Mr. Crumpacker, of Indiana, was never heard of much outside of his own State, if inside of it, before he came identified with and sponsor for the movement to reduce South era representation in Congress and in the electoral college. That brought him notoriety, if not fame. He, no ' doubt, thought when he sprang this scheme that it would meet with a warm response from the leaders and organs of his party, and that he would be hailed as a bold and successful leader who had the sagacity and courage to blaze out a way to give the Republican party a prolonged lease of power, a sagacity and courage that older and more distinguished leaders lacked, but he was mistaken in this, for his effort met with opposition among his Re publican colleagues who forced him to a compromise very different from his original scheme, with a very cool reception from some of the party or gans, and from vigorous protests by independent papers which voice the sentiments of that class of citizens who do not borrow their opinions from party leaders. The New York Times is an inde pendent paper with Democratic leanings. The Chicago Record Herald la an independent paper with Republican leanings, and both are very free in their criticism of the Crumpacker scheme. We quote an editorial from each as illustrating the view that is taken of the Crum packer invention -by the non-parti san voters of the North. The Times says: i i - - i "It may throw an interesting and instructive side light upon the discus sion of the question raised by the resolution of Representative Crum packer, oi xnaiana, calling ior an in vestigation of the suffrage laws of the several 8tates 'and allied questions,' if it known that a majority of the best citizens of the South, men of the class who composed the conventions for - constitutional revision, would much prefer to see the representation of the South in Congress cat da era to the basis of their enfranchised citizeship than to return the negro to politics and again surrender to him the con trol of State and local affairs. - "That the suggestion of reduced representation hi the House should come from them, is of course, incon ceivable: thai they would williosrly ac cept it is equally so. The advantages or a representation disproportionate to enfranchised . population are too great to be lightly surrendered, and the con viction that the Republican party man agers would let the subject alone had weight in encouraging the Constitu tion-revisers to sail as close to the dan ger line of open nullification of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Fed eral Constitution as was demanded for the attainment of the end in view . the disfranchisement of the negro and his exclusion from any part in local, State, or -National Government, ex cept as he may be represented by per sons whom he had no part in electing, and who are in no sense responsible to him for what they say or do. That they have 'taken the chances' delib eiately, and with a preference for a reduced representation rather than of competition between the whites j and the negroes for the choice of Repre sentatives, is well known. "The danger of the present situa tion is that the exclusion of the negro from the rights of citizenship will be permanent if the States which have excluded him as a measure of self-protection discover no political advantage from his restoration to the enfranchis ed condition when he shall have quali fied for it by attaining the standards prescribed by the revised State Con stitutions. Granting that the mass of the Southern negroes are presently un fit to be electors, they should have a chance to become fit, and the 8tates which have disfranchised them for the protection of their' material interests should have a substantial reason I for recoga Hog such fitness when it is es tablished. In his statement, printed ia our issue of yesterday, Mr. Crum packer sums up the discussion tersely and forcibly as follows: 'The philosophy of the Fourteenth amendment is to make it an object upon the part of the white man ot the South to educate the colored man and admit him to the right of suffrage as fast as he i pre pared for it- This is the whole ques tion and it seems so just and so right eous that it ought to have the support of every citizen in the country.' It is safe to say that if an increased repre sentation in Congress was the result of a restoration of the negro to the en joymeat of fights of which it is deem ed advantageous to temporarily; de prive him. the race question would solve itself very much more quickly and satisfactorily than it is likely to do under existing conditions." The Record-Herald characterizes it as folly or something worse, thus: "ThCrumpacker resolution f or an investigation Of the condition of the suffrage throughout the Union is neither a brilliant nor a wise eoncep tioa. If it could be considered entirely aside from its partisan bearing it might still be said that it was hardly . necessary as a condition precedent to oDiaining we miormation that is de sired. The State laws are not a mys tery, neither are the election' methods of the 8tates. A compilation from the various statutes and from Congres- luuai rapuna uu contested elections would be a ldminous as any new Con gressional inquiry. "But the question will be regarded from the partisan standpoint alone, and, considered from this standpoint, the investigation would be worse than useless for those who propose it. The Republicans should understand that there is no capital to be made now out of the promotion of sectional strife. When they suggest what is, in effect, a campaign against the South they are opposing a resistless evolution of pub lic sentiment that has been going on for the last twenty years. Their own PftT.. has recognized the trend and substituted conciliation for aggression. President McKinley used to say that bbest political work was the work he da toward bringing North and South together. f - theme, 'No North, No South,1 b7meiBO?opulr everywhere that it is simply fatuous to endearor to. revive the old hostilities. Mr , Crumpacker would, produce a solid South without securing the backing of the North and it u quite natural that Gorman, Bryan and Hill should pre jgjtoMhe fray with alacrity and sat Both of these are correct state- ments from the standpoint! from which they are