Oldest and GEORGE BEMARKT, T A WORD WIT Regarding George Bemark Regarding George Bemarkt the People's Choice for Mayor. We ask our people all over the city, can they for once stand up for the right thing and be men united in one inseparable band for justice and right. For thirteen long years we have stood for the best interest of the race and have always been an advocate in their behalf—laying all elites aside we are undyingly pledged to the best interests of the race, when we advocate the nomination and election of George Bemarkt Mayor of our city. We stand as unfinishing American Citizens upon the broad ganged plaform of true manhood getting forth to the world our honest convictions for what we conscientiously believe is to the best interest of the people we represent. No man is entitled to be called a man if he, is to weak to stand out bold for men he believes are the most highest prestatives of principle and true Americanism. We are not beating behind the bushes nor singing songs to the wind. Simply standing for the right. It is long since a proven truth that birds of a feather flock together and man is known by the company he keeps. If this be true as many believe, then it the crowd who sat down on negro street commissioners is behind B. L. Short, the gang candidate Mr. Negro will get less and be knocked out of something else. If the M. R. T.'s is a branch of the Lilly White organization (and it is, beyond a dout) and nobody has denied it either way, and B. L. Short their candidate what has the Negro to hope for? Promises are easily broken dear friends and much more easily when an oath bound secret gang is behind a man and boss dictator in the bargain. This is not the usual campaign rot sprung for the purpose of deceiving the Negro but facts. We would have our people to stop and think, and not rush blindly into deep water when so few of us can swim. The time has arrived when negroes must consider and deeply consider the affairs of municipal government. We are Taxpayers. This is our h me—here many of RACE NEWS The late Rev. Peter Fosset, who died in Cumminsville, Ohio, week before last, left an estate valued at about $8,000. J. R. Hamm conducts one of the largest book store in Boston and has a paying trade. He does the great bulk of the theatrical business. Personally the largest catering business in this country is run by J. H. Jares of Penacoma, Fla. He works 18 hands. His profits are about $0.000 a year. B. W. Smith of Macon, Miss. is a merchant of prominence. He does a $80,000 business annually. A few years ago Mr Smith was a comparatively poor man. The Insurance Co., of North and South Carolina, of which E J. Young is Secretary and Manager is one of most substantial business projects of the race. The headquarters is at Charlotte, N. C. The stockholders of the Citizens Savings Bank Co, at Lorain, O., held their annual meeting last week at the bank's parlor and besides other business transactions, elected D. C. Fisher, an Afro-American as one of the directors. J. H. Lewis is of Boston, Mass., is the leading tailor of that city. The Harvard set the ruling class of Boston forms the bulk of his patronage. Mr. Lewis has $40,000 invested in his business, does $125,000 worth of work a year. Geo. J. Jones is the proprietor of one of the largest undertaking establishments in Little Roof, Ark. It is said that no uncertaintaker in that city can conduct an important funeral without the carriages and hearses of Jones. Pine Bluff, Ark. — The Boyd plantation across the Arkansas river, opposite Pine Bluff has been sold by the Equitable Security Co., of New York to E. E Finker, a Negro merchant of this city. The consideration was $15,100 and the place contains 2,100 acres.

