Twenty-Scond Year RACE PROGRESS IN KENTUCKY Hopkinsville Noted For Large Number of Business Men. PETER POSTELL'S FORTUNE Brief Account of What Some of Our Enterprising Citizens Are Doing In Flourishing Little Town In the Blue Grass State-Cordial Relations Between the People. Hopkinsville, Ky., one of the most enterprising little towns in the south, boasts of a large number of Afro-Americans who are in every way keeping pace with the progressive spirit of the times. There is a large number of men in the town whose names for a long period of years have been of worldwide fame. The influence of the Postell family has for years been of widespread significance. Although the founder of the family fortunes, Peter Postell, Sr., has been dead for twelve years, the fortune which he amassed is kept intact, and the family estate is easily one of the most productive in the community. Peter Postell, Jr., the well known business man of today, keeps alive the luster of the family name and has no equal for progressive ideas and enthusiastic conduct in business affairs of the community. Nero Kirkpatrick, the brother of Peter Postell, Sr., is rich in his own name and, with the younger Postell, maintains a lucrative business in the Postell block. In recent years another and younger set of men has arisen, who have taken up the lead set by their seniors. One rejoices in the business establishment of E. G. Lamb, the jeweler; in the hustling ability displayed in the last few years by D. S. Stewart, the rapid rise of a score of young men such as James M. Moore, Robert Waters, R. A. Phelps, John Buckner, Henry Moore, Esq.; Ned and John Bronaugh, Charlie Lynch, C. W. Merrlweather, J. T. Whitney, William Knight and a host of others and cannot but applaud the remarkable spirit displayed by the Ne- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOV. 12, 1910 A. B. WALTER ROBINSON, BSQ. gro citizens of Hopkinsville in the constant patronage they give to the business men of the race. In this connection it would be well to call attention to the success attained by T. Walter Robinson, a young and promising lawyer, who bids fair to stand in the place of pre-eminence occupied by the late Robert N. Lander. As a fearless, brave and conscientious lawyer Mr. Robinson might be considered his protege. He succeeded not only to Mr. Lander's good will, but was bequeathed his valuable library and enters the profession as his one disciple. Mr. Robinson passed the Kentucky examination with credit and has already won one or two very important cases. The people of Christian county impose remarkable confidence in him. That he will eventually be a great success goes without saying. He has served successfully and satisfactorily as a teacher in the county for a number of years and has a wide acquaintance. He is straight politically and in every campaign is in demand as a speaker who can convince his hearers of the wisdom of the cause he advocates. More Negroes own property in Hopkinsville than in any other town of its size in the country. Some of the individuals have large holdings, with rent rolls that make a comfortable income. Among them are E. W. Glass, Rev. John Moore, the Postell estate, Peter Postell. Jr., Lucian Dade, Andrew Wimm, Dr. J. R. Duncan, Dr. J. C. Lyte, John Knight, Mrs. Carrie Brent, Rev. Edward Williams, Nero Kirkpatrick and George A. Leavell, while hundreds of individuals own comfortable and well appointed homes. As executive secretary to John B. Atkinson, the wealthy coal operator and railroad magnate, Phil H. Brown. State Historian & Nat ural History Society STATES SATURDAY, NOV. 12. 1910 well known in many centers as a journalist, holds one of the most important positions in the state. He worked his way into Mr. Atkinson's confidence by his pronounced editorials in the Morning News on labor matters and has since that time served him well and with apparent satisfaction. A visit to Hopkinsville would convince one beyond a doubt of the superiority of the community, as far as its Negro citizens are concerned, who would not only be struck with the progress displayed, but with the cordiality that exists between the races and with the strong force the Negro leaders have in county and city politics. THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION. Hon. George McAneny Gives Race Some Sound Advice. Speaking at the National Negro Business league in New York last August, Borough President George McAneny said: "For a long time past it has seemed to me that in addition to such beneficial organizations as this the colored people of the United States ought to have a strong national committee of their own. "Their white friends could direct their energies and their friends' energies toward the preservation of their liberties and the righting of their wrongs, precisely as there have been steering committees for the Irish people and for the Poles of Prussia." BAR ASSOCIATION HONORS MEMORY OF EDWARD BROWN Richmond (Va.) Attorneys Show Respect For Law Library Assistant. The actions of the bar of Richmond, Va., in calling a special meeting for the purpose of passing a set of resolutions in honor of Edward Brown, late janitor and assistant in the state law library, show the high esteem in which he was held. Mr. Brown had held the position for over forty years. During that time he proved himself to be a man of worth, honesty and intelligence. It is related of him that he could put his hand on any book in the library at once when called for by any one of the many persons who made use of the library. The white people of Richmond who knew him showed him the very highest respect, and no favor which Mr. FIVE CENTS A COPY Brown desired of any of them would be withheld when asked for. When we consider that the bar association of Richmond is composed solely of white men it is easy to see the high honor conferred upon the deceased by southern white men of influence and high standing in the community. Mr. Brown was always courteous, obliging and respectful to those whom he served in the line of duty. He perhaps knew more public men of wealth and position than any other man of our race in the city of Richmond. Governors, educators, senators and representatives of the lower house were among his daily companions, as it were, while in the performance of their duty as state and city officials. In thus honoring the memory of one who faithfully performed his duty in life the lawyers at the Richmond bar reflect honor upon the community and at the same time prove themselves to be men of broad sympathies, possessing at the same time a high sense of duty and humanitarian virtues. True Reformers In Difficulty. According to information received from Washington, Nov. 2, the insurance officials of the District of Columbia have suspended the license of the Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers, pending the restoration of its license by the state of Virginia. The association has been doing business in Washington for a number of years. It has seventy-eight lodges in the District, with 1,818 members, and, according to a statement filed with the Washington officials, owns property valued at $80,000. The Question of Citizenship. The question of citizenship in the United States, like the question of slavery was, must sooner or later be forced to a successful and final conclusion, says N. Barnett Dodson. The influx of foreigners and their anxiety to become naturalized, hold office and help to dictate the policy of the government are problems which the United States cannot ignore. In the final analysis all citizens must have voice, right and protection guaranteed to them by the constitution. Western University's New President. The board of trustees of Western university, Quindaro, Kan., has appointed H. T. Kealing of Nashville, Tenn., to the presidency of that institution to succeed the Hon. W. T. Vernon. Mr. Keeling has been editor of the African Methodist Church Review for a number of years. PRESBYTERIAN ~ COUNCIL MEETS Keen literest Manifested at the Seventh Annual Session, ADVOCATES MORE SCHOOLS, Rev. W. A. Byrd In Able Address Gives Reasons For Slow Growth of the Church Numerically and Why Organ- ic Union With Southern Church Has Not.

