"THE CLANSMAN" DAMNED THOMAS DICKSON'S PLAY DISPLAYED RICHMOND WHITE PRESS Leannured on False Posturgal of Ku- klai Khan Conditions—Virginia African-American Fighting for Political Life or Death—A. W. Harris a good Leader Who Will Get Out All the Colored Vote—Hymen's Torch Burns Brightly—Daughter of Giles H. Jackson Dread RICHMOND, Va., October 2.—The thirteenth season in Richmond was fully completed last week when Thomas Dixon, Jr., staged his play, "The Clansman," in the Academy of Music Tuesday night. Readers of TIME Age know that "The Clansman" as staged has a blending in it of the Leopard's Spots," both of which have for their purpose the making of Afro-Americanus and the hope of staking up race prejudices in the South. It is made from the tone of the Richmond white press, this pulpititor who has portrayed the aerobic feat of bounding from the pulpit to the stage; gets no more emotions from the Southern press than he did here in Richmond, he might as well want at the end of his Southern tour this season "Finis." "The Clansman" lives in the dead past," and as the Richmond press says, is not a correct portrayal of the conditions that actually existed in the days of the Ku-Klux Klan. It was soundly and soundly denounced by the entire white press of Richmond. If Richmond be a criterion, "The Clansman" should be an ignominious death. The Republican campaign in Virginia is assuming a most aggressive attitude, Judy L. L. Lewis, the nominee, is making a great convoy. A peculiar feature of the campaign is that there are two full-fledged Republican organizations in the State, the regular organization, with Hon. C. Regism Slump as chairman; and the United Republican association of Virginia, with Hon. A. W. Harris, as chairman. Both organizations are working in complete harmony, both intent upon bringing to the full vote of their respective members in the November election. Notwithstanding the Afro-American's fealty to the Republican party in the past, his personal status in the future is to be determined by the vote, which he polls in the coming election. Mr. Harris is making a big fight all over the State, organizing to get out the Afro-American vote, and meeting with decided success. He is prominently the Afro-American political leader of the State and his work will be here in Richmond a strong Law-capitol has been organized among Afro-American Republicans.

GARRISON'S 100TH ANNIVERSARY. Dr. Washington suggests That It Be Celebrated by the Rose. To the Editor of The New York Age: I think it fitting to remind your readers and four people throughout the country that December 10 will mark the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison, and it seems to me most proper that some form of celebration as nearly uniform in character as possible should be decided upon in which our people could take part throughout the United States. I confess at the moment I have nothing definite in mind, but I think a discussion of the subject through the press and in other public ways will soon load us to some definite conclusion as to the proper method of having a fitting celebration of the birth of the man to whom our race and the world in general are so greatly indebted. Some concerted action in this matter could wisely be taken by our organizations. Since the anniversary comes on Sunday, perhaps one method of celebration might be to have addresses and sermons delivered in all the colored churches on that day throughout the country bearing upon the life and services of Mr. Garrison. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. CANAL LABORERS REDEL. Martinique Workmen Beaten Before They Would Blamebear. COLON, October 1.—A shipboard of laborers brought here from Martinique on the French steamer Versailles to-day to work on the Panama Canal gave the causal zone and Panaman police all they could do for a while. Of the 650 workmen, 500 were with much difficulty persuaded to disembark, while the other, 150, declaring they had been deceived as to conditions here, refused any under circumstances to land, and, when threatened with buyouts and guns by the police, laged their breasts and arrows they would the before going ashore. As the canal zone police were insufficient to cope with laborers, President Amador of Panama, was requested to allow the use of his police; and at 4 p. m. all the officers boarded the ship and, as the workmen again barred their breasts and invoked death, began clubbing them promiscuously. Many of them were soon bleeding from grievous wounds; fifty in a panic leapt into the sea and swam ashore; while the rest in despair came ashore. At 5 o'clock, in a pitiful condition, they were driven on the train for Corozal, where they will be put to work. JEALOUS OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Montgomery and Tuskegee Town Berkshire Husky's Time There. MONTGOMERY, Ala., September 29.—Notwithstanding the city council of this town had invited President Roosevelt to visit here during his Southern trip, a resolution to appropriate for his entertainment $250 out of the city funds was held up at yesterday's special meeting of the council. The cause for this action was jealousy of Booker Washington and the Tuskegee Institute, at which the President will stay considerably longer than he will at Montgomery. The money may be, however, appropriated at the council's next meeting. The town of Tuskegee, too, is jealous of the stay which the President will make at the school, which lies about a mile out of the town's power. When Secretary Looh wired Mr. Lewis of Tuskegee to cooperate with Dr. Washington in arranging for his entertainment, the Mayor replied that the town's arrangements would be entirely separate and distinct from the school's. In reply, the President allowed the town one small half-hour of his time. The white South doesn't seem to want the President very badly. TANNER REBUKES BETHEL Tells Members to Control Their Tongues and Get on the Lord's Side. Bishop Benjamin T. Tanner of the A. M. E. church gave the members of Bethel church in West 25th street a piece of his mind Sunday when he preached to them. This is the church which, exasperated by the appointment of Dr. S.Timothy Tice as its presiding elder, threatened to make itself independent unless Tice was boned. Tanner is here to settle the trouble which grew out of this rebellion. In his sermon the bishop said: "Be careful how you use your tongues, for the tongue defileth the whole body and sets everything on fire. It is an unruly evil filled with poison. If you are on the Lord's side you want to know it, but some of you may have been so long in the midnight that you don't know where you stand. Some of your consciences may have become so hardened that you don't know whether you the children of light or darkness, but you want to remember that the power of God is ever regiant in the affairs of men, and you should let your troubles die." KILLED WIFE AND PARAMOUR. James Clayton Chief Actor in Harlem Tragedy—Drawa Color Line on Rival. On last Sunday morning James Clayton of 192 West 134th street, shot and instantly killed his wife and her parmour, Jacob Hannan, who was a boarder in their flat. Many quarrels had taken place over the boarder between Clayton and his wife, and Clayton had secured from Magistrate Wahle an order for Hannan to move in. When this order was disregarded Clayton threatened to kill Hannan if he didn't leave, and as he didn't, bought a 38 calibre revolver to make good the threat. James Clayback Sunday Clayton stole into the house and shot his wife and Hannan as they lay in bed. Clayton was soon apprehended and taken before Coroner Goldenkraps, who sent him to Tombs prison without bail. When asked by the Coroner if Hannan was a colored man, Clayton replied: "No, sir. I'm a colored man; Hannan was a black man." JON ALONTO R. R. HOLLY DR. ALONZO P. B. HOLLY. Career of Haytiah Who Will Lecture at St. Phillip's on October 12. Dr. Alonzo P. B. Holly, late consul for Hayti to the Bahamas, president of the board of trustees of the Bayton Normal and Industrial school at Nassau, N. P. Bahamas, is the son of Rt. Rev. James Theodore Holly, missionary bishop of the republic of Hayti and the first Negro priest elevated to the bishopric by the Protestant Episcopal church of the United States, having been consecrated on November 8, 1874, in Grace church, New York city. His son Alonzo was 1971. P. P. Prince on September 21, 1875, and was named after Bp. Alonzo Potter of New York and Bp. Burgess of Maine. He attended the schools of that city, and left the Lycee Potion in 1878 to go to Harrison college, Barbados. His guardian there was the Rt. Rev. John Mithinson, D. D. D. C. L. Bishop of Barbados, and Fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford. Young Holly worked his way up from the first form up to the upper fourth in 1881 when he was taken to England by his guardian, the Bishop, who had been offered a living in England by his college. Up, Mitchinson treated young Holly as his adopted son, so much so that at a lunchon given at Bishop's court, by the Bishop, to the two young princes, the present Prince of Wales and his deceased brother, young Holly sat next to Prince George, and found His Royal Highness to be a very affable young gentleman. In England he was sent to Queen Elizabeth's grammar school at Atherton, in Warwickshire, whence he graduated in three years. He distinguished himself there by winning the gold medal in 1883, his name being written in gift letters on the special board that hangs in the hall of that school, and which is reserved for the names of the "Gold Medallists." At the age of 17 years, young Holly passed the examinations of the Cambridge University senior boats, obtaining his certificate, duly signed by the chancellor of that great English university for examination, English University College, Latin Greek and French. He also earned a junior class in the examination in science hold under the auspices of the committees on education of Her Majesty's privy council. The certificate states that more than one half of the five thousand students who went up for that examination were plucked. As a compliment to his father, young Holly was sent a special ticket which admitted him to the choir of Canterbury cathedral at the imposing services of the enthronization of Archbishop Benson. He was given a place among the choristers. In one of the stalls to the rear sat Prince Edward of Wales, now King of England. Holly returned to Hayti in 1883. In 1885 he entered the New York Homeopathic Medical college and hospital in a class of 48. He registered in Brooklyn and practiced there one year, then returning to Hayti. Doctor Holly has made a reputation as a lecturer. He considers his best production to be his lecture to the Bahamas Friendly Society, on the "Problems of Our Race: Our Duties and Responsibilities." At 8 p. m. on October 12 he will lecture at St. Philips P. E. church in West 25th street. Hon. Charles W. Anderson will preside. Protective League Committee to Meet. There will be a meeting of the executive committee of the Colored Citizens' Protective League Friday evening to perfect plans for the court trials of both officers and members of the African-American citizens in the "riots" on San Juan hill. Mr. Fred. Johnson's Honor. Omission was made last week of the election of Mr. Fred Johnson as captain of the 34th Election district and as a member of the city committee of the 10th Assembly district. Anderson Gets Two More Appointments Mr. Archie Roberts, treasurer of the Colored Republican club of New York city, has been promoted to jallyman in the custom house service of the welters' department. Mr. Edward Flowers, treasurer, appointed to detail tool house keeper. Both appointments were made by General Clarkson upon the recommendation of Hon. Charles W. Anderson. ASOTHER POLICE OUTRAGE. Inspector Schmittberger and Captain Douby, the new "Czar of the Tender-boon," swapped down, Friday afternoon, on "Johnny" Johnson's Bon Ton Social club, an Afro-American organization, at 118 West 31st street, beloled with their clubs the craniums of all the 200 inmates and with axes chopped down the pool tables and smashed the pictures, chairs and tables—all this without a warrant. The ugliest possible charges are made against Schmittberger and Douby in connection with this raid. The former, it is said, disdinishing the gloomy chamber in windows and in the head of his prisoner and then abuzzing a chair hurried it into the crowd of surprised patrons of the place. "Get at the _____," he is said to have yelled, setting his men on. They, incited by their leader's words and example, hastened to act the part of the officers in the funny papers who always turn up in time to demolish Happy Hogan. A two-inch scantling was ripped from the wall and used endon as a battering ram. If a man delayed to get a move on he was rammed in the stomach or clubbed on the head. Will Owens, a consumptive, who ventured to concentrate in behalf of a dog which was about to be shot, was grinned in the stomach and held up by the hand at the mouth. "Johnny" Johnson got his head cracked, the bartender's arm was broken and several others were so badly used up that they had to be carried home. Then all the inmates were ordered to become, and when they stamped for the door found that they had to run the gamble of several cop armed with clubs and behalal boots. Each man's departure was accelerated by a crack on the head or a good swift kick; and there was no escape, for if they turned back the battering ram and numerous night-sticks awarded them, went through the three doors occupied by the club and wrecked everything wreckable. This rail has caused a great scandal. Lawyers have been engaged to bring suit against the inspector and captain on behalf of the club for the damages done its property; and on behalf of several individuals, for assault and battery. On Saturday night the club was filled with armed colored men, who were just wishing that the police would return. But they didn't show up. On Monday Mayor McCulloh confounded Police Commissioner McDougby by demanding of him an apologetic language on increased constipation and report on the culled raid. The commissioner, greatly worried, has put Dooley and Solihunger on the rack, and it is hoped, as the first result of the investigation, that they will be bounced from the foe for their high-handed, illegal and outrageous actions. Congord Baptist Church Notes. At the Concord Baptist church last Sabath morning covenant meeting was led by Dr. W. T. Dixon. At 12 o'clock baptism was administered to five candidates by the pastor. The Sunday school held an interning session at 2 o'clock and at 3:30 the church rejoices those being in attendance. At 7:30 Eddie Dixon preached the second annual sermon to Mount Nebo barkernacle order numbers and made a fire showing. On Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock the first fall meeting of the Loyal Temperance legion was held in the lecture room and was provided in the room a charge of the juvenile work of the W. C. T. U. The children responded nobly to the call of the mother union and there was a decided and encouraging increase in new members. The children also took charge of the union praised and there were timely, addresses delivered to the delight, and instruction of the children by Deacon R. Lincoln Powell, Mrs. N. B. Dodson, Mrs. Alice, Mrs. N. Zeno, Mrs. Robertson and Henry H. Greene. The officers of the legion are: Martha Walton, president; Irene Barrett, secretary; Lillian Carnard Dodson, treasurer; and Miss Christina Good to the upper lecture room where refreshments were served in abundance. A Sermon Against Excesses. OSTENVILLE, Mass., September 30.—A farewell sermon was preached here by the Rev. Joseph W. Mayo of New York, at the First Baptist church, of which Rev. A. D. Matliner is pastor. The sermon was one of striking interest. The speaker said in part: "I commend Osterville high all the work that it does not exempt you from sin, for drinking is recognized in the word of God as no greater sin than that of eating and talking. If you drink too much you become drunkard; you eat too much you become ill; if drinking too much you become a liar, tattletale and backbiter; it is the excess only, that leads to sin." AUTOS, AFTER ALL, MAX, FAIL. NASHVILLE, Tenn., September 30. Councilman E. M. Wrenne has announced his determination to introduce in the new city council, which meets October 17, a bill prohibiting the operation of automobiles as common carriers in the central part of the city within certain limits. This bill, its author confesses, is aimed at the automobiles which Afro-American citizens have purchased to fight the "Jim Crow" cars of this city. "By the bill," says Mr. Wrenne, "the operation of automobiles as common carriers on Church street from Third to Eighth avenue; on Third, Fourth; and Fifth avenues, from Union to Church street, and on Union street, from Third to Fifth avenue, is prohibited. Traffic on these streets is very congested at times. Very large automobiles have been purchased by the company of colored people, who propose to provide means of transportation for members of their race; and the regular operation of them on the streets named would tend to aggravate the congestion, on the streets. The automobiles are large enough to accommodate twenty-five or thirty passengers. "Diversion of patronage from the street car company to some other transportation company operating vehicles from point to point, in the city would be regrettable, as a reduction of revenue of the street car company would occasion a reduction of revenue paid by the company for maintenance of parks." The five automobiles purchased in New York have arrived and are housed in the undertaking establishment of Rev. Taylor, pending the completion of the garage on Cherry street. Efficient chauffeurs have been engaged, and the operation of the machines will begin in a few days. GQRMAN'S ALLURING OFFER. Maryland Can Get Rid of Him If It WHI Disframmehie Afro-Americans BALTIMORE, September 29.—Senator Arthur P. Gorman made a speech yesterday at the close of the Democratic State convention in which he offered Maryland a very attractive bargain. He said that the State could get rid of him for good if it would pass his bill for disfranchising the Afro-American voters. There are many people here who would be happy to be quit of Gorman at any price; but they are unlikely to take up his bargain because it is understood that he intends to bequeath his political mantle, in the event of his retirement, to his son, Arthur P. Gorman, Jr., who is a chip of the old block. Senator Gorman has been the Democratic boss of Maryland for thirty years, and he was the Czar of the convention this year. The New York Times says: "All the other speechmaking being ended the Senator himself took the stage and replied to the charges made by the Republicans that the amendment was intended to benefit him personally by enabling the Democratic machine to retain control of the State and assure his return to the Senate. He declared that he had always been consistent in fighting South and that he now sought to lift the pull from Maryland without any hope of reward. He referred to ex-Col, Carroll, who addressed the convention, as having stood with fain and voted in the State Legislature against the Fifteenth Amendment. "Then the Senator made the declaration that if the amendment was carried at the polls in the November fight he would agree never again to seek office, but if through a combination of Republicans and disaffected Democrats and mugwumps it should be defeated he would keep on fighting for the same cause. "This is taken to mean that it is the amending bill that is certain, he will again endeavor to succeed himself, and that if the amendment is carried he will push forward his son Arthur P. Gorman, Jr., to the party leadership, with the view of making him United States Senator. Young Gorman is now a State Senator. Following is, in part, the platform adopted at the convention: "By common consent, the only issue in this campaign is whether Negro suffrage, put upon us against our will by force, shall be restricted, and its power for evil destroyed: "This Democratic convention, representing two-thirds of the white people of the State, reaffirms the declaration of our party in the platforms of 1899 and 1903 upon this subject, and now proclaims our resolute purpose to maintain the supremacy of our race and its control by all lawful and constitutional means in the constitution of the political affairs of the State. "The Negro vote, as it stands to-day, is a perpetual menace to the prosperity and peace of Maryland—a menace to our very civilization—for it is ignorant, corrupt; the blind instrument of unscrupulous and selfish leaders."

