Any one who will read a certified copy of the proposed amendment and then sav it will disfranchise the poor white men, prefers to lie rather than tell the truth. That's all there is in it.' The opponents of the proposed suffrage amendment have all' along t)een declaring that should the ''grandfather" clause be declared un constitutional, thb "rest of the amend ment will stand, thus placing the illiterate white man on the s'une Wane with the illiterate negro. To remove beyond a shadow of a doubt the mere possibility of such a thing, the legislature at the adjourned ses sion in June will add another clause to the amendment declaring that Should any section of' the proposed amendment bo declared unconstitu tional and fall that the whelp must iall also. 4 So that the people when voting for the' amendment, after this sec lion is added, will themselves'say to the courts that it is their will and intention,' iii adopting the amend ment, that it' shall' either stand a3 a -holo or fall as a whole. This ad ditional section being adopted there- by becomes a part of the constitution and caunot be disregarded by the supreme court. ' The people clearly have a righ t to Bay' in voting on tire amendment Whether cr' not they wish it as a whole or, as u" part, and the court cannot disregard their wish thus ex- THE AMENDMENT.

The oidy spot ou the globe where ne groes, either directly or indirectly, either by themselves or in union with a few rene gade whites, assume to govern the white lace is North Carolina, Throughout the entire North and West there are only a few negro voters, no negro ofliccrs. The negro cuts no figure. Through out the South wherever the ucro is pres ent in large numbers ho is disfranchised by law", by force, and by management. The negro has no voice in the government of - Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia or North Carolina. A negro has no more political power in Canada, Australia, Groat Britain, Germany, Russia, indeed anywhere in Europe, or even iu Austria, than a steer. " Even, in Africa, the home of the negro, where he-might bo supposed to have po litical rights, if any where even iu Africa the negro is a perfect nobody. All the world is looking en w hile the English and the Uoers f r? lighting over the country which belongs to the negro, but ncbody seems to care a rap about the negro, who is being robbed of his land. Iu tho District of Columbia the negro is disfranchised absolutely by ft Republican Congress. Iu Hawaii, in Porto lvioo, in Cuba, in the Philippines the white Yankees aud white Southerners have run over ne groes like sheep by net of a Republican Congress, directed by a' Republican Presi dent, paid for with Republican gold cur rency, officered by old Confederate as well as Yankee generals. Docs anybody suppose that tUe white men cf North Carolina are fools enough and cowards enough to stand still and sub mit to negro domination, when all the rest ol the world is governing the negro ?
