A Talk With Ex-Representative Nor- wood of Georgia. BE SAYS THE REPUBLICANS CANNOT BREAK THE SOLID SOUTH—NEARLY ALL T, REFORMERS DOWN THERE—FEDERAL £1 ON LAWS WILL BEA DEAD LETTER—THE NEGRO IN POLITICS. A Star reporter met ex-Representative Nor- wood at Willard’s today. He has grown a little grayer since he left the House, but the bright eyes of the satirist light up his grizzly visage. Ex-Senator, ex-governor, ex-Representative and author, he is full of experience and is an in- teresting talker, Heiss southerner through and through, thinking and acting with his people. He has just returned from a visit to the east and will be here for a week or ten days before going tohishome in Georgia, He expresses himseli as not much troubled by the efforts of the republicans to break into the south, He thinks they can’t do it, “Ninety-nine out of every one hundred of the intelligent people of the south,” he said, “are tariff reformers, Thegreat mass of the people don’t know what tariff is. They follow the ninety.nine, and the bundredth man, who isa protectionist on account of some perfonal in terest, has no following. The republicans can re nothing with our people on the tariff ques- ion.” THE SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE NEGRO PROBLEM. Speaking of the prospect of federal election laws by the next Congress to regulate the elec- tions in the south he said: ‘They may pass their laws, but they will be a dead letter. It is too late to interfere with the affairs of the south in that way now. Our ople will not regard any legislation intended to place the negro over them, And the sentiment in the north is against it, The negro hasadvanced among us as rapidiy as he is capable of, and the best thing is to let him alone, Thinking ple all over the country see this, Itis only a few politicians thatare trying to keep up the agitation, We are note savage and brutal people; we are kind and humane to the Lg. ep And, more than that, we know him, ie is not capa- ble of vernment and the intelligent people of the south will not Tmit themselves to be dominated by him. y at tempt to force him forward by Federsl legisla- tion will result to his own disadvantage and to the injury of the person that attempts it Let us alone and we will take care of him. He is the laborer of the south, as necessary to the wel- fare of the section as such, as is the labor in the factories in the north, We have no inclination to, and cannot afford to oppress or ill treat him, What man of reason wants ignorance and superstition put above intelligence? Asa voter THE NEGRO IS A FAILURE. After twenty-five years of fostering and educa- tion you have, for an example, those negroes in Georgia leaving their work and their homes to follow and worship a crank who says he is the saviour, and when he is put in the insane asylum they fall down and worship one of their one number who jumps up and proclaims him- self as God, “The ballot with the negro, take him as a whole, is a toy he has got tired of. He has no idea of the purpose of the ballot or how to use it. He has used it in a blind sort of way until he is tired of it, and he doesn't go to the polls now unless there is some special reason for it. If he is working for aman who wants him to vote, he wili go up and cast his ballot because his employer wants him to. Otherwise you must give him a drink or a quarter to induce him to vote. Some such a reason as that must intluence him. He would rather stay at his work than lose the time. “Some republican politicians accuse us of sup- pressing the negro votes, because they are not cast. The fact merely that the great mass of the negroes not knowing the use of the bal- lot, have got tired now that the novelty is worn oe and they do not wantto vote. They stay at ome.” FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS. The Government That Much a Gainer by Paper Money Lost or Destroyed. There is issued every month from the Treas- ury department a great, square sheet of paper, full of printed figures, complicated financial terms and dollar marks. It is called the state- ment showing the condition of the national debt of the country and gives the amount of money on hand, the various obligations of the government in the way of bonds and promis- sory notes, balanced against each other. By means of an arithmetic unsolvable by the lay- mau this shows the amount of the debt, the size of the surplus and various other interest- ing items. This form of statement was adopted by the last administration almost immediately upon its accession, the old one used i the preceding United States treasurer being amended beyoud recognition. Treasurer Hus- ton is now thinking over the matter of chung- ing the form again. 80 as to make the debt stutement show things in a different light trom that which 1s now cast upon the financial con- ditiou of the country by this monthly sheet of Paper. SWELLING THE SURPLUS STATEMENT, “The object of the change from the old form to the preseut one, adopted under the Cleve- land administration,” he said today toa Stax reporter, “was to swell the upparent size of the surplus, It is not « tair statement to send ont, for vy the system of bouk keeping there carried out there are a good many things put down as liabilities that should properly belong on the other side, or rather could be very materially reduced, For example, there is an item in- serted every month a4 a liability of several mil- ious of doliars, this being a part of one of the first issues of war notes, Now, it is Known ax an absiute fact chat millions of these dollars have been destroyed, torn, burned, worn out. de- faced and s made valueiess, aud it is positive WILL NE Prac and 5 j Olfice for the s.c\istical data that is contained | 4 iu th | ports and cannot commence | ® abilities that may eause a disbursement of the writin: of tuem until they receive the | {vulsatany time.

