IS TEE NEGRO UNTITLED TO
OFFICER
The article printed in The Gazette of
January 1 from the pen of Golonel Puck
ette of the W ae6 Day proposing a novel
solution of the socalled riice pioblem7
in the South f is one of the most notable
df Southern utterances upon the subject
The scholarship of the author his prac-
tical experience in the politics of a state
that has perhaps suffered more than any
other on aeeduritof race troubles and the
originality the ingeniousness and
boldness df his plan commend it to the
attention of the thoughtful the curious
and the radical
To The Gazette it seems that the
premises of Colonel Puckette contain ir-
reconcilable proposals The two ideas he
thinks should be kept in view an any sys-
tem of reconstruction are 1 The
absolute ascendancy of the white race in
local state and national polities for all
time to come 2 A fair and equitable
minority representation in government to
the colored race The evolution of this
dual objeot is given in a plan distributing
representation in the Federal congress be-
tween the blacks and the whites in a
ratio that would givethe form era strictly
race representation for threefifths of
their own papulation The idea is re-
ferred to the old Federal constitutionf
which gave the slave
congressional representation
threefifths of their negro
ulation It is hardly necessary
mdnsfrate that the two theories
correlative
tlon gave
whites who
tion to the
states
for
pop
to de
are not
The plan of the eonstitu
the representation to the
stood in a patriarchal rela
and not to the ne
groes themselves
Pasfc experience has demonstrated to
tlie satisfaction of all white people who
live in the South Republicans as well as
Democrats the necessity for the absolute
political domination of the white race
It has demonstrated something more
that such domination can only be secured
by the elimination of the negro from poli-
tics as a separate political factor So
long as his vote is directed to the oneend
of getting negroes in office he is a dan-
gerous menace to the good government of
those sections where he preponderates in
numbers Herein lies the error of Colo-
nel Puckette and of so many well
meaning but misinformed Northern
critics of the South it is in considering
the race question as a political ques-
tion It is assumed without ar-
gument that the South has
wronged
the negro because it has
withheld from him political recognition
and that all race troubles will disappear
when a liberal sprinkling of blacks is
shown among the officeholders of the
South The Gazette believes thatsuch
a result would mean the beginning of
more serious troubles iustead of the end
of those that now exist If there be any
virtue in the proposal to put the
negro in office it must be because
his race has not received due at
tention in the past from the gov-
ernment Is that true What have the
whites failed to do for the negro that he
himself would do through the medium of
government aid They have given him
an equal chance with the white man in
the race for material advancement in the
world they have educated his children
they have made his status before the law
precisely equal to that of the white man
Nothing else can be required that the
white race could concede and preserve its
selfrespect
The idea that any race or class of peo
ple is entitled of right to share in politi-
cal powei is not consistent with demo-
cratic ideas nor with American interests
Suffrage is a privilege riot a fight arid
that unless wisely conferred it can solve
no problem lias already been
clearly demonstrated iri the case
of thenegro himself To extend to Hinr
peculiar officeholding privileges because
of his color would be a much more
dangerous experiment than was at-
tempted in tho heat of passion having
for its object the punishment riot the
wellbeing of the South Hundreds
of thousands of people in the
North are without representation
Of their choice iri the FedernL
congress There is no reason why to
smaller arid rilucli less intelligent fninori
ty in the < South should have representa-
tion there of which these are deprived
To give a few negroes places iri con-
gress upon the bench of iri tlie executive
departments of government would not
change the characteristics of the
raoe nor would it improve for
the better his purposes arid aiii
bitioris If would intensify hi r political
zeal but from that nothing has pro-
ceeded heretofore but harm to himself
and harm to his whitneighbors
What thef negro needs most is not en-
couragement of his political Sspinitidrisyt
but enootfnigement to sooiai hltellecfnat
arid moral devrtdpnferit Without that
he1 is and imist continue fo beapo litie al

