The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX VOL. V. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, ADLAI E. STEVENSON OF ILLINOIS. UNITED STATES SENATOR PRITCHARD OF NORTH CAROLINA. The Negro Press published in the interest of the Republican party have set up a long wail and howl against Senator B. R. Tillman and the position which he has assumed in refference to the Negro. But not one of these befuddled headed and crack-brained editors have had one word to say against United States Senator Pritchard of North Carolina, who is a red-hot Republican. A big leader of his party and who seems to be boiling all over owing to the fact that "the nigger question" as he calls it is dead in North Carolina. In an interview with Senator Pritchard which appeared in the public press recently the eminent North Carolina Senator gave expressions to these ideas: "The people of the North do not understand the nature of the revolution that is going on in our section. We have adopted a constitutional amendment in North Carolina which practically eliminates the Negro question from politics, Frankly, the Negro question, or the 'nigger question' as we always call it in the South is the only thing that has prevented North Carolina from being a Republican state. There are other states in the South that would be Republican were the Negro domination bugaboos removed. "For years the intelligent and progressive men of my state have chafed under the restraint of this nigger goblin. It has prevented them taking side rationally and according to their judgement and interest upon national questions. They have been compelled to refrain from voting the Republican ticket as its success would mean Negr domination. Their sympathies and their interests lie with the Republican party, and they now say that they are emancipated from the thrall of the nigger problem." Does not this prove that the leaders of the Republican part in the North and the South have come to the conclusion that the Negro is a dead weight and a load-stone around their necks and that they are now engaged and have been for some time past conspiring secretly to throw or cast him overboard into the political waters and Senator Pritchard, Governor Theodore Roosevelt and many other prominent Republicans are the prime movers and the leading actors in this drama, and it seems to us that it is about time that the Negro should permit the scales to fall from his eyes so that he can realize his political condition. For if he does not do so soon all will be lost politically and he will find himself nothing more than the foot-ball of the Republican party. The remedy, my brothern, for these existing evils are in your own hands and you can remedy them whenever you make up your mind not to permit anyone to know how you intend to vote by the color of your skin. Brother Conservator, please copy, and tell us how you like Senator Pritchard and his utterances respecting the Negro, and if you like them why do you not hollow and shout for him? And if you do not like them, why do you remain silent? Are you a cringing sycophant; a coward or knave? In the death of Gen. John M. Palmer at Springfield, Ill., the 1st of the week, humanity the weak and the lowly and the Negro race lost one of its greatest advocates and champions. Gen. Palmer from his earliest days, imbibed Democratic ideas and belonged to the great party of Jefferson. Therefore the color of a person's skin cut no figure with him. It has been our honor and pleasure not only to converse with him but also to lunch with him and his, family and it was an interesting treat to do so. He always delighted to relate the efforts which he put forth for the purpose of securing for the Negro his civil and political rights. His death is a great loss to the race. XXXII. Every Negro who loves his race and his fellow-men is proud of the gallant and wonderful achievements of the Twenty-fourth regiment and the other Negro troops who were engaged in the memorable and bloody contest at San Juan Hill and El Caney. But we must remember that the Rev. Allen Allensworth, the present chaplain of the Twenty-fourth regiment received his commission from the hands of President Cleveland. Doctor D. H. Williams, of Chicago, was chosen by President Cleveland as chief surgeon of the Freedman's hospital. The first Negro clerk, foreman of work and pressman to be employed and put to work in the government printing office were named and assigned to duty by Public Printer Thomas E. Benedict, who was a Democrat of the first water. Many other instances could be referred to showing that many other colored men were appointed to good positions by President Cleveland. In 1884 the Hon. J. C. Matthews of Albany, New York espoused the cause of Democracy, and in 1895 he was nominated and elected by the Democratic party as judge of the Recorder's court of the city of Albany, which office carries with it powers of supreme court judge. He received over 2,000 more votes than his white Republican opponent and it is the highest judicial office ever held by an Afro-American in this country. Mr. Matthews was re-elected last year by the same Democratic party. These self evident truths and facts ought to be sufficient to convince the most doubtful that the leaders of the Democratic party in many sections of the country are perfectly willing to elect Negroes of ability to the highest positions within the gifts of the people, that they do not nominate colored men for office like some of the Republicans do and then turn around and refuse to support them. Moreover, in the case of Mr. Matthews, ought to cause the Negroes everywhere to stop and propound this question to themselves. Have we not closed our eyes and ears for many years and permitted the leaders of the Republican party to interject into our minds many false ideas pertaining to the Democratic party and its leaders. In 1887, Frederick Douglass gave expression to these sentiments in a speech delivered before the commercial club of Boston, Mass., "while I am a Republican, but I am free to say that President Cleveland so far has been the only President of the United States who has had the courage to invite a colored man to a reception at the White House," that he himself had the honor of being present and had received the highest and kindest consideration from President and Mrs. Cleveland. Rev. A. J. Carey and Ed Morris, who runs a cheap law shop on Clark street preached a political sermon at Quinn Chapel last Sunday. They had the colored Republican marching club with banners, flags and the band all in the pulpit and church, and a lot of the fellows belonging to the legion or club are crap shooters and other cheap sports. It is said that beasts of prey and birds of the same plumage always flock together; then this proves that Deacon Ed. Morris and dead game sport Rev. A. J. Carey delight to embrace and associate with the tough characters who frequent the gambling dens. --- Our esteemed friend, Attorney Frederick W. Job, has recently been appointed consular representative of the Dominican Republic, in this city. The commission for which from Snor Juan I. Ziminez, president of the Dominican Republic, and exequatur issued by President McKinley have been received by Mr. Job and the consulate headquarters are located at suite 832 Marquette building. Mr. Job is well qualified to discharge this honor. Miss C. Lewis, teacher in the Lemoyen institute, Memphis, Tenn., paid a short visit to her former school mate Mrs. S. A. T. Watkins and she returned to resume her duties in the institute Thursday night. HEW TO THE LINE. Thomas Byrne Esq., the head warhorse of Democracy of the Town of Lake, and more especially the 30th ward has returned with his family from Europe and the Continent, where they spent two months in visiting the Paris Exposition and other places of interest. Mr. Byrne and the others of the party had an enjoyable trip and they returned home much benefitted from it and from now out Mr. Byrne will leave no stone unturned to further the election of Samuel Alschuler and the entire state and county tickets and Col. W. J. Bryan. A joint meeting of all the women's clubs will be held at the Institutional church, Monday afternoon, Oct. 1st at 2 o'clock. Ladies please be prompt. AN INTERESTING PROGRAM.

