BERNARD. i WILMINGTON. N. C : Sunday AIoening, Mabch 5, 1899. TO GET EID OF THE COLORED BROTHER. Not withstanding the- talk by Northern Kepobliean politicians and Republican newspapers in the North about tho disfranchisement of ne grpes. in the South there is not pne in a hundred of them who would not be not only willing but glad to see the negroes disfranchised if they thought the Eepublican party would be thereby benefitted. As a rule' the' men who have been participating in national conventions have never taken fraternally to the colored dele gates to those conventions, for they were an embarrassing feature in several ways. They could not mingle with the negroes on terms of equality, and yet it was necessary to treat them with much civility and consideration to retain their good will for the candidates who desired their votes. They had to be enter tained and the color line was always more or less sprung and this always added to the embarrassing complica tions with "the man and the brother." i ' And then there was another thing which was even more troublesome than the matter of fraterniza tion and that was that the colored delegates were- looked upon as pur chasable, and of a kind that wouldn't stay bought when a higher bidder came alonsr. In addition to this be- 0 ing quite annoying it gave rise to scandalous charges from which few Eepublican : national conventions have been exempt. The last didn't escape these charges, for it was Baid with much emphasis that Harma very soon corralled the Southern col ored delegates at St. Louis and cap tured them for McKinley. It would, 't.hfirAfnrn ' fnr tripsin if n fit. fnr ntrinr' reasons, be a relief .to the Republi can politicians if the colored - dele- ' gate could be .eliminated from their national conventions; and the only practical- way to do ihat without their active agency, or their seeming to desire it, will be through the dis franchisement of the negroes in the Southi thus eliminating them as po litical factors. ' It may bo observed that prominent Republicans from the North who have visited the" South lately have had very little to say on that sub ject while some, of 'them, such as Senator Hoar, for instance, hare virtually endorsed the movements, that have been made for qualified suffrage," although they know, full well that this movemear has but little effect in disqualifying white voters and affects almost exclusively the black. ! ' i But this feeling to which we refer is not an entirely a new thing, for eight years ago or more a movement was started in"some of the Southern ; States to eliminate the negro voter r from the Republican party under the belief that if ..this were done a white Republican ; party ; could be organ ized in the South which would have much more vitality in it and be much more - formidable than the Republican party composed of the white and colored contingents ever was. This j idea has not yet been entirely abandoned, although its promoters are going about it in a (different, round about way. They do not propose ?to drive the negro out of the; Republican, party, but they propose favoring nullifying his vote and thus eliminating him as a factor from all parties, and then seeking aspiring Southeraers who i may be tempted by bribes of office and position to ally themselves with the Republican party and become' proselytizers for it. That this is i the programme that some of them ., have seriously considered is 'shown by the following, which we clip from the Charlotte Observer of the 3dinst.: ; "The Observer yesterday mentioned the arrival in the city of Mr. Samuel B. Archer, secret&rv an A tnnimu. tlle Tri? Commission League, New ark, N. J.-and Washington City. In an interviAw saidt yesieraay .Jar. Archer "TK nVWt and rmrnose. of my trip South is to endeavor to unite the busi ness interests, organized and Individ ual, in favor of . bill mow before the Ways and Means Committee of Con gress. .The purpose of the bill is to take tne tarirr question om w r'"""' and place it in the hands of a perma nent committee, or court, organized on the same lines as the United States Supreme Court, giving the committee full authority for arranging schedules under a welPdeflaed law, as repre sented by said bilL . , . "So far, here, I have found the feel ing unanimous in favor of the plans set forth in the bill and many of your men have united with the League to help carry it through Congress. I have already receifed the hearty co operation and support of many of the boards of trade and other commercial organizations throughout the South. "For some time past I have been thoroughly convinced that the inter ests of the North and South are iden tical.' That the same laws that built up New England and made the vast wealth of that territory 'applied equally to the Southern States, if the business men here would take the ' same advantages of them that their Northern brothers have. And in suggesting these ideas to the Southern manufacturers I have found that the sentiment here is almost unanimous. I am convinced that if the color line were obliterated from politics that the South, and especially North Carolina, would be as strongly Republican in politics as many of tne Nothern States, and I firmly believe in our Southern friends uniting with us in the the election of a Republican ticket in 1900 and thus furnishing a Republican administration with plenty of able white men to chose from for filling Federal officers. This would not only be the quickest way of obliterating the-features of the color question, but would in no manner in terfere with your local or State offi cers, who could be elected as here tofore. "The recent visit of President Mc Kinley through the South has shown that he has a warm place in the hearts of Southern people, generally, and it is possibly needless for me to say that General Fitzhugh Lee, by