HOWARD UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT GORDON'S REGENER ATING ADMINISTRATION GIVING NEW LEASE ON .LIFE o the Race's Foremost Institution for Higher Education-Head, Heart and Hand Natural Allies, and Education For Service the Slogan. z Our Special Correspondent With the advent of Rev. John Gordon, D. D., as president of Howard University at Washington, D. C., that time honored institution has begun a new lease of life, and as taken on a more truly national aspect. This is as it should be, and all will rejoice at the fortunate turn of affairs which brought to the school bearing the name of grand old Gen. O. O. Howard, such a splendid christian gentleman, who stands for the same broad, liberal and humane principles, and who is so exceptionally well equipped by fifty character, deep scholarship, ripe experience and sympathetic environment to control the destinies of the race's foremost institution for its higher education. Just in the prime of life and in touch with the progressive spirit of the age, D. Gordon brings to Howard University the elements of the regeneration that it has long DR. JOHN GORDON, President Howard University. created-new ideas, new energies, broader fields of endearment and a quicker pace along the high ways of practical thought and blood filling culture. The son of Mr. Alexander Gordon, a sometime leading business actor of Pittsburgh, Pa., and who for forty years was prominent as a friend of the black man, and an ardent patron of his education. Dr. Gordon is a natural optomist in matters touching the Negro's mental and moral development, and he frankly confesses that he was moved to accept this unsought position, and presiden the presidency of Tabor College, Iowa, because he entertained great hopes for the future of the colored people in America. He felt that he could be of greater usefulness in a vast constructive work that as scarcely been started, and which abounded in such unlimited possibilities for the uplift of the colored youth, not only of Washington, but extending to every one of the race throughout the length and breadth of this country, and reaching out to all of our new possessions in the islands of the sea. He regarded the task as a sacred heritage from an abolitionist father. Dr. Gordon has received degrees from the best colleges, including Yale, and is master of numerous branches of secular and ecclesiastical knowledge. He has filled several prominent pastorates in the West, serving with distinction, and has held the chair of ecclesiastical history with marked credit in the Omaha Theological Seminary. He is also an author of no mean repute. While proud of the classical system to which Howard University is most conspicuously devoted Dr. Gordon believes heartily in the education of the head, and heart, and hands, and takes no part in the uncalled for magnetism between higher and industrial education. In full sympathy with the purposes of Howard the new president has even the theological, the medical, the law, and other departments a critical examination, with a view of retaining all of the excellent features in vogue, and to discover, possible, some means of improving their facilities and increasing their efficiency. The university's scope will be broadened and enlarged wherever inadequencies are noted, and the complaints set forth some time ago will no longer find a peg to rest upon. Howard's trustees may regard themselves as especially fortunate in being able to secure such an accomplished head as Dr. Gordon, and they will take pleasure in redeeming their pledge to give his every effort their true and loyal support. He is fully alive to the importance to the race and to the government of an institution that can point to such splendid achievements as can Howard University, and no one is more anxious than he that its curriculum should sweep the entire circle of academic and professional courses, with all the necessary appliances and auxiliaries. He is solitous that it be entirely worthy of those who have given the best within them for its perpetuation, and of its commanding position under the shadow of the dome of the Nation's Capitol. It is a matter of record that Howard University has turned out about one half of the colored lawyers and one third of the colored doctors in the United States. It has furnished five members of congress. The registrarship of the treasury of the United States, the highest appointive position which a colored man has ever held under the federal Government, is filled by a Howard alumnus. It has 2,000 graduates, and 20,000 sometime students scattered over the face of the earth. In fact, men and women bearing the impress of this inter-national temple of learning are found in every section and in every eclume, occupying exalted stations of honor and influence, and force most in all spheres of activity, calling for constant, earnest and enobling service. Dr. John Gordon will more than maintain this proud record. Under his generous, yet virile administration, a new inspiration has taken hold of both faculty and student body, and it is safe to predict an unexamplied era of solid growth and enduring prosperity. The cause of Howard University is the cause of the people. Revs. T. Athens Weathington and Jesse B. Colbert are writing able arguments in Star of Zion, pointing out the crying necessity for the election of two bishops at the St Louis general conference, while the no less elquent Dr W. H Goler says 'nay, nay,' and urges the pressing financial de-mands of Livingstone College and the wants of superannuated preachers, widows and orphans and home and