which he declared the South's treat

apparently reluctant to attend it, it
is said. He went to the building and

Mr.. Warner, was handling this pre-
cisely as it ought to be handled;
that the Southern people alone gras-

that he felt they ought to be given

The endorsement Of Senator Knox
for the Republican nomination for
the Presidency by the Pennsylvania
Republican Convention gives the
Plttsburger the inside Of the track,
for the state of no other avowed
candidate for the nomination has
done such thing Added to this ad-
vantage is the acceptability of the
Senator to all factions within the
party, which must unite on some
such man or go down in defeat be-
fore Bryan and Hearst. And we are
not convinced that the union within
the party will save it, If Mr.. Hearst
and Mr.. Bryan can be brought to-
gether. Aside from the considera-
ton Of MIR. Knox as an endorsed and
acceptable candidate, he is fit one;

ARTICLE SIX.

In ANOTHER column Of tOday's Ad-
vocate will be found long and in
teresting letter from the pen of a
Haytian addressed to the Editor of
the New York Herald, in many re-
spects the most powerful of Ameri-'
can newspapers, and the current en-
cyclOpedia for all foreigners, except
the English, all of whom hunts the
Evening Post, who desire and hunt
for the public opinion of this coun-
try on any subject Of import The
letter takes the form Of a book re-
view, nevertheless it is charged with
the spirit Of thoughtful consideration
Of such practical subjects as affect
and engage the Haytian people with
reference to their relationship to the
powers Of the earth, considering
particularly the position it occupies
to the Government of the United
States, and the future position to
which circumstances are assidiously
propelling it. We are struck with
the frank, and, we believe, patriotic
attitude of the writer His wisdom
in no contention are we Fastening to
embrace. America, we feel, we
know more thoroughly than "Hypo-
Haytian." He loves Hayti more
than we love it, doubtless, but he can
have no more pride in it's history
than we claim. Hayti is the black
mans proof; he turns to it as a ref
uge. Let it remain.
"Hypo-Haytian" calls, and calls
loudly, for the immediate repeal of
the famous ARTICLE 6" of the Con-
stMution Of Hayti. Briefly, this ar
ticle's purpose is to exclude all white
men from owning any of the soil Of
the country. It's inspiration came
from Toussaint and Dessalines, and
1T has been the sacred period Of all
| the writing Of Hayti. "Hypo-Hay-
tian' would repeal it for the sake Of
| the future Of Hayti, reasoning, in
| his way, which seems purely a COM
merclal one, that capital will not 20
| into Hayti unless this article is re-
| pea!ed, and, further, that Hayti must
stagnate and waste further without
capital This capital, he contends,
in the very nature Of things, must
come from the United States. With
outsDoken cruelty he warns the Hay
tian people, that, sooner or later,
| the article will be repealed by the
United States, unless Hayti takes
| the initiative. Upon this premise
very naturally he arrives at the CON
c]usiOn that it we're better for the
| Republic Of Hayti to invite the Unit
ed States to d seat in her parlor than
| TO have this country fOrcibly possess
| the whole house; for in the first
event Hayti might retain her perfect
Independence inviolate, but in the
other event she might retain moth.
| ing, save the remem brance Of her
departed glory. 1t is needless to
say the New York Herald endorses
the philosophy Of its correspondent.
1t will DO Hayti no good, in the
long run, to even seriously consider
any such step as would destroy its
place in the life Of nations. There
IS no sincere man, white or black
who does not know, or will not say

We profess for "Uncle Joe" Can
non, in common with the whole
country, an affection bordering on
hero-worship. His sturdy character
has always appealed to us; his rug

speech we thought marked the full
man, saturated with the spirit of
liberty, and in perfect accord with
the ends Of free Institutions. But
,"Uncle Joe" has fooled us. He has
