Platz and Others Hope to Re-grow Them By Reducing Seattle Representation. Ensuring of 16th Amendment Would Hurt the South Some, the Afro-Americans Seriously, and Help Only the North-Fifteenth Amendment the Guarantee of Our Liberties. Washington, Jan. 2.—The policies of these Ongreensmen who have introduced bills to reduce Southern representation are selfish—unconscionally selfish, no doubt, but selfish nevertheless. This does not mean that Ornspoeder, Morrall and Pill did not intend through their bills to aid the Afro-Americans. Indeed, the avowed design of a number of these instruments has been to make reprisals on the South for its oppression of the Afro-Americans. For their good intentions, these gentlemen merit the gratitude of the race. By their dangerous policies, however, they compel our opposition. That their policies are dangerous and selfish can only be known. If the Fourteenth Amendment were enforced in the South, the white South would receive an injury which it richly deserves. Its representation in Congress and the Electoral College, and therefore its power in the Nation, would be sensibly reduced. We should, of course, be happy to use the areas of the South that are protected that any good, or even no harm, were thereby incurred by ourselves. But we do not wish to inflict gratuitous injury even upon the South. It is easy to see that whatever harm the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment would do the South, the harm it would do the Afro-American would be greater still, the price which we would produce would be less costless, which involves a repudiation of the Fifteenth Amendment, would be permanent, hospitable, and legal disfranchement. The North would be the only party which would profit in the transaction. Its strength in the Nation would be augmented as that of the South was dislabeled. I repeat that the policies of Northernners, and selfish—inconsciously—because the North would be the sole benefactor of the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment in the South: As these Congressmen are clear of the hostility to the Afro-American, they shall convict of infringement of the Constitution. The Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are a series, of which the last is the crown. The stepping stones, the first to the second, the second to the last, is shown by Mr. Blaine. In 1865 Congress submitted, the Thirteenth Amendment, which merely gave the Negro freedom, without suffrage, civil rights, or citizenship. In 1866 the Fourteenth Amendment was submitted, declaring the Negro to be a citizen, but not forbidding the States to withhold suffrage from him—yet inducing them to grant it by the provision that representation in Congress should be reduced in proportion to the excision of male citizens 10 years of age from the right to vote, except for rebellion or other crime. In the right of citizenship of the United States to vote, shall not be abridged by the United States or by any State on account of color, or previous condition of servitude. To pluck from the series the second Amendment and enforce it without regard to the last would cause the whole fabric of the war legislation to tumble down. As The Aux summited it up last week: "The enforment of the Fourteenth Amendment to the South would virtually abrogate the Fifteenth abrogation of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution the disfranchisement of citizens on the ground of race and color, provided the proper reduction in representation were made, the disfranchisement is now strictly. The enforcement in our particular case the Fourteenth Amendment, involving repudiation of the Fifteenth, would give our disfranchisement a strong color of legality. Therefore, to advocate a reduction of Southern representation is cultual." It seems hard to believe that any man particularly an Afro-American, would advocate in our behalf a reduction of Southern representation. Yet there is a good reason why a number of people do so. It is why the impasse is capable to force the Fifteenth Amendment to the South, "Federal Election Bills" and "Force Bills" are in bad repute, and cannot be enacted. All Afro Americans and numerous friendly whites are outraged by the exclusion of citizens from Southern polls on the ground of color. These persons feel that in such an exigence they cannot be allowed to do something. With rockless impatience rush to the Fourteenth Amendment for help. Because the bridge is temporarily impassable they leap into the swollen and perilous current. But it is my inexpagable conviction that it is better to have the Fifteenth Amendment transiently unenforced, with strong confidence, of its ennemy, the future man to abandon it together. Pt. Witt, Mr. Crumpacker would unwittingly lead us to do. Our united efforts should be applied to accelerating the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment. If it should be repealed, then resource should be had to the Fourteenth. But an appeal at any court of appeal should be a confession of the hopelessness of our cause. May such an appeal never be necessary! A. G. F. Dinner 'to Mrs. Miller.

