The New York Age. THE PRESIDENT'S REVERSAL: MESSAGE to Congress Discussed—American Position on the Question of Lycadium, Census and Prevention—WILL THE Country Accept It?—Will Afro-American Accept It?—New Rule for Rumbling Down Allied Occupations Institute, by the Mob and Hindered by the President—Will the Country Accept It?—We Shall See WASHINGTON, December 10.—Again Agent Roterault has opened his mouth. The race problem and put his foot in for he has injected into his annual message to Congress reflections on lynching which cannot prove satisfactory reading, in parts certainly, to his colored citizens, but quite the contrary. With much that is just and wise he has separated as only a Southern man or a Northern man with Southern principles know how to single them, much that is unfair and unwise. The errors of the plausible which he has spoken with his character, which cannot prove satisfactory, are treated with knowledge of the subject that they can no more be separated than the Slimeous twins could have been separated and live a day after the separation. The good which he has spoken does not make the bad better, but quite the reverse. For the bad makes the good seem bad instead. We do not hesitate to say that the President's work on the subject of lynching is of the most mischievous importance which he yet succeeded in getting off on the race question in the United States, and will prove one of the most mischievous ever made by an American in high office. For he is supposed to speak as a friend of the Negro, and this supposition makes an utterance like that contained in his Annual Message much more mischievous in quality of rights and opportunities than the most rabid and rancorous tirades of Tillman, Vardaman & Co. For they are open and bitter enemies of the race. "The greatest existing cause of lynching is the perpetration, especially by 'black men, of the hideous crime of rape—the most abominable in all the category of crimes, even worse than murder." is a good example of the Rooseveltian manner of mingling truth and error, and so mingling them both, able to achieve the objective and retain the Presidential meaning at the same time. "The greatest existing cause of lynching." is not the perpetration but the suspected perpetration by black men of the crime of rape. And this Mr. Roosevelt knows perfectly well. For well he knows that the greatest majority of black men who have been put to death by mobs have been put to death, not after conviction under law, but before being acquitted and sentenced. They are consequently in the eye of the law suspected merely of the perpetration of this abominable crime. Why then did the President say so? He is a doctor of laws and knows fully the immense difference there is between the final status of a person accused of crime and that same person convicted by due process of law of the perpetration of crime. Was this mischievous looseness where there ought not to have been looseness and inaccuracy another one of his abominable tubes thriven to the Southern whale of race prejudice? It will certainly please the South because it has an unmistakable Southern flavor and falsity to just enough to make it palatable to the Southern whale to whom it is thrown. But please the colored people it cannot, nor will it deceive them. The Presidential message did not do so to please or to help them, but their enemies. It is not the colored hand of an Esau, but the hand of the white race's Jacob. And don't let us colored people ever again forget it. But bad as all this subtle insinuation of race difference is, coming as it does from the Chief Magistrate of the Republic and addressed by him in an annexed sage to Congress on the state of the try, it is not the worst. For serves to prepare the way for THE NEW SOUTHERN SLAVERY doctrine of Negro responsibility for the crimes of Negro criminals and Negro obligation to hunt down and deliver to the officers of the law these self-same Negro criminals. President Roosevelt assumes that there exists a race difference in his country on this subject in order, apparently the better to impact upon his colored fellow citizens a responsibility where none in reality exists, and to fasten upon shoulders already overburdened an obligation to other part of the American people, not even by himself or any member of his family—to hunt down criminals and deliver them into the hands of the constituted authorities. It was on the strength of this new doctrine of Negro responsibility and obligation in respect to Negro crime and criminals that he issued his famous or rather infamous irder discharging a whole battalion of the Infantry those under his army the most majority of the men would not play the hateful part of informers on a few comrades. We see in the message the same autocratic spirit, the same unprecedented injustice, the same ungritted severity and the same wanton abuse of executive authority in the one case as in the other. Too much power, too much world-adoration, too much vaulting ambition we are afraid are unseating the President's reason. He is doing that by denouncing an air of I know-it-all-and-damme-if-I don't do-it-all, law or law, the American people to the contrary notwithstanding. The dogma of papal infallibility is not a circumstance in America, at least to the new dogma of Rooseveltian infallibility on all subjects from spelling reform to the new doctrine of Negro responsibility and obligation in respect to Negro crimes and criminals. But let him beware, this man destiny. He has only one lion a cockerel may wet tumble from his dizzy and brilliant height in his country's and the world's regard like a stick without a spark of power or popularity left to him on the completion of his present term of office. Already men are beginning to deny to him his assumption to political infallibility, leading men in his own party, and to wender in more sense than one at some of the things which he has done and to question what he has done and to do so, with his passion for spectacular performances, is not a world actor, actor in a histrionic sense, rather than a real world doer after the manner of the great constructive statesmen of his age. One of his acts, spectacular and autocratic, is about to be put to the test of searching Senatorial inquiry, in which discharges without honor a whole battalion of colored soldiers. Senators Foraker, Penrose and even Tillman are to conduct the inquiry and to put to the test of constitution and law the arbitrary order of the President, who sets himself up in his new role as a leader unto which he has been a whole colored race in the United States. He has written his new doctrine of Negro responsibility and obligation in respect to Negro crimes and criminals in his order discharging the colored battalion and also into his annual message. Who will accept his new doctrine? Will the colored be congrass? Will the colored be? We will. **ABSTRACTED GRIM HIMKE** KILLS AFRO-AMERICAN. After Being Shot Ex-Chief of Police of Pine Bluff Shoots Ampliant. PINE BLUFF, Arkansas, December 5.—Beeing from his own injuries J. Frank Culpepper, ex-chief of police of Pine Bluff, steadied himself long enough to send a bullet crashing through the heart of his black assailant; killing him instantly. Mr. Culpepper died a few minutes later. The body of the Afro-American, Brock, is being held at a local undertaking establishment. Mr. Culpepper, who is one of the best known criminal hunters in the South, since being retired as chief of police, has been night watchman at the Brook showing around the premises Tuesday night, and was about to arrest him on suspicion, when the Negro pulled his revolver, and without warning fired twice, both bullets taking effect. Culpepper fell, but, pointed his revolver at the fleeing an and fired. Brock dropped the bullet after hearing told his shot was true to the mark, and that the Negro was dead. Mr. Culpepper passed away. Brock had the reputation of being a worthless gambler and loafer, who flirted from one, town to another, hanging around o...es in each place. THE NEW SOUTHERN SLAVERY NEW BUSINESSES BEGUN IN RICHMOND Stylish Ice Cream Parlors Opened, and Cool and Wood Company Chartered—Four Banks Have Resources of Over Half a Million. RICHMOND, Va., December 10.—The four Afro-American banking institutions in this city are in a most prosperous condition, and as they grow older they become stronger and grow more and more citizens, but of all classes of our fellow citizens. The secret of the success of these four Institutions is the sterling integrity of their officials and the businesslike manner of their conduct. The last report made to the State Corporation Commission showed that the four had resources amounting to $633,000 in bank loans so it with other business enterprises conducted by Afro-American people. Recently several enterprising young Afro-Americans secured a charter from the State under the name and style of the Broad Street Confectionery and Catering Company. They leased for a term of years the commodious store at 116 East Broad street in the very heart of the leading retail thoroughfare of the city. The house was remodeled and thoroughly renovated, and handsome furnishings were installed. Up-to-date confectories opened, coffee tea chocolate and soft drinks are served and oysters and light lunches. Ice cream is furnished wholesale, and the company is prepared to do a general catering business. Mr. Richard Harris, the manager, has had a lifelong experience in this line, having from boyhood been employed in one of the largest houses of this kind in Richmond. R. S. Stokes, president, and Henry Goode, secretary, are hotel men of long experience. Polite Afro-American young men and women serve the customers. The company is Manchester a company of young men has secured a charter to conduct the People's Mercantile and Supply Company for the purpose of carrying on a wholesale and retail business in coal and wood. The officers are Robert A. Johnson, president: A. H. Henderson, secretary: and N. T. Elam, treasurer. DR HALL AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE The Eminent Chicago Physician and Surgeon Performs Some Difficult Operations and Lectures. TUSKEEFE, Ala., December 8.—Dr. George C. Hall, the eminent Afro-American physician and surgeon of Chicago, has been at Tuskegee Institute during the past week performing a series of important operations in the hospital here. In this work he has been assisted by Dr. John A. Kenney, the school's resident physician, Dr. Willis E. Sterrs of DeCATur, and Dr. J. A. Darden of Opelika. The interne at the hospital, Dr. R. H. Brooks, and the trained nurses, as well as the students in the nurse-training division of the school, have been of great service to Dr. Hall in performing these operations in caring for the patients. Dr. Hall's professional record has been strengthened by the skilful work done here as each of his patients is doing nicely. He has also delivered a number of lectures to the teachers and students of the school and to the people of the community. While in the South Dr. Hall is to visit several other places to perform operations. BANK HIRES SOLDIER. Sergeant Israel Harris of the 25th Infantry Secures Place with Boston Firm as Porter and Policeman. Boston, Mass., December 10—Israel Harris, first sergeant of Company D, 25th Infantry, colored, which company, with two others of the same battalion, was discharged by order of President Roosevelt as the outcome of the affair at Brownsville Tex., on the night of August 13, when some of the soldiers of the companies went into Brownsville and started to "shoot up" the town, is now employed as a porter and special officer at the Eliot National Bank. Protest at Cannon's Home: DANVILLE III. December 4. A mass meeting of residents of Danville was held December 3d for the purpose of taking action on the diagonal of three companies of the 25th Regiment. Speeches were adopted, making President Roosevelt the spokesperson and refugee the case of the discharged soldiers of the 25th Infantry. SENATE CALLS FOR INFORMATION. Mr. Foraker Severe in Cohdemning President's Action WASHINGTON, December 6.