Who For (he Ten Year: Ha Lived In (lie Month. Washington Post. ; Editor Post: Keatliug an editorial in the Philadelphia Press of the 11th instant, I concluded to do something I have been contemplat ing for some time,and do it at ence that is, write an article on the situa tion iu the. Caroliuas from the stand point of a northern man, and one who has for the past ten years has been a resident of the Carolinas, and is thoroughly acquainted with prom inent people of both political par ties, and also thoroughly acquainted with the stafusof the negro in poli tics. I was born a Republican, be ing introduced in the world in Mas? sachusetts in the first year of the Republican L party's existence. I was a strong Eepublican as a boy, and reached a Republican manhood in the State of Kausas, which at that time 1875 was almost unani mously Republican state. I was for mauy years publishei aud editor of Republican papers, and would as soon have thought of selling my birthright as of deserting the Re publican party. This state of miud continued until ten years ago. I traveled through the Atlantic coast states and saw the condition of things politically. Soon after that time in 1889 1 settled at Florence, S. C, a - section of the State where the races were evenly divided, though the white man rul ed. I saw then, and I still see no way in which self-respecting, edu cated, or intelligent white men can vote with the Republican party in the south, in local affairs. The few white leaders among the Republicans in the "Black Districts" are leaders simply for office, with no higher aim; no higher aspirations than the money they can make; the notoriety they can attain, aud the petty power they can exercise. For some weeks prior to the re cent election I was in the several counties of eastern North Carolina, aud I can honestly say, in my opin ion, that any man coming from the North or elsewhere, who could see what I saw, aud keep his Republican proclivities in local politics, is either a fool or knave. There are many good men who are Republicans iu the western portion of the Carolinas, but they have not been thrown into con tact with the results as have those oi the eastern portion of the State. This year, however, the condition had become so rotteu that the stench from the eastern-counties was waft ed like a great miasmatic cloud over ihe western counties, rising from the borders of the ocetn aud ascend ing even to the clouds which cap the Blue Ridge, aud a response came which swept the State of much of its disease. The people of the east ern couuties did not desire trouble. They had nothing against the negro; they give him em ploy mew t; they feed hini, they educate him, paying 95 per cent, of the taxes; the whites build school houses and tax them selves to help him. What, then, is the cause of the great feeling of the of the recent election? The ne gro, iu politics, is not a unit indi vidually, but a unit collectively. The negro does not vote for principle or upon party issues, unless you call his principle the talismanic word republican. For this word he would sell his best frieud aud benefactor: for this word he would place in office a drunken sot or knave; for this word he will turn over to rotteu offi cials the power to destroy the prop erty of his employer and make it practically valueless. The negro knows no such word .as gratitude when he is voting some will say that it is an act of gratitude that he votes the Republican ticket, but it is not so. It is because he is petted, patted, aud cajoled by office-seekers, who are really his worst enemies. There is another reason he has had a taste of office holding. Ne- grufS who "-. could jiotread or write have held eeats.iii the Legislature of both jNorth ana boutn tJarolina in the past; they hold offices now for which they haveuo fitness, mentally or morally. Hundreds of them hold positions as magistrates in the east ern counties of North Carolina. The negro has not, nor ever will have, a judicial mind; it is not given him by natureit is one great fault of his physical make up, and why should he, because he is black, be put in a position for which nature never in tended him? There has been too much talk through the press of all the faults of the negro of his faults .against the white race, due to his seuiual nature; of the danger from him to be feared by respectable peo ple, etc., etc. I did not begin this letter to discuss these questions, but I will simply pause to say that the negro of to-day is not the negro of thirty years ago. The old-time ne gro is honored