' The Indianapolis Journal published ‘the opinion of two of our race leaders ‘whose expressions at this time de- mand consideration. The one advises colored people to abandon politics en- itirely, to refrain from voting at all sand ito devote their attention wholly to jebtaining a practical and useful edv- ation. The other urges that the Ne- ‘goes in the south shall divide their vote and that such action on their wart would contribute materially to the solution of the race problem. We ‘do not overlook the fact that in all communities may ‘be found kind and generous men in the democratic party avho would gladly redress the thou- leands of grievances emanating from ‘hat party and which to-day weigh so theavily upon the race. Knowing that ‘these wrongs do exist and that south- em democracy is the source of our yeuffering, it would seem to be a wise jand Christian act on the part of all good men friendly to the Negro to yeever their relations with that party, sumite their influence and support in weconstructing or building up a new arty which designs the alleviation of {the condition of humanity everynwhere. In face of the fact that the demo- weratic party has been and is to-day jthe uncompromising enemy of the Ne- gro and still seeks to opnress and cir- ‘eumscribe him im the exercise of his personal and political privileges, we do mot see the wisdom of the Afro-Amer- écan abandoning polities entirely, nor of dividing his vote with the demo- erates. No man can Gonsistently sur gender his own convictions of right mor yield his manhood to another «without becoming a party to tthe be- ‘trayal of his own birthright—liberty— and becoming a traitor to the God ‘that made him. We are to obey God gather than man, and it would be gross erimivality for any living mortal to ‘barter away and sacrifice the dearest eon of life for the sake of a tempo- gary peace. Every man, be he black wr white, egardless of conditions is required to do what duty and con- cienee demand. No man does his duty who violates the mandates of is own conscience, and no man is morally right who yields his ow con- sietions and bows to the behest of any party seeking the degradation and distranchisement of a weaker race. Let the Negro decline to exercise the right of the ballot or let him share his vote, eompromisingly with the de- mands’ of the south, let him like a fawning cur yield his vote to the dic- tates of « master band, how long will it be before these masters would de- mand the last vestige of right amd lib- erty and consign the whole race to helplessness? We do not agree -wilthi either one of the great leaders in the) position they takeon this question. Men, must first do right at any peril and; leave the consequences with God. We canmot hope to better our condition politically or materially by abusing our own privileges. We are today engaged in a holy contest for social and political elevation. If we falter now or barter away the sacred jewel just within our grasp we can only share in terrible judgments which al- ready await those who have so long scourged us. The government has enfranchised the Negro and he stands @ recognized citizen before the law, ‘then what would it avail us to aban- don the right of suffrage under the law, or what would it profit us to cast our votes contrary to our best hopes and aspirations? But it is conceded that the republican party is the party af freedom and progress and in all matters of legislation it looks to the elevation and agrandizement of every race and people. Can we afford to antagonize the great issues of this party and make terms with the other party which means the subversion of free government and ‘the blessed heri- tage of our great and growing insti- tutions. We would be necessarily called to confront and oppose the very party which has established lib- erty and inaugurated all the reform movements in our land, Though op- position and hardships confronts the Afro-American, yet let him exercise his manhood, prove himself a brave and loyal citizen and do what pleases him asa man and @ brother. He can not vote with democracy unless he shares in all the crimes and evils of that party, renounces the great prin ciples of republicanism and forever re: pudiates the sublime doctrines as con tained in the amendments to our fed. eral constitution. We live for ow children and our posterity. Let. the Negro vote as a freeman, vote upor principle, vote for right and justice vate with his conscience, and against every empty expediency, against an) time-serving policy or measure to en slave and vote for things which mak for the lasting security and equality of rights among men. ” Gov. Stanley, of Kansas, will recom- mend to the next legislature the restoration of capital punishment when that penalty is fixed by the jury, leaving the governor only to execute the judgment. Numerous murders of recent occurrence in thc state have influenced the governor to take this course. Word comes from Berlin that Nan- sen is preparing a new expedition and expects to leave in two months’ time. This may be regarded as a notifica- tion to those of us who have not read “Farthest North” that it may be well to hurry up in order to be ready to appreciate and enjoy “Still Farther North” when the explorer returns. anes Michael Connolly, whe leaves the New York state penitentiary next September, after serving 20 years for highway robbery, will receive $8,000 by his father’s will, provided that dur- ing the five years following his im- prisonment he behaves like a good citizen. In case he does not become a good citizen the $8,000 is to go to the state. It was no fault of that fa- ther that his boy went astray! ‘The ordinance bureau of the United States navy is now experimenting with a new explosive called “marsite.” This new explosive, which is said to have wonderful power, can only be exploded by the combined force of percussion and concussion. Now some one will invent an armor that will resist its force. Thus the fight has gone on for centuries between armor and armament, and so it will go on until the end of all things. Before his election to congress Jos- leph ©. Sibley, of the Twenty-seventh Pennsylvania district, declared that in the event of his success he would divide his salary for the entire term among the five hospitals of his dis- trict. In accordance with this prom- ise he has given $1,000 each to the institutions named. When he repre- sented the Twenty-sixth district he divided his salary among the labor or- ganizations of Erie and Crawford rey In the Hawaiian islands, according to the latest reports, there are 21,616 Chinese. Of these 15 are doctors; mer- chants and traders number 822, in- cluding 3 women; 1,356 are clerks and salestnen, 18 of these women; of me- chanics there are 220; mariners, 15 lonly;) fishermen, 294; drivers and teamsters, 105. In the country, apart from Honolulu, there are 36 Chinese leoffee planters, 93 ranches, 718 rice planters, 2 of them women; of farm- ers and agriculturists 1,278, and, the laborers number 10,941. There are no Chinese lawyers. Se EEEnE Statistics of the number of species lof animals now known to exist on land and sea show a total of 400,000, while there are 150,000 kinds of plants. Insects alone furnish 203,000 species, lot which 120,000 are coleoptera, with lepidoptera, 50,000, and hymenoptera, 138,000. Birds number 13,000, fish 12,- 000, reptiles 8,300, of which 1,640 are serpents, 300 being venomous.. The amphibians are 1,300 in number, spiders, 20,000; mollusks, 50,000; worms, 8,000; echinoderms, 3,000. The Museum of Natural History at Berlin lcontains 200,000 species, If China can save herse:f from total disintegration for a few years longer there is some hope that she may take her place among the wealthy and prosperous nations of the world. Now that outsiders are being permitted to learn something of the interior of the country it is found that the mineral wealth in those vast regions is enor- mous. All that is needed is a progres sive administration to take advantage lof the benefits which nature has ¢0 lavishly bestowed. The carving up of China has been accomplished thus far because she is weak and a debtor.