—The Senate to-day disposed of the pending resolutions calling for information relating to the discharge of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infanty without the formality of a roll call. This unexpected result of the resolution, by considering Foraker and Penrose resolutions separately and passing both. Senator Foraker was quite anxious for a test of strength with the administration forces who stood behind the Penrose resolution, and felt very confident of passing his resolution as a substitute. But Senators Spooner and Warren the latter chairman of the Millitary Committee of the Senate, said there would be no harm in passing both resolutions. The Penrose resolution called on the President to send to the Senate, "if in his judgment it is compatible with the public interest," information concerning the military operations in the troops. The condition imposed, "if in his judgment compatible with the public interest," although a formal part of nearly all resolutions calling for information from the executive departments, as Senator Ray, rise to considerable sharp debate. Senator Spooner contended that there should be no discretion in the matter of sending the information. Congress created the army, and it had a right to know by what authority such wholesale discharges were made. Senators Penrose and Carter made a strong defence of the Penrose resolution. Mr. Spooner favored the Foraker resolution. In the course of the running debate which preceded the passage of the resolutions Mr. Penrose suggested that his resolution had caused Mr. Foraker "much anguish." The Ohio Senator declared that he felt no "anguish" over the matter, but he believed the "president had exceeded his authority." He evidence was of such "illiminary character" that it would not consist any person. Senator Culberson of Texas called Mr. Foraker sharply to task for the statement, and read from the evidence of Major Penrose, commanding the battalion, expressing the opinion that the troops were guilty of the riot. Much of the debate turned on the propriety or legality of the President's action in ordering the discharged Mr. Foraker was particularly severe in condemning the action. He said the President had no right to discharge the troops in that way. If the President could discharge a company in that summary way, he said he could discharge a battalion, he had done in this instance. He could disband the army in that way. He should Congress raise an army if the President could disband it at will? Mr. Foraker declared with emphasis that no man should be convicted of a felony without triv. NO RACE QUESTION IN CUBA. So Says a Havana Paper in Discussing Election of Gomes. HAVANA. December 7.—The Diario de la Marina commenting on the election of Juan Gualberto Gomez, who is a Negro, as president of the municipal convention of the Liberal party of Havana, says it considers this a triumph for the uncompromising attitude of the Liberals in regard to Cuba becoming free again. The paper declares that there is no race question in Cuba, but the question of a protectorate or independence. The race difficulty has been exaggerated. It is true that it entered to a small extent into the recent rebellion, but tact kept it in the background. The division in the Liberal party is far more real than any race question. Alfredo Zayas and Jose Miguel, Gomes are the leaders of the respective factions. The split has become more defined over the question of the governorship of Santa Clara, into which enters the matter of the contract for the waterworks at Cienfuegos, which was let by the Palma Government, and which, it is charged, was fraudulent, by the role of the people who on the matter was a faction. The new Mayor of Cienfuegos opposes the contract. The difficulty in Cuban politics is that too much prominence is given to personal hatreds, and that there is such wide divergence of opinions as to the management of the public business. The San Domingans refuse to be good, and are playing at revolution on a small scale again. FIGHT "LILY WHITEISM." One Hundred Prominent Men Organised in Richmond. RICHMOND, December 10.—The Afro-American voters of Richmond and the Third Congressional District are determined that "Lily Whitestein" in the Republican party shall die a-borning, so far as it pertains to this section. The fight began this fall against the movement, though not organized outside of Richmond and here not too thoroughly with whom it dealt. The district put in thorough good shape, P. W. Burrell, grand secretary of the True Reformers, is president of the Republican Central League, and associated with him in the work are Dr. R. E. Jones, Major J. B. Johnson, Dr. P. Ramsey, George St. Julien Stephens, Joseph R. Pollard and others as officers. Invitations have been sent out to one hundred prominent Afro-American leaders and the vicinity to be present at a conference to be held to-morrow night for the purpose of formulating plans for a complete organization of the district. Mr. Burrell is somewhat new as a leader in politics, but as he has demonstrated qualities of true leadership in all other organizations with which he is connected his followers predict success for him in his new field. He is Baptist Sunday School Union, a trustee and deserves more Street Baptist church and Sunday school superintendent, secretary of the Richmond lodge of Elks, curator of Hampton Normal school, trustee of the Y. M. C. A. and a Mason. His greatest work, has been as a True Reformer, having entered the work with the late W. W. Browne, the founder, in its incipience in 1881, resigning his position as a school teacher in Richmond and building an organization up to the great proportions which it had assumed at his death in 1897. The Republican vote polled in this district (two years ago) was slightly in exertion. The Democratic vote was received but 630 votes in the entire district. ASSAULTS HIS OWN DAUGHTER. MONTGOMERY, Ala., December 10.—The jury in the case of Eugene Dowling, a white cappetier, charged with criminally assaulting his beautiful 16-year-old daughter, Daisy, after being out 10 hours, returned a verdict of guilty this morning and sentenced Dowling to 50 years. An appeal will be taken. Dr. Low and Dr. Chancellor Tuskegee Institute. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., December 10.—Ex-Mayor Seth Low, of New York City, and Dr. William E. Chancellor, Superintendent of Schools of the District of Columbian, are spending the greater part of this week at Tuskegee Institute as the guests of Dr. Booker T. Washington. They have thoroughly gone through every department of the institution, and have received great attention on part, have the teachers and students. Both have spoken to the students several times, and on the whole it has very interesting week in connection with the presence of those two distinguished persons. Dr. Chancellor came to Tuskegee to spend only a few days, but became so absorbed in the work that he decided to spend practically nearly a week in studying conditions here. In the chapel, in talking to the students last evening, Dr. Chancellor used the following words: "Tuskegee is an experiment on an immense scale, and something more. The success of Tuskegee is something real that is going to be useful for you South, and for the white people as well as for the colored; but Tuskegee is more than an experiment, it is here, and rendering a great service to every one of you for your own lives. There is more real education going on here, to the square inch, than I know of anywhere." Senator Tillman Barred Out of Belleair BELLAIRE, Ohio, December 10.—Senator Benjamin R. Tillman was engaged to lecture here for the First M. E. Church to-morrow night, but the engagement has been cancelled. As a result of the Senator's scandalous address at Chicago the authorities of the First M. E. Church demanded a promise of him that he would not swear in his address here, but he refused to pledge himself, as he could not know that would happen to pave him the road to the seat of office. I around that the good people of this town have lost nothing, but gained much, by not having the Senator speak here. CHICAGO CITIZENS QUIET. The Chicago Herald, Chronicle, Journal and News Demonstrates Tillman's Savings—Business Men and Politicians Speak Their Minds—Hospital People Make $2,000, But Less Liberal Supporters—Ottawa of Both Races Moor at Bethel A. M. R. Church—S. Coleridge-Taylor Honored. Regular Correspondence of Till Ann. CHICAGO, Dec. 7. —The Aftermath of Tillman in Chicago is quite satisfactory, thank you. The evil effects of Tillman's abuse of every body and every thing in the Afro-American people is no longer visible, felt or feared. Indeed, the way seems just a little clearer after the storm of tumultuous rhetoric by the South Carolina statesman. He came to Chicago as a United States Senator; he went away as the commonest ranter that ever addressed an audience of man and women. He came as a man to be feared for the awful truths he had to reveal; he went away man to man to despised for the awful falshood the man to man to the truth and justice. He came as an enemy of the Afro-American people; he left as the enemy also of law, decency and order. He came as a man of power to be feared; he left a man to be ridiculed and pitied. Every blow Tillman aimed at the Afro-American people in his terrific tirade of abuse: reacted upon himself as a man without a sense of truth and justice and incapable of right thinking and rightygo feelings. When he screamed to an audience of 1,500 people that the Afro-Americans of Chicago were a lot of baboons; when he said, in his most savage mood, "To hell with the law," people in the audience began to "love us for the enemies we have made." As one reads in cold type the mouthings of this United States Senator, the mind at once reverts to the awful time in Chicago when men were arrested and hung for the utterances of words no more incendiable than the words of Tillman. It certainly speaks well for the reserve power manifested by the colored people. Under great provocation they conducted themselves, not as cowards, but as a people sure of their strength and worth and contemptuous of a stateman who could not rise above the level of the language of the duma and plantation manners. The man who refused to refer to Tillman's name in any form as to his coming his lecture or his going. The other leading papers like The Herald, The Chronicle, The Journal and The News had strong editorials and in them the Senator was blistered in a way and manner that would have been painful to any person with a sense of the realty, hopeful thing about the whole business is that the South Carolina man made many friends for us who were enemies before. Men in all walks of life, especially business men, politicians and other men of thought and feeling, have freely spoken their minds, and the uniform tenor of their utterances is that the negro in the South Carolina is Tillman in the kind of man who makes and enforces the laws and moulds public sentiment. Though the hospital people made about $3,000 out of Senator Tillman's slander of the entire Afro-American people, they feel ashamed of themselves in handling this "tainted money." In the opinion of those who are in a position to know, the Union Hospital has made more enlightened decisions than the larger performance. Already people who have been liberal supporters of this institution have given it out that no more support must be expected from them. To obtain means for charity at a cost of the feelings and security of a whole race of people is too expensive. It is equivalent to saying "I will let you hold up to public scorn, contempt and ridicule 40,000 inoffensive citizens of city life" to make money for our sick. This is the meaning of Tillman's "wild man's" performance at the Chicago Orchestra hall in the presence of 1,500 people. The complainant, the apologies, the situation and the similarity all on the other side of a color line. On the Sunday following the departure of the inglorious stateman from the South, there occurred what was empiously called a "Pence Meeting," the like of which has never before been known here. Prominent citizens of both races came together at Bethel A M.C. church, a place of praise, prayers of thanksgiving and eloquence befitting a high cause, reminding us that "God is in his Heaven, all's well with the world. A score or more of bishops, ministers, and leading lawyers filled the platform, and soldom have men spoken with such tremendous earnestness that men in an effort to make amends for the offensiveness of Tillman's distribe. Here was an occasion, at least, when colored people were appealed to for pardon and a gracious forgiveness. A prominent Episcopal Bishop said. "There would be no United States Senator if there had been no army of 24,000 chief officers to command the Civil War. Jenkins Lloyd Jones, probably the strongest man in any Chicago pulpit referred to Tillman as a "geographical anachronism," a "ribald劫" "a back number of unhonored memory." "a shriek from the old军官 who will never succeed in turning out civil war" "a biger who fails to see the vision of the open door of a human soul in any face but a white face." It is a relief to turn from the disagreeable things of race-conflict to take note of the benign presence of the great composer, S. Coleridge Taylor of London. Those of us who have been oppressed in spirit by the antagonism of the past week felt a real uplift of soul to see and hear this modest man of genius and world-widening standing in the higher achievement and standing in the higher achievement and seemed to be heightened at this particular time. The whole city of music-lovers seem to have risen to the occasion of Mr. Taylor's coming. Appreciation of a distinguished personage was never more pronounced than it was at the two concerts given at the New Pekin theater. Mr. Taylor was greeted by an audience that filled every nook and corner of the theater. On Saturday evening the Frederick Douglass Center teemed for an informal reception to Mr. Taylor and Mr. H. F. Burleigh, the famous baritone of New York. A large number of white and Afro-American music lovers, and others were thus given an opportunity to meet and converse with them. Numerous other social functions were given in their honor during their all too brief stay amongst us.