ANTI-NEGRO PLANK, HE SAYS, WAS JUSTIFIABLE. Democratic "Ring" Hope to Succeed by Inflaming Rise Prejudice of White Masses and Spreads "Propest- terous" Prophecies of "Social Equality" Under Republican Rule—These Prophecies Republicans. Thought It Who to Disable by Formally Att- tacking "Social Equality" and "Negro Domination," or in Other Words, Fighting the Devil With Fire. Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte, Rep- ublican leader of Maryland, has issued the following letter, in which he attempts to defend, on grounds of expediency, the planks against "social equality" and "Negro domination" adopted at the recent Maryland Republican convention: "In the campaign now in progress in Maryland, the Democratic 'ring' relies for success, as it has relied for success in many campaigns during the past thirty-five years, upon appeals to race prejudice. To inflame this prejudice, it has frequently circulated, and it circulates now, many utterly false and, indeed, ridiculous stories as to what the Republican party would or might do if entrusted with power by the voters. While these falsehoods are not only absurd in themselves, but conclusively refuted, by experience during the four years of Republican-supremacy in the State, while the late Lloyd Lowndes was governor from 1896 to 1899, they have undoubted weight with a certain class of voters, of whom some are very ignorant and others so intensely prejudiced on this question as to be almost beyond the influence of reason. Some of these preposterous tales are to the effect that a Republican legislature would compel by law certain forms of social intercourse between the two races as, for example, by establishing compulsory attendance at mixed schools, or obliging white children to be taught by colored teachers. Others hold out the alarming prospect that a Republican governor or mayor would appoint a vast multitude of colored officials with no regard to fitness or expediency to all sorts of public positions. Of course, when we had a Republican legislature and a Republican governor, nothing of the kind was done, and the present Republican mayor of Baltimore has made no such selections for public office; nevertheless, some people actually believe these yarns, and others try to persuade themselves there may be some truth in them, so as to vote against their own reason and conscience; and, while such dupes are found, the manufacture of such falsehoods continues. 2*Stories of the first class form part of an outlay against social equality; stories of the second class give such color as they may to an outlay against Negro domination; the resolution of the Republican convention, disclaiming any desire or purpose to promote either of these philological evils, must be understood in the light of the surrounding circumstances, as above set forth. In Maryland it has been so understood, and has attracted little or no comment; outside the State it seems to have been widely misunderstood, by reason of widespread ignorance of the peculiar conditions which prevail with us. "I ought perhaps to add that, although I am the presiding officer of the convention, I did not appoint the committee on resolutions, was not a member of that committee, and did not suggest or advise the adoption of the resolution in question. I do not, therefore, speak for the convention; but, in speaking for myself, on the subject, I feel perfectly confident that I voice the sentiments of all sincerely and earnest Republicans in Maryland." SCRAP IN COLORED DEMOCRACY. Another Primary May Be Held to Settle Content of Lee and Dickerson. Mr. W. H. Dickerson, chief of the United Colored Democracy, and Mr. Edward Lee, chief-elect, are having a first-class fight for supremacy, with Hon. Charles Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, as the judge, jury and ampire. Mr. John Bell is supporting Dickerson and attorney Carr, Mr. Woods and Mr. Ralph Langston are throwing their strength to Mr. Lee. Both factions appeared before Murphy and stated their side of the question. The Dickerson faction alleges that the primaries were irregular and therefore Lee's election invalid. The Lee adherents hold that the primaries were perfectly real, that the primaries were nearly unanimous and that if the last primaries were irregular, they are ready for another and confident of the overwhelming election of Mr. Lee again. Booming Summit Church Gives Pastor a Donation. SUMMIT, N. J., October 3.—The service of the Fountain Baptist church was largely attended on Sunday night. Pastor E. M McDaniels is preaching a series of sermons on "Faith." The women under the leadership of Miss Hattie Whitted are present for the service, and for the benefit of the church, they met on Tuesday, evoking at the home of Mrs Comings, 25 Chestnut avenue. On last Thursday night at the close of the prayer meeting, the pastor and wife were invited over at the home of Mrs Sporrells, 275-Park avenue. The pastor and wife were there, there were quite a number of the members and friends present and after the guests were served with cake and ice cream the pastor and wife were invited into the dining room where they were indeed surreyed. Both the pastor and his wife made short addresses in acknowledgment of their appreciation to Mrs. Hughes and all the ladies and gentlemen who so kindly contributed to the occasion. Beginner Correspondence of the Acm. Pressroom. Pa., October 4.—We are not sometimes to accommodate ourselves upon an improvement in social and civic conditions when in reality we are only caring on a more subtle form of evil. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish a bad principle when manifested in an orgy or pleasing manner. For instance, it is harder to see the viciousness of prevailing Parishian life because of the savvity, the conventional elegance, the effervescent sparkle and supreme gentility surrounding social reminiscences on the Champa Elsevier, than it to recognize the degradation of life in the London East End. though the two are in essence the same. Just now in America, we are in danger of missing the meaning of an insidious evil that is taking the place of the old forms of lynching. This may be characterized as lynching by law, for it consists in making a tacit or express agreement between the court officers and the mob leaders to the effect that, if the accused is allowed to go before the court, a conviction and execution will be guaranteed, the opinion which now so generally condemns mob law is molested and bloodwinked into believing that the majesty of the law has been upheld, and the cause of justice served. In fact, nothing of the kind has been done on the contrary, a conviction and human rights than when, in brutal defence to constituted authority, the mob murdered a victim without forms of law. A noted case in point occurred some weeks ago in Texas, where a Necro-secured of assault upon a white woman was that freely threatened to typhon him when caught. At last, unable to find him, they persuaded the Governor to offer a reward for his apprehension, which he did under the agreement that, if the accused should capture the citizens would allow the law to take place. The Necro was finally apprehended. An understanding was arrived at in the meantime between the court and the citizen that he should be tried and convicted, and hanged without delay in considerers. The court was apprehended him. All forms of law were observed; counsel for the prisoner was appointed by the court; a jury was impaled; the woman in the case was put on the witness stand; the judge delivered the understood verdict was brought in. But here matters slipped a cog or two and all came to naught through the thoughtless zeal of the prisoner's attorney, who, moved either by his oath to give him a job or by his own desire or too anxious to show his legal skill for the admiration of the community, pointed out the fact that the charge of the judge was fatally defective in that it did not state that the evidence was purely criminarial, and that the prisoner should be given a job. But the judge in doubt in the case. On this ground: he moved a new trial. The strength of the exception was so apparent, that, as the judge afterward explained to his indignant constituents, he could do nothing but grant the new trial. It was thus made clear that the Negro's attorney was responsible, and a flood of angry criticism was turned upon him; but first of all, the mob took the Negro from the fine jail, well guarded, with the fine being fired, and handed him to the city bridge. Then they begin to turn their attention to the attorney who had been instrumental in securing a new trial. He, now thoroughly frightened at the turn affair, brought him to the court, staring him in the face, made the following remarkable defence for guarding the interests of his client: That he had been appointed to the defence against his will; that he had all disqualified his will; that he had all failed to refuse to serve him if he did, but that the Negro showed signs of doing so himself; that when he saw the judge's errors and omissions in the charge, he was sure an appeal would succeed in intervening and moved for a new trial in order to hasten, rather than delay, the execution, as a new trial could be had within a week, but an appeal would defer a new trial for a longer period, and as soon as possible; that so far from submitting the assaulted woman to the humiliation of giving evidence, he had not asked her a single question about the alleged crime, but had only asked her before he had been before her in court was the same one she had seen a few weeks before; and on her affirmative answer, had rested. He further complained that this was the second time he had been appointed by the court to serve as a witness, never do so again. On this showing, public feeling against him quoted down. Now, the salient points in this whole transaction are that the granting of the new trial, even though no evidence was fatal or called for, was taken to be a violation and hang a Negro by law to prevent his being hanged by the mob; and that the granting of a new trial for sufficient cause by the judge, and the showing of fatal errors by the defendant's attorney were regarded as crimes to be punished by the people. It was even complained of by the judge. Negro allowed his attorney to take the steps he did, or that he wanted to appeal! Another case, this time in Kentucky, happened on September 14, where a Negro charged with criminal assault was trial by a jury from an adjoining county; which jury arrived after dinner and confessed that the minister deliberated the attorneys for the defence making no effort to appeal. Is it not clear from these instances that we are in greater danger of anarchy and lawlessness from this form of life, taking lawlessness from the mob, which is so manifestly brutal and lawless that no one can mistake its danger to a community? Whenever the courts of the land can say to a mob, "Let us have the man to put him through the door," we can say to the mob that will kill him for you, innocent or guilty, who will say that there is any refuge for the weak and presumably innocent when hounded by the strong and bloodthirsty? Yet, this seems to be the new phase upon which the reign of American lawlessness enters. - Let us not be deceived: let us not be intimidated by the charge that we are, in favor of protecting crime. None know so well as those who say so that it is not worth the punishment of the accused. We demand that the mob shall not take possession of the courts and hold a mortgage on our judges' decisions beforehand. This discounting picture is somewhat relieved by another principle of Third Agr. weight to be cheered, by its rescaled, for while the dispatches tell us it is not yet a closed incident, it is significant in the nature of what has already occurred. A few days ago, in the city of Lifesavers, the former People's Governor Wolf, the reform Democrat had succeeded to be out of the State, leaving Lieutenant Governor McKinley, a Republican, as act- Mr. Browne, the Secretary of the Interior, said that he had been a member of the board of the National Park Service for many years and had been involved in the creation of a national park system. He did not have time in the past to enough to show any better, televised match for the will answer to surmount the challenge. Mr. Browne had only once upon a time to answer the question, while they were nonexistent and did not leave the Negroes in peace. That the end is not yet, does not alter the fact that this is the first time since the War that the American flag has been sung around the Neato as a protection at the whole thing. Now, it is order for the States Rights theorists to assertive to liberty in any such occasion. What! throw the flag around a citizen of the United States, in the United States, to protect him! Shades of Haynes and Calhoun! Upon what times have we heard it? If we had been in Belochistan or Patagonian, might we be excused, if not justified, seeing the protected were black; but in Missouri— Another piece of news comes to unwilling ears in the report of Colonel Colton, holding the title and position of controller and general receiver of the command service of Santo Domingo. It shows that the republic is climbing out of its financial hole and under the fraternal arrangement made by President Roosevelt with the Dominican authorities. The total value of exports for the period reported amounts to $722,448; imports $249,224; a balance of trade in favor of the republic amounting to $777,244. The entire arrangement extended to Harriet I will be on safe financial ground again. Another advantage in this arrangement is that it is virtually a protectorate exercised by the United States over the New York City native owning nations from bullying them in his cooked-up claims, such as they have been too often called upon to pay. If George Washington was first in war, first in battle, then in trumpet in his day, Theodore Roosevelt is first in so many other things that men honor and respect, that the Hon. George should lay his three firsts closely to his own. In dispute among succeeding generations. South Africans, white and black, will not be sorry to bear that the enthusiasm for Chinese labor on the Golden Rand has been waning of late. Of course (observers The Republic), the subsidized press has not yet been permitted to proclaim the "experiment" as the introduction of Chinese into the Transvaal is called, a failure. But there are indications that even the mine owners, themselves are not very anxious for the importation of more coolies. At the time of the agitation it was argued that the "Chowz" were more industrious, more intelligent, and generally better workmen than the Kafirs. It was on this very point too that much of the opposition to their introduction was weak. The war was feared fewer than their vices; but it appears now that they possess neither virton nor vices to any very alarming extent. They are not the miners that it was thought they would be. They are lazy, sulky and impetuous, and need great protection to strike work or to strike the Europeans that work with them. As a matter of fact the Kafir—and he takes good care not to overwork himself because he is not working during a day than does the Chinman, a mine owner £17 to bring a Chinman to the Rand and £3 to bring a Kafir there. It coats much more to feed the Kafir than does the farmer to feed the laborers, because the farmer insists the luxuries that the Kafir has never heard of. And notwithstanding Tosot Shan's wait to *The Daily Chronicle* the Chinman are much better treated on the mines than does the Kafir, and latter it appears are the better miners. If any one can judge by the report of their "advisor," the Chinese are very discontented with their lot on the mines. The conditions under which they were to work were no doubt painted to their own agents in China. They are now disappointed. Mr. Tsetse's story is no doubt much exaggerated, but at the same time we do not think "Chow's" life on the mines is a particularly happy one. He is compounded for a term of three years, and he is not given the moment he is hated by the European miner and cordially detested by the Kafir. His importation has not been a success from any point of view: not from his own point of view, for he is discontented: not from the mine owners, whose properties have not been developed to the extent that certain items are the shareholders' point of view, whose shares will not bloom. No wonder in these circumstances, the whole British Empire, save the Magna natura, learning for the repatriate the liberalism of the Chinese, and do away with slavery within the Empire. The severe depression in South Africa, notwithstanding its fabulous wealth, has led down to the coming of the Chinese as wage earners, resulting in the transmission to the Celestial Empire of enormous sums of money in the shape of wages, and the increasing need to be circulating and blessing South Africa and the British Empire.