L 13, NO. 50 THE our loved ones are sleeping in the silent hill side city Here many of us obsessed into manhood and ripened into old age. In the face of these facts why should we not deeply interest our selves in placing men at the head of affairs that we believe will do their whole duty, not as a tool but as a man. The past record of George Bemarkt is his most solemn pledge for the future. He has endeavored to make our city one worth living in. He has endowed to build up an institution that would allow men a chance to tae care of themselves and family He is not a politician who se hands are stained with dirt that comes from a too close connection with gang fixers. He is a business man with a clean record, one of which the humblest to the most exalted citizen can be proud. In years gone by it has been a regular custom to accuse different candidates of affiliating with different Bosses and dictators. This year it is the people on one side arrayed against gangism and dictatorship on the other. George Bemark is the people's choice, while B L Short represents the gang and Bosses candidate. This is the 20th Century and the first time in that soon to be memorable period, we have the opportunity to nominate and elect a mayor. Let us start our right and elect a clean, honest and upright business man, with a record of having done something besides hold office almost a quarter of the last century. Let us be men and countenance at all times the right honesty of principle and straightforwardness that always wins sooner or later. We speak to our racewebose these things will be taken home to the fireside and carefully gone over. We hope the women of our race will also interest themselves using the judgement for which they are always noted and when the 12th of February arrives each will cast their vote for honest municipal government, George Bemark and the solidity of the Republican party. Isaac Hathaway, the eminent young sculptor-arbit of Lexington, Ky., was wired to come to Beresa Ky. Monday to take a dea-hmask of John G. Foe, the great white educator and librator of the Negro race, who lay dead once beside the little church when he built in 1853, from which he was buried last Tuesday. Mr. Hathaway's work will preserve the beloved features of the octogenerian, which death and the grave have obliterated. The National Baptist Publishing House of Nashville, Tennessee is a large concern of which Rev. R-B Boyd D. is the head. The plant is complete and is manned entirely, from boiler room to office, by Afro-Americans; every employee is governed by a set of printed run. This house does a large amount of printing—quarterlies, books, papers sermons, etc. See what can be accomplished by push, intelligence and perseverance. NEGRO PROBLEM IS VEXING Indiana Towns Take Steps to Rid Themselves of Objectionable Evansville, Ind., Jan. 23—litters and towns along the Ohio river have begun a crusade against the negroes. The entire trouble dates back to the lynchings of the negroes at Rockport and B onville for the murder of white barber, immons, at Rockport, one night last month. The board of safety of the city has ordered the police to arrest all strange negroes and bring them before the city police judge. If they can not give any reason for being here, they will be sentenced to the rock pile. The object of this order is to rid the town of an obnoxious class of negroes. It is estimated that there are 2,000 in this city who absolutely refuse to work. They spend their time in the saloons and low dives of the city. The board of safety was prompt to do this step by the action of the Spencer county grand jury in indi ting 136 negroes of Rockport for sealing their votes on last election day.

Poughkeepsie—"No one, he be rich or poor, has a right to consume during life more than he produces." With this off repeated maxim on his lips, Dr. Chas H. Roberts, the millionaire retired dentist, whose daughter is now seeking to have him declared incompetent to manage his affairs, compelled each of his children to follow some useful occupation. To his daughter Frances, who has brought the action against him, he said "You shall have charge of the farm. You shall apply yourself to the management of the help, to the end that they may be honest and fair with me and you. You shall attend to the farm business until you grow to be a woman of strong character, perfect health and a clear head filled with good practical ideas and sense. You will be the happier for it in the end." To his daughter Grace, who had been educated at Vassar, he said: "You shall take charge of the diary. My money shall be behind the dairy and you shall be maintained in every way. You shall have the full responsibility of the business. Even the milk route shall be yours, and you must give it your attention, in this way you, my daughter, shall not be an idler, and my home shall not be the home of extravagance and waste." To his eldest son, Charles, he gave a mil in High and Village, not far from the homestead, and said: 'You shall own an industry and you shall give it your personal attention. You shall have money to work with, but you must also make money by your own efforts. I have given you all a good education and my purpose in doing that was to prepare you for life's battle, not that you escape all contact with it through the success of one who went before you. I want you to be independent through your own knowledge and experience—and all that I shall give you some day shall be so much added to the score of one who knows how to take care of it. His second son, Oliver, is a practicing attorney, and two other sons are at college. Those who have been thus provided with business opportunities have all applied themselves diligently and each has made a success of the ex eri-ment. They Say. If you love me make Goo Goo eyes.