Like the other notes they have in large quantity been destroyed or deiaced beyond recognition, and the remainder are in private collections as curiosities and will undoubtedly retustn there.

Yes, I am thinking very seriously of having the torm changed.” And the treasurer set to signing checks of hundred thousands, THEY MUST LUNCH OUTSIDE. he Restaurant to be Removed from the Biz Department Building. On and sfter Thursday of this weck the clerks in the great State, War aud Navy building who bave heretofore tuxuriated with restaurant facilities within a few steps of their desks will be compelled to walk further for their noonday refreshments, take their lunches in their pockets or go hungry, for an order has gone forth from the powers that Klotz, who has en- joyed tbe restaurant privilege for eighteen months or so, will have to move his plant from the buidiug. The reason given is that the rooms be oceupice on the fourth floor of the uceded by the clerks in their Telegrams to The Star. MORE SEALERS SEIZED. What Their Captains Say of the Action of the Rush. ANOTHER LONDON SCARE. Settlement of the Great Strike Not Probable To-day. Legal Controversy Over the Lone Wis- consin Highwayman. MATTERS AT DEER PARK TO-DAY. The Cronin Murder Case Jury Trouble. FEARS OF VIOLENCE. The London Strikers are in a Turbulent Mood. THE POLICE ARE ARMED WITH BEVOLVERS, BHOW- ING THAT THEY APPREAEND SERIOUS DISTURB- ANCE—NO SETTLEMENT OF THE STRIKE PROBA- BLE TODAY—LIVEBPOOL DOCKMEN ALSO STRIKE, Loxpox, Sept. $.—For the first time since the beginning of the strike the police started out this morning in the cast end districts armed with revolvers. This certainly indicates that the Scotland yard men who have been fora week mingling with the strikers and overhear- ing their plans have reported danger ahead, and that some trouble is looked for today. Notwithstanding this precaution the city ap- pears more quiet this morning than yesterday, and the strikers manifest leas impatience than for some days past. This is undoubtedly due to the knowledge that their leaders are still considering a propeston made by the wharf- ingers last night and which may be accepted at any moment and the strike declared off. In anticipation of this event the men remain quiet, but it can be easily seen that under their as- sumed resignation a giant of unrest is hidden and that the announcement of a failure of the ending negotiations would be at once followed By Gees of savage vengence upon their sup- Yee oppressors. London .is awaiting anx- ously news from the little office of the com- panies in Leaden Hall street, where Burns is in consultation with the wharfingers. THE DOCK OWNERS URGED TO SETTLE THE MATTER. A deputation of prominent ship owners, headed by Sir Donald Currie, called upon the committee representing the dock owners today and again urged the adoption of the proposal submitted by the ship owners yesterday for the settlement of the strike, which was that the ship owners should engage and pay the men. Mr. Norwood, chairman of the joint dock com- mittee, replied that the companies could not accept but were willing to further discuss all juestions with the committee of ship owners. dir Donald Currie said he regretted that the dock companies could not give the owuers a definite answer and expressed a will- ingness to submit the question for discussion to the joint committees of the dock companies and ship owners, He requested that the companies ex- press their views in writing to be submitted to the ship-owners’ meeting which would be held rree in ste ony. me SGRaiact asain lecision destroys all chance of arranging the difference between the strikers and dock owners today, Meanwhile the tempers of the men are becoming bourly more embittered and trouble is feared, DONATIONS FOR THE STRIKERS, At the meeting of the Tower Hill strikers this morning it was decided to continue the strike.