Vowels are as in Italian, and deserves much care; Hawaiians ‘pay litle attention to. consonants. | The colonization season has opened promisingly in the south, and sindus- trial agents say the year will be a record breaker for immigration. Many new mills and factories are being lo- cated along the lines of southern rail- roads, and new industries are con- stantly developing. Large colonies are also coming south, and thousands of people are taking advantage of the home seekers’ excursions. A change in the quality of straw hats for the Cuban and Porto Rican trade is reported by dealers this sea- son. The goods are to be mostly of bright striking colors. Two years ago hats of this character were rare- ly seen in Cuba, all the women wear- ing black then, either for personal mourning or as an evidence of sor- row over Spanish rule.

Scott, have organ: ized themselves into a band of labor. ers for the’ building of the United Brethren church there. Twelve of them donned old clothes the other day and began the work of excavat ing for the foundations. Enough money to build the charch could not be raised, so the women determined to take up the work and do it them selves rather than let the project. be abandoned. Gen. Edward Moody MeCook, whe has been compelled to seek a refuge in the soldiers’ home at Yountville, Cal., belongs to the historic “fighting McCooks,” almost a score of whom have been military men of renown. The general is the son of the late John McCook, and was born at Steu- benville, O., in 1835, He was the fifth and seventh governor of Colorado, and was active in the territorial legis- lature of Kansas at the time when the ginteot Kankau was formed. | Italy’s sanitary precautions are in- terfering with the jubilee pilgrimages.

