REPUBLICANS DIS
FRANCHISED THE NEGRO.

Former Congressman Dockery, OF
Missouri, now third assistant post
master-general, laid bare bit of po-
litical history which had been forgot
ten in these days. 1t concerns negro
disfranchisement.
Mr.. Dockery declare dthat it has
Monday of the announcement OF SEN
ator Vardanlan that he intends to
press amendments for the repeal of
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
merits to the constitution giving the
negro the ballot and citizenship.
Mr.. Dockery declared that it had
been apparently forgotten that the
Republican party was the first poll
tical organization to take steps to de-
prive the negro of the right to vote.
This was done, said the former Mis-
souri, congressman, in Washington,
the caip:al of the nation, and it was
done to Dust the negro from politics
in Washington City.
Prior to 1874 the people OF wash
inrton had the vote just the same as
those anywhere else. They enjoyed
local self-government and were rep
resented by a city council just like
che average American municipality
They had a governor instead of a
mayor, but the governor had about
the same functions as the mayor OF
any other city might nave.
1t happened that in 1874, however,
that the negro population became SO
active in politics in the district that
thcv were practically in control OF
thu city government. They were the
biggest factor in the city council;
thew had Most of the desirable JOBS
and were simply in political clover.
But just as 1T happened in the
South, it happened sn Washington
The negro as legislator and an OF
fce-holder was worse than failure.
AS a result of this investigation the
adt of June 20, 1874, was passed
This took the right Of suffrage away
from the District and restored the
government of Washington to the
House or Senate. The Office of gov
crnor was abolished and the city coun-
Gil passed along. A commission COM
posed of three members was created
as an executive force but no power 10
lugislate was vested in it.
"Back in the seventies when the
= Southern states were agitating the
questioning of DISTINGUISHING the ne
rroes, Republican debaters in the
House,, said Governor Dockery
"used to tear their hair and rage
about it. l never lost an opportunity
TO tell them that it was their owr
party that had started the disfran,
chisinr business ard that the start
was made right here under the dome
of the national, capitol"
Mr.. Dockery's statement, which !!
unanswsrable, will bring to tn
minds of many Alexandrians now ilv
,,r. scenes in and around this
during reconstruction days.

THEIR CLAIM TO FAME.


Xantippe was an ora1rcss of most
amazing power,
Sha lectuged poor old Socrates full
many a weary hour,
1t was her only claim to fame, her
reason for renown,
And so she jawed her worser-hall
all up and down the town.
So, history Will bear your name, if
you've a lashing tongue,
If through your years Of living you
have endless tiradss sung,
And many now are gaining fame il
just this self-same way,
And earn their salt Blu cursing ou.
their neighbors cay by day.
They stand upon the corners and
they tell you how the land
Is getting worse and going to the
dogs to beat She band,
They tell you that the men who ru-
the nation and the State,
Are merely crooks and graft crs anc
deserve prison fate.
Perhaps it is the only way these folks
can gain reDown,
And they are ever with US m each
village and each town,
And just like old Xaniippe, they are
trying hard to win
A place among the heroes by 10
of senseless chin.

Officers of the steamer Dora, which

sula, 80 miles to the westward, re-
ported on their arrival here at Sc
ward, Alaska, yesterday that on one
Of their trips last summer as they put
into Coal Bay, 100 miles west OF
Kodiak, they sighted strange yes
sci of about 800 tons at anchor near
the shore. The stranger put to sea
under gasoline power as soon as pos
sible after the Dora's arrival, with
out displaying any flag or return
ing answers about its identity. The
Indians on shore told the Do!-'s crew
that the strange craft was manned
by Japanese, who had been taking
soundings in the bay for ten days. In
the event of trouble with Japan, Coal
Bay would afford an ideal base for q
japanese fleet. From that point a.!
ports in Alaska would be at their
