Montana Plaindealer

THE MONTANA PLAINDEALER Vol. I. E MONTANA PLAINDEALER. Address all Communications to The Montana Plaindealer, 19 South Main Street, Helena, Montana. PEACE! PROSPERITY!! UNION!!! Time and patience after all, will complish all things. We could see where it might we been allrlght for two colored igous denominations in a city the e of Helena, but we cannot con- ve why there should be two diffent and distinct masonic lodges, idently the brethren did not dwell gether in peace and harmony. One of the reasons that more business concerns are not put on by our people, they are afraid a squezze, and cannot stand hardships they want to invest a dime in 60 days draw a dividend of per-cent we can never rise in business or establish new enterprises such relics of ignorance and persition predominating. President Roosevelt's address to students at Hampton College significant, and contains therein essential elements which will lead to a better citizenship and a better feeling of helpfulness, one to the other, than anything such hau been said or done in ars. We acknowledge the receipt of invitations to the commencement exercises of Western Tuskegee at Topeka and the Western University at Quindaro. We are indeed sorry that we could not attend, but we are heartily with these two great institutions for the good work they are doing for the uplift of the race. Of all the letters of encouragement we have received from friends and acquaintances from abroad we launched THE MONTANA PLAINDEALER, we must give first due to the criticisms of Ira Smith the Topeka Plaindealer. The one fills us with hope and a higher aspiration to hold our own in the field of Journalism. Doing Something. In our public addresses as well as rough the columns of the PLAIN-ALER we have insisted that if we be and keep pace with this twentieth century progress, that he or as the case may be, must DO SOMETHING and HAVE SOMETHING. We have exhorted at length up the importance of those two words and we believe that we have some of our people to thinking if we succeed in doing that, he is no question but that action I soon be brought about. This week we were shown a iet-from one of the backwoods villas of Montana in which he said I Bass the he is always telling people to DO SOMETHING, there one of our boys down here who DONE SOMETHING in the last t. He has purchased a nice he at a cost of $1,500 and furried it throughout and does not a dollar on it." ow, the man who wrote this er is a man who has in his career he thousands of dollars but he never done anything. He has it always through the world out ambition or hope of doing having something. He hap- pened to attend a meeting where we made an address and it seems that those words DO SOMETHING and HAVE SOLETHING went ringing in his ears and as soon as he leaves Helena and sees in reality what can be accomplished in a short time he conveys the same to us and as good as says that from now on my motto shall be, DO SOMETHING and HAVE SOMETHING. Negroes Hope Lies In Work. President Roosevelt Talks to Students of Hampton Institute and Advises Them to Build Homes. Hampton, Va. May 30.—A notable address was dilivered to the students of Hampton institute to-day by President Roosevelt. Pres. and Mrs. Roosevelt and their party arrived off Old Point Comfort in the Mayflower shortly before 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, and were taken ashore in launches. The president was oscortoed to the veranda of the administration building from which he made his add.ess. Before the address the students sang with remarkable effect "The Great Camp Meeting in the Promised Land." The president applauded heartily and shouted "More, more." The students in response sang "We are Climbing up Jacob's Ladder." President Roosevelt talked extemporaneously an with deep earnestness. He began by saying, after the students had given him a cordial welcome, that they were no anxious for him to visit them than he was to visit the institution. Speaking direct to the Negro students he said: "Now, the first thing upon which I wish to lay emphasis is that a school such as this, which strives to raise the colored man and the colored woman, to make them better men and better women, better citizens, is prominently in the interest of the white man. There is nothing that can be done better for the white man, who is to live side by side with the colored man, than to train that colored man up to be a good citizen. From the stand point of the white man, the safest and best thing that can happen is to have the colored around him thrifty, industrious home-makers and home-keepers. "From the standpoint of the colored man, the only real way to help him is to help him help himself. What this institution does is to help men and women to walk by themselves. The colored man who helps his race most is he who helps teach the members of his race how to conduct themselves with self respect—hard working, intelligent, law-abiding citizens. No race, no nationality ever raises itself by the exhibition of genius in a few men; what counts is character, the character of the average man and the average woman. "You have sent out from Hampton Institute in all something like six thousand graduates and if I remember rightly, there are but two of whom you have records as criminals, and that fact is an answer to the blind people who say that no good will come from educating the Negro. So far is that from the truth that it may be said that the real hope for the Negro as well as the white man, is in education, if only we understand the meaning of education in its proper sense. "It is often said that the true place for the Negro is industrial work. That is the true place for average Negro and it is the true place for the average white man, and we will not get our civilization upon a proper basis until we root out of the mtnd of the average man and average woman, of whatever color, the belief that to become a poor clerk is a better thing than being a fiast class hand worker, a first class mechanic or a first class agricultural laborer "There is one thing I would like especially to impress upon you, it is to advise you to take up work on the farms with the intention of owning them. Take up agricultural work. In doing that you will be following only what the best, most intelligent and most advanced white people are more and more growing to do. "The next thing is to remember that the greatness of the nation, the greatness and success of the people must always depend in the last analysis on the home life, on the family life that is to be found in the average family group. If we have got the right type of average family this nation will be great, every race successful, and if we have not got the right type of family life, nothing else can take its place. In the interest of the colored folks, see to it, colored men here, that you war against criminally in your own race with a particular zeal because that criminality is in the ultimate analysis a greater danger to your race than any other thing can be." Among the members of the regular jury panel for this term in Criminal Court No. 2. Washidgon D. C., is William H. West, who has the distinction of once arresting President Grant. As a member of the police force of the national capital, Mr. West in 1872 took President Grant into custody for driving at a speed which was in violation of the laws of the District.

