THE NEW YORK AGE. ALL About the Brownville Mile-up- Club Homestead and Gun Tuba On These Pool by the Wendy Sump Between the Two Good Men—President Checkmate of Appointment in the Senate by Appointment in Ohio Discussed and Provided Mr. Graham's Pause. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11—Following the engagement in the Senate over the Brownville affray there came another. But in this struggle the President acted the role of champion in his own guise, while his great antagonist in the Senate, Senator Forsyth, appeared again as the unqualified champion of constitutional liberty and the rights of the colored battalion, discharged by the President autocratic order without heboro- ing the Senate. This event occurred at the famous Gridron Club diner, at which both the President and the Senator were honored guests. The President, who seems to be laboring under the strange delusion that he can handle his side of the Brownville controversy better than anybody else from his quarter of the list, took occasion to demonstrate to the assembled guests theILITY of the current belief in the superior, if not proper progeny of his mighty arm and mighty lance. Without warning, without any notice of an approaching collision between himself and his dauntless and unhonored antagonist, the President with lance in rest spurred the steed of his throne and fatal verbosity right straight against the unguarded helmet of the victorious knight of the cause of conquestion, the superior and of valor fallow. To the antitheism and almost consternation of everybody present the point up Utica in the White House slew swift like a bolt of battle at the unvisored head of his great antagonist in the Senate. The sack of the encounter was terrific, but even the dust had cleared was not the Sir Gulahad of the mate who was unhorsed and rolling in dust of the improvised arena, as the warbler begged to be the aggressor in the struggle at the now famous Gridiron Club diaper. the conduct of the President at a dinner where all subjects of a controversial nature are strictly tabooed by the Club and its guests is entirely characteristic of the man. Without thought of consequences to himself or to anybody else, in his impulsive way he saw an opportunity to give his side of the Brownville and its leaders with headgear used to take advantage of it. He got the opportunity to deliver himself of some of the things which were rankling in his heart against his opponents in the Senate in general and against Senator Foraker in particular, but the opportunity which he so elicited upon with such little deliberation and foresight, proved within his wraps to be an occasion of his defeat and humiliation. He got off in earnest and his great leader on the "academic" character of its discussion on the Brownville affray and the utter furtility of all such discussions, or even of any action which the Congress might take against him, as he, the head of the Army was concerned. He mapped his finger in the faces of those members of his party in the Senate who dared to dispute his claim to do the work involved in the All-Crowned unified defense in his Draconian decree, discharging them without honor and without trial of any kind, and on a mere presumption of their guilt. Of course as long as the President was on his feet and holding forth in his high and mighty way he encountered no obstacle, scriunk no snag, because he had the floor and the ears of the club and its success to do as he did. He had his heart in doing without apparently a thought of what might happen to him after he had taken his seat and had shut off the ill-considered and impetuous current of his tactless speech. He never seems to imagine that there is any hot hereafter to his words or acts. The words once spoken by him, the deeds once done by him, he seems ever prone to conceive of himself but praise, and the second nothing but men's wonder and everlasting honor. Experience seems to teach nothing, although if heeded it ought this time to teach him that blame end of praise may follow words of him and dissonor acts of his. No. none of these things appear to move him, for he has ever acted on something smart, to do something sensational and spectacular, and I will say that something, do that something though the heavens and the earth too tremble about my ears and the ear of those near me." Like blind Sampson the fine instinct of the man crouch his enemies is overpowering at times that he will be able with the first emesis he is able to lay his hands upon, although in doing so he crushes at the same time himself and his friends. And so, when the President sat down at the Gridiron Club dinner, doubtless much pleased with himself and totally oblivious of the ominous effects produced by his ill-timed speech, he found himself forthwith confronted by the hot hereafter of his ill-judged words in the flaming figure of the great Senator from Ohio. The resounding lash of daunting force upon him beyond four walls of the banquet room, the merciless swing of the fire of them hit into the quivering flesh of the occupant of the White House. The keen blade of Senator Foraker's reply sharper than any two-eled sword divided the Presidential assumption of arbitrarian power sheer away from his rightful constitutional authority, and covered with swift and monetely strokes all of the swollen and diseased parts from the healthier, constitutional tissues of the great office, although in doing so the great surgeon had abhorred his patient sore and schag from his head to his feet, and all the languing nerves in his plectic assumpti a quivering with moral pain. We do not think that bold and imitative as in the President he will have the temerity to deliver a lecture again to the Senate on the Brownville army when Senator Foraker is present. For as a burnt child dreads the fire, so will the President dread to provoke even the wrath of his great and victorious opponent. He will develop instead another and less dangerous attack, doubled, in the future. In the future, did we say he has already selected a fresh point of consulting the position of the chief officer of the block bastion and the chief officer of the American city in those two color preman, and of servitude. What is a farreth of attack selected by the chief of the Army by the navy, presently see. The Gridiron Club speeches followed the atturment we were and those led by Foratth door of the You were follede with American Hope of to tr. to the Fanta of the Manor or the Krident. point some colored man to the United States curryworship at Chennai, the home of Senator Purdue, and that he intended to do this without conferring, as in customary in such cases, with the Senators of Ohio. Instead of conferring with these two chosen leaders of the great State of Ohio, the prum reports that he has called in to his constituents the candidate in the primaries that the disqualified Mr. Purdue, Washington of Alabama. This meant more on the part of the President is in the nature of a division, intended to do for Senator Fischer what the automatic order of the head of the Army in relation to the Brownville affray has done—involved him in the political parity, which he finds it almost impossible to escape without a serious law of political prudence, popularity and power in the presidential election. In the President blamed Senator Fischer more than any other personal agency, or in fact than all other personal agencies put together. Great forces are back of Senator Forker and great forces are back of the President, and the struggle between them means disaster, destructive passage to one or the other of the champions and of one or the other of the mighty forces led respectively by each Senator. Further he has back him the great body of the powerful causes surrounding Republican party. The President has back of him more powerful individual members of his party, and the industrial and money interests represented by these individuals. Within his party the forces and interests opposed to him overmatch by far the forces and interests arrayed on his side. He has therefore been compelled in the struggle to enlist the support of democratic voters in his powerful words meant that he has fighting under his banner the solid forces, with a single solitary exception, of the Southern Democrats, who hate the colored people and who are resolved to undo for them all their rights and liberties under the Constitution. In this posture of the contending forces we regret exceedingly the wholly selfish use which the President is making of Mr. Washington the country can risk the hazard to be moved as a mere pawn on this chess board of the President. There is nothing for them in such a situation but peril and loss. For such a position between these contending forces gaposes them under contendous difficulty of the belligerents. If the President must consult Mr. Washington in such matters then the conference ought to be regarded as strictly confidential, and Mr. Washington's name and the counsels or suggestions made by him ought not to be given to the press by the President. For while publicity in such a case may serve the President's purpose or scheme, it seems more likely that Washington, but must operate instead to his hurt, to the hurt of Tuskegee and to the great cause of the race in America for long years to come. In this Brownsville affair the well-higher universal sentiment and sympathy of the colored people are with Senator Foraker and against the President. There are exceptions. It is true, but those exceptions are like angels' vision, few and far between, and in almost every case they are of an intersected nature, as coming from individuals, who, being in office, desire to gain promotions in the public service, or also they come from others, who being out of office, desire with all their small souls to get into the public service, with their pitiful exceptions, and receive people of the community with the Senator from Ohio and against the President. And that they are teototally and absolutely right, we have not the slightest doubt whatever. It is besides the only safe position for the race to occupy under the circumstances. Then let it stand its ground firmly to the end. ARCHIBALD H. GRIMKZ. GOV. HUGHES DEFIES PLATFORM LEAVES POLITICIANS IN COLD Decides on Questions on Merits and Wants Things Done in Honest Way —Has Faith in the People. ADAMAN: February 9. Some of Gov. Hughes's remarks at the State League of Clubs dinner last night will interest some politicians. Here they are: "Twice a day," he said, "I meet people, not the common people, but the uncommon people. I mean the newspaper men. They ask me all sorts of questions and show me how little I really know. To-day one of them told me that I was down to speak at a dinner to-night, and asked me what I was going to say, and told him I didn't know. But he said, "Greeting is the first dinner of strictly partisan character which you have addressed and we would like to know what you are going to say." "Now," continued the Governor, "I haven't one face for organizations of citizens and another for a Republican gathering. If what I have said at these gatherings is sound it will seem good to me to exploit it in the bosom of my political family. I am nothing of a politician. There are here here who could give me lessons in politics. But it seems to me there is only one kind of politics that has a chance of winning, and that is the kind which gives efficient government. I am profoundly impressed with the fact that the people are tired of all kinds of politics which do not work for their final good, their real interests and the betterment of administration." "The time has gone by when any politician or officeholder who is detected in using opportunities morphed him to feathery groundwork and any politician who because of his position seeks to advance his personal interest deserves no respect as a politician. "The Republican party has an unexamined opportunity. It is free to do what it will. It has its future in its own keeping. So far as I am concerned, disagreeable and unpleasant as it is for me at times to run counter to the free and generous and human way of dealing with matters of importance. I am confirmed in my belief that the true plan is to solve each question by itself when presented to the end that honest and efficient government may be secured. That is what the people want. At any rate, that is what I propose to give them." EXPECT VARDAMAN TO WIN. Some to Be Grinding Over John Sharp William for the Senate. CANTON, Miss., Feb. 6.—The Senatorial contest in this State is becoming live. From all parts evidence accumulates that the House minority leader, John Sharp Williams, is losing ground, and that Gov. Vardaman will defend him at the August primary. There are two reasons for this. In the first place Vardaman has given the State the kind of an administration it likes, and in the second the great body of Minimolim votem favor Government ownership of railways and the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, both of which THE LIFE OF MARY C. MAYER FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND HIS BEAUTIFUL HOME AT ANACOSTIA, NEAR WASHINGTON, D.C. DOUGLASS MEMORIAL HOME Tuskegee Ala., February 11—It is now nearly twelve years since Frederick Douglass to whom the Afro-American people gave more than to any other man of our race, for the part he took in securing our freedom, died in Washington. His home at Anacostia, in the suburbs of Washington, still remains, however, and an effort is now being made to provide this house with its memories and tradition, which it has a special interest in Douglass and the Afro-American people. An association, known as the Frederick Democrat. Historical Association, has FREDERICK DOUGLASS AND H SUCCESSEUL EVANGELIST St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion Church's Revival—Rev. Florence Randolph Evangelist — Thirty-eight People Converted. JERSEY CITY, February 11.—Good has come out of Israel and Jersey City has been in the throes of a genuine old-fashioned revival. Every knee has bent, every head has bowed: men and women cast aside denominations, put creeds behind them. God in front of them and joined in the pursuit to a common end, the salvation of souls. For two weeks St. Mark's A. M. E. Zion church on Montmorency street, for almost a half century, ceased religious activity and colored folk in lower Jersey City was nightly the accee of these great meetings. The pastor, R. V. R. Ball, D. D., decided that the time was appropriate for a revival. The oft-repeated assertion that Jersey City is more interested in temporal than spiritual affairs fell like sounding brass and thinking cymbals on his ears and he began preparations for the event. For assistance he looked without, not within, and found whom he sought in Rev. Florence Ramphilhite the all-time Newman engraver of this city. In night in the church; day after day in the homes of the people, this woman of God labored. She did not use her abundant allureance in painting vivid picture of hell's fire and brimstone, but to bring a message of love and good cheer. So effective is she that oldaints and youngaints, backsliders and penitent sinners all found themselves under the spell, a fascination as it were of this great agent of the Divinity and joined in the swell of the chorus. "I will trust in the Lord." Mourner after mourner arose from the bench of penitence and declared his or her sins, and went on their ways rebuilding. Those nightly scenes are indelibly impressed on the minds of all who attended and carried me back twenty years to the days of my early boyhood in the dear old Southland, where the old Christians did not wait for revivals to glorify the Ossinian One, and never tired of singing "Give --- best formed to effect this purpose. The people of our race have a sure opportunity to honor the memory of Frederick Duquesne and to show their love and reverence for the man, who during the trying, times before and after the war, embedded in his own life, more than any other man of our race, the aspirations and the hopes of our people. I have the full Association to assist in the securing the comparatively small sum of money, amounting to some $5,600 and interest, necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and so secure the property for all time to the association and the Afro-American people of the United States. We should make Cedar Hill to our people what Mt. Vernon is to the white race. All of this can be accomplished if everyone in the community rents a tribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by post office order, check or otherwise as soon as this case.