Their members and friends at the regular monthly meeting of the club at the residence of Mrs. Grace Livrann, 5307 Lake ayeune, Wednesday evening. An excellent musical pprogram was rendered. The women of the club have earned the hearty appreciation they receive for the excellent work they are doing in the neighborhood. --- Friday night a large meeting was held at the ChicagoAmerican Bryan club rooms, 5551 Wentworth avenue, and it was addressed by its president, Geo. A. Huff, who paid a fine tribute to John J. Feely candidate for Congress, Second District, who in turn showered roses upon Mr. Huff and at the same time delivered a very able speech on the live issue of the campaign. Hon. M. J. Butler, the next State Senator, Hon. Geo. G. Brennan and several others were called upon and responded by delivering excellent and very timely speeches. ```markdown ``` CHIPS Mrs. McClain and her two charming little ones, who have been the guests of her cousin, Mrs. S. Paul for the past month, returned to their home at Philadelphia Saturday. Dr. Julia Holmes Smith will address the Henry George association at Handel hall, 40 East Randolph street, Sunday afternoon on "America's Indebtedness to Ireland." Dr. Smith is an interesting speaker and her lecture was highly enjoyed by all. Al Gorman, the best supervisor of the Town of Lake is so busy in looking after the interest of the tax payers and in talking for Democracy that he cannot find the time to prominade up and down the boulevard with his best girl. "One of McKinley's rules," says the Freeman, is:: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist except as a punishment for crime." But what's the matter with the Sulus? They are people, and are under the "flag," but they are also slaves. The address of Louis F. Post, editor of The Public, on "Democracy and the Negro." delivered at Handel hall, 40 East Randolph street, Sunday past, was exceedingly interesting and instructive and we hope Mr. Post will in the near future repeat it before a colored audience. Mrs. P. Waymann, 4909 Dearborn street had the misfortune to accidently slip on a State street pavement last week and sustain a rather serious injury to her ankle, from the effects of which she has been confined to her home. But she is now rapidly recovering under the skillful treatment of Dr. Joseph Jeffrey. The St. Joseph Radical, published in Missouri, says, and we agree with it, that if Negroes would take as mush pride in contributing money to build industrial schools for their children as they do in stinting themselves to erect fine church edifices with pipe organs. Brussels carpet, stained glass windows and opera chairs, the race would be immeasurable better off.—Ex. Thomas Vaughn who has charge of the town of Lake High School building knows a trick or two about politics and while Mr. Vaughn, does not claim to be as handsome as some of the other statesmen and politicians of the 30th ward or the town of Lake. Nevertheless he has forwarded his check in payment of one year's subscription to The Broad Ax. The Missionary Tea given by the Mite Missionary society at the residence of Rev. Tillman of Englewood, was a most enjoyable affair last Thursday afternoon. The hours were from 2 to 4 p.m. Mrs. L. A. Davis told the members of the work of the N. A. C. W., and the value of organized effort on the part of the club women of the state. Mrs. Katherine Davis Tillman and Mrs. Spencer powered. Wednesday night the Wattia League club rooms were filled with those who come to attend the district meeting. It was addressed by Attorney Will B. Moak, Ex-Alderman J. J. McCarthy, who has always been a Republican, Lawyer Vanderpool, Enos Bond, Geo W. Downey, E.M.Cummings, and Julius F. Taylor. District Chairman Melville G. Holding presided and seemed to be well pleased with the meeting and with the outlook for the success of the party. Congressman Wm. Lorimer, opened up his Congressional campaign in the 30th ward at Oswald garden 52d and Halsted streets, last Saturday night, an immense concourse of people were present and they were addressed by the present Congressman, Governor John R Tanner, Dr. G. W. Bryant and others. It is said that Congressman Lorimore has taped his barrel and will spend $20,000 in order to retain his seat in Congress. He believes in proceeding upon the theory that money makes the mare go. The high tea given at Mr. and Mrs. R. I. Collins, 5321 Armour avenue, Thursday night was a marked success in every way. A neat sum was realized for the rebuilding of Bethesda church. The program of the evening was of a high order. Mrs. Eliza Harris sang several fine solos. Mrs. Kealing sang and rendered piano selections. Dr. Joseph Jeffrey made an excellent talk on "The Rebuilding of the Temple." Mrs. Emogene Taylor NO. 49. recited. Mrs. L. A. Davis talked interestingly on "The Aims and objects of the Phyllis Whealy club," and invited the large number of ladies present to attend its meetings. The program was highly appreciated by those present Miss Johnson who is employed by Siegle-Cooper & Co., had charge of the program and in very appropriate words complimented those who participated in it. REWARD. Anyone who can give information as to the whereabouts of Adam Horn (colored) who when last heard of was working at the barber trade in this city will be suitably rewarded by Mrs. Sarah Robinson, No. 2 Rector court, Charleston, S. C. Hats for Lampwicks. Excellent lamp wicks may be made out. of men's soft felt hats, by cutting them into strips the width required, letting them soak a couple of hours in vinegar and drying them. Prominent Family's Reunion. Recently there was held at Salisbury. Mass., a reunion of the Pike family, the first in its history. The family has been represented in New England for nearly 300 years and has given to history several prominent names, including General Z. M. Pike, discoverer of Pike's peak in Colorado, and Albert Pike, lawyer, author and soldier. Clergyman Criticises Newspaper. A clergyman of Howard, Kan., expostulates with a Kansas City paper for reporting some rainmaking experiments, on the ground that such experiments are contrary to the Bible, which declares that "He sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." He says that for man to usurp one of the prerogatives of God is blasphemy. Missouri Prison Statistics Out of a total of 1,923 convicts in the Missouri penitentiary are 768 laborers, 200 farmers, 164 shoemakers, 100 teamsters, 51 waiters, 37 hostlers and 32 railroad men. Only 518 are married and 30 foreign born. There are 227 Protestants, 227 Catholics, and 1,426 who have no religious belief. A. "Fearbered Dog." For months past a man has been coining money by exhibiting in various parts of Kansas a "feathered