It will be used in the manufacture of wire. A German authority has recently announced the discovery of a tree in the forests of Central India which has most curious characteristics. The leaves of the tree are of a highly sen- sitive nature, and so full of electricity that whoever touches one of them receives an electric shock. It has a very singular effect upon a magnetic needle, and will influence it at a dis- tance of even 70 feet. The electrical strength of the tree varies according to the time of day, it being strongest at midday and weakest at midnight. ‘ha Suis eenettnes ten: Garers dtenneenr. An official report of the Russian bureau of statistics, in the depart- ment of Paskov, shows that some of the peasants in times of scarcity hibernate in the manner of animals. They lie in bed, or, as it is called in Russia, “lejka.” The bed is made on a flat stove, and all they do is to re- plenish the steve and support life by a diminished ration of black bread dipped in water. They try to keep as immovabie as possible so as not to waste their energy or neat. The hut is dark and silent throughout the winter. ND, 0O., SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1900.

Sutton, of Detroit, one of the indicted men, shortly after an alleged unlawful payment of $25,000 to Gens. White and Marsh, who were Sutton's political associates. Carnegie's testimony was rather vague and a subpena was issued for the teller who received the deposits in question. A purchase by Marsh of stock in a knitting concern in Grand Rapids was shown by succeeding witnesses. Overcome by Gas in a Tunnel. New York, March 30.—A new source of danger manifested itself Thursday in the Manunkachunk tunnel on the Lackawanna railroad in New Jersey.

The salient fact that presents itself in taking a bird's-eye view of the Canadian West, is that of intense activity in every department. Whether the glance be turned upon the district east of Winnipeg, the Red River Valley south or north, the Dauphin and M. & N. W. district, the Southwestern, or whether it take in the great central division along the main line of the C. P. R. stretching away out to the Rockies and from there bending north and south to Prince Alberta and Edmonton, Meleod and Lethbridge—whether the examination be made in any of these directions the same activity, growth and hopefulness is observable. The Canadian west is not only a good place to locate permanently, but it is also a good place to invite their relatives and friends to come to. This is the spirit that seems to animate the west at the present time and its effects are to be seen on every hand. To enumerate the towns where handsome and substantial blocks and residences have gone up this year would be simply to give a list of the towns and villages along the railway lines. And this movement has not been confined to these centers of population, but in many cases it has been overshadowed by the improvement in farm buildings. So far as one can see, this is no passing phase, no repetition of any temporary boom following a period of good crops and fair prices. It is a movement more spontaneous, more general, more marked than anything that has gone before, and seems to indicate that the Great West, like Samson, bursting the encompassing bands, has awakened to a period of activity and development that will surpass anything we have known in the past and which will only be paralleled by the opening out of some of the most fertile of the western states of the union. Look at some of the figures. Over a thousand schools in Manitoba and the number going up by leaps and bounds. Something like five hundred schools in the Territories. Winnipeg as representing the gateway of the west, the third city in the Dominion in regard to bank clearings, postal business and probably in regard to customs: the custom return at Winnipeg running about thirty to forty per cent. greater month by month than in the fiscal year of 1897-8, the largest previous year for actual business entries, when over $900,000 was paid through the Winnipeg office for duty. The C. P. R. and Canada Northwest land sales together running over $1,500,000 for the year. These, and a thousand more signs show how the west has leaped into new life. This is an inspiring and cheering spectacle, but it brings with it great responsibilities. The business men realize this, the banks realize it, and have spread their agencies through every bustling little town clear out to the coast, the churches realize it, and one denomination alone has opened an average of about thirty new stations in each of the past two years, and will increase this in the year now entered upon, the government departments realize it, and there is talk of redistribution and additional members. The educational branches realize it and new schools are springing up everywhere. Over 12,000 settlers came in from the United States alone last year, and these with the people who came in from the east prove the most rigorous Westerners. They lose no time in developing their farms, in filling their grazing lands with stock and in every district is to be found evidences of thrift and prosperity. INDIANS IN MEDICINE DANCE. Yakima Tribe on Reservation Near Toppenish, Wash., Engage in Ancient Rites. Yakima Indians on the reservation near Toppenish, Wash., gave a medicine dance. Half of the tribe, including Chief White Swan is civilized. Old customs and dances have long been abolished. Two hundred Indians gathered unknown to the chief and performed the rites. The dance lasted seven days. Seven candidates for the place of medicine man underwent severe tests of endurance. Every day the candidates would torture themselves. Fire brands were applied to the bare skin until the flesh dropped from the bones. Gashes were out on the back and breast. The one who withstood these self-inflicted tortures longest won the position. The new medicine man Running Coyote, is almost dead from exertion and torture, and is being tenderly nursed, while the unsuccessful dancers are permitted to recover or die without attention.