Hy Trusty pastor, from Thursday, Oct. 27, to Sunday, Oct. 30. There were many delegates present, especially from the eastern states, Following the formal opening of the council the program as proposed by the committee was adopted, and the exercises began in earnest. The open- ins sermon was preached by the Rey. Dr. Leonard Z Johnson of Baltimore ut the evening session. Dr. Johnson's discourse was deliy- ered with great forcefulness and ani- nition, It dealt with deep Scriptural truths and citations of God's presence with the church in all of its struggles and triumphs. He is one of the most gifted of the younger ministers of the denomination. “The Presbyterian Church and the Negro” was the subject of an able and scholarly +ddress by the Rey. Dr. W. A.

In the course of his address Dr. Byrd said: Preshyterianism is peculiarly adapted t. the substantial uplift and the Christianiz- ing of Negroes. The genius of Calvinism as taught and beljeved by Presbyterians {mn & counterpart to the very emotional THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO. nature of the Negro, and when he imuives it it produces a tertium quid, a very con- sistent and orthodox follower of Christ. His worship is intellectual, yet spiritual. The Presbyterian church has realized the most satisfactory results of all de- nominations which have labored among Negroes. The quantity cf its adherents is very small, but quality very excellent. It has been the restraining power which has caused the more emotional and enthus!- astic churches to moderate their emotion- alism. The schools, however, are not progres- sive; are not as good and as high in point of curricula as they were twenty-five years ago. This Is to be regretted. The Presbyterian church will grow nu- merically as soon as efficient Negroes are pressed Into the executive service of the church. A gradual manning of freed- “men’s schools by freedmen should be the policy of the church. Cumberland union did more to drive Negroes away from the church than any- ‘thing else, and the extent of this Is great- er than imagined. The un-Christian poll- cy of the foreign board 1f continued means the wholesale exodus of self re- specting Negroes from the church When Negroes are refused the right of go'ng into mission lands because they are Negroes and because in these foreign flelds white missionaries must fraternize with them should they go and to avoid this Negroes are kept out {s the crime of the day, so far as the church {fs concern- ed.