foreign missions in opposition to an increase of expense. Bishop Hood will stand for one new prelate as successor to the lamented Pettey. Bishops Walters and Clinton, ever alive to the progress, natural expansion and development of Zionism, are frankly committed to the election of two bishops, making ten in all. This is none too many consecrated leaders of an aggregation of 600,000 souls scattered from ocean to ocean. The Pacific Coast and the Middle West are not being covered as they should be to secure the best results. In the meantime the sentiment for two active men grows space and Drs J. S. Caldwell and J. W. Smith are smiling wondering how they will look clad in the fine panaply of the Episcopal toga. SHARPS AND FLATS. The "Black Dowis" is somewhat overdue. The separation of the races is not an open question. It is impossible. Education for the poor whites is as press, ing a necessity as instruction for the Negro. A strong suspicion is prevalent that the average "boy preacher" is a monumental fake. And William Monroe Trotter still insists that he is not crazy, Mr. Fortune to the contrary notwithstanding. J. Will Cole, formerly of the pension office at Washington, is doing brilliant editorial work on the Boston Colored Citizen. James Jeffries is unwilling to fight a first-class Negro pugilist for tear the championship of the fistio ring may pass from the white rac. Col. Harry S. New of Indiana would just about suit the country at large for secretary of the Republican National committee, to succeed Col. Perry S Heath. "Brain-fag," the newest society alliment, imported directly fr m London, has not yet reached our "chappies" of the dusky complexion—for obvious reasons. A direful calamity is going to happen some of our colored printers if they do not earn to read manuscript more carefully and make fewer typographical errors. That girl student of a Baltimore school who was so badly "done up" by her female INJUSTICE MOBIS DISTRACHISEMENT PREJUDICE ENVY RACE-HATRED BUINS OF SLAVERY POVERTY LABOR OPPOSITION. THE WAGRO Haywood 03 classmates for the abominable practice of tattling, got just what was coming to her. These are the days when the rug man comes around to the side gate and sells the thrifty housewife a $2 combination of cotton, scrap and crazy hues for $7.50—on the installment plan. The crying demand for wives comes across the weary wastes from Washington state, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Kansas and Arizona. There is yet hope for the excess female population of Washington Cty, including her charming schoolmarmas. We are not totally disfranchised in Alabama. Despite the high premium placed upon the suffrage, there are 2,700 registered Negro voters, and there would be more if those possessing the requisite education or property presented themselves for the certificates. Hair tonies and preparations that treat the skin heathilyly are alright, but the unnatural straighteners and black skin removers which break off passable hair and ruin average complexions are abominations before the Lord. Sensible men and women of the race are giving them a wide berth. West Virginia has not a very large Negro population, but she has a perfect right to grow "chesty" over the fact that she can claim as her own the head of the Knights of Pythias of the country in the person of Samuel W. Starks, and the chief executive of the Odd Fellows, J. McHenry Jones. Booker T. Washington has begun his annual Northern campaign in the interest of Tuskegee Institute. The current expenses for the current year are estimated to be $155,000. White philanthropists will do their part, but the Negro should be willing to make some sacrifices to help himself to educational, moral and business betterment. With three Methodist general conferences, the Republican National convention, World's Fair, National Afro-American Council, National Press convention, Negro Business League, Women's National association and the Sociological Society on hand, to say nothing of the national campaign and election, the year 1904 promises to be a lively session for the brethren. Hon. Judson W. Lyons, register of the treasury, is a man of solid, enduring qualities. His life, as a lawyer, political leader and public official, suggests intellectual and personal weight and firmness rather than the showy or spectacular. We are glad to note that Mr. Lyons has been elected a member of the American Academy of Politics and Social Science, being the first colored man so honored. It goes without the saying that the compliment was most worthily bestowed. 房 Notwithstanding the absence of Roscoe Conkling Murray Simmons from the Northern press arena, his facile pen has not "dum gone broke." His literary genius is scintillating effulgenly in the columns of the Mound Bayou (Miss.) Demonstrator, founded by Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery and continued by Mr. A. P. Hood. Mr. Simmons has been proving quite a factor in Mississippi's official life as private secretary to Mr. Montgomery, who is receiver of public money at Jackson. The newspapers tell us of a rich New Yorker who is paying $5,000 for an ordinary man's ear. It is a problem how much Major Charles R. Doulgast would be willing to pay about now for a small fraction of President Roosevelt's ear in order to tell him that the poor depositors of the defunct Capital Savings bank at Washington have not received a cent of their money—yet one of the directors held to be chily responsible for the crash has been given a promotion in the government service. Fred. R. Moore, general organizer of the National Negro Business