stopped, he said, to have a check for

was out, and Hamilton, in apparent
distress, asked Hayes to oblige him by
lending him Sis, holding the check as

remained an hour and a half, check in

Then he went to a police station. The

Beer Famine at New Haven.

New Haven, July Several saloons
ABOUT the city have been forced to

THE epEFFERSONIAN


political rights Social Equality was express
~ denounced, and to every such denunciation
the negroes gave enthusiastic applause. eve
don't want it! We don't want it - was their
shout on the busting all over Georgia.
The negro Populists gave us no trouble
whatever. They were docile, they made no
demands, our only embarassments arose from
the fact that our antagonists would make bids.
But for this, the blacks would have been no
trouble to manage.
With the Republican swept out, the negro
would all have been ours, for the negro is
never Democrat-with the rarest exceptions.
And with the negroes all in our ranks, the
Republicans eliminated, and the Democrats
defeated, we saw no danger, no general men
ace, in the colored race. We had him under
complete control and meant to keep him so.
He had been taught our principles, believed
in them as we did, loved them as we did, and
in many instances which came under my OBJ
servation they were willing to suffer for them,
just as we did.
Ny deliberate conviction is that we offered
the best method of completely harmonizing
the two races, restoring the old ties of mutual
goodwill and confidence which the carpet
Dagger had disturbed. My purpose was to
release the South from the dangers Of the
negro question, and thu8 liberate her from the
dictation of the Northern and Eastern Demo
Gratis who compel her to accept platforms and
candidates repugnant to her principles and
interests. With the negro question controlled
by the South, and in the South, to the full
satisfaction of the negro himself, we could
then have allied ourselves to the West, elected
a truly Democratic President, and accom-
plished some truly Democratic reforms. I'm

chance for Jefersonian Democracy.
Of course, [ believed that the Populists
would absorb the great bulk of the whites Of
the South. and that is the way the dominant
race would remain united Had Hines, who
was elected in 1894, been declared Governor
Of Georgia, who can doubt that the mass Of
the whites would have been Populists at the
next election? And with Populism in Georgia
triumphant, who doubts what would have been
the progress of our party in other States? [
believe as firmly as I believe anything that if
Hines had been seated in 1894, Bryan and
Jones would not have scorned the Populists
in 1896; the reform elements would have
voted their full strength; Bryan and a Watson
man would have been elected; and the great
alliance Of the agricultural South with the
agricultural West would have peacefully and
gloriously revolutionzed our Government.
Before the united white men of the South,
and those of the West, the negro question
would have vanished. The reforms which we
would have effected would have given him
such solid, benefcent proofs of oar right to
rule, that the mere question of Office holding
would meyer have cut any figure at all. With
nobody to bid against as for the negro cote,
the zcreT Of d5scontent acouzd haze lacked a
fuzcruno.
So it seemed to me then; so it seems now;

educate the negro, the more completely you
Booker Westinghouse him, the greater his
desire for the privileges Of full citizenship,
the more uncomfortable the exclusion from DO
litical power
This must be obvious to all thinkers; and
yet the South is developing two radically an
tagonistic policies she is doing all she can
to elevate the negro to the height where he
will be wretched without the ballot and at the
same time she is throwing up barriers to keep
him away from the polls
What craftsmanship is there in this? What
sanity is in it?
Why make new Constitutions to exclude the
negro vote, and build new colleges to educate
him? The college is the masked battery which
will open upon your Constitution inevitably.
And there again you have discord, strife, bit
ter antagonisms
What Of the great mass of negroes rank
and file lust the common n1gger-what Of
him?
Is he better laborer than he was thirty
years ago? Is he a better farmer9 Is he more
skilled In planting, cultivating, sowing, reap
lngs Is he more provident? Does he take
better care Of land, house, and stock? Does
he live on higher moral plane? Does he
have any true conception Of government, civ
ilization, patriotism, religion? For thirty
years his labor has been his own-has he &C
cumulated property9
My opinion is that most Of these questions
must be answered, No. Census figures can be
quoted to prove how rapidly he has acquired
wealth. but those who know how census re-
ports are gathered will hesitate to believe
them in preference to their own eyes. Ac-
cording to the census reports $4,000 farms in
Georgia are owned by negroes. Nothing could
ho mon do 4pox> nh t., hi
Congressional District where live it can be
shown that fewer negroes own farms than in
1880; and there IS nothing exceptional about
this District-at least, not in that particular.
In my own county of McDuffe, where the gen
eral wealth has increased, the wealth of the
negro has diminished, until there are not a
dozen in the county who own unincumbered
realty. Yet the population is almost equally
divided, and twenty years ago there were
scores Of blacks who owned unincumbered
land. AS a farmer, as laborer, as property
holder, the negro is losing ground But the
schools have taught him how to read and
write and the Secret Society has given him a
fine conception of his own dignity. My cook
used to be Aunt Lizzie Reese; she is now
"Mistress Elizabeth Reese" My lot boy used
to be named Bill; the other servants now ad-
dress him as "Mister William" When Mister
William meets, at the front door, white lady
who wants to see us, the announcement is,
"There's woman at the door," When
negress taps at the back entrance, the an
nouncement Mister William makes it, 'There's
q lady who wants to see you" No lawyer,
am sure, has failed sooner or later to receive
a call from the messenger of "the colored gen
tleman in jail,' who is cruelty 'scused Of
somethin' concernin' of a hog"

