QUIGG LOSES IN PRIMARIES Parsona Wins by Using State and Federal Patronage Lennel Ely. Quigs was defeated in Tuesday's Republican primaries by Herbert Parsons after one of the most gallant and during fights New York county has ever witnessed. Mr. Parsons, himself a momentity, was strong only by the lavish use he was permitted to make of his Borecourt tag. Mr. Parsons, who poses as a reformer and disinfectant of politics, did not disdain to make unscrupulous and universal use of Federal State patronage to intimidate him into supporting him. Mr. Parsons has with great protenace of purity invaded against men. He has used their own money to choose elections; but he has been guilty of wores—he has used the money or patronage of the National and State to persuade men to support him. It is a significant fact that in the two Assembly districts having the largest Afro-American populations in the county Odell-Quigg men were elected as leaders. In the 9th Assembly district Mr. Windolph was elected unanimously. In the 13th Assembly district, in which San Juan Hill is located, Alderman John J. LEMUEL ELY QUIGG. Hahn was elected by a majority of 100. The victory in the 13th reflects the highest credit upon Mr. Gilchrist Stewart to whose patient and indefatigable resolution the result is largely due. The victory of Mr. Hahn probably means the nomination of Mr. Gilchrist as the Assistant to the Act of practical Afro-American politicians in the State. There was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Monitor League Tuesday night. Besides being beaten in the primaries, they suffered a still bitter disappointment. As they hung around the club rooms waiting with roos anticipation the tapping of the Farrell barrel a cruel telegram from the defending candidate, "Boys, I regret I have no money for you to night. Will see on later." The Monitor League's defeat was crush. Its own district was carried for in by 122 to 57. The election disfellowship of its candidate for the Legislature for Hahn by 85 to 19.

The seventh article in the primary call provides for the election of delegates to the State conventions for the nominating of candidates for governor and the eighth article is for the election of members of the various district committees. Hon. Lemuel Ely Quiggle, who has just conducted in New York county one of the most gallant and admirable fighters in the history of Republican politics against odds which would appeal an ordinary man, has achieved a career which should thrill every ambitions-young American. He was born February 12, 1868, in Maryland. His father was a Methodist preacher and came of Revolutionary stock; his grandfather having been killed in the battle of Princeton Young Quiggle mother was a Southern woman who was born in New York to a family had the usual possessions of a Methodist parson—a large family, a number of plugs and chickens, but no money. Lemuel had only a common school education. He came to New York when he was sixteen years old, without a dollar, a friend or a letter of introduction. After working for a while as a clerk in a book store, he got a reporter's place on The New York Times and began there a newspaper experience. He was for ten years editorial writer on The New York Tribune, devoting most of his work to politics. In January, 1803, he was nominated for Congress in an uptown district which had been carried for Cleveland just previous to the election by a majority of more than 12,000 votes. Mr. Quigg got the nomination mainly because no one else wanted it. It was a special election. Mr. Quigg's opponent was State Senator William L. Brown, then proprietor of The Daily News. The canvas was immensely energetic. The Wilson and this local fight obtained National importance and recognition for the light its result was to throw upon the attitude of the people to this legislation. Mr. Quigg overcome the mountainous Democratic majority, and won out by 900 votes. Thereafter in two successive general elections he was re-elected to Congress. At the State Convention in 1803, when Levi P. Morton was nominated for Governor, Mr. Quigg was elected, temporary chairman and made a speech which was circulated by hundreds of thousands of copies during the campaign. In 1807, took the presidency of the Republican, and became the active manager of the Republican organisation in New York county. This position he held until the summer of 1800, when he resigned it. In 1898, after the battle of San Juan Hill, he became the open champion of Theodore Roosevelt's nomination for Governor of New York and met him by appointment when he landed at Montauk Point. From Mr. Roosevelt Mr. Quigg received the frank commission to get the nomination for him if he could. Mr. Quigg brought about interviews between Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Platt, then in supreme command of the State organization, and it was not long before the friends of the senator took up Statehumannominated Mr. Roosevelt's nomination. In 1900 Mr. Quigg urged upon Mr. Roosevelt the vice-presidential nomination, which resulted in his succession to the Presidency. Mr. Quigg was a delegate to four successive Republican National Conventions, and personally wrote the platform of the 1900 Convention, after the committee on resolutions had rejected a ready-made platform brought from Washington by General Grosvenor. Mr. Quigg has been a delegate to every Republican State Convention since 1883, and has written three State platforms. In 1902 he was again temporary chairman of the State Convention and made a speech which Senator Depew characterized in the Convention next day as the example of political oratory he ever listened to. During the last few years Mr. Quigg's political activity has been confined almost entirely to the Assembly District in which he resides. Until the primary fight which has just ended he has taken little part in public matters. GIVE LIVES FOR UNICLE SAM IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS Two Private in 34th Infantry Murdered by Pulajane. SAN FRANCISCO, September 12.—A special depatch received here today from Manila says that a band of Pulajanes in the island of Leyte on the night of September 10 attacked a detachment of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, the Afro-American regiment, and killed two and wounded eight soldiers. The attack, the dispatch said, in revenge for the punishment inflicted upon the Pulajanes after they had killed Lieutenant Treadwell of the Philippine Scouts. The attack followed almost immediately the engagement in which Treadwell was killed. Early in the evening the camp had been rushed, and at that time the lieutenant fell. The Afro-American troops had gone to the rescue and had driven the natives from the field and had encamped near the settlement. The Fulhams returned and fell upon the sleeping soldiers, attacking them with bolos as they lay in their tents. After considerable difficulty the savages were driven off. Dr. Brooks Book From Europe. Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church, who has spent several weeks abroad, has returned greatly recuperated. On Sunday at 11 a.m. he preached an eloquent sermon to a large congregation. At night Rev. William A. Tucker, of Jamaica, officiated and the church was filled to its utmost capacity. On next Sunday the congregation Leah will be held the memorial service of the ex-president, W. E. Grandison, who passed away after a brief illness. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1906. SEABOARD AIR LINE EXPOSED Delegates Had to Fight For Every Bite, Both on Dining Girls and at Hamlet The travelers to the Business League meeting at Atlanta, Ga., in a special train over the Seaboard Air Line, suffered such abominable treatment both going and coming, that an indignant and specific protest has been sent to the General Passenger Agent. The protest declares that this is the second time the Seaboard has violated agreements with officials of the Business League, and hints that the railroad will not have an opportunity to make a third violation. The protest follows: "To the General Passenger Agent, Seaboard Air Line Railway. "Sir:—Having been passengers on the special sleepers over the Seaboard Air Line Railway, to the meeting of the State Department on August 29-31, we desire to enter a protest against the treatment we received. "Although assured by the various officials of the Seaboard Air Line that we would not be subjected to any discriminations, precisely not provisions were made for supplying means on the going trip, and when protests were made almost every one of the railway officials and employees except W. Cole, relied upon in manners. "It was understood that we would be supplied with food leaving Washington. Monday, August 27, but only one person of our party was served in the dining car at the first call, many others being refused admittance, and were obliged to wait until all other passengers on the train, had been served. "During the dining car no provision was made for the dining car was locked; finally the door was opened, but when our company, started into the dining car they, were prevented from entering by employees of the company. After a long and humiliating, wait, breakfast was served at 12 o'clock—after all other passengers had been waited upon. "In the afternoon no driver was present, and the dining car conductor agreed to serve coffee and sandwiches. "Leaving Atlanta, Saturday, September 1, at 8:35, the delegates were hungry when the train reached Hamlet, N. C. about three hours late. It seems that some one wired for fifteen lunches, although the Seaboard officials at Atlanta had promised first-class service for from 30 to 40 people. The Hamlet people refused to allow us to enter the dining room and the delegates were compelled to leave. They might during the short wait of the train; but upon earnest protest, and after we had been brutally insulted, the train dispatcher ordered that the train be held until lunches were served on a luggage truck at the side of the stations. "We wish to say that all of the railroad officials at Hamlet, except the train dispatcher, were particularly brutal and insulting in their manner. The afternoon meal served on the sleeping car Sunday was fairly satisfactory. "We wish to emphasize the fact that this is the second time that the officials and employees of the Seaboard Air Line were transported into by the officials of the Business League and the officials of the Seaboard Air Line, and it is the consensus of opinion that the third violation will not take place. Respectfully. Lynching Averted When Woman's Color Was Discovered. WILMINGTON, Icel., September 17.—To-night William Archer, an Afro-American, shot three times, and probably fatally wounded Ida E. Spirits. It was at first reported that the woman was white and an angry crowd with weapons burned Archer. He was soon captured, but when it was learned that the victim was one of his own color the crowd dispersed and Archer was locked up. Koth, Stokee and Smart our County Committee—Woods in a Road One. The public and esteem leadership of George M. Keith in the 8th Assembly district was easily competent to overcome a disturbance raised last Friday night in the executive committee of the Afro-American organization by Julius W. Watson. It is the consensus of opinion in the 9th that Watson leapfrogged a dead man in politics. His secret and corruptious canvass for the leadership in opposition to Mr. Keith, who made him and was on a father to him for years; his misrepresentations to Leader Windolph and his arbitrary behavior have thoroughly discredited him with the Republicans of the district. It is rare that a revolt against any man be bitter and so unanimous as this revolt against Watson. It goes without saying that Watson will not be re-elected to the presidency of the Afro-American organization of the 9th. His loss of prestige is shown by the fact that he was unable, by the most frantic and unaccomplished efforts, to have himself named for the County Committee. His abscuse as president will be filled during the coming year by Mr. George L. Lee, president of the Rosewood Republican club, a man of solid and excellent character, who will not devote all of his care to his own interests, but will be heartily devoted to the interests of his constituents. Mr. Lee will be elected leader by acclamation, as before. He has the entire confidence and affection of Mr. Windolph, and the united support of the whole Afro-American constituency. Last year the 9th had only one Afro- American member of the County Com- mittee. This year it has three. Mr. Keith and Mr. R. L. Stokes were elected from the old 11th part of the district and Mr. Sam R. Stuart from the upper part. DR. McIVER, GREAT EDUCATOR, FALLS BREAD OF APOLEXY A Broad Southern White Man, and Afro-American's Friend. RALEIGH, N. C., September, 17.—Charles D. McVee, president of the North Carolina Normal and Industrial college at Greensboro, one of the leading colleges in the state, and apoplexy on the Bryan special train from Raleigh to Greensboro this afternoon. Dr. McLiver was one of the broadest Southern white educators and was a wrist friend and well-wisher of the Afro-American people. RESOURCES OF RICHMOND'S BANKS THREE-QARTERS OF A MILLION And Three Business Firms Have Just Been Incorporated. RICHMOND, Va., September 17.—From a financial and business standpoint, Richmond Afro-Americans are forging steadily to the front, without any blare of trumpets. The total resources of our four banks as made to the State corporation commission, at the close of business on September 4th, 1906, were $700,000 in new policies. Evidences of the increase in our banking and insurance interests are shown in the largely increased forces they employ in their home offices. The Capital City Shoe and Supply Company has just thrown its doors open to the public for patronage. It is incorporated and conducts an up-to-date shoe store in Broad street, the leading retail thoroughfare of high standing in business circles in Richmond. The Inter-State Realty Company is another acquisition to our real estate broker ranks, making three firms now operating here. The incorporators are men of affairs and will succeed. For years Afro-Americans in Richmond have felt keenly the want of an amusement park. The Magnolia Pleasure Park Company was incorporated last spring. The company purchased a fine piece of property within the city limits and immediately acquired it. It has been fenced in, and during the summer months a number of attractions were provided and the place well patronized. The dancing pavilion will be included during the winter months, a skating rink built and other attractions provided. CONFEDERATE FLAG ANGERED Robel, Veteran Waved ... in Their Faces and They Wanted to Shoot. COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 14.—Col Horace Welch of Jefferson, Texas, who traveled 2,000 miles to attend the reunion of the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Regiment, nearly created a riot at the Memorial Hall last week by waving a Conder-bound flag. The Union veterans present. Some trusted the matter lightly, but there were errors of "Rhoot it," and "Fire on the flag," as emblem of the cause they had fought against for four long, bloody years fluttered before their eyes. Welch displayed the flag after he had presented the resolution adopted by General George S. Patton, who conferred Veterans, of Jefferson, Texas, expressing friendship for the Northern veterans and asking them to visit Texas. No action was taken on the resolution. "Mark Hemen" Ginger Smith. Mr. A. L. Fleming, better known as "Mark Hanna," a well-known politician in the 9th Assembly district, will leave about October 31 for a trip of three weeks to the South. He will visit one sister in Newport News, Va., and another in Raleigh, N. C. "Mark Hanna" will cheerfully deliver messages from New York people to friends in Virginia and North Carolina. COUNCIL'S POPULARITY Secretary Jordan Gets Throng of Glowing Endorsements RISING AGAINST WRONG Life of Feeding Browning in the North and South—Contributions Asked for Cause LOUISVILLE, Ky., September 15.—Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the Afro-American Council, has been greatly encouraged by the multitude of sympathetic letters which have been sent him from all over the country in reply to his circula, neat broadcast, asking funds to aid the Council kill the "grandfather" clause. The following extracts from letters written by good men in the various States seem to him to denote a rising tide in the hearts of Afro-Americans against wrong and injustice: "I received the circular letter of the Afro-American Council and I believe the move to the birth of the support of all. Shall pass the letter among my friends, and do what I can to help forward the movement."—Ohio. "Your kind letter received this morning, stating that your Council has determined to fight lynching and oppression of our race in this country. Let me say right here, that you have my prayers and my moral and financial support in the fight against lynching. I have pressed and must take a stand for our rights in this country. You may sign the name of the Independent Order of Red Men in the U. S. A. to the proclamation to the world for awakening our race to duty. Look for a donation from this order." Virginia. "I have interacted in the movement of the Aro-American Council, and an anxious to know more about it. Send me more literature at once." Indiana. "The letter you sent me touching the very important matter of Negro disfranchisement and Jim Crow laws, received. I am in hearty accord with you in this manful fight you are making in behalf of our people in the South, and shall emphasize the importance of your church to follow me in raising a collection. May the great God of heaven preserve you and your associates in the work before you." Pennsylvania. "I am in hearty accord with the Aro-American Council and its objects and will do my best to promote its interest and ensure Carolina." I heartily approve your letter and all efforts made by the Aro-American Council to better the condition of our people, and if there ever was a time in the history of our or any other people when sacrifice and united effort of the people should be put forth, it is now." Mississippi. "I am very much impressed with the work being done to defend my race. I believe this Council will do much good." Georgia. "Your circular letter received, and in reply will say that anything I can do for the race I will do. The columns of my paper are open to the Council at any time. You are welcome in supposing the $1.20 say you was an offering for the heathen in Africa. It is to assist in keeping down the heathen ip America who are being fought by the Afro-American Council. The $1.20 I send for postage to be used in heralding the message of the country. He is also forwarded $5.00 country. One Cent receiving Bank at Nashville for the Afro-American Council Defense Fund."—Tecra. "I received a circular letter from you to day. I know it is not a personal letter, but I take the privilege of writing you a personal letter anyway. I have been here in Texas five years. I have not said anything to anybody, but sometimes I get awful sore on account of the mean sentiment here. I do not take any notice of my anxiety by any means the wretched prejudice. The editorials are so humiliating, so exasperating that I just cannot stand them. The dispatches abound in seminal reports about Negroes somewhere, where nobody can really get the truth. Although I am doing well, I feel gallled. I am not in need of anything but 'free air' to breathe and a place where I can feel like a man. My circular letter with pamphlet and solicitation to, one dollar came to me and I have my prayers and money."—Kansas. "I regard your million-dollar defense fund scheme as the most sane undertaking, in behalf of our civil and political rights in this country, ever inaugurated. Now let our people pray and work to the end that the right may triumph."—Hishop Lee. Dr. Jordan requests all race-loving African Americans to wish to help the Council kill disfranchisement South, to send a contribution of at least a dollar to the One Cent Savings Bank of Nashville, Tennessee, the institution which the Council has chosen as the official depository of its funds. SAVANKAN ADOPTS "JIM GROW" CARS WITHOUT DISPOSSESSION VIT SAVANNAN, Ga., September 13.—The city council yesterday afternoon passed an ordinance providing for the separation of the races abroad the street cars in Savannah. A delegation of leading Afro-Americans of the city appeared before the council in opposition to the measure, and protest was heard. It was of avail, the protest being the ordinance being unanimous. No separate compartments are required, but merely separate seats. A certain portion of every car will be assigned to each race. This is an arrangement that has long been desired by the white people. KNOVILLE, Tenn., September 18. After listening for a week to tales of peonage and slavery, brutality and murder the Federal Grand Jury in session here for the longest period on record, to-day reported indictments against seven men for peonage. The men indicted are prominent in this section. They are Robert B. Oliver, James Condon, James Holland, Martin Condon, Carl Burger, G. S. Nightbert, and Gordon Harrison. Oliver is a brother of W. J. Oliver the contractor, with whom he was associated under the firm name of B. B. Oliver & Brother. The indictments contain twenty-five counts and mention some thirty Afro-Americans who were forcibly restrained of their liberty and compelled to labor in fear of their lives. RECEIVER GETS "ABYSSINIA": MANAGER JAYER MONJOEN Judge Hough, in the United States Circuit Court on Tuesday appointed Jas. D. Barton receiver of the theatrical production "Abyssinia," in which Williams and Walker are appearing. The bond of the receiver was fixed at $10,000, and he was authorized to continue or discontinue the production, according to his judgment. It is understood that Mr. Barton, who is connected with a theatrical lithographing concern, will re-route the play and continue it throughout the season. Williams and Walker accused Melville R. Raymond, their manager, of mismanagement, and they were years ago such was making about $40,000 under Raymond they have had only one week that showed a profit, and that was only $119. Last week Williams and Walker secured an injunction against Raymond, forbidding him to interfere with the production of "Abyssinia," and to lay hands on the receipts. OTA BENGA TO BE RESCUED AND EDUCATED BY PREACHERS African Pygmy Was Exhibited in Monkey Cage at the Ramp. Ota Benga, the African pygmy, is to stay at the Zoological Park a few days longer. This was decided at a conference between Director Hormond and the committee of Baptist clergymen appointed by the Colored Baptist Ministers Conference, to exhibit in a monkey cage, and if possible, also to get the custody of him. The length of time he is still to remain an inmate of the private house in the park is dependent on Dr. Verner's return from North Carolina. As soon as he returns he, Director Hormond and the Rev. James H. Gordon, the Chairman of the committee, will have another conference through Mr. Gordon to get possession of Benga, so that they may send him to Lynchburg, Va., to be educated. There is a hitch at present on the matter of signing an agreement. Director Hormond, who is willing to give up the custody of Benga, is not, willing to give him into the hands of the clergymen with out an agreement that he will be delivered to him. That was the understanding which Director Hormond had with Dr. Vernet when the latter allowed him to go to the Zoological Garden. THREE RACES TO FOUND AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE Writes, Indiana and Afro-Americans to Unite at Boley, I. T. BOLEY, I. T., September 15.—On September 30 the whites, Afro-Americans and Indians of the Territory will unite Daring Corner corner of the Creek Seminole College Institute for Afro-Americans and Indians in this city.