Thirty-eight souls saved is the record; the greatest revival in thirty-two years, more than a soul for each year of spiritual latitude. The eminent New England divine, Dr. Horace Bushnell, said, there is a divine plan in the life of every man. We know that the man in the concrete sense, for we are impressed with the divine plan in the life of Rev. Mrs. Randolph, the salvation of souls, the preaching of the gospel; her influence at the heartstone is as great as in the pulpit or on the lecture platform. In the life of this remarkable young man, we see his devotion and conservation of "A prophetess with honor in her own country and among her people." NEED FOR NEW KIND OF SCHOOL Public Education Association Urges Breeder Industrial Training. That a school of an entirely new kind is needed in New York was the unanimous opinion of a large conference which assembled, upon the invitation of the Public Education Association, yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Victor Sorchan, to consider the need of a broader industrial training in the public schools. John F. Reigart, principal of Public School No. 2, conducted the conference. He said that children were eager to leave school to get their working papers at the public school. Because the school subjects did not interest them. Miss Julia Richman, in whose district, is the school for incorrigible and truant boys, showed that unmanageable boys who could not be held in the ordinary schools were ready to attend school in the evening out of hours, if only they were admitted to the workshop. Several speakers agreed that there was no difference of opinion among the Board of Superintendent, with Superintendent Maxwell at their head, about the need in New York for intermediate technical and trade schools; but said Professor Richard of Teachers College, little else exists upon which to determine exactly what to do in such schools. The Public Education, Association is forging a committee to urge the Board of Education to establish one such school as an experiment. nunciation is rud. I am making the appeal by the authority of the officers of the Frederick Doughns Memorial and Historical Association and with the approval and approval of Mr. Doughns immortal family.

After the money has been retired to clear off the mortgage, steps will be taken to put the place in condition to serve the purposes mentioned.