dog." A reporter went to view the alleged freak. He pulled half a dozen feathers from the dog's back, but the animal never winced. Then it was discovered that the dog had been covered from head to tail with a tight-fitting coat of Canton flannel on which pigeon feathers had been so skillfully sewn as to seem natural. Monument to Great Elector. On the Sparenberg, near Bielefeld, a large and beautiful monument of Frederick William, the great elector of Brandenburg, has been erected and was unveiled last week in the presence of the emperor, the empress and two of their children. A historic procession formed part of the ceremonies. One thousand musicians took part in this great parade. After the unveiling, the emperor planted a tree at the foot of the monument. Young and Mother of Many. One Paris "grand dame" is bound that France shall not be depopulated. The Vicomtesse De Rochemalile is 22 years of age, has been married five years, and is the mother of eleven boys, of whom the eldest is not quite 4 years of age. She presented her husband with four pairs of twins in succession and has just topped off with triplets. The children are all sound and healthy. To Wash Hair Brusher Hair brushes should be washed in hot or tepid water, to which soda or ammonia has been added. The brushes should be dipped in and out of the water till clean, taking care that the backs and handles do not get wet. After rinsing in clear cold water put them in the air to dry; they should never be dried close to the fire or the bristles will become discolored. English Fraud on Java. It has been discovered that thousands of Japanese have been fraudulently converted into British subjects in Vancouver, through the connivance of greedy notaries. They have taken up salmon fishing, and the fishermen' union is urging action on the part of the authorities. Just what the latter can do in regard to the matter is not very clear so far. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the true principles of Democracy, but Farmers, Bethlehem, Protestants, Knights of Labor, Indiana, Mormons, Republicana, Priests, or any one else can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed. The Broad Ax is a newspaper whose platform is broad enough for all, ever claiming the editorial right to speak its own mind. Local communication will have attention; write only on one side of the paper. SUBSCRIPTIONS (a.lvance); One Year..... $2.00 Six Months..... 1.00 Advertising rates made known on application. JULIUS P. TAYLOR, Editor and Publisher. Women do just as much thinking as men, but they dilute their thoughts with unnecessary words. The most valuable pipe in the world is the state pipe of the Shah of Persia. It is set with precious stones, and is worth $400,000. It's tough on the man at a continuous performance theater who wants to go out between the acts; the best he can do is to come in between drinks. A fruit propagator has produced a seedless apple. These new apples are superior in flavor to the ordinary kinds. High prices are being paid for the trees. The weight of all the air on the globs would be eleven and two-thirds trillion pounds, if no deduction had to be made for space filled by mountains and land above sea level. Gout is rarely known among the working classes of Ireland. Their immunity from this complaint is thought to be due to the fact that their food consists largely of potatoes. Each of the large Atlantic liners lays in a supply of 2,500 bottles of wines and spirits, 12,000 bottles of ale and porter, and 6,000 bottles of mineral waters for a trip to the United States and the return voyage. The Danish royal family is spending the present month at the Castle of Fredensborg, which has not been occupied since the visit of Emperor Alexander III. in 1893. Among the visitors expected are Prince Maximilian Bavaria, and the Princess Marie of Cumberland. The castle has room for three hundred persons. There is said to be a serious menace to navigation on the Pacific coast from the practice of rafting logs from the Columbia River to San Francisco. Frequently the rafts are broken up and logs set adrift so large that any of them might stave a hole in a vessel. It is said that congress will be asked next winter to prohibit this rafting. These are in Chicago. The combined plants represent an investment of over $10,000,000. The yards contain twenty miles of streets, twenty miles of water troughs, fifty miles of feeding troughs and seventy-five miles of water and drainage troughs. The yards are capable of receiving and accommodating daily 20,000 cattle, 20,000 sheep and 120,000 hogs. Beds are quite an innovation in Russia, and many well-to-do houses are still unprovided with them. Peasants sleep on the tops of their ovens; middle-class people and servants roll themselves up in sheepskins and lie down near stoves; soldiers rest upon wooden cots without bedding; and it is only within the last few years that students in schools have been allowed beds. Mr. Cecil Rhodes keeps himself in admirable physical form by horseback riding, possessing one of the best stables, though on a miniature scale, that are to be found within the boundaries of Cape Colony. Anecdotes regarding his strength are generally current in South African circles, and in "tugs of war," and wrestling competitions he is one of the best Cape men. Cricket in South Africa undoubtedly owes its prominence and its thorough establishment to Mr. Rhodes' patronage. The natives of Gomera, one of the Canary Isles, converse with one another by whistling on their fingers, and, if you understood these different whistles, you would find it possible to understand a message a mile off. Each syllable of a word has its own peculiar sound. Gomera is cut up by a number of deep glens, which are not bridged over, and, as it would otherwise be impossible for the inhabitants on separate sides of a glen to talk with one another without going a long way round to meet, they have hit upon the whistling device as the best means of communication. The women's clubs of Chicago have opened a model lodging house for women. It is one of the first practical attempts in the city to carry out the plans which social economists have been working in other large towns. The house carries out the idea of omitting charity and affording an honest means of existence. Women do not lodge free in the house, nor are they sent away if they have no money. Work is provided, and the price of a day's lodging is 15 cents, or its equivalent in work. Fifteen organizations are interested in the work, and the women will try to interest the public in establishing such houses in many parts of the city. SECRET CORRESPONDENCE Inks Composed Mainly of Salts and Cobalt Are the Best. Of the many