League, is the right man in the right place. His circular calling upon members of existing local branches to keep the purposes of the league alive will go far to stimulate the business spirit among us and lead others to take hold for next year. We hope the time will come when circumstances will justify the organization in employing a man like Mr. Moore, paying him a liberal salary for his whole time and keeping him on the road in the interest of the cause of Negro commerce. All colored people will hear with regret that Mr. Justice John M. Harlan is to retire from the United States Supreme Court. We hope he is not to go immediately, however. The bench's ablest member is Justice Harlan and he never fails to find in the sternest law an interpretation that offers grains of comfort to the poor and downtrodden elements of the human family. Liberty will lose her true exemplar in our court of last resort in the passing of John M. Harlan. R W. THOMPSON. ONE OR MORE BISHOPS NEEDED. A Wonderful Growth of the Church- Views of a Layman. Judging from the wonderful growth of the A. M. E. Church in the last four years it is clearly evident that one or more new bishops will have to be elected at the next general conference, in order that the work, now very heavy, might be kept up without interruption. At the present time the duties devolving on the bishops must be onerous indeed, since they are compelled to do almost twice the amount of work usually required by other denominations. As a condition of election to the bishopric ability, faithful service and Christian character should be taken into consideration. And while the names of many excellent gentlemen have been discussed in this connection it may not be out of place to mention that of a christian gentleman whose success since his ordination gives him, in the estimation of his friends, a prominent place on which to stand as a candidate for the bishopric. Some of the men talked about appear to come from different sections of the country, but, fortunately for our candidate, his reputation as a church builder, a litter of mortgages on church property, and a man of great executive ability, as shown by his successful management of the book concern, is known throughout America. Certainly, when a man has given to the cause of African Methodism forty of the best years of his life, as this man has done, during which time he has been eminently successful in the highest sense of the term, it is but natural for his friends to assume that, should the electorate see fit to elevate him to the bishopric, a position of exalted dignity to which many aspire, he would, guided by the same unselfish motives which have actuated him throughout his career, so manage the affairs of this high office that those electing him may never have occasion to doubt the wisdom of their choice. The gentleman we have the honor to propose is the Rev. T. Wellington Henderson, D. D., the eloquent pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York City, whose parishons, composed of some of the most influential members of the connection, would delight in seeing their pastor elected to the house of bishops M. L.

A CONDENSED PUBLICATION OF Many Important Happenings of the Past Few Days--A Comprehensive Review Most Likely to Prove of Interest to Our Many Readers. New Albany, Ind., Special.—The annual election of trustees for Jones' Chapel A: M. E. Zion Church resulted in the following persons being chosen: Charles Skillman, Samuel Lyles, George Russell, Sam Mucker, Abram Hughes, Samuel Kinchlow, John Wood and T. H. Johnson. The Sunday school concert of this church last Monday night was a glittering success. The child showed to great advantage in the drill and chorus work. Mrs. Lillian Johnson presided at the piano, while Mr. Johnson ably conducted the exercises.—The recent real estate purchase by Dr. W. O. Vance of the property at the corner of Oak and Bank streets was a splendid bargain. It is a two story frame tenement of thirty rooms, the plot covering about forty feet on Oak, and facing nearly a block on Bank street. The entire building is occupied, and pays a handsome rental. Dr. Vance bought the property under the hammer at less than one fifth of its estimated value, $5,000, and the transaction is regarded as a financial triumph. Extensive repairs are being made and when completed, the place will be as attractive and good as new.—President M. W. Sparks has been instructed by the directors of the National Federation of Civic Rights to arrange for a public meeting in the interest of the organization at an early date. It is likely that the Second Baptist Church will be secured. Judges John H. Statsenburg and George B. Cardwill are solid citizens of this community, and a stunned friend of the Negro race. The race, however, please its cancanian friends best when a strong disposition is manifested toward helping itself, and baking up their assistance by constant and well planned personal effort.—John H. Yanthis has purchased a house and lot on Cherry street. Mrs. W. O. Vance, assistant principal at Soribner High School, possesses literary talents of the order. She has been contributing a series of articles to the Zion Methodist on "Obstacles in Missionary Work," which show great depth of though, close observation and wide reading. Mrs. Vance is not only a teacher of rare gifts and a writer of force but shines as a home maker and social factor of a most pleasing quality.—The reception tended Rev. W. H Snowden, of Jacob Street Tabernacle, Louisville, by Mrs. M. E. Washington, was the most brilliant social function of the season.