RABBI JOSEPH SILVERMAN SEES DANGER AHEAD OF US Swipes American Race Tendencies Mercilessly. In his sermon on "Lincoln and the Race Problem," at the Temple Emmanuel last Sunday morning, the Rev. Joseph Silverman told his congregation that Abraham Lincoln was a "man messiah who lived and labored within the memory of the generation," and declared that, with which we might teach principles of preceptual use and ethical will, the virtues of logic and philosophy or the text of all the world's Bibles, we shall never eclipse the lasting benefit of one such virtuous character as Lincoln. He said, in part: "Abraham Lincoln is justly called the navigator of the Union, as Washington was called the father of the country. He eloquently championed the cause of the slave." "Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty stupid. As a nation we begin by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically word it. 'All men are equal except the Negro. when the 'know-nothings' get control it will read. 'All men are created equal except Negroes and foreigners.' When it comes to this I shall prefer emigration to some country where they make no difference to me. We will not instance, where demotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy. In reality, the country is still divided on the Negro question. It is no longer a question of slavery, but a question of race equality. In this race problem we should use the rule of noblesse oblige and should follow the rule that the strong should help the weak, the superior级 kindly with the weaker, the inferior级 kindly with the least adopt a course of non-interference, if not of earnest help. Let there be no hostility, no opposition, no unfairness, no injustice practiced, either North or South, against the Negro." From The Indianapolis World. As long as the second section of the 14th Amendment is openly disregarded by both houses of Congress, it hardly behooves any one to talk very loudly about devotion to the Constitution. Before he made the gift of $200,000,000 to the General Bhattacharie Board on Thursday, he, Mr. John D. Buchaffler, and calculated that the disposition of the income Don that sum by the methods adopted by the board would mean that within ten years, the total amount contributed to, or available for, educational work in the United States would exceed $200,000,000, and might reach $200,000,000. This was reversed by Frederick T. Cain, who represents Mr. Buchaffler in philanthropic matters. Almost every gift made by the board is conditioned upon the making of an additional, and nearly always much larger, sum by the persons in control of the school or college making the application for aid. The statement issued by the board that thus far it has made conditional gifts approximating $1,677,000, and that various colleges to which this sum was offered are have raised something more than $3,220,000 in order to comply with the provisions of the gifts seems to indicate that the dispositions of the board are to be at least trebled. But Mr. Rocheffeller's latest gift has even greater significance, according to imam Shaykh Muhammad yesterday. It occurs to promote the agricultural rejuvenation of the entire South. When Mr. Rockefeller in 1802 made his gift of $1,000,000 to the General Education Board, then only an association of private citizens, he specified that it should be used for the study and promotion of education in the Southern States. In cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture the board has done much successful work in this line. It began by teaching the farmers and planters how to increase the productivity of the soil. The intention was to increase the profits from the land and in that way enable the people to support better schools. Up to this time agricultural instruction provided by the farmers was limited to the States. Now, with the additional millions at their disposal, it is the intention to spread this work into all parts of the South. Mr. Gates explained the reason for the statement in the letter which John D. Rockefeller, Jr., sent to the board upon the gift that the donor or his associates would direct the use of the whole or any part of two-thirds of the total of $22,000,000. When the first gift of $1,000,000 was made, Mr. Rockefeller directed that it should be used in the Southern States. When the second gift of $10,000,000 was made he stipulated that it should be used to promote "comprehensive system of higher education in the United States." The gift it impaired to devote any part of the $10,000,000 to aiding academics or common schools. Now when Mr. Rockefeller decided to give $25,000,000 more, Mr. Gates explained he gave one-third of that amount to the board outright, to be used in such manner as it should determine. Mr. Rockefeller had not yet made up his mind what specific branches of educational work he should aid especially. That he had some idea, however incompletely developed, of further fusions in some particular division or direction would be a natural inference from the reservation he made in the letter. Just what his plans are have not been revealed. Mr. Gates was asked if, in view of Mr. Rockefeller's great interests, at the outset, in the economic and educational conditions in the Southern States, it would not be natural to expect that it is his intention to broaden the work in that suit and be replied that it certainly will be the aim now to spread the work into all parts of the agricultural South. Mr. Gates said that at the last meeting of the board it was decided to take the agricultural development work into Virginia next, and it was his opinion that other States would be invaded by the instructors as soon as possible. INQUIRY MAY LAST ALL SUMMER Senators Investigating Brownville Affair Believe They Will Have to Examine Every Man. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The Brownvilleville inquiry by the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, may continue at intervals for several months. Many men for whom the inquiry has been asked have not been found, and others are in Texas attending the court-martial of the white officers of the discharged Negro battalion. The investigation has proceeded far enough to convince the members of the committee that the only way to get at the bottom of the affair is by the slow process of examining every man to see what he has done. The officers of B and D Companies have been on the stand, and no evidence has been secured indicating that these men were guilty of the offences charged against them. It has been brought out that the C Company men had a chance to secure gums, through face, that their guns, racks, broken arms, and similar members of that company is expected to be of greater interest. The feature of the testimony that most interests the members of the committee is that all of the men on the stand have said that they would be able to distinguish the report of the Springtime committee to the Kraig Jorgenson riffle from the reports of other witnesses have said that they did, not hear any army riffle. The testimony of the white officers, now under court-martial, is awaited on this point. Several Senators who have declared that they believe some members of the Negro battalion were guilty of the shooting new white officers should go on the stand and say that they could not detect the reports of Springfield or Kraig guns. The committee takes it for granted that soldiers are able to distinguish between the reports of various makes of guns. Senator Foraker has said that he will at the lotion of the affair if it should take the form of a force that after the adjournment of Congress a sub-committee will be named to take testimony.

Capt. Claude Alexander and Mr. Talbot. despite illnem: and famine, made an excellent survey of the country, completing wa triangulation between Ibi on the Benue and Lake Chad. The high-, est mountains were found to be a little over 5.500 fect. A pagan tribe, the Kachai, was met, among whom the won- en adom themselves with aa oroament tled on behind to resemble a tail. With a couple of shallow draught stec! boata the Gongola River was explored, the boats being afterward taken to pieces and-carried across country to the River Komadagu, where they were once more utilized, Lieut. Alexander navigatin? them down that river to Lake Chad. On one occasion an attempt was made,to rid the boats, but in general the travellers met with no hostility from the inbabi- tanta. A picturesque incident was the relief of a caravan of 700 pilgrims on their way to Mecca—a nix years’ jour ney from Timbuctoo, the starting place— beniered in a walled town by semi-Ber ner Topber ftibes from the Sahara bor teriand. ‘These {reebooters were din- persed by Lirut, Alexander. beloed yy x force of archers. ‘The fist real lisanter. occurred in "November, 1904, chen Capt.

The people elected Republican officials from county commissioners on up to all the other officers. It is now proposed by the Alabama legislature to punish this county for being in the Republican column by abolishing this election system as applies to Winston county and have the board of county commissioners appointed by the Democratic Government.