A BUSY AND NOBLE LIFE Though Young, He Was Blated for Presidency of Pennsylvania Railroad—Was President of Southern Education Board and Best Friend of Booker T. Washington From the New York Journal. LOCUST VALLEY, L. I, Jan. 3.—William H. Baldwin, Jr., president of the Long Island Railroad, died a little before 5 o'clock last night at his home here. Mr. Baldwin has been ill several months. Two operations in the German Hospital indicated a growth of a cancerous nature in the intestines. In September Mr. Baldwin was taken to his long Island home. It was reported recently that he was improving. In 1898 W. H. Baldwin, Jr., succeeded the late Austine Corbin as president of the Long Island Railroad, at a mary of $23,000 a year. He was not thirty-four and had risen in ten years from a clerk in and had risen in Pacific office in Canada to the head of one of the municipal systems in the country. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1865, studied law and at the request of Charles Francis Adams, then president of the Union Pacific, entered the auditor's office. He rose rapidly, and in 1880 was first vice-president, the road. Resigning he would secure control to the Fist & Pere Marquette as general manager, and in 1894 to the Richmond & Danville, now known as the Southern Railroad system. Largely through his efforts this road was brought up to its present prosperous condition. Baldwin was born in Boston, a son of William H. Pere Marquette. He married a daughter of Samuel Bowles, of Springfield, Mass. Mr. Baldwin took an active interest in public affairs. In 1891 he was chairman of the Committee of Fifteen interested in putting the new tenement house law in effect and took part in the light for the supply of vice, notably in the Red Light district. He often spoke at public meetings exposing the evils of the tenement house and of gambling, and was frequently in sharp conflict with those in authority. He was deeply interested in a general plan for the promotion of education, especially in the South. He the development of the Long Island Railroad system under Mr. Baldwin in includes the digging of the tunnel under the East River. Mr. Baldwin was known to Afro-Americans chiefly by his work as President of the Southern Education Board, which has been no tremendous a power for good in the South, both among whites and blacks. Mr. Baldwin was a close friend of Dr. Booker T. Washington, whom he has assisted in many important ways. In his death we have lost a friend whose heart always beat for us. He was chairman of the committee on the investment fund at Tukkegee. Brooklyn Elks' First Anniversary. On Friday evening, Dec. 30, the Brooklyn lodge of the I. B. P.

Her wedding just a year ago was the event of the season in Coronah and as Mr. Gambiah accompanied her the visit parades somewhat of a wedding quarantery. Mrs. J. W. Gambah of Miss Irine Butler is spending the holidays with Miss Rose Pledge in Clinton street. Shige the late information there has been quite operation on to the policy Press Responds will pursue towards the European State after March 4, next. Under the constitution brought about by the disfranchisement of the Southern States, in the nature of things, Afro-American citizens are precisely offended from politics. It is fair to say that the disfranchisement has been indulged in by those white men in the Southern States who stand for alleged "maternal interest," although most of them are not humiliated far, above imposture, and who problem that they want to affiliate with the National Republican party while acting with the Democratic in all matters of a local character." But this prospective division of allegiance they want as their sufficient benefactor all of the Federal office the President may be disposed to give them. In short the whole of them are political Democrats, ready to change their politics for Federal job, if they are left free to co-operate with the local Democratic—in municipal, county and State affairs. Most of them come under the oppressive term "Lily-white," "too good to affiliate and co-operate with black Repubcion Men, who are standing by the Government at Washington in war and in peace, with the market, and the ballot, when these Lily-white were standing by the government at Richmond in war and voting against the "best interests of the Republic in peace. The Southern and Northern races who want to boss the Republican party in the south, while co-operating with the local democracy, on the alleged "material interests" theory to the utter exclusion of the human rights theory, out of which the Republican party was born and upon which it has thrived, and never more so than in the last elections, are mercenary vipers pure and simple, whose heads we would rather crush than exalt. They may find favor in high Republican quarters, and have done so, and their program may be adopted finally, because by their help the black Republicans in the South have been deprived of the ballot, and therefore of the right to participate in party government, for ours is a Government by party, but it will work a revolution in parties such as does not now appear on the surface. It will make the Republican party a party of "material interest," purely, while a majority of the Republican voters of the country are not only determined to protect their "material interests" but the human rights which are themselves in common with every other citizen, which the Democratic party, especially in the Southern States, has trampled under foot and which the Lily-wiper would trail in the dust. This fact was emphasized by the November elections. When the. National Republican party cuts looms from the black Republican of the South and the principle of human rights for which