Tomoxro, Canada, November 24.— Aniong the few heroes who have gon the Victoria Crosa, the | highest Sudnedve wrich our sovereign bestows for intrepid bravery in the face of the enemy, there are noe who have merited the decora- tion better than ou Cauadian bero, none ‘upon whove “particular act. of daring ‘greater issues hung. | So writes a corre: spvodent of The Cansdian Magazine, con- ‘cerning William Hall, an Afro-Canadian, who wax born in Summerville, Haunts county, Nova Scotia, in 1832." He had werved for 18 years in various capacities on board merchant vessels. The winter of 1852 found him in Liverpool, England; where’gn the 2d of February. be enlisted in the Britith navy, ansigned to the Rod- ney, & xrevel of OO ung, and was present at the bombardment of Odersa during the Crimean war. After the war be was Trauxferred to the frigate Shanon, At the breaking out of the Sepay rebellion the vessel’ was lying at Calentta wheo thy captain received hurried orders to xed aS many taen as possible overiand to Lucknow. Acconlingly 2°) seamen and marines, Including Hall. were selected for the ship's company. The march to the besieged city was accomplished with grent lose of life. “The naval suns were fre- quently found to be of great service. Each of them was operated by six men. AS’ the British approached nearer and hearer to the city the attacks of the Se- poss became mote and more determined. On the dav. of the heroic feat, for which Hall earned qhe Victorian Croes, the Sepoys fought ‘desperately, and nearly succeeded in surrounding the British, The men of the Shannon, finding themselves hard pressed. endeavored to gain a posi- tion nearby. where there was a ruined. building surrounded by a bigh stone wall. their object being to use it ax a tempo- rary fort and refuge for their exhausted men. In order to effect this they directed the fire of nome of their gunn ugainat the walla. Breeches were finally made in the thick walls through one of which the men. after beavy lone, dragred a gun, and from that point of vantage bean to tise it with offect, to cover the retreat of their comrades. This gun occupied such aA commanding position that the Sepors. seeing the havoc it caared in their ranks. directed their fire to the spot 60 as to make it io & few migutes 9 vere perilous: ritnation. ‘The men operating the weapon fell rapidly, ‘aud. the odicer in ‘chnege: of the corps finally gave orders to aban- don the piece. Seaman Hall, who wae assisting in operating one of the other guns, seeing the importance of the piece in the breweh, left his position and hut ried nemoss the intervening apace to assist in working it, ‘The ¢wo survivors of the orignal em took courage when they saw help conting. and the officer in charge of the gun, Lient, Salmon. ‘shouted. “Ab, | Hall! You're a man.” “Three more de- wrted their original positions and the crews wx once more complete. ‘The gun rontinued to work destruction for, several ninutes longer until the Sepors, drew off with heavy loss, Of the six heroes who saved the corps from oannibilasion bur three were left sive. ‘They were Lieut. Salmon, now prominent in the British army and known | as Read Admiral Sir Nowel Salmon. K. | i. H., and seamen Robinson and Hall, Hach of the sutvivers was, recommended for and subsequently received the Vics j eria Cross, which bears the date of No- ruber 16, 1857.

How can we account for the wide di- ergence in their subsequent careers? Of wurse, there are.zome who will attribute: ho pisparity to the natural inferiority of he Negro.

Rev. S. N. Vass, of North Carolina, who preached at the First African Baptist church last Sunday, says that the increase of Afro-Americans are going south west and the Southern whites toward the northwest. The center of the Southern whites is now ninety-four miles from the Afro-American center, whereas in the South it would seem that separation is going on upon a very large scale in the South. Nearly nineteenth of the race live in the South and 82 per cent. in the country districts. It is thought by many that we as a race do not move about in an effort to better our condition. Since 1850 a million and a half have been migrating from one state to another. The largest portion going further South. Afro-Americans operate 13 per cent. of all the farms in the country, and 28 per cent. of those in the south, and they own one-fourth of all the farms they operate. Dr. DonBois thinks the amount of farm property owned by them is $250,000,000. Over 137 occupations are pursued by us but the majority are in the form of more than 27 different kinds of work. The methods employed by the Furnival New Year's association to advertise its annual ball are as novel as the summer parade, which the members don to capture the prizes awarded by the Councils. Next night at midnight in Fitzwater street, west of Broad street, the club, was guarding, headed by a blaring got into a mixup with a number of Americans who were attracted loud clothes and fantastic antics in paraders. Just what gave rise to trouble was not clear when the pervious appeared before Magistrate Fitzwater his morning at the Fitzwater street parade. There was no mistaking the results. Like Hardley and his wife, Elizabeth, both Irish Americans, of 749 South Hicks street and William Merriwether, of No. 1826 Fitzwater street, appeared against the prisoners. Hardley and his wife had their noses broken and lacerations of the head. Merriweather's head was cracked; lacerations, painful and disfiguring, were also upon him. At the conclusion of the hearing William Aldrich was held in $000 ball for court on the charge of inciting a riot and assault and battery. Frank Campbell, also white, was placed under 4000 ball charged with noteting the man. The man was a devil, kings, queens, gypsies, Indians, cowboys, Filipinos and Negro impersonators giving chase to everything in sight, stirred the neighborhood to an extent that was little short of prodigious. But the excitement only proved temporary, in spite of its intensity, and the motley impersonators resumed their triumphal march to Gray's Ferry road, which was their objective point. J. H. GRAY. ... MINTON IN POLITICS. President of Afro-American Committee of City-Party. From Philadelphia Journal of Commerce Now that the election is over and men can look back calmly upon the fight, a name stands out here and there from among the multitude by reason of the splendid work accomplished in the interest of reform. All fair-minded citizens appreciate the fact that while the City Party has been defeated, it will prove but a temporary restraint upon the good work and that the policies and principles which called that association into being will be continued with renewed vigor. Perhaps no name calls forth a larger and more sincere volume of praise than that of Theophilus J. Minton, Esq. Mr. Minton is not only a lawyer and financier of rare attainments, but a man who has not permitted his multifarious business interests to interfere with his duties as a voter and advocate of administrative purity in city, State and Nation. It is safe to say that no one man in the Twenty-worth ward did more to encourage his followmen to stand by the banner of civic righteousness than Mr. Minton, nor has won a higher regard for his splendid character. As president of the Afro-American Committee of the City Party, he displayed an indefatigable industry throughout the campaign which marked him as a man of wonderful attainments. To know the man is to admire him for Mr. als courage, his integrity of purpose and his culture. As a lawyer he has merited a large and lucrative practice and has been signally successful in the conduct of his cases in court. As a financier, he has been instrumental in furthering some of the foremost industrial and financial enterprises of the city, and his name is considered a valuable asset upon the directorate of substantial institutions. No better evidence of the man's executive ability could be found than in the history of the reform movement in Philadelphia politics. He has earned the right to be known as a leader in this city. Not only has Mr. Minton's example done much to encourage others toward the attainment of the best prizes of life in commercial, professional, financial and social directions, but he stands as an irreaffectable proof of what may be accomplished by determination, honorable industry and loyalty to high ideals. When he died in June 2004, To the letter of The New York Acm: The following clipping from The Nash- sack appeared in The Acm of November 20; Three Negro-lawyer Yankees are sending all sorts of protests to Washington against the discharge of the Negro children who rosted and murdered their parents. Their dismissal in the most prosec worthy thing the President has done. He dismissed them "without honor." The late they themselves got rid of. Their honor? The idea of a lot of black men in our country! But the Negro is the bound dog of humanity. When he finds he has the power over women or men he uses it. A whole pack of hounds will jump on one like a cat. The Negro is the bound dog of humanity. Several of this Twenty- Fifth Beguiment were in full under the charge of murder of the citizens of Brownville they shot down. The colonel had orders from Washington to discharge them from the nation. They should have been discharged without their heads. In refutation of all these statements the following incidents are related: Two things the people of San Francisco will ever remember—the disastrous earthquake of last April and the presence of the 1st Tennessee Voyunteers Intranty, awaiting transportation to the Philippines in the early summer of 1808. They were received with a hospitality born of patriotism, but acknowledged it with license and riot. Property was destroyed and citizens assaulted. Though nothing specific could be traced to any individual sufficient to indict, since they stopped in nothing to cover the identity of the prisoners at the Presidio combined. They were the most disorderly, most degraded, most demoralised set of organized, uniformed hoodums that ever crossed the bay from Oakland. We recall how this regiment conducted itself in and around Manila; it had no superiors on the firing line; of magnificent physique and possessed that lack of fear the manicure of Louis. It was in their approach to the Manila waterworks where the insurgents were strongly fortified that their commanding officer, Colonel Smith, fell from his horse and used of apoplexy or sunstroke. But their conduct from the date of American occupation, August 13, 1818, to February 14, 1890, is best described by that paragraph above about the nature of humanity. They (the Ia Tenn.) were certainly the hound dogs of humanity in California and the Philippines. When the ambulance pulled out for Manila it carried two soldiers' bodies, both covered by the same flag. They were Corporal Washington, Afro-American of the 25th Infantry, killed in action on a mission of succor, and Private Cook, Company B, 9th Infantry (white) murdered by insurgents, while their prisoner was killed by the Navy aviary both of Nashville, Tenn., home of The Nashville Ameran. For ten years, 1888-1898, the 25th Infantry was stationed in Montana with headquarters at Fort Missoula. Two companies occupied Fort Harrison at Helena, capital of the State, and not a single complaint was ever recorded relative to the department of the soldiers. For ten years the garrison at Fort Missoula was under the control of Bates River valley; the inhabitants came to look upon the occasion as a holiday, second only in importance to their county. For several years Montana was terrorized by a gang of outlaws led by a desperado named Anthony. Though several rewards were on this band's heads, the efforts of the authorities to capture them were in vain. Finally Sergeant George THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1906. W. Smith, of Company 8, 52th Infantry, assumed the role of a halfhired Indian horse trader who had lost his way and honored the outfit with a map to help him locate the cattle. He gained their confidence, was not on the right course, thanked them and notified the commanding officer. Captain Samanb, with Sergent Smith and a detail of ten men surrounded the camp, captured three of the outfits with their ledge and turned them over to the drill authorities. Samanb and hung him, he extricated from the scaffold his regret in not yielding to his first impulse and killing Sergent Smith.