If the Democratic legislature is going to do the contemptible, the "puppy act," in this one thing in the case of the county commissioners, surely it is hog enough to go the whole length. The cloven foot of the oligarchy is equal Race Insec in Indian Territory. Near The Police Guide Unprecedented in the history of the Southern states has such a doubt as to the advisability of the race separation been as great as it is in the new state. The separation will be over the oblique line; but on the racial question instead. Now comes the question as to who are the Negroes and who are whites. The Indians by a provision introduced into the convention, are to be claimed as white between them whatsoever. For the last forty years the scheming white men of the North and East has inmarried among the Negroes and been forced by their mercenary thirst for land; but nevertheless the cold facts remain and the offspring are here remind us of it. The Negro and Indian have fared better in the American frontier, especially so in the Greek nation. As a result we have a mixture of races in the new state unequalled in any part of the country. Many of the Negroes in the state have either a mixture of African or Indian blood in their veins. Revival Wave in Memphis. The Hope for Future Developments. This matter of industrial and technical education for the masses is of transcendent importance, and in these and in the columns of other publications we have emphasized it for years. But what of the people who are not interested in the masses who are not neglected? Preachers, teachers, physicians and leaders in the other walks of life are to be provided for the Negro masses from the races of the race and educated for the service they are to render, his life, to be done upon the best abandon all hope of high future development. Aditer Taylor's Widow Continues His Work After being imparted by so many friends and acquaintances to continue to publish the Plain Dealer, and after careful thought and consideration, I have decided to try, providing that I can secure the continued assistance of the general public in publishing the Plain Dealer. Of all things, it is generally known that it takes money to run any enterprise or business, and unless we can secure your support in a financial way, and not in sympathetic manner, our efforts will not be successful. We had described and did all in his power to keep the paper going that it could be a mouthpiece for his race, to speak out at all times in their behalf and all rallied to his assistance. I shall endeavor to be parental to your assistance. I try to assist you to help my fallen brother or sister and always be found coming to the rescue when needed. Kansas Wives Surprised. Glas, Tambleson had quite a surprise on his wife last Tuesday. She went to Pratt. When she came back home she found he had purchased a new fine range stove. Mrs. Marlon Fleming returned home last week and found relatives in Oklahoma. She also found a $700.00 new range stove in the kitchen waiting for the new cook. Dr. Kust and Mr. Rockefeller. Dr. J. S. Rust, the leading educator of Rust University has passed over the area into eternity. Such men as Dr. Rust cannot be found so soundly and so plaintful in the days of the sixties. We are reluctant to let such good men go. We give the American Baptist Home Mission Society money enough to put all its high grade schools for Negroes under endowment, his name would have forever among the million and a half Negro baptists, and the three million white Baptists of this coun A Solution of the Railroad Problem From the Chattahoochee Herald. The Chattahoochee herald faces a better solution for keeping order on trains than anything else and tails should be imposed and executed on all passengers. But there is no justice in making any well behaved intelligent person ride a train. Little is known about the kind of low vitamins that think no more of smoking, swearing, or taking out the whiskey bottle and treating to drinks in a reduced lady's face than they do in a bar. It is not hard to see why such a kind is required to have such coaches that will accommodate both classes. There are colored ladies just as refined and cultured as those of any other race and they should be treated with the same respect and consideration. Nothing has ever been required of the railroad companies by the states for the best class of colored travellers and hence they think that anything is good enough for a Negro woman or man, this country, and not enough in the decent treatment of its citizens who are deserving and worthy. Requirements of a Jockey. It is true that in this Western Outlook, he has produced great men as just signed a tation, but if you werright colors this leader of America N that there are to try to find the greatest to bow to the Manda or the Kroo, row to bow to are Negro, for he not only he to serve every minute of speed out of his house, but he has to steer clear of pedestrians and make that white boy not to step into the street. He must always days he has to be a superior heroesman brave, a fighter and ready to mix it with his rivals for pennant honors. Gov.-Governor Northam Spencer and Griflin. Opp. Gov.-Griflin, (Ga.) Negro Herald. On Monday night ex-Governor Burton speeds to the white and colored citizens of Griflin on Law and Order and the importance of every citizen's duty. "In the Indian entry" as a panacea for mob rule. He found in our large and broad-hearted white citizen the courage to cannot be in praise of his honor, the Mayor, Rea Jeankh, Ace and Murray for their active support of the principles advocated by Governor McKenna. He cannot be in praise of our cooperation and cooperation to its white friends and to the citations of this entire community in anything or any effort toward making our country and state the Garden Spot of the earth. We would urge our white friends to cease worrying about the social equality bugbear—it's all a myth. The Negro does not want it and has no applause and social equality in nothing less than a political race to make for selah ends. Our interests are common in all things commercial, industrial, moral and spiritual, and as such we are one as a land and your social we are as separate as the fingers. With the knowledge of these truths, why is it that the best men of both races cannot get in closer touch? There are hundreds of ex-patriates Spanish, French and Japanese and will respond to any call from their white friends for the best interest of our section. Terence Told Tragedy. From The Natches Weekly Herald. Lakewood, N.J. 1075. A juergo as usual was the victim charged with attempt to commit an assault on a grand lodge, and we witnessed the affair. A Protest from Louisiana. from The Times which report in Baton Rouge a few days ago, representing 50,000 colored people, did not represent colored people in Shreveport, nor north Louisiana. We are concerned, does not mean anything to us etc. But if it did, we wouldn't fuse and puff and doff our hats to any one. Mr. Baton Rouge is a law and punish innocent people. We know that: the guilty should and ought to be punished, but we do not say like Thraya machines, that justice is the interest of the weaker subjects, but to the reverse. A Stateman Without Party. Tom Watson is still without party and floundering around dipping into everybody's business. He was kicked out of the Democratic party, the Republicans refused to have him, he destroyed the third party, he destroyed the third party, poor farmers to take them into politics (of course for Tom Watson's sole benefit), to claw them to pieces. Important Meeting of North Carolina We know of no meeting of such vast importance as the one held in Raleigh last week between the representatives of the white and colored conventions of the Southern Baptist Convention that meeting Hon. N. B. Broughton, Mr. J. W. Bailley, editor of the Biblical Recorder; Rev. Lingston Johnson, Corresponding Secretary of North Carolina; Rev. H. C. Moore, Secretary of the Sunday School Work. Dr. Dunaway, Chairman of the Committee, Secretary of the Educational and Missionary Convention, Dr. C. S. Brown, Dr. A. Shepard, Dr. N. F. Holoper, Dr. A. W. Pegue, Col. N. F. Holoper, Rev. J. S. Bills and Rev. J. A. Whitted. The intention of this meeting is to hold and form such organizations and plans as to effect a better understanding and bring a better relation between the two GISTS. Nick Chiles on Sunday Shows From The Tonks Flap Dealer The passage of an act by the Legislature prohibiting shows on Sunday is indeed a great blessing. When the law goes into effect, the public will be encouraged that Jim Crow ideas in force will have to seek greener fields or grab a pick and shovel. The only thing that could have pleased us would be that the could have been for the earth to have opened up and swallowed the whole works, prophets and all. To Unite Texas Business Men. From The San Antonio Inquirer. For the first time, establishments owned by Negroes in San Antonio have taken on new life. Establishments of various kinds are springing up in the city, some among them are hardly able to exist, while others are flourishing with success. But a sad state of affairs is a lack of organization among our business men, in the city, in the country, and in themselves with any organization to propagate their business, but instead have held themselves apart and have attempted to their business independent of one another. The Citizen's League will endeavor to unite the business interests in every community, and that one will be dependent upon the other and the success of one will mean the success of the other. White merchants wholesale and retail are all thoroughly organized, and each of them, and each is co-operating one with the other for the common benefit and protection. Negro business men should follow the same rules and the results will be better than told. Justice the Only Solution. From The Suntter, (S. C.) Defender. The solution for the "Negro Problem" as it applies to the slave or freedom. The only solution of the present "Problem" is justice. And it does not lie in the months or the hands of the Negro to administer justice; it is justice held for the Negro to contribute in every way, to make any sacrifice if he can but attain to the full stature of a free man; he will never be content with loss, and there will be a permanent settlement, a lasting cure of the slaves' affliction, solved upon the basis of right and justice. Hospital Established at Knoxville. From The KinkaWille College Aurora. The KinkaWille College Aurora Hospital is now an established institution. One successful operation has been performed and it has been demonstrated that first class service will be given to all patients. Dr J. L. Johnson can now be found in the hospital's急诊 room at the Hospital every Tuesday afternoon. The high standard of admission for nurse students has prevented many from entering who otherwise would have done so, but it in the interests of thoroughness and ef gibility has been made. Always note that there is a general tendency to raise the standard of admission everywhere. It is expected that the formal opening of the Hospital will be on February 22, in the meantime patients are received and the teaching of the nurses goes steadily on. Separation in the Episcopal Church, From The Littleton (N. C.) Church Ro- man Archdeacon J. H. M. Pollard left last Saturday on a six month's tour to visit the University of Georgia in the interest of the Episcopal Church. His trip will extend through all of the Atlantic and Gulf States, from Virginia to Florida, and to the Carolinas at the request of the Episcopal Board of Missions. While there is much ostracism directed against colored members of the Episcopal Church, the efforts to separate the colored church from the white, it is gratifying to know that the white, and of this denomination and many of this denomination, wealthiest and most The Oklahoma Statehood Convention From The Oklahoma Safeguard.

Pence Reigns in Zion. From The Missionary Seer. We have given a curryy glance at our general official family and find them all hard at work for the promotion of African Zion Methodism, and we see no reason to doubt their efforts. We view of the present and future outlook. The old ship is equipped and manned with an strong and efficient a crew as our strength will permit, and there seems to be but little jangling or a regiment of peace. But it is not enough to know that our efficient family is at peace but God be praised for capable and loyal devotees to our Zion who are garrisoning the different factions of the church is to be congratulated upon having a strong man in nearly every important charge, especially at the strategic points.

With the Democratic majority, the most widely Republican in the last election, the pro- elected Republican officials from county commissioners on up to all the other officers. Now proposed by the Alabama legislature to punish this county for being in the Republican column by abolishing this election system as apples to the county commissioners appolated by the Democratic Governor of the State. Why not go the "whole hog" and have the entire county made a deputy? Why not have Governor Comer appolate all the rights and preogatives of the plain people of Winston and name the pro- judge, the sheriff, the clerk, the treasurer, the tax collector? If the Democratic legislature is going to do the contemptible, the "puppy act," in this one thing in the case of the county commissioner, it is hog enough to go the whole length. The cloven foot of the oligarchy is equal Race Issue in Indian Territory. Krom The Cuisse Guide. Unprecedented in the history of the Southern states has such a doubt as to the advisability of the race separation been as great as it is in the new circumstances be drawn on the color line; but on the racial question instead. Now comes the question as to who are the Negroes and who are whites. The Indians by a provision introduced into the convention, and the white race distinction to be held between them whatsoever. For the last forty years the scheming white men of the North and East has inscrambled among the Negroes in the South, influenced by their mercenary thirst for land; but nevertheless the cold facts remain and the offspring are here to remind us of it. The Negro and the white men of the South have formed their farmers' freedom; especially so in the Greek nation. As a result we have a mixture of races in the new state unequalled in any part of the country. Many of the Negroes have been the state have either a mixture of African or Indian blood in their veins. Revival Wave in Memphis. From The Bluff City News. In order to wage a relentless warfare against the crime and wickedness that overshadows the city, the Methodist, Hapag-Lambeth, and other followers, have combined themselves together in the conduct of a spiritual awakening at Avery Chapel, on Denbago street, where nightly services are held and as an activity being accomplished, the revival, which began two weeks ago under Prof. Neely, of Jackson, has grown in interest nightly, until it is in the midnight hours that G7B conversion were the record of work ending last Monday night. Out of that number 39 had united with Avery Chapel and the rest had joined the other churches for the purpose of providing for the manner in which he has conducted these spiritual works for the Master, and his record is an evidence of his great ability and strong Christian faith. In addition, their spiritual uplift, have a tendency to bring about clever solution between the members of the different denominations as well as to unite the pastors, irrespective of their denomination, will make for the moral stimulus and upbuilding of the race. The Hope for Future Developments. Higher Education. This matter of industrial and technical education for the masses is of transcendent importance, and in these and in the columns of other publications we have emphasised it for years, for the sake of saving the masses; shall they be neglected? Preachers, teachers, physicians and leaders in the other walks of life are to be provided for the Negro masses from the ranks of the race and education, therefore they must be included. If this is not, to be done at once we had best abandon all hope of high future development. Editor Taylor's Widow Continues His Work From The Utah Plan Dealer. After being imported by so many factual opportunities to publish the truth and after careful thought and consideration, I have decided to try, providing that I can secure the continued assistance of the general public and our old subscribers. Of course, we must be careful not to run any enterprise or business, and unless we can secure your support in a financial way, and not in sympathetic manner, our effort will be in vain. My late husband sacrificed and did all his power to mount a challenge for his race, to speak out at all times in their behalf and all rallied to his assistance. I shall endeavor to be partial to none, but to give justice to all and ever try to assist, help my fallen brother in the rescue when needed. Kansas Wives Surprised. Chas. Tumbleson had quite a surprise on his wife last Tuesday. She went to Pratt. When she came back home she found he had purchased a the new range store.