The exercises will be under the auspices of the Masons of two Territories, and Grand Master G. I. Cormier, of Chicago. A feature will be the singing of plantation melodies by the Seminole Jubilee Singers under Mrs. L. A. Tyson. YOUNG POET WRITING GOOD James M. Harrison Is Aloe Studying Law at Howard. StROUHRUNO, Pa., September 15—Mr. James M. Harrison, who hustles bash at the Water Gap House in the summer to pay his expenses in the winters as a student, writes some verse which the local Dr. Johnsons pronounce to be almost as good as Danburr's. Anyhow, some of his dialect poems, like "Hush, mhac Picannery," have the right lilt and music of the plantation. He was born at Norfolk, Va., in 1873. The book he beamed ill刻 shown by his study of law, which will lilt in a sufficient number of loaves and fishes for the Muse to subsist on. Five-Year-Old Girl Austray and Held for Relatives. PHILADELPHIA: September 18.—Agents of the Travellers' Aid Society are seeking the person or persons to whom a little five-year-old Afro-American child was consigned, in this city by the little one's mother in Delaware. The child, a bright-eyed girl, left a train at Broad street station carrying a dress milt case almost like a tent, left breast was plained a tag marked "Glacier Valley, Pond's Nest to Philadelphia." A sage check found in the child's stocking bore the same directions. The child will be cared for by the society until claimed by relatives. Herbert, Powell, Robinson, Johnson, Lawson and Fortune URGE HIS RE-ELECTION Appointments He Has Secured Us—His Activity in Killing Warner Amendment NEWARK, N. J., September 17.—The chairman of the Colored Citizens' Executive Committee of the regular Republican organization of Edison, county, New Jersey, wrote to a number of the representative men of the race asking them for an expression of opinion that would aid Afro-American voters in properly discharging their duty in the present contest between the regular Republican organization and the follower of State Senator Everitt L. Colby. All of the very interesting answer are of the most cordial character, and each advises the support of the regular organization of the Republican party. All declare without reservation for Senator Dryden's re-election. Herburt's Strong Stand. R. Henri Herbert of Mercer, Advisory Member of the Republican State Committee, takes a strong stand in favor of the regulars, and Senator Dryden's reelection. He says: "I in my judgment it is our duty to support the principles, policies and candidate of the regular organisation of the Republican party. Exactly county and in all the other counties of the State. "This is a crisis in the political history of the race in this State. The regular organization of the Republican party, with its splendid record of beneficial legislation and successful administration, is not alone compelled to fight the Democratic enemy, but is opposed by macronation. The regular Republican attitude in this contest will largely determine the attitude of the party toward us for years to come. It is the duty of our representative men to speak out upon this subject and let the people know where they stand and what they consider our duty in the premises. It is no time to equivocate; no time to straddle. The change has been made that Senator Dryden has gone re-election to the United States Senate, has been introduced to us. As a matter of fact, the record of Senator Dryden has been affirmatively friendly upon every measure in which our rights and interests were concerned. Not alone as the only candidate of the Republican organization for United States representatives, whose splendid abilities and conscientious services have added lustre to the State, he is entitled to our loyal support." Powell Says Organisation to Help Past Friends The letter of Hon. William F. Powell, ex-Minist to Hayti, in his hearing on the question under consideration is as follows: "In regard to the present political situation, I think that a thorough organization is required, and that it is affected only in Essex county, but in every part of the State. I believe, too, that we should not consider platforms that are frequently drafted only to be broken after they have served their purpose, but should consider in the future the record of the men placed in nomination. If these men have been our friends in the past, we should support our support. In this election, as for in all future elections, we should act for the benefit of our people, in preference to any personal benefit that may accrue to us." Mr. Powell sets forth at considerable length the advantages of thorough organization and how it would benefit the Afro-American voter in his effort to secure the measure of civil and political rights. Referring to bribery at elections he says: "Another matter should receive our careful attention, through the medium of the Citizens' Republican Organization, and that is, educating our voters to refuse all compensations for their votes in this and in future elections. If this is not the case, we will find that your influence in all future political contexts will be increased." Lawson's Loyalty: Jesse Lawson, EQq, of Union, a clerk in the Washington pension office, went very deeply into the situation in his reply. He covered issues and discussed factions, declaring without reservation for Senator Dryden's re-election and citing his reasons for doing so. He says: "During the past two months I have presented almost every county in the State of New Jersey without hesitation that, so far as I have been able to ascertain, a vast majority of the colored voters of the State are with the regular Republican organization, and mean to act and vote with that organization during the coming campaign. Their action is influenced by the fact, as stated by them, that they are whole Republicans, and not half Republicans, not wearing the livery of the party to better serve the ends of the Democratic party. They know that a party divides an audience can no more endure than a home divided against itself can stand. They do not want to destroy the Republican party in the State of New Jersey, because they know that it is the best party that has ever had control of affairs in the State, and that the present organization is clear, faithful, intelligent and patriotic, with an eye always single to the best interests of all of the people of the community, regardless of race or color. Being Republicans to the core they in no wise want or even to be considered, adjuctions to the democratic party, nor do they want to form a munition to be used against the Republican party by the Democratic press and orators. They do not hold that the news and repatriation is a prerequisite of independence and independence of being improved, but they do not mandate that it is so clean and整洁 an organization as the State has done last, and that it will not suffer more deterioration than in other States of the Union, and that it is not necessary to destroy the policy in order to reform it." After returning to Senator Dryden's office on the Railroad Rate bill, the Lifelongman-Canal question and various other matters, Mr. Lawson continues: "Burn after the election of the Hearn John P. Bryan to succeed the Hearn John S. Bryan in the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate, an attempt made to have our fellow-senators, the Hearn William P. Powell, of Canada, supposed by a Negro from another State as Navoy. Extraordinary and Minister Flippenapathi to the Republic of Haiti." "He had Lieutenant E. R. Galker of Monarchite, a Negro, retained in the Company office at Washington for some time after he had been sited on demand an account of reduction of the force in that office. He was instrumental in getting employment in the printing office for a poor Negro widow of a soldier who was a voter in Bexxus county. The name of this widow in Mary Doogram. "He also had Charles S. Reed, a Negro voter of Atlantic City, retained in the printing office as long as possible and he has taken a decided stand, following in the footsteps of General Sewell, for a larger recognition of the Negro voter of New York. "All this has been done in less than five years of service in the Senate, and at a time, when Negroes are not in special favor in National politics. "On every question before the Senate Mr. Dryden has favored a square deal for every man and woman, regardless of race, color or condition in society, and requirements of the situation, whatever tests may have been applied." Fortune favors Dryden. Mr. T. Thomas Fortune of Red Bank endorses Senator Dryden's candidacy as follows: "From my point of view, at this time party regularity is the greatest importance. The Republican organization of New Jersey is the most powerful Union. Its representation in the Federal Senate is rated at the highest order because of the business capacity of its members. In saying that Senator Dryden has added to the force and character of the Senate by his industry and large business abilities and reflected great honor upon New Jersey is tantamount to a victory. Senator Dryden Senate by his State. We must have parties. The Republican party of New Jersey is among the cleanest and strongest in the Republic. We should stand by it. Robinson and Browdery. Charles N. Robinson of Camden, one of the three Advisory Members of the Republican State Committee, in a carefully prepared letter declares: "The best means of advancing our race programs along all lines is for us to favor nothing which does not promise the best results. Men and measures should be nothing to us unless they give fair promise of promoting our welfare. "In the political activity now within the lines of the Republic's party in some sections of the State think that the committee should consider those directly concerned can with safety be depended on to finally adjust matters. I know of none who possess those qualities to a greater extent than the Republics of your country." "Beatland Secrets "New Idea" J. II. E. Scotland, justice of the peace in the city of Newark, and president of the People's Forum, took up the question at almost as great length as did Mr. Lawson. He, like the other leaders, urges against turning from the party organization. "I am a supporter of the regular party organization, championed by that stalwart leader, Major Carl Lents," he says. "Associated with him are men of brains, patriotism and character. I have no misgivings but that the rank and file of Afro-American voters in our county will also themselves in support of the principles for which that organization has been working. I continue—government of the people, by the people and for the people's interest generally, despite the claims of the critics." "Great issues will confront the Republican party in the pending campaign, and the candidates of the regular party organisation who will represent these issues are, therefore, entitled to the united confidence and support of the unprejudiced American elect. Especially Americans consider that there are questions of vital interest and importance to us as a race in the exercise of our constitutional rights, and that these deserve intelligent and serious consideration and thought. As a race, peculiar relations to this great commonwealth and to the Nation at large warrant us at this time in endeavoring to secure the election of men who are friendly to our political interests and are tried and true. "We cannot allow personal or alleged grievances to endanger our greater interest in the county, state or Nation by joining the force of the so-called 'New Triumphism' and interest in our race in governmental affairs are unknown quantities to us so far. "We should always measure the length of the step we are asked to take, and thereby determine the wisdom of taking it, or we might, by experimenting upon theory, without being able to penetrate a bops from better results, without first trying to breast upon which we are to be pillowed, run the risk of being squeezed to death by a gorilla in disguise. "In the last analysis, as to Senator Dryden's candidacy, I respect that he has given to his party and to his State an honest, capable and faithful account of the logical candidate for the great treat which his fellow-citizens through the representatives have bestowed and will bestow upon him again. "His work for progress and peace and the honor and welfare of both State and Nation, dictates the wisdom of his vindication and and afterward through our State of gratitude. Therefore, stick to the organization—the world honors the sticker and never the quitter. "By supporting our friends we shall have done our tell daily, and then the house is in trouble, that as a rose we have never followed, but when the call has been made from the primary to the polls, we have been true American citizens on guard." Johannesburg Confidence Index. Bilgha Johnson, Bye, ch-arron of the Colored Citizens' Committee of the regular Republican organization of the University, is confident that Afro-American citizens generally will support the candidate of the regular organization of the party at the primaries. Speaking this morning at the Colored Republican headquarters, in the Union League building at 53 Academy street, he said: "Among colored people, like others, a new political influence attracts and focuses the discontent, the failure, the vengeful and those with unanticipated aspirations in political life. Eventually, however, the hold which the dominant principle of the people asserts itself and party allegiance becomes stronger, stronger and more militant. "The virulence of the outcry against Senator Dryden has shaken and honeous opposition to him among our race practically ceased. His record as Senator, is so altogether invaluable and has been marked by such antithetical affirmation both by vote and vote, of Republican principles and by the appertial to our welfare, that to sensible colored men opposition to his rejection seems particularly unreasonable and illogical. "The specialized deliverances and unqualified indemnity of Senator Dryden and the Republican organization by such men as Hon. R. Henri Herbert of Mercur, member of the Republican State Committee; Jones Lawson, Eq. of Union Hon. Robert H. Hickman, Hon. Charles N. Robinson, State document clerk; Justice J. H. E. Scotland and other leading men throughout the State have done much to clear the atmosphere and confirm the allegiance of the rank and file to the grand old party of freedom, under whose banner we have no long and loyally fought. Need Dryden Back. "Aside from the peculiar interests of our race we are also alive to the necessity of the return of Senator Dryden to the Senate to aid in maintaining the admirable tariff legislation which has abolished soup houses, depleted amphouses, given free employment of precedents, prosperity American labor and unequaled opportunities for the profitable use of American capital. "We have opened headquarters here in the Union League building, SS Academy street, Newark, for the common use of all the colored Republicans of the county. All are welcome, regardless of past political affiliations. We have pleasant rooms, the daily newspapers and current periodicals and a warm greeting for all Essex county Republicans who may call any day between 11 A. M. and 11 P. M." No Member of Senate More Active in Fighting It. Substantial evidence of Senator Dryden's interest in the welfare of the Afro-American people is found in his action in connection with the so-called "Jim Crow" amendment to the Railroad Rate bill. No member of the Senate was more active in efforts to have the Warren amendment stricken from the bill, as soon as it became known that it was objectionable to those in whose interest it was thought to have been drawn. Former Register of the Treasury Lyons called personally upon Senator Dryden, as did also several delegations of prominent Afro-Americans to ask his good offices in having the amendment stricken out. Senator Dryden at once interviewed members of the conference committee directly in charge of the bill, urging in behalf of his Afro-American constituents, that the former amendment was objectionable to them in any way, should be taken into account in any way discriminating against them. His activity in the matter had much to do in bringing about the defeat of the objectionable provision. Among others who appealed to him from Newark was Mr. James E. Churchman, who, in a communication under date of May 24, entered the Senator to do all in his power to have the Warner amendment stricken out. Senator Dryden, with his usual promptness answered Mr. Churchman immediately upon receipt of his letter as follows: Dear BF: I am pleased to endorse favor of the 24th instant, with enclosure relative to the Railroad Rate Bill. I am in full sympathy with your wishes in this matter, having already learned through delegations that have called upon me that the amendment does not meet the wishes of those in whose behalf it was drawn, and I shall use my influence and vote accordingly. Believe me, very truly yours. JOHN F. DAYTON TURNER STILL AGITATING FOR RETURN TO AFRICA Wants Steamship Line to Start From Southern Port. Bishop Henry M. Turner, the senior Bishop of the African M. E. Church and a strong advocate of migration to Africa, is in this city with the hope of interesting capital in a project to start a direct atemship route from some Southern port the west coast of Africa. "The majority of the American people don't know," said the Bishop yesterday, "how alarming conditions are becoming in this country for the Negro. And they are growing more terrible from day to day. "Unless something is done to relieve the majority of some of its millions of Negroes there is no telling what may happen." The Bishop said that the governments of the west coast of Africa would welcome to their shores thrifty and industrious Afro-Americans. "The launching, burning and murder of Negroes here are plagues," said the Bishop, "that God is inflicting upon the race given to Africa, where they can build a great civilization that will be a blessing to God and the millions of Negroes here and in Africa." If a direct route was started from some Southern port, the Bishop said, it would require a hundred ships to carry a Negroe who would want to go to Africa. --- Need Dyden Back. SENATOR DRYDEN'S WORK Special Correspondence of The Acm. Maryann, Tenn., September 15—The National Baptist Convention, composed of the Afro-American Baptists of the United States, has been holding its annual meeting here during the past week. Most of the important leaders of that dissemination are in attendance. Unlike other years, much important work has been done and many reforms have been proposed. A number of valuable reports dealing with the convention, and its subsidiary congrue have been carefully considered and will be much heard of during the coming year. There are said to be more than two million Afro-American Baptist communicants in the country, with twelve thousand ministers and nearly seventeen thousand churches. Here is an organization, then, representing the largest single denomination among the Afro-American people of the country, and its meetings have to do, in the largest possible way, with directing the moral and religious life of the race. The meetings here have large cotton warehouse facing the Mississippi river, with example enough to hold 25,000 people. The space actually set aside, for the delegates and others has been large enough to accommodate the 7,500 delegates and the many visitors, white and black, who are attending the meeting. Last night, September 14, on special invitation, Dr. Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, delivered an address which has been the bright, particular feature of the meeting. 25,000 people, says The Memphis Commercial Appeal, the leading Democratic newspaper of the city, surged about the entrances as early as five o'clock, clamoring for an opportunity to secure vantage points either to see Dr. Washington as he passed into the hall or to secure admission so as to listen to his address. More than a dozen policemen were required to prevent a stampee of Dr. Washington arrived at the hall or to secure admission with E. C. Morria, president of the convention; Dr. R. H. Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Publishing House; Dr. T. J. Searay, Hon. Josiah T. Settle and Mrs. Searay, his boats; his son, Booker T. Washington, Jr., and his secretary, Mr. Emmetts J. Scott. His arrival was the signal for loud and continuous applause as he passed between the waiting through into the auditorium. Cheers, repeated again and again, greeted his ears as his carriage was driven through the long lines on either side of the roadway. When he alighted four officers, under the special supervision of the night sergeant, preceded him, making a way for him to reach the rostrum. When Dr. Washington ascended the platform nearly 10,000 persons who had paid an admission fee—the full proceeds of the meeting were donated to the convention by him—came to their feet with repeated cheers and even before being introduced, Dr. Washington was compelled to come to the front of the platform and bow in acknowledgment of the correspondence received, arranged that no other speaker should appear at this meeting, so as to give him all the time needed for his address. He spoke for one hour and twenty-five minutes in characteristic form; being playful and humorous, eloquent and forceful by turns. The audience was swayed at his will. When he had concluded there was a perfect rush of delegates to shake his hand. With good nature he attempted to gratify all who approached him, but the managers seeing the impossibility of this feat tried to check the handshaking. If anything has been proved by Dr. Washington's visit it is that he has a close place in the hearts of the masses of the Afro-American people of the country. The men who have attended this meeting are either not other会议 in this country the masses of the race, and their every action seemed to prove to Dr. Washington how earnestly they appreciate all that he is doing and has done for them. Another pleasant feature of Dr. Washington's visit to Memphis was the reception tendered him at the rooms of the Colored Elks' Club, Friday noon, at which time twenty-three Afro-American physicians of the city of Memphis, organized under the name of the Bluff City Medical and Pharmaceutical Association, Dr. A. L. Thompson, president, gathered to express their confidence and good will toward him. Addresses were made by a number of these well dressed and handsome gentlemen, after which the whole party retired to the refreshment rooms to be presented to the producer by Afro-American young men, the handsetment perhaps conducted by then, throughout the South. Delicious refreshments were served and Dr. Washington taken for a drive about the city. The address made by Dr. Washington here has helped conditions in a most satisfactory way. Whites and blacks unintentionally praised his wise and courageous words. Counselor Junus C. Aylter delivered a united address Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. in West 53rd street on "The Languages" in which he spoke in Hebrew, German, Yiddish, French and English. Mr. Aylter has also a considerable acquaintance with Latin, Greek, Arabic and Chal散ic. Dr. Edward W. Blyden spoke of Mr. Aylter in The A. M. E. Quarterly Review as the only Afro-American he ever met who had a knowledge of Arabic. Republican in politics and made three telling speeches, for Mr. John J. Hahn in the primary fight in the 18th Assembly district. He has a growing law practice. He is a Rutgers, Princeton and Yale man. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1906.

