Began Political Life by Resigning Place to Afro-American Removing 11th Avenue Tracks Makes Room for Playground for San Juan Hill Children Alderman John J. Hahn, the candidate on the regular organist of Republics of the United States for District of Columbia, that district, signaled his entrance into Republican political life many years ago by his extraordinary act of disinterested Prisonism for Afro-Americans. Almost at the beginning of his political Mr. Hahn was nominated as a member of the Republican county committee—an honor which ninety-nine young men out of a hundred would value too highly to relish them to their own fathers. It occurred to the leader of the district, the old 19th, from which Mr. Hahn was nominated, that the Afro-Americans of the district had no representation on the county committees. Mr. Hahn immediately appointed himself to the position he placed his name on the ticket to Mr. Henry Cunningham, an Afro-American, Mr. Cunningham was elected, and was the first Afro-American to be elected to the county committee from the 19th Assembly District. Up to this time no Afro-American had represented the 19th in any capacity. Mr. Hahn's youthful service in this regard should never be forgotten by race-loving Afro-Americans. The election of Mr. Cunningham through the sacrifice of Mr. Hahn was indeed the entering wedge of the large representation which the old 19th enjoyed in the county committee. This district had seven Afro-American representatives on the county committee—the largest Afro-American representation of any district in New York city and numbering over half of that of all the city combined. Since then Mr. Hahn has consistently shown his friendship with the Afro-American people. During the six years that he was treasurer of the Republican organization in the 19th, he used every effort to effect the appointment and promotion of Afro-Americans. It is notorious in the Black Belt that any Afro-American can go to Mr. Hahn's house at any hour of the day or night and be sure of friendly and cordial advice and practical assistance. Unlike most aldermen, Mr. Hahn is not afraid to be seen in the home of an Afro-American, or to have an interview with a visitor among his constituents without regard to race, color or creed, and is remarked throughout his district for his absolute freedom from prejudice. After the so-called race riots of August a year ago, when innocent and reputable Afro-Americans were beaten brutally by the police and arrested, Mr. Hahn was one of the committee appointed by the Republican organization to bail out the arrested Afro-Americans and defend them in the courts. The best commentary on the generous activity in their behalf of Mr. Hahn and his fellow committee-man is the fact that every Afro-American indicted for rioting was cleared without a penny of expense to any Afro-American involved. Mr. Hahn was born in Columbia county, New York, of German parentage. When he was a boy his family moved into the old 19th Assembly District, now a part of the new 13th, where Mr. Hahn has lived ever since. He is a high school graduate and is a master plumber by trade, and worked for one firm for sixteen years as head plumber. When he was twenty-two years old he was elected district captain, which position he held for seven years. He was then, as has been said before, made treasurer of the district Republican organization, and during this time was on the inside in promoting the measures for the political recognition of the Afro-American district. Although he has been in politics since he was of age, Mr. Hahn never sought public office until last year, when he was elected a member of the Board of Aldermen of New York city. He took his seat as alderman on January 1. He was the first official elected in the 19th Assembly District by that section largely populated by Afro-Americans. He had the unanimous support of every Afro-American election district captain. In the lower 16 election districts of the state, he was elected governor of the new 13th—of which over half are Afro-Americans, Mr. Hahn ran 365 votes ahead of his ticket. The Afro-American voters, you see, know a good man when they see him. As an Alderman Mr. Hahn has been of solid, practical service to the people. He has introduced a number of ordinances and resolutions before the Board, all of which were adopted. When the fight to remove the tracks from 8th avenue was on Mr. Hahn, in order to prevent further harassment, he introduced a resolution in the Board of Aldermen requesting the Legislature to pass the Saxe Eleventh Avenue Railroad bill. After several public hearings before the Rapid Transit Commission and ter overcoming the obstacles thrown in got his resolution unanimously l thus effectively strengthening the of Senator Saxe.