Dr. Rmat and Mr. Rockefeller. Dr. J. S. Rust, the leading educator of Rust University has passed over the sea into eternity. Such men as Dr. Rust cannot be found so easily and so plentiful as in the days of the sixties. We are reluctant to admit Mr. Rust, but if Mr. Rockefeller would give the American Baptist Home Mission Society money enough to put all its high grade Schools for Negroes under endowment, his name would live forever among the milieu and a half Negro Baptists, and the three million white Baptists of this country. A Solution of the Railroad Problem. From The Chaitinoga Berkay. The Chaitinoga Berkay faces a better solution for keeping order on trains than anything else and tabs should be imposed and executed on all passengers. But there is no justice in making any well behaved intelligent person raise in train, and it would just be kind of low yellows that think no more of smoking, swearing, or taking out the whisky bottle and treating to drinks in a refused lady's face than they do in a bar. It would be required to have such coaches that will accommodate both classes. There are colored ladies just as refined and cultured as those of any other race and they should be treated when travelling as all the others. Nothing has ever been required of the railroad companies, by the states for the best class of colored travellers and hence they think that anything is good enough for a Negro woman, and that a bottle is far behind others in the decent treatment of its citizens who are deserving and worthy. Requirements of a Jockey.

Sir-Governor Northern Spoken at Griflin. Fresh The Griflin, (Gn.) Negro Moral. The Griflin, (Gn.) Negro Moral. He then spoke to the white and broad citizens of Griflin on Law and Order and the importance of every citizen doing his "Christian duty" as a panacea for morbidity. He found in our large and broad-hearted white citizens a meet cordial welcome. Too much cannot be said in praise of his honesty, for he is a man of integrity for their civile support of the principles advocated by Governor Northern. The Journal extends its support and cooperation to its white friends and to the people of Griflin in everything or any effort toward making our community and state the Garden Spot of the South. We would urge our white friends to cover worrying about the social equality begins. It's all a myth. The Negro does not want it and no aspirations for such. All this talk of the Negro and social equality in nothing but a political race to the White House. Our interests are common in all things, commercial, industrial, moral and spiritual, and as such we are one as a land and yet we social we are as separate as the diarist. With the knowledge of those truths, why-is it that the best men of both races cannot get in closer touch? There are hundreds of them. Are they unwilling to wabbling and will respond to any call from their white friends for the best interest of our section. Teresley Told Tragedy. Lynchburg occurred at Greenwood, Miss., Jan. 23, 1807. A negro as usual was the victim charged with attempt to commit an assault on a grand lodge, and we witnessed the affair. That league which met in Baton Rouge a few days ago, representing 50,000 colored people, did not represent colored people in shreveport, not north Louisiana. The balloons he filled the colored are concerned, does not mean anything to us etc. But if it did, we wouldn't fuse and pug and doff our hats to any one, Mr. Thrayr, and punish the man who made the law and punish innocent men. We know that the guilty should and ought to be punished, but we do not say like Thrayr the stronger obeyed by the weaker subjects, but to the reverse. A Statesman Without Party. Tom Watson is still without a party and sounding around dipping into everybody's business. He was kicked out of the Democratic party, the Republicans retained to have him, he destroyed the third party, and now he has set his claws upon the party. He is now the president (of course for Tom Watson's sole benefit), to claw them to pieces. Important Meeting of North Carolina Bandits From The Baptist Standard We know no meeting that is most important in the Raleigh last week between the representatives of the white and colored conventions of North Carolina. There were present at that meeting Hon. B. Broughton, M. H. Editor of *Bulletin*; Recorder; Rev. Livingston Johnson; Corresponding Secretary of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina; Rev. H. C. Moore, Secretary of the Sunday School Work. Dr. of the University of North Carolina was detained in Oxford. On the part of the Educational and Missionary Convention, Dr. C. S. Brown, Dr. A. Shepard, Dr. N. F. Hobber, Dr. A. W. Hegues, Col. A. L. King, Rev. J. S. Bills and Rev. A. Whitted. The intention of this meeting is to hold general and local meetings over the State and form such organizations and plans an effect a better understanding and bring about a better relation between the two races. Nick Chiles on Sunday Shows. The passage of an act by the Legislature prohibiting shows on Sunday is indeed a great blessing. When the law goes into effect, the law goes into force. Joe Peele, Jim Crow Ideas in force will be to seek greener fields or grab a pick and shovel. The only thing that could have pleased us was to open up the earth for the earth to have opened up and awakened the whole works, proprietors and all. To Unite Texas Business Men. From the San Antonio Inquirer. For the first time, establishments, owned by Negro in San Antonio have taken on new life. Establishments of various kinds are springing up in the city, some among them are hardly able to exist, while others are flourishing with success. But a sad state of affairs is a lack of resources in business men. In shape our fortune have not opened themselves with any organization to propagate their business, but instead have held themselves apart and have attempted to make their business independent of one another. The Citizen's League will endeavor to unite the business interests in every community, and that one will be dependent upon the other, and the success of one will mean the success of the other. White merchants wholesale and retail are all thoroughly organized in their business in all regions of them, and each is cooperating one with the other for the common benefit and protection. Negro business men should follow the results and will be better felt than told. --- Justice the Only Solution. From The Sumter, S. C. (C.) Defender. "The solution for the "Negro Problem" as it existed forty years ago was justice to the Negro, and it was the present "Problem" is justice. And it does not lie in the mouths or the hands of the Negro to administer justice; it is justice he humbly, anxiously craves. It is justice in every way, to make any sacrifice if he can but attain to the full stature of a free man; he will never be content with loss, and there will be a permanent solution, a lasting order of law, and a justice so solved upon the basis of right and justice. Hospital Established at Knoxville. From The Knoxville College Aurora. The Alum B. Wattles Memorial Hospital is being operated on one successful operation has been performed and it has been demonstrated that first class service will be given to all patients. Dr. J. J. Johnson can now, be found in the patient and comfortable dentist room at the Hospital every Tuesday for admission. The high standard of admission for nurse students has prevented many from entering who otherwise would have done so, but it is in the interests of thoroughness and efficiency, and humanity. We are glad to that there is a general tendency to raise the standard of admission everywhere. It is expected that the formal opening of the Hospital will be made on February 22, but in the meantime patients are received and the teaching of the nurses goes steadily on. Separation in the Episcopal Church. From The Littleton (N. C.) Church Re- Archdeacon J. H. M. Pollard left Saturday on a six months' tour to visit several points and missions in the South, in the interest of the Episcopal Church. His trip will extend through all of the Atchison, Omaha, and Virginia to Texas. This extensive trip began and ended at the request of the Episcopal Board of Missions.

