City Council Meets.


The city council met in special ses-
sion Monday night, for the purpose
of considering matters in connection
with formulating soma plan for wa
tering the cemetery. and arranging |
for having Chicago Street opened |
up south to the city limits, and for
such other business as might come
up for consideration. When Mayor |
Smith called the meeting to order
there was but one member absent.
The first business considered was
that of getting water on the cemetery
grounds. Several plans were discus
sed, but it was finally decided to call
for bids for furnishing and installing
an engine and complete pumping
outfit together with piping and TO-
900 gallon tank. The engine and
pump to have a capacity of 200 gal
Ions per minute, with an elevation
of $50 feet. 1t is the purpose to
locate the pump and engine at the
river at a point about 500 feet from
the cemetery grounds. The question
which will naturally arise in the
minds of the citizens Is, who will do
the pumping? The idea Of some OF
the members Of the Council Is to
have the superintendent Of the water
works do the pumping for both
the city and cemetery, just how this
can be managed Is not entirely clear
l for the reason that in case Of fire
s breaking out in the city, the super
: intendent's services would be needed
at the city pump house. while at tina
time he might be pumping at tn
cemetery. The most sensible propo
, sition offered was to connect eithe
y 2 or 4-inch pipes with the reservoi
, and do the pumping direct from tn
Il city wells. 1t was stated that tn
II engines now in use had sufAcier
l. power to do the work necessary fo
O putting the water on the grounds
III The expense Of laying the additions

HARMONY.
the state.

The republicans of Tennessee have
harmonized their differences. BY the
terms of the agreement G. N. Tillman,
of the "ofice-holders" convention, be-
comes the party's candidate for gov
ernor and F. A. Raht. of the "home
rulers" the candidate for railroad
commissioner. The electors were
evenly divided between the two fac
tons and ten "home rulers" were add
ed to the "ofice-holders' state execu-
tive committee. The compromise, so
it is stated, was engineered by Chair
mar Hitchcock of the National Re
publican Executive Committee.
This harmonizing of the d~iscordant
elements was to have been expected.
AS we have pointed out heretofore,
Tennessee with one republican candi-
date, and he a native of the state,
ought to be classed in the list of doubt
full states. For the republicans to
have pursued any other course under
the circumstances than the n they
did would have been suicidal to the flu.
ture welfare of the party.
The national organization recognizes
the popularity of Judge Taft in this
state and will now doubtless make 6
great effort to carry the state for him
They may succeed.
In the meanwhile the kind of har
mony hat exists in both parties il
shown by Mr.. Carmack, who as tn,
editor of a democratic newspaper il
doing his part to turn democratic
votes to the republican ticket an,
candidate Tillman, who by his speech
es, is driving Negro voters to the sur
port of Patterson.

COMMUNICATIONS.
The Finis Walters Episode.

To the Nashville Globe:
Recently, so recently that it
may be easily recalled to the memory
of the readers of one of the daily pa
pers of the city, a humane citizen,
writing under the non de plume "An
Unwilling Witness" told in a plain
and unvarnished manner of a police
mans treatment of a colored man
whom he had placed under arrest.
He considered it brutal and said so
without mincing words. The affair
under comment took place on the
wharf and owing to the victim being a
Negro, it was thought that no further
notice would be taken Of it. But de-
velopments since have shown that
such a view of the matter is err
roneous. The case has been brought
again before the public by what has
been said through the newspapers
recently by His Honor, the Mayor,
and Mr.. Jones.
His Honor took cognizance of what
Mr.. Jones had written of the brutal
beating of the prisoner and came out
in an article stating that he had urged
Mr., Jones to bring the matter proper
ly before the Civil Service Commits
sion, that the officer may be brought
TO trial, and that the latter has failed
to do so. The language of the Mayor
seems to attempt to convey the i'm
preston that there is not much foun-
dation to what was written about the
cruelty of the officer to prisoner, for
he cites the names of several wit
~nesses who, he says, refute and will
refute what Mr.. Jones has said.
Mr.. Jones follows the Mayors com.
munication with a pointed answer and
positively states that he, too, has sew,
eral witnesses who will bear out his
version of the matter.
After reiterating what he had sale
in his former article concerning the
awful clubbing of the prisoner, Mr.
Jones has this to say, which is takeI
from The American of August 26:
For the past several generations
Mayor Browns people have repre-
scented my people in various capaci
ties, and more especially during the
past two generations in a legal way
He comes from a long line of gentle
men in a true sense of the word. Hil
father vas a man of strong charactel
and wonderful ability. His people, al
have mine, have been large slave
holders, and it is surprising to m,
! that he does not emulate their exam
2 pie by protecting a class of benight
ed people against the tyranny o
, touts, gamblers and loggerheads.
ut has always been the business o
my people to instruct his people a.