Jan. 23, 1901. Interesting and Newsy Bits Gathered by Our Correspondents at Tewpeka, Kansas. The advent of Mrs. Nation has over shadowed everything this week. She arrived in the city last Saurday night and immediately begin a tour of the various joists not in the role of a smasher but as a moral persuader. She was not very dially received as admission was denied her and a w man the wife of one of the joint-t, whose place she visited, mother with a broom stick and rained blow after blow upon the physiology of the crusader. No withstanding reports to the contrary Mrs Natin is perfectly rational and is very intelligent, she is meeting with a great reception here in the capital city from the law and order element and at every meeting when she appears she receives an ovation. can nomination for municipal office in the history of the city will be on in earnest. The situation as far as the color man is concerned has not materially changed there is still unfortunately, some wangling and it is dstrumental. It is not however beyond the range of possibilities that they may yet get toghe before it is too late. E. Ridley is vigorously pushing his candidacy for councilman from the Fifth ward and if hard work will accomplish anything Ridley and his friends will eventually line things up in his ballwick. There is quite a sentiment being crtized at this time that a special effort There is no doubt that her visit here has created a much stronger seniment than ever against the joints and in as much as she has enlisted much sympathy the people may expect to her of interesting news from these parts at any time. She has announced her intention of remaing in the capital city until the joints are all driven from it. An a n u c e i n o u l s cor p e n d e d the color d people of Tuppeka in meet meeting on last Thursday evening and d nounced in strong but mode at lea nge language, the recent outrage at Leaven worth and petitioned the Governor to of fer a reward for the prosecution of the men who dealt summarily with Alexander. The meeting was well tended and the colored men of this city showed by their presence and approval of what was said that they are determined to do what they can to bring to justice the law breakers which have dragged down in degrage the fair name of the great state of Kansas. Governor Stanley's refusal to offer a reward for the murderers of Alexander at Leavenworth is the occasion for much unfavorable comment among the colored people at present. They claim that it is not his province to presume as to whether it will do any good or not, but that he should show his good faith and offer it whether any one ever tries for it or not. The legislature is grinding slowly, they are holding only half day sessions this week, the various committees are at work on bills which have been referred, about next week they will resume full day sessions and before adjournment will be holding night sessions. Several of the Janitors under the Leeville administration have claims before the Ways and Means committee for extra time for which they were not paid two years ago. CITY POLITICS Since last issue death has removed one of the prominent candidates for May and the situation at this time is changed to some extent, the race will undoubtedly be between Col. J. W. F. hughes and G. J. Warner, both of these gentlemen are members of the present city council and are well-known business men of this city as soon as the committee of the Law and Order people endorse one or the other of these men, it is thought that the Liberal element will line up for the other and then what promises to be the most fiercely contested election for the republic Kansas City, Kansas.

The situation as far as the colored man is concerned has not materially changed there is still unfortunately some wrangling and it is a drimental. It is not however beyond the range of possibilities it that they may yet get togne her before it is too late. E. Ridley is vigorously pushing his candidacy for councilman from the Fifth ward and if hard work will accomplish anything Ridley and his friends will eventually line things up in his ballwick There is quite a sentiment being cultized at this time that a special effort will be made by the leading colored men and women to support 19 candidates who are in sympathy with the enforcement of all laws, meetings are being held and lawlessness in all forms is being denounced it has been frequently charged that the colored vote censuservice crime and that they always live up against morality and law and order more especially in municipal elections that even the ministry fail to take a stand for enforcement, most of the leading clorped people of the Capital City say that they have become tired of this being hurled in their faces and consequently the effort to line up the black phalans for Law and Order.

