NAME HAYES AND HARRIS Hayes Is Well Known Through Virginia Constitutional Cases—Harrisia, Lawyer, Has Been Delegated to National Conventions Since 1880—Other News. RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 4.—There is quite a flutter among colored Republicans in the State, especially in Richmond in the eastern section of the State. It has been given out that President Roosevelt has signified his intention to give recognition to the Negro vote of Virginia, which is always solidly Republican, by way of a Presidential appointment. Should the President see fit to so honor one of our race, there is much of conjecture as to who will receive the plum. The two most prominent in the public eye are Hon James H. Hayes of Richmond and the Hon A. W. Harris of Dinwiddie (Petersburg). Mr. Hayes has gained a National reputation through his association with Captain John B. Wise as counsel in the Virginia constitutional case and in the tour of Washington East in the interest of flight. He also did effective work during the recent campaign, especially in what was supposedly the doubtful States. Hon. A. W. Harris is also a lawyer. He enjoys the unique distinction of being the only Negro in the State who has been a delegate to every Republican National Convention from 1880 down to 1904, going three times as one of the delegates large. He has always been an eager party leader of Virginia from the county of Dawndie and the city of Petersburg. He drew the bill and carried it to success for the founding of the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute at Petersburg, the State institution for the education of Negro youth. It was mainly through his influence with his sixteen Negro colleagues in the Legislature that the university founding a State College for white students, there being much opposition to the measure among the white members of that body. These two acts and his speeches in the legislature advocating liberal pensions to ex-Conferrators, have made him a host of friends among the white people. Thousands of whom are Republicans. Mr. Harris of Virginia long campbell Spring Virginia a long Republican Congressman, Judge L. L. Lewis, probably the next nominee for Governor, and the leading Republicans of the State. The Reformer and the working colored politicians of this section are for Harris. Just what position may be tendered a Virginian no one seems to know, but the party leaders will help him. The Registership of the Treasury, should the President decide on a change in those offices. No Negro in Virginia has ever held a Presidential appointment The Negro Agricultural and Industrial Society of Virginia met at St. Luke's hall on the 10th instant. This is the society of which James H. Hayes is solicited or through which the light to test the constitution of Virginia was inaugurated. Lawyer Giles B. Jackson is leaving no stone inured to have Congress make an appropriation for a Negro exhibit at the proposed Jamestown Tercentury.

The discussion as to the wisdom or folly of reducing Southern representation as a remedy for the defiance of Afro-Americans may be illustrated by a brief overview of the conditions under watch the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments were enacted. It will be found that these Amendments mark three stages in the development of Northern settlement toward the Afro-Americans. With the exception of an enlightened majority, the North, during the first year or two of the Baháí Revolution, refused to face the truth that the motive of the war was African slavery. But the brilliant record of the Afro-American soldier and the horrors of the war soon caused antipharynx sentiment to spread like wildfire throughout the North. In 1864 Mr. Arnold of Illinois, speaking in the House, woke the predominant opinion of the North in the following sentence: "In view of the long catalogue of wrongs which it has inflicted upon the country, I demand today the death of African slavery." In notification of the Emancipation Proclamation the _ Thirteenth _ Amendment was issued. When Andrew Johnson became President, the artful stories of leading South men, who are attempting the same course to-day with President Rescuevil reduced him to restore the governments of the Southern States to those who had a few months previously been in armed rebellion against the Nation. Their first act was to regenerate the freedmen and annul the Thirteenth Amendment by means of outrageous vagrancy laws. Congress was therefore compelled, in order to protect its legal black citizens and uphold the Thirteenth Amendment, to pass the first section of the Fourteenth Amendment, which establishes the Afro-American's civil rights. The second section of the Amendment well represents the uncertainty which at that time precluded in the North as to the wisdom of enduring the freedmen with the ballot. There were some clear-headed men who saw the folly of bestowing civil rights upon the Afro-American without giving him the ballot with which to protect them, and who also perceived the apocalyptic which votions citizens would present in a Republic. But there was another party which, through lingering prejudice toward the black man or all too magnanimous regard for the prejudices of the South, hesitated to give the right of suffrage to the freedmen. As a compromise between these two parties the second section of the Fourteenth Amendment was formulated, which acquaints in a half-hearted way both at distrustment and enfranchisement of the Afro-American. In effect it left to the South; the black man's enemy, the choice between granting and withholding the ballot; but with the hope of inducing the South to grant the ballot, a penalty of a reduction of representation was provided for grinding it. It must not be supposed