invisible and sympathetic inks that have been used for secret correspondence perhaps the best known are those composed mainly of salts of cobalt. Marks made with these fluids remained invisible until they were subjected to heat, and then were revealed in lines of pale green. The phenomenon was transient and entirely dependent on the temperature. As soon as the sheet of paper grew cool writing would disappear. Now, to those who had occasion to employ such means of communication it was desirable to know whether any one tampered with their letters or not. So long as the fact of the correspondence was kept secret, of course, there would be no danger. But if that once became known the contents of a private letter might be ascertained by anyone through whose hands the letter passed. Cobalt writing can be made to appear and disappear a dozen times without giving the least evidence of having been read. But a patent was recently granted in Germany which meets this difficulty, and in some other respects, also, is an improvement on the old system. In the first place the paper used in soaked in the cobalt solution and is prepared in advance. The inventor aims to put his stationery on the market. The writing is done with a solution of common salt and behaves as the cobalt ink did formerly. It can be seen only when warmed and disappears immediately on cooling. Moreover, it appears as often as heat is applied. Its color is a bluish green. But the German also provides what he calls a "control ink." This may be prepared by adding two grains of resorcin to eight drops of water and six drops of sulphuric acid. When a person has written his letter with salt water he makes a few supplementary remarks, in a spot previously agreed upon, with the control ink. So long as the letter remains cool these test marks are invisible, but when the heat is applied they come out and they come out to stay. They are of a brown hue, different from that of the salt writing, and they will not disappear when the green writing does. If the authorized recipient of a letter finds these marks on a letter before he himself warms it he has reason to suspect that his secret is known. But if they are missing the opposite conclusion is justified. WORLD'S PRODUCT OF COTTON In 1840 the total world's yield of cotton was 1,310,000,000 tons. Of this, the United States produced 878,000,000 tons. The United States uses 600,000 tons of cotton, 270,000 tons of wool and 340,- 000 tons of flax and jute. Great Britain, 710,000 tons of cotton, 230,000 tons of wool, 420,000 tons of flax and jute. Germany, 28,000 tons of cotton, 200,- 000 tons of wool, 10,000 tons of flax and jute. Russia, 190,000 tons of cotton, 110,000 tons of wool. 440,000 tons of flax and jute. The value of the fiber manufactured product of the world in 1896 was $4,-275,000,000. Of Great Britain, $955,000,000. Of United States, $940,000,000. Of France, $575,000,000. Of Germany, $540,000,000. Of Russia, $405,000,000.—Journal of Education. Growth of Philadelphia. As originally laid out by William Penn, the city was two miles long and one mile wide. Township after township was annexed till at last the city boundaries coincided with those of a county twenty-two miles long. Boston overran the old county lines and took in five outlying towns. Greater New York and Chicago now exceed in area and population some European principalities. In each case consolidation has been accomplished by the joint action of the city and suburbs, with legislative authorization. To Entertain Americans The London Chronicle says that the Lord Chief Justice, Justices Kennedy and Phillimore, Sir Edward Carson, Q. C., and Joseph Walton, Q. G., are considering how best to welcome those members of the American bench and bar who are likely to visit England during the season, in recognition of the cordial manner in which the members of the English bench and bar were entertained in America last year on the occasion of the visit of the International Law society, as well as on previous occasions. Queensland is being converted into a large orange orchard. The Australian orange ripens at a time when other countries cannot provide the fruit. SENATOR NELSON LAYS BARE THE AGUINALDO PLOT. Protectorate Plan Advecated Would Violate Our Treaty Pledges and Turn the Islands Over to the Tagal Assassins. Senator Knute Nelson opened the Republican campaign at Alexandria, Minn., September 1 with a masterly speech on the Philippine question, delivered in his usual concise and convincing manner. The town hall was packed to the doors. Senator Nelson held the attention of his audience and at times the applause was deafening. He was at his best. The speech was entitled "The Philippine Question in Its Various Aspects." Senator Nelson opened with this convincing statement: "That our country had good ground for declaring war against Spain and that the war was a just one, fairly and humanely carried on to a most successful, honorable and glorious issue, is conceded by all, and is not a matter of controversy. The American people, without regard to party, are responsible for the war. The bill appropriating $50,000,000 for war preparation and the resolution declaring war were passed by a unanimous vote of both houses." He then rapidly stated the events which led to Dewey's victory and to the advent of Aguinaldo on the islands by the courtesy of Dewey. Suspicion was first directed toward Aguinaldo by General Anderson when on July 18, 1898, he notified the war department: "I suspect also that Aguinaldo is secretly negotiating with the Spanish authorities as his confidential aide is in Manila." On the 24th of the same month Aguinaldo advised General Anderson of the "undesirability of disembarking North American troops in places conquered by the Filipinos without previous notice to this government" (meaning to himself). Review of Events at Manila. Senator Nelson renewed the events of June and July in a rabid manner effectually disproving the time worn and long disproved argument that Dewey entered into an alliance with Aguinaldo. As early as June 9 Aguinaldo is known to have been in secret negotiation with Captain General Augustine, the Spanish commandant at Manila. His idea was an alliance to drive the Americans from the islands. LATER ON A GENERAL MASSACRE OF OUR FORCES AND OF ALL WHITE PEOPLE WITHIN THE CITY WAS CONTEMPLATED. On the 7th of January, 1899, Aguinaldo wrote from Malolos to a friend in Manila, among other things, as follows: "I beg you to leave with your family and to come here to Malolos, but not because I wish to frighten you. I merely wish to warn you for your satisfaction, although it is not yet the day or the week." The Uprising Against Our Flag. Senator Nelson gave full details of