bis actions at Havana during the recent difficulty with Spain, and General Joe Wheeler, through his gallant and valiant work at Santiago have endeared themselves to the hearts of the people of the en tire Union and I believe that the placing of either of those men, or any other good Southern man, on the ticket with McKinley in 1900, would on the platform similar to the one adopted in St. Louis in 1896, with such changes as the recent war and present conditions would suggest, give the Southern people an opportunity to unite with the Northern Republicans to put an impregnable front to Bryanism and the free silver craze. It would completely obliterate all traces of sectionalism and. insure the future prosperity of the South as nothing else would do. I firmly be lieve that the conditions to day brought about by the war with Spain make it a most favorable opportunity for bringing about such a result. Since arriving in the South I have, spoken about this matter to manyrnanuf ao -turers. and politicians as well, and find that they would generally favor such a combination. . "The Atlanta Constitution, a short time ago, asked the very pointed and pertinent question : 'What is the mat ter with a ticket reading McKinley and Wheeler for 1900?' And it is my purpose to go to Atlanta within a few days and suggest to the Constitution and other papers the starting of a canvass of the South, looking to the election of white delegates to the National Republican convention in 1900, pledged to such a ticket as I have suggested above, and if I find them favorable to such a prop osition I will . spend the next three months in doing all that is within my power to help the matter on. Starting such a movement now and getting the newspapers of the South to push it to the front, will naturally bring the question up in the North and very soon show how the Republican papers of the North would support such a movement and would put the matter in good shape to commence a thorough campaign early in the fall. Of course I understand that such a movement will take a great deal of educational work among the people to bring it to a successful issue and the present is none too soon to start it" - Mr. Archer will be here for several days. He has been in the State for two weeks and from here he goes South. r- We do not known Mr. Archer, or how well he shoots his arrows, but he is taking afery business like view I of this milter and is going about it I in a very business like way. Most certainly with the negro eliminated from politics in the South and the tariff question out of politics, two of the main causes "of friction be tween the South and the Repub lican party, would be removed, and as new. issues are apt to arise which may not be affected by geograph ical lines it is possible that the Re publican partvof the future may be regarded, with less aversion in the South than the Republican party of the past has been, for that was run almost exclusively on sectional lines. Mr. Archer reports progress, " and may possibly be exaggerating if he has not been deceived, but it is in teresting to know the plans some of the NorthernRepublicans are mak ing and how they are proceeding to carry them out. GOOD, IF TRUE. We find the following, from its Mount Airy correspondent, in last week's issue of the Baltimore Man ufacturers' Record: A report is current that the Atlantic Coast Line has determined to extend the Atlantic and Yadkin division, for merly the Cape Fear and Yadkin Val ley Railroad, into the Virginia coal fields, connecting with the Norfolk and Western and other lines. John R. Kenly, at Wilmington, N. C, is gen eral manager. . This is good news, if true, and the probabilities are that there are grounds for the report. We do not know exactly how many miles will have to be. constructed to make con nection with the Norfolk and West ern'road, but the distance is short, and our impression is that consider able of the ground had been graded several years ago under the then management of the C. F. A Y. V., which had determined to make that connection. That financial panic which swept the country caught the C. JF. St Y. V. road, as it .did many other railroads, and put a stop to the work of extension, which would doubtless have been effected - some time ago if it had not been for this. There is, we think, a natural pass through the mountains on the - bor der, which makes the work " of con- structural comparatively easy for a mountain country.. : . r . This is : a matters in -, which tha country penetrated by the Atlantic & Yadkin - Valley Railroad is very. much interested, and in which, Wil mington is especially interested, for when this little gap is closed it . will give us. .rail connection with tre Western systems of roads : and pne of the shortest - lines between, the seaboard and the grain fields .and, commercial centers of tho .West, "in addition to tapping the coal fields that lie between-.' - - This means possibly two things for Wilmington, one that she may become a great shipping port for Western products and become to some extent a competitor ; in this withJNewport News, which has been built up by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad after iCaade its Western connections, and it means .that Wil mington may become a great manu facturing city as she "can. then com mand an abundance of cheap fuel. The gentlemen: who are financial ly interested inthis enterprise and are now managing this road have too much sagacity to permit it to run into the ground at Mount Airy, and therefore we take it for granted that they will make -the opening through the hills to link with the system of roads on the other side. But every one who - has given any" thought to the subject,; or is at all familiar with the geographical posi tion and the road systems of the West, Will see at a glance that there are