/ History does not bear out this
idyll; but whatever their faults, at
least The Acadians had the negative
virtue of possessing no slaves. The
/ curse came upon the land when the
English under CORVALLIS, founded
Halifax. Negro slaves were among
the population. and the papers OF
that time bear out he fact that slave
trafflcking was most fragrant.
The trade in Negroes was very
brisk for some years. The first Pres

Gazette and Weekly Chronicle adj

"25 years of age, good house SER
want" Although there was no sta'1ute
recognizing slavery in Nova Scotia,
it was an accepted fact that ii might
exist, although it was made as diff
cult as possible for the maS.er.
Slavery continued, however. Almost
every year we find records. of sales,
advertisements for runaway slaves
and other evidence. New Brunswick,
Prince Edward Island and the other
Maritime provinces had very much
rhe same history as Nova Scotia with
regard to Negro slavery. In Cape
\ Brenton, among various records of
marriages and deaths, there is one:
"A Negro slave was killed in 1871
by blow from a spade when trying
to force his way into public ball
in Sydney" For this act, the per-
petraOr of the deed was excluded
from his masonic lodge, was brought
to trial and "honorably acquitted

WOMEN, SOME OTHERS AND THE
ELECTION.

Many Of our women paid their poll
tax and voted. They are happy 20
day because Of the fact that by their
voting they have assumed their share
OF The civil responsibility delegated
every American citizen.
Too few OF them paid and voted
despite the fact that they were urged
in every conceivable way to do so.
They did no. fully realize its Inn
portance. They have missed the
thrill attendant upon having become
a full hedged citizen capable of
efficiently expressing their choice OF
public servants.
Our women conducted themselves
intellIgcntly and circumspec'ly in
their voting. They left no election
Judge ignorant of the fact they in
tended 10 vote the Black and Tan
ficket- They we're almost unanimous
in their vote. They declared them
selves as favoring their own inter-
ests and willing, in so far as they
were able, to stand up for The prin-
ciples Of justice and equity.
They have shown their race pride.
They must be happier by far than
that foremost pastor among us who,
by casting his vote for those whose
avowed intention was our elimination,
admitted his argument with their
policy. He is a Negro. He is a lead
er. He encourages race pride and
urges manly behavior upon his peo-
pie from his pulpit constantly.
We agree that it was his rieht to
choose those TO whom he would give
his support. He chose. He gave il
10 those who hIyled him most. Why
we can't say. We regret it, We
are surprised that it should have SC
happened. His people feel it. They
express themselves as being ashamed
Of his stand. We symDathize with
them. bu. we must admit that he
has fallen in our estimation.
We state again that it was his
right to woe as he pleased We are
highly surprised that he should have
chosen such course.
We are Of the opinion that mar
ought to be a real man. A leader
should be a leader indeed Our lead
ers especially, should STRIVE to SCI

followers.
It is our opinion that. .howevel

We say again-we are proud Of on

in knowing that they have done thei