they stand, then, the black Republican of the North and West may cut looms from the Republican party, and carry with them a large percentage of the white Republican of those States who sympathise with them and the issue of human rights reflected in their political aspirations for a fair and square deal under the Federal Constitution. That is to say, when the Republican party becomes wholly a party of material interests its dissolution will follow sooner or later. Representative Smith of Michigan called upon President Roosevelt recently and discussed with him this matter of Southern policy, and the President told him that he did not contemplate any change from the policy he had pursued during the past three years. We all know what that policy is, party government by Referees. The man who changes his politics for a Federal position is a criminal of the same character as the man who changes his vote for a cash consideration. And a dearest, honest Republican party cannot be built up in the Southern States by bribery, whether the payment be made in cash or in the bestowal of Federal positions. When the Republican party abandons the black man in the South there will be no reason why the black man in the North and West may not abandon the Republican party. That is the logical reduction of such abandonment. The Afro-Americans of the Northern and Western States have subordinated their local and personal interests and supported the Republican party during the past twenty-eight years simply because they hoped that the Republican party would do something to correct the outrages and abuses upon their civil and political rights by the conscience less Democrats of the Southern State; but the party has done nothing, absolutely nothing, but dodge the issues during all those years. A fast-footed abandonment of the Southern situation by the National Republican party would not only be the honorable course to adopt but it would wonderfully clarify the situation and enable Afro-Americans to get their correct political bearings—a thing they have not been able to do since the miserable Hayes was declared to be President and the poor black Republicans were handed over bound and pugged to the Southern Red Shirt murders. We have faith in the good intentions of President Roosevelt, but we have absolutely no faith in the leaders of the National Republican party. Campaign pulled down the temple on himself and his enemies. In the matter of the outrage, as far as the Fourteenth Amendment allows it, some of our good men are disposed to pull the whole fabric upon themselves if they can but crush the South at the same time. Mr. Wickham. In the death of the W. William H. Baldwin, Jr., the Republic has lost one of the avengers and most public spirited citizens—a type of man possessed rare in the history of mankind, in all kinds and in all ages. As a business man, whose partner held was railroad management, he achieved success at an age when other men are still mastering the details of the business. In an department of labor he had all that one man could or should do; but his tenure demands energy would not allow him to be satisfied. How much Afro-American labor owes to him we have to refer to another time. Mr. Baldwin was intensely interested in the work of Southern education. He brought to this work a broad cathedral of spirit, a masterful intelligence and a sympathy wide in scope and beneficial in its unselfish devotion. The Education Board and the Southern Education Board were both wholly or in part creations of his origination, to which he gave more liberally of time and money than he could well afford. But it was as a devoted and inspiring influence in the life and aspiration of the Tuskegee work that Mr. Baldwin showed most characteristically the unselfish nature of his devotion to the work of education. He was the best and the strongest friend that Dr. Booker T. Washington had and the students of Tuskegee loved him affectionately because he so thoroughly identified himself with all that was best in their life and work. Of a truth, "Know ye not that a great man hath this day fallen in Israel?" Black Toughs and Lynchers Lawlessness breeds lawlessness. Four black toughs went on a holiday jamboree at Plainfield, N. J., last week, and murderously assaulted several police officers. White toughs decided that they should be jailed, and all sorts of efforts were made to do it. The authorities decided to take the prisoners to Somerville. The New York Sun tells what happened in the following report: "The prisoners were审讯ed together, the police were present the law in North Plainfield formed a cordon and Major Sawyer went ahead to moral sanction. 'Lynch them!' yelled the crowd as the police broke through. The marshals drove a path, nevertheless, and the whole party followed on. The news that they were coming spread through Plainfield. The mob grew with every step. Some one yelled that Kleno was dead, and there was a momentary rush. The marshals checked it and hurried their prisoners into a dog trap. Two of the Negroes had lost their nerve by the fire, wielding wildly and hunted laughter historically. As they approached the station, the crowd grew until at least 1,300 men were travelling along on all sides. By that time perhaps one of the minds of the man was made up of young Newbern, a white man made a dash toward the manhalls he found a back man in his way. This struggle moved two or three small fight which clouded the main truss. A larger man ran out of the white jacket, and quirked up to be "pelled. A Big Negro man up before him. "Well, white man, why don't you do yourself he said. "The latter caused from troubling. These men, who stood between the white toughs and the black toughs showed the proper