COL WADDELL TALKS RULE ABOUT NEGRO And Negro Insolence in the City of Wilmington and the Intolerable Conditions Which Followed With Negro flagistrates, Negro Police men, Negro Deputy Sheriffs, and Negro Jurymen it Was Impossible to Convict Negroes of Crime.

The speaker was introduced iu a few appropriate remarks by Col. John A. Uarriner, who referred to the con dition of alTairs in IHfJS, when 1 he new const i 1 11 1 inn of N'oith Carolina was vutcd on, and u lien thousands of the best men in the State were deprived I of the liht of su H'raof, at the same I lime the recent ! v enfranchised iie ! ifrui'S"-slaves of tlmse who Were dis i f ra ticlii.-i d bt i :ir ulluwoi! ihe privi- !eoL. uf vuti iil;.

Cnl. V.'ailili-I! was greeted with tu rn i! ! i i;:iti s appla ii st and .-aid. --I hae come tu state, as our Methodist friends sav, my experience my ex perience from observation of facts w : i t-1 1 came i m mcd ialel v under my eve.'" He alluded to the race confer ence recent 1 v held in Moll I joinery. Al:t., where he spoke on 'StilTrae iu the South." 'mi t i 11 n i 11 or hL. said, '-Is in-oi-0 sulTiae a race problem? If so, who produced it, and what is the remedy? Hefore 1 lie Civil War in the States of Connecticut, Ohio, Kansas, Minnesota and N'ew York the ijueslion of"iieM-t sntTraire was voted down by overwhidmin"; majorities. In the chief justice of Connecticut de clared that Indians aud negroes were not citizens and the Supreme Court of the I'niteil States so held. In Illi nois and Indiana negroes were not only not allowed to vote, but they were not allowed to come into the Slates, nor were their Southern own ers allowed to brin them in and set them free. In recent years we have hud a practical illustration of this hatred of the negro, when the Covernor of Illinois ordered Catling onus turned on defenceless Southern negroes who had gone to l'ana to seek employment. "Lincoln and other great leaders of ihe Kepublican party were opposed to conferring the right of suffrage on the negroes after the' had been given their liberty, and said it was danger ous to allow this question to enter reconstruction. Thad. Stevens and those of his school, who linally pre vailed, openly declared their purpose in enfranchising the negroes to be to permanently establish the Kepub lican party in power. But there was a meaner motive behind it all. It was done to humiliate the Southern people, and not because the negro was titttcd for citizenship." The speaker referred to an editorial in last Saturday's Washington Post, whose editor is a Kepublican aud a former member of Congress from Ohio. The editorial in question stated that no State in the North would have submitted to the wrong jierpetrated upon the Southern States by the fourteenth and lifteenih amendments to the Federal constitution, and added that there is now scarcely an intelli gent man in the North who will not admit it was a stupendous blunder. Dr. Lvman Abbott's recent utterance in regard to manhood suffrage was also alluded to. Col. Waddell said the time had at last come in North Carolina when all white men, and the more intelligent negroes, have presented to them in a political campaign a question of pa triotism, pure and simple. He added that there is but one issue in this cam paign, parties and individuals being utterly ignored, the issue being the question. "Are you 11 white man or a negro?" At the Montgomery conference I advocated the repeal of the tifteenth amendment. But whether the rifteenth amendment is repealed or not. or whether we pass the amendment in North Carolina does not so much con cern inv people. We have freed our selves from negro domination, and there is not power enough in the United States army or under the planets to cause us to again submit to it." (Loud applause.) In passing Col. Waddell took oc casion to pay his respects to Spencer Adams, who went out of his way in a speech at Asheboro a day or two ago to make a mean aud unjustiliable at tack upon him in saying that the Wilmington revolution was "deliber ately concocted aud carried out for the sole purpose of giving old man Waddell bread and meat." Col. Wad dell said he did not wish to discuss the taste of a man who would make such an assault, but added that he considered it the greatest-compliment that had eTer been paid him the as sertion that the white people of a city of 25,000 inhabitants would plan and execute a revolution for the pur pose of furnishing him bread and meat. By way of parenthesis, he re ferred to "Adams' appetite for political bread and meat. He said that Adams had the appetite of a goat, and not content with the nomination for Gov ernor, had had the nomination of a Kepublican candidate for Cougress deferred until after the August elec tion. Col. Waddell told in a plain and forceful manner of the terrible condi- 1 tion of affairs in Wilmington previ ous to the revolution, when negores, and white men without character, were in power. In tha county of New Hanover there were ninety-three negro office holders, and negroes sat on every jury, refusing to convict negroes of heinous crimes. The time came when ladies dared not walk the streets of Wilmington, even during the daytime. That section of the State became a negro paradise and negroes llocked in by the hundreds. In Wilmington 100 burglaries were committed within thirty day., aud not an arrest was made. Robbery and violence were daily occurrences. The white people stood it, but every man carried a gun. And when the elec tion was over, and there was no dan ger of jeopardizing the result, the revolution came. In speaking of the revolution to a Wilmington lady, who had stood on her porch with a gun in her hand, President McKinley said: "It was mighty cleverly done," re ferring to the action of the w hite peo ple in taking charge oT the affairs of the city. In concluding. Col. Waddell said: "Do you desire this state of affairs repeated? Do you want race disorder perpet tinted, or do you want quiet and good government in North Caro lina? That's the only question. The white man who votes against the amendment is my enemy and the enemy of my wife and my children an enemy to order and civilization, and should be considered as such. If a while man prefers negro domina tion, he should be made to transact his business and associate with them." WAIT. ( Felix Fantom, in Windsor la-duer.)