Abraham TAncoln = “There are eo few names‘in the history of mankind which are illustrious with- out the taint of corruption of one sort and another and of greed for power gained by rlolence and maintained at the point of the sword, in which countless peoples were made to mourn apd often the Mberty of states imperiled if ngt destroyed, that the few great men stand oat “like some tall cfiff that lifts its head above the storm.” to be observed by ali the wayfarers on the highway of time. Some such men are to be found in the history of every people—men who hare Mustrated in their living the highest thought and conduct fo their reletions with their fellows, and who made the world better by enlarging the ‘scope of uman liberty ayq happiness. , The people of the United States have ‘produced two men of the highest wisdom and patriotiam and given them an op- portunity in the highest office to use their gifts of head and heart for the best good of the State and the people. Such a man was George Washington, who led the armies of the colonics againat the tyranny of the Mother Country to vic- tory, and served the new Republic as its first. President with as much windom and patriotism in peace as he had in. war; aod much a man wax Abraham Lincoln, whose winlom saved the Manion of the States from disruption and made it porsible for the nation to “have a new birth of freedom.” Both Washington and Lincoln loom larger in the life of the Republic with the passing of the years, Their great wisdom and services atand out more conspicuously and ant appreciated more and more by ¢ach suc ceeding generation. George Washington wan born to the purple of aristocracy and was a slave holder. Abraham Lincoln was born to the lowly condition of the xreat mans of the people and saved the Unlon of the States and destroyed the system of alay- ery, which had given the lie to our Dec: laration of Independence and made our pretensions to democratic institutions a by-word and a hissing among mankind. It in not a question as to which of these two great men rendered the higher ser- vice to the Republic and humanity: each in his time and place, wisely and with the highegt patriotism, did the work his hands found to do, and they will always, we believe, remain pre-eminent among the great men of the great Republic, the greatness of which nnd the enlighten- ment of which command the sdmiration of mankind everywhere. | But there are reawsns why we attach greater importance to the ‘work of Lincoln than to that of Washington. Lin- coln wax the prophet of freedom.

By Oréer tor, SOUTHERN LABOR. A NEW CHRISTIANITY THE NEED OF AFRICA A Native African's Views on the Re- quests of the Bank Continent— Council Criticism of Curtain Tund- denes Attributed to the Race in America—The Solution to Come From Whalia To the Editor of the New York Age:—Referring to your article entitled, "The Redemption of Africa," published in last week's Aur. I fully agree with you that the "redemption of Africa will not come through the white man." In its original sense, to redeem a man means to remove him from whatever obstacles in which he may have been entangled; to develop his mind and body to a state of vigorous manhood, to think and to act for himself, in other words, to make him a free man. Thus Christ speaks of the redemption of the world, that is, the emancipation of mankind from the destructive influences of evil. It is evidently clear, therefore, that a race so heartless, so unsympathetic, and so imperious as the white race can never in the true sense of the word, elevate the backward race to the stage of independent manhood. It is not the practice of imperialism to free men, but to keep them in subjection; not to raise independent thinkers, but to crush genius whenever it attempts to rise among the ruled. In its dealing with a backward race, the most "creditable work" of an imperial race is always on the material side, and never on the spiritual. Great Britain went to South Africa to preach Christianity, but as soon as the diamond mines were discovered the converted the population of that territory into virtual servitude; King Leopold was sent to Congo to start a work for the "moral and material regeneration of the natives, and to eradicate slavery," but he has labelled all the forests of that region and placed the natives under inexplicable lepis-faction. Germany, too, has a hand in this game of discreditable despilation; the deplorable condition of affairs in her African colonies is the inevitable result of commercialistic imperialism. I must admit, however, that there are persons among the white race whose hearts are so large, views so catholic, sympathy so delicate, insight so comprehensive, that above the freaky of Aryan individualism, above noble temperamental perversities, above the passionate cults of "racial prepotency," their attitude towards the less favored races is always praiseworthy and commendable. Nevertheless the fact that impassioned in more material than spiritual still remains. In your article, I noticed that in outlining the work to be done in Africa, you spoke of "Afro-American missionaries specially prepared for the work," and the glorious duty that the Afro-American churches have to perform." I am not surprised that you should come to this conclusion, for, at first glance, the thought you have expressed seems so reasonable and so transparent that those who are not well familiar with African often use the same language. But if you imply the competency of the American Negro to diffuse Western civilization in Africa or to lead the indigenous African, then permit me to take the negative side of the question. Americans Africans it takes a man of profound self-respect. Facial originality and separate personality, to become a leader. If the American Negro has these qualities, he will be able to help us in working out the destiny of Africa; if he has not, he will remain what he has been in the past. During the American slave traffic, the master devised all sorts of schemes to keep his slaves in a state of moral weakness, by teaching them to hate an another, by putting various incompatible elements together, and by separating children from their parents in their infancy, a practice which made it impossible for the mother to impart her knowledge of African traditions to the child. Because of this practice, in course of a few generations, the African lost not only all traces of the lofty traditions and sweet legends of his native land, but even his mother tongue. Anything that his master thought would remove him far and farther was a fitting subject. The Negro was taught that Africa was covered with lions, elephants, tigers, crocodiles, and all sorts of destructive reptiles; that the people of Africa were all naked savages and cannibals. He was tabbed that white was the chosen color and that his skin color and features were varied in color and features of misrepresentations and the use of unkind terms, the white man painted his race before him in the darkest colors possible. As result of this, the Negro in exile gradually lost self-respect and finally became ashamed, not only of his racial identity, but even of his own personality. Thus in America, the Negro has tabooed and is ashamed of anything that is African; indeed, he employs all the vague terms that he thinks will remove him from the "Anthropharpii, and the cannibals that each other eat." But the counter reaction of this said spectacle more implorable. I said that the Negro in Boston feels far removed from the Negro in Alabama; the Negro in Washington feels removed from the Negro in Georgia; the Negro in New York feels removed from the Negro in Virginia; the Negro in Virginia feels removed from the Negro in Tennessee, and so forth. Pirlona the "Afro-American" is not responsible for the inevitable result of his former training but the fact that he has learned a hard confession, he has never been able to lead himself; he is therefore incompetent to lead others. The American Negro has no racial originality. Derricativen from his natural source of life and vitality, he is in a state of moral confusion and physical deceptive. It is easy to make him believe that he is this or that person when in reality he is not; but in letting the indigenous and groping him he adds to the canal for the requisite, the adventitious for the essential. He has not separate personality. After the importation of the African to this country, the American Christians thought that they could up-root the sturdy indigenous palm of tropical, Africa and transplant it to the ivy soil of Lapland, and that they could obtain from it, apples, peaches, and horse chestnut for the fruit market. Imbued with this idea, they tore the African from his natural source of life and sustenance and grafted him to the Anglo-Saxon tree. As a result of this debased artificiality, this disregreatable hardy; this diabolical unnormation of the natural; the life of the American Negro becomes a suspended animation. He is not wholly African, he is not wholly Anglo-Saxon, he is not wholly French, he is not wholly Spanish. What is he? "A colored man." However desirous he may be, this state of affairsta in a hindrance to his usefulness in the future development of Africa. It is true that in this country the race has produced great men of national reputation, but if you were to place the leader of American Negro in Africa to try to d the Fantee or the Zulu, the Mandi or the Kroo, he will be at a loo are Negro bishops and ministers from this country in Africa trying to lead the native, but M you the North-American robin to the powerful winns of the African eagle and let it lead him through the intricacies of the dome former, you will have a picture of how the American Negro appears when he tried to lead the indigenous African. In other words, when the hybridized suspended animation comes in contact with the deeply rooted life of the native born African, we have the inertile degravitation of the former to the latter. Again, the "Afro-American" church is not in condition to take Christianity to Africa. The reasons for this deficiency are man-made, irrevertable as we shall not notice immediately. In the first place, the neurotic religion of the American Negro is but a recrudescence of the paganism of Central Africa in different form. His worship is characterised by great eloquence and little logic, excessive emotionality, physical contortion, and uncles' screams. In these days of alteration and augmentation, social upheaval and intellectual unrest, his theology is like the law of the Medea. His idea of Heaven and hell is sadly fixed in the wrong place. Indeed, his paganised Christianity has been more harmful to him than beneficial. In the second place, the "Afro-American" ministry is in a deplorable state of intellectual poverty. This may sound like a firecracker, nevertheless it is a fact—the nucleus of many a discreditable episode. In America the minister is really the leader of the masses of the people. Such great thinkers as Miller, DuBois, and others do not reach the people so closely as does the preacher. This is particularly true of their influences. Dr. DuBois's passionate pleas for the training of "the talented tenth" may be looked upon by the masses as theoretical and unelement, but they will accept the same suggestion without any criticism if made by the man behind the Bible. In fact, with the exception of Dr. Washington, perhaps there is no other member of the race who influences the masses more than minister who conducts the mini-meetings of the religious conferences. The preacher is considered a chosen being and his view is looked upon as a quasi infallibility. I know of cases in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, and Philadelphia where the home life of many a family is shaped according to the theology of their pastors. For this reason the minister should be of the best type, both morally and intellectually, but with few exceptions the very opposite has been the case. The pulpit is crowded with men who are inexcumely ignorant, not only of the Bible, but of the tremendous world in which they live. While in this condition if the "Afro-American church should to Africa to Christianize the nation, I am afraid the church and the native will sink deeper in paganism. Again, let us turn to the vital condition you have raised. You may you believe that "the African people are capable of developing a Christian religion adapted to their genius, and evolving systems of government out of the present tribal governments." But you ask, "Can it come from within?" For an apparent reason, I cannot express myself freely or so deeper into this important question as I should like to do, but I must say that you have touched a fact too frequently overlooked by outsiders who attempt to write about Africa. It is very true that the development of Africa will be done through Christianity, but Anglo-Saxon Christianity, with its evils of vampire individualism, race prejudice, destructive imperialism, liquor traffic, and ethical intolerance, is certainly deficient. As contemporary Christianity developed from the silly and dogmatic prescriptions of Judaism, as Protestantism developed from Papal imperialism of Rome, as Puritanism developed from the creedal aristocracy of England, so will a new form of Christianity for the African race develop from the present commercialism. The initiative of this great change will come from men of pure African blood—Africans in appearance, Africans in body, Africans in spirit, Africans in pride, Africans in thought. Grave Complications Feared — Haiti Has Friction With Us, Too. From The New York Times. Port Au Prince, Feb. 10.—The relations between the Governments of Haiti and Germany are strained owing to the refusal of the German bankers, Hermann & Co., to obey the order of the court at Port au Prince and return to the Haitian Government large sums of money from the United States, fraudulently. Among the alleged transactions of Hermann & Co. with the Haitian Government was one which is said to have proved favorable to the Government. This was concluded by the Haitian Minister of Finance, the German Legation and Hermann & Co. The German Minister demanded that this transaction, as well as others, be annulled, but the German Minister denied offensive russified to acquiesce. The German Minister at the same time demanded the withdrawal of the phrase objected to. This also was refused. Fears are entertained here of grave complications. The official Monitor recently published notice of the expulsion of Mr. Mansoura, an American citizen, but Mr. Furniss, the American Minister, believing the call for the man's expulsion unjustified, asked for the withdrawal o the order. This, however, was refused, and Mansoura has left here for New York. The seal of the American Legation has been placed on his shop. TURN TABLES ON BROWNSVILLE. Major Penrose's Defense Alma to Show That the Northwest Hectares That Police Shot Up the Twenty-Fifth, Dallas, Ft. F.

