WHITE RACING SUPERVISOR
ANDERSON'S MANTLE DOES NOT ADORN AN AFRO-AMERICAN.
John Shea Appointed by Governor Higgins as Supervisor of Racing Accounts—One Hundred White Candidates for the Place and Twelve Afro-American—How George E. Wilcoxen's Auctioneer Boom Came to Grief—Hise and Fall of Fred R. Moorer's Candidacy—Other Candidate—Shea Was Halpin's Man.
Governor Higgins on August 2, announced the appointment of a white man, Mr. John Shea of New York, formerly private secretary to the State Superintendent of Public Works, as Supervisor of Accounts of Running Race Meetings, to succeed Hon. Charles W. Anderson, who vested the office, leaving three years of the five-year term inserved, by resignation on June 27, to become Collector of Internal Revenue for the second district, New York. The appointment of Mr. Shea ended what was as the Governor said, the hardest waged contest for any position under gubernatorial patronage since he assumed office. There were at least one hundred white applicants for the position, some of them the most prominent Republicans of the State, and quite a dozen Afro-American applicants all strongly backed.
There is little wonder that the superintendent of racing accounts is so atturing to office workers: it pays a salary of $2500 and $500 for expenses per annum, and the inundent need to work six months in the year, during the six months during these six months only about one hour a day. Through Mr. Anderson, with unusual consciousness, gave much more time to looking after the State's interests on the new tracks. Sixteen years ago, when the Republican candidates were at a loss how to reward Mr. Anderson for his eminent political services, he himself solved the difficulty by claiming an old and forgotten provision for the creation of the office of Supervisor of Racing Accounts and being passed at Albany a bill for its institution. As Mr. Anderson had created the office, he had it for one full term, and for two years on a second term, it was generally expected that his mantle would fall on some Afro-American Eskimo, but the office is a plum so successful that many white men have for good reason been upon it with great delight. Despite the fact that many of the Afro-American candidates strong political backing, it is a white man when the Governor selected to succeed Mr. Anderson.
The strongest of the Afro-American candidates were Mr. George E. Willeman, Jr. president of the Henry Highland Gettet club, Brooklyn; Mr. Frod R. Moore, Brooklyn; Mr. James O. Wright, South County Committee of the District district; Manhattan; Mr. Lois M. McKinney, of the 4th Anniversary Colored Republican Manifesto; and Mr. John W. Thompson, Roederer, Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, of Manhasset wasn't dodking any lightning, but wasn't an active candidate.
in the King's County Republican Committee of which Jon. Michael L. Lieutenant Governor Tim Wooldraft and Chairman Frank L. of the district leaders of King's County, and the Republican mem-
the Legislature from Kings, were endowments in his pocket, Mr. Wooldraft hosted to Albany, where Senators from Kings, he called Governor and preferred his It is said that the Governor, considering these claims, practiced to appoint Mr. Wibecan, two delegations of Brooklyn Americans had appeared before Mr. Wibecan's sailing did not claim. Some time after he became disquised by the several strong rivals in the country another visit to the Gov-ernor of his claims, it is charged, minutely, a bit too zealously at the demonator on this occasion to have afforded some Re-mergers a cause or a pretext for him with too great peremptory behavior of manner; and it has many prominent racing and Mr. Wibecan to demand him singly and to the social and they are many, which the membership entails. Such objections, the entrance of Mr. Fred R. Moore, the same as a rival candidate, open-knocked all the wind out of Mr. Wibecan's boom.
About a month after the launching of W. McKenna boom, Mr. Fred R. Moore Brooklyn began an active and resolute campaign for the position. The man, which he conducted his campaign led by Afro-American politician revolutionary, Totally ignoring politicians, Mr. Moore's friends became by petition among the business and finance, and Afro-American of New York, his standing among those, owing long and exemplary connection to National Bank of Commerce, unreachable, a formidable and list of influential endorsers was indeed, so powerful were the man behind him that, it is an good authority, the Governor trusted his preference towards him, politicians who were on the "inmates at 2 to 1 that Mr. Moore work before appointment of Mr. Shoe, uncle of Mr. Samuel R. Scottron, as the executive of a number of Mr. influential friends, went also to governor and urged to him the merits Mr. Moore's candidacy. By Mr. Moore's craft, like Mr. Wibee countered a fatal squall just as in sight of the harbor. A num- Afro-American politicians of New York county had all along regarded Mr. candidacy and especially his un- method of promoting it, and that approach had been created and adapted by New York县 man, the position added to the colored Republicans of New York county; and that, even if a
Brooklyn man's right to the position were conceded, he should have consulted his county organization and not have gone over their header. These men, therefore, got up a communication, signed by the leaders of the biggest colored Republican clubs of the Assembly district of Manhattan, urging that a New York county Afro-American be appointed and that no candidate should be considered who did not support the oppose of his local organization. This commission personally laid before the Governor by one of the most eloquent Afro-Americans in Manhattan. He argued that if Afro-American political organizations are to be over-ridden and ignored in the bestowal of State patronage, why take the trouble to build up and maintain them? and that the appointment of any free-lance candidate, would negotiate what to which Republican success in New York must be due, namely, the organization, made so proclaimed, arguments, imported, made so proclaimed, an impression upon the Governor that Mr. Moore's hopes were at once irretrievably shipwrecked; the more so since the Governor soon after received a resolution unanimously adopted by the Colored Republican club of the city and county of New York to the effect that the club, as the representative of the 25,000 Afro-American voters of Manhattan, in view of the fact that Tammyann Hall has Afro-American impurities in nearly not quite all of the city, would offset the influence of these appointments the choice of an Afro-American of Manhattan as Supervisor of Racing Accounts.
At this psychological moment Chairman of the New York County Committee William Halpin, who had been skirmishing from the First for the appointment of a white district leader, robbed his efforts in behalf of Mr. Shea to such good purpose that his appointment was announced, as is above related. Mr. Halpin's position from which he has never recoded, from the beginning of the fight has been one of reluctance to endorse any Afro-American candidate; and as the supervisorship comes under New York county patronage, his official position, carrying the weight and prestige of the County Committee, finally secured the acceptance of his ideas.
Mr. Harris of Wright had the endorsement of the Commissioner Strasbourg, leader of the 31st Assembly, instructed Mr. Julius M. Watson, Commissioner of Windolph, leader of the 17th Assembly district and an intimate friend of Chairman Halpin. It was thought from the energetic manner in which Mr. Windolph supported his candidate that he would get for him Mr. Halpin's endorsement. The other Afro-American candidates were all left at the post.

Washington, local preacher, occupied the pulpit at 11 a.m., his theme being "Doubt." The discourse was an agreeable surprise to all and very interesting. Rev. J. Oscar Vick, of Kindlehook, preached an excellent sermon at 4 p.m. at M. S. p.m. the pastor. Rev. J. M. Proctor, delivered a short but helpful sermon, after which holy communion was administered. The number of communicants was twice as large, compared with this time last year—a good sign in the church's favor and growth. Sunday, the 20th inst., is rally day and reopening.

A NEW POSTAL STATION.
A long and greatly needed public convenience was secured when Station 203 of the New York post office was recently established at the corner of Fifth avenue and 13th street. Although the station is situated in the 15th Manhattan Election District of the 22d Assembly, it is an equal convenience to the several adjoining districts, and the residents live in a prime position of Mr. M. E. Needles, the energetic Republican captain of the Fifteenth, to whose efforts, chiefly, the installation of the new station was due. Following upon the failure of several captains of both parties in the vicinity and particularly of several of his predecessors, to convince the Post Office Department that the need of such a convenience was real and urges the Mayor to immediately signal one. However, this is but the latest evidence that the Fifteenth is at last in possession of a captain who is alertly and effectively mindful of the common interests of his constituents.

Rare Literature on "Nauvery" Should be Given to Some Library.
During the past ten years I have gathered together, on the general subject of slavery, some 600 books, 300 pamphlets, 450 magazines, articles, 15,000 newspaper clippings, 5,000 of which were cut directly from 40 Southern papers, 300 steel plates, wood cuts, lithographs, a few slave deeds and war posters, the greater part of the books from the Southern newspapers, theba and Virginia conventions, and about 300 items from the Southern Workman, Tuskegee Student, Flake Herald, Atlanta Bulletin, Voice of the Negro, American Attachments, and conferences at Atlanta, Hampton, Montgomery, Capon Springs, of the Negro Business League and Southern Education and Sociological Publications. Some 70 of the items from the Negro conferences have been picked up as occasion offered east of the Alleghenies and north of Raleigh. Such a collection, as a whole unique, many dating long before the war, might be considered the most important library. The price shall be no bar to such a purchase. What are they worth?