BISHOPRIC THE INSIDE HISTORY OF A Few ASPIRANT CANDIDATES AS THECONFERENCE DRAWS NEAR Wire-Pulling and Questionable Methods are Resorted to by Some of the Laymen of the Connection-Chappelle Plays his Hand. (To be Continued.) When such controversies arise as one now going on in the A. M. E. Church there is only one wise course to take. The wise course is to take it for granted that the truth will come out in the end anyhow, and to cut the fight short by telling the truth right away. The controversy that exists was begun and is kept up by Dr. Chappelle. Dr. Chappelle is, in my opinion, a fairly good brother who has gone astray. He has audacity and some courage; he has sound health and much energy, and has always worked for his church and for himself. At the present time he is hard at work to prepare the way for his election to the Episcopate in 1908, at the general conference to follow the one that meets at Chicago next May. Among the things he seeks are the following—to make sure of, his re-election to his present office, to effectively get Dr. H. T. Johnson, Dr. Nichols and Dr. Welsh out of his way. When he runs for the Episcopate he does not want South Carolina to be called upon by any strong man for support for either the bishopric or a general office. His methods are subtle, and are all the more effective. He is making Dr. Welsh commit suicide and is fixing for Dr. H. T. Johnson a scaffold. The result may be that Dr. Johnson will heed his real friends in time, and will win out, and that too in such a way as will place him under no obligations to his traitor friend, Chappelle. Dr. Chappelle is mixing up in the affairs of almost every conference in the church, and is playing critic and censor over all of the bishops and general officers. Under the guise of the Sunday School Union, either with the approval of his board or in defiance of his board, time will reveal which, he takes Sunday School Union funds and publishes a paper called the Monitor. That paper, as will be clearly shown, is not run for the church, but is absolutely the personal organ of Chappelle. In it he has abused Bishops Smith, Grant, Tanner, Lee, Derrick and a host of ministers. In no instance has he allowed the privilege of effective reply. That one thing shows that Chappelle is willing to misuse his office and funds under his control for personal ends, and that he lacks honor, and is a moral coward. The man who will take the money of the church and use it to run a paper, in which he tries to hush the mouth of all who dare to differ with him, and in which he will publish the most false praise of himself and friends, and then deliberately refuse to allow those concerned to reply, is both a coward and a dishonorable man. There is no good man or woman on earth who will not admit that this is true. I am now going to give two chapters of the biography of Dr. Chappelle. If, when the church knows him, he turns out to be a man who deserves confidence is in Nashville, Tenn., and is doing a business of $60,000 annually. Sergeant Hawkins, colored, of the Twenty fourth regiment, stationed at Ft. Missoula, Mont., winner of the first prize at the recent Seagirt tournament in the East, is now ranked among the most remarkable rifle shots in the world. The Georgia Baptist Printing Company in Augusta, Ga., pays $3,000 annually to employees and does a business that averages $567 per month. Hon. Henry T. Eubanks was elected to the legislature from Cuyahoga county by nearly 6,000 plurality. He will be the only Afro-American representative in the Ohio legislative body. The Jacksonville (Fla ) Business Professional Men's League, with 553 members, has invested, not including real estate, $129,000. and respect then I step aside. All I now undertake is to let the church know him. Chappelle first came to general notice as the uncompromising champion of the election of Dr. C. S. Smith to the Episcopate. He stuck to this until it was accomplished. When it was done, Bishop Smith turned right around and helped Chappelle into the office which he had just stepped up from to the bishopric. One incident of that history. Bishop Gaines was opposed to the election of Dr. Smith. One of the most bitter critics of Bishop Gaines prior to the general conference of 1900 was Chappelle. Now for chapter number When Chappelle had secured his long sought office he immediately began to look higher. The election of Dr. Smith provoked much criticism from Dr. H. T. Johnson and all of the bishops. Drs. Tice, Astwood and many ministers also joined in the protests. Dr. Chappelle found things pretty hard for him in his new office, and soon found a pretext for turning against Bishop Smith and joining with the popular side. Chappelle never does anything in a half-hearted way, and when he turned against Bishop Smith he went for him without gloves. For some months he made the bishop's path a rough one, but the bishop had friends whose aid he did not have to ask. They soon let Chappelle know that the facts about the house he had bought, the wages he was keeping in the family and many other things were known. Chappelle surrendered at the feet of Bishop Smith. But he had many other strings to his bow which he dared not to neglect. One of the chief tools used by Chappelle in electing Bishop Smith was Dr. Leake. Chappelle and Bishop Smith rewarded Leake by making him business manager of the book concern. They had promised him the office held by Dr. Parks, but the wily Parks shut the door. The manager of the book concern, Dr. T. W. Henderson had made the best record of any man who had ever held the office. He was the only manager who had the record of paying the hands each week and never having a note go to protest. In the presence of Dr. H. T. Johnson, the chief creditor of the book concern, said that the credit of Dr. T. W. Henderson would be good with him for $5,000, but that Leake is to no more be respected than the Lombard street bums. However, to get back, Smith and Chappelle "played square" with Leake and put him in. When Leake took hold there was $500 in the bank, all hands were paid and the "concern" had credit everywhere. It was not long before Leake began a war on the editor. The editor soon began to tell of the private life of Leake, and of his official acts. An investigation followed. Leake was found to be a defaulter, a thief and a clumsy ignoramus. The board demanded his resignation, and he gave it at sun-rise the morning after the night it was asked. Sobbing like a baby he also confessed that he was in trouble at his home about the money of an estate, of which he was administrator. Here I mercifully draw the veil Chappel comes on the scene again and meets the bishop's council shortly after Leake's removal. J. M. HENDERSON, D. D. 125 Highland-st, Rox. Boston, Mass. Richard S.

