, WOEKDIQ THE HEGRO. , t
j The probabilities are that the suf
frage question in the South will be
come a subject of discussion at the
next meeting of Congress. The Ohio
Bepublican convention sounded the
keynote in the resolution in which
it condemned the suffrage amend
ments in the South, where they dis
criminate against the negro. Of
course some Ohio Bepublican will
feel bound to bring the matter up
in Congress, because that is what
they are playing for, to make it an
issue in politics and thus, if they
can, to arouse sectional feeling,
with which they hope to divert at
tention from the Trusts, the tariff
and other issues which they would
prefer not to discuss.
If they werfr really concerned
about the negro they might be en
titled to some credit for this, but
they are not, for one of the princi-
pal reasons they now give for their
: opposition to qualified suffrage that
eliminates the ignorant and vicious
element of the negroes . from
politics is that it does in
justice to, the North, where, while
representation is based on popula
tion, it takes so many more voters to
elect a Representative than it does in
the South. There is nothings tnat
but a mere pretext, for, applying
the same rule, they should insist
that representation should be more
equalized also in the Senate, and
that a little State like Rhode Island
or Delaware, or a playing-out bor
ongh like Nevada, should not have
as much J representation as States
with millions of inhabitants. But
this is an admission, with. all their
professed interest in the negro, that
it isn't the negro they are thinking
about but their own representation
in Congress. If they could reduce
representation in proportion to the
number of negroes disfranchised
they would be perfectly willing to
see the last one of them disfran
chised, and let them hoe their own
row politically and otherwise.
The Republican leaders have al
ways looked upon the negro as a
sort of helot in politics, whose busi
ness it was to do his white master's
bidding. There never has been a
Republican Convention held, or a
Republican gathering of any kind in
which the negro was not made to
feel this. In the conventions, no
matter what their standing may be
in the States from Which they come,
they are always kept in the back
ground. Why? Is it prejudice?
But why should Northern Republi
cans who have so often spoken of
the negro as "a man and brother,"
have prejudice against him? And
why after inviting him to come to
their conventions should they dedge
him, refuse to associate with him
and let him find quarters and fel
lowship among the negroes of the
towttf That is both hypocritical
and cowardly, because it is
going back on their professions and
giving the lie in their practice to
their utterances. They recognize
the negro neither as their social or
political equal, for. they refuse to
associate with him even temporarily
in their political - conventions, only
in so far as it may be necessary to
corral them to control their votes,
and they refuse to recognize them
politically after elections by ignoring
them in the distributiom of respect
able offices, giving them none of a
first class and very few in-which the
honors or emoluments are worth
contending for, although the ne
groes hold the balance of power in
several States the loss of which
would defeat the ' Republican party,
in Presidential elections. The ap
pointment of negroes to postofnces
and custom houses in the Sonth', and
to subordinate positions ' abroad or
in Washington is not an equivalent
for the service they render the Re
publican party .in every election.
This shows the hollowness of their
pretended friendship for the negro,
and the fact that . they make . the
representation question a factor in
the discussion shows that they are
thinking more of maintaining Re
publican ascendency in Congress
than they are' about the negro. It was
alleged-when suffrage was conferred
upon the" negroes that one of the
principal reasons why they should
have the ballot was for their protec
tion, that with it they might sup
port the men and party .friendly to
v them, and keep out of power the men
who would i discriminate against or
oppreas4heob . " ,f ; ; .-
If the advancers of this argument
were honest in it 'and - meant . what
they said what answer would they
make when asked to show where the
negro ; has suffered' in any way
by qualified suffrage in any of
the . States where it has been
' adopted? There is qualified suffrage
now in six Southern States, and in
not one of - these ; can it be shown
that the negroes have suffered in
consequence of , this legislation or
where the j do not have as much
protection of the ? laws as they had
before,' or where they have not had
ut1" howiD8 tie struggle - of
th wo6 This destroys
wSBltbattlie tot in their;
Sprotectio?
The.fact is there is less prejudice
against them, since restricted suf
frage than there was before, for that
lessened , the ' friction and made it
possible for the races to get along
more harmoniously. The men who
are trying . to raise this suffrage
racket know all this, but they want
a diverting issue, and they "are play
ing the negro for it.
BAD
FOE EX-TRJSASURER
WORTH.
Major Martin's defalcations have
put ex-Treasurer Worth in a pretty
bad predicament, as will be seen by
the following which we clip from
the Raleigh News and Observer:
"And now it turns out that the surety
company in which Major Martin, the
defaulting Treasury clerk, was bonded
will resist payment of the claim
aeainstit.
"But if the company does the mean
cart in the affair, ex -Treasurer W orth
will do the honest one, and therefor
he deserves the" respect and admira
tion of all srood citizens.
"Something like a month ago the
present State Treasurer made demand
on Mr. Worth for the amount of Mar
tin's shortage. Worth in turn made
demand on the surety company, ex
pressing confidence that it would pay
it- 1
"Now it turns out that the company
will do nothing of the kind, if it can'
help it. Un the perfidious other nana
it will fight the claim on the ground
that the Treasurers books were each
year examined by a legislative com
mittee and pronounced correct, and
bat for that the company would nev
er have re bonded Major Martin year
after year. It will be contended that
each one of these examinations re
leased the company from all obliga
tions on the accounts examined.
"As soon as this position of the com
pany was ascertained Mr. Worth called
a meeting of his bondsmen and sur
rendered to them all his property to
insure them from loss in the event the
surety company should successfully
resist the claim.
l"The bondsmen will, it is under
stood, make good the State's claim and
then seek to recover the money out of
the surety company.
"Mr. Worth's action in the matter
has been commended by all who heard
of it, and it is sincerely hoped by al.
that he will be able to make the surety
company pay a claim which by all
principles of justice and right it ought
to pay.
' "The exact amount of -Martin's
shortage was $16,434.88. Of this
$374.84 was taken under Treasurer
Laey's administration and he will have
to make it good. This leaves $16,060.04
to be made good by ex -Treasurer
Worth. Mr. Worth holds a $5,000
bond in the surety company for each
of the four years Martin was in his
office."
Mr. Worth is meeting with a great
deal of sympathy, which, however,
will not do him much good if he has
to make up this- $16,060.04. But
isn't this ah illustration of the care
ies8nes8 with which official accounts
are examined, when this man's
books were examined annually by a
committee of the Legislature . and
reported all right? It is on the
strength of these reports that the
surety company shifts the responBi
bility and pleads immunity. How
that will be in law we do not know,
but a question arises, if these reports
relieve the surety company of re
sponsibility, couldn't ex-Treasurer
Worth plead exemption on the same
ground?
WHAT THE SHIPS ARE WORTH.
According to official reports the
the ships of the world, not inclnd
ing the navies, are worth $294,000,
000. European nations have about
$227,000,000 invested in ships, leav
ing about $67,000,000 for other na
tions. These figures give some idea
of the subsidy grab that Hon
Mark Hanna & Co. are working for.
They are asking for subsidies
amounting to $190,000,000, a little
over'$100,000,000 less than all the
mercantile vessels in the world are
worth. By the time they had used
up the $190,000,000, if they built
ships with it, they would have
greater merchant marine than any
nation on the earth, and one that
would not be yery far behind the
combined merchant marines of En
rope as they are to-day.
But they do not propose to ex
pend this money in building ships.
It is simply to encourage the build
log of ships. They are under no
obligations to build ships, and may
use the money annually drawn from
the Treasury to pay the expenses of
running the ships they own, or may
build, or buy. Compare the sum
they ask for and the value of all the
ships, now afloat, and from that
you can find some idea of the co
losaal grab they are making. Better
add a few more millions to it and
list them buy up the ships of the
world and have the sea-carrying
business all in our own hands.