that Congress was blind to the fact that this section of the Fourteenth Amendment licensed the South to refuse the ballot to the freedmen. Senator Summer opposed the Amendment on the ground that it was "a proposition which seems to me nothing else than another compromise of human rights." It will "blot out a whole race politically," said he. Mr. Shellbarger of Ohio condemned the Amendment because "it complements and provides for and in that way authorizes the States wholly to disfrankes an entire race of people." To remedy this obvious defect of the Amendment, Mr. Eliot of Massachusetts vainly moved to amend it by adding: "and that the elective franchise shall not be denied or abridged in any State on account of color." When the Fourteenth Amendment was laid before the ten Southern States still outside the Union they rejected it one and all, thus proving to the North that its hope that the Amendment would induce the South to grant the suffrage to black men was ill-founded. This act of defiance on the part of the South at last screwed up the North's resolution to the sticking point, and the Fifteenth Amendment, that absolute and unequivocal guarantee of the Afro-American's political rights, was added forever to the United States Constitution. The words of this Amendment can never be repeated too often by our TROC: SECTION 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States State or local laws, on account of our previous condition of servitude. SECTION 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. i. Remedy for Distranchisement. Remedy for Distractions曼恩 In the symposium which appeared in the last two issues of The Aco, and to which some of the strongest and most influential men of the Afro-American poetic contribute, together with the attitude of many nine per cent. of the Afro-American newspaper, it is unilaterally demonstrated, we believe, not only that the Afro-American one people are opposed to the enforcement of that provision of the Fourth Amendment of the Federal Constitution which makes reduction of Congressional representation a sufficient penalty for disfranchisement, for other causes than "participation in revolution or other crime," a provision which would by appropriate legislation allow all of the States of the Union, as all of them enforce ballot contributions of one sort and another,—but that the embodiment of the provision by Congressional contributions would function disfranchisement which it now exists "on account of the lack or provision condition of participation in the lower wide open the four states of the Union does not now exist." The purpose for the reduction of support of Congress as a means for enfranchisement, for other cause than "presentation in coalition or other crime" would affect any State in the Union which by influence either than by Constitutional authority has insured and enforced ballot restrictions because of ignorance, poverty, failure to pay certain taxes, and the Bill; and for this reason, if no other, it is not probable that such legislation will ever be enacted by the Congress. Furthermore, it is shown in our historical review of the war Amendment, prepared by Mr. R. L. Stokes of the editorial staff of Tux Aum, that the best and wisest friends of the Afro-American people in the Congress at the time were opposed to the adoption of the provision 'b' of the Constitution making reduction of representation a penalty for disfranchisement for other causes than "participation in rebellion or other crime." It is also a matter of history that the Fifteenth Amendment was adopted to forever safeguard the ballot rights of the Afro-American people. Following is the Amendment: SECTION I. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in the United States, or by any State, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. This article may be reproduced or enforced without this article by appropriate legislation. There is no parametrical qualification in this article; it is an explik of its prohibition upon the United States and upon the States as language can make it. The disfranchisement complained of, and for which a remedy is asked of the Congress, is covered by the Fifteenth and not the Fourteenth Amendment. A close study of the speeches of those who framed the offending Constitutions of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi will show that "race, color and previous condition of servitude," and not "participation in rebellion or other crime," was the provoking cause in every instance, and that no attempt was made to disguise this fact. To correctly interpret an act of legislation we are compelled to study the motives of those enacting it, as well as to judge of its effect in operation. When this is done, in studying the enactment and operation of the disfranchisement constitutions of the States here indicated, even as we study the attitude and utterances of the Fathers who made the Constitution of the United States, we shall inevitably and unavoidably reach the conclusion that "race, color and previous condition of servitude" was the motive for the legislation and has been the effect of it in operation in every instance,—the avoided object sought and accomplished being to disfranchise as many black and as few white citizens as possible. It was thought by Senator George of Minnesota, the father of the disfranchising movement, and by Senator Tillman of South Carolina, and others of the framers of the disfranchising Constitutions of certain of the States, that the citizens of other States, in which Afro-Americans were not a considerable factor in the population, would wink at the disfranchishment "because of race, color or previous condition of servitude," as blood is thicker than water; and this may have been done if