TO DEFEND CIVIL RIGHTS
COLORED CITIENS' PROTECTIVE LEAGUE ORGANIED.
Phillip A. Payton, Jr., Elected President After Some Unwarranted Opposition by Mr. James O. Wright-Other Officials Prominent and Public-Spirited New Yorkers-White Civic Club Suspends Southern Work to Give Total Attention to Race's Flight Here.
The agitation excited in behalf of the Afro-American's civil rights in New York by the brutality of the police in the recent "race riots" shows no signs of faltering. The committee on permanent organization appointed on Tuesday of last week, consisting of Messrs. P. A. Payton, Jr., Archie Roberts, Frank Gilbert, S. R. Scottron, Anthony McCarthy, Roscoe C. Simmons and Gilechrist Stewart, met the next day in the office of Mr. P. A. Payton, Jr., G7 West 134th street, and, as they had been directed, nominated a tentative state of officers and formulated recommendations regarding the name of the projected permanent organization and the institution of a committee on Plans, Scopes and By-laws.
On the following night, Thursday, the committee made its report to representatives of the Business Men's League, the Colored Republican club and the Colored Democratic club, who throughed the regular meeting place of the Business Men's League at 128 West 53d street. From the interest and determination written on every face it was evident that all had their hearts in the issue which they had assembled to further. Mr. Fred R. Moore, temporary chairman, called the meeting to order and called on Mr. Gilchrist Stewart to read the minutes of the last meeting, Mr. Simmons, secretary of the committee on permanent organization, was then called on for its report. The recommendation of the committee that the name of the organization should be, the City of Chicago, Protective League of the City of New York, unanimously adopted. Then this list of officers for the permanent organization was submitted: For president, Phillip A. Payton, Jr.; vice-president, Samuel R. Scottron; treasurer, Anthony McCarthy; general secretary, Rosse C. Simmons; assistant secretary, W. D. W. H., Brooks, chairman; Rev. W. Henderson, Rev. James E. Garner, John A. Ainsley, Rev. Hutchins Bishop, Frank H. Gibbs, T. Thomas Fortune, Archie Roberts, and Gilchrist Stewart; chief counselor, Wilford H. Smith.
This state was adopted without question, except for a very severe and unwarranted attack upon the nominee for president, Mr. Payton, by Mr. James 40, Wright, colored county committeeman from the 31st Assembly district, Mr. Wright's investiture became at times so extreme that he had to be called to order by the thing which chiefly exasperated him, which in the act that Mr. Payton supported laid out autumn' Congressional election, Mr. Franklin Leonard, Jr., the Democratic candidate for Congress in the 17th Congressional district, in opposition to Congressman-elect William E. Bennett, Mr. Wright wound up by nominating for president Dr. D. P. Reid, the well known dentist. This was seconded by Mr. William H. Butler. Mr. Wilberford H. Smith answered Mr. Wright in open and effective speech. He dwelt upon the necessity of eliminating altogether from this government in behalf of the whole race all political considerations and all chronic political make-belts. He enlarged upon Mr. Payton's immune services to the race, both locally and nationally, as a business man whose achievements have won him the respect of the citizen-body of New York, white and Afro-American; and urged his possession of the qualities indispensable to the office for which he was appointed, namely, genius for organization, business world and non-patriotism. Mr. Smith's speech was endorsed by loud applause from his audience.
At this juncture Mr. Butler nominated Mr. Gilchrist Stewart for president, but he declined. Mr. Arthie Roberts then nominated Rev. Brooks for the same office, but as the point was made that he had complatically declined to consider the presidency. Mr. Roberts withdrew his name.
Attorney Alfred C. Cowan of Brooklyn stated his belief that the committee's shot embodied the best timber available for the officials of the organization and should be adopted in toto. Thereupon Dr. Reid, an apache withdrew his candidacy and threw his support in Mr. Payton. The popular candidate Mr. Payton was expressed by the overwhelming vote by which he was elected president.
The committee's suggestion for a committee on Plans, Scope and By-laws was adopted, and the chair appointed as its members: Dr. D. P. Reid, chairman; Mr. James C. Thomas, Mr. William H. Butler, Attorney Alfred C. Cowan and Wilford H. Smith and General Secretary Roscoe C. Simmons.
In a spirit of harmony and of confidence in the officers elected, the meeting was adjourned.
One of the most representative and for a while elite clubs in this city, a club which has an ongoing committee on the protection of the Apache rights, heretofore active in the South only, permitted this committee to drop for the present all Southern works until the Afro-Americans' rights in New York are more adequately protected. And so the good work goes on.
Mr. Philip A. Payton has subscribed $100 to the fund for prosecuting the offending police in the "race riots."