Glenn and Police Lieutenant Domingues of Brownsville on the witness stand under cross-examination nearly all day. Col. Glenn developed that it is Summer in Brownsville police wear khaki uniforms and felt hats similar to those worn in the army. The defence sought to prove that it was policemen thus uniformed who created the reign of terror on the night of August 13, and that they resembled United States men. It was also asserted that there were seven policemen thus uniformed on duty that night, that all of them are Mexicans, and all dark enough to be easily mistaken for Negroes.

Macklin, was committed to jail by Judge Lewis of the Federal Court yesterday, to await the outcome of the trial of Corporal Edwin Knowles, charged with ab oting Capt. Macklin.

ELEGANT FLATS To Let. Handname Apartments with all improvements at Moderate Rentals, in THE DULLY-MOUNT, 811 W. 60th N. From The New York Evening Post. WASHINGTON, February 10—The continued adherence of the voting negroes in the United States to the Republican party is one of the strongest indictments that can be brought against them to support the charge that as a race they do not think for themselves, but are moved about like pawns on a chessboard by statute politicians. The pretences of affection and regard for the negroes which Republicans, leaders voice from time to time try one a patience when the motives that control them are known. The present investigation by the Senate committee of the Brownsville affray offers fresh proof of the lack of sincerity of leading men of the party that freed the slaves. Mr. Roosevelt has not given up his purpose of appointing a Nerro to some well-paid office in Ohio. Why? To put Foraker in a bole. When the first intimation was given that Mr. Roosevelt would appoint a Federal plum for an Ohio Nerro a storm test depended upon him from all quarters of the State. The people and all politicians were a unit in expressing their disapproval. It was not the character of the man to be appointed that dismayed them. No man had been selected. It was the color of the man that gave him the more than the people of Indiana. Min. Charleston, S. C., did they want a black man in office. It was at first proposed, it will be remembered, to fill one of the Cincinnati Federal offices by the appointment of a black man. It is credibly reported, and commonly believed in Washington, that the President gave up this idea at the earnest and affirmed solicitation of his non-in-law. Representative Longworth. If the current and undenied stories are true, Longworth represented to the President a good job in Cincinnati would mean his (Longworth's) political rule. In deference to his appeal and with natural hesitation at being the cause of a calamity that might appeal to Mr. Roosevelt as both national and domestic, the plan was changed. The vaults of the fair city who call the notorious Cox their liege and master caused their shudderings and outcries when the spectacle of black dominion in the person of a Negro surveyor of customs was removed from their homeland. President Roosevelt, it is believed, has now under consideration the appointment of a Negro to a Federal job in Columbus. The wily Senator Dick, from those regions, is reported much disturbed by the apposition of the treated appointment. When President Roosevelt's intention of appointing a Negro to an Ohio job was made known, everyone said, "What a shrewd political trick! What a keen politician the President is!" It was not viewed in any other light than an attempt to embarrass Foraker. Apparently it succeeded admirably in its purpose. Mr. Foraker has not been in the best of humor since the proposal came to his knowledge, and his fling at Booker Washington in the Senate committee yesterday showed how keenly he will resent such an appointment. Washington views these things nakedly. Nobody has been innocent enough to believe that the President had any desire to give recognition to a worthy Negro by an appointment in Ohio at this juncture. If Senator Foraker's feelings of right and justice have been lacerated by the President's action in discharging the two companies of Negro troops, and if he is inspired wholly by an eager desire to right a wrong, then he is being wofully minjudged. All of political Washington believes that the Ohio Senator has hit an apologetic and an apologetic ploited and so as to convict the President of an act of gross injustice, will aid Mr. Foraker's political ambitions. Until the Brownville affray and the discharge of the troops, President Roosevelt was commonly held to be the first among the chancellors of the Negro in political life. He was their great and good friend. His action in inviting Booker Washington to the White House, in insisting on the Crum appointment at Garrette in taking the Indian in a post office had made the question of the country a political unit given wholly into his keeping. When the soldiers were dismissed without honor the Negroes turned on their one time chancellor. Mr. Roosevelt was denounced bitterly by ministers in their churches and at public meetings. Senator Foraker saw his chance and seized it. Now the black people have turned to him as their shepherd. When they have served his purpose will they have feasted friends of the race in politics have done is a question that leading Negroes might do well to ask themselves. The docile delegates from the South to Republican National conventions are always factors when there is an evenly fought contest between the candidates. Senator Foraker may think that he will have some use for them in 1908. Vice President Fairbanks has not neglected to take steps to have them rally around his standard. If Senator Foraker finds that he is not strong enough elsewhere to use the black men in furthering his personal ambitions, his defence of the discharged soldiers may give him a hold upon their brothers in the South that will enable him to "deliver" their votes to some other candidate. The control of the Southern delegates to the 1908 Republican convention, it is expected, will be a factor in determining the result. The angle that very solidarity of the Negro in politics is a source of weakness instead of strength. His plight in this respect is analogous to that of the eleven Southern States which have lost much of their political prestige because of the forkknowledge that they will always go Democratic whoever the candidate or whatever his qualifications. So long as the Negro remains a docile unit in the Republican party he will be at the mercy of assuring and ambitious politicians, who will use him as a stepping stone to higher things, and having used him, will pass on without turning, leaving it to his successors to do the same thing. When exigency of occasion demands, the Republicans distribute political crumbs to the Negro. They have to be careful not to render aid for the services he has rendered either as a voter or as an issue. It has come to be that the Republican party is under deeper obligations to the Negroes in its ranks than the Negroes as a class are to the Republican party. What happened in the war time when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, the Republican party of to-day is not held together by a common love of great moral principles. The present Republican party is a business machine and worrbing success as its god. It is organized and conducted to win elections. Its sense of discipline is strong: the individual must give way to the organization. To bring about a split in the party is counted the gravest form of treason. President Hooverself with all his striking but insulted attitude, control, has almost a morbid fear on this score. The Negro is used like any other cow in the machine, but the point is that he has not been "grown" so often and so lavishly as some of the other coats. If the so-called Negro vote was an independent factor, its constituent individuals voting according to their principles and beliefs, and as each one of them saw the AFRO-AMERICAN REALTY COMPANY Real Estate—For Sale and To Let.