those States had not been placed at as much disadvantage, in the operations of the disfranchishing Constitution, as they had been under the Slave Constitutions of the same States, before the adoption of the War Amendments, in the vital matter of proportionate representation in Congress and the Electoral College. The advantage which the Southern States have enjoyed in this respect since 1678 is as seriously felt now by the other States of the Federal Union as was the undue and monstrous advantage enjoyed by the Slave States, because of the slave population, before the War of the Rebellion. We assume, then, that what justice and equity require in the present deplorable condition of affairs,—in which a large section of the citizenship is deprived of its Constitutional right to vote and be voted for, and a majority of the States are placed at serious disadvantage in their representation in Congress and the Electoral College, is that the facts as to the enactment of the disfranchising constitutions of certain of the States and the effect of their enforcement upon the proportionate representation of all of the States, shall be judiciously ascertained, to the end that appropriate legislation, if it should be found that any is needed, may be enacted by the Congress. That the Fifteenth Amendment has been violated in the enactment and enforcement of the disfranchising, constitutions of certain of the States has been indirectly admitted by the Federal Supreme Court in Giles v. Alabama, in which the contention is held to be political and not judicial, and by the House of Representatives, content of Dantler v. Lever, in which the contention is held to be judicial and not political. When the highest law-making and law-interpreting bodies of the Republic so radically differ upon a manifest question of Constitutional law it is manifestly mandatory upon the Congress (Art. XV. Sec. 2) to ascertain the real facts and remedy the violation of the first section of the Fifteenth Amendment by appropriate legislation, as it is clear on the face of it that the violation and remedy are to be found in the Fifteenth, rather than in the Fourteenth Amendment. The fact can be judicially acertified by a special Congressional Committee or by a competent non-partisan commission authorized by Congress, to be appointed by the President by and with the consent of the Senate. The findings of such committee or commission would be an authoritative basis upon which to predicate the remedial legislation demanded by the defrauded Afro-American electors and the elucidators of States outside the defrauding States who are affected in juriously in their representation. T. THOMAS FORTUNE. Governor Yankee of Minnesota made an indictment against the National Estate Convention security at New Orleans, and so offended the judge present that they left the hall. Great News! Public, Social and Federal Rights The division between public and social and private rights is no easily down by common- and statistic lay that no constitution provokes it except when a question of race is imposed into the discussion. The line is then stratenched by the judge or judge to meet the requirements of their preferences or what they imagine to be the preferences of a majority of the people, if not of powerful individual, social or corporate interests, as often happen, and has inevitably happened in most of the Courts, Federal and State, where the civil rights of Afro-Americans were in dispute. Indeed, the Federal Supreme Court, by affirming the unconstitutionality of the Summer Civil Rights bill, put a premium upon class legislation by the States, a food of which the States, especially the States of the South, have since enacted. But the Court did more than inflict a moral wound upon the body of civil rights of 10,000,000 coequal citizens: it created widespread confusion in the public mind as to the division line between public and social private rights which had therefore been so sharply drawn by the common and statute law. And the Supreme Court has maliciously and studiously refused to recode from the false, unenable and pervasive attitude it took on this question, in the opinion of Chief Justice Wash. - an opinion as unjust and degrading in its way as the infamous decision of Chief Justice Tuney, in the Dred Scott v. Sandford case in 1858. But the wrong committed by the Chief Justice Justice Opinion and constitution created by it will be corrected by time and enlightened public opinion, which makes laws alike for congress, legislatures and courts. Indeed, the whole question is now receiving such attention as it has not hesitated received, because of the radical attitude which President Reccovelt has taken, notably in his recent Union Juge address, at Philadelphia, towards the usurpation of public rights by private corporations and the arbitrary and extortive manner they have abused their usurpation to enrich themselves at the public expense. In the end it will be found that if Congress has power to control railroad shipping rates, so that there shall be no discrimination between individuals or of shipping potash, it has power also to regulate and control passenger rates, so that there shall be no discrimination between races and the like. Then separate car laws, which legalize violation of contract, will have to be done away with. It is bound to come to this. The prevalent notion that railroad, steamboat, hotel, theatre and like enterprises of accommodation, comfort and amusement are not public in character, but private, and that they are free to discriminate airspace between individuals and races or by sanction of special legislation, which the Federal Constitution prohibits, is just as perkulous and untenable doctrine as that separate schools or pro rata distribution