Special Correspondence of the Aur. Istanbul, France, July 20.—Paris is a very beautiful city, and those who have said that it is the most beautiful city in the world, in my opinion, are right, though I have not seen them all. Paris is a city laid out in a park, especially that part of the town from the Jardin des Tulieries and Place de la Concorde, out. Wide avenues, shaded with beautiful trees, paved as smooth in a floor; and kept cleaner than some floors; magnificent public buildings artistically grouped, graceful fountains—but what's the use! I can't describe it, and even if I could, the thing has already been done by Bodecker with far greater attention to details, at least, than I could possibly give. But even Bodecker falls short—Paris to be appreciated must be seen.
I feel that we can say that we have seen Paris; and we did not see it Baedeker in hand. What could be more destructive to pleasure on a trip than to get up in the morning knowing that acclimatization will certainly amount of sight-seeing; than to start out with the harried little red book in your hand, and walk through miles of pictures and statues, inspecting each one, then thumbing Baedeker to find out who was the artist and everything else about it? Baedeker is a very useful book to the traveler, without one; but I think it ought to be consulted and left at home or carried in some secret pocket. Seeing it in the hands of so many people who go from place to place, peeping at this, and spying at that, then turning over page after page, gathering up a lot of useless data, and often missing enlightenment, the beauty of the body has become to me the badge of an enthusiastic crank or a greenhorn.
Our method, or better, the manner of seeing Paris was to hire a guide. We secured a man our second day here, and he has been with us every day since. He has been with us every day morning and wakes us, fixes the bath, brushes our clothes and shoes, and makes himself generally useful. After breakfast we decide to go wherever inclination allows this way we have avoided making sightseeing a task—we have enjoyed Paris.
Our guide, a half-Frenchman and half-German from Luxembourg, has afforded us no small amount of amusement. He is well informed and as faithful as the day is long but about no slow-witted as a man. We have tried the American brand of wit and humor on him; and he never fails to miss the point. The other day we stood under the dome which covers the bones of the greatest military genius since Alexander: the man who trembled with age. This is the result of the great Napoleon. "Mr. Cole turned to him in seeming seriousness and asked, 'And who was Napoleon? What did he do?' The look of commissaring pity for us on poor Schmitz's face was too much for the sacred shadows that hovered around a dead Napoleon, and we laughed.
There is a French saying which, being translated, reads, "When in a foreign land avoid your fellow-countryman, How well that applies to Americans of color when away from home I have friends from all over the world of Americans in Paris and of sea in many of them are at our hotel; but we do not seek their company. You know we easily fall into the habit of judging a white man's goodness or badness according to his friendliness or unfriendliness toward our people. In fairness to the idea of the title 'He's a good white man,' generally means that the man referred to is friendly toward us. Well, in that sense I can say that we have not here some good white people from America. A number of them have sought us out, and seemed really good to see us; and in the same way we have seen bad ones. We can detect the latter specimen on sight. We have often on going into a place noticed some one to whom our presence seemed a source of absolute pain; we have at once recognized and labeled it "Beastus Americanus, habitat bassiisspis." The expressions of importance we have seen on the faces of some of our competitors have been amusing to us.
But here in France their sting is drawn, and much kaking acutely not. The most eloquent Negro before that ever pumped air into a cranker legislative hall would have a hard job to convince a French proprietor that a certain man had been a slave, and would have to pay his bills, should he put out. I have not yet encountered in Paris the slightest intimation that I was inferior to anyone else merely because of my color. I've been treated no better, no worse, but simply as a man. Who could ask for more? You know occasionally we are treated quite good because of our fellow countrymen, suppose that of our fellow countrymen, from here feeling that the French people have absolutely no sense of deoxy or the eternal fitness of things.
I have a confession to make, and I think it will do me good to get off my conscience. Within the last few weeks I've seen times that I really felt ashamed of the American flag. I have felt that would be a constant to most likely to be a reflection of Irishish stance in banks of the Upper Congo than to claim allegiance to the Stars and Stripes.
Is it not enough that these people oppress and persecute us in their own and our own hand, where they plead self-preservation so no law has the power to allow them to show across the sows, and attempt to inject the virus of prejudice into the minds of people who have no prejudice against us and do not feel the need of it? One decent, respectable ordered man, away over fifty feet, flees from a narrow-minded, prejudiced American, is sure to cause him an attack of loss of appetite and indigestion if not quite clobber morbus. In America the thing is often tragic here it has always felt that there we are, a sinister meaning in the word "glob" but recently I have positively glouted over the powerlessness of those who would do mischief with cruelty by and asked, with the slightest hint, and the model imagine a vain thing?
Up to this date two of our party,
Mr. Cole and I, have celebrated birth-
days. I'm not going to tell how old we are
we are to be, but I will tell you that I am already a godfather twice; that's a sure sign of approaching old bachelorhood. My birthday fall while we were in mid-ocean, and we celebrated with a quiet glass of wine, Mr. Cole. We went one better by giving a dinner at one of the swell cakes on the Grand Boulevards, Mr. Robert Hummings, of Boston, who is here studying art at the famous Academy Julien, was present all fall while we are in London; and Mr. Cole and I shall both be willing to have him put us in eclipse.
Our stay here is almost of an end, we have been in Paris more than three weeks, but still we are lath to leave. We have not met only the city, we have met and the environ of Paris are if anyone could be beautiful than the city. The fine roads, the beautiful villas, the quiet houses and coolest make a trip through the suburbs of Paris a pleasure, never to be forgotten. We took an automobile a few days ago, we went to the gallery, where Louis XIV saw his greatest master, Louis XVI met his downfall. It is wonderful to think how a man could conceive such a place. The palace was built to house 10,000 people. It is now used as a picture gallery, and museum; and one could imagine the history there studying French art and French history, which we have been also to Saint Germain, the house Henry II. One of the prettiest spots we have seen is Burgherin, a little town twelve miles north of Paris. It is a pleasure resort for Parisians. As I have seen in America like it I cannot describe the place, but parison, and adjacency, you know, run out or become monotonous. Enghein is a Monte Carlo on a small scale. In the Casino I saw a large table, perhaps, covered feet long and five or six feet wide, on which we sat and on the little horse, which was divided into numbered squares, center was a miniature race course around which ran little metal horses; around the table sat young men and old men, women fair and women wrinkled, who sat on the table or on the little horse; at the table also sat for a hundred handled rakes with which they handled the money on the table as deftly as an ordinary person could with his fingers. Considerable money was won and lost, but I saw none of the proverbial deeds, and the group. In fact, everybody win or lose seemed to keep up the good spirit so characteristic of a French crowd.
We leave there in a few days for a trip through Belgium and Holland. Whatever impressions come to me on that trip I give you in my next.
WHACKS CORTELYOU AND WIGHT.
Cohen Objects to New Louisiana National Committee as a "Lilly White."
Walter L. Cohen in the Colored American Magazine.
I have just finished reading the article in the July number of your interesting periodical under the caption "Walter Cohen's Seat Denied Him."
I am pleased with its tenor; except in one instance, it gives a correct version of the action of the last National Convention, bearing on the Louisiana convention, between the "Lily Whites" and old the Louisiana Convention, and find it necessary to correct the impression that seems to obtain and upon which, possibly, you base the statement that the selection and appointment of Mr. Pearl Wight as National Committee, by Chairman Cortelyon, is acceptable, by Chairman Cortelyon, is the fraction of which I am proud to be Mr. Wight's appointment gives not the least satisfaction. His sympathy and support lops towards the "Lily Whites" How could the selection of Mr. Wight prove acceptable and satisfactory, to us when patriotism that at the "Chicago National Convention" was a member of the "Lily White" selection, and there, was very strenuous in his efforts for the success and triumph of his white line tendencies? He was at the time of his appointment, and is now, of their executive committee, of their executive endeavors to enlighten Chairman Cortelyon prior to the appointment.
Happily, the loyal and devoted simpure Republican leaders of the National Committee crushed these harmful tendencies as they would an egg-shell. In the selection of the member of the National Committee, we were denied a vote, not only in inviting to lead a suggestion, not withholding communications, hearing on the appointment, were sent to the chairman appealing for this right. We were lead to believe that having been seated in the National Convention with equal power, one right to be consulted accordingly would be impossible. With the published statement of the Chairman of the National Committee coming simultaneously with the appointment of Mr. Wight, there was reason to hope that the latter would rise above the unreasonably petty prejudices that permeate the "Lily White" organization, and be broad enough to honestly seek to mate and harmonize the factions in the newly and emphatically signaled at the last National Republican Convention.
Whether Mr. Wight, on his part, considers the time of action that Chairman Gerlomian, apparently, hays down for the course to follow, to be obligatory or optional, or to be the result of the recent appointment of W. L. Loyd, the professor at this port, who is a "Lady White" of the extremist type, whom Mr. Wight readily and cheerfully endorsed and recommended, not even deigning the context of our faction of an intimation of purpose. He is not disposed to confer with us, and all his acts are partial.
At the meeting of the new National Committee, immediately after the adjournment of the convention, the question, or the decision, of the election of the National Committee from Louisiana Warmoth, and myself, who are testants, each having filed evidence (there being the breath of suspicion of gross fraud in the preparation of Warmoth's papers). By a decision along this time we were perfectly willing to stand or fall, and I made this fact known to Warmoth Corleyon. As time wore on, it became that the Chairman contemplated ignoring the question and purpose to appoint some one another to Warmoth or myself. While it appears that both Warmoth and myself have been eliminated, it is no less a fact that the appointment of Wight is a decided condition to Warmoth, the choice of the Tillis family, since Mr. Wight is and has been Warmoth's political friend and supporter, than whom no better could be selected to serve his (Warmoth's) ambition.
I appreciate the lofty sentiments you express relative to our muttleboss leader, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, and one other, who rendered such invaluable and inspiring might well include the colored headdress of Chicago, whose efforts were tireless, well directed and effective. The same applies to fast and loyal friend, Gurley Brewer of the Hoosier State. Buck again at home, after the fight put me at Chicago and every won for the right of all men to participate in the Republican party, we were still committed with the same condition. It seems to me that is a case of 'Love's labor lost' since every thing seems to gravitate now, as before, to the center of 'Lily Whitism'.
Unless for some intervention, I see the same contention in Louisiana looming the future political horizon. The time will be long and let us hope for it, when colored cities are allied to those who are charged with leoparding when their civil and political rights are imbalanced, as they can be this incubus Republicanism — will realize the danger, lay aside for the once their social amenities and fight for themselves and people.
American and South Resident of New
Boston to Baptist Overseas African
Americans. Exposed by British-
African and West Indian Students in
London Temple.
Special Correspondence of THE ACA.
LONDON, ENGLAND, July 10.—The first
World's Baptist congreg closed its one
week session at Royal Albert hall, London's largest, swollen auditorium, last
night. About nine thousand people were
present. The congreg included representatives of the Baptist faith from all climes and continents, our own country contributing five hundred delegates. Of this number two hundred were from the Southern States. The Afro-American delegates numbered eight-eight.
Being a newspaper man and a member of a different faith, the writer regrets the misfortune of his absence from the congress at its opening on July 11 and until the Sunday following at the evening service. Having been granted a vacation farmlough abroad for three months, elected to make the world's metropolis a center of learning, he joined the congress of Baptists a leading center of interest, before proceeding to Berlin, Paris and Rome. Neither week on a Camaradar, with all the interest and charms offered by old Neptune and all the fascinations of congenial associations among first class saloon passengers on deck or before endless varieties of epilepsy, able comforts, nor those supplemented byible comforts, not only upon an Afro-American passenger during and after a six-hour speech at an evening's entertainment in the ship's cabin, could impart anything like the satisfaction afforded, by the sight of two-score fellow-Americans or the hearty bumblehake of personal friends like President William H. Steward and Dr. Jordain, president Morris of Arkansas, Dr. Walker of Augusta, G. W. Bishop Johnson of Washington, D. C., and id oenas ome.
London was not visibly agitated by the presence of the thousands from America and elsewhere attendant upon the con-
flict, and the element among the hippies. I am please to thank you for happy and wholesome impression, upon their English friends. They filled a number of pulpits on Sunday and were entertained in a number of honeys.
"There were several Southern white delegates at the congress and they, of course, brought with them their Southern prejudices. It is to be wondered some times whether Puck had in mind this three delegates: the one who came from an lower-region when he uttered the "What fools these mortals be?" "Fools at home and fools abroad, with exceptions few and far between. At the great gathering mentioned it was agreed that a picture of the delegates be taken; that a picture of the congress and it was asserted that several delegates were to be included a number of Southern kicked out of the threes with the abruptness of an Arizona hybrid. The picture, however, turned out to be just as good looking without them, and that is coming over with Negro delegates. They were all in their ill-manneredness. Numbers of them, like all of the colored delegates, took second saloon accommodations. When it was found that they were indiscriminately located in the state rooms and at tables with their colored brethren, some of the proprieties allowed them to culture the ordure! Of course the colored delegates, with two exceptions, like the whites, wanted to get together and honed the steward did not have much trouble in setting a compromise. The two delegates, who owned and enforced the "social equality" bugle to the end of the journey.

Caste has again been exemplified by a white man who tries to play with a black best friend in the Northern League, and this time in Vermont. Our prisoner of a white man who will not associate with a responsible Negro in a baseball game or ride in a car with him or sit down to play with him, how old. Such a man is putting on bags. The Negro is well balanced on bags. The Negro is confident in every respect, not only in himself, but in performing the part of a gentleman in a performance. The Negro is a Stone as far as Mr. Appleton is concerned, the much aggravated white individual who could not be trying to show off if he could not be down to the humble position of blocking a ball all right. That is what Appleton would be.

The Messenger, for one, is standard. He must magnify the importance of the relationship affair and does not believe the public welfare affair and does not believe the public whether Albertine plays a villain or a man or not. Even if he does not, the colored man is sensible enough to stay tightly connected to the value so the people get it. He is sensible enough to personalize amounts to nothing in this matter, but his attitude is useful to point a finger. It does not adorn a tail. The awful, ineffective, and unprofessional Smith that we hear so much about must forbade a white man to take employment in an institution where Negroes are also employed in the Northern league is employment. It makes the mistake of confusing it with a social function. The rest of us do not. Any person with blood men if Apparent will not work with blood men. Then the laborer is not worthy of his life. It strikes the Messenger that if Apparent is located to and affection for his native race, he commendable thing in any man, he could do it better by helping his generation to pass for a natural moment and chivalry.—Rt. Aldus Messenger.