spirit. It is highly probable that they had no sympathy whatever with the rowdy racals who had got into the clutches of the law; they wanted fair play; they wanted the law to take its course, as it usually does in the case of white toughs; and the chances are that if the white mob had "got buoy" there would have been a "heap doing" it had not calculated upon. That is as it should be. When white mobs in the North or in the South find that they must cope with black mobs in order to get at alleged lawbreakers, the lynching business will perceptibly lose its horrible fascination. Let the law take its regular course. The mob must be made to respect the law. The Folly of Reducing Southern Representation. The Elimin (N. Y.) Gazette, commenting upon our editorial entitled "Scenar Platt's Bill," does not beat a very flattering coeumulation upon our sanity in the past. The Gazette says: The most uprising comment on Senator Platt's bill cut down southern representation appear in The New York Auc, the organ of the colonized race, edited by T. Thomas Fortune. That Senator would applaud the bill and call for its passage. Instead The Auc advises Congress to belt and all other bile of the kind alone. It believes that the bill would react upon the Negroes of the south to their hostility. That the welfare of the Negroes will be promoted by complying rather than stimulating race differences and prejudices. Many more prominent journals in the North would profit by taking a correspondence course in common sense from Fortune and another devoted to the interests of the colored race. It adds us to learn that the Gazette confidently expected us to applaud a bill so faulty as that of Senator Plast. Has it been our custom to pursue any will o' the wap policy simply because it happened to be hostile to the South? We have tried to be broader. It has been our cannot aim for over twenty years to fight for principles against wrongs, for truth against error, and never to contract our cause to a bigoted hostility toward any class or section or to a blind zeal for any class or section. We are almost mollised, however, by the Gazette's grecious opinion that our recent reform in the direction of malty will endure for some time. If it will not, how can the Gazette expect us effectively to inoculate with our common sense those "more pretentious journals of the North"? Seriously, we do oppose the reduction of Southern representation, but not for the reason that the Gazette indicates. We have no thought of composing "more difference and prejudice" for the more sake of composing them. If they can be compound without an abandonment of American ideals, well and good. If they cannot be compounded without an abandonment of American ideals, we shall not at tempt the opposition. We oppose them. The more bills bill of the Senate, the more they may amend the Constitution. Fourteenth Amendment, from which these bills are found, seems to us unwritten to the question of Afro American disfranchisement. On precisely this point, and no other, the Fifteenth Amendment has been superseded by the Fifteenth. To enforce the former in our behalf would constitute a virtual abandonment of the latter. If the Fifteenth Amendment were abandoned, we could under the Fourteenth be legally disfranchised, on the ground of color, provided the appropriate refutation in representation were made. Therefore, to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment in the South, as the bills of Senator Flatt and of others would do, would be to consent to our disfranchisement on the ground of color. Surely the Garatee should not be surprised that The Ace does not advocate a policy no suicidal. Mr. R. W. Thompson, one of the most found and imaginative of race correspondents, says in the *Charleston* (W. Va.) Advocate, that rumor has it that the consolidation of the TAG. Inc., the Colored American Magazine and the Washington Colored American is a thing possible. Not a bit of it. There is nothing in such talk but hot air. Where did you get it, Mr. Thompson? CAN ROOSEVELT MUZZLE THE WHITE SOUTH After the New York Washing Bin, After the other day Mr. Thomas Nelson Page reported that Mr. Roosevelt had asked that the South suspend judgment on him he repeated that he had been mishandled the Southern people, and said meaningfully that he would revise their opinion of him About the time of Mr. Page's call upon him, or a few days previous to it, the President appointed a grandson of Stonewall Jackson to the Southern Academy. No Confederate commander stands higher in the regard of the Southern people than the soldier who vanquished Banks, McDowell and Pope in the Valley of the Mississippi. The President allowed men critic and disarmed more than one enemy by the appointment. At the same time, he had the good of the service in mind: blood will be in the Corps of Cadets there should be a descendant of the great strategist. Since Mr. Page delivered the President's message to the Southern people, he has made another appointment that cannot fail to please them: that of J. E. B. Stuart Virginia. Stuart is a son of the brilliant cavalry commander who was killed at Yellow Tavern in 1963, an impregnable loot to the Southern cause. The new appointment is not exactly a sentimental one. Mr. Stuart, although he was a civil servant, although he was Democrat. He voted for President McKinney as well as for President Russell; but no doubt, there were other Virginiaans who did the same thing and who would like to be Marshal of the Eastern State Department, although he was some time an applicant for the place, with the backing of Representative Sleep and District Attorney Lewis, and had called on the President in person to present his claims. It is stated that "the