Williams of Baltimore and a number of ladies, representing the wo- men’s auxiliary bodies. The entertainment of the visitors was ably looked after by Rev. Charles Henry Trusty, the eloquent and popu- lar pastor of the Lafayette church. The services on Sunday were largely attended by visitors from the various churches jn New York, Brooklyn, New- ark, N.

Preston Taylor, Founder of Greenwood Park and Leader In * Many Good Movements For Racial Advancement, Has Done Much Prac- tical Work In 2 Quiet Way. The Rey. Preston Taylor of Nash- ville, Tenn. has perhaps contributed more to the welfare of our people in the community fn which he Ives than any other member of the race In Ten pessee. That is saying a great deal of one man, for it will be remembered that in Nashville live a long list of our people who have national reputations. ‘This is no disparagement of men like Dr. R. F. Boyd. Hon. J. C. Napier, Dr. R. H. Boyd and Benjamin J. Carr nor of any of thoxe men who bave labored for the welfare of thelr people and who are yet doing It Rev. Mr. Taylor bas not been in the Mmelight. He has worked steadily on until now he Is one of the most pros perous Negroes Ip the south, being va Mlously rated at from $75,000 to $100, 000.

The story of the establishment of Greenwood park and Greenwood ceme- tery makes interesting reading. It was through many hardships and adversi- ties that the colored people of Nash- ville have what is In every respect the finest and best appointed burial ground in the south. There is no white ceme- tery in Nashville that surpasses Greenwood for beauty. It is kept in shipshape order at an enormous ex- penditure. At Greenwood park our people have every facility for amusement and quietude that can be found in any other park in the city, and it was only by the expenditure of about $5,000 out of bis own pocket the past summer, which was necessary to construct the roadway and purchase right of way, that the Rey. Mr. Taylor was able to get the street railway company to ex- tend its lines to the park. As a consequence the Tennessee state fair for the first time was placed on a paying basis, and now the colored people of the city flock to Greenwood park in the warm summer evenings. Rev. Mr. Taylor bas performed a sig- nal service to the colored people of Nashville in the maintenance of Green- wood park. There one finds the usual amusements to be found in other parks—a miniature zoo, the merry-go- round, skating rinks, shooting galleries and ap auditorium and grand stand. The colored state troops hold their ennual encampment In Greenwodd park. The state fair is also held there. Plans are now on foot to establish & national Chautauqua for six weeks during the summer under the direction of Bishop Evans Tyree. | Educator's Night at Literary Circle Following its plans for the fall term, the Concord Literary circle, Brooklyn, is preparing its program for Educators and Students’ night. which will be held on Thursday evening, Nov. 10.

The general discussion which is now going the rounds among Afro-Americans in most all sections of the country as to the wisdom of members of the race affiliating in any way with the Democratic party recalls an incident which occurred between Grover Cleveland during his first term as president and B. K. Bruce, who was then register of the treasury. As Mr. Bruce was a Republican, there was much speculation on the part of politicians as to whether he would be reappointed by Mr. Cleveland and again as to the propriety of his accepting to serve under a Democratic administration should the president see fit to make the appointment. Early in his administration President Cleveland sent for Mr. Bruce and offered to reappoint him, but the register pointed out to the president that the colored people would never have any more confidence in him if he consented to hold a federal office under a Democratic administration. Mr. Bruce's frankness astonished the president, who, as the story runs, told him that the time would certainly come in the future when members of the Negro race would not consider it unmanly or unwise to affiliate with the Democratic party in an official capacity. One need only to look at conditions as they exist today to see the truth of Mr. Cleveland's prophecy. Notice the thick rubber tread "A" and puncture strips "B" and "D," also rim strip "II" to prevent rim cutting. This tire will outlast any other make—SOFT, ELASTIC and EASY RIDING.

Deed of Property Filed In Clerk's Office at Poughkeepsie. The Colored Orphan Asylum and Association For the Benefit of Colored Children In the City of New York will be located at Unionvale, N. Y., instead of Rhinebeck, as formerly announced. A deed to the Unionvale property was filed in the county clerk's office at Poukhkeepsie during the week ending Oct. 22. A splendid tract of farm land is connected with the property. Farming will be carried on, and the managers expect to raise enough produce to support the institution during the winter. The trustees of the association have experienced much difficulty in securing a final site for the asylum. Having received the deed to the present property, it is believed that there will be no further trouble and that the work will go smoothly on in the future. There are many wealthy and influential white people in the neighborhood in which the institution is located. Some are favorably disposed toward the work, while others are not. However, there need be no fear from prejudice. If the asylum is properly conducted in the future, as it has been in the past, with its added facilities, it will be a credit to the city and of great help to the hundreds of children whom it shelters.