WASHINGTON, September 18.—Teacher day at the opening of the public schools Mr. Roscoe Conkling Bruce assumed the position of supervising principal of the Afro-American schools. Mr. Bruce had been for four years director of the academic department of Tuskegee Institute. This department he was raised to a high plane of efficiency through the formation of the ability to conceive and the resolution to put through. His work in correlating the industrial and academic was brilliant, and permanently moulded the school's policy in this regard for the future. Dr. Washington exceedingly regretted Mr. Bruce's departure from Tuskegee, and expressed the most generous appreciation of his services to Tuskegee. Mr. Bruce's appointment in Washington is a most important and significant promotion. He will undoubtedly add there to his already brilliant reputation. MISSOURI PACIFIC PUTTING WHITE PORTERS IN SERVICE Oueting Afro-Americans at Demand of White Tranmier. Houston, Tex., September 15.—The demand made by the trainmen of the Missouri Pacific system to replace the Afro-American porters by white brakemen has been partially granted by the chief officer of the company have been sent out from the general offices to the effect that beginning with September 1 no Afro-American porters will be hired by the company, and all Afro-American porters hired recently will be discharged and their places filled by white men. All Afro-American porters who have been in the employ of the company for any length of time will be retained, at least those who have been in the service longer than a year. While this action is to the advantage of the trainment, it makes the cost of operating passenger trains more. Afro-American porters are secured for less money than brakemen. The pay of a brakeman on a passenger train is less than that of those in the freight service, and the pay of a brakeman never has been a great kick made by the brakemen ever, there are a few of the brakemen who would rather be in the passenger service, earning less money, than in the freight service.

Y., September 16.—The conference on home economics began yesterday morning with a paper on trade schools and their relation to general education by Mrs. Mary Schenck Woolman, director of the Manhattan Trade School for Girls. It was prefaced with an interesting account of the work and influence of European trade schools. She pointed out that in industrial education continental Europe is far ahead of English speaking nations, and as a result has many flourishing trades which can be conducted in this country only by aid of foreign operatives, while many of our manufacturers have had to place their factories in foreign countries because only there is the requisite skilled labor procurable. More important, however, than the better pay with which trade schools enable workers to begin their wage earning in the better living and the capacity for advancement resulting from such training, and to build a school a subject testifies strongly to the uplifting influence of trade education on homes and character, and the Manhattan and Boston trade schools for girls show the same results. As children have now little or no training of hand or eye in their homes, she goes to a far distant school our public school system must take account of the great army of them that goes to wage earning and not into the higher schools, for the schools must teach what the people need to know and are not getting otherwise.

BEST TIME TO OR THE AGE Outwitted Nelson and Let Him Wear Himself Out But Champion Will Make His Own Conditions—His Next Scrap Promised to Britt CHICAGO, September 16.—In a telegram to a Chicago paper to-day from Duluth, where he is filling a theatrical engagement, Joe Gana, lightweight champion of the world, gives his side of the controversy started by Billy Nolan, Nelson's manager, and says he will fight the Battler again. He makes the following assertions: First—That he will fight Nelson again. Second—That he has never made a statement refusing to meet the Battler since the Goldfield fight. Third—That he will not allow Nolan and Nelson to dictate terms for another fight. Fourth—That he has promised Britt the first fight he engages in. Fifth—That he will never again make 180½ pounds as at Goldfield. Sixth—That Nolan's claims are ridiculous. Seventh—That the fight pictures will show him right in every respect. Gans says in part: "I notice by the Chicago papers that Battling Nelson has arrived in Chicago, posed for pictures and given a statement of our recent battle. The most prominent feature of Nelson's poesy and statement is his claim that the last blow he struck was not a foul one. The general sporting public is now too familiar with Nelson's foul tactics in our fight for me to make any statements on the subject. The entire story of Nelson is ridiculous from beginning to end. "By the way," said Gans, "I received a telegram this morning from Ben Selig in San Francisco, who is representing me there, stating that the fight pictures are a complete success and show every plain foul blow struck by Nelson. The pictures will bear out my story. "On reading that Nelson claims he struck no foul blows, I called in a lot of sporting men and newspaper writers here and showed them a deep wound on my left leg where Nelson kicked me." "I have done no talking since the fight, and when any questions were put to me regarding Nelson I gave him credit for being one of the gamenst boys in the ring, and for having more endurance than any other lightweight in the country, and that I had to use all my ring generalship in that last contest. "The pictures of the fight will show that I allowed Nelson to be on the aggressive as I did, with the intention of letting him wear himself out. In the early rounds of the fight I found it easy to hit Nelson, and had him bleeding, but that did not seem to have any effect on him, so I changed my tactics until the sixteenth round, when it was that I hurt my right hand. I hit him on the head, and I thought my hand was broken for a few seconds. "I felt discouraged, but I brightened up and said to myself, I can keep him from hurting me, and decided to stay close to him. That was my pie—to get to him, as he could not get the force to his blows when we got together, and the only thing I had to look out for was his head. As Mr. Siler said, he must have pushed his head from in front of my face over fifty times, which statement the pictures will bear out. "Well, as I said about my hand, I did not use it until the twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth round, and I let it go and landed on his head, and that was the time I started with my feet, so as to make him believe that he stepped on my feet. Then I said to myself, I will go along using my left, jabbing him in the eye, until I get it closed." Siler had his back turned on us. I very confident at this stage of the for I knew Nelson could not last longer, as he commenced to get and I could feel him taking hold and it was evident that he did not ginger in him that he did in the rounds. I stunch of the last round was and the second one was all the third was a rank foul and of business. I noticed Nelson one side, not saying a word, that he had done. Then No to the ring and commenced 'hobbery,' as Siler de he loser on a foul. in for three hours after result of the foul blow, me to my hotel. Nelson not knock him down up on three different he had slipped and he called me, picked at he did slip and I did he deliberately pictures will show fight I welghed ing togs welghed ads. These are n I stepped on beam to the which Nolan ich a thing elson again, but now on I will I will HE HAS TOURED WITH PRESIDENTS GEORGE W. BAILY Has the Afro-American contributed to the success of belting the country with pushing locomotives and making the tired traveller as comfortable as he was in the embrace of a loving family by the Gome fireside? He has. One cannot deny the fact that the Afro-American is an essential part of the railway system, when the history of Mr. G. W. Bailey is considered. Mr. Bailey has been in the Pullman service continually for twenty-five years. The dining car which was on exhibition at the World's Fair at Chicago and the Atlanta Exposition was under his management. He also acted in the same capacity at the Tennessee Centennial, held at Nashville; the Trans-Mississippi International Exposition held at And Issues a Challenge to Several Cracks of His Class. PHILADELPHIA, September 18.—Jack Johnson, the Afro-American heavyweight, arrived in this city Saturday afternoon. He said he had heard a lot of battle talk, but could see little real fighting going on, and that as far as he was con- cerned he would like to mingle a little with the mittens himself. He said: "Nelson and Britt made a big play about holding all the roses in the lightweight division until Gans secured recognition, and then he pamed both of these gentle- men a lime. All that Joe needed, as far as I can see, was the chance to meet them. That is the same in my case. I stand ready to meet any man in the world. I have been about a good deal and fought all sorts of fights, and I am like Joe in a good many ways. I have earned money and let it fly. "Now I am going after 'Real Estate' O'Brien, 'Fat' Sam Berger or 'One Round' At Kaufman. They must meet me or show the public that they want little easy picking. I have never been beaten in my life, and I am a young fellow. I want the chance, and I think I can get it in this city, and I will stay here until I am convinced that I cannot get it here. "Let any man in the world come out and I will meet him under any rules he wants. Let this be plain. I bar none; the first one, the first one to go to sleep. No more fooling and letting them stay the limit. They go out as sure as they get in the ring. I mean it." Mayor Weaver Addresses Convention of Western Hemisphere. PHILADELPHIA, September 17.—The seventh annual session of the Imperial Council, Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine of North and South America, convened at their Mosque, 17th and Kater streets, Oasis of Philadelphia, Desert of Pennsylvania, last week. Jacob F. Wright of Richmond is Imperial Potentate and J. H. Murphy of Baltimore Imperial Recorder. There were 148 delegates present from all sections of America. During the sessions addresses were delivered by Mayor Weaver, ex-Mayor Stuart and many prominent Shriners. The election of officers resulted as follows: Imperial Potentate, Jacob F.