A white rape friend, who had outraged a Negro girl, was captured by a Negro mob at Mincerget, 10, and turned over to the police. Of attempting the crime, the band was burned alive while mob of Waro. The Negro believes that the law should punish the criminal. Regular Correspondence of the Ace, Ottawa, October 2.—Benevolent, amimilation" received a rather severe check in an Illinois college town a few days ago. It happened in this wise: It appears that some Filipino students, believing that "benvolent amimilation" means what the term implies, took advantage of it and entered one of our State colleges. Of course their presence was a matter of considerable curiosity and of not a little anxiety. Three innocent dark-skinned students regarded this absoffness of manner as one of the peculiarities of benvolence and heroically made up their minds to谴it it. Believing that all things would work out benvolently, they made themselves giving no offense and amimilating everything that seemed good to their heathen indian In pursuit of the every day things that belonged to student life, these brown strangers wandered into a barber shop for the innocent purpose of getting an American hair-cut. The artist, who resided in a white complexion, having matured himself haired, patrons was not of the Mississippi variety, waited upon them and treated them as he would any other American not of African descent. However, much to the surprise of these new neckers after our American benevolence, the students of the school engaged in learning what had occurred. The students diately notified every barber in the town that if such a thing happened again their shop would be boycotted. They regarded it as a shocking case of attempted "social equality". It mattered not that these students from the Orient were Malaya, not Nerissa, in the South, but objection that they had the color of the American Negro. If this thing were allowed to go unchallenged, the time might come when it would require an investigating committee of ethnologists to determine who was who in this growing preponderance of brown, black and yellow. "Benevolent imposition" is right in its place, only let its place be a long way off. Perhaps this little incident contains an interesting prophecy of the perplexities of the future. The color line is an easy thing to manage, when the man of color without ambition, without character, and without education. But when color demands a color degree and has ambitions, material provision is necessary, then color becomes a "problem." Nothing in this age is more interesting than to watch and study this rising tide of intelligence and self-assertion among the races whose color has hitherto made them strangers and aliens to the dominions of the races. There are hopeful signs that the battle of the "color line" is not to be fought, out by the Negro race alone. Hon. Edward Green, the only colored member of the State legislature, was tendered a generous reception by the citizenry of Chicago at Olivet church on Thursday evening, September 28. Mr. Green's conduct in the last session of the legislature was in every way honorable. This demonstration of confidence was worthy of occasion and the man and will serve Green a leading, man among the colored men of prominence in the State of Illinois. In legislature Mr. Green was on the right side of every question and he showed parliamentary ability of high order. Herv. J. L. Jordan of Louisville, Ky. Corresponding secretary of the Afro-American Council, was in the city a few days ago developing a public sentiment of a more aggressive policy for the Council. He has prepared and is now circulating thousands of leaflets for the purpose of an effort to take a more active interest in those cities. The Chicago Choral Study club under the directorship of M. P. T. Tinsley, has announced a very interesting program for its season's work. They plan to give three concerts, Mr. S. Colorido-Taylor, the eminent composer of England is to inspire of this season's efforts. The Tinsley concert is by Longfellow and is to music by Mr. Taylor will be conscientiously studied. The Chicago Choral Study club is, so far as I learn, the first organization of the kind in the city that is making an effort to cultivate a taste for all that is refined and elevating in musical culture. The society gradually grown into popular favor. The group of the association are: President, Mr. S. Ling Williams; director, Mr. Pedro Tinsley; Miss Mannie Fisher; and treasurer, Mr. W. Mr. Daniel Jackson of this city has just received an appointment as consular agent in Mexico. Mr. Jackson is a businessman with his father, Mr. Emanuel Jackson, in Mexico, and a business. He received a commercial education in the city of Pittsburgh, his former home. He has been an active participant in business and this appointment comes to him as well as good services to his party, as well as a recognition of the race he represents. It is evident that all the labor unions do not draw the color line. Mr. Walter Van Fenn of this city, a member of the Van Fenn Association, was a few-night-ago reelected by union, and was perusing secretary of his union. Mr. Van Fenn has held this office for several terms, giving general satisfaction, and is one of the most popular men in the union. I have been informed by union men that it is no unusual thing for colored men to be elected to reelect in the unions. It is probable that after the experiences of last summer, during the strike, the unions will begin to feel that the union is unsafe, so long as the Negro is treated as unit for such affiliation.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: Permit me to offer you my hearty congratulations on the advance you have made in journalism, as apparent in the recent legends of The Age, which is a very commendable and brilliant example set by the Afro-American press, and a notable vindication before the world at large of the capacity of the race just named to measure up to the requirements of twentieth century progress. JAMES TRENDON HOLL Portau Prince, Hayyti, September 20, 1905. Reflection on Our Soldiers. To the Editor of The New York Age: Quite a site was created among our people over an editorial south in The Washington Post of September 19, which read as follows: "The War Department has leased an order against the establishment of any more Ne- groves, and the establishment of another steer board putting the army on a peace basis." It is trouble with many of our people is not what The Post says, but how the Report came to the War Department that the colored companies all have their towns and demand more would be unnecessary. With the peace basis" mentioned by The Post, we realize that no reflection on the colo- red soldier was attempted, W. R. Brown. Washington, D. C.