Cause or Pretext, Which?
The moral which most people will deduct from the appointment of a white man to be Supervisor of Racing Accounts, a position created and held since its creation by Hon. Charles W. Anderson, will be that the Afro-American voters should have "got together" upon a single candidate. Such a policy might indeed have secured the appointment of an Afro-American to succeed Mr. Anderson; but failure to follow a policy of unity can by no logic be construed as a competent reason for taking the position away from the race and bestowing it upon a white man.
There were one hundred white candidates who wished to step into Mr. Anderson's shoes, and the fight among them was as keen as it was among the Afro-American candidates. The whites did not "get together," but a white man, got the plum. We cannot escape the conclusion that the contest, natural and inevitable, waged among our men for the position, was seized upon as a pretext under cover of which to appoint a white man. Otherwise we should have to believe, what we do not believe, that of the 50,000 Afro-American Republicans in New York State only three or four were worthy of being considered for Mr. Anderson's successor.
All this results to us the fact that Governor Higgins has not since he assumed office made a single appointment of an Afro-American. We have yet to see what recognition he intends to give the 50,000 Afro-American voters who helped with a will to hoist him into the governorship.
Discreputable Journalism.
The New York Sun, by printing last Sunday a number of hideous caricatures purporting to represent types of the Afro-American residents of San Juan Hill, merely afforded another evidence of that journal's melancholy descent from its once proud position as the foremost paper in the United States. The most bestial and villainous origines, such as have not existed on earth since the apeman skulked in the jungles and the "missing link" lowered brutally from his cave, are solennly held up by the Sun as examples of Afro-American citizenship in New York city in the Twentieth century. The New York Journal has done no worse.
South may be the
$\textcircled{1}$ The article which accompanied these
landlords pictures, however, serves a
useful purpose in exposing the unre-
fecting and brutal prejudice entertained
by some policemen for Afro-Americans.
There is nothing surprising in this to
us, at least, for we well know that the
New York police force is habitually recr
tured from the courset and most ignorant
individuals of the Irish race.
The Heathen Chince.
There's something unannoy and frightful about Chinamen. The other night in a theatre a throng of them sat presumably in the rosth thrall of art, with souls sweetly attent on the One-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety sixth act of some Mongolian drama. All at once, like a bolt from the blue, sudden revolvers spit out flame and thunder; three Celestials are dead and several lie wounded. When there is trouble in Chinatown, the first thought of the police is, "Cherchez 'Mock Duck.'" Some claim to have seen "Mock Duck" give the signal for the murderous fusillade and then take to flight by one of the fire-escapes and the roof. So, "Mock Duck" is searched out. Where is he found? Sitting tranquil in a police station, disputing with the captain abstruse resemblances between the Confucian and Pauline philosophies. When apprehended, "Mock Duck" murmurs innocently, "Alibi."
Do revenge and triumph riot in the hearts of the rival Tonges? If so, their countenances give no sign. Each face is as guileless, as simple-wondering, as a babe's. What bloody designs real through those brains, hidden behind those artfully artless faces? We shall know when "Mock Duck's" enemies take their revenge—and they will surely take it—for this defeat.
As we have said, there is something monstrous, horrible in such consumate duplicity. We cannot help wondering what the South, which so pitifully bewalls its entanglement in a "Nogro problem," would do with 8,000,000 Highbinders in its midst.
Florida Separate Car Cases.
The victory, splendid as it was, of Attorney Wetmore and Purcell over the "Jim Crow" street car law of the State of Florida many not be so far-reaching as many of our contemporaries imagine, many of whom are jubilantly prophesying from this triumph the speedy downfall of "Jim Crowism" on common carriers throughout the South. It is true that Attorney Wetmore and Purcell argued that the Avery law was in direct contradiction to the Fourteenth Amendment, in that it gave "to one class of citizens, to wilt, white citizens, certain rights, privileges and immunities not
granted thereby to colonel children." If it was this argument which most influenced Judge Call and the Supreme Court of Florida to declare the Avery law unconstitutional, a mighty blow would indeed have been laid at the very roots of "Jim Crowism."
But we do not believe that this argument was so influential as was another. Among the several indictments brought by the Afro-American lawyers against the Avery law was this:
Section seven (7), of the act not only gives to a certain portion of colored people to wit, colored nurses having the care of white children, and colored nurses having the charge of all other people rights and im- countery to the Fourteenth Amendment, the Constitution of the United States of America, but also gives not and not without contrary to section twenty one rule three (3), of the Constitution of the State of Florida.
This objection, if it was, as we suspect, the one that proved fatal to the Florida separate car law, could obviously be without difficulty removed; and perhaps the "Jim Crow" legislators of other States will take warning and expunge from their separate car laws this uneasential and disabling provision in favor of Afro-American nurses and servants. Of course, it is no more lawful to discriminate against Afro-Americans in favor of whites than it is to discriminate against Afro-Americans in favor of other Afro-Americans; but the white South has not yet waked up enough to realize this truth. It is for this reason that we doubt whether the Fourteenth Amendment of the National Constitution had much to do with the quashing of the Avery Law.
The Peace of Portsmouth.
- The gathering of the peace chivos of Russia and Japan at Portsmouth, N. H., is fraught with moment and interest. The most weighty consequence which the conference can have is, of course, the ending of one of the most sanguinary wars ever waged: but other important effects will also follow.
In the first place, President Roosevelt, who is we might say the author of the peace conference, has by his mediation between the belligerents placed the United States before the rest of the world in an attitude both lofty and engaging. This was needed. Our professions of democratic and humanity-loving principles have been seriously disabled by our compass of the Filipino people, to say nothing of the inexperiating Afro-Americans which is frequent in the South. President Roosevelt by his successful activity in behalf of peace has rehabilitated us in our partly discarded principles; we again stand, as we stood in 1775, 1812 and 1895, for a noble cause; this time the cause is Peace. The nations are repeating after President Roosevelt his thrilling words to the envoys on the Mayflower: "A just and lasting peace is my home and prayer."
Of probably greater significance than anyone is aware is the fact that it is to an off-color race that a white race is sitting for peace. It has long been said that no dark race can look a white race in the face and live. The Japanese dared look in the face of the Russian; and—the event reminds us of the denouncement of Goldsmith's "Tale of a Mad Dog"—the white man 'twas who died. The ultimate effect of this startling victory we cannot at present estimate.
What will be the outcome of the conference at Portsmouth? We do not doubt that peace will be concluded. Japan has little more to gain by continuing the war; Russia has already lost more than she can afford. At one stride Japan has become a world power and has won in a year the cordial admiration of the world. Compared with such a triumph, indemnities andessions of territory, are small things. Of course, Japan will not be so foodish magnanimous as not to safeguard herself from future encroachments on the part of Russia, but that Baron Komura's demands will be moderate we all hope.
M. Witte, the Russian plenipotentiary, is the pathetic figure of the conference. His country has called upon him to extricate it from difficulties in which, had his advice been followed, it would never have been involved. He, as all know, earnestly opposed the war. Were he a less noble man, he might feel some satisfaction at this partly recognition of his wisdom, but we may be sure that he feels only grief at the calamities which have befallen his people.
The world will follow with absorbing interest the proceedings of the peace conference at Portsmouth.
Higher Education for the Massen.
Many of our shallow educational doctrinaires, particularly those who are possessed by an animus against industrial training, presume that when a man has once graduated, at the age of twenty perhaps, his life is then rigidly crystallized and he is incapable of further improvement; in other words, that education stops short when one leaves school. The fact is, and innumerable college graduates will bear us out, that our education is just begun when we leave school and enter the world.
Holding, however, that erroneous opinion, our theorists affect great horror over the lot of trade school graduates, doomed, they exclaim, to wear unreprieved and unrespirable until death the fetters of laborious manual toil. Such a lamentation disregards not only the mind's capacity for indefinite additions of knowledge, but the tendency which is at work in our greater industrial schools to lay more and more stress upon academic work and to raise its standards higher and higher.
At Tuskegee, for instance, the work in English literature and composition is carried to a pitch really surprising. Careful reading, under brilliant English teachers, of the prose and poetic classics of our language breeds in the student a longing for a further and more intimate acquaintance-with the world's great intellects; and this taste and predilection
will determine that students are available in his future life. His trade requires him a comfortable living, the first and indispensable thing; afterwards, his academic training provides that his spare hours shall be enriched by good reading. We are happy to see how earnest is the movement to brace up the academic departments in trade schools; it means that the laborious days of our manners shall be deliculed by some picture of poetry and illuminated by some rays of idealism.
Intermarriage.
When the engagement was announced of Miss Rose Harrier Pastor, the Jewish authorhes, and Mr. J. Graham Phelps Stokes, certain fanatical Jews raised a loud clamor of opposition. With justice these bigots were everywhere denounced as impertinent 'meddlers in other people's business'; it being the consequence of enlightened opinion; that if Miss Foster and Mr. Stokes, an independent individuals, wished to marry it was their own affair and no one's else.
But what a universal right about there is when the intermarriage of whites and Afro-American—that is, with the benefit of clergy—is broached! Then Dr. William Hayes Ward himself, who praises individualism in the Independent, forges his doctrines and gently discounts nuisegement." Why is the Afro-American incessantly reminded that he is a member of a race rather than an individual? Why is that which is esteemed a virtue in a Jew exacerbated as a crime in an Afro-American? Why this gulf twisted tweddle and twocolleed?
The reason presented by the white South and for the most part gulped down without reflection by the white North is that the offspring of white and Nero parents are in some mysterious way generates. If this assertion were true, it would be entitled to weight; but I is emphatically false. The proof? Fessick Douglas, Pushkin, Dumas, Sir Gandolph Reeves and Mr. Colbridge-Taylor. Look about you candidly on the average Afro-American of mixed blood; is he inferior, either in intellect or stamina for the average man of either of the races which gave him birth? Did not he Athenians, according to many scholars, owse their superior respondency and persuitability of talents to their intermixion with the aborigines of Greese; while the Spartans, for instance, keeping their blood homogeneous, remained ferocious and rapid barbarians?
Holding these opinions, we must apo-
with Mr. Chewitt that those Afro-Ameri-
ans and their name is legion—who
condemn intermarriage as a thing in-
self evil, are simply dioses of madicis-
white men who wish to perpetuate
collar line. We live in a society whi-
theory is that all honest men have a rig-
to work, live and vote as they please;
and the right to marry as one please is
inevitably follows. Therefore do tha-
State laws forbidding intermarriage are
only entrench upon individual freedo-
but tend to subvert our fundamental
theory of government. When the Abo-
American--remember the vists of woh
he emptied on the head of Freedo-
Douglass--joins in the hue and cry
against intermarriage, he is, in his sim-
plicity, holding out his hands for the
chains which his enemies would he
upon him.
POSSIBILITIES OF POSTLES.
Wilmington's Afro-American Boa Phy
Boa City Council's President.
From the Philadelphia Institute.
A report from Wilmington, N.J., says that a delegation of Republicans won Washington one day during the week for the purpose of trying to show Shaw to up the ante to cooperate with M. L. McLeish, either as president of the six council or collector of Internal Revenue, and the feeling is increased by the report. The council will be called by the council Thomas E. Posele, the Negro Republican comission from the Sixth wizard, if to be elected president. The council will not help him, but he will be elected by the vote of the Democrats in the council. If President Letch regains his six wizard, the six Democrats. With Postles going for himself with the six Democrats, this would make it seven to five, and therefore a legal election.
With possible injury could come from Mr. Postles being elected president is not stated. The presumption is that the Democrats as always small, and always will be.
BRILLIANTLY EDITED PAPER
From the birthplace of New York, the Yankees are one of the greatest, if not the leading Afe American journal in the United States, is now an eightpage paper, the same size as the New York Age. If we were a brand of sports and present a most attractive appearance," The New York Age is a brilliantly written and well-received news service throughout the East and South is most excellent.
GOOD ADVICE
From the Odd Fellows' Journal.
Police Commissioner, McAuliffe of New York is said to have requested the colored citizens residing in those districts where race slots have recently taken place to give up their rights to vote in such request of the white residents of those districts. We hope the colored people will have sense enough to purchase arms instead of giving up what they have.
7In Different Whose Ox in Gored.
The recent case of attempted assault by a white traveler who was a seventeen year-old colored girl in the Peninsula hotel, Salisbury, Md., beigns prominently into light the usual method of procedure when the violator is white and his victim black. There was no mob, and consequently no lynching to direct attention to the news dispatch by glaring headlines setting forth the horrors of a crime committed by a police officer. It was permitted to escape the horride, swing into eternity at a cope's end to the accompaniment of fuller, more violent screams, and instead was fined $50 and costs. Verily, charity hilder and a multitude of sins, and fifty dollars and costs confound for man a citizen, such a man of off color must give up his life.
"Fifty dollars and costs!"
Something Must Have Been Wrong.
Down in Tennessee three Negroes were legally hanged last week, so any dispatches last week are our curious to learn whether or not they were legally convicted, for there must have been some illegal transaction there.