Read THE PLAINDEALER for the news. In the face of the many important events that have actually taken place in the last few weeks and on the topics of discussion, I am prone to ask the question and at this opportune time. When I read of our constitution and its laws that were moulded and framed by the able and giant thinkers of the Republic, both of the past and the present, I often pause to ask myself—Are we respecting the legislative bodies? Do we reverence the good opinions and just discussions of the past? Of what use are laws that have been certified, ratified, and approved by the people, yet on the day of their enforcement those who are intrusted with its keeping and execution shrink from duty. If such an action is tolerated, then the law only exists in name. We read the good meaning of our law, but we hesitate to put its utility into practice. Curious eyes peeping at the mirror of rectitude from whence they see the shawdow of a race trampled, yet bias to lend a helping hand. The enforcement of the law would be a boon to a down trodden race. But, oh! say does justice in its integrity exist for the Negro? There never was a time when the flush of success and the inspiration to do better was more prevalent in our natiou than now. The religious denominations, the benevolent societies and philanthropic agencies are at work. Missionaries are crossing the ocean to convey the tidings of the gospel to the heathen in the foreign lands. Messages of condolence are written to the suffering Jews of Russia, yet in the very heart of all the benevolent and Christian organizations and under the flag of of civilized, progressive and intelligent nation, human being, men of color, are being murdered, tortured, yes, and burned at the stake. Does the Statue of Liberty hover beneath its arm a retreating place for the Negro? The conststtution and its laws speak with one accord in this favor. Today the world is condemning that portion of our commonwealth that lies below the Mason and Dixon line but it is now time to withdraw this bias conclusion. These crimes are confined to no fixed locality. Years ago the horrible execution of a Negro at Texarkana, Ark., was a feature of discussion and lingered long in the hearts of our domain, but today, not only individuals but nations are shocked at the horrible execution and treble lynchings of Negroes who suffered the pangs of torture equal to that of Texarkana, if not greater, and perpetrated in the very hub of our Republic Must the South bear the brunt of criticism while other guilty districts go free? As ts the guilt or innocence of those victims, is it known? Will it ever be known? I do not hesitate to assume a degree of satisfaction when corrected and reproved by my superiors, but the element that was conspicuous at Springfield, Mo., were far below even the victims of torture. They were simply beings of might moved to action by their bias hatred for the Negro. I am consoling myself to know that the prevailing sentiment of the intelligent class of the whites had no sympathy with this movement. Were the thoughts of the people who characterized this mob the sentiments of the republic, today we would either survive as the fittest or perish to a man. But thanks to Providence, the white man is still our friend. The party in power has spmpathy, truth and honor, and is ever ready to extend those a helping hand who are trying to rise. I do not wish to be understood as being rash toward my white brother. He is my friend crumbs aud always has been. I can point with sincerity to men among our whites who succored and abetted me in my struggle to breast the tide, as of though an offspring. While this is true of individuals, it stands good in the majority of the nation. If a record of the perpetrators were kept of those who participate in mobs and lynchings of the colored man, the majority would be confined to that class who use small means of improvement, such as providing themselves with good books, newspapers and periodicals to read. They are adverse to the existence of the Negro, no matter what improvement he may make, nor do they look with favor to his steps of advancement. His one thought is to limit our progress and advancement by extermination. To the Negoo, I may add that it behooves us to connect ourselves with every good thought, to show to the world that we are worthy of existence. If we are to imitate our superior, mimic his good actions, we have farther to go than he. We have just mounted the steps, now we are to ascend the stairway. We could all be good and yet there would be room for improvement. Some are saying: "Why not get into untty?" If we cultivate pure thoughts, confine our hearts to diligence and act accordingly, we are of one mind. This is a necessity. The paramount question, the center of discussion; with it all is well; without it all is chaos. The young man's time is utilized better by staying at home and persuing some good book rather go to the club, where in many instances foul breath tainted with whiskey, unpleasant conversation and gambling is in evidence. Why crowd yourself with evil intentions and express them to the outward world by your hasty conclusions, to rob purity in womanhood, be she white or colored. Again