of school funds has any basis in justice or sound public policy. Social and private rights are such as the individual controls independently of the public and which cannot under any circumstances be touched, regulated, or controlled for the public benefit. The New York Court of Appeals has just decided a case is point, declaring that a Rochester bootbuck act within his rights when he refused to shine a black man's shoes, but if his stand had been in a hotel or other public place the decision would have been different. Similarly a man may refuse to have a person he dislikes enter his home and dine at his table, and act within his rights, but when he wants another man to vacate a railroad car or steamboat cab, or hotel or theatre, and the like, he does not act within his rights, because the other man has paid or would pay the same charges as he in a public place operating under a franchise or license and subject to public control and regulation. So public taxation should be enjoyed equally by all when expended in whatever way for the public benefit or comfort because contributed to equally by all the people. All enterprises are of a public character which derive their franchise or license from the public. No discrimination that does not apply equally to all lawfully be made by such enterprises, and the New York Sun knows this very well when it tells the Jews to good and patient, and not to seek legal or other redress, when they are barred out of certain hotels because they are Jews. We have gone into this matter at length because a number of our newspapers have shown a lamentable ignorance, and capitaines in discussing the refusal of some Wichita, Kansas, hotel keepers to entertain Dr. Booker T. Washington. In taking accommodation in the hotels at the places where he lectures or has other engagements he acts within his rights. That is what the hotels are for, to accommodate persons who have no fixed abode in the place they temporarily find themselves. But these editors of our belong to the school, which white clamoring against the separation of the races, damned Mr. Frederick Douglas for marrying a white woman. Prof. Roscoe Cookling Bruce's statement that "a characteristic of urban Negro population is excessive crime" stirred up the editor of the Boston Skunk to transports of manage rage. Yet, only a week before, this same editor printed with frantic applauses the practically equivalent statement of Dr. DuBois, in his "Dr. Dibit and Credit," that there is "a still threeminning redemption of crime; poverty and ignorance among ourselves." We could at length expose other incestivities of this Boston editor. But, as Lening said, "Why build a funeral pyre to burn a gossip?" President Roscoe has re-appointed Oll. Lewis Lovis to be Surveyor General of Louisiana and Mrs. Walter L. Orsan to be Brigmaster of the Land Office at New Orleans. It is understood in Washington that most of the Afro-American new building Presidential appointees, were continued to office. If the presidents there will be some very hard part from the unstable ones, who think that could years is plenty long, enough the war will man, including the President, to hold an executive, administrative or diplomatic position. The white National Guard of Georgia declined to take part in the Mongol coronation, March 4, because of alleged poverty. The Afro-American part of the Guard at Macon made arrangements to stefan and applied to Governor Turnell for permission to do so; this he peremptorily declined to give upon the insulting ground that it would reflect upon the dignity of Georgia to be represented by Negro troops! Bahl G. Governor Turnell realise that the war was ended and the slave made a citizen thirty years ago? LIVING EXAMPLES OF TUSKEGEE'S INFLUENCE Through the work and influence of such young men as James M. Ounty and other graduates and ex-students who, like him, have been trained and educated for lives of usefulness at the Tuubese Institute, the value of a good, systematic course of industrial training is made indispensably manifest. There are many Negro young men and women on the roll of the school's former students, who, like Mr. Ounty, before coming to Tuubese were shifting from one occupation to another with no dedicate aim or purpose in life; with no intent for what purpose or by what means, by attaching themselves to this training, to the idea, the heart and the hand,—have been given a purpose in life, have been taught the dignity of labor, of serving others, who, in fact, have been made life with an altogether different view. Since graduating, Mr. Canyt has put to practice the lessons of thrift, economy and helpfulness to others that were instilled in him. He has also advised the advice so often given Tuckekee students by Principal Washington, that it is much better to settle in some community and begin the buying of property, of be from place to place. Soon after Mr. Canyt graduated from the academic and blacksmithing departments of the institution, with the class of the school has well call for a man to take over the duties of the University of Mechanics of the West Virginia Colored Institute. Canyt was recommended, and began work in this position in 1898 where he has been ever since. He has proved to be a very valuable man and an important member of the school. He number of years the school was small and his duties were many and varied. He carried on all the industrial work with no assistants. He taught smithing, carpentry and mechanical drawing, and besides this, he taught the mechanics of the school, and the heating apparatus of the buildings. Before plumbing was taught at Tuckekee, Canyt was a student here and did considerable piping for the institution, thus getting training which him in good stand in his later work.