Mr. Hahn also caused the Board of Aldermen to issue special revenue bonds to pay for attendants to the new public baths. He forced 90th Street this provision had been made to employ attendants these baths would not have been opened yet. The baths are open to Afro-Americans and whites alike. Mr. Hahn has no need, as his rival for leadership in the 13th finds it necessary to do, to explain or apologize for any of his past acts or for those of his follow-ups. He forced the best Upcountry that, if elected, he will be for the Afro-Americans a generous and helpful friend in a high place. There is no "Jim Crowism" or Lilywhiteism in his make-up. TOM WATSON WITH HOKE SMITH FOR DISPRANCHISEMENT Populist Candidate for President Out for Democratic Faction. AUGUSTA, Ga., July 27.—It is said here on the authority of Congressman Thomas Hardwick that Tom Watson, Populist candidate for President in 1904, will announce his return to the Democratic party in order to support the candidacy of Hoke Smith for Governor. Smith is running on a platform which he objected to the impact of the Afro-America movement in is also fighting what he calls the "ring and railroad" domination of the Georgia Democracy. Watson has already advised all Populists to go into the Democratic primary on August 22 and vote for Smith. TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY AGAIN DRUBS PULAJANES Pilipino Outlaws Lost 150—American Had One Wounded. WASHINGTON, July 26.—Gen. Wood, in command of the Philippines, cabled the War Department yesterday that another engagement had occurred between the Twenty-fourth Regiment of United States Infantry, the Afro-American regiment, and the constabulary and 350 Poliafanes. Gen. Wood says that the information concerning the engagement came this morning from the Department of the Visayas, which indicated where it took place. In the engagement the enemy's loss was 150, while the American loss was only one constabulary pergent wounded, indicating the utter rout of the rebels. Gen. Wood adds that there is no occasion for anxiety. ATTEND BAPTIST CONVENTION Afro-American Baptists of Mississippi Number Over 225,000. JACKSON, Miss., July 27.—The local committee on arrangements here had to prepare accommodations for nearly 1,000 delegates to the Mississippi Negro Baptist convention had been recently. The membership of the Afro-American Baptist church in this State is estimated at between 225,000 and 250,000. It is the largest of all religious denominations, white or Afro-American. Sold Out Rather Than "Jim Crow" His Own People. PORTLAND, Ore., July 24.—Because his conscience made over the face of the white man was running a business for the white he felt compelled by business interests to "Jim Crow" his own people. Mr. Fred Thomas, an Afro-American, has sold out his business. NEARLY 1,000 DELEGATES FARRELL IS FRIGHTENED "Jim Crow" Candidate Is Trying Vainly to Allay Anger VOTERS SEE HIS GAME Are On to Imported Lilywhite Politics in 13th Assembly District. The indignation of the Afro-American citizens of the 13th Assembly district over the series of savage assaults recently made up several of their by those wearing the official caps of the club boss by Alderman Farrell—who is a candidate for Republican leader in that district—has greatly agitated Farrell and his lieutenants. After the account of the assaults appeared in THE AGE, Mr. Farrell hustled down among the Afro-American voters and made a futile attempt to allay their indignation by asserting that he was not responsible for what certain of his followers had perpetrated. But the Afro-Americans are not such easy marks as Candidate For them think they are. They are saying to one another, "Like leader like men," and reminding each other that those followers will, in case Farrell is elected, be in control of the district. There is and has been nothing whatever about Farrell to inspire Afro-Americans with confidence of proper recognition or even decent treatment in case he is elected. Farrell lives in the Gas House District. Can any Afro-American go down into that district, where lives the man who is now soliciting their votes, and make a political or any other kind of a speech with safety? Have Farrell and the organization to which he belongs ever put an Afro-American on a committee, or sent one to a convention, or given Afro-Americans any political recognition whatever in their club? Any man who has been involved in the political organization will find that it has merely imported from the South the Lillywhite and "Jim Crow" political system by which Republicanism in that section has been ruined. Northern Afro-Americans, who still have their votes, value them too justly to run the danger of ultimately losing them by supporting Lillywhite and "Jim Crow" candidates in the North. They cannot, as they are intelligent and self-respecting, surrender themselves to the kind of politicians and politics which have worked the political ruin of their brothers in the South. The members of the Monitor League, a political club, recognized that its very existence could be the threat to democracy of the Jim Crow organization such as Farrell's organization has always played. The decent members of the Monitor League sow that they will not descend to help drive in the opening-wedge of Lillywhite politics in the North by supporting such men as Farrell and his Cracker followers. Where Were the N. Y. Giants? PHILADELPHIA: July 30.—The *New York Colored Giants* disappointed the largest crowd last Friday that ever witnessed a game in their park by not putting in an appearance. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1906. Next to 26th, Tinkle in Mingjuan District on to Ao Zhu Ancient City. The new 8th Assembly District, of which John P. Windsor, Agapect Commissioner, is the Republican leader, has become since the reappointment one of the most important districts in the city so far as Afro-American are concerned. Its Afro-American electorate of nearly 3,000 places it second only to the new 18th Assembly District in point of Afro-American population. Mr. Windleph has already begun the pre-primary fight with his wanted energy. A big meeting of the campaign committee was held Monday night at 297 West 56th street, at which Leader George Mc. Keith had his Afro-American forces out in full strength. It was decided to make a most strentuous fight to defeat Mr. Jyvesshof, who has ambitions for the leadership of the district. The Afro-Americans who live in the old 11th Assembly District are not causing Mr. Windolph much worry, for they are well acquainted with his stamth friendship for the race. But the reaportionment added unto Mr. Windolph. Windolph is one of the youngest in the old 18th, and part of eight camps during the next seven weeks will be to get these newcomers into lines. That he will succeed in doing so no one doubts. SENATOR SIMMONS Holds UP MAIL CARRIER'S APPOINTMENT North Carolina Rules: Won't Take North Carolina Rams Won't Take Letters From Armed Assaults Letters from Afro-American RALKIGH, N. C., July 28—Thomas L. McKay, an Afro-American, was announced ten days ago as being assigned to duty as carrier on a rural free delivery unit as carrier. He has not begun work and it does not appear that he will be put on. As soon as it became known that there was to be an Afro-American carrier, succeeding a white man named Sugur, who resigned, the people particularly the women and children, began to protest. The owners of letter boxes objected on the ground that they are all farmers and that while they were at work they did not wish their wives and daughters to receive mail from or deliver it to an Afro-American. Everybody along the route takes the wives of the carrier to be white. The protest was by Baleigh man to Senator Simmons, who telegraphed that he has held up temporarily the appointment of the Afro-American carrier. All the carriers in this part of the State are white, and there has never been any trouble of this kind before. "BUS LINE TO RETAILLARE" "ON "JIM CROW" STREET CARS Citizens of Norfolk Have Organised a Boycott. NORFOLK, Va., July 28.—W. H. Thorogood, an Afro-American, is authority for the statement that leading Afro-Americans of this city have formed a company and will at once begin to operate a number of wagons and busses in reallocation on the "Jim Crow" street car law. Thorogood says that all of the stock in the company has been subscribed and that very shortly the conveyances would be put into operation. He named an Afro-American lawyer as counsel for the company, which is also empowered to conduct a parcel delivery and baggage express. The Negroes naturally feel indignant that they should be moved from place to place on the cars," said Thorogood, "and they have determined to boycott the street car lines. An independent bus line has been in successful operation over in Portsmouth since the "Jim Crow" law went into effect, and the car companies feel the cut in their receipts. In the past week there have been held two meetings with an Afro-American bail as a result of these meetings grew the company which will haul Negro passengers to and from their homes and places of employment." TANGLE IN "JIM CROW" CAR SYSTEM OF VIRGINIA May Afro-American Sft With Whites when "Colored" Section is Full! NORFOLK, Va., July 23.—Seeing Afro-American people riding on the same seats with and sometimes between white street car patrons, and thinking that the "Jim Crow" law was not being complied with, as it should be, should Police Booths be allowed to railway and Light Company officials, and with Assistant Manager Hunt, of that line, carefully went over the new "Jim Crow" act. The chief became convinced that under the law when all seats in the Afro-American section are occupied, and there is a vacant seat in the white section at the time another Afro-American person boards the car this morning, and the police seat and this vacant seat, even though it be between whites, belongs to him, it be the duty of the conductor as contended by the railway officials to assign the Afro-American patron to the seat. RICHMOND WILL HAVE FOUR NATIONAL CONVENTIONS SOON True Reformers, Baptists, Old Fellows and Order of St. Luke. RICHMOND, July 30.—Richmond is sustaining its reputation as a convention city. Within the next two or three months there will assemble here four large bodies of National importance—the Independent Order of St. Luke, the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, the National Baptist Sunday School Convention and the B. M. C. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. Richmond will throw wide open her doors to receive these strangers who are coming from every section of the Union. Georgia Ex-Slaves to Meet. AUGUSTA, Ga., July 29.—There will be a meeting of ex-slaves on Uncleace near Duncan's Mills, Franklin county, on August 4. The leaders in the movement to make the Afro-American Council meeting here in October an eminent success were astonished and profoundly encouraged by the enthusiastic multitude which throughed Mt. Olivet Baptist church on Wednesday evening of last week, in obedience to Bishop Walter's stirring call for a preliminary mass meeting. The sincerity of their enthusiasm endured the supreme test, and came out with flying colors, when at the close of the meeting a collection was called for to defray the council's immediate expenses for stationery, etc. The people almost literally trampled upon each other in their zeal to help the great cause; and the money came in so fast that the secretary came to do the same duties of the names of the contributors. From the 82 bills of race capitalists to the welcome pennies of the poor—every step in our currency was represented. The total collection was nearly $60. An Dr. Gilbert, chairman of the General Committee, was detained out of town until after the meeting began, Bishop Alexander Walters, president of the Afro-American Council, took the chair. In the absence in the South of Secretary Fred R. Moore, Assistant Secretary R. L. Stokes was at the desk. The meeting was with prayer by Rev. Horace G. Miller. Bishop Walters then made one of his history speeches, reviewing the history of the council, and thrilled his audience with his picture of the greatness of the victory the council will soon endeavor. He was enthusiastically applauded. Dr. William L. Bulkley made one of his sensible and earnest addresses. Other speakers who drew applause were Rev. Dr. McMullen, Mr. R. C. Simmons, Rev. Miller, Attorney Wetmore and Hon. George W. Wiberg. Gilbert had come in. pointedly indicated the duty of the Northern Afro-American to support the council in the remark: "The Northern Negro is not free so long as he has to be a slave whenever he goes to North Carolina." Bishop Walters announced the purpose of the council to nominate a local Committee of One Hundred, in round numbers, to take charge of the arrangements for the council meeting in October. The secretary read the list, and the leaders were deeply gratified when several additional persons volunteered to assist the council by becoming members of the committee. The Committee of One Hundred will hold its first meeting on August 7 at Mr. Olivet church. The secretary will fiffify them the work of nomination and invite them to be present on that evening. It is hoped that all will respond, as matters of great importance will be taken up. If the meeting last week is an earnest of the interest of the Afro-Americans of New York in the National Council, its meeting in October will break the record in the way of race conventions. SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONS CAUSE POUNDING OF TWO HOSPITALS Dr. Geo, C. Hall Amese Enthusiast in Memphis, LOUISVILLE, July 30.—Dr. George C. Hall, the noted physician and surgeon of Chicago, will make a professional visit here before going East to attend the annual session of the National Medical Association, which meets in Philadelphia this month. Dr. Hall has just returned from Memphis, where he performed ten difficult operations in abdominal surgery, without losing a case. He delivered a series of lectures and conducted a number of clinical demonstrations for the Blu Medical Association and created an award led to the establishment of two hospitals for the accommodations of Afro-American patients. He was tendered a banquet and presented with a handsomely engraved umbrella; and resolutions were adopted approving most heartily his proposed post-graduate school for colored physicians, in connection with Provident Hospital, Chicago. 75 LYNCHERS MARCHED TO JAIL BY 5 POLICEMEN Barrel Fill of Discarded Pistols Picked Up About Lockup. PADUCAH, Ky., July 27—Seventy-five men who came here from Maysfield to Lynch-Allen Matthews, an Afro-American accused of criminal assault on Miss Ethel McClain, at Maysfield, were arrested at 3 o'clock this morning by five policemen. Four officers arrived at 9 o'clock with the prisoner, and the mob came soon after. The man was put in jail and the officers stood guard. A member of the mob made an incendial speech and the five policemen declared the whole party under arrest. The officers, armed with riot guns, warned the mob that the first man who tried to escape would be shot, and none seemed to care to take a chance. After forming the mob into line the officers infiltrated the whole bunch to the city hall. They were being held while Police Judge Pursey looks up the law to what is to be done with them. Nearly a barrelful of pistols were picked up around the jail, where their owners had thrown them. BELEN GOULD HAS BEREA CASE TAKEN TO SUPREME COURT BENZA, Ky., July 30.—After consultation with Miss Helen Gould, who is one of the largest donors to the endowment fund of Berea College, attorney John G. Carlisle and Guy Mallon of 10191 s. to the Supreme Court of the State on appeal from the decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, which sustained the constitutionality of the Day law, prohibiting white and Afro-American children from attending the same school. Hereens hold that, being a private institution, supported entirely by private students, the institution against mixed schools. The college ran for fifty years as a mixed school, without networky difficulty until the passage of the Day law two years ago. Deputy Collector, Under His Supervision, Seen to Be Named. WARNINGTON, July 27.—Puerto Rico will soon become a part of the New York city internal revenue collection district and a deputy collector, subject to the supervision of Collector Anderson, will be designated in a short time. He will go to the island and establish an office for the sale of revenue stamps, thereby greatly facilitating the business of the Territory. Under the present system all internal revenue stamps required for use in Puerto Rico are sent directly from Washington. The plan has proved awkward and unsatisfactory. The Treasury Department will make a large number of stamp bears the imprint "P. R.," and these will be forwarded in due time to whoever is selected deputy collector. The deputy will establish himself either at San Juan or Ponce. GREATER LOUISVILLE LEAGUE Includes New Albany and Jeffersonville, Ind.-Interest Rife. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 30.-Louisville has an Afro-American population of 50,000 and numbers among this total hundreds of substantial-business men, who are engaged in every variety of commercial enterprise, from undertaking, insurance, photography and contracting to the humble-cook shop and boot blocking stand. They are prospering, too, and constantly enlarging their investments. For some reason, nevertheless, the city has not been able until recently to maintain a satisfactory local branch of the National Negro Business League though the leaders have for several years tried to infuse into the moribund organization the electric current of aggressive activity. Success seems to have at last crowned their efforts, for the local league has for the most part been new life and the weekly meetings at the M.C. have been well attended. The leagues of New Albany and Jeffersonville, Ind., presided over respectively by Dr. W. O. Vance and Joseph H., Welch, have been merged into the Greater Louisville League, although a separate organization will be maintained in each of the sister cities for purely local purposes. The officers of the reorganized Lafayetteville branch are: President, W. H Brown; 1st vice-president, D. L. Knight; 2d vice-president, R. W. Thompson; recording secretary T. E. Parks; corresponding secretary T. E. Barnett; treasurer S. Smith; member Smith; assistant Wallace Thomas. An executive committee is yet to be chosen. Investigations are now being made looking to chartering an elegant chair-car to carry the delegates to the annual convention, which will be held next month in Atlanta. Meetings are being held every M. Sunday at the wooded Y.M. Day 942 West Walnut street, to which every Afro-American business man is cordially invited. WILL CLINCH OPTION UPON Effective Work of Secretary Bullock and Other. LOUISVILLE Jul; 30—Secretary C. H. Bullock, Rev. T. A. Blue, Prof. A. E. Meyerze, Rev. C. B. Allen and other active promoters of the fund for the new Y. M. C. A. building announced yesterday that they have the full amount of $2,500 in hand to be paid over to the owners on the first day of August, the date upon which the option expires. By raising this comparatively small amount, the Afro-American people secure absolute possession of a handsome and commodious building for $9,500, conveniently located. Ground will be broken this fall for a $25,000 Carnegie Library building for Afro-American patrons, situated within a stone's throw of the Y. M. C. A., making 10th and Chestnut streets the natural center of the literary and religious effort of the Afro-American citizens of Louisville. TEXAS REPUBLICANS FLOCK TO ANTI-LYON HEADQUARTERS Afro-American Voters Especially Sore Against Him. DENISON, Texas, July 23.—This city being the headquarters of the anti-Lyon wing of the Republican party, politicians are arriving from all sections of the State to hold conferences with State Chairman Acheson. About 75 per cent. are Afro-Americans. The dissatisfaction with Lyon seems greater with the Afro-American element than with the whites. To a reporter the State chairman remarked to-day: "We expect to go into the State convention at Houston August 10 two hundred strong: a new party will be born, the real Republican party of Texas." Another Auto Company. AUSTIN, Tex., July 28 — Afro-American citizens of this city are making preparations, to begin an automobile service when the "Jim Crow" street car services go into effect. A joint stock company will conduct the business. PRICE, 5 CENTS. Atlantic City Beach Is "Jim Crowed" at South-orners' Demand. But Universal Discrimination is Feared Against Afro-Americans. ATLANTIC City, July 28—Largely upon the complaint of Southern white patrons, Afro-American waiters, cooks, chambermaids and bellboys have been requested by their employers not to bath or lounge in the surf or on the beach in front of and upon the properties of their employers. As a result of vigorous protests by visitors against Afro-Americans on the sand and under pavilions, and the lavasion of the fashionable upown bathing grounds of the hotel employee, a placard, of which the following morning was posted yesterday morning in forty-one hotels, amusement and business places between Massachusetts and Arkansas avenues. The placard, amounting to an order in that its violation will lead to the dismissal of the offenders follow: "To Our Colored Employees: "We, the undersigned, representing the properties designated opposite our respective names, being the beach front from Young's New Palace Pier at Arkansas avenue to Heins Pier at Massachusetts Avenue, in the bloomed City, in respectfully appeal to you to amuse us for our mutual benefit in keeping up and increasing the Summer popularity of Atlantic City, upon which we both depend for our welfare. "Visitors from a very large section of the country raise decided objection to the white people and the colored people bathing in the surf together, and in consequence we are losing this very large portion of the visitors to Atlantic City. "Under these circumstances, as you as well depend upon our visitors for our living, we cannot you we want if our income ceases because visitors stay away, it is the duty of both of us to assist each other for our mutual welfare by co-operating to remove any condition which injures the popularity of the resort. "We therefore respectfully request both you, our colored employees, and your families and friends, not to bathe nor lounge in the surf or on the beach in front of and upon any of our respective property in the New Orleans Place and Heima Pier, feel sure that will appreciate this appeal in the spirit in which it is made, and that its observance will benefit both yourselves and ourselves.