RICHMOND, Va., September 17.—The re-election of Mr. Jacob F. Wright of Richmond as imperial potentate of the Afro-American Shriners in Philadelphia last Friday was a great compliment to Richmond, as was also the vote to hold the next meeting in this city. Mr. Wright is one of Richmond's brainy, and thrifty young men, and fills honorably all positions he holds. Negotiations are now pending between Mocha Temple and Al Borak Temple ('John G. Jones' faction) for a union of the latter with the former.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. September 17.—Exactly three weeks after the close of the most successful summer school in its history. Lincoln Institute opened for the regular scholastic year Monday, September 3, as scheduled in its catalogue. Under the able management of President B. F. Allen the institution is recognized as one of the leading schools of the country for the professional training of teachers along the lines of higher education, manual and industrial education, etc., and students from all sections of the country seek its fostering care. They are here from Los Angeles on the West and from Mobile and New Orleans on the South, a fine set of young men and women, evidently with a purpose in life. Such young people are the hope and inspiration of the race. The opening enrollment has been unusually large this year, and all of the departments are in good running order. Miss Fredrica Sprague, formerly of Domestic Science, goes to the new Lincoln high school of Kansas City to take charge of similar work, and Miss Ida A. Burrell of Philadelphia, graduate of Madame Rorer's famous cooking school, in which she gained prestige as a teacher of classes, comes to Lincoln Institute. This is the regular year for the meeting of the General Assembly, or Missouri Legislature, and at the present rate of enrollment it will be necessary for President Allen to ask for additional buildings to meet the growing demand. Missouri is very proud of this institution for her. Afro-American citizens and liberally provides for its growth and development. Governor Folk and other State officials have publicly, and on various occasions especially, commended the work of Lincoln Institute. Hence there is every reason to believe that all reasonable requests will receive due consideration in the future as in the past.