MANILA, P. I. July 18.—Manila is all a gog over the coming of the Taft party,
and huge and tedious are the preparations being made to entertain the official Junketers while in the Philippine; "huge, because of the effort to make the affair a really big one, and "tedious, because no one really seems to know how to make it big or to settle the question as to who should be the People at the reception of the occasion when it comes off. Some contend that the Filipinos should be, as they are the shoso people; others say that Americans only should be thought of as the host since they represent the ruling class; while still others maintain that all classes should be represented at the banqueting, since from no one class will come the means to defray the costs of the entertainment. Be that as it may, one thing is certain: the large-grithed Secretary of War and his Congressional companions will be hugely. If not wholly and exquisitely, entertained while sojourning in the Philippines this summer for purposes of inspection.
The "colony" is to be sized up one way and down the other to determine whether or not it has fitted itself to the political suit cut for it, and can wear the extra vestment intended in the much clamored for Assembly. Of course everybody is acutely expectant; and collectively show the unrest of Virginia country folk the week before the coming of the latest circus. This civic body wants to do this, while another contends for its way of thinking; but the Filipino and Chinese chambers of commerce, aided and abetted by the English and other foreign trades societies, recognizing the efficacy of a full stomach as a foether of things giveable, have come together for the purpose of providing, independently, a dinner for the good Secretary that even his plentious abdominal expense will be too small to encompass. Mr. Taft and the Congressional gentlemen must be well fed while here, as much is going to be asked of him and them, and from many sources; and the feeding will make the asking easy—it is hoped.
The Americans are going to ask for greater freedom in the exploitation of the islands; and for the lowering of the tariff between them and the home country; for a cessation of "ind-pendence" and "abandonment" talk and action; and some other things that will contribute to the interest of American investors; the Land Grant act should be amended so as to allow corporations to acquire what they want from the public domain; the forestry and mining laws should be reconstructed, and must be reconstructed, if Americans are desired to come to the country. What are the forests and mines for but to be exploited?
The Filipinos are going to ask for some wings, too; some in accord with the Americans, while others will serve but to raise the ice and the hair of the Americans at their very tenacity. The natives may haloo their lungs out for the free admission of Philippines products into the United States if they will, but please don't let that whisper "assembly," "autonomy," or "agovernment by Filipinos with the assistance of Americans." No; please don't! At they are going to ask for just such things anyway, and in tones far above a whisper. This because they have grown wary of the burdens of heavy taxation to import an elemosyary institution for Americans, vulgarly known as the "Government." They want an equalization of the civil service, a larger political control and an early conversation of the Amblyb. In fact, by them all other duties are he made necessary to the treatment of the Amblyb and a larger political control. Said prominent Filipino conversation with the writer recently.
"Why, of course, want the Assembly, also how are we going to stop these 'apportunists' contiiner here and succeeding to the fatt places in the burrows, and, then, needing satisfied with successing themselves through organized government, other relatives occupy places in the government with, then, the exclusion of Filipinos? If the sent state of affairs continues we shall be able to manage our government in the American's standpoint, as no opportunity to learn by experience will come to us. Yes: Secretary is merely correct; it is a full government before we will be capable self-government if Filipinos are to be bound to the posts of copyist and messer," and he turned away with a vontuous smile.
"We want a crisis the lever of expenditures," said Enacimiento in a recent study. Emily will curtail wild extravagance and obtain in spending the pet money, not the public interest, the would naturally surmise—but for maintenance of a people whose intuitibilities are more difficult to serve than the serving of a people in a group.
The ascertified entry of them:
Even the Federal are this the military applauders of government and monstrosities among their own people, has come out flat-faced against the continuance of America all the responsible places, and urge substitution of them by Filipinos, short, the Federal party has "but to use a Pacific constr phrase, and to the writing, in convention for the pose of changing its policy from one union with America by annexation "he of "independence".
Philippines real life the temperature at this triotic, to speak whisperingly on the triotic, and Mr. Taft will have much with it indeed when he goes to Washington, tired and debilitated over-eating and lengthy listening.
Speaking of mat political reminds me that I should something in behalf of the Afro-Americae, who are discriminated against fully in the civil service, although not them are ex-soldiers and fought La Loma to Aparti. There are few half-way succeeded. Some of the exceptional worth, regarded as a colored man is "frozen" out of office departments and bureaucracy where shameful to tell our we consider that he is turned after a creditable examination with a record of having shouldered a year before
the Philippines were citizens of all a population of the United States; and that the most of the people of the Philippines were the El Niño before San Juan, bringing their become as targets for the Managers of the Seminaries!
To the police department of Manila, for instance, Ever since its organization, it has maintained a rigid rule of a closed door to the Afro-American. At present there is a young man awaiting appointment to the police force who has been turned down by the head of the organization twelve times, although he bawned at the head of the class in him he was examined for question. Three white men the pawn under him in the police department have been appointed. This man served ten years in the army and was formerly a student at Tuskegee. I could go on to the end of the chapter telling of just such cases, eligibles to the fire department, customs service, prison guard service, and so on; but what avails it? We have no man here sufficiently high in official position do awnt in our behalf of people at home to serve for the Philippines those here who are allied to them by ties of kindship than the proverbial linker's daun; this notwithstanding that what part of the history of American arms of 1818 and 1820 connects the good name of the Afro-American with its making, was made by those who now suffer the damnation of the white man and the negligence of those or whose name they fought for or whose name they would be the case if conditions were reversed and the black American should deny his white brother as we are denied and desired here by the very men alongside of whom we stood for years to answer the martial call and with whom we marched and fought, and fought and marched! Would their brothers at home stand idly by the death to turn and by付出 at their turn, "no wanted!" I think that. No afro-American occupies any place of honor and responsibility in the government of the Philippines is a standing mark of shame and disgrace to those who would lead the race politically.
June was but a few days old when there floated into Manila Bay a much bewihikered and battered admiral with a quarantine quarantine too immediate contact with Admiral Togo Toros sea-dogs up in the Stratics of Korea. He came stealthily, supplicantly, in during the night of June 3, and the following morning, Sunday, Manila's curious rose with the sun and excursionion themselves on the sea and upon their ships with unpronounced names berthed "to see how it happened." Of all the broken-down shiphoppers that have run their course since the days of Nelson, I think these were the brokenest. From stem to stern, and from boarded to starboard, and both ways back to shore, I have veritable Hibernian jig with their "big sticks," from their thirteen-inchers clear down to the one-pounders. Here, where, as in the South, the color question bulks large in the sentiment, and where the Filipino, as with the Negro, has to face a continuous charge. Immediately after the Japanese had administered the Russians, as evidenced by Admiral Enquist's squadron, was a bitter pill for the "superior" race to swallow. This South-like community had a hang-dog for many a day after, and to add much to injury, he enlisted the fear of JJ's in combat and enlisted the fear of JJ's in big black headlines.