GETTING THE GLAD HAND FROM CHICAGO POLITICIANS Afro-American Votes Needed in Hot Primary Election. CHICAGO, July 29—The Afro-American voter in Chicago is a big man just now. The town is on the eye of what men call a "hot primary election." The Afro-American brother is an important citizen. He gets a letter by nearly every mail. He is smiled upon because that "it is fine or a rainy day," etc. He receives polite invitations to all kinds of causes, conferences and conventions. The Afro-American voter seem to have enough votes in the city to elect or detain any candidate on a close election. Schools " Jim Crowed" in Wichita. WICHITA, KANS., July 29—The school board of Wichita deprived of eleven Republican and one Democrat, will not separate rooms in three or four school buildings for the use of Afro-American children. Tarilling Development Since National League Met Special Correspondence of The Amc CHICAGO, July 26—Dr. Booker T. Washington spent Monday, July 23, in Chicago en route to Iowa. He is booked for several Chautauqua addresses in the West. While in Chicago Dr. Washington put in a full day. Newspaper men and others besieged him. His chief con- cern, however, was in learning all that was possible concerning the Central Nero Business League, and he was in conference a good deal of the time with S. Laring Williams and other local League men. Dr. Washington was duly impressed with the wonderful growth of business enterprises among the colored people. of this city since the National convention was held here a few years ago. It is safe to say that there are more than twice the number of business places located here than there were in 1801. In fact, in no city in the country can there be found so many Afro-American men and women engaged in business of various kinds. An Afro-American, with keen interest in having trouble in breaking down the color line in the matter of business patronage. Under the stimulating influence of the Business League our ambitious young men have not hesitated to break into new fields of business enterprises. When the National League met in Chicago there was no such thing as a dry goods house or a haberdashery store carried on by Afro-Americans. Now there are three well-furnished and up-to-date haberdashery stores. These stores are not 'colored' places, in the sense that they are the most diverse of the inexperienced and over-ambitions novice. They have all the brightness of modern style and method that one would expect to find in places patronized by the gentility. The most striking example of progress in this line is the Sandy W. Trice & Co. Department Store. This is it. The largest and best equipped dry goods store in the downtown elephants of the business houses are owned and carried on by white men. This store covers a space of 175 feet deep and over 90 feet wide. Its equipments, arrangements and furnishings are all-modern, bright and attractive. The tone of the place is as high as you will see in any place on Broadway. The clerks act as the owners of the stores and the lives, and the daily receipts indicate that they know how to sell goods. The store carries a stock valued at from $8,000 to $10,000. Not much, as compared with the big emporiums, but quite as much when you consider the disastrous young man Trice and his associates have had no commercial training, and no inheritance of business instincts. Sandy Trice came out of the State of Missouri a few years ago with nothing but his clothes and a stock of good health. The State that gave him birth to him him polite and to be scant material out of which to make a merchant, but in manner he is as savve and polite as a Frenchman and as shrewd in the manipulation of a dollar as an Israelite. Circumstances and the times marked him for a porter, but insignificant something in him that would have been obvious. In these dull days of the hot months the store averages from $125 to $150 per day in sales. The concern has an established credit in all the 'wholesale and jobbery houses of the city. Its patrons are of all races and conditions. Mr. Trice's business integrity has made him friends, and his business tact has made him satisfied. His ambition is not yet satisfied. His努力 has been and a greater business. No one who has watched the present beginnings doubts the possibility of a greater expansion. Business enterprise is contagious. One man's success is the beginning of another man's career. The National Negro Business League has not talked of business business, business in vain. Shops, stores and little factories seem to be the passion of the show. Hair dressers, office officers, insurance companies, grocery stores, shoe polishing establishments, second-hand stores, photograph galleries, coal and wood companies, drug stores, restaurants, small factories for the manufacture of razor strophe, shoe polish, metal polish and insect exterminators, tailor shop, money lenders, teaming and transmitters, hair cutters, bath bathers, cigarmakers, newsleaders, undertakers, etc. are springing up in wonderful profusion. It is easily seen how well the Afro-American can take care of himself if given a chance. The tyranny of race prejudice is not strong enough to stifle ambition and prevent material success. In looking over the field here it is not too hard to come the most important city in the country for Afro-American business men and women. WILL SUE BECAUSE HE WAS CLASSED AS A WHITE MAN Afro-American's Grievance Against Richmond Directory Company. ASHVILLE, N. C., July 28—Henry Pearson, hotel proprietor of this place, is an Afro-American and is proud of it. Alleging that his character and business has been damaged to the extent of several thousand dollars because he has been listed in the Ashville city directory as a white man, Pearson, who conducted the Royal Victoria hotel, a house run ex-merchant for an Afro-American, within the next month against the Hill Directory Company of Richmond, Va.; and the Hackney and Moor Printing Company of Ashville. "I am an Afro-American," says Pearson, "and I don't propose to stand for being claused as a white man." Special Correspondence of the Ace. ATLANTA, Ga., July 20.—Reference was made in The Ace last week to the death of a paper formerly edited from this city called The Mose. In this connection is may not be amiss to my there is another publication in this city, if rumor is correct, which will soon go the way of The Mose. Frederick Deleges onto the Ace, the certain class of people gave a coat to an Afro-American a close examination of the coat would reveal that it had a hole in it somewhere. There is a monthly publication in this city which began its career with a great deal of bluster about two years ago. The man placed at the head of this publication was a young fellow just out of college. Instead of beginning his editorial work in the university, he pathy and co-operation of the rank and file of the race leaders and thinkers who for over thirty years had carried the burdens of the race, he at once began to beate, abuse and criticise institutions and these men with a lavish hand. To make matters worse he tied himself to the South, where he was mobilized and from the first the citizens of this place and the South have presented the idea of being led by a Boston man only recently out of prison. In other words, the young editor began as many young men do, in an attempt to tear down, break up and destroy the building up for over a quarter of a century. He knew more than all of those old tried leaders combined. Another fact reveals itself, if rumor is correct—your correspondent has strong grounds for thinking it is—and this is that from the first the publication has been a complete financial failure. The white owners of this publication are said to have lost over $20,000 in trying to float it, and seeing that they could not make a success of it, formed a stock company composed large part of Afro-American arms and property in this stock company. This so-called stock company is now advertising the sale of stock, promising to pay 7 per cent, or something like that. Now the question arises. If these white owners lost thousands of dollars in a few months trying to keep this publication alive, where in the world is the profit coming to pay this 7 per cent. profit? It seems a plain case of the former owners of this publication using the Afro-American people to let themselves down and out easily. Our further says "they are not nothing, except our subscription books, for this stock to represent, as there is nothing whatever in the way of a plant owned by the publishers. In the words of Douglass, "There is a hole in the coat." International League's Exciting Games for Atro-American Fans. PHILADELPHIA, July 30.—The Wilmington Giants made their first appearance in the International League on Friday afternoon and lost a hard fought Philadelphia ball park, by the score of 6 to 5. With the exception of the third inning, when the Wilmington Giants scored four runs, Perez pitched good ball for the Cubans. Wilmington made desperate efforts to win the game in the ninth, but after scoring one run, a man from the opposing team slipped at the plate. The fielding of Wilkinson, Harris and Hill and the batting of Winston were the features. There have been several changes in the International League, the Wilmington Giants taking the place of the Cuban Stars, and the Philadelphia Giants, Afro-American champions of the world, replacing Philadelphia Giants. The Cuban-X-Giants played the Riverton-Palmyra team in a championship game contest at the Athletic grounds on Saturday. League standing: Won Lost P.C.

PHILADELPHIA, July 10—Accompanied by Senator Charles L. Brown, Andrew Gilbert, an Afro-American, appeared be fore the Commissioner of Registration Saturday night and demanded a hearing. A few days ago Gilbert applied for appointment as Republican inspector for the ninth division of Fifteenth ward, and was objected to by Daniel Simpkins, representing the Republican senator, that he had vouched for a number of Afro-Americans in the February election. Senator Brown, addressing Commissioner Woodruff, said: "I wish you to give Andrew Gilbert, against whom an objection has been filed, a hearing." "Yes, for vouching for voters," said Commissioner Woodruff. Whereupon Commissioner Pierce, with considerable earnestness, said: "This man was brought up here the other day, and will be able to produce a single fact against him. I say this man is innocent until he is found, guilty. If he committed an election fraud, he should have been punished. That he vouched for voters is no crime." It looked for a moment as if there was going to be a clash between the members of the board when Commissioner Scattergood suggested that it was not the time for hearing protests. Commissioner Woodruff then fixed a day this week for hearing Gilbert's case when other proteins will also be heard. TREID, CONVICIED, HANGED IN LESS THAN AN HOUR Headlong . Procedure in Tennessee Smacks of Lyncching. MEMPHIS, Tennessee, July 31.—All records for trial, conviction and execution in any court, were broken to-night when Allen Matthias, the Afro-American assailant of Mime Ethel McLane, was placed on trial in Judge Baugha court, at Mayfield, Ky. convicted by a regular jury andanged the beck until he was dead all in 45 minutes. Matthias not only was identified by his victim, but confessed his crime. HAYTI AGAIN IN TROUBLE PORT AU PRINCE, Hayil, July 26.—Hayil's department of foreign affairs is again involved in disputes with foreign nations. This time the trouble is with France. Several months ago the store of Betsch Brothers, Syrian merchants, was entered by burglars. Three Frenchmen were arrested on suspicion and in jail two years ago, and acquitted, there being not a particle of evidence against them. The French minister to Hayil then presented to the minister of foreign affairs a claim for damages to these men on account of illegal detention and imprisonment. A new minister of foreign affairs was recently appointed by President Alexis. He is a black man named Sanon, from a small-cast town, and one of the most bitter haters of the whites. Mr. Sanon sent to the French minister a letter in which she sarcastically criticized the windmill, insisting that "in future, whites brought before Hayil taut courts must be convicted, whether guilty or innocent, as, if acquitted, they invariably consider themselves privileged to bring suit against the Government." "What France will do in this matter is, however, of less importance than is the possible action by Germany in what the Rheinbold is one of the heaviest holders of Haytan Government bonds. When Congress reduced the interest on these bonds and removed the guarantees Herr Rheinbold refused to submit to the injustice. The minister of finance then accused Herr Rheinbold of having obtained his bonds by fraud, demanded restitution of $250,000 and swized $750,000 worth of bonds, with accrued interest, as security. Herr Rheinbold brought suit and won in the lower court. The Government immediately appealed, as usual and as usual, will undoubtedly obtain a favorable decision in the upper court. LOUISIANA SENDS AFTER 1,500 PORTO RICAN LABORERS Planters Satisfied Over Experiment With Them. SAN JUAN, P. R. JUL. 31.—Llewellyn Allen, representing the Louisiana Planters' company, created 1,500 native plantation laborers.

PHILADELPHIA, July 30.—Laboring under the impression that he had attempted to kidnap Esther, the six year-old child of Solomon Slovitz, of 119 New street, a crowd threatened John Brown, an Afro-American Saturday night and became so menacing that the police were compelled to arrest him. The district police station to prevent trouble. Brown, who works along the river front, passed the corner of New and Front streets shortly after 6 o'clock, when little Esther Slovitz was playing in the street. Stories as to what Brown did differ, but Slovitz chased him down the street. Esther Slovitz kidnap the child, Policeman Lyums heard the father's shouts and took Brown a prisoner. A big crowd collected, and Slovitz was so insistent that an attempt had been made to steal his child that his neighbors became threatening. The patrol from the fifth district was out, and in order to get Brown away from the crowd he had to walk down the street, which was standing near by, and hurried to the station, with the crowd following. Brown told Lieutenant Burke that he had simply put his hand on the child's head as he passed her in the street, and in this he was corroborated by several persons who had seen the affair; but Slovitz insisted that he had picked the child up and believed in the purpose of carrying her away. Brown had been drinking, and pending a hearing was locked up charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct. LYNCHING THREATENS WHITE An Abominable Crime on the Other Side of the Line. GATE CITY, Virginia, July 28.—Charles Ferrel, a white married man, twenty-five years old, was placed in jail here at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, charged with assault on Rebecca J. Thomas, a young woman nineteen years old and partially paroled. The crime was committed at Duffield, eighteen miles west of here. Sunday afternoon. The preliminary trial yesterday afternoon developed that the young woman was in search of her mother, who she heard, lived at Duffield, the girl having been given away by her mother at the age of seven. That he would lead her to her mother, Ferrel, it is alleged, took her into the woods, maltreated, kicked and abused her, leaving her half dead. The crime was not divulged for several days, the girl being cared for by citizens. The preliminary hearing ended last night and aroused such intense feelings that the guards slipped the man away and hurried him here to fail to prevent lynching. The girl is in a critical condition. She was reared in Lee county and has a good reputation. W. B. Cox, one of the most vigorous clients, was retained by clients to prosecute Ferris.

RICHMOND NOT REPRESENTED AT YOUNG PEOPLE'S CONGRESS City Claims It Was Ignored by High Officials RICHMOND, Va., July 30—Richmond will not be represented at the Young People's Educational and Christian Congress that meets in Washington to mourn, as was represented at Atlanta two years ago, also at the convention responsible for thus having almost completely ignored Richmond. And the disming of Richmond means the ignoring of Virginia. At the request of Mr. I. Garland Penn and others three different meetings were held, different times, at each of which Mr. Penn, others of the executive committee on the congress had promised to be present and deliver addresses. At neither meeting did those gentlemen show up. The State Commissioner, Nelson Williams, Jr., did not receive his commission till July 15, and two representatives on the program were on the same time. Richmond is down and out and will not have a corporal's guard at the great congress. BOOGUS POLICE EXTORT MONEY UNDER THREATS OF ARREST Justice of Peace Appoints to Vardaman for Afro-American. JACKSON, Miss., July 26.—Justice of the Peace J. W. Langley has found it necessary to write an open letter to Governor Vardaman asking him to interfere with the sale of Afro-Americans from whom two white men have offered an affidavit have been extorting money under threats of arrest. A part of the letter follows in which the guilty men are named: "This brazen piece of work has been indulged in for some time, but as the Negroes are very much afraid of the two so-called officers, it has been impossible to have one of their number, make an affidavit against them. But they have been indulged in the act of holding that I deem my duty to call your attention to the matter, as Charles Van Buren was appointed by you to the position of constable. "The proof is conclusive. Most any police officer, and my own constable, Louis Gordon, if called upon, can testify to facts that cannot be denied. Joe Cade confined to his room for six or seven days, and signed affidavits, and even placed the accused upon trial, assessed fine, and costs, and collected the same." "I have one case in my own court, a Negro, Coot Hawkins, who was arrested against him, affidavit first being made against him, so being issued $3 collected from him. In view of the fact that Van Buren has not been legally elected as constable in this district, I would respectfully suggest that you re-commission under which he claims to be a constable, and I am aisted in his work by Burt McGowan, who has no legal authority whatever." There is much speculation as to whether Vardaman will see fit to interfere. Leaped Blasing 20 Feet to Ground— Tried to Save Uacile's House. PHILADELPHIA. July 30.—As a result of her heroic attempt to beat out a fire which started in the room next to where she was dressing, Miss Jennie Wilson, 10 years old, an Afro-American, was no seriously burned yesterday that her life is despaired of. Miss Wilson, who lives with her uncle, Dr. Pinkert, at 20 South Jimipe street.was forced to coat with a cold, clock when she detected the odor of smoke coming from the next room. When she opened the door, a mass of smoke and flame rushed out, enveloping her. The rest of the family were on the lower floor of the house, and the girl tried to fight the flames herself. In a moment her skirts and her whole dress was in flames. Frendled by the realization of her danger, she rushed to the window and screamed, but Miri Pinkert, who was immediately below her, was too frightened to even call for her husband. Then the girl, made desperate by her suffering, pushed the second story window, striking heaving fire in the ground, twent feet below just as her uncle came to her rescue. He wrapped a blanket about her and extinguished the flames as quickly as possible, but the girl had lapsed into unconsciousness. She was taken to the Pennsylvania hospital, where the phylaxisian Bramante to say her leap of twelfth. Bramante to say her leap of twelfth.