Baker a man who needs no introduction to the public and more especially to the 2nd ward Citizens, is before the people asking their suffe for the election of Councilman for the 2nd ward Mr. Baker is a member of the Baker Titanoid Paning Company and will if elected fill with credit to his constituencies the office of councilman Mr. Baker is no stranger within our ranks and is eminently qualified to discharge the duties imposed upon him if nominated and elected. We have known him for years and have always known him to be the same respectable gentleman, true to his friends and loyal to party. He is rapidly gaining ground and indications never were more favorable for his nomination and election in the 2nd ward. A RELIAB. E FIRM We call the special attention to the old reliable—Bannett & Co., of 609 Minn. one of the best firms in the city. A firm that should receive the patronage of all. The establishment promises to be one of the greatest and largest in the city and deservedly so, for their treatment of the Public cannot be excelled. Almost any thing in the Dry Good line can be found as well as small articles of Hard ware. You can always be sure of getting your money's worth when you trade with them. So remember and give patronage to them. The Sunflower store 609 Minn. are two doors from the Post office. THE EVENT OF THE CENTURY. Booker T. Washington's Topic at the Massachusetts Club. Boston. I cannot begin my remarks without first referring to the death of one of Massachusetts' great men—Ex Gov Wolcott, whose disease all of Massachussetts a d the country is called upon to mourn most deeply. He was my personal friend and friend of my race on all oceans on. He was too great to be little too broad, high and cultivated not to include in his sympathies and acti ve help, all classes and conditions of men. In the larger sense, such men as Gov. Wolcott do not die, but their spirit and example remain with us to guide and comfort future generations it is the life and spirit of such men as Gov. Wolcott that makes the celebration of Forefather's Day a sacred and inspiring occasion. In all that was purst and highest, he represented it to me too to fathers. You ask me to say a word on the event of the century. To my mind the appearance of Abraham Linou himself, and the Emancipation Proclamation, is the greatest event of the century. My first acquaintance with our hero and hesefactor is this Night after night, bofote the dawn of day, on an old slave plantation in Virginia, I recall the form of my sainted mother, beheading over a batch of rags that enveloped my body, on a dirt floor, breathing a fervent prayer to Heaven that "Mara Lincoln" might succeed, and that one day she and I might be free. Be it far from me to revive the bitter memories of the past, nor would I harrow the work of Abraham Lincoln to the black race of this country—rather I would call him the Emancipator of America—the librator of the white man South, the one who in unshakeable chains of she Negro, has turned loose the enslaved forces of nature in the South, and has unit all sections of our country together by the indissoluble bonds of commerce. To the man in the North who cherished hatred against the South, Lincoln brought freedom. To the white man who landed at Jamestown years ago, with hopes as bright and prospects as cheering as those who stepped ashore on Pymuth Rock, Lincoln for the first time gave an opportunity to breathe the air of unfettered freedom—a freedom from dependence on others' labor, to the independence of self-labor, freedom to transform unused and dwaded hands in skilled and productive hand; to change labor from drudgery into that which is dignified and glorified, to change local commerce into trade with the world, to change the negro from an ignorant man to an intelligent man: to change sympathies that were local and narrow, into love and good will for all mankind—freedom to change stagnation into growth, weaken as into power; to see us all, your race and mine, Lincoln has a great emancipator. Even the treasures of nature in our South land, that seemed to hide themselves from the hand of man, have felt the inspiring hand of freedom—and coal, and iron, and marble have leaped forth, and where once was the overseer’s lash steam and electricity make go the shop the factory and the furnace. But all is not done, and it remains for us, the living, to finish the work that Lincoln left uncompleted. You of the great and prosperous North, still owe a serious and uncompleted duty to your less fortunate brothers of the South, who suffered and are still suffering the con- sequences of America. Let me give an example of the highest emancipation which has taken place during the century. In 1840 one of my race was sold from Virginia into Georgia. After serving his master in slavery for twenty years, seeing his children sold, his wife subjected to the lash and other hardships, at the command of Lincoln he became a free man. Conditions reversed themselves. By industry and economy the ex-slave secures a comfortable home, educates and trains his children among all the industrial lines he becomes prosperous and in depend at. In the meantime, his former master and mistress grow infirm, have reverses, going down till poverty and want are reached. The black man, the ex-slave, hears on the condition of his former owners, and at great expense and inconvenience, finds his way to them. Grasping them by the hand, he lets them know that the past is forgotten, tells them of his prosperity and future hopes. This black man brings his former owners to his own home, builds for them a neat cottage, nurses them feeds them' warms, and protects, and choirs them into happiness and contentment. This, my friends, is an ex of the true emancipation; let white men North and South, strive to match it, to avoid it. This is the new emanipulation we seek to bring about at. Tuskegee; to emanipate the white man to love the Negro to emancipate the Negro to love the white man; to emancipate the Negro into habits of thrift, skill, economy and substantial character; to teach the Ne- gro if another man is little, he can be great; if another man is mean, he can be good; if others hold malice, he can cultivate clarity. Thus rising day by day in stepping on our selves, we hope tohope the bla ked the white man bring about that huge that higher emancipation, which we hope in the incoming century will be moremarked than in the present. Lincoln began the work You and I will carry it to completon. THE WOMEN IN THE FRAY. The colored women in this Campaign are worthy of much praise for the efforts they are putting forth for justice and 1 right. The greatest stress is laid upon them, and no stone is left unturned by the Candidates for whom they can vote. Al Baker the candidate for Councils man in the 2nd ward takes the lead in having the greatest number of women workers whose earnestness will befelt on Feb. 12th for he will undoubtedly be the next councilman from that ward. Gao. Bemarkt the people's candidate for mayo is a close second, he has a number of active worker who are letting no grass grow under their feet—Prominent among workers may be mentioned—Mrs. Jas, Gross, Mrs. Ralph Johnson, Mrs. Lulu Johnson, Mrs. Mary Lewis and Sarah Bawkins with a host of others. DO THEY PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH. We listened with profound interest to the forceable, logical and flowery expostulations of our race leaders in the public mass meeting at the Fifth street Opera House. Wednes day night of last week and as each one stepped upon the platform. We could not restrain ourselves from asking him the question—Do you practice what you preach? For thirteen long years we have been preaching just the very same doctrine as was propounded by each one of the Speakers yet the encouragement we have received in a financial way would scarcely be enough to care for a reasonable sized family, one week. When you come to size up the matter the whorlrace is wrong. If we are to look upon men as leaders on occasions li to this they must be men that practice what they preach in every sense of the word. The Nehgro has many polished, "Wind bags" in the race that can say nice things about what the race ought to do and all these things—but when it comes down to the Real thing they are not there. In the scales of real worth, they are weighed and found wanting. When there is lack of due appreciation and patronage of already established business institutions. Why resolve as it were to do nothing. From time unkown up to the present time Negroes have been known to hold meetings and Resolve and do nothing (with no insinuations on the Speakers) those that usually holler the loudest at the less and are often the last people to contribute one cent to help build up institutions that will give the idle hands of the youth something to do, and greatly lessen the crimes which are charge up to the race what is the use of always holding up to light the vices of the race and never contribute on thing but "Hot air" to better their condition, Leaders should first put into practice a few things, then holler loud and long. The Colorado Statesman of Denver Color, announces that for the month of February it will allow the Negro ministers of Denver to edit that organ allowing one minister for issue. There ought to be some "Hot stuff" in each issue, since the major portion of ministers have such exalted opinions of how a newspaper should be edited we will await the coming bf of the first issue with pleasure. England merry old England is bowed down in sorrow, at lost of their Queen, the good, the great, the only Victoria. Well might they be sad Rulers will come and go but time will never bring another Victoria. She has kept the faith, made a glowing record and gone to receive her reward. Sixty three years a ruler, a record that it is safe to say will never be equaled in point of service in the civilized world.