famous cavalry leader appealed strongly to the President." These two appointments show a resolve on the President's part to follow in William McKinley's footsteps with regard to Southern patronage, and if his selection are sometimes made for sentimental and spectacular reasons it doesn't matter, as long as they are gilt-edged. Those already made reveal the President's purpose to prove his good will for the South, and explain his remark to Thomas Nelson Page, that in two years more it would understand him better. The President cut course is pledged to keep the door afar for the Negro, but he will do that in his own way and as considerably as possible. There will always be Southerners who refuse to see the olive branch, and in the back country the Booker Washington episode will never down, but the political soltude of the Sold South, minus Missouri, is so painful that when men are reluctant to admit they ever got excited about the President's hospitality to the great educator. "From the character of the returners," says Representative Griggs, of Georgia, and Southern men are convalescent enough to appreciate the joke, "I am inclined to believe that if Washington had stayed to supper Roosevelt would have been unanimously elected." ACTS AND SENTENCES OF WHITE-CAPPERS From the Independent. Sentences of unexpected severity were imposed by Judge Wilkinson, at Brook haven, Mias., on the 9th, upon the white farmers recently tried for "white cap crimes." Oscar Franklin, for the murder of a Negro named Hilson, was sent to the penitentiary for life. Imprisonment for fifty years was the punishment order for William Franklin, D. W. Smith, Ella Smith, R. L. Smith and Elbert Gill, who had had been found guilty of manslaughter in the killing of Henry List, a Negro been named —Negro named Bayles—David Posey's term of confinement is to be 25 years. Samuel Posey gets 10 years for mubbery and 10 more for "white capping." The arrests and convictions were result of Governor Vardanian. During the last two years in parts of Mississippi, and in Lincoln County especially, the Negro laborers have been persecuted by murious bands of "white-capppers," whose Ku Klux conspirators. The organization were known as Farmers' League, and at the beginning their allowed purpose was to enforce the laws. Within a short time, however, they were driving Negro from their own property, and amassing them to own property, and amassing them who did not prompt obey the orders of bands of masked men who roamed the country by night. In some districts the land was no longer cultivated, or crops were not grown for the lack of harvesters. The catholic bands bound members to purse theirselves in any legal proceeding relating to their offence and "to assist to put out of the way any and all objection Negro within the jurisdiction of each local organization. By Governor Vardanian being employed by Governor Vardanian because of the laureus and obstacle possession of all the sentences at the beginning of the law conjugation the corporators were plotting the assassination of a processing guarantor among those who were "them to arrest.

All kinds of fruits, vegetables and a temperate climate do well there. The roads coming into Muskogee offer sample facilities for distributing all products. The climate is basky, with long summers and short mild winters. Individuals with money to invest, children to adorn, or to buy would do well to visit Muskogee to see the city. Ind. Tac. Dec. 23, 1904 sweet, stiffen, inadequate and inefficient, how are we to account for the enormous size of the present cotton output, as well as the steady inflation in cotton storage and output over the years of the war or the post-war period, why are cotton value also in life more, so to devise the Afro-Americans people in the eyes of desecrated, indulged in the language of delicatessen falconed? And the increase in cotton average and output has gone hand in hand with the increase in farm produce and enhancement of farm values, including stock, and in a manufacturing development that has no parallel in the history of any people,—in all which black labor has been and is a prince Jester. Now, what has caused the decline in program output and the industrial output of the Southern States? The 13,000,000 cotton crop of the past year shows that the shiftless black laborer of the booth was very busy, indeed just as much laborer of the same labor, not only in the cultivation but the gathering of the cotton crop, the leading staple in the farm production of the world. Why not give him the credit that belongs to him? Why constantly abuse, kill, and injure his laborer of his laborer, of his honest toil, refute, it all and aid mightily to our National wealth at home and prestige abroad? The laborer is not only worthy of his buret but is also worthy of his laborer has faithfully performed his tasks, the stead of kicks and curves, and vilification. And it should not be overlooked that while four-fifths of the 5,000,000 slaves were charged in the production of cotton and other farm products at the close of the war, not more than seven tenths of the 10,000,000 free Afro Americans are engaged in such industry. And, yet, the productiveness of the latter is, perhaps, twice as great as the former. In this view of the matter, of the efficiency of free over slave labor, the conclusion of Mr. Helper, which he urged with so much earnestness and force, has been amply borne out by the facts of Southern industrial development. The black free man is a vastly superior man to the black slave. He shows it by the character of his manhood and of his labors in enhancing the industrial values of the Southern States since the War of the Rebellion. COMMENT OF OUR CONTEMPORARIES —B. F.