Murray's Encyclopedia of the Race Nearing Completion. Murray's historical and biographical encyclopedia of the colored race throughout the world, upon which Daniel E. Murray, assistant librarian of congress, has been working for the past fifteen years, is about ready to be published. It will tell of the progress and achievements of the race from the earliest times down to the present. It has over 20,000 biographical sketches of men and women of the race in every age of the world. There are also sketches of the authors of the 6,000 and more books and pamphlets written by members of the race which they have contributed to the literature of the world. Another feature of the encyclopedia is a synoptical account of all the works of fiction by Caucasian authors that deal with the race question. The work will be published by the World's Cyclopedia Publishing company in five volumes. It will be the most complete and valuable piece of literature so far brought out which deals with the history and progress of the race the world over. --- LIFE AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE NATIONAL OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS T.

Centanary of the Martyred Statesman to Be Generally Observed. The announcement by the New England Suffrage league of its intention to observe the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Charles Sumner on Friday, Jan. 6, 1911, will no doubt meet with the hearty approval of all public spirited citizens throughout America. The league appeals to the country at large to hold a similar celebration in all the large cities, towns and villages. The Boston celebration is to be in cooperation with the National Independent Political league and the citizens' committee, to be held all day with three sessions. The celebration is planned to begin with a morning session in the public hall of the Bowdoin school, west end, which stands on the site where Mr. Sumner was born. C. H. Plummer, president of the league, and his associates have announced the following partial program: The city of Boston has been petitioned to recognize the celebration. The mayor and other city officials have been invited to attend the celebration in a body. The school committee has been asked to order appropriate exercises for that day in all the schools. Among those invited to speak are Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury, Dr. Horace Bumstead, Aionzo Meserve, Colonel N. P. Hallowell, Francis J. Garrison, Miss Alice Blackwell, Charles E. Zueblin, Edwin D. Mead, W. W. Doherty, Hon. Moorfield Storey, Bishop W. F. Mallalieu, Frank Sanborn, Hon. A. H. Grimke, E. H. Clement, Rev. A. A. Berle, Rev. J. F. Rowley, Professor A. B. Hart, Rabbi Eichler, the governor, the mayor and others. The surviving children of the late George T. Downing, who held Senator Sumner's hand at death, are invited as special guests. Further details will be in the hands of the combined citizens and league's committee. SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION IN FLOURISHING STATE. Miss I. L. Moorman Speaks at Forty-second Annual Meeting. While the political situation in the various states and municipalities throughout the country is engaging the attention of the male portion of our citizens, our female adherents are none the less active. The woman suffrage movement is gaining strength both in numbers and in influence. Its advocates seem determined not only to get a fair hearing, but to get the ballot. This was thoroughly demonstrated at the recent convention of the New York State Suffrage association held at Niagara Falls Afro-American women were ably represented by Miss Irena L. Moorman of Brooklyn. Miss Moorman is the organizer for the Afro-American branch of the Political Equality association. of which Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont is president. As a duly elected delegate Miss Moorman was called upon by the president of the convention to speak, although not on the program of speakers. In responding to the request Miss Moorman said in part: Madam President and Members of the New York State Suffrage Association-To be asked to speak or say anything about my department of the work I can assure you is a surprise to me. However, I bring you greetings from our people. The first public invitation was given to the colored women and men by Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont of New York in the Mount Olivet Baptist church at a mass meeting held under the auspices of the Colored Woman's Business League of New York, at which time Mrs. Fannie Garrison Villard and others spoke. Mrs. Belmont welcomed us to her headquarters, 505 Fifth avenue, and told me as organizer if I would organize a club of 100 she would give us headquarters. Our first public meeting was held on Feb. 6, 1910, and we now have 111 members. Colored people for some reason are always used as a plank or an issue in all political organizations of white people, whether Democratic or Republican. Our men have been walking on a string of promises for the last forty-eight years with but a few exceptions. You claim that the women are the weaker of the sexes. You also say that "equal suffrage means the square deal for every people and the square deal is the suffrage movement." If you mean all you say I can assure you that you will have the fullest support of our best men and women. You owe the square deal to us because our men in the time of Garrison, Sumner, Phillips and other white men who gave up their lives for justice went to war and dyed the American flag in their blood that the women of his race, along with himself, might get the square deal. Remember, don't do anything for us because we are colored men and women, but make it humanitarian because it is right, and, remember, we are working for the good of all humanity regardless of color. The following officers were unanimously elected for the ensuing year: President, Harriet May Mills; first vice president, Mrs. Arthur L. Livermore, Yonkers; recording secretary, Mrs. Nicolas Shaw Fraser, Geneseo; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Roxana B. Burrows, Andover; treasurer, Mrs. William M. Ivins, New York; auditors, Mrs. D. M. Osborne, Auburn; Mrs. Henry Villard, New York. ST. MONICA'S MISSION. Another Roman Catholic Church In the West For Afro-Americans. Within the past decade the Roman Catholic church in the United States has gained a large following among Afro-Americans. New impetus was given in this direction in the early spring of this year by Father John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic board for mission work among Afro-Americans throughout the country. It is Father Burke's aim to raise $100,000 annually until a sufficient number of suitable edifices shall have been erected for worship and for the maintenance of schools for the education of those who are to study for the priesthood and subsequently become leaders in the work among Afro-Americans. There has been a Roman Catholic church for our people in St. Louis, Mo., for the past twenty-five years. Another was opened in a cottage in Kansas City, Mo., the latter part of October. It is stated that a new edifice will soon be erected in its stead at a cost of $30,000. Miss Katherine Drexel of Philadelphia recently gave $8,000 toward the sum necessary for the erection of the new building. This enabled Father Burke and those associated with him to begin the work in Kansas City sooner than was expected. In speaking of the possibilities of the movement, Father Burke says the Negro needs the Catholic church and it is our duty to convert and educate him. The church in Kansas City will be known for the time being as St. Monica's mission. Miss M. COWDEN. Hair Dressing PARLORS. Shampooing, cutting and curling. Hair work made to order.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO."