In 1898 when the victorious troops returned from Cuba, the 3d battalion of the 25th Infantry was assigned to Fort Logan, Colorado, ten miles southwest of Denver. The War Department was deluged with protests against the assignment, but the battalion stayed. There was no shooting; instead the baseball team was assigned to receive over the State with great hospitality. The Denver and Rio Grande railroad put on special theater trains every Monday night during the season, thus enabling the colored soldiers to spend a pleasant evening in the city and be back at the post for the 11 o'clock check roll, and not a single soldier was arrested at any performance. On Decoration day, 1898, the Citizens' committee invited the colored battalion to participate in the memorial exercises in the city and portation. The invitation was accepted and the heroes of El Caney were royally received. In 1903 at Fort Riley, Kansas, where the annual maneuvers of the western departments were held, the 25th Infantry took eleven out of a total of thirteen prisons. To tell all the story of this regiment, as gallant in peace as heroic in war, would take two issues of this newspaper, whose eight pages would be devoted to nothing else. R. B. LEMUS. Formerly Co. K., 25th Infantry, Jersey City, December 3, 1906. OLD FOES IN NEW ARMOR. Southern Ante-bellum Rebels Repeated in Vardaman & Co. In his speech at Nashville, Tenn., the Governor of South Carolina, among other things, said: "If you will not help us by respecting the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution we will write a guarantee of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for the Negro in the Constitution of every Southern State" and otherwise go about our treatment of the "Nigger" according to our own dear wishes and sweet will! He did not say the latter in as few words as choose to express his opinions in, but ad rem he spoke in that vein and to that purpose. A Bourbon is designated as a "politician who has not learned of later events nor forgotten former ones that are obsolete and dead." The ideas prevalent in the South before the abolition of slavery are still possessing like demons many Southerners, and conceptions of later events have not yet found room to spread in the minds of such persons. However, they are not the whole South, nor do they represent the intellectual and morally best minds of that section of our country. These Heywoods, Tillmans, Vardanamans, Hoke Smiths and John Temple Gravenes are an oligarchy, as any one can learn who has not already done so from The Southern American, a plucky little Republican sheet, published by a white man, J. C. Manning, in the very heart of the South, Alexander City, Alabama. This oligarchy. If not crushed, will prove as dangerous to the living generation in our country as did that little coterie of fanatics and reactionists who led the ignorant "poor whites" into the war for State rights and slavery, the latter being the object for which the former were used as a catapult, a conception of affairs that has the sanction of no less a person than Alexander Stephens, former Vice-President of the Confederacy (see Charles Harvey in The St. Louis Globe Democrat). In his "Recollections of Sixteen Presidents," J. C. Thompson distinctly states it as a fact that the war was produced by a fanatical minority of Southerners who stirred into action the misled "poor whites" for their (the slaveholders' own) purposes. That the Abolitionists were not the prime cause of the war becomes apparent to every unbiased reader of this work, which is very instructive in regard to the moving cause of the War of the Rebellion. There was about one Abolitionist in 1,200 voters at the time when the preparations for the forthcoming struggle were in the making, and while the Abolition movement in the course of time, it never was formidable enough to have been able to produce the war. Benjamin Tillman may take note before he makes issue one more on this point with those of us who are not going to accept Southern views without subjecting them to the test of history. The "war idea" was indeed being considered as early as the administration of Tyler, one of the most unprincipled of demagogues our country ever had, if we are to accept Thompson's view of him. Thompson was not an ardent Republican, if one at all, judging from the tone of his work; he even assumes that the Union could have been preserved without the abolition of slavery—a view not very tenable in the light of later events—or (perhaps I have not caught on to the histories of his logic), that slavery could have been abolished peacefully—died out in the course of events, or something of that kind. It will be thus seen that Thompson is not a "Northmer" from the Southern point of view of us. These historic matters are of interest even today: they teach us a less son we should learn; viz., the dangers to a country and society through a few earnest monomaniacs (zealots, if you prefer that sobriquet), who by their "magnetism" control the unintelligent, or at least, little-thinking, masses to do their bidding and further their interests, which are always class interests, never interests of the country at large, or of humanity in general. These men are abroad to-day, as they were in the days when the slave power was enthroned in our legislative halls, executive seats and the courts; if formerly they intended to keep the slave in bodily and mental] bondage, they seek to-day to keep him, whose bodily bonds are rent, in serfdom of a political and economical nature: they will grant him kindly, human, rights as they view them, but forget that in a modern state, a Republic more particularly, human rights are nothing, if not given in the nature of political rights! These are as closely interwined in our age with the others as the souls with the body; they are not separate parts, they are a unity. The same conceptions now prevalent in the South and with reactionaries in the North, were once held in Europe in regard to the Jews. Some other time I will take the liberty to enlarge upon this phase of the matter by publishing extracts from anti-Semitic writings in the year Pittsman temporary lodgings for working girls, with patrolmen, at reasonable rates.

The similarity in argument of the old reactionaries and their disciples of to-day, will, am sure, be astounding to not a few readers.

Chicago, December 10, 1906. NEARLY LYNCHED THE GUILTLESS. From The Atlanta Constitution. Almost upon the threshold of the gallows, a Negro's life is saved by the fortunate and timely discovery and arrest of the real criminal. The jury, chosen from the best and most fair-minded citizens in the community, acting upon apparently incontrovertible evidence, is about to declare guilty of a capital offense, a man who, in the next moment, would have heard the judge pronounce the death sentence. Suddenly there is brought into the court room, still in the hands of the arresting officers, another Negro, fitting more completely the description of the culprit wanted than he who had, in effect, already been convicted by the identification of the victim. The case on trial fails, from this development coupled with the evidence favorable to the defendant, see now in a new light, and from the shadow of legal death an innocent man is given his freedom. Such is the picture presented in the trial of Joe Glenn in Fulton superior court, under indictment for, perhaps, the most heinous offense ever committed in Fulton county. And yet this man twice narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of men inflamed by the horror of the crime of which he was only suspected. Never was stronger plea made for the saner course than in the dramatic ending of this remarkable trial. It is the province of the laws to deal impartial justice—punishment to the guilty, vindication to the innocent. Here, without the intervention of the law an innocent life would have been sacrificed. It is a serious picture, one that appeals with far more force than the cold logic of dispassionate argument to the respect for law—not alone the law of the statute book, but the higher law of humanity. Stop and investigate, it commands, for here, as you see, it is not impossible for circumstance to overwhelm with apparent guilt the innocent.

THE AGE has set forth candidly its opinion of the President's dismissal of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, for alleged complicity in the Brownsville fracas. We have nothing to take back or explain. We believe that the President made a great mistake, overriding a principle of our fundamental law which affects the rights and the interests of the whole American people. This view of the matter has been adopted and enunciated by the responsible newspapers of the country, by pulpit orators and by people in mass-meetings assembled in all parts of the country. And the question has passed into the official records of the Federal Congress and will ultimately reach the courts. There is now great danger that the work of agitation, of condemnation and derenunciation will be overdone, in the fattious effort to make the question one of race; when, as The New York Times has said and Senator Foraker has declared on the floor of the Senate, it is not at all one of race or color but of principle, pure and simple. The press and the best sentiment of the North and the West have taken this view of the matter, and it is the only one upon which the justice and the equities of the case can be fought and won. Violent abuse of the President, instead of contending for the principle involved in a temperate and dignified manner, will not only prejudice the case but provoke a reaction in the press and among the people, because the American people will not stand for violent, scurrilous and Sectoring abuse of the President. If he goes wrong a proper appeal to the public, to the Congress, to the courts, will set him right, in time, and we believe that he will be glad to be set right in that way if he has gone wrong. The protest has been lodged; now let us raise some money to test the soundness of it. Thus far, we believe, the dollars for the good cause have kept out of sight and touch with provoking indifference to the urgent demand that they take the centre of the stage and talk. Uniform · Marriage and Divorce Laws. President Roosevelt hit upon a vital subject in American life in the following passage in his Annual Message to the Congress: In my judgment the whole question of marriage and divorce should be relegated to the authority of the National Congress. At present the wide difference in the laws of the different States on this subject result in scandals and abuses; and surely there is nothing so vitally essential to the welfare of the Nation, nothing around which the Nation should so bend itself to throw every safeguard, as the home life of the average citizen. The evils of the existing marriage and divorce system are apparent to every well-thinking citizen, as well as the need of radical changes of it. Marriage is the chief foundation stone of the social as well as the civil life of the people. The State depends upon it as the basis of good and regular citizenship, in which the primary questions of maintenance of offspring and their education and of the taxation of property, as well as the transmission of it through heirs of blood or at law, enter fundamentally. If marriage were not a civil contract, if the marriage system were not pregnant, the State would have to take on the maintenance and education of offspring, and the management cation of disspring, and the management or disposition of property without heirs, and there would be few such who would be able to establish a just claim in the absence of a civil contract of marriage. Indeed, in the absence of the marriage system, we should have to reorganize our entire system of citizenship and taxation of realty and inheritances. A system upon which the citizenship of the country so vitally hinges should obviously be among the supreme powers delegated to the Federal Government, and not reserved to the States, as is now the case. A marriage contracted now in one State is not necessarily legal in another State. Indeed, a marriage contracted in the District of Columbia is not legal across the line in Maryland or Virginia; a case in point being that several years ago an Afro-American who entered into the marriage contract in the District of Columbia and went to Virginia to reside was clapped into jail and allowed to rot in it. And a divorce good in New York is not necessarily binding across the line in New Jersey or Connecticut. There is the greatest need, therefore, in the interest of the home and of good citizenship that marriage and divorce laws should be uniform throughout the United States, and the only way that this can be accomplished is by such an amendment to the Constitution as President Roosevelt has suggested to the Congress. The confusion which now prevails in our system of marriage and divorce would not be tolerated in any other civilized country, and would never have been incorporated into our system of government if the jealousy of the States had not been carried to abseid lengths in the making and the adoption of the Constitution to make the Federal Government an incident and the State the main thing; a point which led to the Civil War and which has been brought into question now by a law of the State of California which violates a treaty law, pronounced by the Federal Constitution to be the supreme law of the land, in the separation of Mongolian children from European children in the public schools. The adoption of an amendment to the Federal Constitution is one of the most difficult of things to accomplish; but experiences has shown that where such an amendment has been necessary the public opinion and the law-making power of the country could be brought into harmonious action. There is no question in American life which calls more loudly to-day for radical correction by