W. Thompson in The Indianapolis Free man. Mr. Archibald H. Grimke, the valued correspondent of The New York Age, discovers the solitary New York race leadership, drawing a new line of distinction between the true leader and the false, and analyzes nicely the three groups which make these races Negro people. Of these three groups, Mr. Grimke We have the industrial education group, the higher education group, and the politic- group has selected for its own private use the reach the least welfare of the race. The three are devoted to one common cause—the aim to reach the same destination, by directing. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune, commenting favorably upon Mr. Grimke's article, pays his respects pretty sharply to the "race marplate," who have resisted all overtures for peace, even when allowed to dictate the terms, and who have repudiated pledges made in conference, and who have shown themselves bent only upon the advancement of their personal interests, as proved by their broken faith and scandalous criminality of conduct. Mr. Fortune is "for harmony, nevertheless, and expresses himself as willing to make another effort to get to either with the discordant elements and to devise some common ground upon which the safety of the race may be conserved. Contiding an able editorial," he says: We want union, not division; but we want it on a basis of principles, not of men. The group people have shown that they want the reverse of this. Are they ready for a union on the basis of principles? If so, they can get it. This is plain talk and narrows the issue to a point where an equally plain answer can be given. We have too much to say about men and too little about fundamental principles. After all, the ascendancy of this man or that is of a small consequence, except in so far as he stands for the military purposes of racial endeavor—sensible education, full citizenship and material acquisition. The emphasis for the future must be placed upon principles, and the men must conform to them, or be broken upon the wheel. There can be no effective union upon any other basis.

It is made up mainly of Irish, Scotch, English, German, Swedes and, last but not least, of Negroes. Of these races居 in competing with the others for this kind of work. And those among them succeed best in obtaining the best places who make the best servants. In this struggle for bread, for evidence, as in all other lines of humility, from the highest to the lowest, the fittest service, the best places to the most capable, whether Negro, Irish, Scotch, English, German, or Swede. It makes no difference, those who get have got to fight, and those who hold have got to fight also. Life is an eternal battle between the outs and the ins; between those who have and those who have not. And in this battle when those who are in go out and those who are out go in, they do so in the first case because they are stronger and in the second case because they are weaker and do inferior work to their trials. The world demands the best at the least cost of each of us, and if we mean to furnish to the world the supply needed by us, we can do it in our world's terms. If we offer good service the world will accept our offer and buy of us, and if we offer poor service it will reject our offer and buy what it cannot buy, but makes trial of it for us. If it be of the quality and quantity which the seller represents it to be of it all buy; otherwise not. And when it buys it always does not hurt the seller. If the labor bought by it will maintain not for one day, or for one week, or for one month, or for one year, its promised excellence, but for the entire period covered by its contract or purchase, it will maintain its contract terms whether in quality or quantity the world reserves the right to determine at any time the contract of purchase, and to buy of another who is better able or inclined to live up to the world's rights and duties of buyer and seller. The entire servant class of the colored race in the United States is engaged in this kind of struggle with other servant bodies in the process which has affected the status of their duties. Our class cannot succeed in either report it if fails in competition with these servant bodies to do good work to give satisfactory service. Full support must underlie the success of the ground at present occupied by it, and repulse for its positions within the field of its present aims and activities. What it loses will gain, and what it fails to gain will lose. In the fear of such a retreating servant class in the battle of life are labor rivalry and cruel and swift to strike, and to write the ground abandoned, the services and the arms left behind in the struggle of the present in the service bodies stronger and more aggressive than it. We have seen here in Boston just such a service as this on the part of the colorful servant class before the advance of the white servant class. There was a time when the servant class was much in evidence in this city. But they are not so to-day. A colored condemned footman is almost as rare a white soldier as day as a white blackbird. The white machinan and the white footman are not so to-day, which maintains carriages and lies within the limits of Greater Boston. The same struggle and reverse battle place in the case of the house servant though the loss of ground is heavy in this respect for the white machinan. The history of us exemplifies the loss suffered by the sad experience of the classes of servant bodies. The white waiter is with the colored waiter for the colored waiter, and the colored waiter in the competition. for employment, for bread, us as a race at those in the domestic and host- land. At one point our serv- ers had been doing so for years of white servant hold- ers, we are yielding to force well night will point of this field of con- titition falling back, losing this profession, this defeat, fully ex- American color prejudice as the sole culprit?

We must not hesitate to the one case or in the other, but not error, however well these openings are true. Our themselves, neither do we like plain truth about ourselves, but deliver the message in the however unwelcome, and to having it in the other case and to No. What is sauce for this respect will serve as the rate in the same respect. And some for the neat of both with welcome or unwelcome. In that there is a clever Woman. We will be talking about an article which the woman does not incoming of. Step by step as goes on the man makes plain to her. He clears the the obscure passages by which is simply masterful from the way he answers. You know the way I find every- thing you? It is "Inquire Within" of the best things to do. I had done that before. four the couch man's method, "Inquire Writing out what he does not find out one than the woman's. Writing and look out of the woman's deal may he learned doing the deeper and more vital life comes always from the Within." So then, let us say to find out why our man in Boston has lost ground be it. The colored coach and to discover in England. for a person to have with the other environment before the event. With the other person who is expected to come to the event, we do so on his and and had the reasons with each other. He leaves the event with up to methods and wildness in his world. He is, in fact, a having doctor of no means treatment and skills. He has freted about to do his work not in and line only but in an all-round way. And so the colored coachman was inferior to him in this respect, he had only to come and see and compare whatever he and his co- ered competitor engaged each other in the struggle for employment, for broad Now, we do not think that race or color in the beginning of this contest cut any toe either in favor of the white white coachman and greater knowledge of horses and greater skill in the care of them to offer to the owners; than the colored one was able to furnish. And for this reason mainly the white one pushed the white coachman into the field into himself. But the loss of place at the time is but one of the ill consequences which follows in the train of such a revenge. Such a defeat fails disastrously when the coachman is in due time there is apt to grow up in the mind of the employer class a belief, or opinion, that white men make better coachmen than colored ones. It is human nature that, whether hasty or not, operates powerfully against the losing side. And there is no help for the losing side under such untoward circumstances, except, by the good work of a rival, to oppose to this good its own better work. And this we are sure that the colored servant class has not done in Boston and other cities, where the servant classes of other races are competing with it for this kind of employment. With the decline of the colored coachman in Boston there followed the decline of the colored footman also for obvious reasons. Other servant bodies like the colored public waiter service body have been made to the city of Washington with the white public waiter service. And the colored public waiter service is not wholly free from responsibility for such a loss of ground. For where it evinced once on a time supreme excellence in the occupancy, it has been done only a few hours of hotel, and there the colored service is equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind in the city. Generally this service has been content with mediocrity and not infrequently with downight info-mediaries. In the other series, the whole is not much, if any, better than the colored waiter service. But the loss of prestige by the latter service has, in combination with the race or color question, tended to hurt the blocks and to help the whites in the more than a second and a third information on the part of the former to the latter class. For, all things being equal, the average Northern white man prefers to be served by waiters of his own race and color. Where, therefore, the rivalry between the two classes of writers is close, the white little classes is better chance of winning in such a coyest than has the colored waiter class. The colored waiter class at the present stage of the struggle has not to offer not merely an good service as is offered by its white commanding men but not to be a very large part of them. It has not therefore not only to form unions for the increase of its pay, but for the increase of its efficiency. And of the two aims the latter is just now vastly more important to its survival in such a battle for friend, for the most important to the other. Coming friends let us stop looking out of the window just long enough to inquire within. ARCHIBALD H. GRIMKE. BOOKS AND THEIR MAKERS. Another novel on the race question has found the light from the pen of Sutton E. Griggs, who first appealed to the public on this question in the spring of 1899, with his initial work, "Imperium in Imperio." The present work is entitled "The Hindered Hand," and is a strong appeal for equal citizenship before the law. It is a graphic review of the race situation in the South and confines many strong situations and vivid portrayals of existing conditions. It is a study of the stakes and other instances of the white South's civilization set forth in their true colors. There is a plot, somewhat attenuated at best, but setting forth the effort of a strong minded and ambitious woman to solve the problem of color on individual lines. The crimes and casualties occasioned by her efforts are duly set forth in the course of the story. Besides this, two strong male characters are presented, embodying the different propositions of force and moral sanction in the settlement of the question at issue. Which of this is apt to prove the successful lever, is left to the deduction of the reader, at the conclusion of the book. All in all, Mr. Griggs has accomplished a very credible work, which will undoubtedly contribute its due share towards the eventual solution of the everlasting question. The book is published by the Orton Publishing Company, Nashville, Teen. An innovation in the line of book making is a juvenile publication issued expressly for "colored children," entitled "Floyd's Flowers, or Duty Beautiful." The book consists of 100 short stories, illustrated by Prof. Siles X. Floyd, illustrated by John Henry Adams, Dr. Floyd is principal of a public school at Lafayette and is well known in the literary field by his contributions to leading writers. The illustrator, Dr. David required his art education at the Dr. David Institute Philadelphia, and is now a teacher at the Morris Brown College, Atlanta. The volume is attractively gotten up, with a cover in colors, and the simplicity of the language and attractiveness of the illustrations will doubtless make it a favorite among the young readers for whom it is intended. The book may be had at the retail price of $1.00 by addressing Messrs. Hertel, Jenkins & Co., No. 110 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago. "A Helping Hand" is the title of a pamphlet written by Aaron Samuel, on religious topics. The work seems to be marked by an earnestness that at least should command the respect of those who may read it. It is colloquial in style and some of the exhortations are in verse. Copies may be secured by applying to Rev. R. R. Mont, No. 200 West 63d street, New York city. The price is twenty-five cents. NDS OF "JIM CROW" LEGISLATORS. 1901 Senator Walker, at the urgent request of his wife, introduced a "Jim Crow" car bill. The bill was defeated, and Mrs. Walker died soon after the death of the bill. In 1903 Representatives Crism, of Jackson conty, and Williams, of Rails, introduced twiim "Jim Crow" bills, and both were defeated. Very soon, a tournament of the legalized Crism fell dead on the street, and Williams was killed by lightning. LOYALTY'S REWARD. From The White House We don't propose to enter into any discussion with our Republican friends about the silly "social equality" and "Nero domination" plank they want to place in the party plan. But the recent State convention does we do say that the party want a good deal out of its way to imitate the other local party attached to or other political party loyalty which brought upon this new affront. ASSISTING OF AMERICAN HIGHER AND BETWEEN ONE BOSTON BROADWAY ST. FROM THE NEW YORK BANK. Mr Harry Johnson has recently returned from his third visit to Liberia. He reports many evidences of progress since his secondjourn in that country, forty years ago. The paper he prepared for the Royal Geographical Society, published in The Geographical Journal, so August, contains many interesting facts that are not commonly known, and the definitions concerning the present condition and future of the Negro republic, coming from a student of Africa who is so experienced and astute as Sir Harry Johnson, are of special value. On the whole, he has a very favorable opinion of Liberia's prospects. He finds that the primeral forest which in 1885 grew down to the sea along the larger part of the coast has been cleared away in many places to make room for plantations and even settlements. More than half of the country, which is nearly as large as New York State, is covered with dense forests. About 3,500 square miles are occupied by the plantations, gardens, towns and settlements of the Americo-Liberian, and 2,000 to 3,000 square miles of the forest have been cleared by the indigenous natives. About a third of the entire territory is the grass and park lands of the far interior occupied by the cattle raising Mandingo tribes. Sir Harry is the first writer to express the confidence belief that out of the dense forest is to come the great wealth of Liberia. This opinion is largely the result of the most recent explorations. We have never before heard of Liberia as likely to become one of the best sources of rubber in the world's trade. Sir Harry says that the wealth of this forest in india rubber producing trees, vines and bushes is without parallel in any other part of Africa except in southern Africa. There are at least twenty-two species producing salable rubber, including the well known Landolphia, from which most of the Congo rubber is derived, and the magnificent Funtumia claetica, which grows to an enormous height and whose rubber is used in the manufacture of rubber. With the present practices in rubber collecting this great fruit should always be maintained at its full bearing capacity. The trade in Liberian rubber has as yet recently begun. Sir George Goldie, who introduced Para and Castillon rubber products in the late 19th century, became the greatest product of Liberia. Sir Harry says that the climate of Liberin is not so unhealthful for the white man as that of Sierra Leone, and mentions the curious fact that mosquitoes are few in number and are almost unknown in the forests. The subject has not yet been able scarcity of mosquitoes should coincide with a less marked prevalence of malarial fever than along the Ivory and Gold Coasts and Lagos, Mr. Alexander Whyte, who has just completed a special study of the flora of Liberin, in some of the most remote areas, of the absence of mosquitoes is very extraordinary. There are a few on the coast, but they are scarcely ever found eight or ten miles far the interior, even in the swamp that would be thought to be the ideal home of these pests. He inclines to the view that there must be some homestead that destroy the large of the mosquito. In Sir Harry Johnston's opinion the latter generations of Negroes of America can origin are taking hold of the work of developing the country with much more energy. Intelligence and manners. They were born in the country and stand the climate better than their fathers. He mentions another reason, of which we have heard very little, for their greater efficiency in pioneering and building new lands among them of intermarriage with the women of the fine, vigorous, native races, and he heartily commends it as a sensible idea. The Negroes from America have not, as a rule, been able to raise large numbers of children to 12,000 to 15,000 sons, while the native tribes are estimated at 20,000,000. Liberia will show in its development a Negro state with English as the governmental language, a coast belt inhabited by the indigenous people, wearing clothing of European cut, and a hinterland of Mohammedans dressed in the picturesque and suitable costume worn at the present day by the Mandingo cattle breeders, who probably number about 200,000. The population is a slight infusion of Caucasian blood from North African tribes, are very industrious, have a remarkable feeling for art, as is shown by their handwork, are genuinely though not fanatically devoted to the manufacture of clothing, tinned to a notable part in the development of the country. Sir Harry regards the spread of Mohammedanism in the western and northern parts of Liberia as of immense benefit to the country, and believes that active diminishing the traffic in alcohol and in checking drunkenness. In the last ten years there has been a marked advance in the good relations between the American settlers and their native subjects, as many of them, may fairly be called. Their chiefs and representatives at Monrovia from time to time for consultation with the Government, and there is now no subject of disagreement between them. Curiously enough one result of this mild rule of black black is that the white man is well received and in parts respected by the Government and is not associated in the minds of the natives with conquest or oppression. The explorer draws a favorable picture of the towns and plantations of the Liberians, all the settlements showing evidence of civilization and comfort. The houses, churches, offices and public buildings are substantial, well built and comely, but most of the streets are grass-grown and neglected. Monrovia has a system of telephone connecting it with the settlements on the St. Paul flats. The whole paper is a valuable contribution to recent information on Liberia. It is accompanied by an excellent map, showing the extent of the forest area, the areas occupied by the America-Filibertana, the distribution of native tribes and the rubber, collecting stations thus far established.