the barbarous orders from Theodore Sandico for an uprising in Manila, to be accompanied by the burning and looting of the city and the murder of all foreigners including Chinese. Concluding Senator Nelson said: "I have thus aimed, in this brief but authentic narrative of Aguinaldo and his insurrection, to show you the inception and nature of the Tagal rebellion in Luzon, and the character and purposes of Aguinaldo and his military chiefs. Aguinaldo's Lost for Power. "It is evident that lust of power and self-aggrandizement, rather than the real freedom of the Filipinos, has been the aim and purpose of Aguinaldo and his chiefs from the beginning till the present time. "The insurrection which he and they started in 1896 they abandoned for a price in December, 1897. When war came on with Spain and Dewey was about to start for Manila, they saw an opening and easy way to start another insurrection. To Dewey they professed a desire to aid him in expelling the Spaniards—their hereditary tyrants and oppressors. "Among themselves they planned, through the aid of Dewey and his forces, to enter Luzon, procure arms and start an insurrection, ostensibly against Spain, but really in hostility to the United States. They came to Luzon under false pretenses and with base treachery in their hearts. "They had no sooner landed and gotten their insurrection afloat and armed their forces with weapons, furnished by Dewey, than they began to open negotiations with the Spanish commander, for the purpose of combining with him to expel our forces from Manila. Falling to get this cooperation, they laid siege to Manila for the purpose of capturing and looting it before the arrival of our forces. When our troops finally landed, they received them in an unfriendly and hostile spirit, and continued to harass and annoy them in various ways. And when Manila was captured by our forces, without their co-operation, and they were not permitted to enter and loot the city, they threw off the mask and assumed a belligerent attitude to our forces. They next opened negotiations with Gen. Ries at Iliolo, for the purpose of making common cause, and combining him against our forces, and through his pliancy they secured possession of the city before the arrival of our forces." Survender of Manila. When Manila surrendered and there were no longer any Spaniards to fight, they renewed their siege against the city and our forces with increased vigor. They planned to burn, sack and loot the city, and to strike down and slaughter every living human being in it, except their own people; and two brutal, though abortive, attempts were made to carry out the barbarous and demoniac plan. If we study the records and proceedings of their so-called government, it is apparent that it is nothing but a pure dictatorship—a mere military oligarchy of Aguinaldo and his chiefs (all Chinese Mestizos)—with no basis of choice or consent among the masses. It exists and is tolerated, such as it is, through fear and ignorance. Ignorance of the Americans, their character and system of government; and fear of Aguinaldo, his junta and armed followers. Is it not plain to any unbiased mind, after studying the record of Aguinaldo and his junta ever since the insurrection of 1896, that it is as much our moral duty to relieve the Filipino people from the incubus and tyranny of this military oligarchy as of Spanish rule? It would be a greater misfortune and greater calamity to hand the Filipino people over to the mercies of such a government than to have left them in the hands of the Spaniards. Is it not our moral as well as our legal duty to suppress, first of all, this insurrection, started under such false pretenses, with such treachery and under such auspices and leadership as this Tagal rebellion in Luzon? Bryan Indorsed Administration. We acquired the islands fairly by conquest, ratified and confirmed by a treaty, which had the indorsement of Mr. Bryan. He was at Washington on the eve of its ratification and urged his party to join in ratifying the treaty. The insurrection of 1898 would never have had an inception nor flourished but for the fact that our flag was in the islands, and permitted Aguinaldo and his chiefs to land. Coming into the islands under our flag, our protection, and our assistance, as they did, Aguinaldo and his chiefs had no more legal or moral right to set up a claim or title hostile to the United States than a tenant, coming into possession by the permission of his landlord, has the right to question or set up a hostile title to the latter. We acquired, by conquest and treaty, as complete a title to the Philippine islands as to Porto Rico, and we have taken no more steps to obtain the consent of the Porto Ricans than of the Filipinos. The government we have established for the Porto Ricans is a government we have given them, and not a government they have given themselves. Merely a Tagal Affair. According to the most conservative data, the Philippine group embrace an area of about 120,000 square miles and a population of 7,000,000. Luzon has a little more than one-third of this area and a little less than one-half of this population. There are three different races and over eighty different tribes, of various degrees of civilization, in the group. Most of the people belong to the Malayan race; less than one-half million belong to the other two races. The principal tribe is the Visayas, occupying the Visaya group of islands, situate between Luzon on the north and Mindanao on the south. The Visayas occupy an area of 28,000 square miles, number about 2,600,000 and are as civilized and intelligent as the Tagals. The next tribe, in numbers, is the Tagals, who occupy Luzon, and number 1,664,000—about one-half of the population of this island. The insurrection is a Tagal insurrection, and the insurrectionary government is a Tagal government. The other tribes and the people of the other islands had no voice and were not represented in the formation or management of this government. The Tagal government of Aguinaldo in Luzon originated in and rests wholly upon military force, and has not, even in Luzon, to say nothing about the many other important islands, come into existence or continued by the free choice or voluntary consent of the people sought to be governed. Its scope and authority is limited to the territory occupied by its armed bands and detachments in Luzon. The consent of the governed is neither asked, sought nor expected. The great mass of the people are as helpless and where within reach of the Tagal government under as abject subjugation under Aguinaldo's military oligarchy as they ever were under the Spaniards in the years that are past. Bryan Would Haul Down Old Glory. It is to such an