MORE ON THE QUESTION
OF NEGRO DONNA

OF NEGRO DOWlNA
TION.n
Mr.. Mark 0. Shriver Of Balti-
more writes the following letter
to the NeaOs of that city, in the
effort to throw furthur light on
the dark places and to clear up
few popular misaprehensions:
"To judge from the frequent
utterances of the Democratic
Anti-Poe Amendment Associa-
ton, one would imagine that
the opponents of that measure
have no arguments against it
but "Down with German |"
This is the whole sum and SUBJ
stance of their advertisements.
The one this evening begins
"At the risk of repetition" and
it is indeed REPETITION, and of
nothing but an idle, insensate
attack on our senior Senator,
the man to whom we owe the
election of the only Democratic
President since the Civil War.
Another thing noticeable is
the attempt to throw discredit
on the Democratic statements as
to negro domination. Would it
not be we'll for the gentleman
who wrote that advertisement to
remember the old rule of Davy
Crockett's about being sure be-
fore going ahead?
In 1896 the Presidential vote
was:
Mckinley. ...... .136,959
Bryan. .104,9S5
A republican majority of 49,
224. That year there were g.
1l3 colored voters registered.
Had these been debarred, Mary

tic by nearly 100000 That is,
by the negro vote the will of a

thwarted.
In 1900 the vote was;
Mckinley .........136,97S
Bryan. ...,....122,2S8
A Republican majority of A.
TAO, There were then 54,280
registered negroes, and the will
of the white majority, this time
of 100000. was again nullifed.
In 1904 this was the result:
Bonaparte. ........ 109,49
Brown. ....... 100, 446
A Republican majority of 81.
Last year, however, there were
only 53,029 registered voters
(colored), but even this gives a
white majority of over $4,000.
And still we are told by most
estimable gentlemen that the
white man rules, and there is no
danger of negro domination.
These figures are taken from the
Sun Almanacs Of 1897, 1901 and
1905, and are, believe, taken
from the official returns.
Just one thing more, in Octo-
Der, 1899, the latest figures l

On the second day, when Kim Hop, the
young tutor. took up his book be found the
leaves well stuck together with fish glue.
Sang Su appeared to be very busy over
his lessons, though he kept watching from
one corner of his eye to see what would

come into the school room and see the

take no notice of the prank He just got
another book and went on quietly with the
lesson.
The next day Hop Kim went to the school
room early. Sang Su had been there earlier
still. and had not only put glue over the
book, but even upon the seat of the stool
where his teacher would sit. Hop Kim 8
keen eyes noticed 1t all, so he quickly ex-
changed his stool and book for those of his
pupil, and then calmly sat down to wait.
Now Sang Su had whispered the secret of
this prank to his Acknowledged sister as well
as to Ii Tung, the rice-cake man, and Kang
Low, who was so small and fat he always
laughed.

reached for his book he found that his stool
was very firmly glued to his garments.
Instantly Kang Low, the fat boy, began
to laugh. Then the rice-cake man. Ii Tung.

eyes and even Hop Kim, the tutor All
laughed except Sang Su, who was now
tasting some Of his own pills. So provoked
was he and so chagrined that he seized his
book to throw at the tutors head.
Alas, the book also stuck TO him, and for
his cleverness Sang Su lost his temper. Hop

on earth had so disturbed his pupil. La

THE FRANKS OF SANG SU.

Sang Su was a good-uatured ms hievous
Chinese boy twelve years old. He was the
comfort OF his mother and the pride of his
father. the great Chow Ching. Neverthe-
less, he was a trial and a care TO them
for he would not study.
.'rI.rhy. ywth h. rnifmrgth n, oked. EFT EET
He loved play he was full of prarks, but
he hated books. AS a consequence he usu-
ally dsl<ed his teachers, because they in
sisted ne should study
why should / study" he would say
My father has plenty of money for himself
and for me, and play IS so much more
pleasant than study
In vain they tried to show him that when
he became man he would need knowl-
edge One tutor after another gave him up
as hopeless. All declared that he would
live and die an ignoramus; never would
lucky nor between six times seven and
seven times six.
And little did San Su care. Only let him
play, let him Outwit his tutor, let him put
lizards in the tiny slippers of his almond
eyed sister La Lee, or green toads In her
snow white bed: only let him have his own
way and he was happy.
still Chow Ching was patient and always
more resolved that his boy should learn.
He sent near and far for skiliful tutors; he
tried first kindness. then discipline. The re-
suit was the same. San Su would not
study.
At last certain youth, Kim Hap by
name, heard OF the idle boy. and went at
once to Chow Ching to ask for the position
OF tutor. He was permitted to try. but
was warned that Sang Su was both mis-
chieyOus and Idle.
on the first day there were no pranks.