A recent German invention is armored glass, or glass cast with wire gauze inclosed in their substance, so as to increase the resistance to pressure, shock, and the effects of heat. Tests of the new material have been made at the Chemnitz technological museum which show that the armored glass is much stronger, and where the ordinary glass broke under sudden applications of pressure the strengthened material only cracked, and the cracks caused by changes of temperature did not allow either damp or flame to pass. publication Notice.

These people are citizens of Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Elmira, Binghamton and the travelers to Boston and Philadelphia have their homes in these cities.

Nothing Personal Intended. When Lady Blessington sent D'Orsay to complain of some delay on the part of her publishers, Otley & Saunders, he used very high language. A dignified man in a high, white neckloth, who w' listening to him, said: "Count D'Orsay. I would sooner lose Lady Blessington's patronage than submit to such personal abuse." "There was nothing personal," said the count; "if you are Otley, then damn Saunders; if you are Saunders, then damn Otley." Ancient Manuscript Heliloom Ancient Manuscript Heilooms John Beutler of Wapakoneta, Ohio, has manuscripts and books that have been handed down from father to son since the ninth and sixteenth centuries. He has original manuscripts of the code of Justinian the Great, emperor of Rome, written in the latter part of the fifth century. He also has original manuscripts of the annals of C. Corne- llus Tacitus, the Roman historian, writ- ten in Greek, about the middle of the ninth century. The Famous "Passion Play" Already arrangements are being made by the tourist agents to conduct parties to Oberammergau this year, the famous "Passion Play" having been fixed to commence on April 24. It will last as usual, till the end of September. Since 1633, with only slight remodeling, this mystery or miracle performance has been performed by village peasants in the Bavarian highlands every ten years. Old-Time Surgery. A grim souvenir of an old-time war was on view in a cutter's window in the east end of London recently. It is an ebony-handled saw, which, according to the inscription on a brass plate attached to the instrument, was used by a surgeon of the British army to amputate the limbs of wounded soldiers at Blenheim, Malpaquet and Ramallies. Banner Illinois Corn Counties Very few people, pechaps, are aware of the fact that in the counties of Coles, Douglas and Moultrie, in Illinois, three-fourths of all the broom corn used in the world is produced. The amount used in the whole world is 35,000 tons, of which 27,000 tons are grown in these counties. Too Good a Target. Hitherto the regiments of the Highland Brigade which have worn the kilt have presented an admirable mark for bullets by reason of the dark tartan of which the national costume is made. Orders have been now issued that all Highland corps are in future to wear a khaki apron in front. First Insane Indian. Mrs. Blue Sky, the Indian woman who was recently sent to the insane hospital at Fergus Falls, is the first Indian woman in Minnesota to be placed in an institution of that kind, says the Detroit Tribune. The woman's mind during the trip to Fergus Falls was occupied with associations most dear to the Indian. She talked in Chippewa of trapping and of the woods. Her mind dwelt on such matters during most of the journey. Mrs. Blue Sky is a sister of John Bearcrease. TRADE MARK. REGISTERED 1892. U.S.PATENT OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C.