The Hand of Roosevelt. The hand of President Roosevelt is plainly visible in the success of the Herbert Parsons faction in the heated Republican party primaries in Greater New York last Tuesday. We shall have to wait until the Saratoga convention to settle finally the control of the Republican party in New York State. When the conclusion is reached there good Republicans all over the State will think it over. If the result is not satisfactory to them they need not accept it. It will be admitted on all hands that the conditions of Republican politics in New York State are far from satisfactory to the mass of votem, because new forces have got into the party and seek to control it. The AOR will not accept any half-baked Republican business this year. It must be the straight goods, and it does not look at this moment as if the straight goods were going to be put up to the Republican voters of the State. The Labor Problem in South Africa "The Labor Problem in South Africa A great deal has been said in The Times from time to time about the importation of Chinese laborers into South Africa, to do the work of the mines, the possession of which led Great Britain to wage war upon and to destroy the independence of the two Dutch Republics, but the real cause of displacing black labor for yellow has not always been made clear. Our esteemed contemporary, The Gaelic Americas, which has no love for England or for Englishmen, has the following to say about the matter: Harper's Weekly has come out with what is obviously intended to be a justification of the British massacre of the Zulu in Natal. It says the Zulu won't work, and talks about his leaving all the farm and housework to be done by the British, and the farm while he be attends to the cattle, hunts for game for food and conducts the affairs of his tribe. The scrubbler who wrote this rubbish attributes the dearth of labor and the troubles in South Africa to this cause which, to any one who knows the truth about the matter fails, the Zulu is the suicidely painful and terrifying treat, as was the case under the Boer government when the mine owners had all the labor they needed and mines were paying anything from 25 to 600 per cent. in dividends; but the Zulu will not work under British rule for a pack of greedy Jew mine owners for twenty-five cents a day, feed himself, and be thrown on a dump to work in the mine. This thing in Harper's Weekly only shows that there are always prostitutes of the pen ready to do England's dirty work. The Geociel American of last July quoted the following article from The Prince, a Transavail weekly newspaper, which illustrates the fact that the yellow man having displaced the black man as a common labor will in the end, if given time, displace the white man as a skilled laborer: A large percentage of the Chinese imported for unskilled labor are artisans or every description, such as engineers, fitter etc. in fact, mechanics in every branch of engineering, and, to give them due being naturally of an intelligent disposition they are not easily excelled, even by a British artisan or his Yankee cousin Chinese or undergrown man had never seen a rock-drill, can now do more work in a given time than the white man who formerly housed up a rock-drill staff of Kamra. More than this, the very first thing a Chinaman does when he is put on to a rock-drill is to become thoroughly conversant with all its parts and commit to his creative endeavors. In many irregularities and breakdowns which occur, with the one result that they soon become more proficient than white miners, with the rock-drill. The difference in wages between white and yellow labor under existing conditions is enormous, so much in fact that the cost of importing the Chinaman is met by the latter himself in the course of few months, the lighting magnifies no the working conditions mentioned above are not the main reason for their objection to successful recruiting by the new labor association, and their frantic endeavors to retain and further import Chinese labor. Let me tell those of the white employees on the Rand mines who think they are in permanent positions underground and overhead that the continuation of allow labor on the mines would be when they are for them to raise a hand to prevent it no white skilled or unskilled labor on the gold mines of the Transvaal five years hence. Commenting on this remarkable labor mix up, in which both the white and black laborer, who are part and parcel of the soil, are being undermined in their bread and butter by the alien Chinaman to make dividends for British stockholders of Rand mines, The Gaclio American says: With the light this throws on the situation at the Rand gold mines in the Translational and the question of the employment of Chinese indented slave-labor, it becomes clear that the labor force in Mines Rows at the thought that representative institutions should be given to the people of the Supreme Court would never shortest of their guidelines to run the white Trojan on the Dismembered White Brave run the committees at the Excelsior Museum. Boldly easy to use the motto for the Army of the artillery and depression in the Gold Coast controlled English, French and American papers on the white motto. We have no sympathy for white folks in trouble in Africa, where the character of the troubles; indeed the more trouble of all sorts that they may have there the more will get all that is coming to them. Whatever the nationality of Europeans in Africa, they have robbed the natives of their lands and such government as they possessed, where this could be done, and they are doing it still. They have no conscience whatever in their exploitation. Perhaps this characteristic is common to the human race; but civilization should teach a higher standard of morals. This will never be done, however, while money is regarded as the best thing to possess. From this point of view, the exaltation of wealth over all else and the selfishness underlying it, our civilization is built upon error and will ultimately go to smash if the error cannot be corrected in the evolution of social conditions. But the Chinaman is a wonderful creature, and, given a fair chance, the rest of mankind find it hard to compete with him. --- Preachers' Influence in the Business Loarse THE AGE has always been outspoken on any point at issue. It has not bit its tongue for friend or foe. In our recent reference to the religious and therefore funeral character of the entertainment given the members of the National Negro Business League we said that a repetition of that sort of thing was not desired in the future. We mean that, and in saying so we do not speak as an official of the League but as a member. The Southwestern Christian Advocate, commenting on our remarks, says: This is a most uncharitable cut at the ministers who sought to make the stay of the delegates in Atlanta pleasant. It was necessary in order to secure a suitable place for the gathering of the Business, League to me big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal church, which, of course, has a minister as its pastor. The ministers of the city were called upon, no doubt, to ask and entertainment of the Business League and in harmony with their calling. There were no members of the functions, although Tiru Anq states to the contrary. It may be that these functions were not after the fashion that the good editor of Tiru Anq desired, and certainly he does not care for the preachers' treatment, which was "as sollen as a funeral," and the editor of Tiru Anq, the chairman of the executive committee of the Negro Business men do not want this part of ching to happen again," which is to my mind, because there are not wanted, and the last clause of paragraph very clearly states: "Preachers should keep their hands off." It is to be understood therefore that the Business League desires not the co-operation of the Negro preachers in its work If so now is the time to speak. If the Negro preachers are not wanted they certainly have work enough of their own to keep them busy and not have such an ungrateful, if not ungentlemanly, as comes from the editor of The New York Age. This matter needs serious attention. Now, there were social functions, and plenty of them, and we have not said there were none. What we did say is that every function partook of a religious character. We like religion in its place. It has a place in the Business League, and in all of the relations of life, but those who boss the job do not always know how to regulate it. Preachers are not business men, in the main. They should be, and it is a great pity and a great loss to the race at large that they are not; but when they interest themselves in the local arrangements of the National Business League it is not desired that they dominate them and fetch into the whole business the church methods which have come to regard all things of a social character as outlawed. This was the case at Atlanta. We are grateful for the interest the preachers of Atlanta took in the local arrangements for the entertainment of the members of the National League; but we are bound to believe that they now perceive that they were in error in building the whole matter on the church basis. The Business League certainly desires the sympathy and cooperation of the preachers all over, but they should understand without being, told that they cannot make the Business League a church affair, and if there is anything more solemn, dismal and uninspiring than a church meeting we have never seen it. This matter needs no "serious attention." All the preachers have to do is to recognize that the Business League meetings are not religious funeral occasions. Our " Real Estate Barons." Our extraordinary contemporary, The Boston Guardian, whose editor is not only criminal in his heart but crazy in his head, allowed his New York correspondent to say the following in his newspaper of August 18: The real estate barons of New York seem to be in financial strata. There's going to be a slump in rent by and by. The new law tempers are being filled as fast as they are ready for occupancy and old bed hidden, dark hall apartments are becoming vacant. The P. A. "11" signs are on many of them and has been for some time. There is also a for sale sign on a corner lot in Harlem controlled by Mr. Payton for which $110,000 is asked. It was purchased on "spec" and looks like a white elephant with an empty trunk. Now, this statement of the case is malicious to the last degree. It is an exhibition of the spirit which has done more than the antagonism of white men to handicap the Afro-American people in the effort to succeed in commercial pursuits. Here in New York, in the past few years, there has been a careful education all along the business life Algeria, America, more on, we believe, than in any other of the Northern States. They have brought all lines of business, and it's a small but substantial way we can easily lay the foundation for huge business enterprises in the 'course of time. In the real estate business, particularly, they have prospered wonderfully, and we have many men and women who have created a business which is credible to them and advantageous to the race, as they have made better hotels and fairer rents possible and besides give employment to a large number of young men and women who would have trouble in securing similar positions. Now, as to Philip A. Payton, it is fail to say that he in a business genius and stands at the head of our real estate man and women. He knows how to make money in real estate, and he knows how to spend it like a business man and gentleman. He has another distinction, rare among Afro-Americans—be knows how to attend to his own business. He has his own way of doing business, and a great many people do not approve of it, but that proves nothing, except the time-honored rule that the honest business man can afford to disregard the criticism of people who would probably make a failure of his business if he should substitute their methods for his own. It is a fact that the housings open to Afro-Americans have grown better and better every year. That our "real estate barons" have done a great deal toward fetching about this good result no man in his senses and fair of mind will dispute. We should encourage our men and women in business all that we can, especially when they are attending strictly to business and improving conditions; of their clients as far as possible and under the trying circumstances, for the houses our "real estate barons" handle, for the most part, were not built by them or for Afro-Americans, and are handled by them as the best they can secure. And, too, real estate agents do not usually own the houses they handle; they simply act as agents for others. The National Domestic, published at Indianapolis by the Coachmen and Butler's Guide Company, is a credit to periodical literature, and fills a place all by its lonesome. It has entered upon its third volume, and THE AUR has pleasure in hoping that it may grow in health and prosperity. --- Mr. William Randolph Heath has found that he is not bigger than the Independence League, which he created with cash and enthusiasm, and that, instead of fussing with the Democratic party, he will have to stand up with the League as the nominee for Governor of New York and be counted strictly an the It. You can't always have what you buy, even after paying a royal price for it. But Mr. Heath is a real strong man and said some mighty good things in his address accepting the nomination for Governor. We are beginning to think better of him. --- We found this legend stuck upon many houses in Atlanta: "Sleepers Wanted," and we thought it very cute. Don't worry about your neighbor's affairs; worry about your own. --- The man who talks a great deal with the mouth usually has very little in his hair. --- Mr. Richard Leroy Stokes, associate editor of The Age, was elected Tuesday to the County Committee from the Ninth Assembly District, of which Aquaduct Commissioner John P. Windolph is leader. It is a hopeful sign for the race when young men of the ability and preparedness of Mr. Stokes take an active part in politics. The brilliant victory in Tuesday's primaries, of Mr. Gilchrist Stewart, the Afro-American leader of the 13th Assembly District, is one of far reaching importance. It means the nomination and probable election of Mr. Stewart. If he wins, he will be the first Afro-American Assemblyman elected in New York State—an election which would throw an unprecedented scare into our white numbers in the South. We congratulate Mr. Stewart upon his remarkable victory. --- We are bound to take note of the fact that Dr. White, the Georgia Baptist man, has awarded his admonition to the doctrine of Socialism, and advises Afro-Americans to line up with the labor forces on all questions, and not at this time consider this matter at length. It is full of pith and moment, but it is matter of grave moment that Socialism and Democratic government are incompatible. We have a democratic government, but we shall not have it long if the socialistic tendencies now at work are not stayed in their course by the wise forethought of the people. The National Afro-American Council will meet in annual convention in New York, October 6, 10, and 11, and there promise to meet in New York soon. Promises to be good, and the character of the thinking has always been high. --- The interference of the United States in the domestic affairs of Cuba has been looked forward to as a possibility by all of those Americans who think that Cuba should be a part of the United States. That the interference has come about is to be regretted. The President has sent a commission to Cuba to ascertain the facts of the situation, but that really means that the Palma government will be in touch with the truth is thoroughly discredited in the light of the urban people. We have a right to interfere in the affairs of Cuba when her people ask that they cannot govern their country or when the life and property of foreigners cannot be safeguarded by the government. It is not alleged that this condition of affairs has been reached; our interference at this time, therefore, is in the nature of an imprisonment. we have These men—with good intention, probably created only, but without thought and intelligence, have been exhibiting in a cage as they do in schools a small human dwarf from Africa and fairer Their idea, probably, was to incubate some preeminent leonars to evolution. As a matter of fact, the result achieved has been to hold up to, scorn the African race, which deserves at least sympathy and kindness from the whites of this country, after all the brutality it has suffered here. Instead of teaching the crowd around them how to take the higher view of humanity and the fortunate little stupid exhibition of the unfortunate little man being has simply added to our already large supply of race prejudice, of ignorant animosity. The protest against the brutal exhibition of it, but, it, but time-honored, an unfertunate and not at all representative people of Africa, should be put on exhibition under such shameful conditions. institute If the men who have the Zoological Garden in charge really want to do good let them spread ideas of decency, equality and justice among the crowds, that they attract. them, with pictures, or statues, or public lectures, give a real idea of some of the splendid men produced by the African race. Let them tell the crowds about that Afro-American, one of the greatest civil engineers and scientific minds of the country, chosen by the Government in its most important work of surveying long ago. Let them talk about the Afro-American Fred Douglass, a real statesman; or of the great French writer, Dumna, and his father—these were men of African blood, and great men Let them try to make the crowd of white people understand the great odds against which the African race has fought through the centuries. Let them show how the earth has relied upon these men of African blood to fight the most fierce animals, the most deadly serpents and kings, heat and fevers of the Equator. Let them show to the world how much of our civilization, how many of our religious-conceptions, owe it to the African people. Let them make men better by filling them with admiration for their fellow-creatures, even when different in color or in shape, rather than add to the foolish prejudice of which we have too much. As for the size and the looks of that poor little black pigmy locked up with the monkeys, his size is not his fault, and IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MBA INFERIORITY. Due to the greatest minds that has lived upon the earth was that of Epictetus, whose mind was in a body deformed dwarfish in a body suffered under slavery that had been deformed by the cruelty of a brutal master. Another white man whose body would not have compared any too favorably with that of the poor little man in the monkey cage was the great Pope, author of "The Essay on Man," one of the beat writers, one of the most marvellous thinkers and activists that our race has produced. It is shameful and disgusting that the momenture, the physical deficiency, of a human being, created by the same Force that put him on end and endowed with the same feelings and same soul, should be locked in a case with monkeys and be made a public mockery. It is an absolutely shameful disgrace to every man in any way connected with it, and this newspaper indores most earnestly the action of clergymen and others of the Afro-American race in protesting so vigorously against it. --- HOTEL BELLMEN'S DEFENSE To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: We, the undersigned committee, duly appointed by the Committee of Management, beg leave to state to the public and in justice to ourselves, that, after a fair and impartial investigation, the alleged disturbance at the 12th annual picnic of the Children's Beneficial Association on Tuesday, September 11, 1906, was not of such pretense as wide circulation of our daily papers through their misrepresentation would have the public believe. We admit that there was a casual disturbance, caused principally by a few of the special officers to preserve the peace becoming too officious to preserve by going to all persons they thought to be hilarious and threatening to club or throw them them off the ground. On two or three occasions the officers did not hesitate to show that they were prepared for all emergencies by a display of their巾帛. The officers could not have understood who were gathering of colored people who were not in pleasure in their own way or they were totally in competent to perform their duty. Another disturbing element was the their waiters employed at the park. These waiters persisted in making prices for everything served to suit themselves. If they dozen different tables during the evening was compared to play as many different games for the same service; but through it all we were able to maintain order until some one fired a revolver out in the grounds. This tiring acted as a signal to call all the special officers, who rushed pell mell the both hands with drawn revolvers, some of them fired. Of course a portion of the large assomblage followed to ascertain the cause, and as is usual in occurrences of this kind or three persons got hurt. But there was no riot and no occasion for the calling out of the regular police, as they frightened a large number of our patrons. Four of our patrons had been a disturbance of any kind. This association stands prepared to protect its fair name and fame against all traitors of its moral character, individually or collectively, and will make the following offer: We will give $3,000 to any church or charitable organization the applicant may name for proof positive of any of our patrons being clubbed out of the park by the police. Respectfully, W. O. MURKET, JAMBA C. DERNMAN, BERRY L. HIICK, PETER WILLIAMSON and JAMBET R. WRITE. L. J. Miller in The Voice of the Negro It is high time that we consider what the race is accomplishing toward supplying the increasing need of university trained men. It is unnecessary to discuss whether or not Afro-Americans are capable of receiving such training, for the attainment of Delbok, Barberough and others we could mention have proved that the brain of the Negro is capable of as given a development as the gray matter of any development. Hence, the important questions to certain how many young men and women of the race are availing themselves of this privilege. Nowhere has the natural ability of the race so manifested itself as in our educational advancement. It was 1865 before the race, as a whole, could dare avail itself of even A-B-C; training and, judging from the American standard, it would be 1885 before any Afro-Americans could be prepared to receive their college training of our intellectual capacities the brain power of the race has no advantage itself that to day every important American University ranks a Negro as one of its foremost graduates. Oberlin College has the triple distinction of being the first in point of colored graduates, the first in number of undergraduate and the first to grant the Bachelor of Arts degree to a Negro, George B. Vanon of the claim of 1848. Thus twenty years before the Emancipation Proclamation a Negro had received his A.B. degree from an American college. It is interesting to note that Mr. Vashon was a freeman and a citizen of Pennsylvania. After graduating he taught school in his native State; at the same time studying law with a prominent Pittsburgh lawyer. In a few years Mr. Vashon passed an examination for admittance to the bar of Pennsylvania but was not admitted because he was too back. He then sailed for Hayti and then passed an examination for admittance to Haytiian bar but again was refused because he was too white (a mulatto). Mr. Vashon returned to America where he accomplished much for the intellectual development of his mention this incident in the life of the first graduate to show that obstacles for the educated Negro are not a product of the twentieth century but are rapidly decreasing. The same Democratic spirit that characterised Oberlin in the sixties characterizes the Oberlin in to-day and her enrollment has steadily increased. At present she has 110 graduates, 62 undergraduates and 6 members of the class of 1900. Among her graduates are such scholarly men and women as the late John M. Langston, Prof. Scatborough, Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell and Miss Annie J. Cooper. Harvard, with her system of merit and high standard of scholarship, ranks as the foremost American University. Mr. Richard T. Greener, of the class of 1870, was the first member of the race to receive a degree from this institution. Since then, and the achievements of DuBois, Bruce and Duffy, Harvard has played an important part in educational training of the black man, there are twenty-four in attendance, 6 of whose received their degrees with this year's graduating classes. Eight of the eighteen registered at Yale are members of the class of 1900. This constitutes the largest number of Afro-Americans to graduate in the same year from any one of the American universities of Crawford and Pickens placed the name of Negro high among the Sons of Ell. The universities of Pennsylvania, and Columbia, situated as they are in two of America's largest cities with their great Negro populations, have few in attendance. The former with an enrollment over 3,000 has an attendance of 15, three members of the class of 1900. The latter has only three in attendance, and this reason has led to first-colored graduates. Mr. W. B. Willems of the department of electrical engineering and Mr. P. I. K. Seme, a Zulu, who distinguished himself by winning the George William Curtis oratorical prize. A large number of the smaller Eastern colleges far removed from the centers of the larger populations have a few registered. 5. Wesleyan 15. Dartmouth 6. Williams 5. Wesleyan 5.—one of this number is a member of the class of 1906—and Amherst 4. The western universities were established after a period of strife and for this reason the question of admitting Negroes was never discussed. Michigan ranks first among these, and as such naturally has the largest enrollment of Afro-Americans. Two of the eighteen new registered at this university are members of the class of 1906. The first colored student to receive a degree from the University of Chicago is Miss Cora Belle Jackson of the class of 1866. This institution now has seven colored graduates and eight undergraduates. Mr. L. Taylor of the class of 1903 was the first to receive a degree from Northwestern university. The remaining four graduates of this institution completed their courses with the class of 1903. There are now seven registered at this university, one a member of the class of 1906. Minnesota has always admitted Negro students. Mr. Andrew Franklin Hillier who received the degree Bachelor of Arts in 1882, was the first to receive a degree from this university. Since then six have humiliated us are now in attendance, both registered in department of the law. The same number are registered at the University of Wisconsin. The University of Illinois is a State institution organized in 1867 and the question as to whether or not colored men should be admitted has never been raised. W. W. Smith of the class of 1900 was the first to graduate from this university. These have been in attendance during the year. Four have completed their courses of study at Beloit college. The first was a member of the class of 1891. None are now in attendance in the college, but one is registered in the academy. Climatic conditions do not reard our intellectual development. for members of the race have received their degrees from the East Armoury of the Northeast and Michigan and the Fort Wayne Last April Mr. C. B. Carter of the class of 1905 graduated from the University of California in the extreme West. These disciplines encompass a wide have an enrollment of 551 laboratory numbers, of whom are members of the producing classes of 158. Twenty-three of the number in laboratory are registered in the various medical departments, 52 in the medical departments, 51 in the medical departments, 4 in the medical department 6 in the medical department 4 in the pharmaceutical departments and 151 in the various chemical departments. Twenty-eight of this number are from the State of Ohio, 21 from North Carolina, 20 from Alabama, 15 from the city of Washington, D. C., 14 from Georgia, 12 from South Carolina, 10 from Virginia, 6 from Massachusetts, 5 from Connecticut, 3 from the West Indies, 1 from Africa and the rest are from the remaining Southern and Central States. The average age ranges from twenty to twenty-four. Forty-six of the number enrolled are women. These facts show that the Southern Negro constitute by far the majority of the Afro-Americans studying in the leading American universities. On the other hand they show that the young women who live in the vicilities of these universities who have all the financial and educational advantages that accrue from these conditions form the minority. Take, for example, Oberlin, where only 12 of the 110 graduates and 2 of the 62 undergraduates are residents of Oberlin. Let him who for a moment doubts that there exists on the part of the Negro a strong determination to receive a higher number of training, consider this large number of students who leave their Southern homes to obtain the educational advantages of the North. We are doing well, but when we reflect that we constitute only 213 of the 40,000 students registered at these universities we see no reason why we cannot do better. Our opportunities are constantly enlarging and in its duty to see to it that our standards steadily increase. The moves of black boys who have entered college have scarcely enough money to pay their first tuition and yet graduated with high honors, show that financial conditions do not play the most important part in seeking a university training. The removing of the bar of prejudice so that our boys and girls could attend these universities gives us the one great advantage. The establishing of numerous secondary schools and colleges affords the opportunity to receive ample preparation for university study. Notwithstanding these facts it is often stated that university training is for the few. Aside from the falsity of such philosophy, judging from the numerical standard, not even this few are availing themselves of the privilege. ASSOCIATED PRESS SHOWN UP. From The Mound Bayou (Mina) Demonstrator. The colored man at Mound Bayou, as we see him, is not different in any essential particular from the colored man elsewhere. Yet in this immediate community there is a gratifying absence of the vicious tendencies, the criminality and the general natural depravity that have come about regarded as characteristic of the black iron character, if the Associated Press dispatched the marbling in the columns of the great daily paper, are to be relied upon as furnishing a venereal chronicle of current happenings. If a crime has been committed in almost any section of the South and the perpetrator is not apprehended, red handcuffs, the conclusion is at once jumped to the police to be in it, and the more heinous the crime, the more conclusive the general conviction. Now, just why this should be do not at once appear. But the longer and the more carnely one ponders over the situation the more firmly he is convinced that similar influences are at work and that the black man is not nearly as criminally blind as the picture that has been drawn as the picture seem to indicate. Aavice is one of the many incipients to crime in the long contendency of criminal motives. The Negro is not aware of exceptional temptation has been open to him here, from time to time in the history of the town for the commission of overt robbery with the prospect of immense personal gain and but slight hazard of detection. Yet no man was deserved of his goods at Mound Bayon. Time when there was no bank within miles of the town and timber operators were forced to carry and thimbled dollars on their unarmed and unprotected persons, to sleep without the protection of locks and bars and get surrounded only by those same "vicious" blacks, they have hain down to "vicious dreams" with a sense of absolute security and safety from molestation. No harm has ever approached one such at Mound Bayon woman alone, her color or nationality that may, is as absolutely safe from insult or attack at Mound Bayon at any time of day or night though she walked in the midst of soldiers. The series of white men who have had occasion to do business here will gladly testify to the truth of these statements. Since then, as herefore set out, there can be no essential difference in quality or character between the Negro at Mound Bayon and the Negro chosen in the family's reasonable inference is that in the daily every day an drawn by Associated Press picture of the black man's character is nationally overdrawn. It might be necessary in support of the contention herein indicated to state that the population of the Mound Bayon territory is cosmopolitan in character, including as it does men and women who have come from every point of the compass and from under the influence of all the grades of civilization in settlement, from the peonage-striken settlement, from the peonage-striken atmosphere of highly urban New England. Yet here has been found a common meeting ground where each in his own distinctive sphere and manner strives with the other to work out a common glorious destiny. Silva Jackson's New York RICHMOND, September 17.—Col Gilead B. Jackson, director general of the Jamestown Negro Development and Exposition Company, has been a busy man all summer. He has attended the major portion of the Afro-American conventions which have assembled in different parts of the country, and has addressed them in the interest of the Negro community at the Jamestown Exposition. Everywhere he has met with marked success, and indications point to a highly creditable exhibit.