Out of the South has come again the gory of "Jungle domination." This time the plan is not enveloped in the overcrowding tower of direct statement and learned reduction; but, acting itself in the subtle and plausible setting of offensive and dramatic fiction. The world has tired of long dissertations upon the Southern white man's self-conceived fears, and this the Southerner has discovered. Fearful of losing the felicitation of the North, the South has adroitly turned to the lighter and more insulating lines of fiction. To this new field it has brought the fire of its ancient passion, the old love of adventure, the grace and ease of finesse and the sweet dreams of posts and love lorn awake. The lead of the nightingale is aromatic with romance, and now the entrancing illusions of the imaginative bear the tale of tribulation, the wall of fear and the dreams of pride that the fast-fading Bourbon crosses to his cloistered self, and underneath all there is forever hid and overwhelmed with contempt and an overwhelmed fury. Sook is the cry of two recent books whose pages I shall open for you, and try to put them into my purse. They tell of the old days long dead; and they sing of a fear that is not worthy of men. Bearing the exiting title, "The Chumans," this book of Mr. Dixon was published by the American love of exaggeration and misstatement, Mr. Dixon has risen rapidly to fame in the Leopard's Spots' series, pursued there and leaving a glamour of falseness and bitterness, has paged. Its author made a frantic attempt to sit down and write, but failed; then came the bitter childhood wall of "The One Woman," and now by the magic of despair he has sprung aloof to "The Chumans" through his last book. With the enthralling skill of a master showman he chooses before an entrance and audience the historic figures of Lincoln, George Washington, Glauce and others prominent in the days of the Reconstruction. Paleozoic and fact become sisters to love and drama under the shilling spell of tragedy. Pluto, the planet of the moon, and the lurid famine of passion and bawlty traffic a tragic light. Under the spell of force and action the reader moves into the darkened depths of Negro crime and cragging; and the awful barbary of the infamous Ku-KluX-Khan becomes as chivalric as the beautiful truths which Kalkalghood tangent. Around the room the air is filled with the sweet-socated zephyr of Southern ease and beauty of Southern love and chivalry. A world of lies and measures yet blooming in entrenching drama. For the first time, the shower he holds forth in the American pubi THE LATE DR. PHILLIPS Fifty Years a Druggist and Successful Business Man. In the death of Dr. George S. Phillips, who died suddenly of apoplex at his residence, 200 Johnson street, Wednesday morning, Jan. 25, 1900, one of Brooklyn's old landmarks has passed away. As a citizen and business man he stood foremost in the first Afro-American graduates of the New York College of Pharmacy, served as an apprentice one year with Dr. P. A. White and six years with Dr. James McCune and conducted a successful business as a druggist in one community for fifty-one years. He was a member of Sloam Pobsterian church for forty, odd years, twenty of years, another borer, and was a trader for six years. His first wife was Kim Murray. To them were born six children; three—one daughter and two sons—survive him. His wife, who he was married thirty eight years, his funeral services were held from Sloane Prebysterman Church Sunday afternoon of the day, and his funeral service, space being at a premium. The services were conducted by Rav. W. A. Alexander, assisted by Rev. W. R. Lawson, bilingual; also spoke in the praise of him. The pall bearers were A. D. Hampton, Frederick Baker, M. P. S. Sanders, C. H. Lansing, W. M.ars, and T. B. McKell. The three bearers were those bearing the words, "Husband," "Fail er., "Grandpa," and "Great Grandfather," were especially attractive. Dr. W. R. Lawson, fifty years later, his remains were interred in the family plot in Greenwood Cemetery. PEN PICTURE OF DUBOIS. Drawn by a Home. Artist after Close Range. Study. Dr. Jordan in Newark. Rev. L.