Williams, 16 West 134th Street NOTES OF THE TRACK AND THE RING Afro-American Jockeys Have Fallen on Evil Times—Some of Those Once Celebrated—Nelson Cannot Rightly Clinch Lightweight Championship Until He Defeats Gana—Bob Flint- simmons on Color Line in Prine- d fighting. White men are found now doing the work formerly performed by colored men, and in all cases are glad, indeed, to be thus employed. The best example of this fact is to be found on the race course. Years ago the Afro-American jockey was, the king of the pigskin; his services were eager sought, and his riding was done with high regard for the interest of his employer. Not in one case out of a hundred was he found tainted with the slightest suspicion of crooked work. He was well paid, and in this fact alone lies his downfall. The past three racing seasons, including all meets held throughout the country, show plainly the passing of the Afro-American jockey, and where years ago he reigned supreme he has now been supplanted by the white boy, there being to-day not more than a half-dressed jockeys of success to be found in the saddle. Among the colored jockeys of note to win in Ireland in the saddle was Old Abe, who one of the greatest race held at Saratoga called the Travers Stakes, in 1860. Following Old Abe came John Clay and Jim Clay. Clay was injured in a fall on the Kennett Association track while riding Warrington and after his recovery from these injuries he became a successful jockey in to-day a wealthy race dealer in Lexington. Jim Ross called the noted horse Wanderer in all his races. John Sample always had winning mounts, riding the noted horse Longfellow at Long Branch for the Monmouth Cup in 1871. Sample shortly after Gill riding on account of increasing weight and is now a member of the Cincinnati police department. The next year William Walker and Nathan Heywood spring into prominence as successful jockeys. The former piloted Ten Broeck in all of his record breaking races was for many years trainer for John I. Madison's racing stable and is at present a trainer of a public stable. Following these comes Isaac Murphy without doubt the greatest jockey, either black or white, the world ever saw. He gained international fame when he rode Fal setto to victory in the Travers Stakes at Saratoga in 1879, and for years to follow Murphy was the brightest star of the turf. He won the Suburban handicap on Salvator and the American Derby four times. During his career in the saddle Murphy won over 200 races. Next to Murphy, like Barnes in perhaps America's most noted jockey, he won the American Derby Knott, and in both 1888 and 1898 he headed the list of winning jockeys, having won 370 races in two seasons. Following the decline of Barnes come Willie Simms, of whom too much cannot be said, Simms has had a large share of success, and one reason why his string of victories does not equal those of Barnes and Murphy is that racing has died since their days. Andy Hamilton, Sport Perkins, Alonzo Clayton, George Witherls and Tommy Britton are also to be considered in classing the present-day riders. There were many other colored jockeys who have either retired or been ruled off the turf for connection in some scandal. There was John Stoval, who Milton Young says, was the best rider who ever had a mount on a two-year-old; Eddie Jerry Chorn, who was ruled off for his final calf match, and R. Williams and Isaac Lewif. Ren Oliver is to-day one of the most successful jockeys. During the past season he has ridden many winning mounts on the Canadian circuit. Oliver is very young in the business and being small in size and having perfect knowledge of horsemanship birds fair to make an enviable record. The panning of the colored jockey is due to the fact that jockeying is now not looked upon by the best people connected with the turt to be a calling heathen a white boy, and each year new faces in the saddle. On September 16 at Baltimore Joe Gans, lightweight champion of the world, was given a draw in a fifteen-round go with Mike-Bullivan of Boston. Gans would undoubtedly have won had he been in any kind of condition. This was Gans first appearance in the ring for months. He had also just recovered from a dislocated shoulder, which took all the time from his right arm. The fight was clean all the way through. Sullivan had a trifle (two pounds) the better of the weight. Gans weighed in at 3 oclock at least from 123 pounds, while Sullivan weighed considerably more. Gans' weight settles, beyond contradiction, the fact that he is lightweight champion and can, when he is called upon, make the weight and still be strong. For months lack there have been all sorts of claims coming from different fighters to the lightweight championship; several fighters making their claim that Gans could not make the weight and fight a winning battle. At Colma on September 0 Battling Nelson won from James Britt in 13 rounds and immediately laid claim to the lightweight championship. He has Gans yet to attend to before that title goes his way. Previous to this fight he was very willing to fight Gans, but now that Britt is on of the way. Naison sidesteps Gans, with the explanation that he is shady in color and shady in reputation. The whole thing in a nutshell is that Gans is a hard proposition, and no one knows the truth about this better than Nelson. It is customary when fighters have made a fairly good showing and are near the top of their profession to draw the color line. This affects any fighter's record. No thought of the color line ever enters a fitter's mind when he is making his way up the ladder, fighting for small purses and doing his training in his back yard, but just let him get a little newspaper advertising and a training camp and the sports a checkerboard suit of clothes and has much trouble in seeing a good colored man in the same ring with himself. Bob Fitzsimmon, in a recent article in *The New York Objek*, gave the white fight-in fraternity a rather rough far on the color line. Some of the good things Mr. Fitzsimmon says are: "I have always wanted to talk a little about the color line in pugilism, and this seems to be the most important of tommyroth has been printed in one way or another about this nutter, and I hardly think any of it has hit the swell, let's say another kind of it." "To begin with, we get to admit there is a color line, and as long as there is pugilism in this country there will be one, because there will always be colored fighters. You'll hear a lot of men tell you that a fight is not just about afflict a record. That's all foolishness, must, because for a man to be champion in any class he must meet all the men who championship away from him to get the championship away from him, those of those chaps are Negroes, those will always exist a doubt as long as he refuses to. "When a fighter is working along trying to get a whack at everything that stands between him and the top notch, you don't need to be to him to color line, and it only when he gets to color line step and fanning himself with a one-hundred-dollar banana, hat that he begins to anything funny looking about a black hide." "I guess it's just human nature. A fellow feels he can get finicky with his likes about his dislikes when he gets near the top, and perhaps it won't do to blame him over much for that. For he's worked pretty hard for his job and can afford to take a chance now and then. If there is an extra good colored man, line for the perch on the top bunch and the champion looks at him through a smoked telescope and says he's not meeting colored parties there's a whole lot of men who'll never be a nasty way and say: "It's all right, but it looks as if he's a little bit heavy of that proposition, and maybe he is." "I may draw the color line can affect man's record, because you see it is not covered that the colored man can't knock his daylight out, and while there is no saying that he can still there's always the chance that in the might." "Don't draw the color line, boys. While it may save your fine feelings that you have gathered up since you're reached the top, it's going to splash a bit of mud on the record you're got framed and hanging up in the old folks' parlor." On Wednesday, September 20, at Philadelphia, George Dixon, who for ten years held the featherweight championship, went down to defeat at the hands of Tommy Murphy. The passing of. George Dixon marks the end and ending of the great fighters the world has ever seen. Dixon fought hundreds of battles and was never knocked off his feet until defeated by Terry McGown in a battle for the championship.

