HEQSOZS IN THE HORTH.
The New York Commercial in a
recent editorial took ine with the
New Orleans Picayune,, which as
serted that the prejndice in the
North la so strong against negroes
that they cannot find employment
in any of the trades nor eren as com
Won laborers, where! white laborers
are employed. The Commercial
practically admits this, bat it con
tends that it is not because there is
a prejudice which closes such em
ployments against negroes, bnt be
cause they prefer to do something
else, which is easier and more to
their liking. It says:
"Wll, If no negroes in or around
New York are found in the building
trades or in manufacturing, it is pri
marily and chiefly because they pre
fer to be preachers or barbers or law-
yerw or aerranta or cabmen. Nobody
ever hears or tbelr enforced exclusion
from auy occupation,! no matter how
- humble or how high,, if competent to
engage in it. And, beyond doubt,
they go or drift into what suits them
beat. They 'get their liTings' juat as
other people do here regardless of their
'race, color or previous condition.'"
As there are about sixty thou
sand negroes in New York city it
iseems to na that the preacher, law
yer, servant, cabman, callings would
.be rather over crowded and there
is no proof as far as our reading of
the papers goes, that many of the
negroes who have drifted to that
city are competent to be preachers
or lawyers, however it may be as to
servants or cabmen. ,
But isn't it a fact as asserted by
some New York press writers that
the negroes are being dropped as
servants and as cabmen and that
there are not nearly as many now
thus employed as there were years
ago? Some of the hotels which a
few years ago had all colored help
now have all white help, whilo'many
families which a few years ago had
negro coachmen now have white
coichmen, while there are compar
atively few colored barbers. This
' does not sustain the assertion of the
Commercial as to servants, barbers,
. etc., however it may be as to the
preachers and lawyers.
It is probably true that in a city
as populous as New York, where the
servant question is a perplexing one,
a considerable number of negro wo
men find employment as cooks and
house girls, but this does not affect
the statement as to the line drawn
against negroes in the trades or
manufactories. We venture to say
that a tour of New York would not
how a half dozen negroes employed
as brick-layers, carpenters, plum
bers or anything of that kind, or as
many jn the factories, save, per
, haps as teamsters or; doing poorly
paid drudgery work that white men
don't care to do. !
The question, then, is how do
the masses of the negroes in a city
like New York live? Some idea of
what they have to endure may be
gotten from the following, written
by Mary Rankin Cranston on the
condition of the negroes of that
city: ' t
To-day," she aays'a large number
or negroes lite in the section of the
city bounded by 61st and 63d streets
and 10th and 11th avenues. Thelaat
census shows that this t block contains
more people than any other in the
city, having a population of about four
inouaana individual. Without excep
tion, agenta aay that negroea are not
allowed to occupy houses until the
tenements are really unfit for human
habitation. After these quartera have
become ao dilapidated that white ten
ants will no longer live in them, they
are rented to the colored people, inva
riably at a higher rate, although, gen.
rally speaking, negroes are good ten
uis ana uie iar better cae of proper
ty than a certain class of our white
immigrant population. I Absolutely no
convenience except washtuba are to
be found In these tenement!, not even
ranges or bathtubs. For these accom
modations, or rather for the lack or
them, tenanta nmv from nfnn in nnmr.
dollars for three rooms and from fifteen
to twenty dollars for four rooms, ac
cording to location." i
.The great majority of Jfew York'a
sixty thouaand negroea earn small
wages, and the high rents reduce the
family income ao materially that a
large number find it neceasary to take
iv-ruc. xn me win I assembly dis
trict, comprialng what is known as the
Tenderloin.the Federation of Churches
found over alx thouaand negroes.
Nineteen per cent of these live in one
and two room tenements, 87 per cent
In three mnma and At
, - - - w tout, m
four or more rooms. lOne-fourth of
these pay less than ten dollars a
month, two-thirds pay from ten to
"v uoumra ana always from one to
two a month more jthan white tenanta.
il the rooms were of good size with
ventilation this would not be such a
poor showing, but when it is known
that Wjm w . l a ,
uim mur uunarea are inside rooms
and that aix hundred! and fifty-five
"T only one window, the deplorable
condition of these tenements will be
unaeraiooa. t
While it is a fact, which is vir
tually admitted byf the Com
mereial, that they cannot en
ter the industries which pay rea
sonable wages, it is also a fact that
this same prejudice keeps them out
of the more desirable residence
quarters of the city, even the better
class of them, and forces them into
me teas. aeBirable, the most crowd-
uujerjr way .ne most ODjecuon-1
able and into tenements lunlrinir
In construction for comfort and so
destitute of conveniences and sani-
A. . . .
irj provisions that the wonder is
they can liye in them -especially in
warm saason W
fresh air to
breath becomes a necessity for
comfort if not for self-preservation.