SHOT LITTLE CHILD WHILE PURSUING THEIR VENGEANCE Tragic End of Quest for Boys, Who Stoned White Man. LONOKE, Ark. July 27. - P. L. Hunnicutt, Bob Mass and John Hester, the three white men who are in jail at this place charged with killing an Afro-American child near Austin last Saturday night, have through their attorneys, Trimble, Robinson & Trimble, instituted habeas corpus proceedings which will come up before Judge George M. Chapline. On last Sunday two Afro-Americans, Joe and Arthur Watson, became involved in a difficulty with some white boys and in the fight one of them struck a son of P. L. Hunnicutt on the head with a rock and was placed in jail. The process was procured and placed in the hands of officers, but so far the Afro-Americans have not been caught. Sunday night some one went to the home of Dan Lewis, another Afro-American living on the farm of George P. Murrell, and demanded the Watson boys.

BAPTIST WOMEN HOLD HELPFUL MISSIONARY CONVENTION Preacher-Editor Wood a Royal Heat— Boris Bavrych a sneaker DR. PARKIN AS SPEAKER. DANVILLE, July 28—The Baptist Women's Missionary Convention, held here July 18 to 22, was a highly enjoyable and profitable occasion. A large number of delegates from various sections of the State were present, and the reports from the several societies were very encouraging. Mrs. James E. Glenn, of Louisville, presided. Excellent addresses were delivered by Dr. Payne, D.C. H. Parishrish and other visiting pastors. A feature of the occasion was the superb singing of Miss Sophie E. Johnson, Falls City's favorite contralto, who rendered appropriate selections at each of the public sessions. The convention was held in the magnificent First Baptist church, which was built not long ago by the energetic Rev. Dr. Wood at a cost of over $35,000. Dr. Wood, the pastor of The Torch Light at Danville, and was recently elected right worthy grand chief of the Good Samaritans of the State, proved himself to be a royal host.

T. Howard, of Owington, Ky., the titular head of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World. At the last session of the grand lodge in Washington on August 30, 1905, it was decided by the grand lodge to hold its next session in Brooklyn during this month. But when, a short time ago, an Afro-American Elk was arrested at the instance of the white Elks of New York for alleged violations of the Grattan bill, which forbids men not members of organizations to wear their insignia, Mr. Howard got cold feet about meeting in Brooklyn and on his sole initiative announced that the place of meeting had been shifted to Columbus, O.

All the big elective officers of the Grand Lodge has promised to come to Brooklyn and ignore the Columbus meeting. Dr. Atkins, of Hampton, Va., and Counselor Wilford Holmes, who were Howard's best friends, have turned against him and are sending out letters to the Southern and Western lodges urging them to attend the meeting in Brooklyn. Howard is said to be trembling in his boots over the, rumpus he has stirred up, and to be very apprehensive least his days as Grand Exalted Ruler shall be short in the land. When the measure known as the Grattan Bill had passed the New York Legislature and become law, the white Elks who are constitutionally opposed to the existence of an Afro-American order, sought the aid of this statute to suppress the Afro-American brethren in the State and made several arrests. This condition of affairs gave birth to the Joint Legislative Committee and which comprises representatives from Brooklyn lodge. No. 32, Manhattan lodge, No. 45, and Progressive lodge. No. 35 of Jersey City. This committee was charged with the duty of defending all cases arising in the courts in which Afro-American Elks were involved and of investigating other legal matters pertaining to the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World; which task they have concientiously performed. During this trouble Howard failed, they say, to grant them the least assistance, but published his claim to the honors shortly afterwards. They have successfully fought every issue arising in the courts, and the judicial records show that no Afro-American Elk has even been convicted by any court in this State for wearing the pin or emblem of his order. They have established by precedent that the Afro-American can wear the button of any secret order of which he is a member. Official notification of their suspension has not reached the officials of either of the local lodges as yet, but a copy of it was received by an exx official of the lodge. This letter was undated, unsealed, and signed by Howard on a typewriter—asking his correspondent to hand it over to the proper lodge officials whenever most convenient. PENNSYLVANIA NEARLY HAS LYNCHING—TROLLEY RACES MOB Men in Teams Shoot After Car Clear to Washington County Jail. CANONSHURG, Pa., July 15, '30.—Storming the car in which Coroner W. H. Sipe, Constable W. P. Wilson and several others were taking Elmer Dempster to Washington at 7 o'clock this morning, a mob of 2,000 people bent on lynching him succeeded in securing the Afro-American who had confessed to killing Mrs. Sarah Pearce and her two children last night. Dempster was captured at daybreak. In a fight, which followed the police regained their prisoner and the motorman started his car for Washington. Several persons were infused when the car was started. After making a confession at the Pearce home, Dempster was brought here, where he was confined in jail. Shortly before 7 o'clock Coroner Sipe, Constable W. P. Wilson and several other officers prepared to take the prisoner to the county jail. A mob was about the jail when the officers arrived and followed them and their prisoner to the car harms. Cries of "Lynch him!" "Kill the nigger!" "Stamp him!" "Burn him!" were heard, but there was no real attempt made to take the prisoner until the car was reached. Just as the officers were about to board the car the crowd surged forward. Several men grabbed the trembling prisoner and he was knocked to the ground. Coroner Sipe drew his revolver, but this only maddened the crowd. It was knocked from his hand, and the crowd pushed forward. The prisoner was finally placed in the car and officers stationed at both ends. The car was surrounded and another determined effort was made to get the prisoner with a rope. The windows were smashed by bullets and flying stones. Eighteen teams pursued the trolley car clear to Washington, the occupants shooting as they went. There was a battle on the steps of the Washington county jail, but the prisoner was finally landed in a cell. The force of guards has been quard rupled to night, the authorities fearing an attempt at lynching. The confession of Dempster was most revolting, and there is so much feeling against him that he may be moved to Pittsburgh for safety. Third Attempt Effected Suicide. PHILADELPHIA, July 28—Leaving a note to his brother, Talbion W. Brown, an Afro American, of 1432 South Juniper street, committed suicide sometime during last night. It was the third attempt to take his life. Six weeks ago Brown was found in a gas filled room, but saved. Six months ago he attempted suicide by taking poison. In the note to his brother, Brown asks that his clothing be given to his sister-in-law a father. The body was found by the man's brother, A. W. Brown, who is a railway moll clerk, when he returned from work about 4 o'clock in the morning. COLUMBUS, O., July 30.—The Ohio Educational and Industrial exposition, to be held here on August 25-30 promises to be a noteworthy exhibition of the progress of the Afro-Americans of this State. Prof. C. A. Johnson, of Wilberforce University, and Prof. O. Jackson, who are touring the State securing exhibits, are rendering reports of an exceedingly encouraging nature, showing to what extent enthusiasm abounds throughout the State. It will be merely a question of how many exhibits the exposition officials will be able to look after. Hundreds of exhibitors are daily inquiring for space and it seems that everyone in the State is anxious to exhibit something, showing the educational, moral and material progress of the race since emancipation. Everything from a homemade quilt to a manufactured Turkish rug and an automobile will be on exhibition. All these articles will be manufactured by Afro-Americans. From an educational standpoint, these features will have a tendency to show how the race is embarking upon the seas of commercial activity. In the States of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Pennsylvania, interest is not lacking in the movement, and many merchants, and other prominent Afro-Americans are voluntarily offering exhibitions. The prominent educators of the country are lending their educational and moral support to the worthy effort. Among them are Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee; Prof. Gilbert, of Payne College, Augusta, Ga.; President Jones, of Wilberforce University; and Prof. DuBois of Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga. These prominent leaders will be present and deliver addresses, as well as send exhibits from their respective institutions. The statistical information being collected will embody several of the following features and will be compiled in book form for future reference: Number of Afro-American children attending school, number of children not attending school, number of graduates, high school and normal, and appointed as teachers; amount of taxable property; number of churches, of trained nurses and physicians, of lawyers, of Afro-American authors, of farms owned by Afro-Americans; number of Afro-Americans owning newspapers, number of manufacturers, number of inventors, number of children living to school age, and number of persons dying each year; and per cent. of criminals. AFRO-AMERICANS RELATIVELY SMALL CLASS AMONG PAUPERS Census Report Shows This Gratifying Fact. WASHINGTON, July 28—The Bureau of Census has published a special report on paupers in the almshouses of the United States. The inquiry that formed the basis of this report was conducted under the direction of Mr. John Koren, export special agent, and the work of collection and compilation was performed under the supervision of the statistician of vital statistics. Afro-American paupers do not constitute so large a proportion of the almshouse population as Afro-Americans form of the general population, which is surprising, since the position in the economic scale usually determines the extent of pauperism. The foreign born whites, whose economic position is not high, show a greater tendency towards pauperism that the native whites of native parentage and native whites of foreign parentage. There is, however, no reason to believe that many immigrants drift into almshouses soon after their arrival in the United States, for only 2.3 per cent. of all the foreign born in almshouses had been in this country less than five years. Among the different-nationalities of foreign-born whites the degree of thrift, combined with racial characteristics, seems to determine, in large part, the tendency toward pauperism. SHE WAS A CONTEMPORARY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON'S Afro-American Woman Dies in Atlanta at Age of 125. ATLANTA, July 27.—Harriate Tate, an Afro-American woman, who was born while the revolutionary war was still in progress, died recently at the age of 125 years at her home, 58 Griffin street. The aged woman was a contemporary of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and the other founders of this country. She was living before this country and yet come into existence as a free government, and watched it pass safely through three wars. She had a perfect recollection of the happenings of 1812, and the Civil War seemed of recent date to her. Her mother was one of the first Negro women to be brought to this country, and when Aunt Harriate, as every one called her, was born, Lord Cornwallis was being besieged at Yorktown, and shortly after her birth he surrendered to General George Washington. She was almost three years of age when England surrendered all rights to the American colonies by signing the treaty of peace which closed the revolutionary war. She was 31 years old at the time of the war of 1812. And at the conclusion of the civil war she was 84 years old. Political Job at $1,000 a Year. ATLANTA, July 27.-Mr. Stewart A.