and respected by his old time masters, and need never Buffer if they have bread, but the "new negro," the boy and the youth who have grown up in the streets of the rapidly growing southern towns, are to be watched aud suppressed. It is the only hope of security, the only hope of civilization. Give the ordi dary negro an "inch and he will take an ell." He has been so cajol ed that he honestly thinks, at least many of them do, that thev are su perior to the white race. They have gotten in North Carolina so they can dictate to the Republican bosses, , and that is the reasons they have been given nearly all the local offices iu the eastern part of the State, not because the leaders -desired it, but because they were compelled to give it. Tbe tool was rising up against the artisan, and with power to crush him. - The Press speaks of honest "elec tion laws." The election laws of North Carolina have been bo ar ranged that with the machinery in their own hands, the Republican of ficers could illegally register enough votes to carry the State, and this without the power of the white man to challenge. By the present law all names must be challenged before the day of election, on spe cific days sot apart for this purpose. The voter not being present, how can any one kuow from a name whether he is entitled to a vote or not? There is no challenge allowed on election day. Thousands of negroes had been illegally registered, and this is why the white men not alone white democrats gave it out, as they did give it out, they would challeuge this illegal vote with a rifle or shotgun on the day of election. The feeling in the eastern part of the State, as I learned from a thor ough study of it just before the election, was uot against the negro as a negro. The most intense feel ing was against the white "fusion ist,'' and the white Republican who had organized the negroes for the sole purpose of forwarding his own political ends. The fight was real ly against the debauched office bold er and his minions. The negro was a secondary consideration. If he came between the upper and the nether millstone he would be crush ed; but aside from that he would be perfectly safe. There was a settled determination that the abominable conditions existing should come to an end, and they did, to a great ex tent. The day of negro domination of the eastern part of North Caro lina has cotne to an end;- the day of negro domination in other sections of the State has come to an end; the day of the negro as a political weight to elevate unfit persons to office in the south has come to an end. With the negro vote entirely eliminated, the south could be split by the Re publican party on legitimate issues. So long as republicanism means ue groisui in the south, so long will the Anglo-Saxon race vote as a unit for men who are white and represent white men. The Press says there was no ne gro domination. Perhaps not; but where, as in New Hanover county, where Wilmington is located, as well other couuties, out of forty magis trates thirty .-six were negroes where the deputy sheriffs, coroners, police men, and all similar executive aud judicial officers were negroes, while the whites paid 9o per cent, of the bills if that is not negro domina tion I do not know what it means. I wish to repeat that the whites have nothing against the negro a3 a negro. The whites of the south will do more for the uegro than will the whites of the north. Any inferior race attempting to usurp the reins of power, and dominate and domi neer over the Anglo-Saxon, has made a mistake. The negro has made this mistake, but he has made it not of his own volition, but at the suggestion of white men, who have used him to qarry their own ends, but the dam, once broken, the originators of the break caunot coutrol the stream. The sooner the Republican party recognizes the fact that ignorance aud color cannot rule and ruin- the education and the Anglo-Saxon of the south, then aud only then can it hope to break the "Solid South," for northern men, northern republi cans coming down"here to live, only make it that much more solid; that much more harder to break. I am not now a resident of either of the Caroliua3, but I wanted to say this much, in justification of the firm and determined staud the people of JNorth Carolina have takeu. Thev respect the negro who respects himself; ihey will aid and feed him; they will care lor Mm wheQ sick and educate him; they will do much for him; but let him put by his vote, incompetence and dishonesty in ottice, they will not, nor should they.

