year. and his poll tax for 1903
in 1903 If he allows December 81 to
pass, without paying this tax for that
year he thereby DISTINGUISHES himself
for two years to come.
This provision, which was invented
in Mississippi to dissuade the negroes
from voting. has proved most effective.
as there are very few negroes so pru-
dent as to pay their poll taxes for two
years in advance of an election in Or
der to participate in it. 1t has hit a
great many whites also.
This has especially been the case in
Louisiana, where the provision is a new
one. Nine tenths of the negroes and
nearly half of the whites in Louisiana
are self-disfranchised for the pres-
Dental election by failure to pay their
poll taxes in 1902.
In the recent municipal contest at
Shreveport, town of 10000 persons,
there were only few hundred per-
sons who could participate in the cleo
ton. Hundreds OF sO-called best cit-
zens looked angrily on unable to vote
because of neglect on their part in the
matter of paying their poll taxes.
It begins to look as though this suf-
frage provision. which was intended
to reduce the negro vote. would have
the effect of cutting down the white
vote as we'll: and various plans have
to pay their taxes and qualify for the
election. The white electorate has
sunk to barely half what it ought to
be; that u.s. half the whites have dis
franchised themselves by the same pro-
cess that has disfranchised the negro.
The school board is publishing a list
Of the voters, SO as to show who have
neglected their duty: but perhaps the
most effective means taken to compel
citizens to pay their poll taxes. is that
adopted by the civil service board The
notice given by the board that no one
promises to have a stimulating effect on
the poll list, and there has been a rush
ever since to the registration office and
to the city treasurer's office to pay
poll taxes.
1t has been practically made crime
in New Orleans not to vote: and the
indications are that the total vote Of
the city and state will be much heavier
in the future than it has been since
the adoption of the new constitution of
1898.

From the tonnage tax 1000 has been
received and should this support in the
future be withdrawn, and government
aid be unavailable, the promotion bust
ness will have to be abandoned.
The Future.-It is the belief of your
committee that to abandon this work
at this time would be almost criminal,
and every effort should be made to
keep it going. Every man experienced
in advertising knows full well that it
takes time to secure results from ad-
vertfsing any business and now that
the beginning has been well made, it
should not be allowed to lag, but
should be prosecuted with renewed
vim and vigor.
The Hawaii Promotion Committee
is a committee of earnest, honest, cap
able business men and in its personnel
could not be improved upon. Their
work has been a labor of love, well
planned and carried out. From a re-
search into the work they have had to
do, and the knowledge they have ac-
quired, we can say unhesitatingly that
it would be good policy to leave the
operations of this work in their hands,
reporting semi-annually to their parent
bodies.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted.