a Constitutional amendment than that of our marriage and divorce system. The make-up recommendations of a recent civil congress, to be grafted onto the existing systems, and the suggestion in a book by Mrs. Elsie Clew Parana, a woman who usually thinks strongly and correctly, that trial marriages would be no bad thing as a solution of the present difficulties, do not touch the case at all. What is needed is to make over the whole matter to the Federal Congress by a Constitutional amendment: providing for a uniform system of marriage and divorce throughout the States of the Republic. Impulsive Endorsement of Secre- tary Taft Secretary of War William H. Taft devotes considerable space in his Annual Report to the Brownsville fracas and the discharge of the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry alleged to have been concerned in it, and sets up a justification of the order of dismissal of the troops, issued by the President without the knowledge or consent of the Secretary of War and promulgated for the information of the country after the recent elections so that it would not affect the vote of the Afro-Americans in the pivotal States. Secretary Taft does not think that there is anything unjust or horrible in making the innocent suffer along with the alleged guilty, a principle of law at variance with the accepted one, and a principle which has become infamous because of its application by Southern mobs, notably in the recent massacre at Atlanta, of punishing the innocent as well as the guilty. The Minneapolis Daily Tribune must be greatly chagrined at the course finally adopted by Secretary Taft in accepting and defending the action of the President. While the President was on the high seas between Washington and the Isthmus of Panama, and could only be reached by wireless telegraphy, The Tribune voiced the following sentiment, which THE AGE had previously voiced: The President has made one of the mistakes to which halr-trigger tempers are exposed. He will probably reverse his order when Taft deals with him as Hay used to deal. If he does not, Taft's resignation is in order, in the midst of a cyclone of popular enthusiasm. He is too big a man to play the lackey and there are enough to do it without him. But Secretary Taft dropped his suspension of the President's order as if it had been a hot potato, after sleeping over the unatter for a brief space, and allowed the opportunity of the country to acclaim him with "a cyclone of popular enthusiasm" to die away as an echo unpitched into the aurifice of space. And those Afro-Americans who rushed pill-mell into an endorsement of Secretary Taft as the next Presidential candidate of the Republican party, or any other good thing he might hanker after, because of his momentary hold-up of the President's order, must feel cheaper than a cur dog caught in the act of stealing chickens. Their action and idiotic dribble placing Secretary Taft in the category of the "immortals not born to die" who devoted all of their powers of heart and head to the work of making others free and equal in our citizenship, and other incidents of like impulsive foolishness, should teach Afro-Americans everywhere to think more with their heads and talk less with their mouths and to be "sure they are right and then go ahead." Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio, a warrior of the old school who "sniffs the battle from afar," is the only public man in the situation so far who has risen equal to the demand of the whole country that lynch law methods shall not prevail in the administration of the laws, civil and military, that the innocent shall not suffer with the guilty, and that neither shall be "deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." --- Lynch Law Methods in Practice With the whole country solidly arrayed against him for applying Lynch law methods to the army, shyting the innocent with the guilty, along with reversal of the accepted doctrine of our law and equity that it is the duty of the citizen to attend to his own business and that of the officers of the law to attend to theirs. President Roosevelt has carried the doctrine to the National Congress in his Annual Message, for their information and consideration, and by doing it has evoked the estatic approbation of the white South, which is equivalent to damnation and condemnation of any Republican President's position on any question whatever of public policy, because the Southern States and their white citizens are now, and have been for more than half a century, out of joint with the rest of the country, and promise to remain so—isolated, shunned, ignored by the National electorate, only to be exalted to high places by a corrupt and vicious constituency in their home States or elevated to high places by the appointment of a Republican President, as in the case of Luke E. Wright and others of like sort. If President Roosevelt thinks that it is wiser and better to be in the wrong with the corrupt and base white public opinion of the Southern States than right with the intelligent, honest and law-abiding opinion of the rest of the country, he has a right to his preference. The Nation has not sanctioned his elevation of Southern Democrats to high office in the Federal service, his latest appointment giving control of the Civil Service Commission to the Democrats; the Nation emphatically rebuked the insolence and the vulgarity of the white Solith when it undertook to dictate who should and who should not dine with the President at his table, but the President apparently accepted the Southern view of the motion, as he has not invoked the lightness of Southern insistence and arrogance by a repetition of similar courtesy; the Nation has received the action of the President in applying Southern lychee law methods to the army, shaying the innocent with the guilty, but the President has not headed the recruitment, but, on the contrary, has asked Congress to give him power to dismiss naval officers at his discretion, and has accepted and embodied in his Annual Message to Congress the demoralizing principle of lychees that the private citizen must make it his business to unarm the duties of the police authorities in the hunting down of alleged criminals, unmindful of the fact that the application of this principle by the white South is directly responsible for lychee law in the States of the South and for the demoralization of the police power and courts of those States so that one sort of citizen has no more hope of securing justice than if he were a slave, and therefore acts in many cases as if he were a slave in protecting himself from outrages and in seeking to avenge these. When The Atlanta Constitution, and the degraded newspaper system which it typifies, bestows upon the President's views on the race question unqualified praise we are bound to conclude that although "the Government at Washington still lives" it must be sick unto death in its intellectuals. It should make the President's ears burn to read the following editorial endorsement of his message from The Atlanta Constitution: It is a platform upon which any law abiding, peace-loving, conservative citizen—North, East, South or West—can well stand, irrespective of party, creed or what not. While condemning and deploring the crime of lynching, as all good citizens do, he goes straight to the mark in pointing out the remedies which must be applied, not only in suppressing lynching itself, but in eliminating, in so far as is possible, the abhorrent crime which is most frequently the cause of this form of lawlessness. In strongest terms does he stress the fact that the Negro criminal, and especially the Negro criminal who makes a white woman his victim, is the worst enemy of the Negro race. It is the duty of the Negro race to lend every possible assistance to the officers of the law, he declares, in ferreting out and bringing to swift and speedy justice these criminals whose deeds, unpunished, can only regard the development and progress of the race. Until they realize this and act upon it, there must ever hang about their necks the millstone of a false prejudice which can but drag down the innocent along with the guilty. Let punishment be sure and speedy, says the President, but let it be the orderly punishment of the law and, not that of the frenzied savagery of the mob! Therein lies the keynote of the whole situation. There is work, and much of it, for both races to do. To inculcate that respect for law and order which will equally scorn to shield the guilty, or to take a human life in violation of the command of God and man. With the Atlanta massacre stinking in its nostrils, with sixty Afro-Americans indicted for defending themselves against murder by mob and police and with but twenty white mobocratic murderers indicted for common misdemeanor, with the whole legal machinery of Atlanta strained to overweave its Afro-American citizenry, it is natural that The Atlanta Constitution should approve the President's lecture on the law's delay, the criminality of Afro-Americans, and their duty to hunt down criminals to make a holiday for mob fury. We want no such lectures from President Roosevelt or Clark Howell. We believe in law and order maintained by the police and the courts, and we believe that the law should not be administered in the interest of one sort of citizens while another sort stand above the law. We believe in equality in just laws and in the administration of just laws. And we are opposed to shouldering all of the lawlessness and crime upon the shoulders of one sort of citizens while another sort; are equally lawless and criminal. Let the laws be just and hear justice upon all the citizens, and when they are violated let the officers of the law and not the citizens hunt down the criminals, and let the courts mute out justice to them. That is not done anywhere in the Southern States. It is not done in Atlanta to day. And Clark Howell knows very well that his assumption of virtue in this matter is only advanced to throw dust in the eyes of the people, just as he uses the falshood that rape is the most frequent cause of lynchings. The statistics of lynchings brought together by a Southern white professor and published in a white magazine refute the falshood, as we pointed out last week. Notther the President nor Clark Howell can galvanize a falshood into a truth. While we believe that President Roosevelt accepted and fulminated the error in good faith, Clark Howell and his sort use it, knowing it to be false, with the malicious purpose to confuse and mislead public intelligence. "But truth crushed to earth will rise again; the eternal years of God are hers." Degeneration And Crime. In a well-considered article in The Voice for November Mr. John T. C. Newsome reaches the conclusion that "the time has come when the Negro must choose for himself the permanent civil and political status he is to maintain in this country, and maintain it at all hazards." This is very true. It is the enunciation, however, of no new truth. We laid it down in the first address of the National Afro-American League, at Chicago, in 1800, and have been laying it down ever since. But truth is imperishable, and when it is slighted or ignored in the life of a people there nothing remains for the sentinels on the outer walls but to keep pegging away at until those who sit in outer darkness have the light forced upon them until it burns them and they be compelled to get a move on them. "Jehovah is over all and above all." says Mr. Newsome. That is also true as far as we have revelation of the mystery; but it is equally true that Jehovah bothers very little with those who do not help themselves, who expect others to do for them, that which they should do for A SQUARE FOR MY BOYS BLUE DIRECT TO SQUARE INFANT DISCHILD themselves, who wait for something to turn up like dear old Micawber and do not hustle while they wait. The Afro-American people have steadfastly refused to listen to the voices of such men as Mr. Newsome, prophets of the time who call them to arousement to action to preserve their just rights in American life, preferring to spend their time and energy in thinking, dreaming, talking and "making merry," whether on the theory that "tomorrow they may die" we know not. The Southern white people have waged a relentless and bloody crusade of oppression and suppression of the Afro-American people and their rights ever since the close of the War of the Rebellion. What have the Afro-American people done to protect themselves and their rights? Talked. They are talking now, when they should be doing things, when they should have a powerful civic organization, with plenty of money behind it, through which to fight the devil with the same sort of fire that he uses. Yes; degeneration and crime go hand in hand. We Need to Be Narrow and Self- Centered. In a signed article in The New York World last Sunday Dr. Booker T. Washington said: From several points of view I regret that conditions are such as to keep the attention of the Negro race centered so largely upon itself. It is with a race as with an individual when it is continually thinking about and discussing its own grievance it is likely to become narrow and self-centered. I mean it is unfortunate for an individual or a race when the subjective side of life is continually before it. I am not blaming the race for giving attention to itself in the manner in which it does, but I am expressing a hope that the race in the future will be in a position to take interest in questions other than the wrongs and its injustices inflicted upon it. That is a fair statement of the case. But we want the Afro-American people to become as narrow and self-centered as the white native and foreign Americans are, in all matters that concern them. Their grasp in white men, their unselfishness, in the past has brought upon them most of the troubles that now vex them. Mi-fortune is bringing them into closer sympathy and union, the