Hotel Matters from Toledo. Toledo, O., Special.—Since resigning from the Boody House I have visited Detroit, Grand Rapids, Cleveland and Chicago. I find the sentiment of the hotel men is that the Waiters' Column is not what it once was, and there is a flavor of too much Tucker. The sentiment seems to be partial to a man who has no standing with hotel proprietors, managers or stewards, and more especially with the hotel fraternity. The Freeman is the leading Negro journal in America, and articles should be from the most experienced men on whatever subject they treat. What is wanted is a practical, experienced hotel man to reason and roast the hotel waiters from an intellectual point of view and not express his predjudices alone because all who read his articles don't agree with them. A man who can write on the European as well as the American plan, not from a theoretical standpoint, but from a practical standpoint—like Messrs. Bohn Bros. of the Hotel World, Chicago; A. Melville Lewis, Hotel Life, Cleveland; Messrs. Doolittle and Martyn, The Caterer, New York City. Articles from men who formerly wrote for their papers are blue-penciled because said article carries neither prestige nor weight and adds none to the papers' reputation. Because they have found out that the said writers don't practice what they preach. Negro waiters care little for Negro journals, and read them only when they can peruse the columns of a paper by a progressive, practical man who expresses deep thought and holds prestige in the city of his residence with hotel men and employers. They wait with pleasure the coming of this or that paper because some new invention is to appear. Before John Hearsey died the Hotel World was a text book for the European man. The Caterer is more than interesting because the skill of some of New York's leading artists fills one or more of its pages, treating either service, wines or some advanced form new to the public. My private opinion of Mr. Tucker is that he is an ambitious young man that expects to rise in the hotel world through the columns of the press. The Freeman is the only medium through which he can reach the public, all others having out him out because his theories are not practical. Tom Johnson can deliver as good or a better address than Hanna, but Hanna is more effective because of his experience and the confidence the world (business) which he travels has in his teachings.

Donley, a bright hotel man of Toledo, O., thinks, and rightly, that these petty, personal jealousies, as have recently characterized the writings of Mr. Long et al., are neither edifying nor instructive. Nor are they a profitable investment for The Freeman. A Week's Happenings. Dallas, Tex., Special—Dallas is yet alive. The mayor's election promises to be the hottest ever held here. All the churches report greater financial gains this fall than any previous year. A few of the enterprising colored men are investing in Dallas real estate, and much improvement among the colored people is planned. Parents should see that their children attend school each day.

The reports of the presiding elders and officers of every other department were very flattering; Bishop Turner was assisted by Bishop Abraham Grant of Indianapolis. On Sunday morning at the People's Tabernacle Bishop Grant preached to an audience of five thousand persons. The bishop is very popular here, and people of both races come from far and near to hear him. The Atlanta Independent, a weekly publication started here several months ago by some of our enterprising race men, has taken its place among the leading race journals of the country. Quite a number of our people are leaving here for California and other points in the West. Dr. E. J. Fisher of the Olivet Baptist church at Chicago spent several days in this city last week. He has accepted the call of Mt. Olive Baptist church of this city and will take charge during the spring of next year.

