that the Rest will give its annual

one Of the features of the program
for the evening Will be Christmas

In one Of the New York public

boys and girls. and they have may

this organization the discipline of
the school Is maintained by the pu-
pills themselves. The principal under
whose guidance the government was
formed, says that the system has
already lessened trunncy and ele-
waited the moral tone of the entire
body of pupils Warrants are issued.
arrests made. and trials conducted
precisely as In the city courts. The
commonest penalty is detention after
regular school hours, but crap play
ing and all forms OF gambling arc
dealt with more severely.
Perhaps II would not be bad

schools OF Newport News would forn,

could do no harm, AMI might be the
means of doing great deal Of
good. No other knowledge that

THE WHITE MANS PARTY.

a leve-heaGled and far-seeing old
statesman Is Senator John 7. Nor
gan, OF Alabama, and he has given
the Democracy of the whole country
something to ponder over when he
suggests that III the next national
convention there should be clear
cu' declaration in the platform to
the effect that the Democratic party
OF the United States is. and has al
ways been. white mans party"
This Is n truth that the party should
not hesitate to state boldly and with
out hesitation, for the time has come
to set it up as Il cardinal principal.
In approving the suggestion which
Senator Morgan has submitted, the
charleston News and Courier says
when the Declaration of Indepen-
dance was promulgated, rs Mr. Nor
gar shows the self.evident PROPOSE
ton that all men are born free and
equal was not intended to include.
anu did not include any but white
men. 1t did not apply to the col
orcd people who were then here and
held in servitudc, 1t did not apply
to the red man from whom the
country was wrested; it applied only
to the white people for whom the
convention spoke and sooner or later
and the sooner the better, the coun-
try must return to first principles.
1.-THE race question is no longer
confined TO the South. 1t is ill.,
creasing in intensity steadily in the
northern half of the country. 1t
must he settled some day so that
the supremacy of the white man
will nowhere be disputed, so that
there will never be any danger of
merging of the races. The Dem
ocratic party has always been a
white mans party. 1t Is SO recog-
nized by the colored people. and
the Morgan resolution ought to be
Incorporated in the principles of the
party"
1t is well that such declaration
as Senator Morgan favors should
be made in order to draw the line
squarely on the negro question, the
responsibility of which lies at the
door of the Republican party. AS
things stand to-day the Republican
)party Is both a white and black
party, the black part Of It being
used for the benefit of the white
part In other words. the white
leaders regard the negro vote as
the property of the party to be used
to accomplish its political ends, but
meme of the places of trust and
horror are allowed to go to the
negro voters. This has been clearly
demonstrated in Chicago, where in
order to get tho negro vote of the
city tho Republican party nominated
negro named Barnett for one Of
the city's judseships with the eXpec
tation that he would be defeated
By scratching at the polls, but a
sufficient number OF Republican vo'
tors failed to perform the duty
expected OF them and Barnet pulled
through by two or three hundred plu'
rality The election OF the negro