closer the better. The white man has deceased and robbed the Afro-Americans of their faith and their substance, and it is high time for them to understand that they must look out for themselves and their interests, or be forced to go to the denunciation how wow. --- Money to Defend Our Soldiers. Some Afro-Americans are announcing very generally to the world that they are going to raise a large sum if money toward the support of the three discharged companies of Afro-American soldiers. We do not want to discourage these effects, but we do recall here a few hard, stubborn facts which they ought not to lose sight of. Those in charge of this effort announce through the public press that they are going to raise money enough to bring the three companies East and support them in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago during the winter. Now, unless the Afro-American acts in this case quite differently from the way he has acted since he has been free, we should advise these three companies to be very careful about accepting the brutal hospitality unless they are prepared to hustle for themselves, if there should come need to do it. The facts of history sustain this view of the matter. Only a few months ago, during the summer, it will be recalled that a convention of some kind met in Cambridge, Mass., and passed a resolution authorizing the raising of a million dollars to protect the rights of the race. Since the adjournment of this convention we heard nothing more of the movement, and we question whether a million cents all told has been raised. A little later on, a body of Afro-American people in Boston grew hysterical, called a meeting in Faneuil Hall about Rev. R. C. Ransom, and resolved to raise a sum of money to bring suit against the Pullman Car Company for the ejection of Rev. R. C. Ransom from one of its coaches. We question whether, since the Faneuil Hall meeting adjourned, one hundred cents, all told, has been raised for the purpose of bringing any such suit. To go a little further back, Afro-Americans, in New York and New England especially, remember that a few months ago, Mr. James H. Hayes, of Richmond, was holding public meetings of every character all through the North and East, raising money to overthrow the election laws of Virginia. Some money was contributed for this purpose, but we have heard nothing of any serious attempt to overthrow the Virginia election law. An attempt has been made through the Niagara Movement and through the Afro-American Council to raise money for various purposes, and except in the case of the Afro-American Council's last meeting in New York City, practically nothing has been raised. It requires something more than bysterics to raise money. The people who have wealth do not contribute money to people who are panic-stricken or who use their feelings more than they do their reason, and who do not contribute of their own money as an evidence of good faith. --- Interests of Colored Races Common. The Japanese question is assuming all sorts of shapes, the uphot of the whole business being that the people of the Pacific Coast and of the Southern States do not want the Japanese in the country any more than they want the Chinese, not only on account of their proficiency as laborers who can get along on wages that Americans refuse, but, now, on account of race and color. One Westerner comes out boldly and declares that this is a white man's country. Is it? Of course, that is Southern doctrine which the rest of the country has not yet accepted, and we doubt if it will, but it is just as well to keep the ear close to the ground. There will be some fun when the Americans and Europeans have got the lines clearly drawn against the people of the Continents of Asia and Africa on account of race and color, if the people of those countries will have wisdom, enough to draw closely together, as the Americans and Europeans will. The conflict that is coming may a century hence change the map of the world and the balance of power, as the colored races are numerically greater than the white races. We are sorry that we shall not be here to take a part in the shake-up. The ingresses of the colored races are common, and they will yet come to realize the fact. The November number of The Voice of the Afro-American has just reached us. The delay was caused by the sudden removal of the magazine from Atlanta to Chicago. Here after the magazine will be known simply The Voice. We think the curtailment of the name good. We wish the magazine well under its change of publication base and name. It fills a place in the intellectual life of the Afro-American people. Mr. J. Max Barber explains at length why he left Atlanta in a hurry, and we are not disposed to blame him for doing it, on the good theory that Mr. Barber wants to live, and we think he should, and we are sure he will never die for lack of selfless or of a rush of modesty to the heed. And he should find plenty of work to do in Chicago, in all of which that is good we shall have pleasure in commending him. He should have enough support of his magazine to place him above the necessity of being subsidized by anybody and enough freedom in Chicago not to have his mouth clinched as to the upper and neither lips by a peddook. Plenty of cash and a free mouth are good things for posses and to hold if you know how to use them. A lot of political slaves get no more respect from mankind than a lot of chattel slaves. That's the way Dr. Charles Spencer Morris of this town thinks about it, and we agree with him. --- We have never taken any stock in the reformed spelling movement which has for some time agitated the heads of a lot of good people and to which President Reeve felt gave a big boost by a sort of official order, but like some of the other official orders promulgated by the President, the simpler spelling one has come upon many an anachias. Certain of the Departments of the Government decline to adopt it, as they must construe the laws as spelt in the wording of them, and Congress shows a disposition to give the order a black eye. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who is the most progressive old man in the country, is an enthusiastic advocate of the new spelling. but backed by him and by the President it is likely to be sat upon by the country at large. We think there are many words in the language that could be reformed to advantage in the spelling. --- Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford is a woman of splendid intelligence and original thought in her prose, but she is not in her element when she meets association with the Musee, if we may judge by a poem on "Atlanta's Shame," which she contributes to *The Voices for November*. We give here a sample: She has sons of many kinds, she has sons She has sons of many kinds, she has sons of many hues. And she says she cares for all, but this we know. Though she exacts of each alike service, revenue, respect. The blacks get of her favor but scant show. This is not poetry. And do the yellows get any more show from Atlanta than the blacks? Children in misfortune, why should the dear yellows be left all of the ti to tread the wine-press alone and woes of the dear blacks be ever made theme of song and story? And thought which can best be expressed upon the wide prose plains of Olympus should not be forced upon the narrow Procrustean poetic bill of Parnassus. Congressmen want more pay, and several bills to give it to such of them as shall still be members of the House at the end of the present Congress have been introduced in the House of Representatives. We think that a Congressman should be worth more than $5,000 per annum, but it is a sad fact that the average Congressman is dear at any price. There is very great need of improving the Congressional breed. The dear Cubans are fighting over the spoils of office and doing all there is in their power to convince the American people, who do not need much convincing, that they are unit for self-government. It is very sad and mortifying to the friends of the Cubans everywhere that the situation is as discouraging as it is. --- We are pleased that Howard University, at Washington, is having a renewal of life under the new presidency of Dr. Wilbur P. Thirkield, a man prepared in the qualities of head and heart to do the work thoroughly to which he has been called. The movement for greater and more efficient industrial educational training in the United States is spreading all over. That is good. The higher education will take care of itself. [The editor of The Independent introduces thus the following poem, touching to all Afro-Americans, by John Greenleaf Whittier: "The following poem by Whittier is vouched to us by Mr. S. T. Fickard, editor of *The New Yorker*, and sent us by Charlotte Forten Grimke wife of Francis J. Grimke. D. D., the dittated colored clergyman of Washington, has dittated daughter of James Forten. She writes it." "In looking over a very old album which once belonged to an aunt of mine, I found the covered poem, written by Whitman, the author of my sister, the daughter of James Forten of Philadelphia. It has never been published, and was written when he was a young man, but shows so beautiful the warmth and kindness of his feeling for the wronged colored people which manifested itself even in his early youth, that it seems to me worthy of publication." Sisters! the proud and vain may pass ye by. With the rude taunt and cold malicious eye. Point the pale hand deridingly and slow, In scorn's vile gesture at the darker brow: Curl the pressed lip with sneers which might beet Some mocking spirit from the nether pit: Yet, from a heart whence Truth and Love have borne The last remains of Prejudice and Scorn. From a warm heart, which, thanks to God, bath felt Pride's chain to loosen and its iron melt. Fervent and pure let this frail tribute bear A Brother's blessing with a Brother's prayer. And what, my sisters, though upon your brows The deeper coloring of your kindred glows Shall I less love the workmanship of Him Before whose wisdom all our own is dim? Shall my heart learn to graduate its thrill? Beat for the White, and for the Black be still?

Next to Georgia, perhaps, the so-called race question has been made more prominent by South Carolina this year than by any other State. It has had its lynchings and some of its conspicuous men have spoken, including Senator Tillman, who has in particular uttered some vigorous opinions, many of which were more characteristic than excellent. Now, it is a curious fact that South Carolina, which has contributed so much the race problem and offered so much the way of remedy, has a most excellent law on its statute books which, if it were applied, might go far toward establishing a satisfactory basis for the solution of the problem itself. What more than anything else stands in the way of that solution is the sporadic rule the mob with nothing to pay—the ner in which law is shouldered aside in impunity and the verdicts of Judge such are substituted. It will be wholly able to devise a satisfactory solution the race problem until respect itself is restored. As The Union News and Courier says, being must be done to restrain the war we must confess that we are unable to maintain in this State a republican force of government." The same super direct attention to the staffeleer which we have just referred. It is ten years old in South Carolina now, but is almost a dead letter, so little use has been made of it, and if it has seemed worth while to call attention to it in South Carolina it may be supposed that most persons outside that State have forgotten it, if they ever knew of its existence. This law was enacted in 1806 and provides, among other things, that when death ensues from a lynching the county where the lynching takes place shall be liable for exemplary damages to the extent of not less than $2,000 in an action to be instituted by the legal representatives of the victim of the lynchers. The county may not plead the negligence en in force only one action has been brought under it, and although the suit was tried twice, the juries failed to agree. Yet there was no question as to the lynching nor as to the terms of the law. The point of the law would not be missed if it were rigorously enforced. It would soon appear that it was cheaper to let justice run its course in the courts than to indulge in lynchings, and the people who pay the costs and expenses of government would probably not allow the shiftless class that makes mobs to go on running up bills for the taxpayers to pay. What seems to be hard to find out is why the law has not been enforced. It may be that if it were made the duty of the State to institute suits under it it would not be so dead. --- REGISTER VERNON PROMOTES 'EM. He Has Been Active in Helping Young of the Race to Employment WASHINGTON, D. C. December 10. Since the Hon. W. T. Vernon has been in office as Register of the Treasury he has had several Afro-American employees promoted. A few weeks ago he secured the promotion of a number of minor employees, among whom was Mr. Robert P. Rhea, of Tennessee, a veteran of the Spanish-American War., promoted to chief messenger for the office. Another, Mr. Woodie Over, from laborer to messenger. He has also secured several very desirable transfers for other men from different offices. On last Monday he had Mr. Thomas H. R. Clarke promoted to a high-grade clerkship over much opposition, and after a hot contest for the position. The Register has also succeeded in landing several young men in good berths in Kansas, and several more are shortly to be appointed. When Mr. Vernon came to Washington last May after he received notice of his confirmation by the Senate, to be formally presented to the President and the Secretary, of the Treasury, he might have taken his oath of office at that time, although he was compelled to return to Quindaro and superintend the winding up of his school and other affairs, but