yesterday on the steps of bis home for
having befriended a negro woman with

terday Congressman Dick, of Ohio, In
troduced Into Uip House a bill reading
as follows:
"Whereas, It Is a matter of common
Information and belief that the right of
some male citizens being 21 years of
age, to vote at elections named In said
amendment to the constitution named
aforesaid, except for participation in
the rebellion or other crime, is denied
and abridged in certain States, there
fore. "Resolved, That the matter be refer
red to the committee on election of the
President, Vice President and Repre
sentatives in Congress, whose duty it
shall be and who shall have full and
ample power to investigate and in
quire into the validity of the election
laws of the several States and the man.
ner of their enforcement, and whether
the right to vote at any election for
the choice of electors for President and
Vice President of the United States,
Representatives in Congress or the
members of the Legislature of any
State, is denied to the male inhabi
tants of any States, being 21 years of
age, and a citizen of the United States
except for participation in the rebel
lion or other crime."

As a partisan we would welcome the
drawing of the color line and the in
jection of the negro issue into the next
national campaign. But when parti
sanship rises into patriotism we de
plore it And we should like to call
the attention of our friends the enemy
to what they risk. Let the issue be
fought out in New" York and Illinois,
let us say. And then let a negro commit
such a murder in New York City or
Chicago toward the close of the cam
paign, and the passions of white men
will be excited beyond what is reason
able. It is reported from New York that
the ngro who killed Andrew II. Green
is probably insane. A Southern man
would perhaps use an expression that
has come to us from the Pacific Islands
and say that he bad simply "run
amuck."
The other night od a freight train
there was a drunken white man ott
board,, whose drunken remarks kept
the white passengers smiling most of
th way, There was no harm in him,
though his tongue was loose at both
ends, A yeufli scire, of powerful
build, eim through th train and the
drunken man pfe t him in a mL
idletfe way. Th negro at nee
imagined as insult, plektd up a. stlek
by th sieve, and murder would have
been (lorn the next instant but for the
conductor who. apoke quietly to . the
negro, and he left the car, We all un
dtrstand that childish passion,
But we understand also that the race,
the negro race, whatever exceptions
there may be, is as unfit for the exer
cise of the responsibilities of govern
ment aa children would be. The ex
ercise of the ballot is one of the func
'tiona of self-government. Haytl and
San Domingo, the latter at this very
time, are constantly furnishing ex
amples of the inability of the negro
race to govern itself. In the Southern
States, since there can be no separa
tion of the races in the sphere of gov
ernment, the exercise of the governing
privilege involves not only self-govern-,
ment for each race, but the govern
ment of the other race, too. ' The white
man belongs to the jullng race and the
Anglo-Saxon rules the ruling race
wherever he is found.- The Anglo
Saxon of the Southern States is going
to rule both races in the Southern
States, because there is no alternative.
And we respectfully Invite the Dicks
and the Crumpackers and the Roose
velts, too, to put that in their Con
gressional or Presidential pipes and
smoke it.
Through an oversight the Virginia
Democrats in Buckingham county
elected a negro as overseer of the poor.
His name was printed on the ballot
by mistake. Senator Gorman- will
probably cite this as another instance
of negro domination. Smithfield
Times.
The Times is mistaken. This negro
is one who suffered for righteousness
sake during the reconstruction era,
was really a martyr to his friendship
for the white people, and his white
friends have not forgotten him, that is
all. He has held this office for years
and is most . efficient In it. He will
probably "nold it for life. We all make
some exceptions, sometimes.

THI ALOON AND' POLITICS.
It is Just as will te paint out, tww
that tb fall campaign against th
sateen In over, how naturally and la
what Record with its truf nature, the
saloon has conducted its warfare. It
will be remembered that in Reidaville
the eaioon Board of Aldermen ap
pointed a Registrar who was actually
tin bwhef of a good part of the saloott
property and received ft larfee income
from its rental Gf course he was put
there- to fiiakg a fair gisU-atieti; in

peprp vote for aid, In Salisbury an
election was palled with aa many
illegalities as possible and again there
were many illegally, registered and no
day appointed for challenging the cor
rectness of the list. .
Now this is to be expected of tfie
saloon. The saloon politician is as
unscrupulous in politics as the saloon
keeper is in his business. Nothing else 1
ought to be expected, we simply point
these things out before th smoke of
battle clears away to shew what ft
diabolical influence in government and
in politics the saloon is and must be
from its nature and its associations.

Bright, witty, tuneful and charming
ly original these are the epithets that
best describe "The Mocking Bird", in
which Madeline Besley will appear at
the Academy of Music next Tuesday
night. "The Mocking Bird" has been
adjudged in every city in which it has
been presented, thus far as one of the
most delicious lyric plays heard in
years. .
The production is under the personal
management of Mr. Brady Greer, who
has spared no expense or trouble to
give it the rich and artistic environ
ment it justly deserves.
The scenes are laid in New Orleans
during the latter part of the Eigh
teenth Century, afford splendid oppor
tunities for elaborate scenic effects and
picturesque costumes.
Miss Besley appears as Yvette Millet,
the ward of a rich merchant a crusty
old bachelor who wants to' make her
hi wife. But Yvette loves the Gov
ernor's Secretary and finally with the
entanglements she gets him. In addi
tion to Yvette's love affair there are
several others that afford amusement
and interest. Mies Besley is supported
by Edgar Atchinsqn Ely, and a most
competent company including Roland
Carter, Antlonette Lo Brun, Kittle
Baldwin, Blanche Thayer, Walter
Ware, Arthur Stanford, T. M. Goodwin,
David M. Yostr Charles Church, Sara
Osgood, Llllie Weeden and. a large
chorus of bewitching lovliness.
The dramatic version of Mall Caine's
absorbing story "The Christiatt"'be re
vived here at the Academy on Monday,
Nov, 23, with Katharine Angus as
Glory tjuayle and Chas, BY'Cobtin as
John gtorm, the character of the title,
Few melodramas have achieved the
success ef this one, not even in this
city, but throughout the country as
well, where this nlay was Mill Allen's
ehief success, This production has wen
river, and it is reasonable to suppose
that hie present revival has attract
large attention inasmuch as the eem
pany is so well adapted to the require
ments of the many important roles,
The Mob Scene In the second get is
made a special feature, and the scenery
and effects are the same used in tha
original New York production, as well
as this season at the Academy of
Music in New York. . .
