THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.

For several years the South has been
enacting laws to get the Negro out of
politics. Every state south of the Ma
son and Dixon line either has a law
or is endeavoring to enact one that
will in some way abridge the black
mans voting privilege. But try as
they may, a few Negroes continue to
vote in all the states. And when
these unconstitutional enactments are
put into operation it is, in most cases,
found to be hindrance to about as
many white as black men.
The State of Alabama is having her
troubles now over the operation of
the new election law, and it developes
that there are as many, if not more,
men who are debarred from voting by
the new statue who were intended
tc be favored by it as there are those
who we're intended to be affected, and
it is feared by those who are opposed
to the amending of the Constitution
that the new law is going to be the
cause of their defeat.
In Maryland the Democratic party
is crying for constitutional amend
ments that will prohibit a large num-
Der of Negroes from voting in that
State.
These thrusts at the black man will
strengthen him if he will study the
changes as they come and adapt him.
self to them. They are tests of the
stuff he is made of. He has overcome
greater obstacles than these, and we
believe he will outlive every law thai
is enacted to deprive him of his
rights. F,IG

Determination.
70 the NGShvtlle Globe:

10 the NGShVtIle Globe:
There are men who will succeed
despite fate-they move forward over
obstacles and present to cOntending
forces a sufficient amount of energy to
overcome and subdue opposition.
Their determination is of iron and
they press on toward the goal of their
ambition with an irresistibleness that
conquers untoward circumstances and
puts to fight the enemies of their
progress.
Men who look opposition in the face
with steady eye that means that
their sword will never be sheathed
until it surrenders, and that uncondi-
tionally, are the men who keep but
little noise, but they are eventually
heard from. Pigmy opposition will
ever raise its puny head, but it's fate
is the fate of its kind, it must inevita-
bly, go to the wall.
Where there is a will there is a way,
and that means where there is fixed
determination and corresponding &C
ton thereto, there is no earthly power
to prevent victory. Have a fight wor-
thy of your steel, and then fight. This
is the kind of determination that
lays low the evil geniuses that stalk
in the shadows to do their dark work
in killing worthy men.
Every man should fortify himself
against the arrows shot from the bow
of Giant Opposition by ever having
with him the shield of Determination.

New York Negroes Vote.

There are at least twenty-five thou
sand Negro voters in Greater New
York. The Republican party or flu
sion party is going to make a bid for
these votes. We want to ask, how
ever, what the Republican or fusion
party, or reform party, or whatever
its name may be, has ever done for
Negro voters in New York City in
the way of official recognition.
Tammany Hall keeps scores of Ne
groes in important positions. If the
fusionists or Republicans get in,
what will they do for the Negro? We
stand for good clean government
above all things. But even good
clean government takes with it rec
ognition in the way of offices.-The

NEGRO BANKS.

Negro bankers have made a great
record in this country. They have
gone through some of the severest
money panics the States have ever
known and still the failures is less
than ninty per cent of the whole
Of the fifty odd banks that have beer
established in this country by Negroes
only one has been a complete failure.
There are two banks conducted by
Negroes in this city and both of them
are having great success. They are
managed by men known to the people,
and their methods. of conducting banks
are such as to maintain absolute conf
dence. The officials of both institu-
tons report that their depositors are
gradually increasing, and that the
closing of other banks has had no ef-
feet on their business. This speaks
well for the Negroes, Of this city; and
what is true of the two banks here is
also true Of the banks conducted by
Negroes throughout the country.

THE oUTcAsT's DAUGHTER.