THE GOVEBNOg MESSAGE
The condition of stateaffairs as exhib-
ited in the message sent by Governor Ross
to the Twentyfirst legislature re-
flects credit upon the administra-
tion which has shaped the executive
course of the government for fiie
past two years It is not so flattering
perhaps as might be desired by those
wlio would have all the beriefits of gov-
ernment without bearing any of its ex-
penses bnt those who will tako the
trouble to make comparisons will find that
the cost of government has been reduced
in Texas to nearly the minimum point
while the f nil measure of protection fo the
citizen is rigidly preserved
The intimation of a probable deficiency
in the general revenuefund at thp end of
the current fiscal year will not surprise
those wlio with the governor opposed
the adoption of the 10 cent revenue rate
at the special session of 1S67 The amount
of the deficiency wiil depend upon the
size of the appropriations made by the
present legislature The governor
calls attention to the fact that
the estimates ihade by tile heads
of the various departments and public
institutions exceed previous appropria-
tions by 371501 and suggests that hi
the interest of strict economy some of
these demandsinay be overlooked
The fact that the cost of the judiciary
department has exceeded its appropria-
tions for the last two years by 337500 is
made the basis for recommendations of
needed changes in tlie judiciary system
Tlieniosfcimportantofthe se are to re-
quire closer investigation by grand juries
before the finding of an indictment to
limit the causes for which continu-
ances may be obtained thus reducing the
easesiri which double fees to sheriffs and
witnesses are allowed and to penriit but
one prosecution of what is really but one
offense Another recommendation bear-
ing upon the same subjeot suggests ihe
reduction of a large percentage of felo-
nies to the grade of misdemeanors and
that juries be given greator discretion iri
the matter of senterices instead df being
confined to arbitrary terhis fixed by stat-
ute As a financial reason for this change j
the governor instances the heavy increase
in the prison population of the state which
has grown from 2839 in 1SS6 to 3302 iri
I88Sr and will pfobabiy reach 1000 in
1890 With present accommodations
less than 2000 can be confined within the
walls and not that number can be profit-
ably employed there-
Upon the subjeot of the land law the
governor adopts by reference the report
of the laud commissioner He iii
thriates pretty clearly tho belief
that the system of forfeitures for
nonpayment of the annual in-
terest on August 1 is unconstitutional
and suggests that the legislature should
consider the advisability of adopting
some other method of enforcing the de-
mands df the state
Other questions of peculiar interest
treated of in the message are the subjects
of railroads and the libel law With re-
spect to the one the governor advises a
conservative course that shall bring the
roads within strict cdutrot of the state
under a policy equitable to them and
to the people The recommenda-
tion that the Michigan libel law
should be adopted is the most rirdnou rieed
and progressive proposal that has ever
been made upon the subject by a Texas
official Its provisions give ample pro-
tection to sincere and inndcent publica-
tions while they iri no wise protect the
wanton libeler As stated by Governor
Ross thisstatute provides thatfiri ac-
tions for libel the plaintiff shall recover
Only actual damages if it is made to ap-
pear that the publication was iri good
faith and does not involve a criminal
charge and watf corrected by the defend
ant as soon a apprised of its
falsity No recovery in any casve to
exceed 5000 and actual damages The
justice of the recommeridatidri that the
plaintiff should be confined fo one5 action
is apparent andr on the other hand it
will be conceded by the pi ess that the
venue Of the suit should riot be restricted
to the county in which the paper is
5
published
The statement quoted from the comp
trollers Teport with reference to the
public debt is a most interest-
ing one It shows that exclusive
of state holdiihgs the bonded debt
it is but 1220630 Bonds are held by
various state funds to the extent of 3
017100
The message is one from which the Cit-
izen can glean satisfaotion both with re-
spect to its exhibits and its recommenda-
tions It savors of conservatism eeonb
rny and justice a ridy keeping these three
thingsin view tbd Twentyfirst legisla-
ture may do much for the benefit of the
state and to its own credit

He must fight as a boy he must drink as a

He must kiss hamust 16ve he must swear to

Of the friend of his soul he must laugh td scorn

That are clear ris the wells of P aradisev
And so he goes on till tne world prows7 old
Till his tongue has grown cautious his heart
has grown cold
Till the smilo leaves his mouth and the ring
leaves his laugh
And he shirks the bright headache ydu askf hird