there are among your associates women just as fair, just as pretty and as accom plished. They are entitled to your most earnest respect and worthy consideration. Today we hear from another race in a voice emanating from the housetops their antipathy for amalgamation and the blending of the races, and among this very people (though not of the best blood), we find the greatest perpetration of the kind done. They seek the darkness of the night to obscure their ghoulish desire. The young woman may vibrate on her musical instrument tones af a religious character with the prevailing music which will impetus and progress to generations yet unborn. When these have been accomplished, we are not only looked on with favor in the eyes of individuals; but we meet the approbation of a civilized world. Will justice blazon out for us on the dial of time? Will there be an awakening for us in the hearts of men? Will there be and intercession for us? It remains to be answered. But we know Providence is smiling on us, He is yet in our midst. We are not the initial race bearing the burden of torture. History records oppression and strife since the beginning of time. With an eye fixed on the goal of our ambition, let us march with one mind and one sentiment. We may suffer the wrath of individuals, but we know we meet the approval of an All-wise God.—John Simons in the Freeman. One of Mobile (Ala.) leading physicians is Dr. H. R. Williams. Graduating a few years ago from Maharry Medical College, he located at Mobile, without money enough to pay his first month's rent, but by steady application to his profession he made his way up, until now he has a lucrative practice, owns a large drug store, and has accumulated valuable property, including a handsome home. PALACE AT MADRID MANSION WHERE KING ALFONZO AND BRIDE WILL RESIDE. Lavishly Prepared With Richest Art Treasures—The Palace Is One of the Largest in Europe—Royal Throne a Superb Affair—Queen's Wedding Gown a Rich Piece of Finery. Madrid, May 30.—The royal palace of Madrid is doubly interesting just now, both as the place from which Alfonso went to meet his bride and as the future home of the royal couple. The suite of apartments designed for the future queen have been most lavishly prepared with richest art treasures. But aside from this the palace itself is one of the largest and most sumptuous of Europe. It is built on the former site of Alcazar, home of the ancient kings, from plans by the Italian artist, Giovanni Bettirti Sachetti. The first stone was laid in 1738, and 26 years afterward Charles III. took possession of the edifice and began the decoration of the interior. The expenditure amounted to 300,000,000 rials. The massive structure is of granite throughout, except the frames of the doors and windows, which are of marble. The entrance to the royal palace, which is conceded to be one of the most magnificent in the world, has been further enriched for the present occasion. It is gorgeously carpeted and ornamented, illuminated day and night by myriads of electric lights concealed within the rich gold cornices, with halberdiers in their brilliant uniforms acting as guards. At the first landing serving as pillars to the balustrade there are two enormous lions of stone, the work of Sculptors Castro and Michel. It is well known that Napoleon I. had a jealous regard for these lions on the day he admired the palace, remarking to his brother that they were better housed than he himself in Paris. The high vaulted ceiling contains notable paintings by the Neapolitan artist, Carado Gisquinto. The Salle des Ambassadeurs, where the imposing reception will take place after the wedding, is one of the most splendid apartments of the palace, with furnishings of incalculable value. The walls are hung with crimson velvet and gilt armaments. The enormous mirrors, which came from the royal factory of La Granja, are surrounded by heavy gold frames of the time of Charles IV., while intervening statutes of bronze and marble represent heroes, pagan gods and allegorical figures. On each side of the throne statues$^a$ of Prudence and Justice are represented as the councilors of kings. The royal throne is under a superb red canopy situated above the steps richly carpeted in the same color. At either side stand four gilt lions, represented as controlling the world. The ceiling forms a brilliant contrast, being clear and luminous. It was executed by a famous Venetian painter, and is said to be one of the most finished decorative works in the world. The idea developed in this vast composition is "The glory of the Spanish monarchy," represented by a proud matron seated on a throne and attended by allegorical delties. The imagination of some recent visitors to this gorgeous apartment has led to the report that Princess Ena greatly resembles the matron seated on a throne. Many of the salons are decorated with rich embroidered cloths and the luxurious furniture and ceiling were painted by Manges, Balyen, Velasquez, Vicento Lopez and Juan Rivera. Princess Ena is said to take special interest in the china hall, so called, not because the royal china is kept there, but because the ceiling and walls are covered with porcelain, the joining of which is