This prejudice forces the negroes into
these quarters, corrals them as cattle
are corralled, and gives the owners
of these properties the opportunity
to practice extortion upon them and
force them to pay higher rent than
would be demanded of white tenants
occupying, the same quarters. This
would not be the case in any
city in the South, where, although
there may be objection for good
reasons to having negro neighbors,
there is plenty of room for them
and as good houses as they wish to
liye in and are able to pay for.
There is no discrimination that
practices extortion upon them and
compels them to pay more for a
house than a white renter would
have to pay.
The strange thing In this connec
tion is that a paper of good stand
ing, such as the Commercial is,
should, even by indirection, ques
tion a fact which is so notorious not
only in New York city but through
out the North and the Weat, where
there is really more prejndice against
the negro workman than there is
anywhere in the South, where
thousands of negro mechanics and
there, attendants in outside em
ployments may be seen at work, and
frequently beside white workmen.
BLOCKED THE TRUST SCHEME.
. The Greensboro telegram publish
ed yesterday, states that the move
ment to organize a furniture trust,
which was proposed by the represen
tatives of the Northern and Western
furniture manufacturers gathered
there in meeting, was' defeated by
the refusal of the High Point manu
facturers to go into it,a refusal which,
in Our opinion, shows that the High
Point manufacturers carry level
heads.
The. fnrniture-making business
has grown nowhere else in the Uni
ted States with the same rapidity,
nor reached snch colossal propor
tions in such short time as it has in
the town of High Point, which, al
though a comparatively unknown
railway station ten years ago has
become a .hustling manufacturing
town of over six thousand popula-1
tion, and the second, if not the first
furniture-manufacturing center in
the United States. To have done this
it mnst have had some exception
al advantages. The increase in the
number of factories, and the en
largement of others give proof of
the prosperity of the indus
try, another . proof of which is
given in the establishment of wfurni
ture manufactories in other towns
in the State, which have been
encouraged to thus embark by the
success of the ventures in High
Point.
The movement for the Trust did
not originate with Southern manu
facturers, bnt with Northern manu
facturers, who ,'probably have begun
to realize that they have competi
tion from the South. If thev were
doing well enough they would never 1
have thought of suggesting a Trust
or what in modern Trust phrase
ology is called "a community of in
terest" to the Southern manufac
turers. They would have gone
along as they have been going with
out making any overtures to their
.Southern competitors. They, knew
what they were doing, for they had
everything to gain by such a Trust
and nothing to lose, while the South
ern manufacturers had nothing to
gain but much to lose, which is
doubtless the view the High Point
manufacturers took of it when they
showed their good sense by their re- I
t UBal to be enticed into that Trust
scheme.
A, Chinaman in St. Louis who
had a case against a Chinaman
whom he charged with robbing him,
asked the,court toswear the defend
ant, on a chicken head and some
joss sticks, instead of the Bible, for
the chicken head and the joss sticks
would be more apt to hold him to
the truth. In the California courts
tney nearly always swear Chinese
witnesses in the Chinese form, but
that doesn't prevent them from lying
like pirates.
A Kansas City, Mo., dispatch says
there is a movement on foot to
build within twenty miles ' of that
city the largest cotton mill in the
world. Twenty million dollars are
to be invested, and it will have 500,
000 spindles, 12,-000 looms and will
employ 4,000 operatives. With
500,000 spindles it will be a hum
mer, i
The 16-inch gun, which will soon
be mounted for trial at Sandy Hook,
weighs 260,000 poundi and ia laid to
be the biggest' gun in the world.
It is claimed that it will throw a
2,000 pound projectile twenty-one
miles, but it will take a thousand
pound of powder to do it. Shoot
ing with this gun will cost money.

is well-to-do but has such an attach

xuere is no accounting for the
freaks of a Philadelphia maniac.