IOC WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. Through Spanish Glasses. NEWS THAT WILL BE NEWS TO THE AMERICANS. The Geography ol the Country, the People and their Peculiar Charac terises as Viewed by Some of the Newspapers in the Land of the Dons Danger Which Threatens the Pres dent and His Party from Certain Indian Tribes. (Chicago Chronicle.) A young Chicagoan who is now making a tour of Spain on a bicycle has been vastly amused by reading some of the inflammatory articles in the Spanish papers and has made free translations of them for the delecta tion of his parents. Some of the papers rejoice mildly over the trou bles this country has fallen heir to in its recent acquired possessions, while others liercely insist that the rule of the United States over Porto Rico and the Philippines will be auore autocratic than that exercised by the King of Spain. Iu a recent letter to his parents the young man inclosed a number of clip pings from Madrid and provincial papers with the translation of each attached. One of the most rabid anti- American papers is impartial despite j its name, and the editor remarks as follows: "At last the American has begun to show his true colors in the manage ment of the colonies ceded by Spain and all other things following the recent war. The mask of hypocrisy has been torn off and the lying cant about humanity and destiny is now drowned out by the shouting of com mercial bidders seeking to bind up the islands in franchises for every manner of public works. Even the President's secretary, Senor Hauna, has his share and is to be made admiral of a fleet of ships operated by the Government between the port of Chicago and Porto Rico to bring the products of the island into the coun try. All the expense will be placed on the people of Porto Rico by taxes, and the profits of the scheme will go into the pockets of Senor Hanna and his associates, as the American news papers declare. "It is also reported that President McKinley will be forced to resign next November and that the Congress will choose as his successor General Shafter, the military autocrat who was in Cuba during the war. It is known that the two men are enemies and recently had a public quarrel in the Senate, where President McKinley was presiding, which was prevented from becoming a national affair only by the interference of Col. Bryan, governor of tne province of Boston. Not all of the American people ap prove the high-handed rule of Mc Kinley in the islands and a revolution may result if he does not abdicate, as the freedom party is strong and de termined and is gathering arms in large quantities near New York and Florida to march on Washington, the site of the palace on the Mississippi from which McKinley issues his edicts." But El Impartial is not the only journal which should subscribe for a good family atlas. Its near neighbor, El Libcrtad, might find out a few things without straining any nerves, as witness its pungent utterances: "It is not always best to be a hero, at least not in the United States, where the people seem to rapidly for get the huzzas they lavished on Ad miral Dewey. For sinking a few light wooden hulks, many unprotected even bv a sheath of iron, the Ameri cans lauded him a the naval hero of all history. Within a year they have forgotten and he is now on a tour of the country, banished from the capi tal, where he is unwelcome. He has been informed that his (Kipularity was dangerous and distasteful to Presi dent McKinley and ho went at once before the people for endorsement. But his reception has been very cold and at Pennsylvania, one of the largest of the sea coast cities, the men of the fleet mutined and refused to fire salutes for the admiral until several were whipped at the triangle. "When Don Allen, the governor of Porto Rico, was sent over to the island a few weeks ago from Boston, where he was in command of all the land forces, he was not allowed to wear his uniform. It was stripped from him by command of the Senate, that the colonists might not see through the lorm ol military uespot - itn thfor covern tnen t is to be under ... . ... under McKinlev's reign. Allen is fam - ous for the cruelties he practised upon the Indians when he was in charge of the Indian provinces lying West of the Mississippi a few years ago, and is qute the man to carry out the orders of the American government in Porto Rico. This is the autonomy promised to the unhappy natives. The garrote, the whip and the prison cell will doubtless be their portion." This gleeful chorus is joined by El Mattn a new remer which has seen the light only a few months. The j question being made as to its Con editors have "evidently been poring j stitutionality. and that while it has over the maps ol the Lnitea States maps made in 1800. It savs: "Whalever mav be the outcome of the revolution which is soon to burst . 