FLORIDA VICTORY FAR-REACHING.
May Easily Result in Attacks on "Jim Crow" Laws in Other States.
From the New York Evening Post,
the colored people of Florida are jubilant
over a decision of the Supreme Court of that
State declaring unconstitutional the "Jim
Crow" street car law which became effective
on July 1. There are two street car
companies in Jacksonville. One, owned by
Boston capitalists, is reported to have paid
$10,000 in an effort to prevent the passage
of the bill. The other is largely owned by
colored people, and was not affected by the
boycott immediately instituted against the
Boston company. Similar action was taken in
Pensacola, the Negroes there refusing to
ride in cars which were divided for the
races. A colored law firm of Jacksonville,
Messas, Wetmore and Purcell, at once pre-
pared a test case, their belief being that the
law, which also conferred police powers
upon the conductors, was contrary to both
State and Constitution violating
particularly the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution.
Their contentions were upheld by the Clir-
court and four days later, by the Supre-
mary Court of the State, and pleases the railroad companies quite as
as much as the colored companies quite as
as much in attacks on similar laws in other
States. The giving to the Negroes the
fears in the cars of the line owned by colo-
red people, and placing the "white crow"
in the streets of the armament station
naturally appealed to the humor of the colored people.
AUGUST MAGAZINES
—The Colored American Magazine for
this month is admirable. Its special articles
are y well-known writers and its editorials
are brightly written. Our Mr. Thomas H.
Malone has a good story.
—The Voice of the Negro maintains its
usual high standard. We looked in vain
for the smashing it promised certain edi-
torial ignorances last month.
Delivered to an Audience That Through
St. Mark's—Said Spirit of Law-
rence to Spreadring—Laws Must Be
Enforced—Impartial Arrests, Pun-
shment of Genuity Police and Thro-
ugh Investigation of Riots Demanded.
On last Sunday night Rev. Dr. W. H.
Brooks, one of the foremost and first in
the movement to secure justice for the Ame-
rican Americans assaulted in the San Dami
district, delivered an impressive sermon
on the general subject of "Place Houses" at St. Mark's A. M. E. church to an audience
which overflowed the building, although it
is the largest in the A. M. E. Zion con-
ference. Among other things Dr. Brooks said.
"There is a spirit of lawlessness abroad in the land which is neither sectional nor racial, infirm to good government and contrary to both common-sense and the citation religion. There is a growing despect, mistrust, if not contempt for law and orderly procedure which should chame the attention of our wisest statement and prefectest students. Lynchings in the South, mob violence in the North, strikes in the West, the desecration of the Sabah, the honesty in high places, the perniciousness of the run power, the spread of the glancing maniac, the low estimate on human life, are all unmistakable signs of the spirit of lawlessness.
"Perhaps the disrespect for law has been intensified by the slow and intolerable workings of the law; by the knowledge that many guilty ones escape and many innocent ones are punished; by the suspicion that more than one court justice may be bought and sold as a commodity. The ordinary layman has come to believe more in the shrewdness of his lawyer, the size of his purse, and his 'political pull' than in the righteousness of his cause. In any land where men substitute trickery for integrity, knavery for honesty, might for right, and where justice depends upon a wink and a nod, three people lose respect for law and for those entrusted with its enforcement.
"But those who would destroy all law because of its non-enforcement and gratuit violation are as unwise as one who would burn his house down over his head because there is a leak in the roof."
"Society without law is a miserable failure the world over. The Indian in his surgery and the heathen in his blindness and law a necessity for their well-being. Are we to drop back and try what even these have discarded centuries age? Have we not drifted too far and too fast in that direction already?"
"The fair name of our city and State has again been disgraced, and in our disgraced the whole American people must suffer. For we are inseparably joined and must fall together. Our hands are stained with鲜血, begged and our beaten thieves is but the hollow medies of protection and freedom and has become the mournful emblem of impotence or sufferer.
For one, I am not willing to stay here in the North and crisselate the South for lawlessness while we have so much to own door. We must look after the Northern beam ere we goat over the Southern note. Lawlessness knows no necessity any race. It is as heartless as the North, as small as porch. It attacks the North today the Jew to-morrow and the Anglo Savior the next day.
"Race riots in New York are inevitable and positive demands, their suppression. There is but one best time to suppress an evil and that is in its incipency. For personal cells, like personal ones, grow when we are asleep as grow Jonah's guard. Stateery could have been crushed in the beginning without a struggle; it was codified and soon took on gigantic proportions. Polygamous could have been banished with but little of fort; it was allowed to spread until threatened the home of the American people. Lynching could have been killed in death, but it was tolerated until a new life is safe who is accused of indemnity. Recent race riots would have been unknown until they meted out to the guilty parties in the plot. But there were miscarriages, like white washing of the officers, and denying of the offenses, which have stimulated to the lowness of one race, with harass, maltreatment and incite the hostility of the other race to revenge, retaliation and violations.
"Whatever the Negro's crimes, and they are many, they have never been the aggressors in any of the recent one attacks yet they have furnished nearly all the rosts and have been the sufferers from the police club and gun.
"If the law would shut down every day and den and drive out of the city every idler, gambler, drunkard and sportsman, it would do my people a service. This case is our worst enemy and are mill stones about our necks, but even these are human flesh in every riot these people are generally touched, and the industrious, self-respecting people are the victims of the police crime brutality.
"It what right or whose authority deplores of New York club unarmed men in the station house, breaking the timber some and causing the death of others. What's the use of courts, if the officers have turned judges and jury? There are many very many, excellent men on the force there is a large number of unprincipled characters, and the transferring and shifter around of these men is not sufficient to demands their expulsion from a body when their conduct has disgraced and their association has tacitised."
"In this state of affairs we have all the conditions of continued race plots, and the material for conflagration, a match from an elder's hand will be all that is necessary. Is why I plead this evening that we restore this basis of confidence and the Negroes will disarm without any injury from the commissioner of suggestion from the pulitr.
"Three things are absolutely necessary restoring this basis of confidence; honest and thorough investigation of cent riots; (2) the suspension or the outbreaks of guilty officers; and (3) the arrests outbreaks of the incitants and law-actors, whether white or black. A tough whatever his complication. We no more a badge of innocence than is a proof of guilt."

OBITUARY.
Joseph McCray.
Mr. Joseph Metray, who died on July 25 at his late residence, 304 West 38th street, was born in Peterburg, Va., 65 years ago. His funeral took place Sunday, July 30, from the Alysina Baptist church, of which he was a member for years. He died in the full triumph of Christlain faith, having been converted in Baltimore some forty years ago. His last words were, "I am all right. The parting hour has come. The ship is waiting and I am going aboard her. I am leaving a loving wife, two sisters, one brother, a daughter and a host of friends to mourn their loss. While in Peterburg, Va., he was a member of the Oak Street Methodist church. The wife has had two children, a daughter and a father, the church a consistent Christlain and the community at large mourn the loss, knowing that our loss is his eternal gain. We will pray for them. May the family cast their fears on Jesus and not forget to pray.