written. The latter is a protest and a warning, which comes with much force from a paper which speaks for the independent element of the Republican party, an element which sympathized with and commended the late President McKinley's patriotic efforts to ob literate sectional lines, who went further in that direction than any President who had preceded him since the war between the States. The Times speaks more from a general than a political" standpoint and in as far as it speaks for the white people of the South it states their position and resolve correct ly. If it came to be question be tween unlimited negro suffrage and reduced representation the white people of the South, however much they might dislike the alternative, would accept the certainty of white rule and surrender the representa tion based on negro votes. Of course they will fight against that as long as there is hope, and if beaten they will accept the result with resignation if not with cheer fulness, and feel some gratifi cation in the fact that the negro question has been practically solved and that the Republicans in Con gress helped to do the solving. The problem will be solved not only as to the illiterate negro voter, eliminated by the qualified suffrage laws against which Mr. Crumpacker and his supporters complain, but as to all negroes, for when the repre sentation is cut down and the white people of the South realize how lit tle they have lost by that in com parison with continued agitation of the negro question, they will sim ply make the suffrage laws so stria gent and comprehensive that very few negroes will vote even if we do lose some more representatives by that. The negro will be so effectu ally eliminated that he will cease to be a debatable factor, will pass from the stage as a subject of political agitation, and thus, politically at least, the negro problem will be solved, thanks to statesman Cram packer, who in his efforts to cripple the South politically will find that he has knocked the "wards of the nation" out. GETTING READY TO FULL OUT. The authorities in Washington have at last decided upon the time to-withdraw our soldiers from Cuba and turn the government of the island over to the Cubans. Tho 20th of May is the day when the Cuban machine will be started, which hap pens to be Mecklenburg Declaration day, too, so that we might, as it were, make a sort of joint indepen dence celebration, if the Cubans finally succeed in persuading1 them selves that they are "independent," which they will hardly be able to do considering the strong string this Government has tied to that inde pendence. This is called evacuating the island although it is deemed pru dent to leave about 800 men there to look after the garrisons and be prepared for sudden emergencies, in the event of which it wouldn't take long to run as large a force as might be deemed necessary over from this country. Whether President-elect Estrada Pal ma apprehends any trouble when he goes to assume the duties of his office, we do not know, but it is somewhat remarkable that he con tinues to, tarry in this country, where, it is said, he will remain un til about the first of May, when it would seem that he ought to be in Cuba, among his own people, and personally familiarizing himself with the present condition of affairs in the island, and with the senti ments and opinions of his opponents as well as of his friends. We saw an interview recently with a prominent Cuban, whc was then in this country, in which he stated that if Palma went to Cuba there would be civil strife and fighting as soon as he landed, and that the island would be torn up by dissension. Whether there bedny ground for this or not, there are bitter factions among the Cubans, in which the race question figures more or less, which is one of the reasons why some of the Cubans are not over joyful at the coming de parture of the American troops, whom they regard as peace and law and order preservers. The apparent reluctance of Palma to return to Cuba seems to give color to the ap: prehensions of trouble, but the pres ence of even eight hundred United States troops may have a restraining influence on the turbulent spirits. Some successf ul experiments have recently been made in Michigan in telephoning from one moving rail road train to another.

TBS POLL TAX AQAIS In the Star of Tuesday we pub lished an editorial based on the the communication of an "eminent lawyer" which appeared in the Char lotte Observer of Sunday, in which he contended that the election law passed by the last Legislature re quiring poll tax to be paid by the 1st of May, was null and void be cause in conflict with the suffrage amendment to the constitution, which does not go into effect nntil J uly of this year. The writer of the communication was vouched for by the editor of the Observer as "one of the most eminent members of the bar of North Carolina, the peer of any lawyer in the State." As we remarked in calling atten tion to this communication there is a difference of opinion among law yers on this question, good lawyers taking diametrically opposite views. The Washington correspondent of the Baleigh Post informs us that Senator Simmons, chairman of the State Executive Committee, ad heres to his opinion that the law of the Legislature is binding, in which opinion Senator Pritchard, Republican, concurs. This view is supported by Hon. George Eoun tree, of this qity, who has given the question thorough investigation, and was a member of the Legisla ture that passed the election laws requiring the poll tax to be paid on or before the 1st of May. Here we have both: sides of a de batable question, each supported by respectable authority, leaving the matter still in doubt, to be settled finally by judicial decision if it be come a matter of dispute and the question be raised by any one who may be denied the right to register and vote. In view of this difference ot opinion and the doubt, the safe and wise thing to do, as we remarked Tuesday, will be for the voter who would not take the chances of losing his ballot, is to pay the poll tax and avoid the danger of losing the franchise. The prudent, sensible citizen citizen who values his vote more than he does the small amount of the poll tax will do this. QUARTERLY MEETINGS. Wilmington District Second Bound. Soutbport.
