THE RACE PROBLEM

ENFRANCHISING THE NEGRO.
Was a Fundamental Mistake, Says
Mr. Littlefield, a Congress-
from the State
of Maine.
man
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says Charleston
will hear with interest of & speech
made in Washington Wednesday night
by Representative Littlefield, of Maine,
upon the “Race Problem of the South.”
Mr. Littlefield was a member of the
Congressional party that visited the
Charleston Exposition week before
education to create in any race the
power of self-government. It may lie
latent power in some races that only
need the touch of the higher elvillzed
bodies of men to develop. I am pre
pared to say it is not In the power of
the negro to govern himself, as some
people have said. What we know of
the Filipino —what Gen. Chaffee says
in his report—is that this race excels
in duplicity, treachery and the drts of
savagery the American Indian. There
are ten millions of people dependent
upon us. Only a few of them can
read and write. I do not know what
will be accomplished. I do not think
it is giving away a State secret to say
that there is not a man in the House
of Representatives on either side who
sees the proper solution of this prob
lem ahead. I believe that the Ameri
can people now face a serious situation;
that It will require all the shrewdness
and Christianity of our people to solve
this most difficult question.

Grand Master Walter M. Whitehead,
of tlie South Carolina Grand lodge,
contributes a card to the Charleston
Evening Puat Thursday, called “Draw
ing the distinction between Ancient
Free Masonry and the order of the
Mystic Shrine’’ with the end in view
that the public should not confuse the
serious order with the amusement
branch of Masonry, about which so
much is being written and talked now
in connection with the coming celebra
tion of “Shriners’ day" at the exposi
tion. Grand Master Whitehead ex
plains that the Mystic Shrine with ail
its amusements and attractions Is not
Masonry, although the only prerequis
ite for membership in the Mystic
Shrine is that the applicant must be
either a Knight Templar ora Mason

“But, turn from the white house to

whilst old ship st^bsidy does the regu

their arbitrary power in the white

congress, the leaders of this party of
federalism and false pretension would
rip open Pandora’s box to filch thence
the black, piratical flag of negro dom-'

Jumped From a Train.
Tlie Blackville correspondent of The
State says the passengers on the early
morning train from Augusta to Char
leston witnessed a surprising incident
just before the train reached Black-
ville Thursday morning. A young
lady, Miss May Folk, who lives near
Williston, boarded tlie train at that
station en route to Columbia. Upon
nearing the place the porter as usual
called, “Blackville.” -Miss Folk im
mediately rosp from her seat, hastily
ran to the door«and leaped from the
train which was then running at some
30 or 40 miles an hour. When the
train stopped 4t returned and found
the jroung iady unconscious. She was
brought to the hotel and found to be
severly injured, suffering from concus
sion of the braid, shoulder dislocated
and badly bruised. She Is now in a
very critical condition.

own Stnte. d«K* an Act of ('ungreas
seek to pifihe an inferior race on an
equal folding with men who have liv
ed Uirofigh two thousand years of
Christianity? The nation .sought to
create in the negro race the ability
not only to govern themselves, but to
assist In the government of others.
What was the result? This race was
in the midst of a people developed In
the highest state of civilization known
to man. A people who have been
overwhelmed by one of their own kind
and whose wounds, physical and mor
al, were smarting under the blow of
defeat
“The Kuklux Klan was the out
come, with its civilization behind it,
trying to suppress the newly-created
citizens. Then came the “grandfath
er clause which virtually disfran-
chises every negro in the South where
it is in existence. If the elective fran
chise had been given only to those
who had the- intelligence to use it the
tendency In the South would have
been to ■ increase its representation by
legitimate means. To-day the tenden
cy is to keep Southern men in igno
rance and to keep-the negro out of con
trol. To increase the representation
properly tinder such conditions requires
the utmost intelligence.
“Few mqn,JnoqJay know what Is to
be done.' The negro is with us. He
has the right of citizenship and we
bannot. adopt the measure so often
suggested to deport him. There is
no authority under which we can de
port a citizen from the United States.
That namesake of the Father of his
Country, who is working down In Ala-
lama, Is doing the most practical
work. We must look to the practical
education of the negro as khe only so
lution of the problem. Fundamental
mistake was in enfranchising the race,
placing In the hand# of those people
powers they were unqualified to exer
cise, giving them power over a civiliz
ed race overpowered by war. It takes
more than a generation or two. or
three, even, to civilize any people. For
tunate will be tip feoeraJJoo that will

To the Editor of The State:
Seeing an Inquiry in your paper as
to the whereaboutsof Dr. J. W. Powell,
surgeon in the Confederate States
army. I will say Dr. Powell went to
Mississippi during the yellow fever
epidemic several years ago and died of
the fever. He went there to help the
fever sufferers and lost hi* life. Dr.
Powell was a native of Fairfield ooua-
ty and has quite a number of relatives
in that county now.

Speaking of the Crumpacker resolu
tion, Representative D. Linn Gooch,
of Kentucky, who is one of the most
conservative men In the house, said
last week that “for once the Republi
cans have placed themselves in a hole.”
He said further: “We remember what
followed the force bill legislation of the
fifty-first congress—the election of a
Democratic house and two years later
the election of Mr. Cleveland. I do
not hesitate to say that in my humble
opinion we will elect a Democratic house
this fall and thus pave the way to car
ry the presidential election In 1904,
and the Crumpacker resolution will
prove to be worth thousands of votes
to us next November.”

Senator Pattersons, of Colorado in

Irresistible desire to retire Geo. Mites
from his position at the head of the

mony In the military establishment
which he was only kept from adopting
by the urgent advice of his friends in
the senate. This indictment of the
measure by Gen. Miles corresponds
with that pre sen ted several days ago
by this newspaper on the strength of
Secretary Root’s admission that the
purpose of the army bill was to let
the ranking officer of the army “come
In with the president and go out with
president.” We observe that Henry
Wattereon took the same view in his
speech on Monday night, when he de
clared that this army recorgnizatlon
bill, If it shall become a law, “will
make the power of the president abso
lute” and that it ought to be entitled
“ad act to make the president of the
United States a military dictator.”