The challenge for the plunging demand for extinction of the Negro has been modified to simple expedition. The spots have changed, but only the color of the skin of the author has called forth the spirit of "The Glassman" amid a shower of toads and dips to spell the magic word that shall erase dreams and ideas. Has he succeeded? The world has learned one bitter lesson from Southern prophets. The North is the slenderest of the slenderest; the South beats itself against its own pride and injunction; and the crisis of its vikimals and the abouts of its vikorites shall trample itself, shall unmask the question of its own strength more tremble and little soul flee. But let us turn from the song of feast and the drage of oppression that "The Clanman" walks, to the crisis of unequal rights for the poor and the impetus for truth and pride of ancient wrongs have wring from the sick soul of the South. Mr. Emerson Hough, who soared to an uncertain yet lucrative fawn of the West, has written a sweet romance upon a time of falsehood. "The Law of the Land," his latest book, might well be called a Southern idyl framed in the lawlessness of that land. "The Law of the Land," he writes, of Southern hospitality and heartlessness. There is an artistic and descriptive curtain drawn over the injustice and cruelty of the South; and as if by agony "The Law of the Land" is a modern substitute for the fears and demands expressed in "The Clanman." This book, while not no rosa in its propreties, nor so foul in its moralism, is still applied to the political subjugation of the Negro. It is as tragic as "The Clanman," as forceful and as pervasive in its unjust purpose; yet there is no reason to doubt its power. Still, the subtle hand of the magician is here, twisting facts and distorting truth. Indeed, the book would not be Southern had it not that sweet falsehood which is the especial adoration of the Southern gentleman. "The Law of the Land" has more grace of movement and less hurdiness of feature in its spectacular review of characters. He is the author of the book, and are really pleasant persons. The Colonel, although rabid, also has changed his spot. He is rather tolerant of the Negro; but he is also more sympathetic to the true Southern idea in his defense when he agrees that although the Negro has a voice he cannot govern the white aristocracy of the South. There must be as much respect for the Negro as for Mr. Hough's book will do much toward smoothing the way for Southern evils and atrocities. It will soothe the disturbed and make the more than will the day of Mr. Dixon be well. UK. BHAULC10 or US1000... His Views on the Race Problem Broad and Generous To the Rev. H. B. Brendel, D. D.

If the avowed followers of our Lord and Savior would, everywhere, fashion their conduct in accordance with the noble proptics which you have set out in the attributes of men and women will bless our country with such exalted sentiments and the show of true discipline of our blessed Lord. The peoples of both colors would enjoy a better understanding, and I have amply made the principles could rega in their hearts. It is lamentable beyond expression that the low and vicious among my people and the equally degraded among yours should be permitted to embitter the best of yours in mortal array against each other. You have put the solution of this wicked question—the race problem—in one sentence, with the race, but put character above color and principles above pigment cells.

I am faithfully your friend. LILLIE Brooklyn, N. X. Jan. 29, 1995. --- The Age's Symposium From the Independent THE NEW YORK AUOR, the leading Negro paper of this city, if not of the country, has a symposium of some twenty leading colored men on the question whether they would have Southern representation reduced; and only one man among them would have been able to answer. The matter could not be put better than by R. L. Smith, the leading business man of the race in Texas. He says: Questionable. Congress held by D. R. McCormick normally Republicans are instances of unrepresentation. To remedy this wrong Senator Platt and others would give us non-representation. Of the two evilia, give us the --- February: "Southern Workman." In the February number of the "Southern Workman," published by the Hampton Institute Press, is an illustrated article giving much interesting information about the trucking industry in Eastern Virginia. Another illustrated article tells of the strange customs and ceremonies of the trucking industry in the state, in which it is holding its own against the encroachments of the white men. Dr. Frederick W. Atkinson contributes an article on the history of the trucking industry in the Philippines. Other papers are "Tuan Shih Kai" by Dr. Arthur Judson Brown, "The Old Baker Farm," a rule of reconstruction days in Virginia, and "The Use of Thoughtful officials and good reviews to complete the number."