cleverly concealed by figures in polychrome relief. Another sumptuous salon is the large dining hall, decorated with tapestry woven in gold and silver by Pannemaker in Brussels for Philip II. Besides the foregoing main apartments there are many others of great richness. Some of them contain the famous collection of old clocks; others, including the chapel, contain most interesting relics of the old Christian era. Ena's Wedding Gown a Creation Ena's Wedding Gown a Creation. The wedding dress of Princess Ena has attracted great interest in Spain, as it is truly a Spanish product in fabric finish, except for wonderful Brussels lace, which has been bought to adorn it. It was a fancy of the king and the queen mother that the wedding dress should be made in Spain, and the princess graciously fell in with this patriotic sentiment. The dress is therefore one of the special presents from the king, and is a marvel of elegance. The silk was manufactured from a special pattern in one of the large Spanish silk establishments. It was made up with all the artistic skill of the court dressmakers. The silk is heavily overlaid with wonderful silver embroidery with soft frills of the finest Brussels lace, said to have cost $50 a yard. The laces were publicly exhibited before being put on the dress and excited the admiration and astonishment of the aristocratic ladies of Madrid. Orange blossoms are profusely used with the silver embroideries and laces for the corsage and even in dainty clusters along the train, which is four yards long. STEVENS WEARIES OF JOB. Report That Chief Engineer of Canal Will Resign. At Panama it is admitted that there is friction among the higher officials interested with the canal management and it is said the trip of Chief Engineer Stevens to Washington has considerable significance. He has been unable to agree with Chairman Shonts on a number of vital matters of policy, and so he forwarded his resignation to Washington and stated that he would await the arrival of his successor. Instead came a message from President Roosevelt ordering him to withdraw his resignation and to come with all possible dispatch to Washington. He has been assured that he will have the support of the administration. It is generally understood that Mr Shonts will retire from the chairmanship of the committee and that his successor will be Governor Magoon, who, as chief official of the canal zone, is making an enviable record for efficiency. REVOLUTIONISTS IN GUATEMALA Mexico City, May 30.—Advices received from Tapachula and Tonala, show that revolution against the existing administration of the president, Eserrada Cabrera of Guatemala, broke out Sunday and Guatemala was invaded from four points by as many bodies of armed men, all equipped with the best modern rifles. General Manuel Leandro Barvilles, formerly president of Guatemala, with 200 cavalry and a stock of 700 rifles, crossed the Mexican border at a point near Motozinla, and is aiming at Quetzalange, a large town garrisoned by Guatemalan regulars. Barillas has great coffee estates in that neighborhood, where he is very popular, and whence he was driven four years ago by President Cabrera. It is believed that Quetzalange will be taken without bloodshed. Barillas successfully evaded the search of the authorities. He will recruit new men on his march across the mountains, the people being loyal to him, as he has reason to know. General Leon Jose Castillo has captured Ocos without much resistance being shown. He took that point with 500 men, and was received with enthusiasm by the people. The steamer Empire State, from San Francisco, which left that port May 14 with 200 desperate fighters recruited in that city, and some 300 rifles, has reached Ocos, thus enabling the disaffected citizens to be armed. General Castillo was a rival candidate for the presidency seven years ago against Cabrera, but alleges that he was counted out, and he hsa a long series of scores to settle with the Guatemalan president. THEY OPPOSE CONOSLIDATION. Methodist South Church, by a Vote Goes on Record. Birmingham, Ala.—At the session of the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church south the report of the committee on federation recommending nonconcurrence, with the memorials asking for the appointment of a committee on proposed organic union of the Methodist Episcopal and the Methodist Episcopal church south, was adopted. The conference adopted a report commending "the growing spirit of so many churches in emphasizing the sacredness of marriage." ARE CLEARING DEBRIS: San Francisco Has Railroad in Main Streets.

The solemn declaration of the consummation of the union by the moderator, and the appearance of delegates from the Cumberland assembly were incidents that will be remembered long by the men who came from all parts of the world to advance the cause of Christianity. The declaration of the assembly in favor of church federation is also considered an important step, and it is expected it will be followed by similar action on the part of other churches. The movement for union and federation is believed by church leaders to be in full swing, and they predict the early union of all Presbyterian churches in the United States.