That thrilling Drama, The Out
casts daughter, will be played
tonight at Walden University, has
been mistaken for "Out in the
Streets" so successfully rendered
some time ago by another company;
by number of people who are not
careful in reading or investigation.
The dramas are entirely different, in
plot, plan, people and rendition.
There is nothing similar, except the
syllable Out" still the confusion has
occurred. The Outcast's Daughter
is founded on the history of vain
young woman who, after marrying at
an early age, discovers that she is
possessed of an extraordinary voice,
becomes famous as singer, deserts
her husband and infant child and aft
er triumph upon triumph on the
stage, finds herself longing for her
child and husband whom she desert
ed. The husband has had a wretch
ed experience; the daughter had
grown up, married and become the
mother of a child, and a widow en-
gagged as bookkeeper, who disowns
and denounces the truant mother,
secures thel iberationof her father
and marries man of wealth and po-
sition.
The heroine is Miss Fannie M,
Banks. Prof F. A. Randals repre-
sents Mr.. Ross, who owns the Fac
tory, in which number of girls are
employed who are jealous of The
Bcokkeeper, whom Mr.. Ross mar
ries. Mrs. ]. E. Miller portrays the
character of the Singer, Miss Hattie
E. Caruthers convulses the audience,
as Mrs. Wilmuth, the Ger man foster
mother of the heroine of the play
Mr.. R. ID. Dobson acts the part OF
Dennis, tn Irish Servant; Mr. VIM
Foster is the Gardener; Misses Lii
liam Banks, Clara and Hattie Hodg
kin the jealous factory girls; Mas
ter Thurston Lewis is the infant sor
of the heroine; Dr. ]. P. Crawford
tries Carl Faber, the husband of the
singer and father of Mrs. Stearn
while Messrs. Samuel l. Carter, Mer
Ger Lewis and J. e. B. Miller are Off
GERS of the Court, and Mr. A. N John
son portrays the character of "Tht
Outcast" husband of the singer an(
father of Mrs. Stearn. Thus it will
be readily seen that some of Nash
ville's best talent is employed.
The proceeds will be for the bene
fit of the George w. Hubbard Hos

VALUE OF CHICKENS.

The most valuable species of the
poultry family is without doubt the
chicken. While all fowls that are
raised for the table are classed under
the head Of poultry, ninety-nine out
of every hundred persons think only
Of the chicken when the word poultry
is mentioned. Everybody likes chick.
en-. Happy are those, especially that
portion of the human family not bur-
dened with the care of an abundance

to table laden with chicken fried
OF chicken in any style. The gravy
can be as it pleases, although that
asset is not to be scoffed at, but
above all let the fowl be there, drum
sticks, wings, gizzald and all. The
colored man is accused of having a
special fondness for chicken, which
is all right If hewill but look at the
subject in the proper light. He has
often been accused of taking his neigh
boris chickens. which if true was a
very mean thing to DO We are not,
however, considering that class, but
those, who have a desire to utilize the
opportunities in their reach
We said in the outset that of all
poultry the chicken was the most val,
liable. One statement can prove that
assertion to be true; the hen that is
properly cared for will, lay between
two and three hundred eggs a year
and then serve as substitute for g
turkey on Thanksgiving Day. No Other
fowl viii do that Furthermore, il
costs as little, if not less, to feed q
chicken than any other fowl. ANY
woman or child ten years old car

OF a twenty-fvefoot lot is sufficiently
large to accommodate enough chick

What You Can Do.

q
In our fight to defeat the amend
ment each member of the race has
something to do. Let none feel that
he or she is out of the fight. 1t may
may be, and it is more than likely
that there are many men who are
not interested in the matter one way
or another because they have not
been brought face to face with the
enormity of the calamity which
would befall the race were the
amendment to pass
In cases of that kind you can
wake those men up by telling them
what to do. 1t will not be amiss
for you to keep a copy Of the amend
ment in your pocket and read and ex
plain it to our people, on the street
cars, street corners, barber shops OF
anywhere else you happen to find
men who are not alive to the situa
! ton.
It will not be amiss to impress
upon our men, that should the amend
meRt pass, the next step will be tC

Disfranchisement in Philadelphia.
Disfranchisement of the Afro
American does not obtain alone in
the South, but here in the very shad-
ow of independence Hall in the great
city of Philadelphia. The only diff
ference between the North and
South-in the South the Afro-Amer-
lean, wherever he has been denied
the right of franchise, has been done
legally; in the North, for instance
Philadelphia, the great majority of
the Afro-Americans have been and
are now being disfranchised illegally
by the contractor-boss rule that con-
trolls and rules Philadelphia, and we
might add parenthetically, thousands
OF white men are disfranchised also,
for the reason they have for years
and are to-day blindly following the
political machine of corruptionists
that has held Philadelphia in its
grasp for, 10! these many years.
So what is the difference whether
the Afro-American lives North or
South, when it comes to voting, I'M
less he exercises his rights and pre-
negatives in Philadelphia in voting
against such combination that
holds this city with it's grasp so firm
ly. He just as well not have any
vote if that V te is debauched, bar
gained and trafficked, just like so
much merchandise, and that is the
case when he allows the contractor
bosses to dictate how he shall vote.
The Afro-American must now be-
gin to think for himself and not be
led around like so many sheep. We
have an alternative to change con-
ditiohs if we will by supporting D.

that is noble, honest and best in the