Despite the best offorts of its organizerst the meeting of colored people at Cooper Onion last night ti denounce the action of the mobs in Wilmington. N. evinced a spirit of revenge. Some of the speakers were moderate in their remarks and wise in counsel. But there were others, and these were the ones who roused the most enthusiasm, who spoke of a day to come, sooner or later, wheu the blacks should revenge themselves for all the persecu tions they have undergone, and the speech of one of the orators was along the very lines which resulted in the Wil mington riots. An amendment to the resolutions advocating retaliatory " meas ures was handed up, but was smothered The meeting was called to order by T. Thomas Fortune, who introduced as Chairman F.benezer D. Barrett, ex Minister to Hayti. Mr. Barrett said: "This meeting is called in the interest of civilization and good citizenship. We are called together to warn our fellow citizens that violence and disregard of law will sooner or later lead to retroac tion. I do not understand ihat it is the object of this meeting to indulge in in temperate language or express any senti ments not in accord with good judgement and calm feeling, but to protest against violence and mob rule in the South with dignity and with what force we may." The Rev. W. D. Cooper then made a prayer and lettei s ot sympathy and re gret were read from William Hayes Ward, Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, John W. Thompson, 1 K. Funk, President Ed ward W. Grout of .the borough of Brook lyn, Commissioner J. J. Scannell and B. B. OJell, Chairman of the Republican State Committee. Tbe Chairman then introduced Mr. Fortune, who said: "We do nit come here with dynamite or Winchesters, but to appeal against the mobocracy of white men in the South; to appeal to the better feeling of this great country; to appeal from the white Caesar drunk to the white Caesor sober; as Amer ican citizens, to demand our rights under the flag. Shall we have them?" "Yes! yes!" shouted the crowd, eagerly. "And how shall we have them?" pur sued the speaker, leaning earnestly for ward. It was the spark to the train. The an awer came thunderously from all parts of the hall." "Fight for them! Fight! Fight!" "No, no," cried a few of the cooler heads on the stagi. "Order! order!"" We came here for law and order," Mr. Fortune reminded the audience. We didn't come here to arouse the pas sionsof revenge and fighting." There was some applause, and cries of 'That's right," but they were drowned by the voice of a big negro in the rear aisle, who shouted at the top of his voice: "No, no! Kill 'em. Give 'em what they gave usl" "Put him out!" "Order!" "He's all right." "Let him talk. "Run him out." There were hisses and applause inter mingled, but in an iustant Mr. Fortune had the meeting under control again. I can't blame any man," said he, "for feeling s me resentment; but he's a fool who butts his head against a stone wall. Applause.J Let the while men of the South proclaim themselyes the lawless element. Let us have patience. We are peaceable, religious, and law abiding race. Let us continue so. 1 here are to day thousauds of White men and women n the Southern States who are opposed to the ruffianism of the persecutors of our people. We want that-element with us. "We want all the law-abidfnsr and law- loving element of our nation. That's the path to victory, and you know it. fAp- plause. That will win in the end." The Chairman then introduced Law- son N. Fuller, who kert the audience amused for ten minutes, and touched on the question under discussion by express ing his opinion that the situation was most regre .able, aud that Southern ladies are too easily insulted, anyway. A man said to me the other day: 'What would you do if you had charge of affairs in North Carolina?' Said I: "What would I do? I'd send for Dewey!" This pleased the people immensely, and they gave three cheers for the State ot Vermont which, as Mr. Fuller remarked, produced him as well as Admiral Dewey. Joseph D. Peaker, President of the State Summer League of Connecticut, made a brief address, calling for the best thought of the country on what he declared to be the most important question of the day mob rule in the South and demanding a union of tbe colored race The Chair man then introduced George W. Brown, a negro who escaped from North Caio- lina only to meet violence over the bor der, aud who finally made his way here. Mr. Brown didn't make any speech, hav; ing nothing to say, according to his statement, and Dr. J. N. Scott, a minister from North Carolina, was introduced. Dr. Scott made a speech which would not, to the average Northern man, bear any great significance should he read a verbatim report of it But with the emphasis which he gave it, and the com mentary of the audience, it was full of meaning the most unmistakable. Near the Sun reporter sat a Southern-bred man. Bufore the speech was over he was pale to the lips, and as he went out he stopped and said to the reporter: "You can put this down: That if he'd made those insinnatio s In the South he wuld never have lived to finish his speech." At the outset f his speech Dr. Swtt said that in Wilmington white ministers were going about carrying puns and abett'ng the lawlessness, and asking that the pulpits and Christian people here should denounce such "exponents of the okrapeL" He also said that the reason for the persecivton of negroes in the South was