A gentleman who has the management
of a business that requires a large num
ber of negroes said to one of his employ
ees recently, "Sam, the colored people
are a wonderful people, are they not?"
It was dinner time, and Sam looked np
from his tin dinner kettle and replied:
"Yes, sah. They can get 'long with less
money and have more loafing time than
any people I know of. They are a heap
better than white folks. They don't have
anything to worry them. You know,
boss, colored people get their eating for
almost nothing, and, if they don't drink
whisky, a little money goes a long way
with them. If a colored man has friends
around town, he enn always get a good
dinner, a regular white man's dinner, for
nothing. White folks don't object to
their cooks giving a colored man his din
ner occasionally, and if he has a few ac
quaintances who cook he gets - on very
well in the eating line. Of coarse some
colored men have to 'keep house, but
that don't always prevent them from
going around and don't make living cost
much, because his old woman, if he has
one, takes in washing or does other
things to help along. And, boss, you
know, colored men get along just as well
single as married or married as single.
"Yes, sah, the colored folks are a won
derful people. Anybody's clothes fits
them. Your clothes will fit me. A color
ed man with your clothes on and with
his shoes blacked looks jnst as well as a
white man with a new $75 suit. He don't
mind wearing any white man's clothes,
never mind what his size is. They will
fit or he will make them do so.
"Then, boss, you know a colored man
can sleep anywhere. He don't want a
bed. He can lie right down here and
sleep. This plapk is good enough for
me. And you know the colored man. if
he is civil and handy, can get lots of
good things from white people for noth
ing. I mean from people down this' way.
I don't know how it is in the north or up
the country. ain't got a thing on me
now that cost me a cent.
"Yes, boss, colored people is the Lord's
people. He takes care of them. If a
colored man don't get along in the world
better than a white man, it is his own
fault. The colored man, sah, is jest what
you say of him, 'a wonderful man.' If
he works a little, be can sleep in the
sunshine and almost wait for the victuals
to come to him." Savannah News.

"See that man ahead of us?" inquired
a prominent Washington physician of a
reporter as they were walking down F
street. "Well, he has got the 'sign.' "
A young man about 30 just ahead was
pointed out by the physician. He appear
ed in average normal health, though slight
in form. As he turned his head his eyes
were deep and sunken and his features
drawn and pinched.
rWatch him," continued the physician,
''and see if you. can detect the sgn,' for
he is. a sufferer from paresis and all pa

No? WpJI. every few minutes you will

fingers of his right hapd as the arm s ex

finger in the same place on the same
cheek always.
"Never will he vary this motion, and he
will repeat this one 500 times a day. He
will always do it when he thinks others
are observing him, and, as we overtake
and pass him, you will notice that he will
at once detect my glance and will repeat
the sign again spasmodically. ..
"Every paretic has a 'sign different

the change in the order of operations

250,000 to 300,000 bales. The South