did not do so, preferring to allow the Hon. J. W. Lyons to remain in office formerly two months before he returned to the city and qualified. He preferred to see an experienced head at the helm until such time as he would be able to get back and the charge of affairs himself. Mr. Vernon has just returned to the city from an and prolonged campaign tour in Pris other western States, where John work on the stump for the The following address was delivered by Dr. Becker W. Washington at the public meeting held in Mt. Olivet Baptist church on September 28, called by the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York: "Six years ago I paid a visit, one evening, to the trade classes Dr. Bulliley had started in his public school. It took courage and forewight to make that beginning in industrial education here in your city. "We need mental training—thorough discipline. In addition, our race, like all others, needs technical hand training to accompany it, and if we do not get that technical hand training we will; like other races, be less well off. Education increases our wants. The high school girl wants a spring hat, in the fashion; but if her ability to earn has not increased at the same time as her taste for such things, then is she in danger of temptation. There are thousands of mothers and fathers in this city who can so testify. "The same thing is true with respect to housing, and to all the other wants which enter into the life of the city. In the North, our people have many advantages—education, civil rights, travel. But when it comes to finding methods and places to use education and skill, we don't always find the. North so hospitable as the Southern States. The store or the factory does not open so quickly as the door of the school. "Then, there are so many opportunities for the individual to spend his money—especially our young people. My friends, we are the most generous people on earth. On Saturday night we divide up with every nationality in existence—Americans, Germans, Jews, Italians. Come forward and get your share! By Monday morning we have divided up with every people on the face of the earth. We have got the sense of having a reputation of being a thriftless race—being a poverty-stricken race. It has come about that when human sees the color of our face he associates it with poverty. Let us get people to associate competence with that color. "I do not mean that money or property is the highest thing in life—over and above all is high moral Christian character. That's the end. These are the means. It's a hard job to make a good Christian of a hungry man. The possession of a home or a bank account indicates the ability of a race to sacrifice to-day for the future—for the rainy days ahead. We don't look out for next week—for the year ahead. Let's change all this. We give changing it. Don't get the idea we are not making progress; but I want more progress. "Those of you who have come to the cities of the North from the South—keep that strong, healthy body you brought with you. They don't grow bodies here the way they do in Virginia—with plenty of sleep and fresh air and three meals a day. Keep that and build on it. We have got to perform service not merely as well, but better than others, if we are to succeed. You can't keep up with others if they sleep twelve hours a night and you fire. If any of you young men sit up and play cards until midnight, you can't keep up. Cut that habit out. No amount of co-operation will help you unless you do. Down South the boy was ten miles from a saloon, and then he could only get liquor on Saturday. Here there is a saloon on every corner, and it is open every day and most of the night. "At Memphis the other day I met a delegation of men from a Mississippi town—a State where we are made to believe the colored man has more to contend against than in most others. Yet, who were these men? One was introduced as the mayor of a town; one as the cashier of a bank; one as a director of that bank. How was that? They had created that town out of nothing—had created that bank. That was how one was a mayor and one a cashier and one a director and so on to the end of the list. We have got to be creators of something we must not be content to be so dependent upon the good will of others. If by some miraculous power a law were passed prohibiting the black people of New York from wearing shoes not made or sold by black people, what would follow? Every black man and woman in the city would be barefoot. You may have a shoe factory here, but I have never seen it. There may be a shoe店 owned by a colored man here—but I have yet to see it. Yet in Memphis there was a colored shoe store, a prosperous one. They had created that opportunity. Let us be creators of that kind of opportunity. There are so many of these opportunities. "We over emphasize our difficulties. If a colored man is refused a sandwich at a lunch counter, it takes up more space in the average colored newspaper than if he had started a bank. Our boy must begin where the Italian immigrant begins. He learns the word apple or peanut and sets up a stand. He saves, he works, and in time he becomes a master in these great cities. I have no patience with the doctrine that America has no opportunity. It is the best country I have ever seen. There's a future for us here. Let's make up our minds that with our heads and hands and hearts we are going ahead. "I have told the story before of the man I watched crabbing. He put the crabs in a big basket with low sides. 'Aren't you afraid those crabs will crawl out?' I said to him, for it looked that way. 'Watch them a minute and you will see,' he said. 'You will see that just when one of those big fellows reaches up and gets to the point where there is a chance of his getting out, one of the little fellows behind grabs a hold of him and pulls him down.' "In this great philanthropic effort in behalf of our people, let none of us be crabs. I see much good in this movement. There is salvation for our people in it. Let's spread it into every corner of New York and to other cities." Contributes to Soldierp' Fund. To the Editor of Tikh New York Find enclosed, a little mite to help out the fund in the effort to secure justice for our boys. I can't say that I agree with you as to the fact that I am out of the army, because I believe that is what is ambitions, and intelligent, demands and works such honor as the army offers to competent and ambitious young men. In the action Mr. Roosevelt unmasked himself, kicked over a bee-hive, and gave the Negroes an excellent excuse to sever the all too sentimental relation held with the G. O. P. New Rochelle, Nove 1. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1906. From The New York Sun. WARHAMSTER, November 14—As a social and politicalistor Ouba's rare question is of recent development. A Spanish decree issued in 1888 declared the freedom of all children born of slave mothers after September 17 of that year. An act of July, 1870, gave freedom to slaves who had survived under the Spanish flag, to slaves who had reached 60 years of age, and to those belonging to the State. An act of October, 1888, declared the slave system forever extinct in Spanish dominions. In 1890 a proclamation issued by Captain-General Calleja, virtually fixed the civic status of the blacks on a par with that of the whites. The color question had little or no place in Cuba's life and affaire prior to the American occupation in 1890. The Negro was a fold hand or a small farmer. His ambition was the ownership of a little patch of ground and a hut that he could call his own. As a slave he played his part in the ten years' war, 1869-78, by the orders of his master. As a freeman he fought in the war of independence, 1869-98. The color line adjusted itself. White and black worked together on the plantation and camped and fought together during the revolution. The caste feeling was vague and indefinite, because the race question was not agitated. The blacks and the mulattoes made no attempt to step over social or political boundaries. In a few instances of exceptional intellectual attainments there was a crossing of the line, but even in those cases there were decided social restrictions. Black men and mulattoes were members of the Cuban Asamble; Morua Delgado and Juan Gumiberto Gomes were in the constitutional convention; Delgado is a Senator, and there are several coloured men in the House. All these mingled with their white associates on terms of entire equality in the work of the various bodies, in their political organisations and on the streets, but very rarely indeed in the homes. There was a decided shudder in Havana when in the spring of 1890 the uncouth and illiterate Negro, General Quintin Bandera, with his staff of colored men, occupied rooms for a few days, at the Hotel Inglaterra. At the close of the revolution in 1808 the blacks as a whole dropped into their accustomed place and resumed their industries. Some remained in the field until the final disbandment in the spring of 1800. A tendency to race solidarity first made its appearance during the American occupation, a result, beyond any doubt, of the attitude of the thousands of Americans, soldiers and civilians, who swarmed the island at that time. This attitude and its influence was in large degree, undoubtedly, unconscious. The Americans took with them their more or less pronounced race prejudice. Gradually the blacks drew more and more together, though not at all aggressively. The movement might be regarded rather as instinctive, a physical association of those who saw a barrier being raised against them. So far as the law was concerned their civil rights were fully recognised. General Lodlow closed and kept closed an American barroom because its proprietor refused to serve the mulatto General Eligio Ducase, who entered the place as a guest of white companions. Such race question as there really is began to take on definite form in 1809. Cuba's Constitution simply presumes the political equality of white and black by stating that "Cuban citizens are native born or naturalized," and that "all Cubans have equal rights before the law." With the usual exceptions, "all male Cubans over twenty one years of age have the right of suffrage." Even under such conditions Cuba's race question has been of slow development, and it would to-day be of so little importance as to be practically non-existent were it not for the helpful work of a few who seek their own advancement by promising the blacks a share in their success. So far as political affiliation is concerned, were the Moderates to start a revolution to morrow the percentage of blacks in the ranks of the insurgents would be the same as if it was in the so-called Army of the Constitution in the recent trouble. The Liberals are the party of the majority and therefore have the greater number of Negroes, but they also have a larger number of whites. I think it is a mistake to regard the Moderates as the party of white respectability and the Liberals as the party of Negrodom. So far as race is concerned, the two are on an equal footing under normal political conditions. Juan Gualberto Gomez was a Moderate until a political deal threw him out of the seat in the House to which he was unquestionably elected. Morna Delgado was a Moderate until the fusion of last fall placed him in the Liberal ranks. Within the last few weeks, almost within in the last few days, the Cuban race question has assumed a prominence which it never held before. The conditions which attend its appearance leave only one inference possible. That is, that some, perhaps many, of the leaders of the recent movement promised the blacks a generous share in the fruits of the uprising in order to obtain a following, and the redemption of those pledges is not immediately forthcoming. If that is the case, as it seems to be, certain white politicians may find that they have stirred up a black hornet's nest. The situation may even become dangerous. Praise for Lawyer Atkins. To the Editor of the New York-Aur. I chanced to be in court in City Hall, New York, a few days ago when an incident occurred which, to my mind, deserves imputation. Attorney John H. Atkins, an Afro-American, was the lawyer for the plaintiff in a certain case there. Mr. Atkins had just concluded the examination of a witness when the presiding judge said to him: "Mr. Atkins, I must compliment you upon the way you frame and put your questions to your witnesses; they are clear and concise." This attack me rather forcibly because I derive great pleasure in attending some sessions of the court in my clates and this was the first time I had heard an attorney complimented from the bench for like reasons. Taking into consideration the fact that a colored person must, of necessity, be extra good in his or her profession to gain recognition at all when breaking into a hold in which the Caucasian predominates, it should be gratifying to the race to know that I can make the trouble to publicly compliment and that I am before score or more of lawyers of the opposite race upon his thorough knowledge of any part of his chosen profession. Such wide publicity is invariably given those happenings which emanate from the criminal class among us that we should lose no opportunity to publicly announce every noteworthy accomplishment of the better class.

This Company has as its principal object the better housing of the Negro Tenant Cities. As a result of its operation for a period of a little over a year, it can point to the central of twenty-one (21) New York City Apartment Houses, valued at over Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000). Nine (9) of this number the Company own, and the other sixteen (16) are held by the Company under long lease. These houses rent for Ninety Thousand Dollars ($800,000 a year. This fact will send it indicative the splendid possibilities in the way of Dividends in store for stockholders in this Company.