SOCIAL SMOKER BY ROEBUCKS Members of Abyssinia Lodge Open Season Auspiciously Growth In Members and Influence of the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks Noted—Spirit of Friendship and Co-operation Pervaded Members and Guests. By N. BARNETT DODS&N. One of the most enjoyable social events among the many secret societies in Greater New York recently was the social smoker which was given by Abyssinia lodge, No.1, of the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks of America. The lodge has been in existence a little over two years, during which time it has grown considerably in numbers and in influence. The order is unlike any other secret society organization among our people in that its constitution, ritual and modus operandi are original and do not ape those of other secret unions. The Roebucks are making rapid progress in the north and south, where lodges have been instituted. Plans are now shaping for a membership campaign in various sections where the merits of the order have not become fully known to the public. Its ritualistic ceremony and the benefits derived from being a member are among the chief features of the organization. One of the things which added to the success of the smoker and which P. gave much encouragement to members was the presence of some of the most prominent members of the order of Elks and other organizations in New York. A spirit of friendship and co-operation pervaded every member, and visitors felt they were truly in the house of their friends. their friends. The address on "Fraternity," which was delivered by Baobab Chief Clarence F. Le Garr, is calculated to do the order much good. Chief Le Garr said in part: Fellow Workers, Visitors and Gentlemen of the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Roebucks of America and Elsewhere. Incorporated—It is my pleasing duty to speak a few words to you tonight on the subject of fraternity. In this world, as most of us are aware, no man liveth to himself. The hermit perhaps accomplishes this, but few of us care to be hermits. There is a joy and an inspiration for us all in the world and its affairs, no matter how humble we may be. When we have fraternity we have an added joy, since the selfish element is eliminated. The members of any order are bound to become interested each in the other through the agency of fraternity or, if you please, brotherhood, and when this is so every man is drawn toward his fellow, and the interest of one is the interest of all. THE STATESMAN, DENVER, CO_ORADO. Fraternity stands for law and order. It finds a reflection in the family, in society, in the church, in the state and all through the complex life of this great country of ours. And yet fraternity is by no means an entirely modern institution. The good Samaritan had something of the fraternal about him when he went to the man who in journeying from Jerusalem to Jericho fell among the thieves, who not only stripped him of his raiment, but left him half dead by the wayside. Fraternity led him to bind up the wounds of the unfortunate man rejected by the priest and the Levite and to set him on his own beast, take him to an inn and provide for his entertainment until his recovery. We may, all of us, well take a leaf out of the good Samaritan's book and follow, as we may, in his footsteps. W. P. Moore, who spoke on Roebuckism, said: Roebuckism means progress not only from the standpoint of its precepts, but also from the community through the "new ideas" and modern methods it infuses in the promotion of "community cooperation," laying stress on principles worthy of consideration and emulation, for as surely as the sun rises and sets so will be the recognition of our principles and its in the premises. We are situated within the zone of progress. It devolves upon us to take the initiative and unite in originality, prove to the world that we can accomplish something without following the example of that which some one else has mapped out. We are as a fraternity bound together by a deed of racial copartnership, mutualization of interests, the phraseology of which constantly reminds us of our obligations individually and collectively. For instance, our rules and regulations warn us against the dangers on which many fraternities have split, counsel the patient answer, condemn selfishness, encourages origination, embrace religion and warn against dissension, and each embodies the wisdom and experiences of the men who founded the institution of Roebuckstm. Among others who spoke were John Edward Bruce, "Why I Am a Roebuck;" Charles Henson, "The Need of Roebuckism;" A. Jerome Loring, "The Definition of Co-operation." A Hint to the Wise is Sufficient. Speaking editorially of the local election to be held this fall in Springfield, Ill., Editor E. L. Rodgers of the Forum says ordinarily we are Republican, and yet our county officers are the servants of the people of all parties. We can honestly say that in our judgment the colored people should not forget Judge Murray. We know Judge Murray has been a friend to our race. JOHNSON VANQUISHED. Easily Beaten by Barney Oldfield In Automobile Race Oct. 25. The much talked of and much postponed automobile race between Barney Oldfield and Champion John Arthur Johnson was finally run at Sheepshead Bay. New York. Oct. 25. resulting in an easy victory for Oldfield. There were many admirers of the champion heavyweight pugilist at the track to encourage him in his brave effort to give the auto speed king the most interesting time of his life. Few expected Johnson to win, but all seemed to admire his bravery. Mr. Oldfield said after the race was over: "There is no reason why Johnson should not develop into a good rider with track experience and a high powered racing car. I am getting old, and it was much wiser for me to win from him today than to take a chance on losing to him a year or so hence. "His ambition and persistence would certainly have caused him to try to get to the top if I had ignored him. Now I am on my way to Atlanta to win another battle from the American Automobile association."