PAPER II.
There is nothing to illustrate of the power of great characters in a community as the recent "race riots" in New York city, only here it is illustrated in a negative sense, in the absence of much great characters as are needed to prevent those trying civil in our social conditions. Precisely the same condition of living as exists here is seen in other communities, without producing the same results. This is the more observable when contrasting the cities of Boston and New York Negroes and Irish live in close proximity in both cities, i.e. Negro districts close upon Irish districts, can be found in both. In the one there are periodical outbreaks and race riots; while in the other there is peace, comparatively, continually. Why is this? The same races, the same conditions of living, but widely different results. There must be a reason for this, which in my opinion, is neither more nor less than the absence in the one of certain great characters; men who mould public opinion, such as have lived in the other; men after whose death even, their force and example still live; their spirits actually live after their bodies lie mouldering in the clay. For instance, who will deny that the spirits of Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Henry Wilson and John Andrew, their voices and wills, example and influence for human brotherhood, liberty and equality, still live in Boston? And now let me add another name of one equally loved and deserving, of John Boyle O'Reilly. What Negro indeed is not aware, every moment, of his remarkable influence in cementing the two races in common brotherhood and mutual respect? What Negro within the limits of the State of Massachusetts has not felt the brotherly and liberty loving spirit of the Boston Pilot, that greatest of Irish Roman Catholic newspapers, which carries forward the work of Boyle O'Reilly, long after his body lies mouldering in the grave? And, indeed, what Negro in New York, city has not felt the want of the spirit and presence of an O'Reilly and a Pilot? These and these only are wanting in New York city to make these two races live peacefully side by side, death ried away from New York, all by early Archbishop Hughes, the church robed liberty, law and order of their greatest champion, of one who willing to do so much for the promotion of brotherly love and respect between races, when she garged and silenced Father McLennan. The demon of race prejudice would have been driven into the son, here as in Boston, had he lived unshucked and in silencing him the poor city and the blues, which are at the door of the church, isn't it queer that the rule of the church after the death of Archbishop Hughes in the diocese of New York seems to be marked by the spirit of repression and an endeavor to still the voices of those whose souls were burning to cry out against oppression and for common rights of oppression and for the voice of McLennan, and they made tremendous efforts to silence Father Sylvester Malone. Why? is a question which has puzzled the minds of observing Afro-American New Yorkers for years. We have seen here too many of the liberty-loving, humanity-loving, in the church to think that its sentiments against liberty and fraternity, in the church mutant and in a field crying in blood. With the single exception of the Irish-American, the Negroes in peace with everybody in the city of New York. But, with the advent of that people in large numbers in New York, (I thing it is noted by Lydian Martin Child, in her "Letters From New York" over sixty years ago) the common war upon the Negroes, indeed, is of the profound impact of the student of human nature, is why a people transferred to a land of freedom and for the first time enjoying freedom from oppression themselves should become more pronounced than all others in their hatred of those who, like themselves, are endeavoring to escape from intolerable conditions, only by owning up, by their own assumption of ownership, power and authority, but in quite as marked a sense have the Italians and the Jews suffered
Having a knowledge of the prevailing language on their coming here, the captured at a near the whole police department the old-ermann chaundry the courts of justice; by their political activity; and they took to themselves the public employments, street cleaning; ditch digging and janitorial places in public buildings. They took to themselves the stewardoring, car and cab driving, hod carrying, bricklaying, fruit peddling and run selling, and early summed the tone and of those whose discovery or invoked things in sight, and had left them the patent right. And when, about thirty years ago, the Italianes began to come in in great numbers don't you remember how immediately they were set upon by the owners of everything in sight? Certainly, all of us who have here thirty years or more, remember for full blood letting those two races, but warthy descendants of Romans never blinded nor slackened their pace, they came on and on in increasing numbers, and fought the patent-right follows into the last ditch; until now, you see it is the Italian who digs the ditches and the big holes under ground, opens up the new highways, builds water works and dams, hod lays the brick, opens the collar wags, loads and ships, does all the fruit, cleans up everything, picks in everything, lets nothing be wasted, lets other people alone, and is let alone by the aforementioned patent-righters, who have learned by bitter experience. For the Italian is a human bee; he will work every day and hour and extract honey from everything he can; he will beware if he will be wishing you, and you'll remember it, too. The man in America to-day.
The Jew doesn't sit at all. The Negro sometimes stings. The Jew, notwithstanding he suffers much at the hands of the original owner of things, doesn't cross his path in such a manner as to cite his covetousness or envy. He himself himself does not livelihood that the Jew doesn't take to. He pedals shoes, shoe laces, blacking, pins, needles, toys, tinware, crockery, matches, eyeglasses, old shoes old, old clothes, hats, caps, millinery and jewelry, etc., but he never digs nor does say thing that requires musculature. In timid, too, he always retreat befor wild and threatening look and unplified club of the man in brass butters; he runs to cover and hears his ham.
All these races would seem to be in peace, comparatively. If he could only be blest with another John Boyle O'Brien,

FIGHTING "JIM CROW."
In Louisiana Town Boycott Is Attributed
to the children.
To the Editor of the NEW YORK AGE:
I have read your editorial advising Afro-Americans of the South to boycott street cars that obey "Cim Crow" laws in violation of the Constitution of the United States; and think your advice just such as any man having respect and love for his people would say amen to "Cim Crow" cars were passed by the State of Louisiana, and I wish that Afro-Americans from all over the country could come to Shreveport and see us boycott cars that obey "Cim Crow" laws. If you see an Afro-American on the cars here he is a stranger or a countryman; and then their children, playing along the tracks, will clap their hands behind their backs to joll for there’s a screen on the cars separating the whites and blacks. When the law passed our leaders in every church, the law passed our leaders in every city, the law passed our leaders in every court, the cars, and even the power classes will have nothing to do with them.
Mr. Jacobs, the president of the street "Cim Crow" law was a publicity that it caused his company during three months to lose 60 per cent, of its earnings. We have two very friendly officers for 25 cents, and they are well patronized. Conditions such as these draw our people under good leaders, together.

COMEDIANS' HIGH SALARIES
Williams & Walker Make More Than
U. S. Supreme Court Justices.
The fact that Williams & Walker, the greatest black-face comedians on the stage in any country, received 144 awards and that each of their proceeds exceeds the salary of Chief Justice Failer and his associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, makes it clear that he moves the Buffalo New York News of July 15 to refer to Williams & Walker in a very prejudiced and derogatory manner. This is an exhibition of "our grapes" and prejudice that even so evidently a coarse person as its writer, ought to ashame to exhibit and that the comedians are sorry to say, connected with leading daily newspapers throughout the North. Many of them are from the South. All ought to be aware of the Tillman-Vardham breed of prejudiced cattle.
The information an as to Williams & Walkora's last year's receipts was disclosed as a result of the legal battle being waged between Seeman, their old managers on the one side, and Dockster, who seeks to become their manager, on the other.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 7. — The Army American people of the city as well as of the country at large will be pleased to know that the first state will mark the location of the new Presidential hospital has been driven in that the work of constructing the building will begin at once. The new building is to occupy the order of the seven acres square on Powers' street directly opposite the present hospital. This big plot of ground was deeded to the government for this purpose by the trustees of Howard University, and Congress implemented this by appropriating $300,000 for the erection of a new, modern building with all modern improvements.
A word about the early history of Freedmen's hospital will not be out of place here. It had its beginning in the city of Philadelphia, and later colored people. It grew out of the prosperity of Gen. O. G. Howard. It has grown step by step until it is known to countless people that for itself or for itself be freed by fear if any charitable institutions in the land. The new building and the big appropriation come from the need of patients it makes no difference between residents and non-residents, and there are no barriers of color or creed or condition. The care given them is given an opportunity to show what they can do in the domain of medical science. Each year six young people are given the opportunity to practice with a thorough knowledge and mastery of their profession. It also courses to the medical students. It also courses to the medical students in a faculty for client advantages, being one of the few such situations where young colored men can obtain such practical experience. It also holds by men who stand high in surgery and the science of medicine, namely, Dr. Chas, B. Purve Dr. Daniel, H. Williams, Dr. William A. Warfield, and Dr. William A. Warfield, the present incumbent. To Dr. Warfield's energy and persistence and excellent administration of affairs due for the bright future of the hospital.
Since the completion of the new "big bridge" which connects Alexandria, V.I., with Washington to the densities of Washington, in nearly all of the big passenger engines in the Southern railway lines may be closed firemen brought the train right of these engines, the were left in Alexandria and smaller lighter engines brought the train right of all the trains, the all way, and colored firemen may be seen dark in the tracks of the 10th street station. The little rumor which has been heard is that the Jacobs Monday barely missed a big mishap turnout to be a canard, a false alarm. The report is thought to have been started by Wesley.
- The District National Guards left Camp Ordway, on Hollow Heights near Harper's Ferry, last Wednesday for the amusement under Major Arntt. Brooks turned out in full quota of men and a fine show in route to the B. & O. railway station, Dahlgren. Major Arntt turned out in Harper's Ferry during the encampment lawyer E. John E. Collins has drawn first blood from the Washington, Arlington and Falls hurricane relief effort, a conductor for assault upon Mr. William A. Tartton, a passenger, several weeks ago. It has been the custom of these conductors to build dome-shaped towers at the terminal of the line at Rostyn. The assault upon Mr. Tartton was particularly brutal and embarrassing, he being in the company of two years old at the Ballast court house, Alexandria County, Va., and although the conductor had an array of witnesses who came to the court under $500 bond, Mr. Collins proposes to follow this case up with action against the company for damages.