The South Street Church has commenced its law BALLOT RIGHTS AND SOUTHERN DEVILTRY The proposition that "the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a republican form of government" is unquestionable, and this proposition necessitates a guarantee that citizens of the United States shall have participation in the several States, shall have participation in the republican form of government guaranteed to every State, to the citizens of the United States in every State, the Constitution, furthermore, declares "that the citizens of the United States shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of the citizens in the several States," and it is unmistakable in its language when it clearly declares that "no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States." That several States of the South have enacted and defend laws which have the privilege of citizens of the United States, the privilege of citizens of "in a republican form of government," cannot be refused. That there are suffrage conditions imposed in certain South States, the "the citizens of each State" declaration that titled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States" is evident and capable of proof. There are disfriuges and forms of strategy in laws of certain Southern States, who were their residents of other States of the Union, would be it. It is the plain duty of the Federal Government to protect each and every citizen in his sovereignty right of nationality, when encroached upon by despotic authorities. The State authorities fail of protection. The federal Government is without authority of laws to proceed in the premises, then the Congress should enact laws which will prevent the enforcement of procedures in enforcing the course, those who have usurped con- the locus of government of State and have the power of apprehension of the entire machinery of government in command, will continue to insist that this question be left to the State, "which will make our own interior problems. Election outcomes, the State of the South, together with the subsequent, Constitutional and legislative devices created and adopted for minister and parliament design problems to the Nation that are really without "a republican form of government." If left to the same powers of State, from which this intolerable condition sprang, then this but encourages us to upon its republican form of government." The question of ballot rights in the South is not to be confounded with any problem or race issue. This question of minority status is the question of do with any issue, either real or imaginary, to as "social equality." Prior to the liberation of the clandestine slave market, the clandestine slave market south were told by the slave holding Democracy that the freedom of the Negro would immediately result in efforts at the abolition of the blacks and the whites of the South. Then the white masses were appealed to upon lines of "the democratic race issue" to the white masses and now the same "social equality" race issue plea is raised that the oligarchy may exploit its constitutional forms of State government upon the people of the south.

The Pre-Lenten Recital and A-ample which will take place at Palm Garden, 50th street and Lexington avenue, on Feb. 22 promises to be the most brilliant affair of the season. The artists who are to appear on this occasion fully assure an excellent program which it would be difficult to duplicate. The same amount of care and discretion has been exerted in arranging for the assembly, which immediately follows the recital. That Mr. Craig's orchestra of 18 musicians will render the dance music is a guarantee of perfect air. Mr. Craig's Woods and Mr. W. H. Yasuage will have full charge of the floor during the assembly and the recital, and the orchestra will be under Mr. Craig's personal direction. Mr. Craig's performance is an indication of a large and representative audience. Parties to attend are being formed in many of the adjacent cities. The private boxes will be occupied by the following ladies and gentlemen: Money can be sent by Mail in a Postal Money Order, by Bank Draft, or an Expense Money Order, and when some of these can be pro- duced, the money can be sent to the Post- Office as your Post Office, payable to POTTERY & PETTERSON, at the New York Post Office.

It is not too late to begin. How often you have said, when in company, "If I could only play I wouldn't have to be asked but once." Here is your chance; this book will teach you to play. Most of our singers are sadly in need of a musical education. You cannot be a fine singer without being a musician. If you cannot afford to take music lessons this book will help you. It is written with that end in view. This book differs widely from other books of the same or a similar title. Instead of beginning with several pages of description, giving in a hump the whole poem the reader at the piano, tells just the one for P. and so on. The ending will be interesting. By very easy notation becomes easy; there are difficult also notations the study interesting from the almost time it takes to learn to play with A RECEPTION WILL BE TENDERED Hon. JAMES H.
