Norfolk WIN Ask for s1.ooo.oo

At the next session Of Congress. Nor
folk will ask for an appropriation Of
Ac0oO0 for additional harbor improve
ments. With that amount it would be
possible 10 give Norfolk a thirty-fve-foot
channe. 20 the sea. and by using the
amount left over from recent improve
ments the bar In the mouth OF Chesa-
peake Bay could be removed. thereby
giving Norfolk facilities on a par with
any port in the country. The improve
ments contemplated would benefit New
port News, and the citizens Of that town

The Southern Man and the Negro.

Editor Tho Washington Herald:
At this time when the attention Of the
country is being directed toward the
negro on account of the alleged dlsaffec-
tion said 70 exist In the ranks Of the
colored Republicans. and the attitude dis
played at the Chicago convention toward
the Southern delegates. I have been
asked 20 give some expression of opinion
as to the relations that exist between
the better class of Southern whites and
the better class OF the negro race.
There is no galnsaying the fact that
the race question. which was peculiarly
sectional. has now. through the evolution
Of politics and the preachings OF certain
demagogues who are galilvanting about
the country IN their ceaseless agita-
tion Of the race problem. become a ma
tional issue. They do nothing to facll-
tate those cordial relations that should
exist between the two races. but are con
tinually creating race antipathy.
This class OF self-styled leaders
have done nothing but to retard the
progress Of the masses OF negroes. for
they well know that the bulk Of them
must necessarily live in the South: that
being a fact. they must have the friend
ship and assistance Of the Southern
whites
As an instance Of the aforesaid friend
ship, l have only TO refer to the esteem
with which the Hon. John c. Capers "a

opposition OF these self-styled lead

the dismissal OF the colored troopers. but