Regular Correspondence of Tom Addis
CHICAGO, IL. August 7. Among the public questions of recent and present discussion, the increase of crime, in the United States is by far the most amusing and interesting. In the notable address made by Secretary Taft recently there is made for which this Nation should be ashamed, in the increase of crime and the apparent inability of the people to grapple with it. A more careful and scientifically than ever before into the causes and responsibility for this criminal tendency in the United States is being made. The latest publication of the Atlanta Conference is, perhaps, the most comprehensive and reliable investigation of this kind, so far as it concerns the Negro's part in this criminal record, ever made in this country. It should be in the hands of every Negro student, because the duty of contributing our mite to gil efforts made to lessen criminality amongst us is currently incumbent upon every man and nation of influence and intelligence.
it has been recently stated that there is more homicides in Georgia in one year than in the entire British empire.
According to data compiled by the city
statistic of Chicago, persons born in
America under the influence of free
immigrants and a free government are re-
sponsible for more disorder than foreign-
men when all nationalities are considered
truly. The figures derived from
records of arrests for the first three
million offenses for which members of the
nation rises are most frequently arrest-
ed as follows:
attacks for attacks on women.
Grieks, for attacks on women.
Russians, for receiving stolen property.
Italians, for carrying concealed weapons
and working confidence games.
1. Working counterterrorism by carrying concealed weapons,
military arms.
Bish, for resisting officers. Negroes stand third on the list after Greeks and Germans for the offense of attacks upon women. During the same period of three months there were in this city 115 arrest of colored people, or 7.5 percent of the Negro population. This percentage is higher than that of any of the other races compared, except the Ger-
A further study of these figures shows that the largest number of these arrests among colored people are for minor offenses. The many serious crimes of murder, burglary, larceny and forgery, are as compared to those committed by the more favored races.
The following Afro-Americans are returned from active service in the Pullman Company and receive $50 per month for their support: Misses F. Armstrong, F. P. Johnson, Mitchell, Jerry Albright, Moss Brown, Cutter, Davenbach and H. Smith. I understand that there are four of these others, but I have not been able to locate them. These men are veterans in the service of the Pullman company and have well earned the kindness that allows their support when old age has justified them for further work. There are few exceptions open to Afro-Americans in this country in which they have an opportunity to earn a reward of the kind. Do they make the most of it? I did find the pension list would be the most favored race.
Among the new books just out is found the Musicians' Library in Mrs. S. Coleridge-Taylor. The book is twenty-four. Negro melodies. The songs here given are of a great merit. Mr. Taylor's genius is in the important variations of melodies. Those of us who were acquainted with us and hear Mr. Tay's all too brief visit to America will be interested in this collection. An important feature is the introduction written by Dr. Baldwin T. Washington. It is written by Mr. Washington's happy friend. I will know play for the children in this book with Negro prose. It will be such a thing as Negro poetry to what it is and its presumption of development in Mr. Tay's new book than in anything else on this subject. The publication brought out by Dodd, Mende, Boston, Mass.

Dr. Robert E. Washington was in Oklahoma twice during his work. He frequented Chicago on Sunday, July 20, on his way to Chicago. He, where he was scheduled to speak of one of the Chattanooga summonses. He was accompanied to that city by Mr. B. Lajing Williams, who reports the Chattanooga meeting as a wonderful demonstration of interest in Tuskegee's principal. For fully two hours he held that vast audience of nearly 4,000 people to a high pitch of intense interest. It barely could quiver upon reception to receive the latter tribute of praise and congratulation than that given by the elders when he had concluded his address. Thousands of men, women and children pressed to the platform to shake his hand and give assurances of their delight in seeing and hearing him and expressing an interest in the cause he so eloquently presented.
In the audience there were many men and women whose memories could take them back through fifty years when, almost on the same spot, they listened to the oratorical power of the great Lincoln, when he gave utterance to his historic aphorism that "this country could not long endure half free and half slave." The gist of Dr. Washington's Galesburg address was a logical following out of the same truth, to the effect that there can be no harmonious progress, no certainty of peace and no amity of relationship in our midst so long as members of his race could be forced to live below their deserving in this country.
On Sunday evening, the colored people of the little city, numbering about 600 in all, clamored to have Dr. Washington speak to them. With his usual accommodating spirit, he expressed a ready willingness to meet with and speak to them. In this willingness, however, he found himself face to face with a denominational dilemma. He found them divided into two camps, Methodist and Baptist, and each church insisted upon having Mr. Washington in its own little tent all to itself. It was obviously impossible for him to be in both places at the same time, and it was also a waste of time and effort to press or to churches on the same evening and within a stone's throw from each other. But the denominational separateness was stronger than a Tuskegee president. He was obliged to yield and consent to speak in each church, which he did much to the satisfaction of both churches.
From Galesburg, Dr. Washington went to the Negro town of Buckston, Iowa. His coming to this county was a notable event. He also delivered another address at Chaltran, another Chataquas assembly. The remarkable thing about this Western trip of Mr. Washington's was the well sustained interest of the people in the man. There was as much rest and strength of general interest in the man himself and his work as if this were his first appearance. The managers of these Western Chataquas are perhaps in a better position than anyone else to know who are the most popular and best drawing men on the lecture platform, and they unhesitatingly classed Dr. Washington as the first of the three most popular lecturers, Washington, Bryan and LaFollette of Wisconsin.
An incident showing Mr. Washington's popularity is the fact that he was offered $500 for one lecture this week, for which he was not scheduled, but he was obliged to decline this offer because it was too close with an engagement he had in New York to the Committee of Twelve. These same Chairs of Agents are urgently offering Mr. Washington the most flattering offers for next season. FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS.

Introduction of the Negotiation That It Is
of a Low Grade—As Bridgman,
a Compassionate Writer by a LK-En-
cased Thinking Girl, Graduate Which
Won Trinity Prize.
There is an unjust impression abroad that in our industrial schools the academic courses are not all that they should be. They are popularly imagined to be merely ancillary to the industrial courses and to be little esteemed per se. This is an error. We remember the admiring astonishment of the superintendents of education who visited Tuskegee some time ago at the height the academic work there attains, under the direction of Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce. As an evidence that their astonishment was well-grounded, we reprint below the essay entitled, "Some of the Values of Good Books," by Miss Carrie Lucile Stewart, which won the Trinity prize in the graduating class of '05, Tuskegee Institute, an essay which, in our opinion, would do credit to any high school sophomore:
"The man who said, 'Let me make the songs of a people, and I care not who makes their laws,' might well have said, 'Let me make the books of the people and I care not who makes the laws.' If it is not one kind of book it is another that makes appeal to every educated man, and the influence of the books we read as well as the influence of other associations, largely effects our actions.
"Out of the many classes of books, I have selected the three that are most generally valued, namely, histories, novels, and poetical compositions. And I shall endeavor to show how each of these classes is valuable, by using some types of each as specific examples.
"Among histories, we can find no book that has done more for the people'about whom it is written than Green's 'History of the English People'. Just as a family has more pride when they know of ancestors whose lives have been noble and inspiring, so has a people who can look back on noble generations of the past. This book has made stronger the patriotism of the English people. It has helped them to profit by the mistakes those who came before them made; and to-day they stand a great nation whose government has stood as a model for many other nations.
"In direct contrast to them we see the fate of nations who have not had histories, of whom we have no written records. In the days of the adventurous Norsenman, their actions were recorded only in their memories and in the memories of their children. The intense cold of the Scandinavian peninsula drew them around their fires at evening, and there, in the midst of the family groups, the thrilling stories of during soamen were told. Sometimes they were sung as beautiful ballads but, however told, were always extremely fascinating. It took only a short while though, only a period of a few years, before these legends were entirely changed, and instead of relating facts, the people were simply relating myths. So to day, while we have almost no definite history of the Norsenman, the English people stand out with all their civilization as a people to be after. This is, largely due to the fact that they have one long-record of their lives. There is one other his which has prompted one of the greatest enterprises the world has known. It was the influence of a book written by Marco Polo, concerning his travels in the East, that largely influenced Columbus to make his first voyage to America. Histories then, have two great values: they stimulate and make nations more patriotic and they inspire and encourage individuals.
"But usually as great as the influence of histories is the influence of novels. My novels of course we mean the novels with a purpose, the novels that are written with an idea of helpfulness. One type of these novels is, Mrs. Stowey's 'Tide Top' 'Cabin'. No one would question the value of this book. The country was in a state of doubt, awaiting something that would cause action. Four million black souls were grazing in the darkness on the verge of despair; four million black souls were waiting for some ray of light, when one raid little woman on his street, his sister gave in in the addition that she did much as much in the addition that for the freedom of our people. We are told that when Mr. Lincoln met her, he said, 'And is this the little woman who caused the war?' That question shows that her book had more influence than all the preachers, philosophers and teachers of the time.
"Another type of the novel that has done much for another people is found in Count Tolstoi's books on the Russian peasant life. In Russia a slavery has been existing for some time almost as great as that which we had in America. These books are showing to the public the conditions under which the majority of Russians are laboring, conditions which otherwise would be tabular and of little interest. The great interest which many people have been taking in the war between Russia and Japan has been created largely by reading these novels of Tolstoi."
"I think that we will agree with the writer in saying that the novel is the missing link between society and literature; for the novel is read by many who would not take the time to read heavier literature and to whom poetry does not appeal. But to the countless numbers of natures, who long for something" higher and more inspiring than daily surroundings, to the countless numbers of natures whom song all that is beautiful appeals. "The Vision of Sir Lafunnel by James Russell Lowell has taken its message to all who have read it, the words Not to be forgotten, the words not gift without the giver is bare, have been the cause of many a charity. Some men live and die with beautiful thoughts always in their minds. The thoughts that are in the poetry eling longer to them. This poem, with all its beautiful descriptions and dreaming passages has shown us the key to better living.
"Greater, however, than this have been some of the words spoken by Shakpele's characters: his poems have served every purpose that any divine messages could serve. A scene forever to be remembered was that of Tennyson's death, when 'the full moon looked the great landscape outside, with hills and the deep blue water, and, clasping his Shakpele's pearl, and, chasing his Shakpele's opened to a passage in 'Cymbeline' to get a last thought, and with those lines on his line he passed into an everlasting silence. He had valued that poem enough to carry a thought from it to eternity.
"So, if the inspiration which comes from the study of history the great truths taught by reading novels, and the messages of such masterpieces as Shakespeare's drama and great poems like Tragedy and Fallacy, will be baked, this world of our will blossom with happiness constantly, and we will indeed be masters of our fate, for Pennyson has said, "Turn fortune, turn they wheel, with smile in that mind whil we not go up or down. For man is man and master of his fate."