Its foundation is laid merely and broadly, and from the bottom upwards there is a well graded structure, terminating in what M. A. British emmany in Berlin, in what his official reports, can be called "stone to business education" as a whole," namely, the two most高级 high schools or, rather, universities. Neither England nor France, Germany's chief commercial rivals in Europe, has remained idle in this matter while Germany has been forging to the head. In both these countries much has been done in emulation of the Empire, and the results attained by them must not be minimized. But there is, as intimated above, this difference: England's efforts to atone for a century of educational neglect are, as yet, trained nor as uniform type, producing hapless and uneven results; and the defence of commercial and technical education has a fine apex but an indifferent connecting substructure. As regards this country, there is rather a striking resemblance with England in this respect. But let us guard against a very wide spread error. It is not true that Germany's amazing rise, during the past score of years, as a great commercial and industrial World Power is due to, and was preceded by, this thorough. Intellectual training of her sons. In a British Foreign Office report, of November, 1897, on "Commercial Education in Germany," this statement is made: "The commercial success of the German nation is not the outcome of commercial education; the latter is rather the spring of that success. The offspring of that success are the outcomes of Commerce to the immense value of commercial education for a commercial people. Therefore, the wonderful increase of commercial schools is a result, and not one of the sources, of the trade of commerce. The state of mercantile education was not a very high one." This statement is borne out by the facts. The commercial affair, so to speak, came first and was eminently effective for divers reasons; the specialized instruction, to fit the young generation for those novel and strenuous, but more favorable, conditions came afterwards. Synchronous, however, with the rapid growth of special technical and commercial schools has been the even more rapid increase in Germany's foreign trade and in her manufacturing development. For, since 1887, from which dates this educational enterprise, the foreign trade of Germany has more than doubled. Then, the incidental proof is strong that, with a new educational armor of greater efficiency, the initial success has not only been maintained against the competition of the world, but that it has been further accelerated. It will repay the trouble to examine somewhat in detail this wonderfully homogeneous system of Germany's specialised schools. At present, there are in active operation within the Empire 9 technical high schools, 3 mining academies, 4 commercial high schools, and 387 middle and lower grade, industrial, technical, and commercial schools and colleges, 530 of the latter being public and 51 private. These institutions are pretty thoroughly scattered all over Germany. There are 297 of them familiar with her 38 millions, four million population, can boast of four million population, can boast of more than 121 of which 64 are commercial schools). Saxony, indeed, takes the lead in this development, the first efficient institutions of the kind having been founded by her Government. Now, these middle and lower grade schools are of the most varied character and aims, and we find in Bavaria, for instance, no fewer than six public schools aided by the state government, in which wood-carving and wood-sculpture are taught, and others where instruction in pottery, glass-making, drawing, spinning, etc., is imparted, while also and elsewhere special institutions exist for brewers in Munich being the best in the world, pupils coming to it all the way from Australia, Australia, Russia, even from China and Japan). face makers, tailors and cutters, flour and saw millers, stone-cutters, masons, photographers, lithographers, hanker-weavers, sailors, ship-builders, millers and modifiers, textile workers, etc. About one half the total number, though, are commercial schools of various grades. Generally speaking, the aim of the higher-grade technical school is the firing of managers, technical directors, and owners of large establishments, and of owners agents, etc., of smaller ones. Pupils on entering must possess a form of theoretical knowledge about applying that of graduates of our best high schools or smaller colleges. In addition to the imparting of further book knowledge, is the practical training in shops, laboratories, or experimental situations, usually connected with the institution itself. The average duration of the courses is three years. The lower-grade schools purpose turning out young men efficient enough to become lower officers and higher employees in large establishments of foremen and master mechanics and of future owners or partners in small technical or industrial workshops. Apart from these schools and not included in the number given above, are the so-called Fortbildungschulen, or commercial and technical continuation schools. Of these there is one in almost every town of any size, and their proximate is to give apprentices, while learning their trade, an opportunity to acquire use theoretical knowledge in various scientific languages, which enable them to rise eventually in the of their work. The focus to be paid uniformly small, not exceeding 50 or marks per annum (about 12 to 21), and in many cases they are relied on or wholly omitted. It has been most expedient to give the lessons in the early morning, from seven (before, business hours), or afternoon between two or three letters, the consent of the must be obtained, and is scored withheld. This type of school house, a good deal according to elemmenmen. Then, some of them are maintained by the office of the body of these beneficient. This is the case in Hamburg, where the Verein für Bundesgemeinschaft (Electricity of Commercial Gear) wholly pays for the upholding of a continuation school, in which six modern languages are taught, namely, Danish, Russian, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. The average course of these schools lasts three years, colecting with other the courses of appraisal, but only the course of English on Saturday and Sundays are free from lessons. With many thousands of German lads these schools afford the only chance to fit themselves for better paid work. A fair showing of what the higher grade commercial school teaches is furnished by the curriculum of the institute at Leipzig, as follows: First Second Third Year. Year. Year. German 4 3 3 English 5 4 3 French 5 4 3 Mathematics 3 3 3 Mercantile arithmetic. 5 3 2 Physics 3 2 2 Technology ..... 2 Chemistry ..... 2 Study of commodities ..... 1 Geography 2 2 2 History 2 2 2 Commercial science ..... 2 Counting-house work ..... 2 Correspondence ..... 2 Bookkeeping ..... 2 Political economy ..... 2 Drawing 2 2 Gymnastics 2 2 Lessons per week. 33 38 31 Non-obligatory Subjects. Italian ..... 2 2 Shorband 2 1 1 It will be noticed in this list that the use of the typewriter forms no part of this curriculum at all, and that a shorthand is optional, whereas in this country, for example, both these accomplishments would be considered as indispensable to a thorough modern business education. The typewriter, however, is not yet a very popular instrument in Germany, and the more lourisely business typewriters are used, the use of anthorand. The aim is, quite evidently, to give a thorough all-around education to the embryo merchant, with such special knowledge as he will require some time in the future. Hence the great emphasis on modern languages, history, geography, chemistry, physics, drawing. Tuition fees are low at all German schools and universities; for the higher and lower grade technical and commercial schools they average between twenty and forty-five dollars; these fees are not sufficient to maintain the schools, nearly all of which are in the enjoyment of certain endowment funds, as well as of state or municipal aid. After graduating from one of these lower technical schools or else, more commonly, on completing the course of nine years at one of the "gymnasiums" (colleges), "real-gymnasiums" (colleges where more attention is paid to modern languages, physics, chemistry, etc.), or "real-schools" (colleges wherein classical are not taught at the high schools or real high schools. There are nine of them, respectively at Berlin, Dresden, Brunswick, Aix-la-Chapelle, Darmstadt, Hannover, Karlsruhe, Munich and Stuttgart. Together, these institutions have an average annual attendance of about 20,000, whereof Berlin has 4,464, Munich 3,226, Karlsruhe 2,157, Hannover 2,095, etc. Diplomas are granted (after an average three or four years) course and a successful final examination). The university offers mechanical engineering, electrotechnics, industrial and administrative engineering, surveying, forestry, or in several of these branches at once. The title of "Diplom-Ingenieur" is conferred upon those who have shown themselves possessed of a sufficient scientific grounding to enter their school field with some distinction. Since 1899, the centenary of the Berlin institution, by authority of the Kaiser institution, high authority of the German university, the degree of "Diplom-Ingenieur" to those graduates who, on their research in a d腹部 embody original research, have proved themselves worthy of it. In Bavaria, the degree thus acquired is called "Doctor of Technical Sciences." The social life of these technical high schools is closely modelled after that at the German universities. The average cost of a three years' course at the university is $1,500 with the greater tenure inclining toward the first-named figure, which would make the average individual expense (everything included) about $200 per annum. Between 20 and 25 per cent. of the attending students are foreigners, Russians furnishing the largest quota, with English speaking students next in number. A special field is covered by the high schools and academies for mining (3, situated respectively, in Berlin, Clausal, and Freiberg), forestry (5, respectively, in Munden, Eberswalde, Tharand, Aschaffenburg, Eisenach), agriculture (4, located, respectively, in Berlin, Bom, Hohenheim and Weihenstephan, ininary surgery (5, in Berlin, Hannover, in applied art (13, of which three are in Berlin, and one each in Dusseldorf, Casel, Konigberg, Munich, Dünsch, Breden, Frankfort-on-Main, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Weimar). However, of greatest interest, doubtless, are the new commercial high schools, because they express most clearly the latest phase of this educational development as well as the strongest longing of the material side of the German modern mind, the longing for commercial hegemony. The movement for the establishment of these institutions can be traced, in its first beginnings, to 1879. At the head of it at that time was the later Gustav von Meydenbach, who possessive for the industry" in the Rhine district. However, the first commercial high school was the one in Leipzig, founded late in 1808, and this was followed, a year or two later, by others started in Cologne. Frankfort on Male, and Alix-ha-Chapelle. At present, the success of the first three named in firmly enough grounded to show that institutions of this kind will be an important factor hereafter in accounting for German aspirations. The establishment institutions at Berlin, Bentock, Hamburg, Hamburg and Dumielder is under consideration. The earliest, the one at Leipzig, began with an attendance of 65, of which 20 were foreigners. The attendance had grown by 1904 to 561, of whom 298 were German. 263 foreigners. The noted Pro- fessor Hermann Raydt has been its rector in his prospectus he states the aim to be: "(1) To give to young men who already posses a certain degree of mental maturity, a wide and thorough general and commercial culture; "(2) To give to professors and teachers already instructing in commercial schools, an excellent and perfect otherwise theoretically and practically in any particular branch." Among those admitted as hearers to lectures are students of Leipzig University. A very large percentage of the attendants, however, is drawn from among teachers and professors as well as graduates of other institutions. The principal subjects taught are theoretical and practical political economy, including coinage, weights, measures, banking and stock exchange business, commercial politics, commercial statistics, credits, transportation, and insurance; the science of finances, including taxation, public credit, and customs duties; knowledge of substances of goods and technology; commercial geography, economic history, general law knowledge, commercial law, law of exchange, and maritime law, law of bankruptcy, international law, colonial policy, etc. Eight modern languages may be studied in more advanced stages. The institution at Cologne, inaugurated in 1900, is similar in scope to the one in Leipzig. Its attendance is now about 1,100, whereof, however, only about 300 are matriculated, while the remainder are mere auditors, even women being admitted on certain conditions. The school in Cologne came into being on the strength of founders and members of about 500,000 marketed by Mayer and Mayer, the municipal government of Cologne contributes annually a sum of $10,000 or more. A year later, in 1901, the Academy of Social and Commercial Sciences was started at Frankfort-on-Main. This institution is somewhat different in scope, being intended to benefit not only persons in commercial pursuits, but also administrators and other employees. An endowment fund of 2,000,000 marks from the K. C. Jugel estate, as well as smaller bequests and municipal aid, largely pay expenses. The curriculum is nearly the same as the Leipzig institution, and the attendance is at present about 500. The institution at Alkeberg probably being now in imminent contact is a boorish condition, and will are long probably be merged in the other. One feature is common to all these commercial high schools. The students are taught how to think independently for themselves. They have taken the word of Goethe for, motto: "Ich wusste nicht, wessen großer grosser und gebildeter musste als der Geist ames schten Kaufmann" ("I do not know whose mind ought to be larger and more cultured than my own"), and that is why French author X. Toruana-Blake, later wrote, in the "Rerve de Paris" that "the structure of technical education in Germany is complete from the bottom up" that is its great superiority." But there are many volces in Germany himself lifted up against this theoretical excellence. A number of German authorities of the first rank, among them Professor Fick, claim that an organized attempt to teach commerce theoretically in all its branches, from the lowest to the highest, has more value than good in the industry. The German authorities are born, not artificially trained. There may be something in this view of the case, and details are not lacking to incline the impartial observer to the belief that, for many ambitious and able young men, the over-burdening of the head with formularl and cut-and-dried theory about trade and industry means to rob them of much of their initiative and originality of mind. But then, say the defenders of this thorough system of drilling, the students visiting the field, must be small percentage of the German (and foreign) youth who annually turn to mercantile pursuits as their chosen field. Largely these young men are the sons of wealth or well-do merchants, manufacturers, ship owners; and the higher point of view they are taught to take in respect of trade, by means of these special studies, the wider horizon that opens for their minds, will do much hereafter for them when they themselves come to assume the much of affair they have. At any rate, it will be interesting to watch events and to note whether the friends of these new institutions have predicted aright. There is a general opinion abroad that Germania, as a nation, are inclined to attach too much weight to purely theoretical knowledge. Still, there is no denying that the schoolmaster was the victor both at Sadow and Sedan, and that the better theoretical equipment of the young German merchant, manufacturers and industrialists in good stead during the last two decades in overcoming all the natural disadvantages of soil and climate of their country in the open-to-all race for the capture of the world's trade. As an illustration of this, perhaps, it deserves mention that we on this side of the water, though usually showing but scant respect for theoretical aids to trade, first adapted one such aid to the uses of our growing foreign commerce. I refer to the Commercial Museum at Philadelphia, a model institution which the Germans made haste to imitate at once. Every American export manufacturer and trader admits the immense benefit which this admirable museum has to nation in large. Similar museums now exist in a half dozen of the industrial centers of Germany, and together they are doing much to help the nation in its dealings with foreign customers. These museums, too, might be called so many schools. Alert to Opportunities in Chicago's Mixed Institutions Special Correspondence of The Acm. CHICAGO, September 15—The fall opening of the public schools of Chicago with their 300,000 children brings into striking notice the ever-increasing number of Afro-American children who must intermingle with older and kinds of nationalities. There was a time in Chicago Afro-American pupils were so few as to attract no attention and to suggest no problem. Now it is wonderfully different. The number is so large in some of the schools as to leave the impression of separate schools. While under the law of the State of Illinois there can be no such thing as separate schools, the increased American population is already provoked and threats that legal separation is a remote possibility. The causes for this half-suppressed agitation for separate schools are interesting and aptly illustrative of the general principle that matters on the part of Afro-American children, for at least, irritation and concern on the part of the white people. Our every step forward is at the cost of some form of humiliating friction. So long as the Afro-American people could be segregated, an easy solution of the problem was to bunch all, or nearly all, of them into one or to transfer their children to schools beyond the districts in which they lived, but in white neighborhoods. This plan worked all right for a white, and was very satisfactory to white parents, but the Afro-American were not willing to be so segregated. There began to be a wave of their beer classes into some of the host resident districts, which three or four years ago were exclusively white. Nothing in the progressive life of the Afro-American people of this city is more interesting than the way they have successfully outwitted and confounded the real estate dealer who made it forewarnable for them to the invisible line they had made for them. The school located in these heretofore exclusively white districts were wholly free from the invasion of Afro-American pupils. How different to-day! There is not a school east of State street that is not complaining of the crowding in of Afro-American children. The worst of it is that there seems to be no colorado. If colored boys of buying where money will burry and living wherever they can afford to live, there is no remedy but burrender to the inevitable. Some of these schools that formerly had not a single Afro-American, now have from five to one hundred at least. This, too, is not the worst of it, for these children have the habit of taking many of the prizes and medals as rewards of real success. I told that the Wendell Phillips high school as many as two hundred Afro-American students. In all the other city high schools may be found a fair number of them. It can also be said that the Afro-American people of the city show that they appreciate their school privileges. Not a few of those who have come to Chicago within the past ten years have come here for the epress purpose of giving to their children the school advantages the city affords. I do not believe that there is a city in this country where the average intelligence of young Afro-American is higher than it can be expected of the mixed school system can be studied here, in Chicago better than in any other city. It can be said, for example, that there is less race friction and that the white and Afro-American children get along fairly well. If there be occasional disturbances, it is largely due to parents who advise their children to keep away from the Afro-Americans, while the Afro-American parents endeavor to make their children feel that teacher and pupil are prejudiced against them on account of their color. And while the Afro-American and white children have been together for years the relationship is much more cordial than in the districts that have more recently become invaded by colored pupils. In studying the conduct of the city-born Afro-American children and those who have recently come from the South, there is revealed an interesting difference. The city-born child has inherited a spirit of freedom, independence and sham. He is neither afraid nor proud of being noticed by the white pupils. He is always, forcing his white fellow-students into situations that bring them together in a way that fosters comradeship. To him the matter of being white has more of a role than a responsibility. He is able to fight or not to face the case demands. In short, the Afro-American boys and girls in the mid schools are less intimidated and less concerned about their color than any set of grown-up Afro-American people in the country. Not so with the children who have just come into our free schools from the caster-ridden sections of the South. I have had an opportunity to watch and study these timid little recruits from our school, growing out of their inherited reverence for a white completion is very pathetic. They segregate themselves. There is little or no spirit of self-assertion. A very bright little girl, from Kentucky who had succeeded in keeping at the head of all of her classes and counted as the brightest person in the school, rounded when a white girl solicited her assistance in working out some difficult problem. The diocese that to be white was not to be superior in everything caused her to readjust her all preoccupied notions of completion values. It is to be hoped that the poor girl is forced upon all the Afro-American children of the South. However, that may be. It is quite evident that, mixed schools will do more to foster pride of self-assertion among our young people than any other MANY MAKING GOOD IN THE PHILIPPINES Number of Afro-Americans Getting Rich-A.Race Riot fears at work, to communicate the effect of prejudice. If the antigamism themselves would regard it a moral duty and responsibility to be that used to their purpose, should he be asked to explain on the one side or trialiness on the other, it would go far toward making our schools what they should be, the best expenses of true democracy that can be found anywhere. FANNIE BARNER WILLIAMS. MRS. WILLIAMS ON TILLMAK. Uphandde Chicago for Leviting Him to Speak There. Mr. Fannie Barrier Williams, the able Chicago correspondent of THE AGR, has written the following letter to The Chicago News agent the Forebred visit of Pitchford, Tillman to Chicago to lecture next winter: "Public announcement has been made that Senator Tillman of South Carolina has been accured to deliver a lecture in Orchestra hall in this city next November. The proceeds from this lecture are to be used for the benefit of a Chicago school. The lecture is to be 'The Race Problem in the South.' There is not a citizen of the colored race in Chicago who does not feel humiliated and hurt on reading this announcement. It simply means that the management of this hospital, in order to raise money for the proper care and comfort of the sick and unfortunate white people, have called the South Carolina Senator to Chicago to deliver his well-known tilt in a manner against the Negro race in a manner to make the life of 'every colored man' child in Chicago more miserable than it already is. "This South Carolina Senator believes that when a Negro is accused of crime he becomes an outlaw and should not have the benefits of a court, but should be lynched without judge or jury. He believes that it is a waste of money to educate a Negro child; he believes, and so declares, that there is no virtue in a colored woman; he believes that no colored man, however intelligent or good, allowed to exercise the right of franchise in the creation of a public sentiment in confine every Negro in America to the stratum of our social system. In fact, there is no public man in this country who has said and done more false and vicious things against the colored people of this country than Senator Tillman. "So it amounts to this, that the trustees of this new hospital building have deliberately gone into the business of coining money out of race hatred in the name of race equality," she wrote. "Good trustees would not have asked the South Carolina Senator to deliver a lecture on the 'Railroad Rate Bill,' on Shakespeare, the Moral Awakening of the American People, or 'Pleas for More Righteousness in Civic Life.' Why? Before in the discussion of such themes he would be less interesting and less sensational. "It is because, figuratively speaking, the South Carolina Senator wields a 'pitchfork' and has gained a reputation at the most violent Negro hater in American politics that he has been selected to come to Chicago to speak in the name of all that is gentle and Christlike. In it the purpose of these trustees to add to their building fund by bringing to a Chicago platform from time to time, some distinguished Russian to talk against the Jews, or some gilent lory of England or against a fellow Irish probably not, because the Jewish and Irish people have powerful connections and influences that would not tolerate anything no second-doubt. It is because the Negro people are weak in defense that these hospital managers feel safe in trying to make money by holding them up to ridicule and the contempt of mankind. "The thing is most unseemly and anomalous and a sad commentary on what passes for Christian charity. There is no use railing against Senator Tillman, because he is what he is and makes no pretense of being better than he is. But we have a profound pity for the men and women who, as sponsors for the hospital, have been given the conscience, lay their hands on money gained at the cost of so much suffering by people who are constantly striving to deserve well of their fellow men." From The Southwestern Christian Advocate. Your correspondent has just returned from Jolo Jolo, where a month was spent in that interesting place; not but a few hours' walk from Mount Djao. During conversation with a Moro datto, the question of racial origin of the Filipino people was discussed. The datto read from a history written in Arabic, in the fourth century, showing the Philippine and South Sea Islands to have been settled by Africans—the racial root of the present Filipino people. It is not intended that this reference should insult Afro-Americans, for it is in the Filipino, taking grade for grade; yet the Filipino has hard schools and colleges open to him since the 15th century. The Negroes of the State of Georgia alone can buy the entire Philippine Islands, that is, they have money and property enough with which to do it; it would be a glorious thing if they would. This is a fine field for the better element of North American Negroes. For example, take William Hawkins, from Kansas. He came out here as a captain in one of the colored regiments of our Nation's army. He resigned from the army, married a native lady, began practicing law, buying land and cattle; to-day he owns twelve thousand acres of river-bottom land, grazing upon a part of which can be seen great droves of fine Australian cattle to the round number of seventeen hundred head. There is Dr. Warmalsky ex captain and assistant surgeon, U. S. Army. He is the city physician of Tinguagara, druggist and former. Another example is Major John W. Brown of Yndang. He, too, was a captain of the army. It is said that he is one of the best executives the town of Yndang has had. Again, here Bough, of Albay, a druggist and financier.