It is difficult to discern in the context now going ahead at a rather lively pace in the Republican organization for control of the County Committee at the opening primary election, any other than a question of individuality. If certain candidates win, it will be a victory for Lennell B. Quigg; if certain other candidates win, it will be a victory for Herbert Parsons; and, so far as we can observe, that is about all there is to it. The idea that Mr. Parsons represents President Roosevelt the President himself has repudiated. The idea that Mr. Quigg represents hostility to Governor Higgins, Mr. Quigg himself has repudiated. Unfortunately for Mr. Parsons, he is neither well nor widely known. Of his own achievement there is no record what-ever, except that he has served through one session of Congress, casting his vote as a Republican member. His father, a great lawyer, the attorney of the Sugar Trust, the deviser—as he himself testified in a Supreme Court action—of the modern scheme of trust organization, is and has always been a leading New York city Democrat. It is to Herbert Parsons's credit that he has removed himself from this environment, but that is hardly a test of his fitness for party leadership. Mr. Quigg, on the other hand, is known the country over. He was for three terms a Representative in Congress and he made himself felt in that body as no one else has ever succeeded in doing who went there as a Republican from New York City. He was for several years president of the New York County Committee; and the Republican organisation, especially as to its minor members, is held together today, in so far as patronage can hold together a party organisation, by the places which Mr. Quigg's industry and seal obtained. He has twice been chairman of Republican State Conventions; and of one of his addresses Senator Dewp publicly proclaimed in the convention next day that it was the strongest and most eloquent he ever listened to. Mr. Quigg has been three times a member of Republican National Conventions, and personally wrote the platform upon which McKinley and Roosevelt were presented to the people. This is that part of Mr. Quigg's record which appeals to Republicans generally. There is another part which ought to appeal particularly to Afro-Americans. He has been a life long Republican. He has always advocated equality of civil rights and the brotherhood of man; and he showed what he meant by this when, as editor of The New York Press, be pounded the Cleveland Administration and the government of France into the release from prison of Mr. Thomas L. Waller, unjustly confined. His political influence, moreover has been exerted in scores of cases for the advancement of Afro-Americans, and with the success that attends the efforts generally of an earnest, energetic and able man. The ACE, therefore, must cast its influence in this contest in behalf of Mr. Quigg and of those candidacies which will represent his return to a more active participation in public affairs. Bryan's Keynote. It is announced in startling headline that William Jennings Bryan will "strike a keynote" in the first blush of September days. He will sound it at Kannan City, it is said, after the big reception being planned for in New York on his return after his trip around the world has taken place. Mr. Bryan has announced that he wishes no tainted money to get into his reception. We shall wait for the keynote. The Democratic party needs a keynote, and needs it badly, and we do not believe that Mr. Bryan can sound one that will supply the thing needful and fire the American heart at the same time. The American people have taken the size of Mr. Bryan in two elections when he was a candidate for the Presidency, and in one in which he was a star talker and helped to smash the hopes of Judge Parker, a good man attached to a bad party, who has never understood why he was so badly whipped by Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Bryan may be the candidate of the Democratic party for President in 1908, but he will never be President, we believe. He is not built right, and the voters of the country have no faith in him or the Democratic party. But let him sound his keynote; we are listening. --- The Southern Poor White Man. We reproduce in another column of THE AOK-to-day from The Southern Amer- editorial article on the poor white moral article on the poor white South which is mighty inter- real Union was organized and preempted by the slaveholders—who dominated the business, professional and political interests of the Southern States—but the battles were fought, lost, or won, by the poor white men of the South, who were the greatest sufferers by the war and by the devastations of it and by the fearful results entailed upon the South by it. They did not seem to understand that this had been the real condition of affairs, that they had been used to pull the chessmen out of the fire for the alleged aristocrats of the South, who despised them, and who despise them now, while using them to advance their interests. When the war was over, when they had been used to advance the interests of the alleged Southern aristocrats, when they were poor in purse and broken in spirit, they could not understand that the war freed them as it did the black slave, and so allowed themselves to be used again by the alleged aristocrats to destroy the fruits of freedom and free labor and the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. But they destroyed at the same time their own political rights. The primary and poll-tax laws enacted this, which the grandfather chuse could not prevent. For instance, while there are 232,000 white voters in Alabama only 65,000 of them vote. Why? The poll-tax and the educational qualification intended to disfranchise black men disfranchise white men as well. The poor white man and the poor black man must hang together or they will hang separately. Now, the main question is, can the Southern poor white man be made to see that he has been and is being used to destroy his own interests to advance those of the alleged aristocrats—the partisan office-holding oligarchs, the demagogical marpolta? The Southern American has started out to solve this problem, to answer this question, and in its effort it deserves the encouragement of every loyal American. The Dear, Illusive Moon. The passing of the dear, illusive Moon, "A Record of the Darker Races, owned by W. E. Burghardt DuBois, the editor, Atlanta, Ga.," would appear to indicate that "the Darker Races," not responsive to the sort of "record" that Dr. DuBois gave them. It would also indicate that the dear Niagara Movement people are criminally short of reverence for their chief spokesman and refused to furnish the needful "subduity," to keep The Moon in the pleasing act of circulating once a week. What they wanted to furnish and did furnish and do furnish and will furnish when and where and in what volume it may be desired is a framed brand of hot air, warranted to create, confusion. We extend our sympathy to the editor in the necessity which forced him to suspend the newspaper, despite his brave plea for Wall street subsidy, and as a guaranty, of interest in him and his well-doing we hereby inform him that if he will send his subscription lists we will fill-out the unexplored term of all of his subscribers without any cost to him; and, if he has "thinks," he can send them to us and THE Ace will act 'em. "Southern Chivalry." There is a man living in the city of New York who has convictions so at variance with those, which his follow pale-faced compatriots have dared for a great many years to think about that we are simply astonished to find some of them in The New York Sun. Now, read what follows and share with us our astonishment: It seems to me that it is about time for somebody to explode this "Southern obliviousness" with a real grilled through the South knows the actual conditions as they exist there—murders "to burn," and a low order of civilization. You hear the expression nowadays, "Oh, he is a Southern gentleman," etc., until it grows throuse. Whenever the band plays "Dixie," applause follows, although these idiots remain silent when the same band plays the Star Spangled Banner, the occasion to speak some to New Orleans last summer, and getting aboard a trolley car found five persons standing up, and these five were women. The Northern gentleman has suffered by a wrong comparison long enough. The two characters in "The Crisis" should be brought out more forcibly. We dare say that the truth expressed by this New Yorker will raise a great big storm, if those concerning whom he speaks with such brutal frankness are not wise enough to bottle up their wrath and indignation. Slavery and the landed system maintained by it may have produced a brand of "Southern chivalry," concerning which American fiction has been full since the War, but it was a brand not worth preserving, and which has not been preserved. In its highest development it was "a low order of civilization," and is to-day low, coarse-grained, loud, insolently self-conscious and assertive, with a vulgarity which only ignorance could produce. Any man travelling in the Southern States will find this to be true in every particular. Senator Tillman of South Carolina, Jefferson Davin of Arkansas, James K. Vardaman of Mississippi, and even John Sharp Williams—these men represent in public life the low standard of Southern chivalry; and where we find such a low standard at the top of the Southern social and political heap what should or could we expect at the bottom of it? The Sun's correspondent has hinted at it, and it is to be hoped, that a discussion of it will bring out all the facts. There are plenty of white men in the Southern States who are as much gentlemen as can be found anywhere, but the social and political life of the section is dominated by very low standards. Vulnerability—impudent insecurity and loud coarseness in public places—forces itself upon the traveller at every turn and keeps him in a perpetual state of uneasiness. If a correct idea of "Southern chivalry" as it exists to date can be given to the American people through popular discussion a better understanding of the al- loud. Southern problems will be gut, insolent, and help to clear the atmosphere of a lot of humbug. Yes; turn the light of discussion on "Southern chivalry," the thing the people of the country have heard so much about and about which they know so little. Barred Out of the Ocean The hotel proprietors controlling the bathing privileges on the ocean front at Atlantic City, have issued an appeal to their employee, who are most Afro-American; to keep off the beach and out of the surf, because their presence is offensive to patrons from a large section of the country. The Atlantic City Sunday Gazette has the following illuminating and insolent editorial on the subject: No colored bathers where there are white bathers. Southern visitors, who are increasing, demanded this of the hotel man, and they have formed a league for their own protection. There will be protest from the colored element, but the resort is catering to the white patrons. The colored man dependent upon white bathers living in the white man may it is necessary for the colored man to join him in improving business by a little soft denial, he should promptly agree to the request. For years the colored bather has been an issue on the ocean front. Histories that he was not wanted were of little consequence. Until the Southerner arrived, the hotel men were disinclined to force an employee to work in the criminal. When it reached the issue of dollars, the hotel man acted. He has not asked anything unreasonable. He has been fair in his request. Sections of the ocean have been set aside for the colored bather. Let him keep to them. He should not force himself where he is not wanted. When he does, he raises friction and trouble. The new move has the approval of the hotel man. The colored man should abide by a decision which has such force of public sentiment behind it as this move has. The colored man wants to be reasonable. The hotel man have hinted that there would be fewer colored employees in the hotels if they failed to heed the request made. They are defending their interests and the capital they have invested. The colored man has insisted that he should be the hotel man have. That order is going to stick, and if a contest is necessary to enforce it, there will be no retreat on the part of the hotel man. Certainly the onlier is going "to stick," because the people who issued it control the ocean front in question and employ most of the help complained of; but the people who control the ocean front and who defer to the _____ "Southern visitors," who demand it are cowards all, who deserve to be kicked and shunned by decent Americans for their cowardice. Wherever "the Southern visitor" or viper appears in public places, he not only insists upon dictate what he pays for but wants to dictate the right of others to have what they pay for. And the cowardly Northern money-hunter bows to the injustice and cowardice of it! We never meet a "Southern visitor," or viper, with his arrogance and insolence, without feeling like kicking him. But who is to be blamed for the Atlantic City situation? White men? Not a bit of it. As long as ten years ago the writer foresee what was coming and urged our capitalists then at Atlantic City to buy a part of the ocean front, which was then dirt cheap, and they said they would think about it. Perhaps they are thinking about it still. They can't buy any ocean front now. Along the whole Atlantic ocean front in New Jersey we have the same condition that has been inaugurated at Atlantic City, but the fault is not in white men, but in black men, who neglected to buy when they could. The Power of Money. It is encouraging to find that there is the greatest interest being manifested throughout the States of the Union in the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, at Atlanta, the last of August. No other agency has done more to stimulate the business activity of the race than the Business League. Everywhere that one can go, especially in the Southern States, this activity is pleasingly noticeable. The number of our banks is steadily increasing, and the older ones are growing in financial strength and popular favor. The industrial and business efforts of the race are to be the redemption of it from the slough of civil and political dispond into which it has fallen. Men who have money and keep it where it is available for general investment purposes; men who have jobs to give and who are not always hunting for jobs, will not need to ask men to respect and trust them. The Jews are in this respect the best examples, both in Europe and America, of the power of industrial and business worth to blunt the keen edge of injustice based upon race and color. The Georgia State Fair. The Georgia State Colored Agricultural and Industrial Association, of which Major R. R. Wright is president, will hold their first State Faig at Macon, November 12 and 10, inclusive. Some of the best and strongest Afro-Americans of Georgia are officers of the association. With the strong constituency they have to rely upon to make the fair a creditable and successful one, it is difficult to see other than great advantage to result from it. It is worth noting that the Macon City council has granted to the association the use of the Central City. Park, with all of the buildings on the grounds, free of charge. These agricultural and industrial fairs by Afro Americans are worthy, of all encouragement. They show to the people at large what the industrious and thrifty members of the race are doing. They capitulate the element of the race which seldom figures in the newspapers, but which is doing more than any other influence to make character and honorable place in American life for the Afro-American people. Such fairs have been held in the past in North Carolina, Kentucky and equal Southern States. There should be more of them held. They do a great deal of good. They help among other things, to neutralize the bad impression which the looting, vicious element makes upon the public mind. A Fatal Blunder. Now that the Afro-American people have come to their names, they are beginning to realize their mistakes in opposing the Warrior Amendment to the Railway Rate Bill. This amendment provided that all inter-State passengers should have equal accommodations on all common carriers. Had this amendment been adopted it would have meant that the sleeping-car company in Georgia would have been compelled to provide sleeping cars for the Afro-American as well as in Texas and in other places where there are no such restrictions. The race has permitted itself to be led astray by the little band of Boston Impracticables, otherwise known as the Niagara Movers, who know absolutely nothing about the conditions in the South. Senator Warner, Ex-Senator Blair and other friends who worked for this measure became thoroughly disgusted at the attitude of the gang in Boston who worked for its defeat. The race suffered itself to be hoodwinked by Monroe Trotter on the ground that the railroads could introduce "Jim Crow" cars in Massachusetts, a purely ignorant conclusion. Over against this we have a condition in the South which our people are compelled to face every day. The plain truth is that certain States have made separate car laws and enforce them. If they are unconstitutional, it is our business to have the fact established by prosecution in the Federal Courts. Have we done so? While the separate car laws are a fact the Warner Amendment would have compelled the railroads to furnish equal accommodation for all passengers. They do not and need not do so now. The Real Object of the Niagara Movement. A great many people do not understand what the Niagara Movement stands for. Each day it becomes apparent that the real object of it is to oppose Booker T. Washington and to tear down his work. The Niagara Movement had its origin in the Boston Church Riots. The same people who led these riots are the same people who are leaders in the Niagara Movement. If any one has the least doubt as to the purpose of this movement he has only to read the organ of the movement, published in Boston. There is nothing constructive suggested in the Niagara Movement. Every move it makes is in the direction of tearing down some individual or some constructive force. Just now, when all the forces of the race are coming together in the effort toward uplifting and constructive work this is the only organization we have which is endeavoring to create confusion and destruction. --- --- Mr. William Randolph Heart continues to be a thorn in the side of the New York Democracy. It is highly probable that Mr. William Randolph Heart is also a thorn in the side of himself, and we imagine that he must often be very tired. Tom E. Watson, of Georgia, who has been a Populist high-mouther for a long time, and has endeared to be a political party all by himself, has decided to return to the Democratic party and to support Hoke Smith and the faction he stands for in the race for the nomination for Governor of Georgia, instead of Clark Howell, the editor of the Democratic newspaper very natural that Tom Watson in sneaking back into the Democratic party of Georgia, should array himself with the worst of the two factions. Hoke Smith made a fine reputation for liberal statesmanship as Secretary of the Interior under President Cleveland, but in his aspirations to the Governor of Georgia he has taken and maintained the attitude of a small demagogue, raising the race hatred issue and at that, when there was no need of that hatred, he has taken the circumstances, the decent Democracy of Georgia, and he should win the nomination. He should congratulate himself that Tom Watson has decided to support Hoke Smith and unreconstructed bourbonism. Ransom's Bcn. In Cleveland The New England conference of the A.M. M. k. church has returned Rep. R. C Ransom to the pastorate of Charles street church, Boston, thus apparently clearing him of the charge of drunkenness on his recent unfortunate southern trip. Trix New York Azz designates the action of the conference as a "whitewash" of Ransom. There are those in Cleveland and Chicago who feel the same way about it. Dutiful Sons to Ugrateful Parent. From The Richmond Planet. The intrepid bravery of the colored troops has again been demonstrated and yet the prejudice against them still exists. In a fight with the Filipinos recently, despite the fact that the contagulatory was commanded by Lieutenant Williama, assisted by Lieutenant Worwich, white, the death list shown than twelve were alone. The colored troops in the 24th Infantry, ordered to the scene and the result is that of the enemy are reported killed and wounded and only one of the constables wounded. When it comes to rendering service, the colored troops can be rallied upon. From the Atlanta Independent. The one thing that has operated to destroy the city is DuBois might have been primarily to the race and his country is race leadership. To lead somebody has been his dream and he has fretten inclemently because the people, have failed to discover in him what he sees in himself. Atlanta is the professor's home and has been for the past many years. Outside of the school room among his pupils he has no standing in the community. His neighbors feel that they are the best judges of his affairs and he does believe Mr. DuBois also any higher in the National life than the estimate placed upon his usefulness as a man by his neighbors. Ordinarily we would not pay any more attention to the professor than we would to any other alien, but inasmuch as he is a standing candidate for race leadership, and objects to Mr. Washington's leadership, we feel that the limelight should be turned upon what the limelight should be turned upon the community where he lives. We feel that the people have to work with the education and for who organised the Niagara movement for the purpose of taking charge of the polls in the States. In Atlanta, Mr. DuBois is not identified with any church, society or any movement with the negro men and women for the uplift of the race. The only thing he does is to teach school and does not of george require his tax. The laws of george contribute every male citizen twenty-one years of age to pay poll tax, and this dollar goes to education and education and during many midwife he has not paid one dollar in his middeath he has not paid one dollar in this fund. We have seen the records of the county has been here and he has not even registered or qualified to vote. Yet he is the head of the headless movement which charges other people $5 per annum to register through it. This same man led in the organisation of the equal rights convention in February, 1006, yet he has never registered, or paid him poll tax, and this man stands in a place practically disfranchised under the laws of Georgia. Not disfranchised by reason of cunningly designed constitutional amendments, but by reason of downright ignorance of the basic principles of American manhood. Here is a man organizing suffrage leagues for his State and has no voice in its government by reason of his own conduct. We at least feel that the man who frets and rants about "Jim-Crow" regulations ought to at least be a voter. He ought to at least be a voter. He ought to at least be a voter. He ought to not live in open violation of the basic principles of citizenship. Professor W. E. B. DuBois is not a citizen of the United States, he is an alien. FARCE OF "EQUAL TREATMENT." Experience of a Bishop on Sea Board Air Line. From The Christian Recorder. It is left to the railroads operating in the South through their officers, local and general, to win greater patronage and respect than they do in many instances from their colored patrons. An instance furnished by the Sea Board Air Line, on its new line from Birmingham to Atlanta, prompts this paper to make the observation noted. A high church dignitary of the race took passage over this new-line for the North on July 10, at six in the mornings, after having been assured by its city representative that his meals and decent treatment would be forthcoming. It is to be reinstated that the good Bishop referred to was subjected to the most humiliating experience of his life. He was placed in the "Jim Crow" end of a coach divided into a one-and-baggage and Negro compartment. He was, literally smoked out by white men in the limited quarters assigned members of his race. Of course members of his race but was all the good it did. One conductor saw that the law was observed during his run from Atlanta to Hamlet, but the other conductors cared no more for the law, the rights of this representative gentleman, or the equity of making an honest return for money paid, than the proverbial crow cares for Sunday. The Sea Board Air Line long enforced the reputation of being a road given to creditable treatment of colored people, but we fear that such has become a thing of the past. If such is the case we shall advise the thousands of our church and people who contemplate a trip to Norfolk during the general conference or to the Jamestown Exposition to give the Sea Board Air Line a wide berth. MANY THANKS. From The Philadelphia Tribune. Editor Tom Fortune is making a fine paper of The New York Age. We are glad to note its up-to-date collection of news and general make-up. Editor Fortune doubts shares in the views of The Tribune, that colored men own it. It is not to build on the people that we command the people's support. People used to say that there was nothing in papers published by colored men, but Editor Fortune is knocking such assertions into sutherneens. Keep it up. Brother Fortune. The Tribune will try to keep close behind you. From The Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. We note with pleasure that The New York Age has in its last two issues been made much larger and better in every save editorially and together with the new arrangement of their news matter and other articles, presents a first-class example of what good Negro or any other kind of journalism should be. We hope other Negro newspapers will note the example and become inspired or encouraged thereby. From The Houston (PX). Witness.

