BoNAPARTE's FIRM STAND.
Says Republican Party Must Not
Desert the Negro.

BALTIMORE, February 1O.-Attorney
General Bonaparte was at his city home,
Park avenue and Center street. yesterday.
Mr.. Bonaparte;" reporter asked, do
you not think it would be good thing
for Maryland to have the eternal negro
question settled once and for all?''
An excellent thing replied the Attor-
ney General, but the suffrage-or. rather
ti-suffrage-amendment wouldn't settle
it. There are questions which are
never settled until they are settled
right. and this is one OF them. A set
Element which involves injustice. disloy-
atty TO the Constitution and trifling with
the sanctity of others is. to my mind,
quite sure 10 prove no settlement at all.
You speak of 'disloyalty to the Consti-
tuition How can 1t be said fairly that
the amendment is unconstitutional until
the Supreme Court has so declared it?"
General. seems to me about equivalent
TO saying Cain wasn't murderer because
he was never indicted by grand jury.
convicted by petit jury or sentenced by
human Judge. The Constitution says
negroes shall not be denied the suffrage
because they are negroes. and this is pre-
cisely what this amendment Is intended
to do
But. Mr.. Bonaparte. 1t is not because
they are negroes. but because they are
ignorant and venal that they should be
disfranchised.'
Then" answered Mr.. Bonaparte let
those good citizens advocate the disfran-
chisement of ignorant and venal white
men also and l will believe them at least
sincere If a man sells his vote or
doesn't know how to cast 1t for the pub
lie good. the color of his skin or the fact
that his grandfather either had a vote or
hadn't can make no possible difference
do you think the amendment would. in
fact. eliminate an undesirable element
from each of the two great parties?
Would not the republicans probably gain
white votes if the great bulk OF the ne
groes were no longer vOters?
Il fail to see" replied the Attorney
General. ANY change for the better. or
indeed, any change at all. which its adop-
ton would make in the composition. pur-
poses or methods of the democratic party
in Maryland. AS for the republican party.
the question. to my mind. is not whether
it may gain few votes here or lose many
votes there. II demands. and always has
demanded. the same square DEAL for the
black man which it asks for the white
man. and when it no longer demands this
I. at least, shall be no longer a republi-
can.

Many of the dismissed employees of the
Washington navy yard returned to work

saving to the government OF $4,000
The quality Of the work turned out oy