I A REMARKABLE SESSION.
The first session of the 57th Con
gress, which closed Tuesday, was- a
remarkable one in several respects,
remarkable for. the enormons sum
of money appropriated,! 927,000,000,
the largest appropriation ever made
at one session, and nearly as large
as the appropriations by both ses
sions when Reed was speaker, which
was regarded as extraordinarily ex
travagant at that time. The Repub
licans made light of it with the
flippant boast that this was a
"billion dollar country." They
will probably now tyast that it is a
two billion dollar country.
But with the new expansion de
parture necessitating a larger army;
with the war of aggression in the
Philippines; with a larger navy to
comport with the "world power"
boast, larger expenditures come in
as a matter of course. And there
I is little probability of any material
reduction while the Republicans are
in power.
It was remarkable, too, for some
of the legislation enacted and for
the successful dodging of some that
should have been enacted. Among
the important and notable legisla
tion that was enacted was the repeal
of the war taxes, the passage of the
oleomargarine bill, the passage of
the Philippine civil government bill
and the passage of the Panama canal
bill. These were all Republican
measures and were passed,af ter very
I long and heated debates on some of
them, by an almost strictly party
vote.
It was remarkable, also, for some
of the schemes that were shelved,
one of which was the ship subsidy
grab; for the strangling of the
Cuban reciprocity bill, and for the
0D8tinacy with which the majority
resisted every movement to tackle
the Trusts or to touch the tariff, for
the revision of which there was such
a general popular demand.
Taken as a whole the majority
made a fine record for the Demo
crats, who will not fail to make good
use oi it when they come to talk to
the people;

Editor Wilmington Star:
' Please allow me apace in your paper
for a few, words on the subject of
Hon. John D.' Bellamy's candidacy
for Congress. There are several gen
tlemen in the field against him. I un
derstand, and they are probably all
good men and I have no intention of
rejecting on them in what I say. I
honeatly believe, however, if we don't
nominate and elect Mr. Bellamy again;
we will make a great mistake. In the
first place his usefulness in Congress
is practically juat beginning. It takes
a man more than one term in Con
gress to become a man of influence
there and to this fact as much as to
anything else is doe the great influ
ence in Congress of many of the
Northern States, They ; don't change
a good man every two or four years
juit because 'somebody else wants
the job and juat to be changing
but they keep him there so
long as ie is useful and carries
out their ideas, and the longer be is
kept in Congress the more influence
he has and the better qualified he is to
make himself useful. Mr. Bellamy
has certainly ahown himself to be in
every wayj qualified for the place he
holds and with the influence that
comes with experience he will sooner
or later become a very valuable man
in Congress. He has hardly had a
fair show yet, and what he has
accomplished 'people should re
member has been done in a Con
gress where a majority of the members
are Bepublcans and the Democrats are
in a minority. : Yet, notwithstanding
all this, he has done much for his dis
trict He is considered to-day one of
the ablest men in the House from this
section, and is looked upon as the
"man with a future." He has never
let an opportunity paas when he could
put in a word for North Carolina and
he has usually gotten , what he has
aakedfor. j ! -
During his first term in Congress he
was badly! handicapped by a contest
case in which O. H. Dockery was con
testing hisaeat, and which waa not
decided by Congress until hia term had
about expired. The causes that led up
to it including the vigorous campaign
made by Mr. Bellamy should never be
forgotten.
Those who read know what he has
accomplished during his stay in Con
gress. l
Mr. Burton, the chairman of the
River and Harbor Improvement Com
mittee, in an interview at Washington
a short time ago, said that Bellamy in
me uouaeana ratchard In the Senate
had done more towards getting an ap
propriation; for the upper Cape Fear
than all the rest of the delegates from
this State combined. Rural mail routes
through all counties of the old district
have beeir established by his influence.
Wilmington has been made a nort of
entry. His speech on the Oroatans
and his efforts in their behalf are well
known. He has helped his district in
numbers of other cases and is always
anxious and tireless in its behalf.
And now why should we try a change?
It is the interest of this whole dis
trict that we should consider when we
go to the Congressional convention,
and not the intereat of any one man or
a wish to compliment any one man.
Is there any other man who, consider
ing his acquaintance with other mem
bers of Congress, his experience and
his knowledge of the inner workings
of Congress would make us a more
useful Congressman! I don't think
there is. To put a new man in at this
time seems to me to be beginning all
over again.! Let's stop experimenting.