Again he spoke and more earnestly the words of passion poured forth un- til she could no longer resist, when suddenly the incongruous position of both struck her taney, and unable to control her risibilities, she emitted a peal of laughter which caused the stranger to shrink back with an ex- pression of pain at her seeming care- lessness of his feelings, But as she quickly and roguishly exclaimed: “Way, I do not even know your name,” he caught the infection and joined heartily in her laugh. ‘Well, call me Frank, until you know mo better," he sald, and then resuming his seriousness, he pleaded for her love until she was fain to sub- mit as he drew her slightly resisting form to him, tenderly raising her face to his she succumbed.

NATION'S DISCIPLES Husbands of Crusaders Assist them in the Work, Cash Registers Broken, Mirrors Smashed, Glassware Demolished and Liquor Spilled, Making the Wreckage of two Places Complete. Early Wednesday morning, before many had reached their places of business, ten or twelve women of the Anthony, Kan., W. C. T. U., armed with hammers, hatchets and pickaxes, raided and demolished four saisons in Anthony. Husbands of the women went along armed to protect their wives. The first place raided was a drug store, which was forcibly entered from the rear. It contained costly bar fixtures, and the women smashed everything in sight. The cash register was demolished to the hearth where the women to other women the wreckers overlooked the bulk of the liquors, destroying only that which was in sight. Half a block further was the second saloon. The women found it locked, but the ax was used and the whole glass front was smashed to the wreckers' work surface complete. The wreckers work great plate glass mirror and everything pertaining to the sale of liquor was destroyed beyond further use. While the wreckers were at work the proprietor and endeavored to interfere. The husband of one of the women struck him over the head with the plate glass mirror and open. The women then raided two other saloons without interference. Among the raiders were two or three school girls not yet of age, who did some of the most effective smashing. A greater part of the destruction was done before the police or mayor knew it was going on. The occasion has caused a division in the townpeople and more trouble is probable. The actual damage done to personal property aside from the liquor destroyed has been carefully estimated by the riders and they claim it is about $1,500. About six weeks ago a Mrs. Sheriff of Danville, a small town in Harper county, smashed a joint in that village and it is from this woman that Mrs. Nation got her idea of smashing the saloons. Mrs. Sheriff came to Anthony, organized the local women and planned the crusade. Mrs. Sheriff is a red-faced Irish woman and many of the people in Anthony were smashing the women, she was the only woman in the crowd who seemed to be a stranger. The saloonkeepers of Anthony each have a wareroom in different parts of town where a reserve stock of liquor is kept, but the women did not know this. Mrs. Sheriff claims to be the minister of the Nation crusade in Kansas. FOR A N W STAR. Oklahoma Statehood Convention Makes Formal Petition. The Oklahoma statehood convention held at Guthrie Wednesday was well attended, delegates be present from every county in the territory. The following resolution was unanimously adopted. "We earnestly urge upon the Congress of the United States to pass an enabling act at the earliest possible moment providing for the admission of Oklahoma with such boundaries as congress in its wisdom may see fit to establish." A Counter Crusade. At a private meeting of business men held at Wichita, Kan., a suggestion was made that may solve the problem of how to meet the crusade started by Mrs. Nation. The suggestion is to open a counter crusade against the prohibitory law and immediately ask the legislature now in session to reshape the law to a vote of the people. This, it is thought, would open up the question of saloons or no saloons in Kansas for legitimate discussion, out of hatchets and stove shakers. Wichita business men think the time has been made ripe by the action of Mrs. Nation and the Anthony crusaders for the legislature to take action on the question of resubmission. End of New York Home Rule The New York city police bill passed the senate. This is the bill providing for a single headed police commission.