Y. M. C. A.'s New Year's Reception. A brilliant New Year's reception was held in the auditorium of the Association building on Monday evening, Jan. 3, at 2 P.M. A special New Year's program was rendered, and a good crowd was present. The program began with an invocation by Mr. Bell, the secretary of the trench. His interesting talk was followed by a piano solo by Bugnane Jackson, a growing young pianist. Next came a recitation by Edith Leonard, a public performer and composer. The feature of the performance was the opening song. She closed the program, after which a collection was served in the rehearsal room. The menu beautified of chocolate, ice cream and cake. The evening was spent in rehearsing out the old songs and taboring in the new. This week started the social season of 1905. We began in earnest now and the next week we would work after a long holiday. Development is an unfolding. The paths of the seedbed, under the kindly influence of light and heat and moisture, gradually unfold until the bed becomes the full bloom flower. That which was enveloped in the bud becomes developed in the seedbed and a production ideal. In the form of the new the full bloom flowers in the ideal surrounded by the Greater, and destined by the master. As an individual, men develop. There is growth and unfolding, not only of the organs of the body, but also of the social man or woman is the ideal of the infant in the cradle. So, too, it may be said that men develop. There is progress among nations: people from a simple, impure state to a higher, more complex state of civilization. What, may we presume, in the moral ideal As in the individual man, it must be a condition of strength and excellence as common in children, the greatest possible number of children, women who are fully developed in their powers of mind, body and soul, in the goal toward which all races should aspire. The home, the school, the church and the family are the only races any race is to be developed. The race must have land to occupy and possess that the individuals or families composing it shall be unmolested in devoting their time and energy to the needs. It must be master of the situation A nomadic race has - not yet reached its ideal condition, neither has a people who are - tenants at the will of landlords or owners of the land they developed, then, should be owners of the land upon which they dwell. Upon land possessed homes must be established. Houses, not huts nor nacks, must be built, which will be commodious, comfortable and convenient in furniture and surroundings. In such buildings the true home may be begin still developed. The house, the brother, learn to exercise their pedper duties and functions. The school should be not too far from the home, that the youth of the family, especially the young children, may rest there too often, and expenditure of effort. The teacher should be concilient, painstaking and thoroughly competent to perform the duties of the school room must be supplemented by special instruction and training on farm and in work shop, factory, mercantile, and the office and the professional school. The church must perform its function of establishing vital, healthy relations between men and God, of maintaining the standard of pure morality, of strengthening the faith of the faithful powers. The State must recognize equality of rights among its citizens, and make and enforce laws which will tend to facilitate harmonious relations among all the inhabitants under its jurisdiction. The State must develop the development of a race. Let us ask what power or influence is exerted by the ministry in this development? (1) The ministry is a body of intelligent men. They are men of thought. Heace the mind, and teach the mind which the race should strive, and the means by which those ends are to be attained. (2) They are men of integrity of character. Their vocation requires them to act with the principles and precepts and to incite their fellow men in every way possible to become pious and benefent. Among the strongest inducements to a better life is a life conducted in accordance with the principles and precepts imbued by the ministry, and is a powerful influence in elevating their people. (33) As a result of these attalments of the Christian minister; they are honored with the esteem and confidence of their peers, especially in troubles arising, especially in troubles arising, the ministry is looked to, on both sides, as a peacemaker, and in most cases the expectation is not in vain. As an illustration of this fact, let me cite an occurrence which took place at James City, South Carolina, in 1828, when the military authorities were exercising unusual civil power until the State government should be re-established, the colored people received permission to settle upon a tract of land opposite the town of James City, many years without purchasing the land or paying rent. Many believed they had a legal title to the property, and when finally the owners of the land took legal process to object to the settlement, a large body of officers, together with the resist the officers of the law, were ordered to erect an prominent colored ministers, knowing that the contention of the inhabitants could not be sustained by the courts, met the assemblage who were threatening rebellion by mob violence and persuaded them to dissuade. Thus