that the negroes are getting all the land away from the whites. But this is the part of his speech that roused the audience to the keenest evidences of delight that it had shown during the evening: "Nowadays we hear of a great many lynchings of colored men. It takes very little cause now t lynch a colored man. Well, It didn't used to be so. Down in my part of the South I know how it a.ed to be. The-youn olorel bo7S t!ie nicest of the.n usei to put young 'mis- tiss' in the biggy in the morning ana drive her to 8 :hol and lift herxout and leave her there; then he'd come after her and lift her back in again a ad take her home. Was anybody lynched then?" There, were loud laughter and shouts of "No! No lynching then!" "That boy would take young mistiss all around, and he never got lynched for it. Laughter and applause. Why, he'd even have to go into young mistias's room in the morning to pick it up and put it in ordei." Here the speaker's remarks were inter rupted by a perfect storm of laughter and applause. One might have supposed that a witticism of most stupendous merit had been uttered. Women rose up and rocked back aud forth in their paroxysms of glee. Men clapped each other on the back and shouted in stento rian merriment. Wave after wave f ap plause kept the speaker waiting, and when be finally got a chance to go on he spoke of the pride the Southerners used to feel in a fine mulatto boy or girl. If it weren't for the increasing commercial prosperity of the black in the South, he said, they would be in as high favor as before the war. He concluded by saying that the New York negro with a gold headed cane, a silk hat and an unpaid board bill wasn't as good a citizen as his Southern brother who saves his meney and wears old clothes. When, at the end of his speech, he mentioned. Presi dent McKinley's name, there were cheers. , Almost as much applause as was given to the foregoing speaker was roused by his succesror, the Rev. W. H. Brooks, who said: "Don't go out with your shotguns to shoot d iwn your op posers. Don't do it. Not ready yet! White man has the rail road, the telegraph all the facilities. Other races have looked in the eye of ihe white man and have perished. Tne c-l ored man looks the white man in the eye and liyes. Cheers. Let us keep cool Keep a grip on yourself and your leeth tight closed. Win peacefully if you can, but if not woll, If there 'soothing else to do, if you've got to die, don't die by your self!" Cheers and yells. Mrs. K. B. Grannis of Social . Purity League fame followed, and treated a cer tain subject in such manner of speech that few of her remarks are printable without such modification as would alter their meaning. DEPORTATION OF NEGROES MOOTED. That Will B the Position of Northern States Soon Bent on Social Equality Floors of Their Aggressiveness )u This Respect Prophelie Utterances ofSenalor Caflery as to What Will Happen IVhen (he Ne groes invade t:ie sorui nare Large ly. Raleigh Post. Washington, D. C, Nov. 18. Sen ator Caflery to-night, commenting on ihe race troubles in North and South Carolina, said to a representative of the Post, that he considered the solution of the negro question one of the most vital to the interests of this Republic. In the South, he said, the negro is con trolled either by law or fraud, and it would not be more than two decades 6e fore the herculean task ot deporting him to some other country would confront the aw-makers. In controlling him by fraud the white people of the South "had neces sarily weakened their ideas of a republi can form of government. And if it were necessary to the establishment of a mon archy to control the negro and to insure white supremacy, and the alternative was presented of negro domination or inon archial rule, theu the white people would choose the latter. SOCIAL EQUALITY. "I have been reared and still live," he said, "among negroes. They haye in creased from six millions before the war to twelve millions now. and in tw- de cades they will have increased to twenty million souls. "They are aggressive, and their sole and constant desire is social equality with the whites. This the white man will not, and ought not, to permit. We have had sam- Dles of their aggressiveness within the the last few weeks. Owing to their hab its, it costs them less to live than it does the white man, as their wants are fewer They have underbid the miner in Illi nois, and caused a riot resulting in the loss of a number of lives; their domina tion in Wilmington, N. C, has resulted in a riot, the result of which is fresh in the public memory. The action of the negro immune regiments in Alabama and in Cuba alike demostrate their aggress iveness without demonstrating any intel ligence. All of which shows, to my mind. that they cannot become a part and par eel of .our homogenous people. As they increase and multiply they will invade the North, and then it will be that the demand for their deportation will be made." METHODISTS TO GIVE 20,- ooo.ooo. The Thank Offering the BUh- ops I'ropose uecanse oi tne Wealth of Their People. New York Sun. The Bishops of the Methodist Episco pal Church have united in a formal ad dress to members and friends of their Church i America in which they point out the extent of divine fa vor to Methodists in a financial sense and outline the purposes to which the proposed" twentieth century thank offering of $20,000 poo is to be put They say they take this action at this time because no