The tariff and the high price of living are complained of generally and have turned normally republican states into democratic. Old Massachusetts and Ohio are electing democratic governors. Even Pennsylvania goes republican by only 30,000. Here at home the initiative and referendum has been popular enough to win the state for democracy. In Denver county the republican ticket suffered from the third party movement. All in all the republicans have little to be thankful for, except it be a sound castigation which should set them in proper trim for making a winning fight two years hence. Continued power is not so productive of a critical search for what is best, as is such a crushing defeat as we have received. CENTURY OF ACTIVITY. New York African Society For Mutual Relief Elects New Officers. Perhaps the oldest organization for mutual uplift among our people in the United States, secret societies excepted, is the New York African Society For Mutual Relief, with headquarters in New York city. The society was founded and a charter issued to those forming the nucleus to the organization in 1807. During the antislavery agitation and through the civil war the society rendered valuable assistance to the operators of the underground railroad, and also during reconstruction days, when at times it was found to be quite unsafe for many of our people even in New York. Edward V. C. Eato, who is one of the best known men in the north among members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and in Masonic circles, has been president of the society continuously for twenty-five years. At the recent annual election of officers Mr. Eato declined the use of his name. The newly elected officers of the society are: President, Charles H. Lansing, vice president, Henry Cunningham; secretary. S. Williams; board of directors. William Russell Johnson, chairman; William C. Green, Charles T. Smith, James Conick and Vernon C. Murray.

Holmes, former pastor of Scotts will attend the grand Mortgage Burning Celebration at the Peoples M. E. church, Colorado Springs this week. He will probably remain over Sunday and preach for the Rev. W. R. Stephens, pastor. The church and parsonage has been paid entirely out of debt. The church is enjoying unusual prosperity under the leadership of this energetic young minister. The Peoples church just closed a most successful revival, over thirty were converted and reclaimed and twenty added to the church. Rev. Wallace was invited to attend this grand celebration, but could not on the account of pressing duties in his own appointment. We send them our congratulations upon this gigantic effort in wiping away an indebtedness of more than $1,500 in less than six months' time.