they averted a bloody riot. (4) The power of the ministry may be further seen in the fact that they are the friends and co-workers of another body of influential citizens which has been men of virtue, and of the belief in the development of the race, namely, school teachers. To whom does the teacher look for encouragement in carrying out his plans, with the certainty of receiving all possible counsel and support, more than usual, he must be careful, too, the minister may and ought to exercise his power for promoting the well fare of the race. We have spoken of the power of the ministry as a whole. No doubt there are persons who have a profession fall below the standard here noted. Such persons should kindly but firmly and constantly be held to the pur suit of the power of wise counsel and effective work if the elevation of the race is to be achieved, and body, and where they do not respond to such endeavors they should be relegated to the rear. Wholesale. Christening in Bishop Walters' Family. On Sunday evening, Dec. 25, at Mother Zion Church, Bishop Alexander Walter prescheduled a forcible sermon to a large audience. After the sermon his brother, Rev I. B. Walters, officiated at the christening of the infant son of the Bishop, who in turn performed a similar service for his brother and also for his son, Henry A. Walters. The service was shared by christening the infant of Mia Goe, W. Brown. It was the first time the new baptismal font, a gift of the Sunday school, has been used. Watch-meeting Services on last Sunday were conducted by the pastor both in the incarnation and evening.

John Kolbe, M.D., follo AMONG THE CHILDREN OF THE EAST SIDE JEWS The last bell indicating the beginning of the morning session had just been rang the door was open, about to begin, when the doorbell rang. I got out of bed of about eight paws old entered. All home seemed to depart so the door closed. The story approached the door, approximately sitting on her hand, while her eyes were glancing at me, preparing. "Please to see me. I had to go and get self on. Mine matter she must stay by the door all night, mine baby is in sock." The rising foundation on the last word and the beginning of the mouth in a heave afford it to cry were quite pathetic. And yet this and story was only one of many, and this neglected-looking little girl before me was only one of a vast number of children growing up on the Best side of New York and through care and responsibility, are often more like little men and women than children of seven years of age. Often the small children of the northern or very dark babies that they remain in the night out in the drunk air, on the dock especially during warm weather, and the little girl at home must take the tired child to school, prepare the smaller ones for school, put her own self on and insecure breakfast. The pleasantest thing in their lives is the school. The homes are so often cramped, poorly maintained and unpleasant that the schools put up within the past year. The schools are cleanly and bright with pictures, other adornments, seem like fairy halls to their little minds. On the teacher is invaded a wealth of that affection which seems to form such a large part of their lives. It seems wonderful, how a trait of character and character, centuries and changes of conditions abodes for that respect and implicit objection which the Hebrew of the time of Moses accorded the patriciarch or alder of the families seem to be inherent qualities in the East Side, in New York. Students in a Jewish school is generally not nearly so hard a matter as in other schools. A glimpse into the homes of these children reveals the surprising fact that few of them are really destitute. Jews will make money and the insignificant vendor by the curbstone or under the new bridges selling all sorts of things, from cloth by the yard to household furklings, makes a good living. His children come to school during the upper class in good times during the year, and the heavy costs to commute among them that reach to their ankles. Of course there are some exceptions, but these result, not on much from lack of money, as from inability to spend the money judiciously. A greater boon to the East Side than financial help or the distribution of food, as some one suggests is the education of its girls in the way to spend money, in the things necessary to comfort, and in the best methods of keeping house. The many public school—there is about one to every three blocks—and mission focus are doing this in a large degree. Their desire to learn is most gratifying and anything which adds to the culture is seized out and redeemed with an eagerness. On being taught to say "Excuse me! I have known children to excuse themselves when passing behind one's chair or when going past a teacher in the hall; such is their desire to be refined. Most of the families live in two or three rooms. These are scalded opened up for air, and as a result the atmosphere is cold. They use cookies. Unlike the most Hollander they seem to take naturally to cleaning or scrubbing; his sole aim seems to be eating money, and all household duties are subservient to this purpose, so that as often as not, the dining room, parlor and sitting room are used for shop or work shop as the case may be. As I said before there is on an average one school to every three or four