immense. possibilities in this en terprise. THEN LET THEM EE SWAL LOWED A studied effort is being made by the expansion press and .other ex pansion boomers to make it appear that the conditions by which we are now confronted in the Philippines were thrust upon us by the fiat of events, that it is "destiny" that ye must" take up "the -white man's burden" no matter how heavy it may be and lift the black and the nut colored and the yellow man that we come into contact with to the higher plane, in other words that the mis sion of this country is to be a civi- lizer and christianizer of the be nighted heathen. This is simple mockery, and some times borders on blasphemy when they make Providence the inspirer of their rapacious schemes. The Washington Star is one of the sup porters of the expansion policy, and thus remarks upon the situation as it now presents itself in the Philip pines: . "Germany's move at Manila is a very important one Important to her and to us. There may be diplomacy in it of a very shrewd kind. But that is neither here nor there. It is to be considered upon its face Value. It is a recognition of our authority and su premacy in the Philippines, and strictly in accordance with our own claims. The President has done right there fore, in responding favorably to Ger many's overtures. They could not have been rejected, indeed, without such a confession on our part as would have compromised the Government before the world. And we must resolutely face the' situation and take into , account -all reasonable contingencies. German interests in the Philippines may not be large, but whatever they are they are entitled to protection. The United States now accepts responsibility for them. If events shall show that it connot protect them, or if it change its policy in the general matter of the Philippines so as to neglect them, it cannot properly complain if Germany snail decide to step in and try to pro tect them herself. And if Germany shall go ashore for that purpose then" the course will be clear for other powers in interest, and then shall come to pass that which has been' predicted: The Philippines will be swallowed up in a scramble of the European nations. ' "It is worse than folly to undertake to temporize with our problem in the east. The United States either has or it has not a duty to perform there. If it is to stay, even for no other purpose than a restoration of order, it should set about the work with every means necessary to a speedy accomplishnient of that end. No halting, half-hearted measures will serve. If it is to throw up the task as unwelcome, or beyond its strength, it should do so at once and completely. The problem, un less resolutely seized, is full of the greatest danger to the country. "The men who are trying to cripple the Government in the matter of men and supplies, and thus force an igno minious back down at Manila, are en gaged in strange business for Ameri can citizens. It 'is of small . moment whether Mr. Bryan, Mr. Gorman or Mr. Cleveland is a - Presidential candi date next year if meanwhile the pres tige 01 tne united states as a nation is to be sacrificed to local divisions over local matters." Germany ,- has doubtless done a shrewd thing in thus making the United States the custodian of itsf interests in the ; Philippines and therefore responsible for any damage' thatTnay come to them. And per--haps under the circumstances this was the best thing for this Govern ment to do, for not to have done so might have been a confession of weakness, but GermanyEaving done this other, nations having interests may do likewise, and ; we will find ourselves the custodians of all "of them, not for the present only but for an indefinite period, until the Filipinos .are snbjugated and we have the . islands absolutely under. our control. And then what will it all amount to, the self -assumed task of civilization and elevation ? Better' let them ,cbe swallowed" by other land-grabbing nations, after we have made sure of a base "of supplies to to put ourselves on equal footing with other land-grabbers. But bet-; ter still let those people understand that we don't want their islands, re cover their confidence if we jan, help them to" form a government, then throw, the responsibility of tak ing care of themselves upon them,' and let them ' "paddle their own canoe.' -f WANOEBEBS.

This dainty costume, taken from Haeper's Bazar, is designed to be ren dered in such light-weight fabrics as cashmere, Henrietta cloth, nun's veiling, or any Summer material. The original model is in Violet -cashmere. The bodice pattern contains two yokes, the upper one supporting the collar, and the lower being the foundation upon which to place the guipure. The waist is a simple French design, u e., with slightly gathered front and back, but with no pouch or suggestion of blouse. It is open on both sideSr-whfre the lace is re vealed between the interlapping points. The fashionable, sleeve has a long sheath which serves as a foundation for the guipure. .1 - The skirt is cut to fit perfectly' over a model skirt but is slashed up each side of the front and fastened with lapped points to correspond with the open ings in the waist A pattern of the underJace flounce does not accompany the costume pattern, published by Harper's Bazar, since this must be adjusted according to .the taste of the wearer Where a less costly material than guipure is desired, the lower yoke may be made of any of the many fashionable tucked and ruffled materials-which may now be purchased by the yard, ; and mousse line or chiffon panels may be laid under the slashed openings at the sides, of the skirt It is of the latter material in the original Fans model, ! - To make this garment for a medium-sized person will require 7i yards of material 45 inches wide, and 15 yards of silk lining 20 inches wide.
