Sue. a Celestial Of approximately twenty
eight years, who took French-or Chinese
leave Of Capt. Warden and the Cape
Breton at about 30 o'clock Sunday
morning while the vessel was lying in
the middle Of the harbor at Baltimore.
The clue which led Capt. Warden and
Frederick W. Sanborn, agent for the
owners Of the boat, to Washington was
that some one had heard Wang Sue say
he would like to visit this city
The Cape Breton is now anchored in
midstream off the Washington harbor
while the search for Sue is prosecuted. A
careful guard is maintained to prevent
me escape of any other members of the
Chinese crew.

Negroes and Mr.. Bryan.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In your recent editorial. Denver and
the Negro among other things, you say:
ION the question of southern disfran-
chisement. what negro. living north, east
or west would serve his race by helping
to bring in Mr.. Bryan?'
venture to state you are not cognizant
of the fact that the steam roller in Chica-
go ushered in a new political world for
the negro in the short period Of a day,
and that he has been transformed from a
cringing sycophant into man. able to
comprehend the principles and policies of
the two great parties as they AFFECT his
political welfare. He knows that the
only difference between the two parties
is one is inside looking out and one is
outside looking in, with great hopes of
getting in. One DISTINGUISHES him. the
other says it is good thing, push 1t
along.
ed the same doctrine not long since about
DISTINGUISHING the negro which has been
the democratic slogan for years. And
when we reason that this democratic an
tagonism is founded upon the negro's
hostility to the economic conditions in the
south. in DISTINGUISHING him the demo-
cratic party did what the republican par
~ would do under similar conditions or
circumstances.
The disgraceful dismissal of the BLACK
antipathies, aversion or odium. and the
intensity Of the venom lavished on the
negro universally In Chicago during the
republican convention when he asked for
his political rights. clearly indicated the
feeling of the republican party toward the
negro.
Though the few negroes who are grovel-
ing at the administrations hog trough
and their fawning satellites. prospective
pigs, produce the argument of The Star
and go further in claiming from the gid
DIV heights of the highest administration
flagpole that the negro to a man, and
everybody else, will vote the republican
ticket this fall, 1t Is fact known to the
political seer and professional politician
that the present convulsed and perturb-
ed state of the negro voter clearly indi-
fearful political revolution unless saved
by a timely expression on the Browns
willie affair by the republican standard
bearer or the interference OF the genial
spirit of concession or compromise. This
state of affairs is not thing which ex-
lists in name only, a shadow without a
substance a mere childs fancy, but a
stern reality.
During the Cleveland administrations
the negro was treated well and a great
deal better than he has been during the
latter part of this regime, though that
great, noble lamented President knew
that to a man. the negroes voted the re-
publican ticket.
He did not preach the square deal, but
he acted it. He belongs In the class with
Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley
and Foraker.
Mr. Bryan if elected cannot treat the
negro any worse than he is now treated