1 in America over the question of keep-i ing the Philippine Islands, the Spanish j mercnants 01 tuoa can oniy oe oene titted, for they and their adherents, the tricked and deceived natives, can then take up the battle for their rights, trampled upon and outraged bv the Americans. The "Teat province by the Americans. The great province of Louisiana, in the Southwest of America, contains many savage tribes of Indians who would gladly seize the opportunity to drive out the invaders from New York who are robbing them of their mines and. pearl fisheries. The Separatist party, which is led by Monroe, the champion of what they sT.U th. nVoeine, anl which is opposed to holdinrr colonies is is opposed to homing colonies, is eager to take ad vantage of the unrest among the Indian tribes, and is said to be secretly arming them for an outbreak which, if successful, would place Monroe at the head of govern ment and doubtless result in the imprisonment of McKinley, Bryan, Dewey and the other leaders of" the colonist party. "The men now in command seem to realize the nearness of their dan ger and are making desperate at tempts to stem the tide of disfavor. (Jen. Roosevelt, governor general of New York, who received his post in return for his services in the war, has steadily sent liodies of troops to guard the canals near Canada, one of the principal cities, by which the invad ers threaten to descend upon Wash ington. The situation is very serious and shows how much opposed the Americans were to the war which was forced upon Spain." Several of the subaltern officers who served in the Cuban campaign have lately contrinuted articles to the more rabid newspapers defending their commanders and fiercely criti cising the conduct of the American "pigs" who unfeelingly forced them to surrender. Altogether the anti American feeling appears to lie almost as strong as it was in the wild days preceding the declaration of war. HOW THEY MISREPRESENT. A Sample of Republican Methods North Carolina. In The Republicans have been circu lating a printed circular claiming that, in his inaugural address. Gov. Heard, of Louisiana, made a state ment to the effect that the new Con stitutional amendment of that State disfranchised illiterate white men as well as ignorant negroes. Hon. F. M. Simmons, Chairman of the Demo cratic Executive committee, sent a copy of that campaign circular to (iov. Heard asking if he meant by his inaugural address to imply that any white men had been disfranchised", and also what had been the effect of the amendment iu his State as to un educated white voters. This answer was received yesterday and is as fol lows: Statu of Louisiana, Ex. Dep't. Baton RorGE, June 9, 1900. Hon. F. M. Simmons, Chairman Demo cratic Stale Executive Committee, Italcigh, N. C: Dear Sir. Your letter of the 6th instant received, with enclosed print ed circular, giving extracts from my inaugural address. The conclusions drawn from these extracts by the publisher of this cir cular are not warranted, and the statement contained in the circular to the effect that the Democratic party had deprived any white people in Louisiana of their right of suffrage is not true. Under the new Constitu tion of Louisiana, adopted in 1898, there is an educational or property qualification required. This educa tional qualification is that "he shall be able to read and write," and a sim ple test of this is required in the shape of a blank form of application to be rilled out by the applicant. If the citizen cannot read and write, but is possessed of $300 worth of property assessed for taxes, he is thereby qualified. But our Constitu tion went further and provided that no male person who was, on January 1st, 1867, or at any prior date, en titled to vote in any State of the United States, and the sons and the grandsons of any such person, should be denied the right to vote because he had not the educational or prop erty qualification. This provision, which became known as "Section V," opened the door to practically every white man in the State, whether rich or poor, educated or illiterate. It was furthermore provided that those claiming the right of suffrage under this section should have the privilege of going on a PERMANENT REGIS TRATION ROLL, to be put on record in the office of the Secretary of State, so that no registration officer or other official could ever deprive them of their right to vote. The reference to the beneficial ef fects of the suffrage mentioned in my inaugural address was in general terms, and considered from a general standpoint the vast improvement in the electorate of the State since the elimination of the large mass of ne- gro voters. Our jieople are, of course, all familiar with our suffrage ante election laws, and it was not neces-1 sary to go into !ftiili f,fi viwli tin (ir- ' casion.