insurrection and to such a government that our adversaries would have us lay down our arms and surrender our control and authority. It is this insurrection and this government that we should have encouraged and set up as a permanent establishment and have made ourselves the protectors of. It is to this government of Aguinaldo's that we should retrocede the title and authority we acquired from Spain. When we ratified the treaty we should have given assurance of all this, and then all would have been well. It is because we have failed to do all this and because we are suppressing the insurrection, bringing order out of chaos and attempting to give the Filipinos a just, safe and liberal government—superior to any they have ever had or possibly could acquire through Aguinaldo and his chiefs—that we are guilty of imperialism and guilty of threatening the liberties of our own people by an increased standing army. Bryan's Imperialism. BUT IT IS ONLY ON HIS CRITICISMS THAT MR. BRYAN IS LOFTY AND SOARS TO IMPERIAL HEIGHTS. WHEN HE COMES TO LAY DOWN A PROGRAM OF HIS OWN HE IS LESS ELUSIVE, LESS STARTLING, AND APPROACHES REPUBLICAN GROUND NEARER THAN HE APPREHENDS. In his Philippine program he would, first, establish a stable form of government. That is exactly what the Republican party aims to do. But this implies that there is no such government there now, not even Aguinaldo's government. What Mr. Bryan admits by implication we assert as a positive fact, and we further assert that the first step in the establishment of a stable form of government is to suppress the existing insurrection and insurrectionary government, and that a stable form of government can not well be established before this is done. Different in Case of Cuba. Even this Mr. Bryan admits by implication, for he says we should do as we have done in Cuba. And what have we done there? When our forces went to Cuba there was a Cuban republic and a Cuban army. There was no Filipino government nor Filipino army when Dewey entered Manila bay. In Cuba, through our efforts, and aided by the good sense of Gomez and his chiefs, the Cuban republic has been permitted to expire and the Cuban army has long ago been disbanded, and by the aid and co-operation of the Cubans we are engaged in the effort of establishing de novo a stable government there. Had Aguinaldo and his chiefs followed the example of Gomez and his chiefs we should before this have been long on the way towards establishing a stable government in the Philippines. Under the circumstances we have not, as Mr. Bryan contends, been dilatory in establishing such a government. In 1846 our armed forces took possession of California, and continued to hold it pending the Mexican war, the ratification of the treaty of peace, and until it became a state in 1850. California never had a territorial form of government, but remained under the control of the amy from 1846 until it became a state. There was no insurrection in California, and yet, for upwards of two years after the treaty of peace, it was governed through the military department of the government, and this was held by our supreme court to be a valid and constitutional government, nor were we accused of being dilatory in giving California a state government. But it is asserted that the Filipinos are entitled to absolute independence, and that we have no right to govern them without their consent. Our Duty a Sacred One. If this is true, what right have we to impose any form of government upon them? They may insist that they have the right to establish just such a form of government as they see fit and that it is not our business to establish any form for them. What then? Are we to abandon the scheme or are we to watch, wait and pray for their consent, or are we to go on regardless of it. And in case we do go on to establish a stable government without their consent, and they see fit to resist and to go into an insurrection—as they are now doing—against our present efforts to establish a stable government, and we resort to arms to repress such resistance and insurrection—as they are now doing—against our present efforts to establish a stable government, and we resort to arms to repress such resistance and insurrection and insist upon establishing a stable government at the point of the bayonet, will not this bring us back into the slough of imperialism with the ghost of a standing army in the background? There is only one sure escape from such a gloomy outcome. It is to leave it to the Filipinos to say what constitutes a stable form of government. But if we do that there is really no occasion for our giving any consideration at all to their form of government. There is no need of giving them any form of government at all. That should be left wholly to themselves. As to a Protectorae. Having given the Filipinos a stable form of government, Mr. Bryan would give them their absolute independence and then protect them from the interference of other nations. If it is our duty to establish a stable form of government, it follows that it is our duty to see that such a form of government is maintained, for without it, we cannot afford them adequate protection against other nations. If we assume a protectorate over the islands, foreign governments would expect and require, and would have a right to expect and require that we maintain a stable government there. A government that would protect the life, property and commerce of foreigners to the same extent as amosg the civilized nations of the world. Without such a government we would, before the world, have no more right to say in foreign nations, you must keep out of the Philippines, than we have to say to foreign nations at this time, that you must keep out of China. The Protectorate klumbug. If we were to assume a protectorate over China it would be our duty to see that China accorded ample protection to the lives, property and business of foreigners. And recent events have demonstrated what a task this would be. And the Filipinos, in all their entirety, with their more than eighty different tribes and their varied and inferior degrees of civilisation, are far less fitted for self-government than the Chinese, who have maintained an organized government for centuries. PRICE ON HER HEAD SOCIETY OFFERS $1,000 FOR MISS JEWETT'S SCALP. A Sequel of the Recent Riots - The Woman Who Denounced the Killing of Charles and Others by a Mob of Lawless Whites. There is much excitement in two widely separated sections of the country over a sequel of the recent bloody scenes in the city of New Orleans, La, and as a result the states of Louisiana and Massachusetts are, so to speak, scowling at each other with unmistakable viciousness. The Green Turtle club, a