Keep up the Good Work

The people of Baltimore are re
ioicing over the passage of the

result as meaning progress for til
city. To them it means better
sanitary conditions, more rapid
growth of the city, the location of
more industries and general
business awakening and revival.
Now let the voters of that city
seize another opportunity to vote
for progress, and next November
mark their ballots for the franchise

Government is gOoa or bad as the

LAST NEGRO COP GOES.
New York S Experim e n t
Neither Popular Nor Sue
cessful

Negroes as policemen have
proved neither popular nor sue
cesSful in New York. The last of
those appointed under previous
reform administration was dis
missed on Friday last by Police
Commissioner McAdoo for absence
without leave for five days.
For time the negro policemen
were used as detectives in obtain
ing evidence against policy and
other games. Their color served
to make them conspicuous among
other policemen and they became
so well known that their useful.
ness in that capacity ended. In
addition they were stunned by
white members of the police force
aud the performance of their duty
was frequently resented by white
citizens.

A Startling Revelation.
Written for the Citizen. !


| fear some of our faStidiOus
Maryland houSekeeperswill hardly
believe or at least agree with a
remark | heard a fine housekeeper
make not long since. She said that
death as surely turks among the
dish cloths of many kitchens
as it does in the rubbish piles of
the back alley ways, and in pools
of Stagnant water.
| thought such a startling an
nouncement would do good per
haps by making us think more
carefully along this line. She
says three fourthS of the Bridgets
and KatrinaS know no more of
sanitary precautions than an un-
born babe, and must. therefore,
be ca efully taught cleanliness
before it is safe to trust them
with the management of the
kitchen.
The tea towels, she says, should
be carefully rinsed each time
after using, and hung out in the
air to dry. Twice week they
should go to the wash to be boil
ed. The same holds good for the
dish rag. To often the latter is
left in the empty dish pan, oil
hung up IN dark closet there to
breed disease germs and to pro
duce unsightly dishes.
An excellent and quick way to
wash dish rags is to wash them
out daily in a hot suds of pearl
inc, as it cuts into the grease and
cleans them so quickly and keeps
them pure. One should manage
to have enough of them to never
be stinted in them. Have plenty
of changes both of dish towels
and dish rags JANE.

THE AFTERMATH.

The Baltimore Sun has this 10 say
of the aftermath of the recent spring
election in that city:
Nov that the city campaign is Il
thing of the past, the State leaders Of
the two parties are preparing to step
into the limelight with the prelimiuar-
les of their fight over the negro dis
franchising amendment to the Con.tl-
tuition. There is no question that the
unexpected nature of their Council
manic defeat has o a certain extent
discouraged the Republican workers
aud managers, and has correspond
ingly elated the Democrats, who be-
lieve that already the change in the
sentiment toward the amendment,
which they have been predicting, has
begun to manifest itself.
The resentment which the Republi-
cans feel toward the leg oes because
of their general failure 10 support the
party ticket, which they take 10 pains
to conceal, has created much talk TO
the effect that tue adoption of the
amendment, would, in the long run.
prove of benefit to the Republi an
party, as il would rid them of an ele-
ment upon which they cannot depend
when they need it, and which always
affords an issue to the opposition.
Many prominent Republicans, in
GLIDING no small number of wards
executives and district leaders, have
talked in this strain since the election,
but shrewd observers do not take
much stock in this sentiment
On the Democratic side the managers
are looking forward to the conflict
with renewed confidence and euthu.
siasm. Senator German, ii is under
stood, will come to Baltimore this
week to look over the situation and
hold a few conferences with leading
Democrats from the counties. 1t will
be his first visit of a political nature
since just before the November cleo.

mark the beginning of the active work
in behalf of the amendment.

FRIENDS OF THE NEGRO?

Mr.. Robert Garrett, of Baltimore,
gave dinner at the Belvidere on
Tuesday night last at which were
present about ten of the most prom
inent Republicans of the STATE. The
object OF the little gathering was
mainly to di-cnss plans for the fall
contest over the Constitutional Amend
ments and to declare emphatic protest
against their adoption.
1t is very natural FIR these men aud
their FLOW politicians all over the
state to view with alarm the possible
striking from the voting list OF great
number of their most desirable "c0lored
brothers," 1t might injure their pres
tige as leaders and deprive many of
them of fat offices in some counties
where they have had the negro by the
horns and made him do their will ir-
respective of any other consideration.
1t might also raise the standard OF the
suffrage in the State of Maryland,
which it has for years so sadly needed.
But these matters are given little heed
by these m-n. They only look to
their own selfish epds and regard any
attempt to restrict the suffrage from q
partisan standpoint and Oppose it as
such, although many of them realize
the perfect equity of the propositi
and IN heir hearts favor it
The experience at the late Balti-
IN re election should he sufficient
answer to all opponents of the amend
ments. The disappointment of the
Republicans at the loss of tue election
has ne II told and their denunciation
of the negro in this connecti has
been long AID loud About Is 900 of
this race did not go the polls.
Th- reason why the negr es laid
down is berause they have not been
recognized. nor cas- they expect recog-
4 uitioI from Mayor iiminus' admins
| trati0n. Another one is that they had
little interest in the loans and many of
them did not understand them, NOR
care rap whether they were carried
or not. They were not a taXpaying
cjass and from personal standpoint
were most indifferent. Iu fact, if the
truth were known, the majority of
those who did vote, cast their ballots
against the loans The failure of the
negroes to stand by their party has
disguised many of the white Repub-
icans, which will inure TO the success
of the amendment.
With one accord the Republican
managers put the blame of their crush
ing defeat upon the negro, and male
dictions were poured forth upon the
head of the "colored brother" by some
of the warmest of his erstwhile Repub-
lican friends.
Certainly this is fine showing for a
class Of citizens to put w. when vital
interests to the greatest city IN our
State We're al stake and when hous-
ands of dollars We're scent Ia an edu-
catipual campaign 10 put the truth
plainly tetore the people The he
groes at least t Z $1,000 WHO did not
vote, were certainly unmindful of
civic advancement and tie needs Of the
hour
That is The ind gent class which
claimed the rapt attention Of these
Republican leaders at the Belvidere on
Tuesday night and for whose welf,re
thy were 20 s,licitious Il is a strik-
in commentary on the moons ency