same San Domingo
Therefore, the politicians who invoked the
power Of the negro vote in 1880, and infamed
his pride by such statements as have men
toned, did harm to both races, and put in
motion the ball which never ceased to roll.
ALI the conflicts we now have, politically, grow
out OF the fact that we now realize the errors
of 1880, and are trying to put the Djinn back
into the box. Does the highest, hottest inter
ests of the South demand that he should go
back into the box2 If SO we must put him
there no matter what New England may say,
no matter what Congress may do, no matter
what the negro himself may threaten Or at
tempt. Self-preservation is law to all, to
nations as to individuals, and will Justify any
policy which is consecrated to such purpose.
take no stock whatever in this maudlin
talk whose text is "Pity the poor negro; he
was forced to come here" Every sane man
knows that, in sum total, the South got the
curse Of slavery and the negro it's blessings.
Where else on earth is the negro doing SO we'll
as In the South9 Where else is the black man
citizen in the true sense of the word, with
schools, churches, professions, high Offices,
lucrative employmentsS Where else is the
black man leader Of civilized men, an editor,
an educator, holder Of patronage over the
whites, an officer who can issue mandates to
the whites, bishops whose words carry infu-
ence in counse1s Of the church; politicians
whose will is felt in grave deliberations Of
state, school-teachers, who in New York can
enjoy the luxury Of beating white children or
who can, as welcome guest sit down to meat
with the ruler Of eighty million peoples
Suppose @ white man in Germany, opposing
some measure Of State, were to make such
speeches as are made by the negro lawyer,
Hayes, or by the negro bishop Turner
would such an incendlary be left free to go
on his jubilant way? Suppose an Irish mem
Der Of the British parliament had dared to
publicly utter such language does anybody
doubt that dungeon would have Rugged him
in before nightG
The truth is that the negro is SO much better
of in this land to which he WIS "forced to
come" than be is in any other part Of the
world, that he is suffering from the riotous
greed, aspirations and insolence Of the over
pampercd favorites of his race The great
mass Of the negro race ls endangered by the
offensive and never ceasing self assertion Of
certain leaders who have become "too big for
their broeches."
When the Peoples Party sprang into life the
negro question was the most perplexing one
which confronted us. What should we do?
If we ignored him entirely, he would become
o. balance Of power to destroy us. Neither Of
the opposing parties would hesitate to use him
to defeat U.s. Would it not be best to invite
him to our meetings, give him political edu-
cation, take his guidance into Southern hands,
and cultivate his conGdence9 If we could do
this successfully, we would destroy the Reprb-
hcan party, in the South. We did muster the
negroes to our mass-meetings we did educate
them On political questions, we did draw them
by thousands out of the Republican ranks.

DRUNKEN AU7OIS7S DELIBERATELY
HOLD UP STREET CAR THREE TIMES

The Fool-killer was surely mapping
or he would certainly have given his
attention to the party of drunken hood
lums who made a disgraceful exhibit
tion of themselves last night, while
packed in motor car No. 701, owned
by Lorrin X. Smith, the machine be-
ing p Loccmohile touring car.
The party, who looked like white
men, had been tanking up round town
all the evening and creating a dis
turbance with vocal and instrumental
accompaniment. Some of them kept
entirely in the car, others favored
letting their legs dangle over the
sides.
Rapid transit car No. Al left the
corner of Fort and Hotel streets at
5:US o'clock bound for Waialae. At
the corner of Bishop street the chauf-
feur deliberately drew up in front of
the car and remained there as long
as he pleased
The auto kept alongside of the car
the occupants gibing at the conductor
and those aboard, to the Palace switch
when the chauffeur drew ahead and
stopped in a narrow section of the
road between the curbing and the
car lines.
The motorman made a good stop
bringing his car to a standstill a few
inches from the auto. Had he not
had all his wits about him the ma,

a nasty accident resulted.

there will be no further trouble, we
hope added Judd.

day was more explicit than the press
dispatch and it read as follows:

The above cable was received by
Commissioner c. S. Judd of the Board
of Agriculture this morning. The
message is from State Horticulturist
Jeffrey of Sacramento and is in an
swer to a cable sent by Judd in re-
gard to the quarantine of Hilo grass
and banana leaves, when used for
packing fruit.
Tomorrow afternoon the Board of
Agriculture will take up the matter
Of the ban placed on Hilo grasses by
the California authorities. Commits
sioner Judd stated this morning that,
il the shippers of fruit wake up and
comply with the new conditions as
regards packing of pineapples and
bananas, there will be no trouble.
"Hilo grass is the thing objected 70
by the inspectors at San Francisco,
and it is thought that the fruit fly
might be INTRODUCED into California
through that medium in which the
fruit is packed" said Mr.. Judd.

entered into the spirit Of the thing
with uproarious glee.
Conductor Wood jumped from the
car to take the number of the auto
and was greeted with a volley Of
abuse and an invitation to take a ride

After some time the auto pulled out
Of the squeeze and the car proceeded

Finally the auto moved on and pull

The admiral stated that steamers
leaving Liverpool or other European
ports with cargoes consigned to the
Orient would take with them all sup
plies of every kind that would be need
cd for the long voyage; that they would
only in exceptional instances stop en-
route to take on supplies, and that the
port where they would stop in such
would be the one least
out Of their way where they could
be sure of being able to get what they
required and where they could buy
cheapest.
The only reason for a steamer to
stop at any port, added the admiral,
"is that she may get something ont
of it, Business is business in ship
ping circle as much as, if not more
than, in other commercial circles.
Make it of sufficient interest for ships
to call here by insuring them freight
and making port charges AMI other
costs low and they will make the port.
Freight and passenger steamers are
not sent out for pleasure cruises;
they go where they can get business. "