semi-political organization of New Orleans, has threatened the life and set the price of $1,000 on the head of Miss Lillian Clyton Jewett of Boston, who headed a mass meeting of Boston negroes a few nights ago and declared war on southern whites. A Boston dispatch says Miss Jewett has secured 10,000 negro crusaders willing to march to New Orleans, and that $3,000 was raised to equip them and to send an advance agent. Miss Jewett is president of the Anti-Lynching league of Boston and the recent killing of Charles and other negroes without trial by lawless whites excited the woman and her followers greatly. At the meeting in Boston Miss Jewett made a fiery speech, in which she denounced the whites of New Orleans in unmeasured terms and declared that she would head a crusade against them. Excitement ran high, and one of the speakers, the Rev. B. W. Farris, exclaimed: 'If Robert Charles could hold 1,000 people at bay, what could 10,000 negroes do?' One speaker recognized a man in the audience who, he declared, was a former slave holder in New Orleans. This started a panic during which all of the whites and half of the negroes left the church, but the negroes returned when quiet had been restored. When the news of this meeting reached New Orleans the Green Turtle club, which is a representative southern club of over 100 members, was stirred to great anger. In a few days she received a letter postmarked New Orleans. It read: "We would give $1,000 reward for your scalp in preference to any negre in your congregation. You may be white in the eyes of Boston people, but in our eyes you are blacker than Robert Charles. We therefore invite you to come down. Our members are anxiously awaiting your arrival to get the prize that is offered for your head." This was signed "Members Green Turtle club, No. 1612 Annette street, New Orleans, La." The whole thing started in the southern city as a joke, but the Boston people took the matter seriously and now the Green Turtle members are in earnest and say they propose to stand back of their words. The letter to Miss Jewett further says: "Seeing that you threaten to come to New Orleans with a mob of 10,000 persons, we invite you to come as the blacks' Joan of Arc, and we assure you that your band of crusaders would get killed in less time than it took Charles to kill the police officers." That this is seriously meant is shown by the fact that these words were duly entered on the club's minutes. NETTY GREEN'S WEALTH Would Have a City of Palaces If Has Mortgages Were Foreclosed. No one knows precisely the extent of Hetty Green's wealth. It consists for the most part of government bonds, railroad stocks and mortgages, according to the Ladies' Home Journal. She says she is not so fond of government bonds since the finances of the nation have become polluted with politics. Good mortgages of any kind are now her favorite form of investment. If all the mortgages she holds were foreclosed tomorrow twenty-eight churches of various denominations, in almost as many states, would become hers, and four cemeteries would be added to her real estate. Besides there would be blocks of great business buildings and splendid city houses, theaters, livery stables and hotels, country residences, farms and ranches, factory buildings and thousands of acres of valuable land in all parts of the country. Several years ago she made a tour of inspection of all the property on which she held mortgages. She spent two years traveling and staid at forty hotels in as many cities. Since then she has added largely to her holdings of this kind. The most conservative estimates places Mrs. Green's wealth at $80,000.-000, but it is probably more. She, herself, won't discuss the matter, except to say that it is overstated. Cruel Treatment of Bullocks During his rapid march from Rietfontain to Bloemfontein Lord Roberts noticed the sufferings of the bullocks as they toiled along with the transport wagons, their backs seamed with the cruel lash of the Kaffir drivers. When the army moved on from Bloemfontein he issued a written order forbidding the Kaffirs from flogging the oxen. Walter Q. Grosham's Portrait A portrait of the late Walter Q.

He went to Jena in 1882, and later started from Hamburg on a tour to Spain and the Mediterranean. He was taken fl] with fever, when he returned, and was nursed back to health by Marie Thienemann, whom he married ip 1885. After another excursion through Europe gradually he became one of the principal figures in the literary set of Germany, and his powers began to de- velop until he won his first widespread acknowledgment, which has been in- creasing steadily, until his name is known now all over the world. He bas a still greater future, for he is not yet at the full development of his pow- ers. The dooryard flower gardens are dot- ted with poppies of all kinds, from the little single red fellows to ones that look almost like the big white-headed double chrysanthemums. Although the poppy is quite a favorite in this country, nore of the family is native to the soil. All of our poppies came from the old world. In England, Scot- land and Italy the graceful scarlet poppy blossoms in the whestfields and grows wild in waste places. Among the ruins of ancient Rome this bril- liamt flower bloems luxuriantly. It is- very hardy, and, though am annual, scatters its seed so well that they come up from yeer to year in gardens where they have once been planted. a wieed for Barnies Rat Justice Dooley of Chicago has decid- ed that “the rat is an animal,” and has fined James Poullis for burning one. ae eon. a a dignity and destiny, yet not averse to the filling of his baggy little pockets with the dollars of such “for- éiga evils” as afford him the oppor- tunity of so dcing.

The capital need- eded had been secured, and if the es- timate of cost made for this govern- ment be correct—$13,000,000,—the canal could be built by his company for the same money. and probably for less. The route selected would prob- abty be that hitherto called the Nica- ragua. Mr. Crimmins said: “Our con- cession is perpetual.

Queen Victoria’s knowledge of every detail, not only of the various houses, but also of the parks and gardens connected with the many royal pal- aces, is said to be wonderful. Within a few hours of the court arriving at Osborne, the queen makes a tour of those gardens which are close to the house, her first visit generally being paid to the lovely myrtle planted by the prince consort in 1858 from a sprig taken from the Empress Frederick's wedding nosegay. The sprig flourished and is now a fine bush, and during the last forty years it has supplied in- numerable pieces of myrtle for the embellishment of royal bridal bou- quets. Rocines Ofer.