TO DEMOCRATS OF
NORTH CAROLINA.
7 , . ! "
Republicans Scheming to Capture
the State and Control the
Legislature!
SIMMONS j ISSUES WARNING.
The Plsn Is ts Stir Up Dissensions Among
the Democrats Then on the Eve of
Election Have the Federal Court
Set Aside .tbt Ameidoent.
Chairman Simmons, of the Demo
cratic State Committee, authorizes the
following statement:
For some time past prominent North
Carolina Republicans in Washington
have been intimating that their party
would control the next North Caroli
na Legislature and that Senator
Pritchard would be returned to the
Senate. Democrats have been unable
to understand the grounds of this hope
in the face a' the fact that that party
lost the State in the August election in
1900 by about sixty, thousand majority,
and sine that time has lost, by the
educational provision of the amend
ment, between seventy and eighty
thousand of its former voters.
Tbe persistency j r with which this
claim was made aroused in my mind a
sarpicion that it was based upon some
secret scheme and led me to an inves
tigation, with the view of ascertaining
wbat.it all meant j As a result of this
investigation, I have discovered a
shrewdly advised and! well developed
conspiracy, j i i
The scheme, briefly stated, is to stir
up and promote disseasions and inde
pandentism and, by raising the cry
that the amendment has eliminated
the .negro and freed the white man, to
bring about during the early stages of
the campaign a 'hopeless division
among Democrats," and then on the
eve of the election have the Federal
Court set aside the amendment - In
this enterprise and in ; organizing the
opposition forces, the conspirators are
to have unlimited money furnished
them by the j National Republican Ex
ecutive Committee, upon the promise
of two, if not three. Republican Con
gressmen from the State and the reten
tion of the present Republican Senator.
In order to ! divide the Democrats,
every local dissatisfaction, every local
quarrel, every fancied complaint and
grievance against the party and the
State administration, every disappoint
ment groving out of the nomination
or defeat of candidates, is to be assid
uously narsed and fanned. The Demo
cratic party is to be: charged with hos
tility t certain interests and with
nominating men to office known to
be prejtdiced against these interests,
aud corservative voters are to be ap
pealed loto resent this alleged assault,
and to east their votes against these
objectianable candidates. It is expect
ed that the opposition to Judge Clark's
nomination will start the bolt and
that oi account of the unusual num
ber of Democratic candidates this
year, defeated candidates all over
the Bute will be found who will be
ready to hazard ther chances by sl
owing the use of their name.
Onthese lines our adversaries nro-
pose to open and . for a time conduct
their caamaign. When the lines of
battb have been drawn and tightened,
whei passion has been stirred to white
heatby the friction of conflict, when
alignments have been made, and when
it isbelieved that the bolters have gone
so iar that passion and, pride will not
permit them to -return to their oid as
acMiations, as the day of election draws
neir at band, the courts will be aaked
to declare the amendment un
cotstitutional . and void. Every
deUil to this end has been
carefully arranged and the fconspira
tors are confident there will be no
hitch or failure or delay in carrying
oit the programme at any point Be
tveen the 1st and 15th of October a
white man, who has been refused reg
istration because he has' failed to pay
his poll tax, will apply to a Republi
cs Federal judge, who has already
been selected, for a mandamus to com
pel tbe registrar to admit him to regis
tration. This judge will hold that it
is vithln the authority of the State to
make the payment of poll tax a condi
tio! precedent to the right to vote, but
he will also hold that the grandfather
cisuse is unconstitutional; and, as the
amendment provides that the whole
shall stana or fall together, every part
of the amendment ia affected by this
infirmity. The attack will be made
upon the poll tax instead of the educa
tional clause, to- avoid going into
court with a negro as complainant.