Some people are always doing their best to do their worst. The man who always wants favors is the last to get them of. War's wrinkled front may be due to patronizing a poor laundry. In some society it takes a fortune of six figures to keep in form. It is well to leave windfalls out of our anticipations. The fruit is usually bruised. A man should have no secrets from his wife unless he has a blind pocket in every coat. We can always see considerable poetry about the hard work other people have to do. Married men seldom try to dissuade others from wedding. Both happiness and misery love company.—Chicago Dispatch. The Irish writer, Seumas MacManus, disposed of short stories to almost every standard American magazine during his visit to this country. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

TRANS-ATLANTIC TRAVELERS Furnished Special Attendants by the Pennsylvania System. The bureau of attendants for trans-Atlantic travelers established in Jersey City and New York (city twenty years ago by the Pennsylvania System, has proven a great convenience to persons making European trips and to tourists arriving in America at that port. It will be particularly convenient for visitors to the Paris Exposition because the departure docks of most of the Atlantic Steamship Lines are convenient to the new Jersey City Passenger Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The bureau consists of experienced agents whose duties are to meet passengers arriving in Jersey City and New York over the Pennsylvania Lines and assist them in arranging for trans-Atlantic trips via any of the steamship lines by conducting them to steamships and aiding in preparations for a trip abroad. These agents will provide cabs operated by the Pennsylvania System and aid passengers with their baggage. They are fully posted on matters pertaining to steamships leaving New York, and arrangements can be made through for procuring steamship tickets in advance. They also meet incoming steamships to aid travelers in shaping details for continuing journeys from New York over the Pennsylvania Lines by furnishing tickets, arranging for the transfer of baggage from steamship doors and the often massed by customary spectors, and having the same checked through to destination. They will reserve sleeping car accommodations and relieve persons of the foregoing details, making themselves useful as attendants and guides free of charge.

