LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE

LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE,
Wind TANNER Bryan, elated with
the undeserved success of the Demo.
Gratis in the recent national election,
is asking little too much of his party.
In speech at dinner recently given
in his honor at Washington he urged
the adoption of nationwide prohibit
ton and woman suffrage which is a
little more than the average Democrat
can stand for. He also advocated
the passage of an amendment for the
election of the President by direct
popular vote and to amend the con-
stitution so as to make that instru-
ment more easily amendable. This
latter suggestion would undoubtedly
meet their hearty approval as the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution have been worm
wood and gall that they would like
very much to get rid of and In their
place put something that would further
outrage and crush the colored people.
We have got to stand the Democratic
administration for the next four years
but we most sincerely hope that after
that this beautiful land of ours will
not be cursed by their domination any
longer.

PENRosE FORCE BILL.

: Senator Boies Penrose Of Pennsyl-

introduce and press for passage, bill
that provides for Federal supervision
OF national elections. The object
sought is to put stop to the unfair
methods that have for many years
been practiced in the south which de-
prives majority of the colored men
from voting, although they were
counted to maintain the congressional
representation. 4. -
Speaking of the bill editorially, the
Pioneer Press states that it would
have no chance Of passing, while ad-
mitting the justice of the measure.
The Pioneer Press states facts, but.
is it not a sad commentary upon the
white people OF this country, that they
will deliberately act with such unfair
and inhuman spirit, knowing all the
while that they are absolutely wrong.

Is fact that right must prevail, the

dences of his wisdom, thought, logic

Press; and, if what he states is true,
and it must so stand until dispreved,
what he says ought to take some OF
the conceit out of some of the white

Z The Associated Press sends out the
news item that Prince George Of Bat
5tenberg, England, was recently
married to Russian countess, Node1a
de Torby, daughter Of Grand Duke
Michael Michaelovitch of Russia, a
cousin of the czar. The marriage
was witnessed by the King and Queen
OF England and other members of the
royal family. The incident is worth
our notice, because it badly splinters
Charles Darwin's theory Of 'reversion
to type" An analysis of the gen.
eology of this young Russian count.
ess, who is now member of the
British royalty, shows that she is a
direct descendant of Pushkin, the
only poet that the Russian empire
has ever produced. Alexander Push
kin's father was Hannibal, the coal
black Negro slave of Peter the Great.
The young Russian, countess is the
greatgranddaughter of the Negro. poet
Pushkin, and is accepted in Euro.
pean royal circles, thus associating
with the American Vanderbilts,
Astors, Thomas Nelson Pages of Vtr.
ginia and others who go abroad and
break into the British court circles.
The incident also shows that the
Slavic race, which is of an Oriental
origin, absorbs all other races and
peoples with which it comes In con-
tact, making them an integral element
OF the Russian empire. The great
Charles Darwin's postulate of the 're-
version to type" and the conception Of
Prof. Albert jerks of the University
of Minnesota, as regards the non
assimilation of the aliens who come
to our shores, and our utter failure to
assimilate the darker races are con-
trary to historic facts. The obituary
notice of Darwin's theory Of .'revers-
ion to type" has again been published,
and, like an old set Of harness, it
breaks every time it is used, because
the leather is old and rotten.

BAD MANAGEMENT.

The recent national election which
resulted in the dire calamity of four
years more Of Wilson,, was brought
about by the very bad management
Of the leaders of the G. O. P. Es-
pecially did they blunder in California
in not properly taking Hiram Johnson
into consideration and the state was
lost for Hughes by just 1887 votes
and Wilson won out. =.
The leaders of the G. O. P. did not
give the proper recognition the most
loyal class Of voters-the colored peo-
pie and but for their fealty and loyalty
to the Republican party Minnesota
would not have been in the Republican:
column, as it is officially decided that
Hughes plurality in Minnesota was
only 392.
The Republican campaign managers
had a fund Of $2,445,421 to make the
campaign with but they ignored the
colored newspapers. in the distribu.
tion of the same and it is now shown
that there was surplus of 1886
which could not have been devoted to
better channel than the loyal colored
newspapers. .
Roosevelt told the truth, too, in the
Metropolitan Magazine in which he
says, among other things:
1--WE have permitted our politicians,
our candidates for public Offices, to