blocks, and as every school holds from two to three thousand children, one gets an idea of the people living in these treatment houses. The people living in the manner of living is often very unhealthy, there is one item that does much toward counteracting the progress of disease. Most of the children receive daily several pennies, and always one each day. These are amazing to see the large quantities sumed by the children. Just as naturally as most children think of buying fruit, these children desire to get fruit. Lunch generally consists of one or two apples and a fruit juice. The good fruit is very cheap on the East Side, and the children are trained to regard it as a necessary portion of their diet. Their use of English is often most amusing and peculiar, but the little forgeries pick up our language with astonishment which they paraphrase English idioms and phrases render them almost unrecognizable for a moment, such as—"I had to put my cellphone on" "she gave me a hack on the phone." "The saying it is to laugh" "probably came on the East Side, where one often hears the remark, 'she made me to laugh.' A peculiar form of juvenile denunciation "I woreague among them." Children come to me when I say, "She cursed me, she told me to life dead, buried in the grave with my mother and father." An excuse which one often receives for lateness is couched in this phrase: "She drew a drawer by a wedding, so I was the mornick such a long time sleepkell." This was also given as an excuse for lateness: "Such a thief was by mine house this mornick, allways with that qualit riding inflection on the last word. ```markdown ``` On the whole, they are interesting; bright little children to know. Some of them temperamentally, and some are quite the reverse; but in either case, one grows to have an interest in their development which one would never imagine feeling when one is playing in the arms of them playing around the streets. As I said before they are very lovable and comparatively speaking they are free from prejudice. I am amusing little inclination. School was over and two little girls had stayed in to help me, when one of them approached me ably and said, "Annie has a shame to ask you something." I what it she was to encourage it, what it she was to encourage it, "I did want to know, Mam Fortune, was you a Jew? I was very surprised at the question and amused at her timidity. On my replying, "No," she seemed very surprised and amused to know a Jew. I thought I would lost her, so I asked if she knew what a colored person was, and on her replying in the affirmative, I told her that I was colored. Then she met me for not being a Jew, and she replied with touching pretension, as she had her hand on my shirt. "Mam Fortune, I do like you, just the same, no matter what you see." —Mr. W. C.

New York, Nov. 14, 1988.—This is to ensure that I was out of work, out of money, and dismayed. I took what I took. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shen. I went. I was in Dr. Shen's place. I found in Dr. Shen's place a good kind friend. I friend I ever had. That friend was Dr. Ellison. Through Dr. Ellison I got a brother, week. I had been to others. They took my work. I had been to others. They took my first meet Dr. Ellison. I would advise in bad luck, sick or in trouble to write or to write pneumonia. By Dr. Ellison at once. I had pneumonia. By Dr. Ellison at once. I was cured in all three ways. If any 30 ARLINGTON BRAKE, N.Y., March 1908—it gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of Dr. Ellarson's medicine. I had been sick for a long time, and had taken all kinds of medicines for my complaint, and none did me any good. Since I have been taking Dr. Ellarson's medicines, I can truthfully say I have been greatly benefited. I wish to add my testimony as to Dr. Ellarson's marvellous power. By some mysterious influence, I was laid helpless upon my back, unable to speak, or move hand or foot. By Dr. Ellarson, I was made able to walk around in less than a week. I felt as if I had been raised from the dead. Mrs. Thomas Mitchell, an seventeen-year-old, Mr. Vernon, N.Y. BROOKLYN, May 3, 1902—I wept to Dr. Ellarson when I was a sick I thought I would die. Dr. Ellarson cured me and made me feel like new person. I am thankful to the good spirit that I feel me there and to God for patting me to such a good friend to give me such relief. MARY E. HARRISON, 198 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn. Kewark, Sept. 14, 1902.—I wish to state that I was sick with a mysterious disease and in great trouble and distress for a long time. No one seemed to understand my case. I went to many doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do me any good. Hearing of the wonderful works being done by Dr. Shea, the last few years, I thought I would call to see him myself. I found Dr. Shoe was dead and gone, but I found in his old rooms, 761 Fulton Street, Dr. Eliasson, a most kind and sympathetic physician of wonderful insight and power, who in a short time cured me sound and well. I can truly and heartily recommend Dr. Eliasson to all those in sickness or distress of any kind. ```markdown ``` GRACE, N.J., Feb. 1, 1908—My Ibar Friend Dr. Ellison—Your welcome letter really to hand and I have to answer the same, can only say your medicine have done me at a time in the paper as I want everyone to do.