Two years ago the republicans had
an excellent opportunity to carry Ten
nessee, but they were so anxious to
get the disaffected democrats that they
snubbed the Negro-a loyal supporter
of the party since the franchise was
granted him. This year the Negro is
needed but it seems that Mr.. Sanders
does not know it. He and his candi-
date are still chasing the bubble Of a
white mans party. The bubble will
be before them until November and
then something will happen.

legislature for 100000 for the es-
adjustment of three Normal schools
for the training of teachers. Since
no special mention has been made that
one of these schools is to be set apart
for Negroes, we assume that Prof.
Jones has in mind the building of all
three schools for whites.
We are in hearty sympathy with
the educational campaign that is Oh
in this state and hope that it will re-
suit in an increase in the length of the
school term, better teachers at higher
salaries and a reduction of illiteracy
among all classes throughout the state.
We hope the legislature which will be
elected this November, will vote an in
crease of appropriation for education
al purposes.
But coming to Superintendent Jones
proposition, is it not time that a state
Normal industrial and agricultural
school should be established for the
Negroes? An appropriation Of $780,
600 has been made by the state for
the endowment of Peabody Normal
School, another of 100000 for the
years of 190S-1909, for the University
of Tennessee; $4,000 for the estab-
lishment Of an experiment station in
West Tennessee and besides these ap-
preparations the general government
is assisting the University of Tennes-
see through the Morrill, Fund. Only
white students can enjoy the fruits of
these appropriations on account of the
separate school law. During the time
since all these appropriations were
made, not one cent has been appropri-
ated directly for the education of the
Negro.
1t is about time in all justice and
fairness, if more schools are to be con-
structed-and they should be built
that some consideration should be
shown the colored youth. The state
has been dealing literally with it's ap-
preparations for the benefit of the
whites, then why be parsamonious
with the blacks? If the state is to re-
ceiye the fullest returns from an i'm
proved educational system it must pro-
vide for all of it's citizens without re-
gard to any class distinction. One
of these new schools recommended by
Superintendent Jones-the one in Mid
die Tennessee where the whites have
the Peabody Normal School with it's
million dollar endowment coming
from the state, Davidson County, Nash
vile and the Peabody Trustee Board
should be for the use of the Negroes of
the state.

A CARD FROM Mr.. r. /. MAY
FIELD.

To the Nashville Globe:
1 notice in your issue of September
4, anent the debate between Mr.. A. N.
Johnson and myself that you pay quite
a glowing tribute to my side Of the
debate in a manner that the facts,
which you afterwards publish, do not
justify. l am not at this writing able
to divine your motive in the matter,
and for that reason | am compelled to
say it was done in good faith until
the contrary is proven to me. l will
give the Globe the privilege to make
known through it's columns that | will
meet Mr.. A. N. Johnson in a joint de-
bate on the subject, which we were to
debate, and which was only incident
ally referred to by me, and was not
referred to at all by Mr.. Johnson, or l
will debate the subject debated by Mr..
Johnson IN the evening of our de-
bate. Any person present can verify
the truthfulness of the assertion when
l say that the subject we had chosen
was not debated by Mr.. Johnson. |
am willing to meet Mr.. Johnson at
any time and place upon one weeks
notice. Yours,
R. L. MAYFIELD.

The Negro vote will be the balance
of power in Tennessee this year.
Without it Mr.. Tillman can not hope
to be elected. At the present the col
ored brother seems very languid when
the name of the republican candidate
is mentioned. Mr.. Tillman's opening
speech, in which he intimates that
he is glad to be rid of the Negro vote,
has increased the number who will
not stand for lilly whiteism" in the
republican party.

Tennessee has a republican state
executive committee composed of thir-
ty members since the warning factions
of the party have come together. One
member of the committee is a Negro.
Just think of it, Twenty-Five to one!
One would think judging by the pro
portion that the committee was elect
ed by a democratic primary.

arrest when such parties obey the
representatives.
Mr.. Jones, who, through his public
letter, called the attention of the au-
thorities to the Walters case, needs
no encomium, for he simply per-
formed his plain but conscientious
duty as he say it, and as a humane
man and an honorable citizen. This
is worth much to the community in
that it turns the light on some erst-
while unnatural abuses.

THE NEGRO AND POLITICS..

The Chattanooga Daily Times, one
of the best edited newspapers Of
America, in concluding an editorial in
commendation Of the Greater Nash
vile Edition of The Globe, makes the
following statement:
THE Globe demonstrates one thing
clearly-Negroes who attend to their
business, let politics alone and do not
make themselves offensive by oficious
.-meddling in the affairs Of white peo-
pie, are progressing rapidly in the
south"
The Times is n of the fairest pa
pers in the South on the race ques-
ton and is right more often than 9th
erwise in it's conclusions on the much
discussed problem"
The Times, however, falls into the
usual fallacy when it says by inference
that the Negro should let politics
alone. The Negro should do nothing
of the kind. The Negro more and
more is becoming a taxpayer here in
the South and as such is as vitality
interested in the government Of the
city or county in which he may live as
any other man. He pays the same
taX-rate Oh what he possesses as any
other citizen and he is as much con-
cerned in the disposition of these tax
es as anyone else.
Instead of letting politics alone, the
Negro should learn to register at the
opening of the registration season, to
pay his own poll tax, and vote with
some intelligence as to his best inter
est in the local elections where per-
mitted to do so. If the Negro would
but learn to be his own political boss,
allow no man to offer him a bride
for his vote. and to vote for men best
qualified for ofice-men who will per-
form their every duty with justice and
impartiality-many of the causes of
friction between the two races would
be removed.
With the Negro not participating in
politics the white man considers any
thing he may Go towards giving the
race some of the benefits of govern
ment as an act of charity-a case O.
nobleSSe ObIige. He forgets that thu
Negro is paying taxes for those yer!
benefits and many others which he doe
not receive. This should not be, AM