The woman farmer is not yet so common as not to be an object of considerable interest to the public. Nevertheless, there is a large class of women farmers in the South that has escaped attention. The Mayeville Educational and Industrial Institute, a school for Negro boys and girls at Mayeville, S. C., is turning them out by the score every year, and they make splendid farmers. Agriculture is a regular part of the curriculum here, and the girls do everything that the boys do except ploughing. They love it, too, and when they go home they revolutionise the methods of farming employed by their fathers and brothers. The principal of the institute, Miss Emma J. Wilson, who is now in New York, is a medical farmer, and her greatest desire is the farmers' conference, which meets at Mayville every year, and to which the Negro people come from far and near. Miss Wilson is the president of the conference, and the most expert of the farmers acknowledge her their mistress. Miss Wilson does not know, how she can be to such a good farmer. She supposes that must be naturally learned. For never learned. She began her agricultural and pedagogical career at the same time, on her return from Scotia Seminary. "When I came back to our poor little cabin," she told a Tribune Farmer reporter, "I was ashamed of it. I told my mother that I wished we had a nice place to live in, and she said we could not afford anything better. I didn't believe that, so I went to work to cultivate the land. I saw that I got more land, and before long I was able to build a house. I carried on the faith for six years, but by that time more than five hundred families and hemp farmers. One family alone pays him two hundred pesos ($100) as a regular monthly salary. He himself is a hemp farmer. Mr. Somersille, the secretary to the Governor at Albury, is a practicing attorney. The legal advisers and representatives of the Chinese merchants of the Cagayan Valley (and there are no other merchants there) is the firm of Hawkins and Harvey. Lawyer Harvey is an alumnus of the University of Kansas and an ex-captain in the colored American segment of the Southern American. Another rich American colored man in this part of the world is Mr. Curtis, of Borgeo. His interests in pearl fisheries of Borneo and Jolo are obviously profitable. Inasmuch as the American government is to hold these islands, I would earnly urge the True Reformers of Virginia to open a branch bank and loan office in Albay province, here in the Philippines. The American banking system can be used here. The peas and other subsidiary coin is reckoned on the same principle as "United States money." With one of that firm's lieutenants as the manager of this bank and some Afro-American with a fairly good Spanish education, the success of the bank would be assured. As to the African Methodist churches of the United States, it seems that they are letting a worth cause be immediated by their missionaries out here to work among the aboriginal Filipinos—the Negrios. They are of a kind nature. It seems that the other churches care little or nothing for these people; or it may be that their work with semi civilized natives renders it impracticable for work to be carried into the mountain tribes. In my travels I have found that Africa is not only in Africa and America but in many parts of Asia. What the home government will ever my school was taking so much of my time that I had to give it up. "The school I started at the same time as I did the farm. I expected eventually become a missionary, but I saw that this was not the case. I decided to do it while I wished, never saw the time, however, when I was ready to give it up. I began with ten pupils in a shed, and for years no one ever knew where to find us, for the reason that we were always moving. We could get quarters rent free, and sometimes fitted in the evening that we must move next day. But I never closed the doors for a day, and from 1882 to 1886 I carried on the work alone. Then we had a chance to get a house and a farm of sixty-seven acres, and a little more, we were incorporated as the Mayerville Educational and Industrial Institute." It is a good thing for the institute that it has a farmer for its principal, for it has never attracted the attention of any wealthy philanthropist and the farm goes a long way toward paying its share of the expenses and an amount of education to the pupil. The annual expenses last year were only $2,600, and this paid. Hard to Corner Supreme Court. Form of the Court Code Rule 101. From The Springfield Republican. The National Aft-American Council is planning to raise $50,000 for the purpose of making up a case against the disfranchisement acts of Southern States and having their constitutionality rested in the State Supreme Court. This is good idea, but we are observed that the Supreme Court ready had a chance to pass upon the question without going at all out of the way, and dodged it very skillfully. It will be a comparatively easy matter to get a case before the court; the difficulty will come in so presenting it as to close all avenues except the one leading to a decision on the 'broad question at issue. make of the Filipinos is a question no sane man or ever can answer. A boycott has been started on the English language taught to Filipinos. The leading Filipino paper, *El Renacimiento* (The Newborn) is leading the attack. *The Atlanta Constitution* of the Philippines is the same kind of politics. The Constitution notes against the Negro—their women. The Filipino press prays to the native women to spurn every young man of their race who speaks English to them. The first race riot of the Philippines started in the botanical gardens the other evening, between Americans and Filipinos, during the evening band concert. One of the American Manila papers charges the Filipino police with aiding the native rioters. A native paper charges the white policemen with joining the wican rioters. Your correspondent addresses the concert on that evening. From what can be learned the White Americans precipitated the riot. A correspondent of The Manila Times writes on the riot as follows: "I was there and saw it. It started like this: Quite a number of Filipino women were grouped in one part of the garden listening to the band concert, when several young white men began making overtures to them in the following manner: 'She's a beast; she can sleep under my blanket.' With these and war sayings, the correspondent says, "the young white men pose to the lading of several Filipino men, whom it was seen understood the indecent re-creation of the young white men and asked him what he meant by insulting 'Filipino ladies.' From this blow were struck, and in the row natives turned on white men and vice versa. So it is with the first race riot under the American flag, ten thousand miles from Georgia—the heart of race prejudice and much the cause of it being in the Philippines. Mrs. G. H.