Police Nabbed a Fugitive—“Kill the Cop,” “Beat Him Up,” “Go for Him,” Mob Cries—Jailer in Patrol! Wagon Attacked—Squad of Twenty Police Makes Eleven Strenuous Arrests. Seattle, Wash, May 28.—Eleven bruised and battered men are in jail, several patrolmen are nursing minor injuries, and extra officers are on duty in the vicinity of Second avenue and Washington street, as the result of a ‘small sized riot which was precipitated Sunday evening, when a policeman at- tempted to apprehexd an escaped pris- oner from, the city jail. A large crowd had gathered on Washington street to listen to the cus- tomary Sunday evening socialist and religious meetings that are held on the curb. A woman evangelist was preaching to a crowd when Phil Riley, an escaped trusty from the city jail, interrupted her. Patrolman W. C. Hub- bard recognized the man and placed him under arrest. Riley resisted and fought the officer as he was being taken to the patrol box. The man fought so desperately that the patrol- man was obliged to knock him down and handcuff him. A crowd from a socialist gathering nearby immediately rushed the ofi- cer with cries of “Kill the cop,” “Beat him up” and “Go for him.” Hubbard was kicked and beaten, but managed to hang on to his prisoner until the patrol wagon arrived. When Jailer Corning jumped from the wagon he was also attacked, and it was with difficulty that Riley was taken to headquarters. ‘Two other patrolmen, attracted to the scene, kept the crowd back and ar- rested Hugo Shea, Edward Baker and Robert Jhonke. Police Squad Has Strenuous Time. When Patrolman Hubbard returned to his beat from the police station he was again set upon, and Chief of Po- lice Wappenstein sent out a detail of 20 patrolmen and detectives from the night squad that was just going on duty to quell the disturbance. With handcuffs as weapons the offi- cers soon dispelled the mob, and ar- rested several of the rioters after knocking several men down. ‘The men under arrest are: Phil Riley, Hugo Shea, Edward Ba- ker, Robert Jhonke, G. 'T. Anderson, M. Albin, Gust Swensen, Dick Pratley, Frank Brown, C. F. Carleton and 8. Duncan. In default of bail in the sum of $10¢ each, the men were held in jail. FOR POSTAL TELEGRAPH. Congressman Smith Makes Speech in Favor of It. ‘The idea of a postal telegraph has a warm advocaté in Samuel W. Smith, member of congress from Michigan, who in a carefully prepared speech in the house insisted that if the govern- ment would undertake such a system the deficit in the postal department would be almost wiped out. “We should,” he said, “have a first class postal telegraph in the United States in connection with our splendid postal facilities, and the rates can be reduced at least one-half, leaving a sufficient amount to dispose of the de- ‘eit and have money left to extend the vural service to practically every home and pay the city and rural carriers a compensation fitting their services and oxperiences.”” Wherever the postal telegraph has been adopted, according to Mr. Smith, + has at once been followed by a re: luetion in price and by an increase in the number and kinds of messages. Mr. Smith is authority for the state nent that “the Western Union octopus n one year declared dividends which reached the astonishing sum of 414 per cent.” For Labeled Meat. The senate has passed the agricul- ‘ural appropriation bill carrying an ap oropriation of $7,800,000, and without 1 word of debate or an objection from any source added to it as an amend: ment the bill providing for an inspec: jon of fresh meats intended for do- mestic consumption. The provision is ulong the general lines of the law for he inspection of meats intended to be shipped abroad, and the work is dele sated to the bureau of animal industry. The bill requires that acceptable meats shall be labeled, and authorizes the de struction of condemned products. Warehouse Is Sliding Away.

SOME ADVICE,—AND A STORY. i a ae mate ee 2 Somewhat ancient lessor Contained in the following from the New York World, but it ts so excel lent that the story is produced here. “Don't advertise if you believe you are wasting money. Let your com. petitor waste his money on advertis. ing, and perhaps in this way you'll soon put him out of business. Just stand back amd laugh at him when you see him squandering his money for printers’ ink. Once there was a boy named,—we think his last name was Wanamaker, or maybe Money- maker; anyhow, his name was John, with some sort of a maker attached yards of calico, three pairs of jeans, tnd a half dozen pairs of boots. He ‘alled this a dry goods store through | Philadelphia newspaper, and off red to sell a pair of socks for 39 ents. The don’t-believe-in-advertis- ng just laughed. Young John spent ertise just one time, and not less than 1 worth of goods. He was can loned by the merchants who ‘knew ido’t pay.’ It was through sym- athy that they offered him advice. |Eugene Bourquin | Sesvedt alae Wood and ieee ae HELGIA (GE GMPANY + Office: Montana Inb Building, "Phone 111 - Helena, Mont.