FOUR CHINESE HEADS TO FALL. The Powers have Decided that Prince Tuan is too Strong to Suffer. While vigorously opposing a death sentence on Prince Tuan and General Hu Ishang, Mr. Conger, with the approval of the United States, has agreed to the decapitation of four ringleaders in the Chinese outrages of last summer. Two of these are Prince Tuan, coonman of the boxers, and Hu Yelen who was removed by the empress dowager from the post of governor of Shansi. It is understood that before agreeing to put to death the four officials the authorities ascertained that the Chinese government would be able to comply with such a demand. The case of General Tung Tuan Hsising, whom consuls considered at an army, is different. Surrounded by an army, devoted to him, he would resist an attempt to capture him and civil war would be precipitated. The strong position of Prince Tuan also makes decapitation impossible in his case. BAD CONDITIONS IN CHINA Troops of the Allies are Suffering from Crime and Disease. A dispatch to the Cologne (Germany) Volkseizitung from China relates alarming details about the warfare in that country and says: "We hope the awful conditions will soon cease. The depravity and bestiality also among our troops is enormously upon the increase. Large numbers of old soldiers are sentenced to long terms in the penitentiary and jail for murder, assault or burglary. We are not sure how the way than by death. Diseases are still rampant, especially typhus. Dysentery is rampant, especially typhus Dysentery is decreasing. During November there were nine deaths from disease among soldiers in Pao Ting Fulone and also two from powder explosions. One magazine containing 450,000 pounds of powder was blown up, but only one man was killed and three men were wounded." EXTRA SESSION A CERTAINTY. McKinley gives his Friends to Understand that one will be Called President McKinley said to several callers that the only question remaining undecided was whether he would issue the call for an extra session of Congress before or after his second term begins, March 4. The action of the supreme court in announcing that it will take a recess until February 11, when it will meet to hand down decisions and adjourn for another two weeks, is construed to indicate an ex- session of Congress. Mr. McKinley to the Overseas Friends that an extra session would be necessary for Philippine legislation, no matter what the decision of the supreme court may be.

They elected a local president, Mrs.umentil, and a secretary, Mrs.William Fisher, to take charge of the crusade while Mrs. Nation is absent. They made a promise to rid Topeka of joints even if it were necessary to resort to Mrs. Nation's methods of destruction. They promised to follow her. May send the Boers to India.

HE WOULD GIVE THEM LIBERTY. Speech Abounded in Apostrophes to Liberty. - Scatching and Scornful Arraignment of Administration's Polloy in Philippines - Ten Minutes Senator Towne, of Minnesota, who is in office to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Davis, delivered his promised Filipino speech in the Senate Monday morning. Mr. Towne will be remembered as the Populist and Free Silver candidate for the vice presidency, who withdrew in favor of Adalian Stevenson. In opening his address Mr. Towne referred to the petition presented to the Senate a few days ago from 2.006 Filipinos for a cessation of hostilities and for the granting of independence to the people of the Philippines. He maintained that it would "prove a quickening appeal for an aspirant spirit or its rejection must dedicate the Twentieth century to a reaction prejudicial, if not fatal, to free institutions." While discussing events which led the United States forces to the Philippines, Mr. Towne referred with particularity to the charge that Aguinaldo had sold his country to the Spaniards for a bribe. He declared the accusation was "gratuitous in its calumny, when we considered the official publications of our own government contradict and destroy it." The senator declared that we "were alliance with theilippines, alliance sought, alliance killed by us our own advantage and finally, to our everlasting shame in the estimation of honorable men, repudiated by us when we found it no longer necessary and when the lust of empire had so blunted our moral sensibilities that we could mount from an act of perfidy to the grand larceny of a nation. He held that it was better to trade liberty to the Filipinos for security to the United States in the islands than to force "a sullen unwillingness into slavish compliance with some of our customs," by the employment of an army of 100,000 men. It was a habit of the defenders of the administration policy to sneer at the term "imperialism" he said, but it could not be sneered at. "You can have imperialism without an emperor, just as the Romans found that they could have a more than royal master, though he did not wear the nated name of king," asserted Mr. Towne. "The retention of the Philippines will commit us to the whole programme of empire. There is a law among nations, as Hamlet says there is among men, by which a bad appetite grows by what it feeds on. On nation in history has resisted it, and to every nation that has yielded to it we must dislike it. We are with all the lessons of history before us to prove the next victim of this insatiable passion, the greatest, most lamentable, most gratious sacrifice in all human traced? "I do not wish to convey the impression that in my opinion the present policy will at one fell swoop convert this republic into an empire in fact. But I do say that the seeds of empire lurk in this policy, and that time and favoring environment will, and must, bring them to their flower and fruit unless we make a reasonable promise." "God speed the day when the American people, whose annals blaze with records of unequaled heroism and who again and always if some great cause demand, would freely pay with life itself, the price of its defense, shall have the moral courage to do their civic duty—a rarer thing than to face undaunted the cannon's mouth—and with their sovereign voice declare that this unholy war for greed and empire shall be stopped, and that no soldier of the United States shall have his history be sent to other hands to war on people fighting for their liberty." Ten minutes after Mr. Towne's speech the credentials of Mr. Clapp, his successor, were presented, and Mr. Towne retired from the Senate.