Robert Fulton Cutting did it with his autocratic airs and graces. The Citizens' Union, the Heart Ownership League, the German-American League and the Republican party have agreed to disagree. They have been resolved into their component parts. It is well. It appears that the Republicans and Tammany Democrats only will have regular municipal tickets. Others will have only parts of tickets, with William Travers Jerome as the piece de raison. Very good. And this same William Travers Jerome thinks he bears a charmed political life. Perhaps he does. Time will show. Anyhow, without waiting for a party nomination for District Attorney, he is working up a little nomination of his own. And what a wrestle it will be between the Republicans and the Tammany Tiger? And who will head the Republican ticket? So far not a man that sizes up to Mayor George Brinton McClellan has been "mentioned." Perhaps he has been too modest to show himself to the public gaze. He may be patiently waiting for the psychic moment. Perhaps. We shall see, and he will see. The Race Designation. It is very generous of Mr. John Daniels to butt into the discussion of the proper term by which the descendants of Africa in the United States should be designated. We publish his views on the subject in another column of THE AGE to-day. Mr. Daniels starts his article with a major error by stating that Mr. Ball pleads "for the perpetration of the term 'Afro-American.'" Mr. Ball does nothing of the sort; he pleads, for the adoption of "American colored people," which is clean out of the question. Mr. Daniels likes the term Negro, which does not designate a race, but certain tribes of Africa, and was first used and is now used by most writers as a common noun descriptive of a class rather than of a race of Africans. And this common noun business is the thing that provokes us and makes us dislike the term Negro. And there is no Negro race. In Africa the tribes designated as Negroes are Africans, the same as other tribes. The people of Africa are Africans. When they become a part of the United States, for instance, they become Afro-Americans, just as do German-Americans, Irish Americans, and the like. If, for instance, Mr. Daniels should be in Alyssipha and call one of King Menek's troopers a Negro he would be smashed to a pulp. Why? Because Negro is a term applied to the lowest of Africans, the same as Guinea, Senegambian, etc. We know what we want in this race name business, and we are going to have it. "Negro" as a race term is doomed; "Afro-American" has the center of the stage. Secretary [Bonaparte Is Particeps Criminis] THE AGE, it is fair to confess, was astonished at the plank in the platform adopted by the Republicans of Maryland, declaring against "Negro domination" and "social equality"—astonished because Mr. Charles Jerome Bonaparte, a member of President Roosevelt's cabinet, presided over the convention that adopted the most sturious thing. We were anxious to know what part Mr. Bonaparte had in making and adopting the plank. So far as we have been able to fathom the matter, he appears to have had no part in it. But until Mr. Bonaparte explains how he allowed such a plank to be adopted without a protest from him, the country at large will always feel queerly towards him. The Baltimore Afro-American Ledger says about this matter: "Now, those of us who live in Maryland understand the meaning of this plank and the source from which it emanated. We are not saying too much when we assert that no intelligent Negro, outside of the Inattic asylum, acquainted with the civil character of Mr. Bonaparte, would believe our honored Secretary of the Navy capable of such smallness and meanness as indicated in the plank to which we have referred. We do not except Mr. Roosevelt when we say no man in the country believes more thoroughly in a square deal for all men than Charles J. Bonaparte. All of us who know Mr. Bonaparte have not the least doubt on what platform he stands. He is no finker, but a genuine manly man. He has no special love for Negroes or any other race, save the race of man. And, surely, after he has given all the years behind him in bold and aggressive work to have all men treated fairly and honestly on this ground of personal merit, it is too late in the day to expect him to descend to such littleness as characterized that particular plank in the Republican platform. There is no need to explain the Muddism contained in the "Jim, Crow" plank. The only new thing about the whole affair is, the Negro haters in the Republican party with supreme audacity incorporated in the platform the same sentiments that had all along characterised their deplorations with Negroes." We have all along regarded Mr. Bonaparte as being just such a man as The Lodge paints him; but in allowing the plank to be adopted without protect he necessarily endorsed it. Congressman Meld may have been responsible for the pillow before it was inflated; aside it was advised by the accompanying the Republican party of Maryland, including Mr. Charles Joseph Bengarte, Missouri responsible for it, and by each responsible the Republican party of Maryland placed itself outside of the National Republican party. And the copy letter written by Mr. Charles Joseph Bengarte bears our view of the matter. But he does not seem to think so. The President. Not Wanted by the White South. "The New York Sun, which is disposed to deal gently with the vulgar efforts of the white South to prescribe rules for the personal conduct of the remainder of mankind, including the editor of The Sun, properly rebukes the display of narrowness and vulgarity of the city council of Montgomery, Ala., for refusing, at its meeting last week, to appropriate the necessary money to entertain President Roosevelt when he visits that ancient capital of the defunct Confederate States government the last of October. The refusal to make the appropriation was made in the face of the fact that the council had some time ago extended an invitation to the President to visit Montgomery. The Sun thinks the city fathers of Montgomery were lacking in the habitual courtesy of Southern gentlemen. This is a generous view of the matter. The habitual courtesy of the white South is a newspaper myth, pure and simple. It vanished from the outfit of Southern white men in public affairs when Preston S. Brooks of South Carolina struck down Charles Summer of Massachusetts, at his sent in the Federal Senate, in 1856, in the effort to enforce Southern argument by vulgar brute force. And what other argument than vulgar brute force has the white South since used in public and private in seeking to impose its prejudices and worn out theories of civil and personal rule upon the thought and conduct of the people of the Republic? Let The New York Sun answer that. The truth of the matter remains as Tim. Ackel has previously stated its President Research, is not wanted in the South by the white South. It is useless to try to disguise the fact. And what is to be gained by seeking to do it? To soften the vulgar and upright thought and feeling of the white South? This cannot be done by works; it can only be done by absolute surrogate to the barbarous and undemocratic rules of civil and personal conditional prescribed by the white South. First made emphatic and infamous by the vulgar and cowardly assault of Preston Brooks since practiced by his successors, in war and in peace and in public and private conduct, and of which Senator Tillman of South Carolina and Governor Vardilman of Mississippi are horrible and so scuffle examples, but by no means the only ones, at the present moment. President Roosevelt is not wanted in the South by the white South. Ever since he has been President he has been misrepresented, cursed and blackmailed by the white editors, preachers and alleged statesmen of the South, from Clark Howell, of The Atlanta Constitution to Congressman Hildin of Tuskegee, from The New Orleans Times-Democrat to Jeff Davis of Arkansas. He will have a hearty, loyal and affectionate reception at the Tuskegee Institute, but nowhere else in the South indicated on the program of his itinerary. It is a shame and disgrace that it should be so; but so it is. Why not acknowledge it to be so? The white South has not been reconstructed at all; it is still viciously antibellum in thought and speech and act in its ideas of civil tyranny as a make-shift for a republican form of government. The New York Sun knows this to be true, but will not acknowledge it. Why? And the white South is only half-civilized. In personal conduct it is cruel, vulgar, insolent, and boorishly provincial; in civil conduct it is savage, cruel and viciously medieval. It needs education, and lots of it. We say it again: The white South does not want President Roosevelt in the South; and no good will come of his proposed visit, we believe. Educated Knockers and Windjammer the Curse of the Race. The editorial policy of THE AGE is to take a hopeful view of the future. We do not often emphasize the gloomy and despondent side of Afro-American life. There is, however, one aspect of our present condition which is plitable and regrettable. We refer to the attitude of a number of our so-called educated men towards the progress of the race. A large element of our men who have had the very best opportunities for education are of the best service to the masses of the race. This seems to be especially true of many of those who have been educated in the New England colleges and universities. A very large percentage of those men who have been educated in white institutions—in most cases educated out of the charitable gifts of white people—are not only of no service to the race, but are a positive hindrance. They constitute the association of Knockers and Windjammers. Their policy is to stand off and find fault. They know little about the real condition of the people, because they seem afraid to touch the masses except through long distance advice, loud complaints and brave fault-finding. These men do not lead in building up religious, moral, educational or business enterprises, but after such enterprises have been put on foot by somebody else, in most cases by men with little book education, they spend their time in criticising and tearing down such. The same is true of educational and philanthropic enterprises. These Knockers and Windjammers claim to stand for the political rights of the race, but if an Afro-American is successful in getting appointed to an office which represents the highest form of voting they at once begin to find fault. The Brownsman and Wheelerism are more open in large religion, educational, political, or business; gatherings, where the masses of the Afro-American people are to be found. If they are present, instead of entering heartily into sympathy with the work of the organization, they stand off at arm's length, with a view to finding and exploiting all of the weak points possible. Apparently they do not think that they might better serve themselves and the race by entering into active and sympathetic touch with the work of organization, and thus assist in strengthening the weak points from the inside instead of from the outside. The Afro-American people have suffered and are suffering grievous disappointment in their just expectation, of good and honorable service by the men upon whose education vast sums have been spent in New England and other Northern colleges. It is an open secret that since the riots conduct of some of these educated Knockers and Wind-jammers in Boston some years ago, numbers of men who have heretofore given generously for the education of the Afro-American people in these colleges and universities now refuse to aid in such education. The Afro-American people have too many educated Knockers and Wind-jammers for their good and for the good of the country. --- Leagued With Dardaman to Destroy Suffrage Rights. Governor James K. Vardugan, of Mississippi, has recently announced himself as a candidate to be a Senator in the Congress. The plank upon which he proposes to make his canvass is very direct and simple. It is bally a plan for Mississippi to comply with the United States Constitution and reduce its representation in the lower house of Congress and thereby secure the right to disfranchise all Afro-Americans regardless of qualifications. Of course, Mississippi could do this, and any other State for that matter, and still retain the power that it possesses in the United States Senate, and a law could be passed by the State preventing any Afro-American from voting no matter how much intelligence or property he might possess. This, in short, is the logical result of advertising cutting down Southern representation. It will, therefore, be seen that those Afro-Americans who advocate cutting down Southern representation are in thorough accord with Vardugan and his kind. There was a public meeting in Boston recently for the purpose of urging along the feeble sentiment for the reduction of Southern representation in Congress, Mr. A. B. Humphries of New York, made a speech in which he claimed to be the author of the reduction plank in the Republican platform. He said that there were a full hundred Negroes from the South at the Chicago convention who favored his reduction proposition. We do not doubt it. But the fact counts for nothing. It is an easy matter to find a hundred Afro-Americans in Boston, or the South, who would agree to any proposition affecting the vitality of their political rights, simply