Lee, the sweet. almond-eyed sister, clapped
her hands in delight, for she saw that the
tables were turned on the tricky boy. Ii
Tung. the rice-cake man, and Kang Low
the fat boy, laughed so that their sides
shook.
Such amusement only enraged Sang Su
the more. Wildly he dashed after his tutor,
declaring he would like to throw him into
whole river of fish glue. Hop Kim. though
a tutor was only young man, and very
active one. He quickly decided that he
could have some fun out of a race with
Sang Su, and perhaps teach him lesson;
so he bounded out of the boys way, ran a
few times around the room, out into the
garden, among the fewer beds around the
summer house, then down along the narrow
canal that wound it's way between the rows
of buildings.
Sang Su was in hot pursuit of his fleeing
tutor, and was all the while heaping threats
of the most direful sort upon him. Behind
them ran La Lee and the fat boy and the
rice-cake man-all laughing and shouting
at the sport
Now Hop Kim was a great expert in a
certain kind of athletics, and that was in
jumping. He could have leaped the narrow
canal at any spot, but he chose to run I'M
I'll he found narrow place which Sang Su
could leap also; for the race was too inter-
estIng to end just yet.
Finding such place at last, he leaped
lightly across. Sang Su saw how easy it
seemed and attempted to follow. Instead,
alas, he plunged squarely into the deep
water and sank Coming to the surface,
he shouted Justify for help. Dear La Lee
was frightened, too, and implored the rice
cake man and the fat boy to leap in and
save him. But they did not think it worth
while.
And now for certainty idle, mischievous
Sang Su would have persisted had it not
been for his tutor. Throwing his coat to
the ground and slipping off his heavy shoes.
he sprang into the water and quickly had
the coughing, terrified boy safely on the
bank.
Pretty La Lee kneeled down and put her
arms around Hop kims feet. There were
no more lessons that day. But on the next
day, and the next, and even up to this
very day. Sang Su was a new boy-he must
have lost all his mischief and all his idle
ness in the waters of the canal.
And it has been whispered that when the
rice fields are in bloom again sweet La Lee
of the almond eyes will be Hop Kim's own
bride.

THE BIRTHDAY OWLS.

Sweet little JEANNE Gray was her grand
fathers favorite The days at the old farm
were always full of sunshine when Jean was
there. And when you know that there are
turkeys and chickens, pigs and sheep and
cows on the farm you may easily guess that
of all the places little Jean saw she
would rather go to Grandfather Gray's.
Nearly always on her birthday the big
tree that stood close to the well was loaded
with plump, red cherries. The robins and
the catibirds ate a great many of them, but
there were enough and to spare for all.
Then there were the old-fashioned rose
bushes so loaded with roses-red, pink.
whitehall Jean could not only go and
smell of them, but could pick bouquet for
grandma every day. She could run In the
orchard, she could run on the hay In the
big barn, and after supper. when ii was al
most bedtime, she could sit grandfath-
er's lap while he told her stories about the
two funny brown owls.
Now these little owls were stuffed and
set up on a roosting stick, so that they
looked very Ife-like. Jean knew the story
by heart. She could have told you exactly
how grandfather went to the barn one very
cold morning and found them lying on the
barn floor frozen stiff. But somehow she
never grew tired of hearing what grand
father thought the wise little creatures
must have been saying to each other be-
fore 1T got so cold that thy fell from their
perch up near the roof. Jean loved the
owls almost much she did her dollies.
Well, one day this very summer Jean was
on the farm to spend her birthday and sew
eral days besides. She was very happy
when her birthday came, for grandmother
had promised her cake with six little can
dies on 1t, and her mamma had sent her
two broad ribbons, one pink, one white, and
lovely red paraso
In the afternoon, while grandmother was
taking her nap and grandfather was away
down in the meadow helping the farm
hands make hay, Jean went walking in the
orchard with her new parasol. The young