Charles Bundy, as admin- istrator of the estate of Moses Simmons, deceased. vs. The Society for Savings, Maria Thompson and the Unknown heirs of Henry Simmons, of David Sim- mons, of Simmons and of Ferrebe Greenfield, respectively, deceased. Maria Thompson, who resides at Goldsboro, in Wayne county, N.C., Carolina, and the unknown heirs of Henry Simmons, Dr. Simmons, of George Simmons, and Fernie Greenfield, respectively, deceased, heirs at law of Moses Simmons, deceased, will take notice that Charles Bundy, as administrator of the estate of Moses Simmons, deceased, on the ninth day of March, A. D. 1900, filed his petition in the Probate Court within and for the County of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, alleging that the personal estate of said decedent is insufficient to pay his debts and the charges of administering his estate; that he died seized in fee simple of the following described real estate, situate in the City of Cleveland, County Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, to-wit.,—known as James M. Hort's sub-division, located in No. 37 in said city, and together makes a frontage of 30 feet upon the westerly line of Sterling avenue, and extends in rear to Laurel street 148 and 3-12 feet in depth. That the said defendant, the Society for Savings, holds a mortgage lien on said real estate by virtue of a certain mortgage executed to it as mortgagee by the said decedent during his life time, dated November 14, 1894, and recorded in Vol. 595, page 509, of Cuyahoga County records, that the account occurred by said mortgage is Five Hundred Dollar, exhibited in A. attached to said petition. That the taxes for 1899 are unpaid and are a lien on said real estate. That it would be for the best interests of the estate of the said Moses Simmons to sell said real estate at private sale for the reason that the character and location of said property leads plaintiff to believe that he could sell the same for a greater sum at private sale than at public auction. The prayer of said petition is that the plaintiff may be authorized to sell said real estate to pay debts, at a private sale, according to the statute in such case made and provided. The persons first above mentioned will further statute notice that they have been made parties defendant to said petition, and that they are required to answer the same on or before the 12th day of May, A.

From Washington How a Little Boy Was Saved. Washington, D. C.—"When our boy was about 16 months old he broke out with a rash which was thought to be measles. In a few days he had a swelling on the left side of his neck and it was decided to be mumps. He was given medical attendance for about three weeks when the doctor said it was scrofula and ordered a salve. He wanted to lance the sore, but I would not let him, and continued giving him medicine for about four months, when the bunch broke in two places and became a running sore. Three doctors said it was scrofula, and each ordered a blood medicine. A neighbor told me of a case somewhat like our baby's which was cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla. I decided to give it to my boy and in a short while his health improved and his neck healed so nicely that I stopped giving him the medicine. The sore broke out again, however, whereupon I again gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla and its persistent use has accomplished a complete cure." MRS. NETTIE CHASE, 47 K St., N. E. GRAIN-O THE FOOD DRINK.

The very first requirement of the primitive man is food, the next, clothing, the next shelter and then he passes from the requirements of the purely animal body to those of a little higher plane and demands light and heat and companionship. In the process of evolution the very first evidence of a development beyond the animal stage, in which man was a carnivorous beast of prey, killing and devouring, raw, animals less strong than himself, was the employment of fire for heat, for light, and later for cooking. It is strange that nature should have so fashioned adult man that he cannot ```markdown ``` The new substance "Carbide" in appearance resembles dark granite, and perature hasmoths burn grimite and ordinarily crushed the pieces average about the size of egg coal. Carbide is inert, will not burn, is non inflammable and can be handled in any quantity with perfect safety. Calcium Carbide is produced by the fusion and reduction in an electric furnace of a mixture of finely ground and intimately mixed lime and coke. There have been passed and pronounced safe by the Boards of Fire Insurance over eighty different kinds of generators for producing Acetylene from the union of Calcium Carbide and water, and the sales of Calcium Carbide for a single day have been in excess of 360 tons. When it is considered that less than four years ago there was not an Acetylene generator on the market and the very name Acetylene itself was unknown outside of technical chemical laboratories, this progress seems truly marvelous and is explainable only by the fact that Acetylene is truly an extraordinarily brilliant, cheap, safe and satisfactory light, that it possesses many advantages not common to any other artificial illuminant, and that it reaches and appeals to a class of isolated consumers in villages and on farms away from gas and electric mains and supplies—a long and sorely felt want. Acetylene is produced by the simple combination of calcium carbide and water, the former is now procurable readily and at small cost. Any mechanic can install the generator. Any member of the family can manipulate it. It causes no odor, soot, or smoke. The flame from the Acetylene is clear and brilliant, the very essence of light. Owing to its richness it is consumed in very small burners. An Acetylene flame the size of a thumb nail gives as much light as an ordinary flame from city gas thirteen times as large. Widow of Magician Hermann to Marry a Wealthy Russian Captain. It is probable that Mrs. Adelaide Hermann, widow of Hermann the magician, may be a Russian baroness, Baron Ivan Svenorak Orskevitch, of the Russian cavalry, holding the position of captain and large of wealth, is mentioned as the man who is to marry the charming widow. Back of all this there is a romance. The baron is a widower. Hermann and his wife visited Russia. They were entertained by Baron Orskevitch, who was charmed with the magician's wife. The Hermanns left Russia and Hermann, in the height of his career, died. For some weeks Mrs. Hermann has played in vaudeville theaters in the far west. The baron found time to run over from Russia to San Francisco and come east, closely following Mrs. Hermann to New York. When she came back she wore a magnificent diamond and sapphire ring. To a close friend she confided that the ring meant an engagement. We make way for the man who boldly pushes past us.—Bovee. Men are as old as they feel, and women as they look.—Italian Proverb.