because they do not know what the vitality of their political rights is. When Congress votes to justify, the right of a State to disfranchise a part of its citizenship, with only the loss of proportionate representation in Congress, we shall be in a fearful pickle. And Mr. A. B. Humphreys of New York is not a Negro! Don't be ashamed to save the pennies. The dollars will take care of themselves. Don't get discouraged. The longest lane turns up at the end. Robert Fulton Cutting and the Citizen's Union of this town will have to flock by themselves in the approaching municipal campaign. So glad! The dear little Filipinos insist that Luke E. Wright of Tennessee is not a proper person to rule over them. The Agr. made that point when he was appointed, and it makes the point now that he should be bounced. --- Is Ethiopia getting ready to stretch forth her hand? It looks that way. Fan-African sentiment has spread enormously of late so that the Europeans in Africa—the British, the French and the Germans—are having heaps of trouble to "keep the natives in their place." Let the natives hump themselves. There are plenty of them, and there is room enough on the big continent of Africa for any old hump they may have a mind to put up. Schator Arthur P. Gorman, who has been a nuisance and disturbing factor in public life for thirty years, says he will retire to private life if Maryland allows the Post-discriminating amendment, and that if it does not he will continue in public life. Senator Gorman offers a high price for his public enclosure. But he has overlooked another alternative: The people of Maryland may not, only vote down the Poem amendment but vote the Senator, out of public life. We rather think they will do the latter. It is difficult to pick out a State that has two more dangerona Senators in Congress than Maryland has in Arthur P. Gorman and Isadar Rayner. Thomas Dixon, Jr., contributes an article to Collier's, headed "The Debt of Law to the Lawless," in which he seeks to justify the past and present lawlessness of Southern white men. The article is more scandalous and abusive in tone than other cultural contributions. Dixon has made to the discussion of the race problem. He has no respect for facts and the feelings of others, which is a peculiarity of blackguards. Why The Saturday Evening Post and Collier's, both high-class newspapers, should encourage such an intellectual blackguard as Thomas Dixon, Jr., and why The Saturday Evening Post should refuse to permit competent Afro-Americans to reply to him, are questions which public opinion should chapel their editors to answer. ATLANTA, CA, October 2—The provisional clavinary of the section has received an awful hard jolt within the last few days and the incident has furnished food for serious reflection, all on account of a happening at a political meeting in South Carolina. It will be a long, long time before that Cosinowreath will recover from the solar plexus blow given to tradition that has always been considered unfavorable. It is a rebound to the H.O. Benjamin Tillman, Senior and cradable live-eater, has been publicly denounced as a liar from the platform at a meeting at which he was present. What must have made it harder for him to hear was the fact that the end of the clear-to-clear culminator and his-hired the Senator when he attempted to repay. Years ago, and not many years after, such a thing as calling a man a liar to his face in South Carolina meant the death of one of the parties in a few days after the defanatory words were sp�ed and the social紧要地 and the kind of pistols could be agreed on, but not so in this instance. Up to date no mention of a resort to the code due to his own made, and all is quiet in fair old Edgefield and along the placid Saluda. Not as single challenge has been sent and none is in prospect. The incident was served on the other much speculation; however, and many see in it a warning of the influence the Senator has held on the people of his State. To have the lie thrust into his very teeth and to hear his fellow gittens applied the castigation, almost to the very close, would indicate that they will be in the case of loss of a small life. How that Mr. The Senator explains to his colleagues and how to Chautauqua audiences next summer this applause of the men of his own State when they hear him dubbed a common fulifier? Is it possible that he is about to be repudiated in the land of his birth? Is it possible that he is in the place where long has been that he carried his State in his vest pocket and was its only authorized spokesman; who put black Republicans out of bushshe and intimidated white ones as he has claimed to be now cast aside? Is this the row of his past great devotion to the country? He has been doing the same thing; and it all is that these two white men, the denoucer and the denounced, should allow a time honored and faithful tradition of their State to fall into disrepute by reason of their selection, discrimination to meet on the field of home and degrade it all with the power to make it so. It is not to make strong men ways. Surely, we have fallen upon wonderful times. And then from Tennessee comes another startling story. One night last week James Rives City, white, a prominent citizen of Rives City, which was named for some of his ancestors, shot and killed by an officer at the midnight hour Murrell heard an unsettling call in his hen coop. Caution screaming out of his window he deserves the form of a man in the act of stealing in his best Plymouth Rock puller. It was more than he could stand and alight, and he had shot the world he deposer of his hen-house. By the light of a pinhole he discovered to his horror that the victim of his muckster was a white man and he was speechless when he recognized the face of James Rives. He lost no time in notifying his neighbor, who offered to be locked up. But it was not to be thus and he escaped incarceration, for it was generally agreed that he had a right to protect his premises even to the extent of killing a hitherto respected citizen. The community seemed to recognize the fact that it was not the right to be locked up under the circumstances ended about as it might have been expected—which of course was the correct view. But it marks a remarkable reversion in sentiment because it has long been the custom to invoke the law of retaliation in the homicide in the homicide. When an Afro-American has killed a man of the white race, whether by malice prepeace or under circumstances of justification, the rule has been to make the slayer answer for his act by a forfeit of his own life. The citizens of Rives City have shown to him that this circumstance by him only not lynching this Afro-American but by refusing to prosecute him when the circumstances showed that he was clearly justifiable. It is a refreshing incident and coming so closely on the heels of the arrest seven or eight years after the murder of a man in Carolina, for lynching an Afro-American, it seems to point to an awakening of conscience. we are more at the new frontier. From time to time the people of this community have noticed with deep interest what Rev. Bryan Gunner is saying in regard to the rights of the Afro-American race in the South. We who live in this part of Louisiana know Mr. Gunner very well. He formerly lived in this community and had charge of a school. When Mr. Gunner lived here he talked a great deal but we found that when the time came to back up his talk by action his courage failed him. It is very interesting to see how much advice he is giving to the Southern Afro-Americans just now about standing up and fighting the white man. Elder Gunner had a chance here in the South to stand up and fight. In other words, to do just what he is advising the colored people to do, but when the time came for action he failed miserably. In fact, there is a ridiculous side to Rev. Gunner's leaving New Iberia and the State of Louisiana. When Elder Gunner was here in charge of a school he did a good deal of talking, so much so that a certain little eloque of white people became offended and determined to give him a little scar. We all thought that Mr. Gunner would show his courage and stand up and die, if necessary, for the trust, but he heard that the white people were coming to his house on a certain night. When the gang of whites knocked at his door, the Rev. Gunner knotted down at a table and pretended to be engaged in prayer, so that when the door was opened he was praying so loud that he could, he heard for a distance. The gang of white people talked to him pretty straight and gave him some advice. The result was that within a few hours Rev. Gunner left New Iberia, and the report in this community is to the effect that he did not stop running until he reached New England, where he is now engaged in telling the poor colored people in the South how to stand up and fight for their rights. Mary Afro-Americans in this part of Louisiana are making considerable money this year. They are getting good prices for their cotton and are determined to save money and buy land more so in the future than in the past. There is much interest also in building new school houses and in seeing that we have good churches and longer school terms. While there is much very often in the air to discourage us, we are determined to go forward a little each year. SILAS JONES-New Iberia, LA., September 28, 1995. AFRO-AMERICAN OR NEGRO? Should We, Though Composite is Blood and Waste, Be Used in the Treatment Of Tumors Inside the New York Avenue? The appearance in Taur Ack of September 21 of a letter from Mr. R. H. Ball of Lawrence, Moss, plumbing for the perpetuation of the term "Mro-American" offers an opportunity occasion for me to seek intelligence to say my say on this current question. Will you bear with me for a while? Taking Mr. Ball's letter as point of departure, I wish to submit to examination some of the assertions made therein. "Negro is a mean slang" says Mr. Ball. S42 Dictionaries are not supposed to contain slang words, but in every dictionary I find this slang an ethical designation of a certain portion of mankind. To quote from the Century dictionary: "The Negro race is generally regarded as a compound of Caucasian, and the region southward to the vicinity of the Equator and the great lakes and their descendants in America and the rest of the world, a scientific racial appellation, analoging to "Caucasian" or "Mongolian," similar purposeful appellations applied to other portions of mankind having a different racial origin. So we see "Negro" is a same that has been adopted, mainly and cozy, centuries since, not to agmatize, but merely to describe a part of the human race. There is neither reproach nor commendation expressed in it—simply description. Then why to cast off this name? As logical for the white man to reject the racial appellation "Caucasian," or the yellow man "Mongolian." But negro is known to all people as an insult," asserts Mr. Ball. True, it is that a portion of the vast Negro race was long ago transplanted into, and has so far for the most part remained in, certain lowly social conditions. So here is the United States—the case is otherwise in other local cities—where the word "Negro" is said, these same lowly conditions are usually suggested. But—is it not so, friends?—the reproach is in the conditions, not in the name. Was not "Christian" for long a despised name? Did not the pagan Romans for long under the name with a sheer, and did also persevere those who bore it? But then the Christians gradually attained to recognition, and rank and power—and then, and now, how different? Is not your case the same. Nestle of America? Are not you, as a people, still in lowly estate, though emerging there from the world of your family that is in deep and your name, which renders you in despite with your more fortunately situated white brothers? You so hate your present light, that you shrink from that which has been suggested from the name. But look forward to the time when the people you shall be educated and wealthy and powerful—and then will your name "Negro" be so distantful to you? Quite other life, and you, with pride, pointing to your history of social compliance. To me, Afro-American, not "Negro" is the term carrying reproach. For it seems a runaway, a flag of surrender, a good, a cardboard, is saying: "This reminder of life is more than we can bear. Let us claim our name and be no longer reminded." Better says: "Let us become such that this name of ours will be so much respect." And then again, though you'll see you're great, the greats of life will remain, which, unless they be changed, will brand your new name with no much of knownity as the old one, and you shall have to change their name and will you accumulate so long a list of all those you can read name will be a matter much in doubt. And moreover, this new name you are adding to your name is "Afro-American." "Take term applause, neither to a race nor to a nation. The race to which you are nominally unavailably in the Negro, your name is the Negro. Why accept only half of each? Why not conceive, radically, Negroes, without civilization? Negroes, Amricanes, full-powered, complete, summa Negroes, as some day you shall be. But this half- denial of your race and half-ellaming of your Nationality—"Afro-American" "Jon-Davis South End House, Boston, September 23, 1905. Race Journalism's Example. Editor T. Thomas Fortune has wrought great changes in The New York Aon.