Has Degenerated Itate a "Flip" Trust— How to Uplift It. From The Atlanta Independent. The question is often asked politically, is the Republican party in the State a desirable candidate for the presidency? Best way in our opinion to judge an individual or party is by his or their record for usefulness in the community or country where they exist. Then the Republican party must be judged by its record or the things it has accomplished in the State. It must stand or fall upon the merits of its contribution to the State's greatness. The party in the State has about forty years of record to stand upon. What it has accomplished in that time is a blank book. We belong to the party, but in the interest of truth we must plead guilty to being a destructive abolitionist standing for nothing but graft. There is not one thing standing to our credit during the last thirty years of our existence. All that is left us is a boss-ridden machine which is falling to pieces with the weight of its own worthlessness. The people of the State have neither respect, nor confidence in the machine. It is generally believed that the men who are in charge of the machine have neither the patriotism nor capacity to lead a constructive political organisation. It is openly charged from every quarter that the present machine in Georgia is an obstruction to party development. There are little men in the State who would enter the party and politic and vigor into it if the present management would step aside and give the opportunity. The Independent believes these people ought to be given an opportunity. If, in forty years, we cannot have at least one representative in the legislature, or Congress, then why should we longer lead or exist? If, in two score years of endeavor we cannot show one thing tangible to our credit, why should we continue to demand recognition? The Republican party was not instituted for the purpose of distributing "ple." The party was not instituted for the purpose of promoting personal ends and graft. The party is not instituted for the purpose of promoting the general welfare itself when it becomes destructive of these just ends, it has forfeited its right to claim the support of the people, and it ought to be put to death. The Republican masses in the State will never be able to accomplish anything helpful or substantial until they free themselves from the clutches of a heartless machine. The fight that we must first make, is for freedom from the party yoke. We will not be able to fight Hoke Smith's disfranchising scheme if we do not overthrow the bosses who now dominate the party for personal gain. The slogan will soon go out, "Register! Register for what? Why should we lose time from our shops, plows and employment to register, if we have State or National officers to vote for them, what is the necessity of registering? If we are not going to contribute anything substantial or helpful to the party, why should we be allowed to go to the National convention and dictate who shall be the nominees of the party? The time has come when the party should stand, for something or go out of business. Secretary Taft said in his Greenboro, N. C. speech, that every office in the South should be given to Democrats. The more we think about his proposition, and boil it down, to its last analysis, the nearer we agree with him. If the Democrats stand for everything helpful and constructive in the political equation of the South, and contribute funneling to the national life politically speaking, by what reason do we reach the conclusion that they should not enjoy the emoluments of their genius and statesmanship? If the Negro stands for nothog, represents nothing and contributes nothing to the National growth, upon what does he base his claims to control the intelligence and wealth of the section? If the Republican party cannot elect one officer in the commonwealth, why should it exist? If the people, their neighbors who know them best will not place one public trust in their care, why should a President come into the community and impose trust upon the community already rendered to the people who work and contribute to the National party? It is evident that the influence which dominates the Republican party in the State is obstructively opposed to party growth. An influx of intelligence into the party is feuded and opposed as if it was foreign force. It is feared far more than the Democratic party, for the party often plays second fiddle to Democracy in order to keep down party prosperity.

Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. Some have said that the Afro-American cannot survive and successfully compete with the steady invasion of his fields of labor by the foreign elements that are peculiarly adapted to certain occupations. But the Afro-American is coming up to the test of the survival of the fittest, and Mr. J. W. Carter has demonstrated the fact that the Afro-American is not being relegated among the primitive chefs. Mr. Carter has for eighteen years been a private car chef. He left the private car of Mr. C. E. Perkins, president of the C. B. & Q. R. R., to become chef for Mr. Chas. M. Schwab's private car. As a proof of worth and ability always to keep oneself intelligently prepared to meet the demands of a progressive age, the subject's five years' service in Mr. Schwab's employ is sufficient proof. party bus narrowed down to a "pie" trust just large enough to pass around the plate. Things are now taking shape to control the convention in 1905 to elect delegates to the National Convention. The same old parcel out has been decided upon and it is up to those who believe in the principles of the party to swallow the dose or rise in their might and expel those who dominate the machine. The cry of "illy whiteism" will no longer frighten honest black men from their duty until the plunderers can walk off with the "pie". It is time to fight but fight inside the party organization. We will be in no shape to oppose distranchissement in 1908, or whenever Hoke Smith and Tom Orwell order a vote, if we do not build up effective organization. This cannot be done no long as the organization is in the hands of Federal officers entirely. The people who love the party and do not live on it must have an opportunity to do something. The power is in our hands and we have but to exercise it. There are some good men in the organization, and this editorial does not apply to them. We are after the bosses and their pliant tools who bark and jump every time the machine says "seek," and pops the whip. The question is up to the masses to answer: "Shall the party be a constructive or a destructive force?" ... ROOSEVELT GLAD FLEMING'S SPEECH WILL BE PUBLISHED Any Profits Will Go to Hampton and Tunkergee Institutes. Dana Eates, the publisher, will issue speedily the recent speech of ex-Congressman Fleming of Georgia, upon the race problem, insisting that Afro-Americans must be treated honestly. President Roosevelt has written the following letter, which will be printed in the pamphlet: Dear Mr. Eates, I am glad that you are to publish ex-Congressman Fleming's noteworthy speech in more permanent form such speeches; and it seems to me entirely appropriate that you should devote any profits that may come from the publication to the Tunkergee and Hampton Institutes for its fearlessness, its sanity, and the high purpose which it shows. The problems of any one part of our great common country, the Tunkergee and Hampton Institutes, are the problem of all our country—at least in part—the people should give their hearty and respectful sympathy to those who, in their own neighborhood, are trying to solve their locality, we have our own special and difficulties; and when a brave and honest man does good work in meeting the particular difficulties of his own region, he not only does good work in example and influence he helps Americans in part of our great commonwealth manly to grapple with the various evils which they, in their turn, have to strive against. Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROGERVELT. Mr. Eates is, so impressed with the public importance of Mr. Fleming's argument, our best treatment for the Afro-Americans, to which he offers the pamphlet at the cost of the medical part to show who will help distribute a large number of them in Georgia. Killed by an Automobile. Bordentown, N. J. September 16.—John Robinson, an Afro-American orphan boy of 14, was struck and killed by an automobile on the outskirts of Bordentown this morning. The boy was found by a police officer Trenson who hirled an automobile going from Bordentown, owned and driven by J. B. Keilman of 1250 Hancock street, Brooklyn, N. Y., and brought the boy to Bordentown. The boy lived with Irving Watson on the outskirts of Bordentown. The auto that hit Robinson did not stop. Mr. Carter has worked seahollywood for the success of the Progressive Lodge, No. 85, of the I. B. P. O. of Tilts of the World.

GEORGIA BIDS FOR SCOTCH " GIRLS AS DOMESTIC SERVANTS Concerted Campaign: All Over State to Oust Afro-American. ALBANY, Ga., September 12.—A concerted effort on the part of the business interests of Albany is to be made at once to bring white domestic help to this city, and as many other towns in this part of the country to be involved in the movement will be enlisted. Such was the programme outlined at last night's meeting of the Albany Business League, which was largely attended. The league is already in correspondence with immigration agents who are prepared to bring a large colony of Scotch people to Albany, and an effort will be made to supply the workers for assignments of these domestics. The league already has a large number of applications on file. ROOSEVELT WANTS INDUSTRIAL TRAINING FOR WHITE CHILDREN Most Will Do Manual Work and Should Be Trained for It. WASHINGTON, September 13.—The Board of Education of the District of Columbia has received a letter from William Loeb, Jr., Secretary to President Roosevelt, in which he expresses for the President some views on the education of children; in which he expresses for the President some views on the education of children; in which he expresses for the President may wish to refer to educational matters in the District of Columbia in his annual message to Congress he will be greatly obliged for any comments the board may care to make on the enclosed report of J. B. Reynolds. "The President is especially interested in that part in which Mr. Reynolds speaks of the need of industrial training. The President cordially agrees with Mr. Reynolds's statement that children who pursue exclusively literary and semitilient studies little inclined to manual labor and are not equipped for most of these children are forced to this labor, which they in consequence undertake unwillingly, without possessing either pride or skill in their work." WILLIAMS AND WALKER GET INJUNCTION AGAINST MANAGER Court Commands Raymond Not to Interfere With "Abysalate." An order was signed in the United States Circuit Court by Judge Lough Thursday restraining Melville B. Raymond, a theatrical manager, his agents or employees from interfering with the future performance of the Williams & Walker Company. An action was begun in the Federal Courts on Tuesday by Williams and Walker to dissolve the partnership existing between the two Afro-American comedians and Raymond. Some time ago Williams and Walker withdrew from the management of Hurtig & Seamon, and Mr Raymond assumed control of the company's affairs. Since the addition of August John II, Shoakeam manager of the company, has not been at his office at 140 Wes. Thirty-fourth street, and that the office has been besieged with members of companies that the manager either failed to send out or which were left stranded in various parts of the country. DIED.

Boya' Choir in Church of St. Peter Claver. PHILADELPHIA, September 17.—With a single exception in one diocese, women were yesterday banished from the choirs of the Roman Catholic churches in this city, following the orders of Pope Paul I in his encyclical on sacred music, issued in 1883. The shaking up of the various chorus choirs means a radical change in the music. The Gregorian chant, as soon as it is mastered, will probably dominate the character of the complements to be rendered. A chorus of frothy boys were installed in the church of St. Peter Claver, 12th and Lombard streets. Catholic Work for Afro-American. PHILADELPHIA, September 17.—Beautiful ceremonies and decorations* marked the celebration of the patronal feast at the church of St. Peter Claver, 12th and Lombard streets, which is under the direction of Fatha of the Holy Ghost Order, who are devoting the church the spiritual benefit of the Afro-American race.

The time came, and the coin was tossed, the home team winning the toss and sent their team to the bat. The game started about 3 p.m. The bowling on both sides was very keen. The Columbia Ovals put up a good score of 101 for the close of their inning. The West Indian's turn came to go to the bat, to face the bowling of Messrs. Kortling and Curtis. The run getting was very slow all through the game until Messrs. Goodridge and Ogam became associated. Then runs came very fast, so much so that at the call of time they had compiled 29 runs between them, bringing the score from 15 to the sum total of 74 runs for 8 wickets, thus leaving the two clubs still tied for the honors of the N.

The election of Dr. W. E. Atkins as exalted ruler by the Brooklyn meeting makes it highly probable that Richmond will unite with that faction. Manhattan Organine in New York.

YOU CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT ONLY $1.50 A YEAR St. Luke's, the True Reformers and Baptist Sunday Schools Reformers Have Paid Two and a Half Millions in Benefits—St. Luke's Have $7,000 Surpluses RICHMOND, Va., September 17.—Richmond has been a varitable Mecca for Afro-American gatherings this year, especially so in the past two months. The Independent Order of St. Luke invested surcity the latter part of August and brought delegates and visitors by the hundreds from New England, the Middle Atlantic and Middle Western States. That peersiess race woman, Mrs. Maggie L Walker, who is the overtowering spirit in the big organization, is to be highly congratulated on the general spread of the work. The gross receipts of the organisation for the year were in excess of $38,000. After paying all expenses, including 122 death claims, buying stock in the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, St. Luke Emporium and St. Luke Herold, and paying off the last vestige of debt on their big building, the organisation had a surplus of more than $7,000. During the week of the meeting of the St. Luke organization, the National Baptist-Sunday School Convention met in the Fifth street Baptist church. This body was largely attended, and quite a large sum was raised for missionary and educational work. Professor B. H. Peyton, who presided, was the moving force, and by his executive ability made the sessions of the convention strictly businesslike. The first week in September brought the Grand Fontain of True Reformers, one thousand more strong. This organization is spread over thirty-six States and the District of Columbian. In the twenty-five years of its existence it has paid out more than $2,500,000 in sick and death claims. Its present membership is a little more than 100,000; its real estate is assessed at $500,000. The Rev. Dr. W. L. Taylor, president, was re-elected for another term of four years. The proceedings of these three bodies were characterized by their harmony, which added strength to each. Although they brought more than two thousand strangers to the city, there was not one case of disorderly conduct or breach of the peace during their stay in our midst. The Old Dominion Medical and Surgical Society will hold its second annual session in this city, commencing October 2. This meeting will bring among us for a few days the greater portion of Afro-American physicians in the State and many from adjoining States and Washington. The same day of the meeting of the doctors the Sixth B. M. C. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will also convene here.

From The Pioneer Press. Prof. William H. Richardson has recently come in for quite a deal of comment by The Boston Guardian respecting his connection with a cofounder in Bethel Literary. It seems that the editor of The Guardian has been unfortunate in making statements concerning the professor which are contrary to fact. The editor's attention has been called to his error, but he only adds insult to injury by his attempt to "wring out." But there is one very unfortunate thing connected with the editor's criticism; and that is his elegant manner of speaking of Miss Madre's friends and supporters. These he calls Madreles; and thus adds to his already wonderful reputation for excellence and high regard for womanhood about which he so constantly praised Hitherto we have praised The Guardian as the great race journal. Truly Trotter has become the dictator of race affairs. He has told us what ought to be done in Bethel Literary and Historical Association, and what he says must be obeyed. Indeed, we sometimes think that he is Napoleon, and unless we obey his commands we will be lost. Listen to his latest order: "We say to the contending parties in Bethel Literary, get together." Oh! Cesar, be patient, give us time to think before you force us back into the fold. You are all powerful, we are helpless down here. We know that we have the brain and culture of the country with us, the A. M. E. denomination and the race press that believes in fair play; but with you—Oh! Cesar—against us, we will be crushed. Properous Self Defense. R. W. Thompson in The Freeman. As an illustration of the temper of the bourbon press and its slight conception of the respect due the nation's defenders, black though they may be, The Louisville Evening Post the other day contained this vile fling: "By removing the Negro troops from Fort Brown, Texas, the War Department saved the Brownsville people the trouble of removing them from the earth." Maybe, but we think that the boot would have been somewhat on the other leg. In fact, we would like to have had a photograph of the plungies of Brownsville in the act of removing our crack shots from this mundane sphere. In the meantime, the colored troops remain on Texan soil, and we opine that the War Department will not be in any hurry to remove them very far away for, if the black boys are to be sent away from every community at the request of some cheap nobodies, they would soon become like unto the "Wandering Jew," and would be at the mercy of the whims of any irresponsible populace, instead of being subject only to the order of the Department itself. Occasional growls will be heard, but it will be a daring ruffian indeed who will venture to attack these soldiers, after the episode at Brownsville. We think it is safe to call the affair a closed incident. MISCELLANEOUS TO LET—Room for two gentlemen or married couple. 195 West 134th street, Harman. TO LET—Very desirable newly furnished room.