sufficiently early action is now pnesible by the General Confer ence, which does not meet again until 1900. They recommend that the $ 20,000,000 shall be in addition to the regular contri butions ot Methodists and that it shall be given between the dates of Jan. 1 next and three yjars from that time; also that $ 10,000,000 of the offering be applied to Methodist universities, theological semi naries, colleges and other schools, and $io,oo6,ooo for Methodist hospitals, or phanages, homes for the aged and other charitable institutions of the church. As a reason for making this large thank offering the Bishops say: "L-oa nas maae aieinoaists m many lands to be a people who were no people, and has given us ability to accumulate church property amounting at the pres ent time to nearly $116,000, 000 and prop erty for educational purposes to the amount of over $28,000,000. He who alone giveth power to get wealth hath given to the individual members of the Methodist communion an annual income estimated at 500,000,000 aud grace to give with willing mind and glal heart to His service the sum of $23,000,000 every year, lie is now opening in all the earth wide doors of opportunity and is gra ciously matin e us workers with linn in His largest plans."

Commissioner Evans, ot the Pension Office, notified Secretary Alger to-day, that Jesse T. Gates, of the Second United States Ar tillery, who had lost part ot his upper lip in the West Indian campaign, has been awarded the first pension on account of the Spanish war. The President and Secretary of War each took an interest in this case. Gates c illed on them in person soon after the close of the cam paign, and convinced them of the merits of his claim.

In referring to the bestowal of the right of suffrage upon the negro by the Repub licau party, the Philadelphia Itecord has this to say: "Never was a worse politicrl mistake make in this country than when the Kepub licaM party, with the selfish view of secur ing permanent coutrol of the Southern States, armed the Jignorant negro popula tion with ihe right of suffrage. The result has been to halt negro advancement by making the whole white population antag omstic as a matter of self preservation TlicSOuthern people have been made solid ly anti-Republican. Negro domination has proved intolerable wherever the exper iment has been tried, andn dangerous float ing vote has been artiled to the electorate in States in which the negro population is but a small per oentage of the whole. After hundreds of years ot slavery there should have been, at least for the lifetime of two or three generations, a season of probation to fit the Afrii-an for the full exercise citizenship. Xow the poor negro, without such an apprenticeship, has to wade blood to gather ihe spoils of office to which he dfc&iiis nimseil .entitled For the rare riot in the South there is no seeming help They are deplorable, they are disgraceful But our mistaken policy has made them inevitable. The equality of the two fac-es has been established on paptjt, but it can not be maintained in practice. The weak er race must bend to the stronger. This is a law that no act of Congress can repeal." Thus the Northern people are coming surely, if slowly, to acknowledge as well as recognize the appalling cruelty iuflicted upon the negro by his enfranchisement, and the ruinous results which must follow its continuance. These Northern people not silly admit the impossibility of establishing equality of the races in the South, but ad mit, as the Record does, that a dangerous floating vote has been added to the elector ate in States in which the negro population is but a small percentage of the whole. As is well known, the negro vote to-day is the balance of bever iir- Pennsylv ania, Ohio, New Vork, Maryland, and we think India na aud Illinois. There is but one remedy, aud that was pointed out by The Post two days ago. There is but one certain and satisfactory way to correct the evil the grievous mis take, as the Record calls it and that is to repeal the law conferring this privilege, including in the act a clause forever limit ing such privilege to - those of Caucasian blood. Cannot the Reeord rise full nu to the occasion and urge this remedy? DEATH I THE I'UU. Twelve Men U round to Death Under Iron Wheels. New York, Nov. 13 While a gang of twenty track hands were at work upon the Pennsylvania railway's line over the Hack ensack, near Jersey City, they were run down by a local passenger train. Twelve of the workmen were killed outright and five were seriously injured. Only three escaped unhurt. The dead men all lived in Jersey City. William Quirk, the foreman of the gang of workmen, made this statement: "The sm ke and fog are to blame. My men were in a cloud of smoke when the calamity came upon us. I had Michael Lawless stationed about fifty yard ahead of the gang, to give us warning. Lawless was struck first and cut to pieces. My men were mowed down like grass." Engineer Vannostrand said: "I felt sure that the track was clear and hail no idea that in that cloud of smoke and fog jus ahead of me were twenty laborers who did not know of my coming. I got within 100 yards, when my locomotive struck the out post, Michael Lawless. 1 put on the brakes at once, but iu another second 1 was upon the main gang, and my locomotive cut them down before I could stop the train There were harrowing scenes when the bodies reached the Pennsylvania 1 ail road yard in Jersey City.