THE WHITE MAN'S BURBEN. London Which Southern Olmertchy Has Shouldered Upon Poor Whiten. From The Southern American. Much is being said and written of "the white man's burden." In the meantime there is a short appeal that should be made for the poor white of Alabama and the South. Of all the politically abused and politically minced man of this Nation the poor white man, of this State especially, has had the worst and bitter end. The poor man, who didn't own a slave, was canoed, coorosed and envirated into a bloody civil war. This war was precipitated by the political hot-hands of the self-interested slave-holding clan. This gang of bondage masters were looking out acily for self, both in finance and political integrity. That is all there is to it. The slave-holding regime is to drag the South along over the prejudice to which the slave-holding regime was mainly swinging the really disinterested and the helpless. It is history, too, that the slave-owning political aristocracy didn't want to quit the futile strife battle, even when the brave men of the South were merely being sacrificed like lamb brought before the altar! The poor whites gave their lives, thousands of them, to the slave-holding Democratic cause. Those whom God spared to live, many of them, came home in lageance and want. The young men were fightless battlehorses, might have been reading books. After the truce was closed, facing the conquest for bread, which followed the battles of blood, there was no time, then, to acquire an education. Yet, withal this thrilling truth, you, yes, you, the poor white man in the valleys and on the hills of Alabama, have been made the subject of political machinations and political proscriptions, of which the underlying motive is fraught with ingratitude and baseness as black as hell itself. This poll tax provision of the machine Democratic State government's new State constitution was conceived and designed for you, poor, white man of the mountains, hills and valleys, and had been used as a spirit of independence and you had shown a disposition of revolt against the old machine! This voluntary payment, poll tax clause tran was set for you. It was bad enough for the poor white, who didn't need even a certificate to get in the civil war, to have to trot after the Democracy in order to secure a pam for voting. It is worse, it is an informal shame, for the machine Democratic government of this State to make a bid of $1.50 a head to the poor white man not to vote! Those perpetrating this outrage are the peculiar conditions, this State; but the latter and inferior will not be imputed by The Southern Americans to the State. The whole people, the State, should not have this act of petty tyrants of a regime, usurping the powers of State, charged to them. This chicamery, this deceit, this fraud, is the work of the oligarchy. This condition will not always remain so. Righteous public sentiment will upturn, overwhelm and bury this arrogant oligarchy—that is so regardless of every consideration of popular rights. It is much more effort being exerted by leaders of every faction of the Democracy, has there been such a dearth of interest on the part of the rural people. The alternate "candidates for candidate" to the Senatorial succession, the sixteen to one "liucentana for Governor," together with the two candidates for Governor, all of them beating the Democratic tom-ot, are practically unnoticed by the country populace. The plain people have simply an acquaintance with the old gang. They have heard of it before, they have forgiven it in the record of just a few years, in the record of Koe and Junges. The machine Democracy of fraud then, of aggression now, is one of the burdens that the poor white of Alabama will, and must, inevitably unload. This apparent apathy and indifference is but a form of expression of disgust. It is a manifestation of a want of confidence. The phases and mazes of the Democracy of to-day fail to set well with the realities of the situation to which the public affairs are degenerating, dwindling and simmering into the hands of a few don't appeal to the masses. The common people know that it was by a course of fraud, cunning and manipulation that it has come to where about 65,000 votes are polled for a State election there; then 20,000 whites plone of voting age in Alabama! There is always a lull and quiet before the storm. That old "dimmykry" cry of "nigger" will not be heard when the righteous wrath of the populace finally hinders forth. This day is coming, too, and the people are such as piling it on too high. There can be such a thing as an end even to the aggression of an oligarchy. The honest man behind the plow, the man who lives the simple life, this is the man the Bourbon Democratic ax has cut asunder from his rights. The party chicacery and the political manipulations of the masses go beyond the pale of his conception of Democracy and what is a "square deal." There is going to be a restoring of their own to the common people. An act of this kind is out of harmony, too, with the machine Democracy of this State. That "white man's burdge" in Alabama, ring ruled and corporation ridden, has not be relieved of the regime has succeed. A house cleaning coming in of a new party administration, will have to do the work for the people. Met Hfm Only Vicariously. Dear Hfm. A. D. Griffin, editor of The Portland (Ore.) New Age was in Chicago last week on route East, where he joined his old schoolmate, T. Thomas Fortune, of the "old age" commonly called Trug New York. Griffin spent several days in Chicago, where he hosts friends and found time to prep in on the Conservator. Perhaps a Typical Case. In Ohio, not many years ago, a young child told a horrible tale of mistreatment a Negro farm band. The man was created and barely saved from lynching before the child was brought to acknowledge that her mother had compelled her to tell the story, which was entirely withheld. Then the Negro band the Negro a considerable amount in back wages and had derived this plan to get him set out of the way. To the Editor of The New York Times: The recent article in The Washington Times, entitled "Belmont Colony Arms White," prompts me to offer a conservative, though hasty, appeal to the citizens of Bethlehem, Friendship Heilgen, Somerset, Drummond and neighborhood who are so violently disturbed over the contemplated efforts of some ambitions suburbanites to get home near Washington. I think it very probable that the element among the Archaeomigrants of the District that is endeavoring to buy suburban homes is that they have "a constant monosit to the peace and security" or "the destruction of the happiness of any human," and that the white man of that particular locality ought to have a good feeling of fellowship, working his contemporary suburbanities God-speed, and the best that any locality in Washington offers it. You know Burns said: To make a happy inside crime To wee and wife— That's the true path, and sublime, Of human lith. I am not an Afro-American, but an American. I have met all classes and conditions of men, and I have found among the so-called "Negroes" or "colored people" of this city and of this country scholars, humanitarians, altruists and reformers far superior to some of my white colleagues, progressive, loyal and prominent citizens — refined, cultured, peace loving and good neighborly citizens toward members of their community. The uplifting of a down-trodden race is a topic absorbing the greatest mids and men of both the colored and the white races to-day. Peace conferences, peace and peace, and peace, peace author, in short, "peace will be the source of strife, persecution, enlightenment and progress." The Ku Klux Clan warned, expelled, whipped or murdered persons obnoxious to it, and long overawed the Negroes, but was finally broken up by United States military forces. Toward a miscreant we are as lenient as possible, running a risk in the culprit's favor of his having enough self-control left to lift himself out of the slough of degradation above another downfall; if he is not strong enough to do so, he will be forced from his office warrants it. It is put out of this existence, in order to protect society at large from a similar deed; but when law-abiding citizens, no doubt people of culture and refinement, of unequaled morals and tact, I imagine that these people who desire to "establish a first-class suburb, where colored people of Washington who can afford to do so may build and own their own homes," are of this advanced type—plan homesteads. in a suburb with the view to furthering butter and no doubt healthier as well as more agreeable quarters for their families, and in the city where they behave the citizens of Bethesda, Friendship Heights, Somerset, Drummond and neighborhood to make such hostile assertions. Thoughtless and hasty remarks often arouse antagonism and foster a feeling of rebellion. The small boy is full of them. We are trying to help the children of this country to overcome strong antipathies, sensationalism and exaggerated ideas of any situation—there is too great a tendency in our children to be antipathies, and the immigration list is swelling, and we tolerate tolerance along the line of reform when a reputable thing is at stake. Will there be a wonder if the incoming man, the small boy of Bethesda, Friendship Heights and neighborhood will be playing "Ku Klux" and "Whitecap," and will no doubt bear against every Afro-American man, woman and child who may be in his neighborhood a grudge, and in his apuples, glance from under his white coat, and in his dark skin, hardly knowing why he does it? "Just doing what papa and mamma have done," he may say! The citizens of Bethesda, Friendship Heights, Somerset and Drummond have absolutely no conception of what the refined and cultured person who is classed as an "colored" has to endure socially. If the citizens of Bethesda, Friendship Heights and Drummond have been assured that a colony of cutthroats, pickpockets and persons of questionable morals and illiterate standing are planning to buy homes in the neighboring suburb, Belmont, with a deep-seated desire and intention to make the Bethesda and neighboring homes "insecure and place their families in" constructive and prosperous, then I would sanction and build another Washingtonian, that the Friendship people and their neighbors should buy every foot of ground to be bought in Belmont. There are—if current remarks and gossip can be relied on—people who possess enormous amounts of money and land in and about the disturbed locality who naturally will want to protect their precious and about the disturbed locality who naturally will want to protect their precious and about the disturbed locality but the imposter and the lawless citizen are contemplated contemporary suburbanite of Belmont is positively an undesirable citizen, morally and socially. I think there is no need for the uncomfortable and disturbed feeling of the citizens of Bethea, Friendship Heights, Soneret, Drummond and that neighborhood. HOPE H. GIRARD, Washington, D. C., July 27, 1908. Twisting History for Southern School When a Russian reader sees a page blacked out by the censor he knows by that sign that he is deprived of truth. An American reader is treated more insidiously. For him often truth is skilfully adulterated. A text-book for public schools, for example, was adorned with a picture of the cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born; for the Southern trade, the label which identified the picture with Lincoln was removed.