The matter covers the range of race questions, and the news of general race interest. The editorial page was never stronger, fairer, or cheerer, and its freedom from personal abuse is an example of race journalism.

It is settled that Lieutenant-Governor Guild will meet for it he did for the other candidates it has developed into a scramble; and the uncertainty of it all is best illustrated by the announcement that the Republican convention will probably hold a two day's session. In the meantime, meetings are being held by the Peace Disturbers, who are amassing a plank to be inserted in the Republican platform. This should be attended to a month ago when the Republican-platform committee was appointed, but that would not have made it enough. Mr. Henry A.

The number of colored men voting at the primaries last week but emphasizes the necessity for strenuous work at the registration booths. If Cambridge is to hold the name of being the only town in New England where they hold the butler, they will have themselves to blame if after virtually winning elections, they revert to the old order of things.

His topic was "Taxes" and was a well thought-out paper on a very-dry subject, but one of absorbing interest, as treated, in all of its different phases; as there was a large number of property holders present the debate.

HOW TO REDUCE COTTON ACREAGE From: The Star of Zion. Down in Texas they have decided to re- duce the gregage and over production of cotton by burning Negrow. The method, while it bears the marks of savagery and has the smell of hell, is with that in place, a very practical method in which Negrow will just burn a few more Negrows, farmers of Texas, and you will run the rest to more conglomerate grown their absence and the presence of the new cotton crop will be short enough. Ruben in Congo Free State Whose People Are Quite Civilized—His Friends居居 to the Whites-Fred. Sharr Down to Vault Him—White and Black Monkey Ancestors. From The New York Sun. One of the native kings of the Congo Free State will soon have the honor of entertaining Prof. Frederick Starr, professor of anthropology in the University of Chicago. The king's name is Ndombe, and as yet he is hot awarde of the pleasure awaiting him, for Prof. Starr is going unannounced. There is no doubt, however, that he will be kindly received, for Ndombe has been good to all the white men he has met. He is on the best of terms with them, and is a useful ally of the Congo Free State. Ndombe lives near the head of navigation on the Kama, the largest southern tributary of the Congo. His chief town is in the central part of the State, about 1,100 miles from the mouth of the Congo. It is not hard to reach, however, and Ndombe's distinguished guest will go all the way by rail and steamer to Luebo, and will then have only a week of tramping overland. If Prof. Starr is not a good ride, he will go a good work fastened to a long pole and borne by carriera. He would probably enjoy the novel experience. Chicago University has given the professor more than a year's leave of absence, and his purpose is to spend a year with Nodombe studying the various interesting tribes in the kings domain. He will carry on, in the depths of Africa, field work in ethnology and anthropology similar to the investigations he has made among the Indians of Mexico and his own country. The Chicago paper, describing his new enterprise, have made some curious statements. They say he is going to plunge the United States central Africa to study savage tribes in Africa, but does not reach and of which very little is it. It is not exactly accurate to speak of one of the fairest regions of the Congo, savannas as a jungle. It is a land of widespread prairie as well as forest, with a mineral wealth in vegetable and mineral products for the African, a salubrious climate. White, enthusiastic over the region, and Mr. Verner, who has lived there as a missionary, says the whole region offers a splendid opportunity to enterprise. He sums up says the "invite" of white man to utilize them and to make a home of comfort and plenty. We know now a great deal more about the human race than we did before the scientific study of the lower civilizations had made large progress. Why should we apply the word "savage" to the peoples whom Ndombe rules? Agriculture is central among them, and every free man must some hunting. The Government, based on the principle which are the common law of the land, protects the people in their lives and property. Justice is regularly administered, and native lawyers present both sides of every case that is brought before the court at Ndombe's capital. The industries and professions include blacksmiths, doctors, merchants, cloth weavers, makers, wood workers, besides officials, tax collectors, sheriff and soldiers. The people have a type of civilization and it does their credit. In 1800 Ndoume sent a long message to King Leopold and President McKinley, in which he requested them to send to his country "men who have good hearts to help the black people, to teach them to keep the peace to to be their friends. To such men our hearts are open and behold the land is theirs." Then he asked that no evil men be sent to kill and plunder and burn; that the collection of tribute amount and wage military force, and that the Congo State should give his chiefs to rule the country. "We want," Ndoume continued, "the wisdom of the white man, so that we max learn to rule justly and well." White men who have written about this ruler are in the habit of calling him "a noble man," "a gentleman," and "a man of us word." We have never seen the word savage applied to him. He comes of a long line of native rulers and priests himself being a special friend and ally of the whites. The full extent of his sovereignty has not been exactly defined, but it is believed to preclude over a territory about the size of New Jersey, with a population of at least 100,000 persons. The country is divided into districts, each under a chief. A people under his rule are tribes of various degrees of development, including a considerable number of the Batava, or dwarfs. It was from the pagans living near Nobile that a few individuals were selected and brought over here to the St. Louis exposition. Mr. Verger had a long acquaintance with those little roon, and their relations ripened into complete mutual confidence. One day, having in mind the Darwinian theory of evolution, he told them that some of the old man in his country was a monkey, and he told them from the ape of the forest. He thought this would amuse them, but the statement was met with a storm of indignant protest and much heated discussion. A few days later a venerable grandfather among the pygmies turned the tables on him at fine time. He brought to Mr. Verger as whose peculiarity was its perfectly white face and hair. Turning to the missionary he said: "Ah, I see that both you and the Soko are very white. If we black Bantu come from the black monkeys in the forest, who then comes from that Soko there?" Prof. Starr has selected a most promising field for the study of such types of civilization as have developed in this part of tropical Africa. We hope he may return home with results that will amply repay his sojourn in the land of Ndobamba. GORMAN'S FAILURE AS DOSS. Has Changed Maryland From Democratic to Doubtable State. From The New York Times. It is a curious illustration of the tenure by which Senator Gorman holds his hostage in Maryland that he offers his party his retirement from politics as a bait to induce it to support his amendment disfranchising the Negros of the State. As a matter of fact, nothing in our politics is more curious than his retention of this hostage, after his incumbency of the same has more than once converted a State, which, when he came to be less, was an trustworthily Democratic as Kentucky or Texas, into the Republican or the doubtful list. There is no merit in his proposed amendment. The Negro question does not exist in Maryland in such a shape as to justify excuse, or palliate any such excuse. The person in Maryland to the total population is less than one-fifth. To say that the white four-fifths must take special measures to prevent the colored Fifth from exasperating the rights conferred upon it by consideration of what may be called the State and the Union is on the face of it absurd. Whatever excuses we may adopt for such measures in the case of South Carolina and Mississippi, with more than half their population colored, or even foreign, with such a color, held at all with reference to Maryland, Mr. Gorman's mancourse is nothing but the appeal of a demagogue to race prejudice. MR. FORTUNES REVENUE TO MACK His First Service August Man of Charges Preferred by His Sidneyson. R. W. Thompson in The Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. The "bired man" of The Bee, not content with opposing harmony with the Council and other movements of a similar nature, goes far out of his way to make a wanton personal attack upon T. Thomas Fortune, which for bitterness and gross vilification has scarcely a parallel in modern journalism. However, the assault will fall short of its mark, for there isn't a man, woman or child between the oceans that does not revere the veteran editor of THE NEW YORK ACE for his sterling manhood and intense race loyalty which have withstood the severest tests in the past twenty-five years of incessant labor. It ill-behoves a brother editor, as familiar with this record as Mr. Chase undoubtedly is, to cast aspersions upon Mr. Fortune's long and brilliant career as a race champion. It is uncharitable in the last degree to berate him for the very last thing; he would think of doing. Not even a stranger would have the hardship of knowing that he would be obliged to bribe-taking to betray his brethren or that his leadership was vacillating or that he was lacking in moral courage. No one could buy Tom Fortune's manhood—no one would be foolish enough to attempt such an impossible task. His entire public career is an open book, and he has been a pioneer in all that tended toward Negro advancement. It is acknowledged throughout New York that he has done more than any other one man in the history of black man's rights in the schools, in politics and in the enjoyment of public accommodations. If Mr. Fortune has entered into various political alliances, he has invariably carried his love for his people with him. At the risk of popularity and prestige, he was brave enough to test the efficacy of a division of the Negro vote among the parties in an honest endeavor to break the force of the southern challenge that a solid Negro vote for the Republican party meant a solid Democratic party against the civil and political rights of the Negro. If the Democratic party failed to "make good" and do its part in exchange for the black man's liberty, the fault lay in the Negro vote. Mr. Fortune, but he helped upon the messy backs of the short-sighted bourgeois who wouldn't "put up" and thus were shamed into "shutting up." He tried an experiment in person that many other leading Republicans wanted to see tested, but did not have the nerve to boldly weigh their futures in the balance. As to Mr. Fortune's resignation of the Council's presidency, cowardice could not be assigned as the reason. The New Yorker has never been a strong man physically, and two years ago the condition of his health rendered it absolutely impossible for him to continue to carry the burden of the Council's leadership and at the same time attend to his private business, from which he derived support for himself and family. Something had to be relinquished. After a strenuous conflict for the race, which would have cost a less resourceful man his life, Mr. Fortune's valor needs no defense. I have known him to keep out of bed by sheer will force, when his health was frail almost to the breaking point, to fill engagements to speak for his people, and to too, without a penny's worth, to walk down the hills downs of race leadership; and more than once has been made to feel stings of gratitude that were so disheartening that it is no wonder that at times he was moved to "give up he ghost." He was the father of the National protective league idea, and for fifteen years, in the face of a criminal indifference upon the part of the race he was trying to benefit, he fought in the trenches with his breast bared to the scarred foe, shouldering with his sword, only to be denied due credit at reward time by some lend-mouthed pretender or skulking demagogue. Mr. Fortune's valued services to the Afro-American people far from being the subject of harsh criticism merit the highest need of praise. He cannot be swerved from his strict duty of duty by the blunders of the onvious or sucers of the scornful, but a grateful people that will throw a bonnet his way while he is in the shirt will have fewer regrets for the sin of omission when Providence in the faith of time shall have called him to his last account. Unprovoked alms only has the effect of rallying Mr. Fortune's friends more stamatically around him. THE GOSSIP FORCED TO APOLOGIZE Repents Those Verses Insulting Miss Roosevelt and the Filipinos. From The Philippine Gospels. The editor of The Gospels wish to express his regret to his many Filipino readers that the verses in a recent issue of the paper were construed into a deliberate attack by The Gospels upon the Filipino race. As most of our old readers are aware, it is the allowed policy of Th) Gospels never to reflect in any way sign the natives of the Philippines in their own way, to be much misrepresented in some newspapers and in certain quarters. The times in question were not written by any member of the staff nor was it supposed they were to be the source of any anse of expression of cultural opinion. As The Manita Rutilin sensibly states, there happens times in every newspaper office when there occur in lines which ought to be written in the present instance a cartoon had been ordered in those, when the verses were brought unexpectedly to the editor of The Gossip. Being on a very timely table, they room without a very careful reading, much as the author is an experienced writer and government official who had written considerably for publication. The native papers had come upon with such denunciations of the verses that they were given a careful reading by the editor. Had they been carefully read when handed him they would never seen the light in the columns of The Gossip. As Gladstone truly says, It is the fool who never makes mistakes. When a just man makes a mistake he is ready to acknowledge it and tender due apologies. This the editor does, and the wish to remedy any injury of his esteemed readers may have sustained. NEWSPAPER GOVERNMENT. From The Cleveland Gazette. Two Afro-American lawyers were emmoved to carry the "Jim Crow" car) matter to the Supreme Court. At once The Memphis Commercial Appeal adopted a method of intimidation and dared the lawyers to offer the matter to the court; dared them with the error that Negroes now were not allowed to carry a car, more than what has already been met out to them. The treatment in the cities of Tennessee is exasperating and our citizens in Knoxville and Memphis are "mum" for the present so far as it concerns the law. A few wealthy men of Memphis are automobiles as a general transfer of travelers. The same is that such a state of affairs exists. SIGNS OF PROGRESS. From The Sunday School Monitor Commissioner Watson of South Carolina has of late given out some figures which should be very encouraging to four people, and which forever remain as false the saying, "The Negro is indebted, worthless and nearly nineteen thousand farm owners in South Carolina, and nearly eighteen thousand in North Carolina, and that fifty-five are operated by Negroes working on their own account." We have just issued $10,000 worth of gold bond certificates, secured by $50,000 worth of securities. They are bonds from $10,000 and upwards, will mature in five.

The years of the Bunknell-Waver campaign, the Crowd-Ledering campaign, and the I/O Group Wright campaign were secondary in this respect, and even the years when the Committee of 100 was in the full flush of activity were not marked by a greater degree of popular interest. In nearly all parts of the city men who seldom have done more in politics than to vote, and who often did not take the trouble to do that, are watching eagerly every phase of the political situation, spouting political day and night to their neighbors, and getting ready to take a hand in the campaign. The indifference which has existed in the campaigns that have preceded the past elections, municipal and general, has almost completely disappeared, and the indications are that the 39,500 Afro-American votes are alive to the situation, ready to fight for what he has been kept out of for years," the eliminating of the 39,000 phantom votes from the registry lists gives him almost the balance of power. Mr. W. P. Stewart, the popular society man of Philadelphia, has returned once more to his usual honeys after spending several weeks in different portions of the country, feeling well and delightfully happy because he carries a picture in his watch case: In Stewart's watch it touch a place Where off his eye make meet it: A picture of his face With tender smile he gives it. A novel lesson may be found: Now don't anticipate me: Of course you could it on the bound. You scarcely can await me: You think whener I seek the hours. Mine eye this picture meeting. I'm mindful mails are falling flowers. And youth and beauty fleeting: Oh! not a bit of it! I read, Mine eye this picture meeting. Make haste your wooing with more speed... Some other chap might get her. Miss Helen Stevens, who enjoyed great popularity at Atlantic City, is now visiting New York city. Miss Thomas of Baltimore, has returned home.

BROOKLYN, N.Y.—The governor of New York has ordered the admission of Albany, N.Y., to the University of Albany, Albany, Ga., a large public college of whose citizens are of Cherry Hill on September 11 to register, therein have been a promotion to the principal campus of the production of old and national rights of the African Americans in New York and the State of New Jersey. Among the resolutions which were incorporated in the constitution are: "Whereas, the time has come when the colored citizens of Dexter county and New Jersey should receive recognition in proportion to their numerical and political strength, and "Whereas, the doors of firebrikes, department stores and positions under the city and county governments are more or less closed to competent members of the race, therefore, "He it resolved, that such advantages should be opened up an open door, and that a square should be vouchefaced us in con companion with other races. "To that end the committee will put forth every effort to create a better condition among of affairs than has hitherto existed among the colored citizens here. That serious and menacing conditions are being manifested in several localities, detrimental to the social, political, and industrial life of the race in New Jersey is the result of indifference. The result is unity and inter-mentalism. The result is in that the tenement districts for colored people are being localized in unanticipated quarters and also, the honest and faithful domestic servants are being gradually eliminated. The committee, which is composed of 100 men, grouping will be divided to each group being held responsible for a special line of duty in the performance of the committee's objects.

The mind has been taken out of the skills of the so-called Social Settlement movement, which has been extensively started for "Negroes" in the county of Essex. Behind the curtain, it is being discovered that some of the promoters among the white friends have their-political eyes set on future offices, which the colored voters will be expected to stan-den for future years. A study shows that muspies of some of the principals of the settlement plan has already had an offer to make a white friend the president and legal advisor of a Negro building and loan association.