Less steepul fur God, and more bred fur God's poor, iz the noo religyun,and the best religyun ov awl. Wunce Amerikans shed thare blud fur freedum. We aint doin mutch now but a sheddin ower freedum. Adam and Eve wuz never legally marreed—thatz the reezon we wuz not legitimate airz too the garden ov Eden I apoze. Noboddy wud be surprized too bear ov a war in hell, but war on earth iz too mutch like it to be called civilized doins. Men go about meddlin with the customs and religyuns and liberty ov other peepul, and call it "workin fur the Master." Man iz dropt intoo life jist like a drop ov medisin intoo a glass ov wotter--too sweeten or sour everything it tetches. If I had my choice to accept sum manze creed, or be damd, I'd take my chances and continyoo too wurk fur yoomanity. Injustis tords a heathen or a mewel iz jist the same az injustis tords a wite man. Itz wots in a man that makes him a willun. God made the strong men fu, and the weak men plenty, yit the plenty set down and howl at the fu fur being so skeerce and so rich. Tuns and tuns ov books hav bin ritten to bolster up awl sorts ov religyuns, but the peepul have been left to be plundered by polytishuns. If man haddent bin so careless az too luze his tail the evolooshinests wuddent hav sich a confounded time tracin him back too his anermal origin. A wise and good government consoomze awl it prodooes at home. A land ov haff-fed, haff-klothed peepul hunt up a forin market, and go naked. Yoo may possibly have a titel clear too manshuns in the ski, but fur fear yoo haven't, yood better doo a little more fur yoomanity and urn a noo titel. A hull lot ov men hav set slitch a big price on themselves that the peepul hav got too morgage thare veracity too even pay it in flattery.—Pennsylvania Grit. The responsibility ov good governments rests on the rulers, jist the same az our trouserze often hung on wun suspender. When she brakes, we hav a hard time holdin up our government pants. RAM'S HORN BLASTS. You can usually tell a man's prospects by his aspect. The greatest cowards kick the dead lion most heartily. A saloon may change hands, but it never changes heart. The rattle of the wheels of life is call for the oil of prayer. The hands of Christ were the pulses of the heart of God. Readiness in criticism often marks ignorance of the task. The men who deny the existence of sin still go on locking their doors and taking receipts. Do not fool yourself. If the first man was made with eyes and ears, his Maker can both see and hear. Indifference about the salvation of the world is disloyalty to Christ. The church that accepts whisky money may expect the Christ of the scourge. When God puts a mountain in your path it is a sign-that He would lift you up. The man who sits down to wait for somebody's old shoes will need a cushion on his chair before he gets them. The man who hates the gospel does it for the same reason that an elephant strikes at the water which reflects his face.—Ram's Horn. CONUNDRUMS What is the most noted rock in Ireland? Shamrock. When is a silver dollar lonely? When it is a loan (alone). What part of a boat is the product of a mine? The oars (ores). What proves that a led horse has spirit? A le(a)d horse must be a horse of metal (mettle). What bird was always seen in old Puritan households? A crane. What season is often made by a small boy? Spring. When is a walking stick like a tornado? When it is a hurricane. Why should we expect to see wild animals about the streets in winter? Because there are so many bare (bear) trees everywhere. Perils of Coal Mining. The dangerous work of coal mining is almost a third as fatal as the battlefield, for of every 1,000 miners 23.2 are killed every year in the performance of their work. Waldersee's "Campaign House." Count Von Waldersee does not propose to forego entirely the pleasures of civilization while he is clearing up the remnants of the Celestial Empire. He is taking with him a "campaign ause" built of an asbestos preparation, light, fireproof and weatherproof, containing seven rooms and a bath. In Austria mushrooms are grown in coal pits. The newest thing in medical science is the "isolation cure." Australia consumes more meat than any other country. More doctors, it is claimed, are kept busy in Australia than in any other country. A $100,000 school house for colored children is to be erected at Bristol, Tenn. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha carried life insurance amounting to $1,500,000. Fire-arms and ammunition are commanding premium of 100 per cent in Shanghai. Of the 20,000 Chinese in San Francisco, 15,000 are said to be employed as domestics. German artists have received 250 grand prizes at the Paris exposition, and Austrians 80 grand prizes. Usually, when you pass two women, you can hear one ask; "Did you make it without a pattern?"—Atchison Globe. The Salvation Army, in England, reports that it has a life assurance premium income of nearly £70,000 a year and 250,000 policies. Damages of $2,000 are asked by a Kansas City baker from a woman who spread a report that he kneaded his bread with his feet. Like the bonito, the kingfisher's colors dull after death. No one who has seen only the stuffed bird can form any idea of the brilliance of its plumage when alive. An octopus has been added to the New York aquarium. It came from the waters around Bermuda, and measures three feet in length from tip to tip of its extended arms. Feeing servants is strictly forbidden in London hotels. Great Britain and Ireland have 21,700 miles of railway. More than 15,000,000 visits are paid annually to London pawn shops. Massachusetts uses more stamps in proportion to population than any other state. There are said to be over 400,000 cats in London, of which half are "unattached." More candy is consumed in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago than in the whole of France. More than 2,000 people earn a living in Paris by fortune telling, their total yearly earnings being estimated at $2,-000,000. The Chinese discovered gunpowder at least 800 years ago, and made stone mortars that threw heavy stone projectiles. A Chicago firm has set up a line of automobiles to transport passengers between its store and one of the railroad stations for 5 cents. It is computed that the average industry has added annually $43,000,000 directly and $60,000,000 indirectly to the taxable wealth of the United States. There are more than 9,000 commercial florists in the United States, representing an invested capital of $11,250,000 and an annual trade of $27,750,000.—Indianapolis News. A pound of phosphorus heads 1,000,000 matches. Sheep thrive best in a pasture where moles are numerous. The mole holes serve to drain the land. Ten thousand Irish children are taught the Erse language. The only European country which has a lower death rate than England is Norway. Nature has sometimes made a fool, but a coxcomb is always of a man's own making.—Addison. Denmark claims that there is not a single person in her domain who can not read and write. There are over 15,000 Japanese residents in Korea, as well as a large, shifting Chinese population. A return shows that during 1899 41. 232 natives emigrated from Ireland, nearly 9,000 more than the preceding year. Cigarettes are smoked almost exclusively in Germany, Austria, Russia, and Greece, and generally throughout Europe. Fines of 50 pfennings (12 cents) are collected by tramway conductors of Frankfort, Germany, for any dirt carried into the car. The pastor of a Baptist church in Emporia, Kas., the other afternoon, found three youngsters using the baptismal font as a swimming hole SAYINGS OF THE SAGE. A woman never forgives a man for his kindness in bringing her husband home drunk. Probably the love of the angels for men is as tender and sweet as the love of an old maid for the new minister, A man can't please all women part of the time or one woman all of the time, but he can always smile at all of their babies. Selfishness probably never would have existed if it weren't for love. A woman can afford to forgive her husband for everything except marrying her. A baby's smile is the sweetest thing in the world; it is a combination of contentment, idolcy and gums. If men were as noble and heroic as their wives think they are there would be so many monuments around that the street cars would all have to run underground.—New York Press. TEL. HARRISON 51.