Armour disposes of an estate valued at $15,000,000, according to statements made in an application for letters testamentary by Malvina B. Armour, widow, and J. Ogden Armour, son. Mrs. Armour and J. Ogden Armour are made executrix and executor and are named as legatees, each receiving one-half of the estate. Of the testator's wealth $14,900,000 is in personal property and $100,000 in reality. P. D. Armour and Lester Armour, grandchildren of the testator by his son, P. D. Armour, Jr., who died in California a year ago, are not made legatees directly in the will, but are given legatees upon the legatees." It is provided these "charges" that upon attaining the age of 25 years each of the grandchildren shall receive $1,000,000, half of this from Malvina B. Armour, their grandmother, and half from J. Ogden Armour, their uncle. At 30 years of age each is to receive a similar amount from grandmother and uncle. They are to attend the ages mentioned each of them, an aggregate of $2,000,000 from the estate. As a reason for not leaving his grandchildren more, the writer of the will explains that their father, during his life, had already received nearly all of his share in the estate. To this the children and their mother are. The executrix and executor are given free to manage the estate without bond. Armour institute, Mr. Armour's pet project, which he fostered with a lavish hand during life, is not mentioned in the will, but it is regarded as certain that provision was made for it before its patron died. A codicil to the will under date of Pasadena, Cal. February 12, 1900, proves that the executrix and executor shall be appointed responsible to for their handling of the estate and otherwise emphasizes the entire independence of the legatees in dealing with the property which falls from him to them.

Attitude of hitherto irreconcilable press and general public show that labors of party to bring peace will soon be crowned with success. Until now political parties have attempted formation on plans more or less questioning American sovereignty.

On our platform are grouped many Filipinos of hitherto irreconcilable ideas, but for them more obstinate decline to join, for them more objection to accept sovereignty of the United States of India of indefinite continuance of military government makes them distrust purposes of the United States and delays their submission. "Adjournment of present Congress without giving President authority to establish a purely civil government with powers and postponement for at least a year of such government until new Congress will certainly confirm this distrust. Directory of the Federal party believes conferring such authority on President would inspire confidence, and as the acceptance of sovereignty of union and coming of new Congress, both houses of Congress to authorize President McKinley to establish civil government whenever he believes it opportunity—Frank H.

WHY IRELAND WON'T MOURN Redmond Says Victoria's Reign Was Disastrous to the Irish. John Redmond, leader of the United Irish party, speaking at Wexford, said: "All the world assembled in London, not in triumph, but in sorrow around the tie of her who to English people at least will live in history as a great constitutional sovereign. But Ireland was absent. Ireland, of all her empire, stood apart, suffered and dissatisfied. Ask your English rulers why, in the face of the civil war of heart and cold of nature; it is not because of any want of respect for the personal virtues of the lady from whose weary hand the scepter of power is snatched by death. "It is because the reign which is just closed has been to Ireland and all the Irish race more disastrous than any reign in 300 years. During this reign a million and a half of our people have perished by famine; 5,000,000 have emigrated to other lands. Unlikely to be unheard in the march have been forty coercion depriving Ireland of her constitution rights.

At a meeting of the United Irish-American society in New York, sixty-eight organizations being present, the following resolutions were adopted unanimously: "The population of Ireland, a land flowing with milk and honey and capable, according to the best authorities, of supporting more than 20,000,000 of people in ease and comfort, has been reduced from more than 8,500,000 to less than 4,500,000 of people; the actual number of Irish people who have died of starvation in the midst of plenty during Queen Victoria's reign more than 1,250,000; more than 4,000,000 people, according to the same authority, have been compelled to emigrate from Ireland to foreign countries; the manufacturing industries for the country have been steadily discouraged and, as far as possible, stamped out. "Everything which could be done to impoverish and depopulate the country—to root out the people from their native soil and drive them to seek other homes in allen towns; to treat their spirit and make them slaves and coasters that dome under victoria's reign and with her full connivance and consent. "We denounce the reign of Victoria as one long act of bloodshed, murder, cruelty and cant, and insist that when its history is truly written and the influence o. snobbery, flunkeyism and cruelty upon us, we back upon a one in which English wealth and power both properly passed their zenith and began a rapid and permanent decline—as one in which, despite the material progress made by England in the earlier and middle part thereof, greater injustice, and more grosser opposing, were inflicted upon their native in by upon the Irish in particular, than in the reign of any other English monarch."