THE RACIAL STATUS. ‘The much appointed Dr. D. W. Cram has been reappointed as Collector at the Port of Charleston, 8.0. Dr. Cram, it 4s understood, has been and ts being op- posed slmply on account of his race; there has been nothing of a serious nature urged against him. It is be- Heved that the President realizes that the final outcome of the case will be the signal for the parting of the ways or the continuation of col- ored men in politics as it concerns con- splouons places, political preferment; the former a condition so destred by those who are careless of the underly- ing principles of the government which accept or reject no individual on ac- count of the color of his skin or the length of his hair. Tho President has right to stand pat for the colored man when his case involves those greater principles of our olvil life, ‘The reflec= tive are aware of the gravity of the situation with {ts thonsands pro and con. But in these aggravating cases where the forcas of right and wrong are apparently nip and tuck then the great reserved principle asserts iteelf. that right and oneare a majority as God and one. lt is needless to say that the avowed ‘opposition to the colored man’s contin- ance as @ political or civic entity of less degree comes from the South where he is in great numbers; it is aleo need- less to say that the Southern opposition sometimes arises from righteons grevi- ‘ances, but it in the main is the reeult of simon pure prejadice which takes form in the abusive utterances so often heard simply because it is @ colored man. The prejadice, singularly enough, has not the tendency to subside with the pro- grees often noted in some localities, bat more like @ red fisg to an angry bull ‘The condition, while true, is not with out {ts qnalifying features—prosperity tosome carries with it airs, notions and manners that are not conventional, or better to eay, not commensurate with the prosperity as measured by the same prosperity enjoyed by others. It is bat one of the little things tbat weigh against—exaggerated importance which 1s apparently unnoticed, but in reality 1s just 60 much contribation to the un- solved end of the problem. It is obvi- ously unfair for us to expect considera- tion, horizontally, 80 to speak, if we ourselves at any juncture fail to grade up tothe line There are other cases of clvil and moral delinquency which ‘we suffsrenmasse more than the whites ‘That the condition is no worse ts the thing for elation, but it goes to say that there are qualifying elements that enter the race problem from either side. And, again, we forget that when it comes to social equality thereis as much opposition within the race as there is against it, not based on morals either ‘This careless regard for a part of the race by @ part of the race surely teaches the lesson of disregard, Ynough, perhaps, of what will be readily termed negative or destructive philosopby. Now for something post- tive. When we state that the colored man Will be appreciated when be appre- ciates himself is perhaps positive and constructive enough. For here hangs the law, eto. Every race and every man should feel that after them—"“the deluge;” not in the sense of undue im- portance as characterized above, but a love for self that fairly keeps it holy, to state it extremely ; not religiously holy, bat clvically, morally, politivally holy; not pharisaioally holy, bat jast as good as other men holy; pot good as some model man, bat as good as men are generally. To do what other men do, generally, is {t; to leave undone what they generally leave undone is the euk. ‘We will be better thought of: When a pair of dice is no longer a racial symbol ‘When n-e g*r-o does not spell chicken. ‘When we are more than that old siaiegee '?

It is said that Congressman Hard wick of Georgia has iatroduced a bill in Con- grees, the objeot of which is the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the con- stitution, and also another proposing a modification of the fourteenth amend- ment. The Georgian is extremely zeal: ous in looking after a part of his con: stituents; he would repeal the fifteenth amendment in order to disfranchise the Negroes and modify the fourteenth amendment to prevent the reduction of Southern representation in Congress. It is very evident that Mr, Hardwick knows just what he wants, and that he is not {mealy-mouthed in making his wants known. bat he will please bear in mind that there are others. He has ‘@ notion that he was born to solve the race problem; but would do it by cut ting the Gordion knot, and be the hero or martyr or what not, rendering his race a service at any rate. Mr. Hardwick will reckon withont his host, but the effrontery of the man! In time of war a peculiar order of men 1s sometimes needed to do a piece of dare deviltry work from which the average man quails, Lut in the time of peace, in the very palaceof justice, euch an individual ought to get a very cool reception. Mr. Hardwick is a congrese- man, and sometimes greater miracles happen, buf he is a congressman, but has he stopped to count the possible cost of his experiment? 