By reason of the ' shortness of the
time, it will be impossible to get the
case heard on appeal before the elec
tion, and, as . tbe judgment will be
effective until over-ruled on appeal, it
is the expectation of the conspirators
that the electi n will be held under the
law as thus declared. ' If registrars re
fuse to recognize and act upon this de
cision, mandamuses will be used by
the thousands, to be followed, if neces
sary to carry out the conspiracy, by
Federal Court bench warrants
' The negro, who is always ready to
obey the orders of his party leaders, is
to be kept quiet, but secretly organized
and kept in readiness , to rush to the
polls when the time is ripe and the
way is clear. It is the calculation of
the conspirators that with one hun
dred and twenty thousand negro rotes,
added to tbe Republican and dissatis
fied Democratic vote,; they will be able
at least to carry enough counties to
control the Legislature;
The conspirators have thoroughly
discussed in connection' with this
scheme the election law passed by the
last Legislature, and are greatly en
couraged and comforted in their en
terprise by its fairness and the large
representation it gives to the
tion party. They expect, before their
designs upon the amendment are dis
covered, that tbe county boards, regis
trars, judges -of - election, etc, will
have been appointed and organized,
and that they j will have secured on
these boards all the representation
necessary to protect ; their voters and
to carry out their conspiracy.
This is the Republican scheme to
capture the State, and it is the basis of
all the predictions we have heard re
cently of the re-election of the present
Republican Senator. It is not a scheme
merely in contemplation, but one
which has been . discussed, matured
and agreed upon. 1 Iu asserting this, I
speak not from i conjecture, but from
positive and reliable information.
Of course, the success of this scheme
required the utmost secrecy, and for
this reason but few have been taken
into the inner circle. ; -; The lieutenants
have been given to understand that
the party chiefs have a big card up
their sleeves, which it is expected at
the right time I will be played and
sweep the deck. ! But so far the scheme
is a secret to all except the big leaders
The success of this scheme requires
also the prostitution of Uhe judiciary
for purely partisan purposes, but Re

CIVIL GOVERNMENT FOR
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Steps to Be Taken at Usee to Pat the
Act Recently Passed by Congress
loto Operation
si Telegraph to tne Morntae star.
Washington, July 2. Cnairma.,
Cooper, of the House Committee on
Insular Affairs, sys steps will b
taken at once to put the Philippine
government act in operation.
"The 8rst step." said Mr. Cooper,
to-day, "will be the complete tranafer
of authority from the military to tbo
officials, except In the Moro country
where there is some lingering disor
der. The transfer will be accomplish
ed by a proclamation of the President
which it is understood will be issued
on the Fourth of July. Beside
turning over the authority to th
civil officials, the change will pe.
mit a considerable reduction of the
military force in the islands, although
orders already given contemplate k
reduction to 18,000 men. In 1900 we
had 70,000 men in the Philippines. s
that "wo will toon have reduced tbe
force by 53,000 and the transfer of au
thority under the act doubtless will
lead to a further reduction beforu
long.
'The next step will be to lake the
census as provided by the act. Gov
ernor Taft told me this work would b
begun as soon as he reached Manila
His plan is to have the work done as
far as possible by Filipinos, and the
commission will get up their own cen
sus system instead of having it dorm
by the census office although they aro
empowered to get census experts from
here by making application to thv
President. Tbe purpose, however, is,
to make the work thoroughly a local
one, so that it will serve the Filipinos
as an object lesson. The census will
take about a year.
"As to the general effect of the act,
we have just enacted," added Mr
Cooper, "I share the view of Govern
or Taft who says that if this bill be
came a law you would hear no more or
the Philippines than we do of Porto
Rico, and the Philippine problem
would gradually disappear."
A WOMAN MURDERED.
Her Husband Arrested, Suspected of tbe
Crime The Jail Qaarded to Pre
vent Lynching.
By Telegraph to the Morning star.
Richmond, Va., July 2. A special
from Lawrenceville, Va., says:
"The most atrocious crime commit
ted in this county since the cruel
murder of Dr. W. H. Temple, occur
red near the home of A. M. McClary,
of Ghelsonville, Monday morning.
A woman, Harriet Avant, Mr. Mc
Clary's cook, went as usual to work,
and after waiting for some time for
her to return, Mr. McClary sent out t.i
see what had detained her. She was
found unconscious with her skull frac
tured. She died soon afterwards. An
axe, which had done the deadly work,
was found close by. Her husband was
immediately suspected of the crime.
Citizens, white and colored, search
the whole day for the husband but be
could not be found. That night he re
turned home, it is thought to get his
clothing, and he was captured. Yes
terday he was given a preliminary
trial and committed to jail. The crimu
has aroused intense feeling. Last night
the jail was guarded by fifteen or
twenty men, and every precaution is
being taken to prevent a lynching.