South Always Near from Dynamite Explosions and Caving in of Tunnels. Each of the great mines has its several compounds where the Kaffira are imprisoned. These are enclosures with walls sufficiently high to prevent escape, and around the walls is a stretch of roofing sufficient to prevent the inmates from falling. The walls are plucked up by confederates. In the early days the Kaffira used to throw diamonds over the walls in tin cans, so that their wives or friends might come and pick them up. When the Kaffira go to Kimberley from their tribes they agree to submit to imprisonment. The shortest period is three months, but there are many who have been in the area for two or three years. Those who go underground, are for the most part, drillers. They take a chisel and a hammer and drill holes in the hard, rocky ore, called blue ground, in which the diamonds are invariably imbedded. These holes are for blasting the rock and reducing it (a crushed state). Tons of dynamite and explosives make it no pleasant task to remain underground after the explosions. --- At the Kimberley mine there are 1,500 affirms who work underground; the Deers mine has 3,000; the Bultfontein line has 3,000; the Du Toit Pine mine is 3,000, and the Wesselton mine has 1,000. In addition there are several lots of white men, some of them mines, some of them engineers, some drillers, and some in charge of moving the ore out of the mines. The work never ceases. It goes on all night and all day Sunday. The first step in the mining is drilling the holes for the blasting. Then the blanks are touched off, and the crushed blueground is conveyed to the shaft of the mine, which is 1,400 feet away from the tunnels where the mining is actually done.

Laing Williams in The A. M. E. Church Review. At the close of the World's Colonial exposition at Chicago in the fall of 1803, Frederick Dolglass, who represented the Haytian Government as its commissioner, was urgently invited by the people from all sections of the country to deliver addresses. People who had not heard him for nearly a half century, and the thousands who had heard him on all sorts of occasions during the life of the exposition, were alike eager to hear the man who had no equal in forensic power. During the whole of those interesting six months on the exposition grounds he was the popular hero. He was wonderfully interesting both in books and in letters to the public. Though past seventy years, he seemed to be rejuvenated by the glorious panorama of the civilized world so gloriously epitomized on the shores of Lake Michigan. Except for his whitened hair, there was nothing to suggest that he was a battle-scarred hero of more than fifty years of attenuous warfare for the rights of men. His step was alert and strong. His carriage was as erect as an army officer, his manners and magnificent as it was in the 50s. To the credit of all classes of people who visited the Fair Grounds, Mr. Donglass was favored, honored and sought after more than any other man. On every occasion or function, where it was fitting for the elect to be, Mr. Donglass was an honored guest. Not only on the great occasions was the most observed of gregarious and fascinating men, but he generously went whenever and where ever called by his own people either at their churches or other public gatherings. At the close of the expedition, Mr. Donglass did not seem to be fatigued or any way worn out by the six months of participation in all the large and festive and congresses of the He.

National capital for rent and quit his generous impulse to serve, was stronger than his inclination the poetic quietude of his of the Western States who also to make them a visit address. Then again impressed by a sense of adow over his buoyant the marvellous reve- into a huge bucket, or "kip," and this, fastened to a great cable, is rapidly drawn out of the mine by powerful engines. Such diamonds as have been accidentally found have been washed from placer beds beside some river. The mining process is the modern way of finding diamonds. Thousands of men, mostly Negroes, with no higher aim in life than to earn $1.20 a day, are porchers drilling with a chisel and hammer. The spirit of adventure has been eliminated by the stupendous devices of the mechanical engineer. The task of separating the diamonds from the blueground requires months. From the shaft the ore is conveyed to what are called the "floor"—great stretches of ground cleaned off like a tennis court. The ore is taken there in trucks or cars, which are fastened ten feet apart to an endless cable, propelled by the power from the engine room. Each floor is four hundred feet square, but their combined territory covers about one-third of the mine along, hauling "floor" which extend five miles. These "floor" are nothing more than dumping grounds. Upon their smooth surface is spread the blueground to a depth of about ten inches. Being very susceptible to the action of air and water, the blueground disintegrates after being exposed several months, and in the crumbling such indestructible crystals as diamonds or garnets are released. This is facilitated by harrowing the ore after it has been exposed six months and is beginning to become pulverized. The harrowing is done by steam ploughs drawn back and forth over the ground that is not decomposed of the blueground that is taken to the crushing machine, where it is pulverized. All the pulverized blueground, is taken to the pulsator, or separating rooms. The quarters where the separating is done contain large washing apparatus and an inclined plane covered with a coating of a thick, tallowy substance. First, the pulverised blueground is washed thoroughly in huge tubes or tanks. The water dissolves the coating and is then applied to brittle crystals and coarse sand. This coarse matter is poured over the inclined plane, or pulsator. In descending the plane the dirt and gravel pass on to the lower end, and the diamonds become imbedded in the tallowy coating. From ninety-eight to ninety-nine per cent of the precious stones are thus entrapped, the diamonds often burying themselves in the tallowy coating. The tallowy stuff is scraped off, placed in a caldron and melted. Becoming thin and oily under heat, it is poured off, and lations of human progress as shown in the expedition, was the growing prevalence of lynching and the seeming lack of a sense of horror on the part of the people of all the country. It was from a strong sense of duty then, that he disregarded the best and home recreation and joy of lynching in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri. The itinerary of his lecture tour of the great Doulgass included the cities of Dos Moines and Atlantic, in Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; and Springfield, Mo. The writer of this sketch accompanied Mr. Doulgass on this last tour and had a rare opportunity of knowing how intensely he theorized that the growing philology that seemed to have the effect of making his people outlaws. For several weeks before he started he studied, brooded and worked over this question. His address must have been rewritten at least a half dozen times. A much interlinked copy of this great speech of Mr. Doulgass on "Lynching" is preserved by the writer. The whole argument and philosophy of the question of anti-lynching seema to be the same as that of the viger and trenchant power of his many wonderful addresses delivered during the anti-slavery conflict. It scarcely need be said that at each of these places mentioned Mr. Douglas was received with every mark of high appreciation. His audiences were of a kind that no other colored man at that time could command. He spoke out with such confidence and fierce when dealing with the lynching habit that people were visibly moved under the spell of his hot indignation. At Omaha the Governor of the State and other prominent citizens were on the platform. At the conclusion of Mr. Douglas' address the Governor rose and in behalf of his race complained that the distinguished orator had in his arrangement of the American people. The fact is, the address went straight to the conscience of the audience and disturbed those who would claim a sort of immunity from blame because of their distance from the scenes of brutality. How accurately did he prophesy that in a few years lynching in the Northern States would be prevented from Mississippi! How that baleful prophecy has been fulfilled we can all bear sorrowful testimony. The climax of demonstrations showing the high esteem in which Mr. Douglas was held came at the last place he spoke in the West, Springfield, Missouri. In the light of recent disgraceful events in this city, the honora heaped upon him and his outspoken denunciation of moblaw have a peculiar significance. When the train bearing Mr. Douglas reached Springfield he was quite amazed at the largeness and scowliness of the greetings he received from the crowd this Missouri town. The streets were thronged with people of all kinds and colors, flags and bunting were strung along the line of march, and shouts of acclaim and joy and pride marked every The De Beers Consolidated Mines, Limited, pays in a single year dividends to the amount of $18,975,000.