1t would be conceding too much to advance reasons as to why the things proposed should be defeated. It is enough to say that the best brains of America printed those amendments there, and if they are to come off, it 1s believed that it will re- quire the best brains of the country to do the job, Mr. Hardwick will not be ased as a stalking horse; it may as well be set down go. Cool off, Mr. Hardwick. From what can be gleaned of the question of increasing the bench of bishops in the A. M. E. charch next year it appears that the strongest oppo: sition to the “yes” side 1s from those who do not have any chance for the honor and are not overly anxious about the other fellow. If a careful analysis is made of the eltuation some such con- clusion will be arrived at. Is the great church going to be menaced by a war between the “ins and onts?” It isa war when men insist emphatically sev- eral months before hand that there will be no inerease in the bench regardless of the fact that some of the bishops may die or become incapacitated even nefore the conference meets. Bishops are cer: tainly excellent risks if av thelr ad- vanced age none die within the next five years. The National Negro Business Men’s League meets in this olty next August something less than a year from this time, but the people are alreaay taking steps looking forward to a great and succesefal meeting. Mr. H L. Sanders, one of the leading business men, eng: gests a parade of floats or in some way show what the business men of Indian apolis are doing. His idea is a good fone, Many business interests might be represented by carriages or other turn ‘outs properly Iaballed, where the floats would be considered appropriate or the cost too great. It is needless to say that the homes and business places of prominent colored people will be in- spected by the visitors; they will be here for that purpnee. ‘The shooting of Andrew H. Green, a prominent New Yorker, by a Negros without doubt regretted by all and no more #0 by none than by the Negroes who, regardless of tne merits of the qnarrel, recognize that a great crime has been committed. In view of the somewhat strained race relations in the country such happening 4s indeed de- plorable and oan only have a depress- ing effect oh the colored people as a whole when viewed in thelr relations to ‘the country. The filmey pretext for shooting Mr. Green by Cornelius M. Williams argues as to his insanity; he laboring under the delusion that Mr Green harbored some woman with | whom he wasenamored. Williams will speedily grace the, “chair” or will be sent to the asylum as an insane man. Rev. Dr. Robert Strange, reotor of St Panl’s Episcopal church, the most arie- tocratic church in Richmond, Va , and ‘the place where Robt. E. Lee and Jeff- ercon Davis attended divine services, Geclared, in a sermon, that Theodore Roosevelt is the purest man in politics today and the highest ideal of an Amer- loan. Dr. Strange is @ distinguished Southern gentleman and his congrega- tion 4s entirely Democratio.—Southern Republican. ‘The color line is in Chicago also, not- ‘withstanding the effort on the part of many to have it appear otherwise. Mr. Poney Moore, a colored man, who is more white than colored, is having trouble with his aristocratic neigbbors of Calumet avenue of that city. ‘They {nsist that the objection is to Mr. Moore's sporting proclivittes rather than his color. It ts thought that when it comes to epcrt that Mr. Moore has ex- cellent company. Information comes that the clty of San Domingo has surrendered to the revolutionists and that the President, Wos y Gil and his ministers took refage on board a German warship.

This was the Negro policy game, which speedily transformed itself into a pray- er meeting when an cffiver was heard outside. While this part of the show was on, the crowd downstairs was al- ‘most as demonstrative as the one higher up.” The above has reference to “Jim Jackson in the Policy Shop,” written and composed by 8. H. Dudiey, who is making quite a bit in the title part. Billy Nichols mimic, formerly with the Patti Co, we met in Atlanta and “he was entertained by Dude Kelley, John Pittman and William Garland.

Toledo, O., Special—The Blade of November 16 says: “Rube Waddell, who has won fame as a baseball piteher, is not likely to startle the theatrical world with his acting, unless he strikes @ faster pace than he demonstratednin his appearance of the role of spécial offi- cer in ‘The Stain of Guilt,’ a typical melodrama, that began a half-week’s engagement at the Burt yesterday. ‘The Stain of Guilt’ carries about all the sensational climaxes the play will stand, but although there are knives and pistols galore, nobody is Killed, a fact which may be said to be the extra- ordinary feature of the creation. Miss Mattle Lockette is a bright, winsome little woman, whose spe-ialty Is a pleas- ing feature of the third act. Mr. Dane, as Harry Slade, the detective, demon- strates his versatility in the double role of a typical tramp and a raving anar- chist, and Mr. Rucker is one of the best colored comedians ever seen in Toledo, ‘The best that can be said of the play is that it pleased the audiences that filled the house at the opening performances.” John Rucker, the great comedian, writes a Toledo admirer, excelled him- self. This being a white show adds greatly to the laurels he has rightfally won in his specialties. Mr. Ruckeg was called back time and time again. Mr. Rucker, in company with his amiable wife, stopped with Albert Speed, 218 N. Erie street. BIRMINGHAM ELKS ENTERTAIN. Representatives of Many Lodges Pros- ent—Troubadours Honored.