Athena of Bap Church tells of the Work of Education in the South—Other Speech at Dispensary Missionary Meeting of the Episcopal Church in Brooklyn—Bishop Burges Office Resolution on Cruelties in the Congo Free State. The Afro-American and the possibilities attainable by him were the general themes of the addresses delivered last Friday night in Association hall in the Y. M. C. A. building, Brooklyn, at the annual diocesan missionary mass meeting of the Episcopal Church. The Right Rev. Frederick Burges, bishop of the Long Island diocese, provided at the meeting, which was attended by an audience composed of both races. The Right Rev. David H. Greer, condi- tor bishop of the New York discus- sion, was the principal speaker. He said in part: "One of the hardest problems that is before this country is the Negro pro- blem. In fact, it has ever been the pro- blem of the country since the beginning of the history of that state. Martin handling the incumpliance of the Negro, the question still remains what to do with him. He has been emancipated, but she has not been exterminated. In fact he has rather greatly increased. Concerning the Negro, we are confronting a stupen- dous, a portentous fact. What is to be done? Sometimes the hardest questions are answered in the simplest fashion. The solution of the Negro problem can be summed up in one word: Negroism. In the Negro this and he will solve his own problem; will work out his own salvation. "He has been solving this since his emancipation forty years ago. He is seizing and using the opportunities offered him and is advancing wonderfully. To-day in this country the Negro is owning and publishing 450 newspapers. He has written 350 books. He has erected school houses, seminaries and colleges to the value of $10,000,000; there are 30,000 Nero teachers. The church property owned by the Negro is valued at $29,000,000. The church property valued at $350,000,000 and in the expression to often used by Booker T. Washington, he has learned from his white brother not to make a full report or to make a full return on the value of his property. "It is wonderful when we realize the marvelous results accomplished by the Negro in forty years. A race subjected for centuries to slavery, and with centuries and centuries of barbarianism and savagery back of it, in the last forty years has made wonderful strides. There is nothing like it in the whole history of civilization. Give the Negro time and opportunity and he will be a great, self-respecting and courageous character force. After what he has accomplished in the past forty years, what is he not capable of accomplishing in the next forty or fifty years or even in a century? not in the past, the problem up before your eyes and look directly at it, but look at it through the medium of the retrospective. Then look at it in the perspective, and you will see that the problem is capable of solution." Bishop Greer cited a number of instances of Negro education now going on in the South, mentioning the Hamptons and Tunkeecee Institute, the Bishop Parne Divinitie School, at Peterburg, Va. the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School at Lawrenceville, Va., and St. Augustine's School at Raleigh, N. C. The three latter schools are maintained by the American Church Institute for Norcross, an organization created by the Board of Missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church and it is the hope of the association to put these institutions on a substantial basis, like the two former institutions. For this purpose it is making an appeal in this and other dioceses for the sum of $200,000 to increase the efficiency of the schools. George Foster Peabody, treasurer of the association, addressed those present in regard to this and appealed for funds to assist in the work. Other speakers were R. Fulton Cutting, president of the Citizens' Union; Dr. S. G. Atkins, corresponding secretary of Education of the African Methodist Zion Church, who spoke of the work of education and the effort to uplift the masses of the South, and Dr. W. Thomas Lobett, of Norfolk, Va., who spoke on the good being accomplished through the medium of St. Paul's School. Before the meeting adjourned Bishop Burgess offered a resolution concerning the cruelty, suppression and degradation of the people of the Congo Free State by the subjects of King Leopold, in their effort to enrich themselves through the rubber industry. The resolution petitioned the House of Representatives to investigate the conditions, with a view to having freedom restored to these people. The resolution was adopted by a standing vote. The speeches were interspersed with vocal selections by the Gloe Club of the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School. MASS MEETING AT ST. MARK'S. Prominent Speakers. Afro-American and White—Large Collection Taken To Aid Soldiers. Afro-Americans of New York and neighboring cities met at St. Mark's church last Thursday evening to protest against President Roosevelt's action in discharging without honor the three Negro companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. Tremendous cheering greeted the speakers of whom half a dozen were Negroes and two white. A collection was taken up for the fund of the Constitutional League in defending and otherwise caring for the accused soldiers. Gichrist Stewart, who has just returned from an investigation of the Brownsville affair, said in his speech: "I have evidence but a by indisputable affidavit that will awaken the conscience of the American people to a realization of the greatest crime ever perpetrated in the country. The President in his message to Congress says he will protect the Japanese (foreigners) with all the forces at his command. The black citizens of this Republic are entitled to equal protection." Gen. Henry L. Tremaine and Andrew R. Humphrey, president and secretary of the Constitutional League, also spoke. The Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris, pastor of St. Mark's, who presided said: "I did the President mean to read a lesson to the army? If so he made a mistake, for nowhere has he been more severely criticised. He can tear the uniforms from the black men who ascended San Juan Hill with him, but he cannot disgrace and dishonor them. We did not need the lesson, and we spurn the verdict. We are ready to carry the case to the courts. What did he think when he read in the papers that even Ben Tillman was the author of the battle of El Canyon Theodore Roosevelt from the black man was fit to drink from the same canteen with him." Ex-Congressman White of North Carolina said in part: "With my experience as a prosecuting attorney and my knowledge of the rules of evidence, I wouldn't convict a yellow, short-tailed car on the evidence in this case. Now, are there 500,000 out of the 10,000,000 negroes in this country who will give $1 a year for self-defense?" Neatly, everyone relied a hand. THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1906. WASHINGTON BOOK 5. Collegiate-Bachelor Education by Dr. T. Fiskhill-Pamela H. Gordyryk-Michaela-Gordon Opa-Spencer-Guston-Gordon and Scott Winn with Instructor Chambers. Washington, December 10.—As indicated in these subscripts, the name of P. L. Chardon against the Board of Education was postponed until the 10th line, to determine an issue of fact—whether a Supervisor of schools is an officer or a teacher. By this time Superintendent William R. Chancellor, who is still the most talked-about man in the District, will have returned from his tour of inspection of schools in Nassville, Turkegee and Atlanta, with material for new surprises. If in fact Congress has not some on its own account. Contempt and injunction cases concerning the Malish Baptist church controversy occupied Chief Justice Chabaugh's court recently. Attorneys Thomas L. Jones and William Calvin Chase represented Rev. J. Anderson Taylor and Attorney Joseph H. Stewart the opposing elements. There will be a cession of hostilities until December 14, when, under conditions fixed by the Court, a pastor will be ceded. It is generally believed that the successful man will be Rev. J. M. Waldron, now of the Bethel Baptist church, Jacksonville, Florida. Rev. Waldron fifteen years ago pastored the Berean Baptist church, and his wife, the sister to Hon. James C. Matthews, of Albany, N. Y., and of Miss Mary Matthews, of Brooklyn, was formerly a teacher in the Washington schools. Asbury M. E. church has just celebrated its seventieth anniversary and a $3,500 rally at the same time. Dr. Thirkield, president of Howard university, preached there in the morning service Sunday, with the university choir, Miss L. Childers, conductor, furnishing special music. The Metropolitan Baptist church, Rev. M. W. D. Norman, pastor, is just concluding a series of interesting sermons on "The Seven Seals," that have attracted many visitors. He planned to raise $2,500, and there is every indication at present writing that he will succeed. Dr. Norman is one of the latest acquisitions to our city pulpits. Before coming here he had been dean in Shaw university, Raleigh, N.C. The award to W. S. Pittman for having submitted the best plans for the Negro building at the Jamestown Exposition has been quite favorably noticed in the daily papers. It seems that both his and those submitted by Mr. J. A. Lankford were deemed suitable by the supervising architect of the treasury and the latter was thought to be a safe winner, but the former's clear and businesslike statement, which showed him to be a master of his plans, gave him the victory. When Mr. Coleridge-Taylor was here two years ago, Dr. John Gordon was president of Howard university. Your readers will recall the social slight paid him then. This time he was entertained by Dr. Thirkield in the president's house, and the composer spoke interestingly to the students on the artistic value of the folk song. Our distinguished guest was also entertained at dinner by Dr. J. R. Wilder who spent some time abroad last summer. The Citizens' Committee on public school affairs, as they are known, who have in public meetings and in the local newspapers championed the cause especially of Mrs. Anna J. Cooper, principal of the M street high school; Mr. John L. Love, a teacher in the same school, and Mr. James B. Clark, a supervisor in the old regime, all Afro-Americanus, and the whites of the same grade, have presented their petition to Congress and it has been referred to the Senate Committee on the District of Columbia and printed. With the hearings assured by Senator Galingen and the outcome of the Cardozo case, every and quite an uncertain question of The Citizens Committee on Public School Affairs is officered by Rev. S. L. Corrothers, president; Charles E. Lane, secretary; Rev. E. H. Hunter, treasurer Heretofore the Negro has led in efforts for suffrage here, but now a citizen's (white) association has been the first to approve the bill just offered to give to the National capital two representatives in Congress such as are allowed territories. Bills to give Washington the elective franchise generally omitted from local politicisms. This is the remedy proposed by a member of the House District Committee and will meet with general approval, because of dissatisfaction with much of the recent legislation in local affairs. Apparently at the Congregational church last Friday of Mr. S. Coleridge-Taylor compositions, followed the same lines as the initial one at Mendelssohn hall in New York and was an artistic success. The choral society will next study "The Messiah." Dr. Samuel Roger Watts, the well known physician, was buried Sunday, December 2. The ceremonies were held at the St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal church, of which he was a communicant. Interment was at the Harmonia center, of which he was a member of the Mexico-Chirurgical Society. There was a large crowd of citizens in attendance. Dr. Watts had just reached three-score years. He was skilled in his profession and most highly esteemed. Two years ago he attended an international Masonic gathering in Switzerland as representative of the Washington craft, visiting rate gatherings in England and Fennsylvania. Two years ago the Shriner's councils in Macon, Georgia The editorial expression of THE AVE on those sections of the President's message which especially concern our people, has the unanimous approval of all classes. There is no mistaking the feeling of the race on Roosevelt's executive order as to the 25th Infantry and his illogical and inconsistent declarations on lynching and the education necessary for the Afro-American. Roosevelt has not only made himself an impossibility in 1908, but he has damned to defeat any candidate hearing his label. The vote of the race in New York should see to it that he is a possibility for the United States Senate only by local executive appointment. The president of Howard University, Dr. W. P. Thirkind, is appearing in the pulps and the platforms here in such a way as to together personal influence in the community and popularize the institution. It has just and very tasteful souvenir setting forth most artistically the superb location and large equipment of this great university. Alfred Pope, one of the oldest citizens of Georgetown, has passed away. He was born in Saigon, N. C., in 1823. He came here in 1836 where he has resided ever since. For several years he was proprietor of a coal and wood yard. He was an official for years of the Mt. Zlion M. E. church, a charter member of Union Lightodge G. U. O. of O. F., also of Widows' Sone F. A. A. M., as well as a number of the grand lodges, of the highest branches of the fraternity. He leaves widow; four children and eight grandchildren.