LIGHT. adult man that he cannot pass as much of the time in sleep as she has given over to darkness, and it is to correct this fault in his structure that for all time man has devoted a large part of his energies towards producing means for artificial illumination which would lengthen the day and shorten the night. The demand for light is as natural a demand as that for food. An evidence of the fact that this is a natural demand, is the rapidity with which any industry supplying a satisfactory light grows. Perhaps the largest industrial concerns in the world are engaged in the work of dispelling the darkness after the sun has ceased to shine. A marvelous new chemical compound which when brought in contact with water would give off a gas possessing fifteen times the illuminating value of ordinary gas, was discovered by accident at a small North Carolina village on May 4th, 1892. Nothing was done with the discovery until 1895, when a company to exploit it was formed. Since then its growth and development has been without parallel in the industrial history of America.

It occurred in Judge Lawlor's court a few days ago. There was a murder trial on and a policeman named Riley was on the witness stand relating the details of the tragedy. Said Mr. Ferral, who was acting as defendant's counsel: "How many minutes after the shooting did the man die, Mr. Riley?" "Two minutes, sir," answered the witness without the least hesitation. "You seem positive about the time," remarked Mr. Ferral, with the air of one who has the upper hand. "Now, I'm going to test your ability to judge time. I will hold my watch here for two minutes. When you think the time is up, say when." The defendant's counsel held the watch on the witness and stood examining the hand carefully. The policeman, however, did not seem to be worried at all at the tax upon his mental apparatus. He sat staring vacantly about the room, and at the exact second when the two minutes had expired, remarked: "Now!" and smiled like a tickled sphinx. Mr. Ferral was staggered at the uncanny accuracy of the witness, and Gen. Solomon, who was prosecuting, was delighted proportionately at his opponent's discomfiture. He chuckled in a comfortable German way, during the rest of the session. At the noon recess he called Riley to him, and, slapping him on the shoulder, said: "Officer Riley, you vass a vondr! How dit you do it, hein?" "Do it!" replied Riley, pointing to a big redwood clock on the opposite wall, "why, that was dead easy!" Riley will be promoted—San Francisco Riley will be promotel—San Francisco News Letter. No Wonder He Smelled It A commercial traveler whose wife is one of those women who borrow trouble indiscriminately had occasion to make a trip east recently. His wife was very anxious about him and felt certain that he would fall a victim to smallpox, which was reported to be prevalent in the city to which he was going. She begged him to carry a little lump of asafetida in his pocket to ward off contagion. Naturally he objected and positively refused to be made the permanent abode of such a persistent odor. When he came home from his trip he said to his wife: "It is wonderful, the power of the imagination. Why, don't you know I imagined that I smelled asafetida the whole time I was gone!" "It wasn't imagination at all," quietly replied the wily little woman. I sewed a bit of asafetida in the corner of your coat before you went away!"—Memphis Scimitar. The doomed man had a last request to make. "Pray do not tell my parents," he implored, "that I was hanged!" "What shall we say killed you, then?" we asked, suspecting nothing.