I take the papers for your benefit, I am glad to know that you like to read. But what have you Tead lately that seems to interest you ?” Sam—'I was readin’ in that ‘Mon!- tor’ paper somethin’ about somebody robbin’ the church out of some money ; and the ‘Monitor’ man wrote like he was mad abont it.” Grandpap—' 0, yes, that was that man Chappelle at the Nashville Pub- Ushing House. He learned that Bishop Derrick, the bishop up North, woulda't allow some money that belonged to the Publishing House, to be sent. Chap- pelle aidn't like it and he acouses the bishop of wrongdoing.” Sam—‘But, grandpa, will # bishop do wrong ?” Grandpap—‘Son, we don’t like to think that a bishop will do wrong; but they sometimes do some very strange things.” Sam—“Why didn’t the bishop send Mr. Chappelle his money ; do you reck- on he needed it hisself ?"” Grandpap—"No he did not need it, son, We pay our bishops @ good living salary, and 1 am told that Bishop Der- rick is already quite wealthy and lives in great splendor. But I guess he jast didn’t itke that man Chappelle ” Sam—'‘Well, do you ’spose the bishop means to keep Mr Chappelle's money ? Why don’t Mr. Chappelle have him ‘pulied’?” Grandpap—“It ts not Mr. Chappelle's individual money, but it is the money that the people gave him for Chap- pelle.” Sam—What people ?”” Grand pap—“‘All the Sunday school scholars and teachers’ in Bishop Der- riok’s district.” Sam—"Well, why don’t Mr. Chap- pelle write to them and tell them that the bishop didn’t let him have the mon- ey? Maybe they wonld have him ar- rested.” Grandpap—“Ha! ha! son, 1 never heard of a bishop being arrested.

I do not say that Bishop Derrick {6 2 pad man, I never saw him. They tell me that he doesn’t visit the little country places and towns like this. I guess it is e0, for he was on this istrict four years, and I never heard of his being in any small town only as he passed through on the care or when he was holding a conference.” Sam—"Now, here)! Grandpa, here is the ‘Monitor.’ Listen: ‘The expulsion of Revs. Astwood and Thomas, the un- pardonable conspiracy against Dr Leak, the maesacre of Dr. Long,’ ete. What does the ‘Monitor’ man mean by the ‘massacre of Dr. Long’? Did some- body really kill that man ?” Grandpap—“No, he was not killed Uterally; as I told you, I have not kept up with the papers lately; bat I think the ‘Monitor’ man refers to the way that Bishop Derrick or some bishop mistreated that man Long, by sending him to poor appointments, because he didn’t Uke him; or for seme other cause.” Sam—“Bat, grandpa, do bishops ure other people’s money and do spite work, too? I am really surprised. I don't believe our bishop—Bishop Shaffer— would do that, do you 2” Grandpap—‘‘Son, you are asking qnestions too fast. As to your first question, our bishops, as a rule, are strictly honest, hightoned Christian gentlemen. I would not have you be- Meve otherwise, but I am sorry to admit that some of them are capable of doing some very ugly things. As to your second question, Bishop Shaffer is sald ‘to be almost faultless.” Sam—"Grandpa, why do they ever make bad men bishops? Can’t they find enough good men to choose from ?” Grandpap—‘'Son, you have asked a very hard question. I don't know that Ican explain it to your satisfaction, but bad men sometimes resort to bad tricks in order to secure the votes of the men who are to elect them. The good men are tooshonest to do that, and so it happens that # bad man sometimes gets to be a bishop.” Sam—"O, yes, I see now. Well, I am going to watch the papers next ‘week ard see what that ‘Moaltor’ man says again.” | Grandpap—“I am glad to see you be- come interested in what is going on in the chareh.

Is ts impossible to tell whether a col- or is fast before washing, but by far the safest plan is to ‘set’ the color be- fore it goes to the tub for the:first time. One of the best methods of settling deli- cate colors consists in simply making a stroug brine of cold water and salt and soaking the garment from 12 to 24 hours. Of course this should be done just. be. fore going to the laundry, and the salt should not be allowed to dry init.

The social concert at the Flanner Guild was well attended as usual, and the musical program was, indeed, interesting, and enjoyed by all. Misses Morris and Croker rendered beautifully instrumental solos; and Misses Coleman and Kirk held the audience spell-bound by their vocal renditions. Miss Walker, accompanied by Miss Croker on the plano, and Miss Coleman, who sang "Rock of Ages" told the story of an old man who was called to the heavenly choir when he had been churched for disturbing the fashionable choir by his singing in the church to which he belonged. An excellent program will be rendered tomorrow, and all are urged to be in their seats at 5 p. m., the hour for beginning.