The Kafir with his chisel and hammer makes $1.20 a day. He is paid at the rate of one shilling for every foot he drills into the hard rock. Sometimes he drills the required five feet in three hours, but oftentimes it takes him the full eight hours of the shift. With this $1.20 he must support himself, for he has to buy his own food, clothing and cabin fur, and oftentimes he must several wives out on the veldt. A Kafir is always anxious to have as many wives as he can, for with these Kafir tribes wives are an evidence of one's wealth. The wives sometimes go to Kimberley while their husbands are in the compounds, and there live in quarters set aside for that purpose; but they are never permitted to enter the compounds. On pay day the wives flock to the gates of the great compounds and clamor for the pay of their husbands. They give their names to the gate to guard or the gate to enter the entered, and send within for the money. The money is sent outside by a guard. Many of the women carry to the gates a child or two strapped to their shoulders. The risk of life in the mines is great. What is known as a "mud rush" sometimes happens by the inrush of water from the surface. Rain water goes flooding down into the vast craters of the mines. In these craters lie various kinds of clay and other strata. This earth behaves like a rocky, wetting, and it often breaks through underlying beds and goes thundering into the tunnels of the mines. foot of the way from the depot to his hotel. He was by every mark of respect, esteem and interest, the guest of the whole city. It was, in fact, a holiday occasion, and it is doubtful if any colored man in the history of the South ever received such a welcome to a Southern community as did Mr. Douglas in October of 1881, leading hotels of the city an incident in itself unprecedented in a southern city. For several hours before the time for his address to the people of Springfield, he held a reception in the parlor of the hotel. It was interesting to watch the throng of leading citizens of a Southern town for them to forge everything except that they were in the presence, not of an ex-slave or a white man, or a colored man, but a real inany man with powers of mind and soul that made him indisputed master of the situation. Judges of the courts, prominent members of the bar, school teachers, leading merchants, bankers, lawyers, and judges of county and State, and ladies of fashion came, standing in a seemingly never-enduring line in order to shake hands with the great Douglass, betraying every mark of satisfaction and pride. It was truly a never-to-be forgotten scene by those who witnessed it and could appreciate the greatness of the man, who was a fine subject for an artist large enough of soul to take in the whole situation. When the hour came to speak, 'Mr. Douglass had an audience that taxed the reaching power of his remarkably penetrating voice. The audience was about equally divided between white and colored people. He was in fine trim in every way. He had already won the hearts of the people before he had said a word. When he was introduced and rose to speak he was greeted with an ovation, which for genuine heartedness I have never seen called or surpassed. The orator confessed that for the time he hewed he was not mindful that this was Miss auri. He was not mindful that some of his audience were white and some black. There was something superb in his pride of hearing and his splendid confidence in himself. The weight of seventy years of struggle, suffering and triumph bore lightly upon him. He faced the great audience with no shrieking from duty or fear for the effect of his words. He knew he could afford to be frank, truthful and courteous. The freedom of the man he heard could be the possession to what was in his innest soul. In truth, I was amassed at the way Mr. Douglas went at his audience, and I was equally amazed at the manner in which they received what he had to say. They laughed, they cried and they shouted in whatever way he arose them, irrespective of his color or his theme. An illustration of this defiant spirit is shown by his first words. After the applause that greeted him when he arose, he said, with deliberation and a sort of mock seriousness that could not be surpassed by the most finished actor: "I suppose that the first thing you want is to know what that I heard Mr. Douglas utter these words I was started and wondered if he appreciated the import of what he said. The white portion of his audience looked in wonderment at each other, and I could read in the faces of HOW THE WARNER-FORAKER AMENDMENT WAS KILLED By KELLY MILLER and A. H. GAMER On the first of February last, at the suggestion of the Committee of Twelve, we undertook to watch the progress of the Railroad Rate bill then on its passage through Congress with a view to prevent the insertion of provisions prejudicial to the travelling rights of the colored race. Threats to this effect had already been made in the Senate committee, and there was simple ground for apprehension and alarm. There was no hope nor expectation of affirmative legislation in the present state of public feeling, and our chief aim was to preserve existing rights under the Constitution and the common law. We carefully considered, expedience, and the potential for the possible amendments at the proper structure, not so much with hope of enactment, but as a strategic maneuver in defeating hostile legislation. for the cause of mediation, and an amendment explanatory letter: Hon J. B. Pekerak. Your amendment in it appeared in The Thurday, the 12th ferried with quite a people, thinking more in its present harm rather than part of the amendments is good, and the tittle we carefully considered, expedience, and the potential for the possible amendments at the proper structure, not so much with hope of enactment, but as a strategic maneuver in defeating hostile legislation. We first waited upon Senator Dollier, the author of the Rate bill on the Senate side, who assured us against the likelihood of any such provision as we apprehended. We urged him as a friend of humanity to see to it that this bill was shaped in harmony with the American principle of the equality of all men before the law. We also called upon Senator Foraker at his residence, but were unable to see him because of a social engagement. It was well known that Senator Foraker would be an influential factor in shaping the proposed rate legislation. We were fortunate in electing the sympathy and cordial assistance of ex-Senator Henry W. Blair, through whose invaluable aid we were enabled to keep watch upon every step in the course of the legislation, and shades of opinion concerning it. Senator Blair lent to our cause his ripe experience, legislative knowledge and humanitarian instinct. About the first of March the Constitution League met in Philadelphia and appointed a committee consisting of George H. White, Gen. Tremaine, William A. Sinclair, A. B. Humphrey and Archibald Miller all distinguished by illegal all distinctions in inter-State passenger traffic. Mr. Grimke was chairman of this meeting, and as such added the name of Kelly Miller to the committee, who, with himself and Mr. White, constituted the local working force at the National Capital. Shortly after its appointment this committee waited on Senator Crane of Massachusetts and Senator Foraker of Ohio, who advised that he had already introduced himself to the committee on Inter-State Commerce, and although it had there failed of consideration, that he would reintroduce it in open Senate. With whom Senator Foraker took counsel or of whom he sought advice and suggestion in the formulation of his amendment we have neither the slightest knowledge nor interest. At the time of this interview, after the resolution of the committee to him in positive terms that what was desired was a clear-cut amendment, making all race distinction illegal. The following amendment by enator Foraker was offered in open Senate and printed in The Congressional Record of April 12: That no carrier engaged in interstate commerce shall, directly or indirectly, by other device, charge, demand, collect, or receive from any person a greater or less compensation for interstate transportation collects or receives from any other per- some of his colored auditors a sense of fear and humiliation. Mr. Doughas alone was cool and sure of himself. After a moment's pause, he wont on: "You see it was this way. I wanted to be perfectly fair to both races, so my first wife was the color of my mother, and my second wife was the color of my father." This unexpected humorous allusion to his second marriage changed the feeling of pain from doubt and fear to怕惊 from unease and apathy. The manner and effect of this introduction can strongly be conceived in cold type and twelve years after its occurrence. It had all the effect of taking his audience into his most sacred confidence, and after doing so he felt perfectly safe to entrust them with the uttermost of his feelings on the questions about which Southern audiences are generally intolerant of plain speech. At the conclusion of his masterful address, in which he frankly told the colored people of their faults, as well as their rights, and in which he challenged the love of justice in the hearts of all, he was the recipient of the heartiest congratulations from both races. They wisest and his championship of the rights of men were the most altruising they had ever heard or felt. It stirs the heart with pride to recall these last days of active service of Frederick Douglas. As great as he was by right of achievement and in the estimation of all the country, there was something more than charming in the purely human side of his nature. With all his right to be proud of himself, he yet was delightfully simple and free from all affectation. It was possible at all times to feel at home and near to him. He was lovable, compassionate and friend. Though his company was with questions and associate with high perceptions, he had a most happy way of entering into the commonplace interests of even the humblest person. It was no unusual thing to see him at a railroad station seek out some colored man, woman or child and greet them as if they had been old acquaintances. He always had a sympathetic interest in those whom we are accustomed to call common colored people. In greeting them he would tell them who he was, admonish them to educate their children, and to be, hopeful, their little girl. The girl on the route through Missouri will remember how caringly he greeted them, with his "God bless you, my children." No one can adequately tell how the great heart of this gifted man went out in sympathy with those of his kind who seemed hopelessly isolated from all kindly forces that tend to save men from the blight of man's prejudice to man. men for the same or equally good accommodation, and an equally good service. This amendment evoked the following explanatory letter: Hon J. B. Puerke. "Dear Sir: I have read and re-read your amendment inserted in Section B as it appeared in The Congressional Record on January 8th instant, of our own care, with quite a few of our people, thinking men of moment, and our unanticipated conclusion is that the amendment in its present form would do us a great service. We are part of the amendment the words 'equally good,' and the two words next to the last words 'equally good,' open a loop-hole for all the discriminations now practiced in the United States. Crow car is in full force. Or, in other words, this is the exact language used in most of the Southern statutes with reference to the separate cars for the white and black drivers. The words quoted above will be stricken out so that the section would read thus: ...for the same accommodations and a like service, or that the amendment itself be withdrawn. That you will pardon the liberty I have taken in writing you this letter, I beg to remain, Yours sincerely, "GEOBORN H. WHITE" "April 27th, 1906." Mr. White conferred with us as regards the sentiment of this letter which met with our hearty approval. Meanwhile, a conference was held in Mr. White's office with newspaper men and influential representatives from several States, who were urged to arouse popular interest in opposing the spirit and letter of the Foraker Amendment. During the pendency of the Foraker Amendment we felt that the time had come to propose a positive and unequivocal measure either a substitute or an offset. Falling back upon Senator Blair's legislative wisdom, we had prepared three amendments of slightly varying form, but of the same substance, as follows: Neither Senator Foraker nor any other Senator beseeched would introduce any one of these resolutions on the ground that it could elicit no support from their colleagues. On the seventh of May the Foraker Amendment was called up in the Senate and defeated. Analysis of the vote shows that it was cast with reference to its general bearing upon the fate of the pending bill, and with little regard to the merit or defects of the particular measure. Two days later an amendment of similar purpose slightly altered in form was introduced by Senator Warner of Missouri and further amendments by Senator Foraker. The amendment required the duty of carders engaged in interstate commerce to give equally good service and accommodations to all persons paying the same compensation for inter-state transportation of passengers. This is the famous Warner Foraker Amendment which passed the Senate by a unanimous vote. We saw at once that this provision gave impetus to action to local "Jim Crow" regulations and proceeded forthwith to have it withdrawn. On the same day, or the following day after the passage of the Warner-Forker Amendment, Mr. A. B. Humphrey of the Constitution League held a conference at Mr. White's office. Mr. Humphrey, like Sonator Blair, was disposed to accept the amendment as passed as beneficial rather than unjustified, and upon the urgent dissension of Messrs. White and Miller he concluded to use his best endeavor to have it stricken out. On May 11 we saw Senator Foraker and during an hour's interview strove to impress upon him the harmful effect of the amendment. Mr. Warner was seen the same day; although his presence was immediately demanded, he made no effort in appointment for the twelfth. The same line of argument was presented to him as had been made to Senator Foraker the previous day. Both Senators were strongly inclined to support, the wisdom of the provision, but stoutly avoided that they had no interest in the matter beyond the welcoming nature of the measure; they wanted the measure withdrawn they certainly would not oppose its reservation. We were informed, however, that the initiative would have to be taken by others, as they could not be expected to stultify themselves by promising the undoing of their own provision, which they would not be and with helpful intention. Senator Foraker arranged these interviews for us. After further conference with Senator Blair, it was decided that the only effective point of attack would be upon the Republican conferences on the State bill, who had not at that time been appointed. We then called upon Senator Dollier, who suggested the names of the probable conferences and advised us to bring all possible influence to bear upon the Senate, who was seen doing in approaching Senators and Representatives in that capacity before they had been officially designated as conferences, we decided to make a collateral before the direct attack. On May 12 letters were sent out to representative and influential colored men THE PRIDE OF THE NEGRO RACE IN THE HALF-MILLION DOLLAR (Incorporated under the Laws of New York State) CAPITAL STOCK $500,000.00 SHARES $10.00 EACH, PAR VALUE: This Company has an six principal object the better hounding of the Legend Tenant Cotton.

WELFORD HOLMS." Together with Mr. White, we arranged to see these conferences as soon as appointed and in the meantime to reach and influence as many Congressmen and Senators as possible. Nearly two weeks after the passage of the amendment Mr. William M. Trottar and Mr. O. G. Morgan came from Boston, Mr. William A. Sinclair and Mr. H. T. Keating from Philadelphia, Dr. S. A. Albert, Dr. J. B. Stubbs and W. C. Jason from Delaware. Those gentlemen besought a number of Senators and Congressmen in the same behalf. Mr. White's centre to members of Congress was of interest to Congress in facilitating those interviews. At this point Mr. White compelled to leave for the South to fill a chain of lecture engagements, leaving the work, so far as our committee was concerned, wholly in the hands of Mr. Grimke. As the result of the several agencies working to a common end, a committee was formed consisting of George H. White, Archibald H. Grimke, William A. Sinclair and Judson W. Lyons to present the matter to the conferences and to reach as many others of influence as was deemed necessary. These gentlemen informed Stetson E. Ekins and Olson, representatives Hephrem and Sharron, the Republican conferences and numerous others who might make sentiment or wield direct or collateral influence. These gentlemen did not cause their activity or vigilance till the amendment was finally stricken out and the bill became a law without what was regarded as its baleful provision. In consequence of such efforts the Warner-Foraker Amendment was rescinded in deference to the protest of the colored race. We are induced to make this statement because of undue craving of undeserved credit, which, in common fairness, should be shared by all who, believing the measure harmful, co-operated towards its undoing; but by reason of the widespread interest around, we feel that the public is entitled to a simple statement of the facts in the case.

In rexard to ownersbip of horas, It wan shown that in cach of the five maxis: terial districts of the county, the propor- tion varied from one-fourth ‘in some lo- calities to three fourths in others. For instance, N. J.

MISSIONARIES FOR TRADE. West Africans See Them In Light of Commercial Travelers. From The Lagos (W. Africa) Weekly Record Mrs. J. Ellen Forster, an American lady who accompanied the Taft party to the Far East, gave utterance to a curiously candid remark about missionary work in India, in a speech at the Jubilee celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the sending of missionaries of the United States to India, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in nongle Hall, New York, May 13. Mrs Forster, who presided, occupied most of the session with a long speech on missionary work in India and China, and said, among other things: "The English merchants have found out what the business men of New York do not know, and that is that there can be no 'open door' in the Far East until the natives of the country, particularly of India, are civilized by the Christian religion so that they will need our goods. This is making the object of Christianity to be that of promoting trade emphasized by the hint to the business men of New York that they should avail them the "open door" which Christianity creates. This is a new way of Christianity; that is, from the missionary point of view, and while it represents its real object, the explanation is calculated to hamper the missionary in making out that his purpose is a spiritual one. The prevailing spirit of inordinate commercial greed so blinds in its intensity that it obscures and subordinates everything else to its urgent needs, and it is not surprising, therefore, that Christianity should become engulfed in the greed of commercialism. There is this, however, that if, as Mrs. Forster tells us, the object of Christianity is to enable English and American business men to Christianize can no longer be paraded as intended for the legitimate salvation, and the so-called "heathen" will appraise Christianity at its right worth that of a commercial asset and appreciate the missionary in his legitimate role of a commercial traveller. The "heathen" will be the more inclined to this view since he perceived all along that it was trade which was dressed up as religion, and the commercial traveller who masqueraded as the religious teacher. TURNER TRAPS D. D.'S Titled Preacher's Troubled by Essay: Enforced—No Escape From The Voice of The People. Some months ago we gave every tilted minister in the Sixth Episcopal District a subject and told them to write and lecture upon the subject given for eight years on a year and a half, and to seek information to do so. logicians, historians, philosophers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, professors, books trees, animals, fish, water, rain, clouds, and, indeed, from the realm of nature in all of its hearings and pantological inferences;—and we learn that some are not doing it and that even some presiding elders are disregarding our command, for we did not give out the subjects and request them to study, lecture and write them out, but we commanded them to do it, which he did, appointing those titled gentlemen and divines to elevate and lift the people up, and we have a right to know what the attainments are of the men we sent to preach. It so happens in the providence of God if they know anything this Bishop will soon find it out, and we mean for our command to be observed; and our race loves to tattle so much that there are hundreds of untidled ministers who hardly inform us when these titled big men do so duty; and if a reformation does not so happen, among several we will publish their names and the names of the brethren who are informing us. Mineralize fool, he expects to copy his subject from some book, but the seven learned men who will examine these papers will catch up with them if they do.
