THE INDEPENDENCE PARTY AND
THE NEGRO.

1lr. J. b. Allen of this city sees
in the independence Party the hope
of the Negro. He quotes from the
speech of Hon. Thomas L. Hisgen.
their candidate for the Presidency.
I'm his remarks made at Providence.
Rhode Island. August %. 1905. he
said:
ut lis our duty TO always bear In
mind the words of the Constitution
-ot Che United States. that no person
shall bee deprived OF life. liberty and
/ the pursuit or happiness. and that
every person us entitled TO equal
protection of the law.
This means equal and exact ius-
lice Tor all. regardless OF race, creed
and color Justice for the strong
and weak. the rich and the poor a.
like"
We fan TO see anything in these
assertions to cause q coIored voter
TO feel jubilant. Hon. William j.
Bryan has said as much. Mr.. His
gen does not say one word about
the political rights of the Negro.
neither does he pledge himself to the
enforcement OF the Fifteenth Amend
ment TO the Constitution of the u
nited States. on the other hand.
Hon. John Temple Graves of Geor-
gia is known 10 have an antipathy
to the colored people of this coun-
try.
The Republican candidates have
announced that they both stand
squarely upon the platform ADOPT
ed by the Republican National Con
vention at Chicago. Hon. James S.
Sherman. the Vice-presidentia nom
inee made a special reference to the
Negro in his speech of acceptance.
To our mind, Hon. Edward Chaplin
the Prohibition nominee for Presi-
dent of the United States, who at
the risk Of his own life and to his
own injury protected a coIored man
neeing from an Illinois mob did more
to entitle him to the support of
those doubtful colored voters than
anything else could do.
The Republican managers are
"hugging" the Negroes like an an
gel in the doubtful states and kick
ing him like the devn' in the
southern ones.

The Chinese delegates are practical
English-speaking men, one of them
being an eX-consul general at Singa-
pore. one a doctor educated abroad,
and one railway director well quail
fled to undertake preparatory work

sirable that effective measures should
be taken by the Chinese government
to prevent the Illicit importation and
sale of morphia, and especially is it
desirable that Japan, following the eX-
ample of other nations, should pro-
hibit the export of morphia TO China.

the reverse is the case.
DR.. Wright said that, contrary to
the general belief, the Chinese users
of the drug and the opium-eaters both
are anxious TO see the law enforced
as to its sale, while Chinese pip
ers' are strong advocates of total alb
stince from the drug for the rising
generation. His information as to the
white users of opium is not as definite
on account Of the greater difficulty
in locating them.
Dr. Wright declares there has been
a steady increase in importation of
opium into the United States since
1873, though there was a larger Chi
nese population then than now and
the laws against its importation were
not so severe.
The importation of the crude pro-
duct in the past five years has in.
creased 100000 pounds, he says.
The Chinese physicians, he declares.
are leaders in the effort to find a cure
for the opium habit They are now
using a cure discovered not long ago
in Shanghai, and they claim for it
success. The new cure is being tested
officially in New York.
DR.. Wright's studies have developed
that fifty per cent. of the Chinese in
the United States habitually use the
drug, thirty per cen. occasionally,
nearly twenty per cent. on rare oc-
~ sions and few refrain from it's
use. Seventy-five per cent. of the
opium brought into the United States
is made into morphine and ninety per
cent, of that drug is sold illicitly. ac-
cording TO DR.. Wright.