MAY OK WADDELL EX ED. Til HEAT- He Receive Three Anonymous Xotes Threatening Letters Received by Several Other Woniiueiit White . .Tien. Wilmington Special, 17th, to Raleigh Post. Mayor Waddell to-day received three anonymous communications threatening him" with death if be failed to leave tbe city within 2 hours. The incident caused a ripple of excite ment in municipal circles, bat the mayor treated the matter lightly and stated that it would not cause him any loss of sleep. Several well knowu citizens who were prominent in the recent revolution have received similar letters. All of these were mailed at the Wilmington post- office, aud were writen by some igno rant person or persons, evidently ne groes. None of the recipients have taken the matter seriously. Though if the writer of the missive is found it will prove a se rious case with him. Notices to leave continue to be served at intervals on unpopular persons, prin cipally white "fusionisU" and whiteskia Republicans, and several badly fright ened men have packed up their effects and left this and contiguous territory in the past few days. 1 is mm mm TBE EXCELENCE OF SYECP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California.

One of the most forceful suggestions we have seen in some time is contained: in the following, taken from the Rich mond Times: "North Carolina is a white man's State again. This very threat of negro domi nation forbids Southern people from en gaging in intelligent discussion of any other questi n concerning our govern ment. It has forestalled all possibility of a school of politics growing up iu our midst that produces such men as Claj Calhoun, Mason, Stevens, Toombs, Tan ey, Dayis, John Bell, Breckinridge, and others of the ante-bellum forum leaders. All study of representative government, all power of argument on the hustings, all gifted pens in public print are allowed to "rust in us unused," because of the con stant threat of negro domination in our State governments. It is time every Southern State was saying to the world , like the Wilmington resolutions, that it is a white man's government, and will eternally remain so. With that decided upon, we proceed then to develop in the South schools of public men that can in telligently divide on questions pertaining to the very lifehood of our republic, and which will develop our great resources and our foreign trade. Then can the fires of true patriotism burn brightly, and we can seek the good of the republic along the lines of reason and public poli cy, and can jaeet fairly men from other States in debate on all questions that may arise without dreading its effect on our own homi State governments." The unfortunate negio has be2n the unintentional and irresponsible incubus upon the South since the emancipation. He was wickedly thrust upon the coun try as a pollticai factor, and, the greatest regret felt by all Sout&sra people iS that the evil effects of this has not returned with full force to curse those who so wantonly forced him to his own and the country's hurt. But his presence has certainly dwarfed the South and the as pirations and attainments and usefulness of her people. The evil is not done with altogether, though its dangers to our immediate section have been curtailed. But when this menace is removed, for the good of all, the suggestions of the rimes article will fructify, to the whole country's good. Southern thought and ambition will reach out for a higher plane. She has the material left yet the seed is still here, it only needs the op portunity to develop. Needed Practice. Chicago Post.