Miss Constantia Brown's best songs were from the Italian and German schools. In her book *The Voice of the World* she is remarkably flexible and well placed. Her runs possess a flat-like clarity and sweetness. She sang *Brahms* song in German in 1925 and *Brahms* song in 1930, and suggested a beautiful, quiet-sounding stream of rich velvety tones. Mrs. Bertie Tueyong Gunn enunciates so directly and so free from the clichés of her music that hermatic readers that her work deserves to be called "nalve" or grandly.

From The New York Sun, Columbus must be a wicked town, if it doesn't have a gambling game. President to the fair of the Ohio Unified Educational and Agricultural Association must Jane, which is notorious for craps, be a judge in the forms of gambling. Mr. Reccovelt has been solemnly warned to avoid the show active in the role of moralist than the Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks, who was the guest of honor last year. Mr. Fairbanks was a man of fortune, but our life upon it he is a stranger to crape and check-a-luck. There is a stipulation to games of chance in the warnings to the President, something political, presence, perhaps, a rival negro of the educated and agricultural negro of Ohio. Topics That Engage Attention Kids. The Vocabulary Chains. carbon. The buying of valuable mana, the education of their children and the building of strong character are the topics that urgently require thoughtful negotiation. The white editors insist that Negroes have a social mania; and are, therefore, diligently in search of what the Negro community wants of equality. Not so! Such a topic is never discussed in the private or public assemblage. The Negro wants equality before the law, and due regard for his rights as a citizen. Death's Harvest Time in Wisconsin.

It is generally believed Negroes are looking for special privileges and immunities on account of their color.

Defendern of the Race. A World Conflict Pending. We are of that opinion, the time has come in the life of colored peoples of the earth when they are not going to submit to the oppression of the white man, to pose the arrogance of the whites. There was a time when this sort of thing might have been done, but that day is long since it has been done. Every man will give to his brother his due. Until that time comes, there is going to be a war, which may involve the world. Let us hope for the best, as we make the journey. Wants to Be Separated. From The Montgomery Messenger. Well, the controversy between the city police and the race segregation of the races seems to have been settled, for we do not hear any more of the matter. We fall to see why they want to be separated, and we want to be separated, and would like to see it done at the earliest season possible for we know if we are separated. We have had some bad characters in our ranks, and there are some on the other side; and when two bad elements meet there is always conflict, should it happen, who would have to suffer? Some innocent man or woman might have to suffer for that which some people think will bring about a permanent peace and prosperity, and not race troubles. A Grave Question.

Farmers Treatment of Soil in Pestitization Made Biochemical and Practical — Strengthen the Farm Bank. In his last article the writer tried to explain the use of certain checks (farm bank) and their relation to the farmer's bank (land). In this article he approaches the subject in hand. How to Keep Funds in the Farmers' Bank, with fear and trembling because he realizes that it is one of the most pervasive questions confronting the practical farmer today. The president man places a part of his earnings in bank against that time when he may need them most. On the other hand, if he puts nothing in he can't have to draw anything out in the time when he needs it. If he does not put something into his bank (and it will only be a question of time when his funds are exhausted). The principal elements entering into all growing crops are known to the chemist as nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. Now it is the bonuses of the farmer to supply those in case of fire, if he gets to get the best results from his land. The country is flooded with many different brands of fertilisers which come highly, recommended, but the writer fears that too much dependence is being placed in purely commercial manure, for while crops are good, the majority are insufficient, and the yield is low. Another reason: Land must be supplied with humus (vegetable matter); as soon as the soil becomes deficient in this very necessary substance it becomes sandy and porous and its productiveness is cut short, notwithstanding the vigorous application of commercial fertilisers, where it is least, once a year the river overflows its banks, leaving a rich deposit of humus when the water recedes. Now then, the great problem is how to supply these funds at the least expense so the farmer. The farm is very expensive, for insurance, one farmer applied 400 bushels of time to six acres at a cost of $0. He needed to rye which may average 15 bushels per acre and bring $70 per bushel. The straw be sold averaged over 10 bushels per acre and cost $15 per ten. Now then, let us see what his earnings are going to be next harvest. Six acres of rye, 15 bushels per acre, 90 bushels at 70 cents per bushel, 100 bushels at 60 cents per bushel, 90 and 100, 115 minus $0, cost of time, leaves $73. Now, when the cost of growing, feeding harvesting and threshing are deducted this sum of $73 is nearly cut half. In the case any weeder then, that number of farmers in the country must make a living? Another farmer buys his manure and hauls it 12 miles. This takes a whole day and is even more expensive than the manure it takes to store. It does, report to more sensible methods. Before the writer goes further he wishes to impregnate this one fact, that manure is anything that will decompose when applied to the soil, grass, weeds, straw, cornstalks, grasses, or weeds. He suspects in them that we will humus and when used in conjunction with stable manure or small quantities of good commercial fertilizer produce the required result. The writer has not always been exempt from these evils about which he had been accustomed to deal with the out of the "wounds of despair," with the rest of his more progressive neighbors. Let us see. For years he felt that stable manure was of no use unless it had been previously decomposed in the barnyard. This was a most "irritious fault." This was a manure that threw thirds of the value and one-half the bulk were lost to him. The barnyard is therefore not used for a manure yard any longer. The following in the writer's "new" method for supplying funds to the soil. The manure is then stored in a continental farmer. All the stock, both horses and cows are thoroughly bedded with straw every Saturday, or as soon after an weather permits. Every day during the following week, morning and evening the dropping, with the straw that is knitted behind are thrown forward and fresh straw thrown on for a clean bed. Mules and horses like to stand lower in front than behind (the rest better than way), hence they are constantly digging for this position at the same time chopping the straw fine. By the time Saturday comes again all the drippings and straw have been chopped fine and are in a splendid condition to be spread. Care is also taken very important, by using large quantities of straw which absorb it. Instead of dumping the manure in the barnyard to burn, bleach and wash away, it is loaded directly on the wagon, carried to the farm and mowed. By the old method it took all winter to manure, about two and a half acres, whereas by the new nearly all the land plowed for corn is manured. With a judicious use of commercial fertilizer fair prices, the new crop is manured. Certain plants like cow peas, buckwheat, rye and clover are used to supply vegetable matter to wormout soils, care being taken that they are not too green when plowed under as they tend to your soil. In summing up the writer would say buy less fertilizer and try to produce more stable manure at home, for it contains every essential that is needed to feed your growing crops and to increase your "A FARMER" Hegison, Pa., February 11, 1907.

THE NEW YORK AGE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1907. NEW HAVEN, February 11.—The talking of evidence in the trial of Samuel H. Knox, who is charged with killing Frederick M. Kelley, came to a closs last Friday afternoon, when Knox took the stand and told the court and jury his the trouble that led to the choking itself. The Brewing Register of the 8th had the following to say: "Knox was by far the most valuable witness the defense put on the stand, and his story, told in his own words, impressed everyone who heard it. Knox on the stand preserved the same cool demeanor that has been with him during a trial, all the wiles of State's attorney William Willett, who contradicted Minus in his statements of facts were futtle, and in many cases the colored man thinking the question might have double meaning, in repeat and explain before answering him. "Another thing that impressed the court was Knox's politeness and evident good education. To every answer that he gave, Knox used correct language in all his statements." "Despite all efforts to shake him, Knox stuck to his story, and the readiness all questions of the trouble and of his previous life made a good effect. "The arguments in the case will be made Tuesday of this week." Cole and Johnson, comedians, with their company, in the "Sboo-Fly Regiment," played three nights at the New Haven Opera House last week, beginning Monday night. It is a musical comedy which exposes the ridiculous side of the aristocratic element of the Afro-American. The cast is good, and the work of Cole and Johnson is extremely clever. Mr. Johnson is one of the best comedians on the stage, and the two artists kept the house in a roar from beginning to end. The act was Mr. Cole's song, "Lemon's" with variations by Mr. Johnson, who is an accomplished pianist. The "Ghost of Dacon Brown" song, by Mr. Cole, accompanied by the Sboo-Fly Regiment, was another great feature. Despite the raging tone, the audience was greeted with a big house and had the same success the other two nights. Mr. Edward A.

GEORGIA AFTER IMMIGRANTS. Party Here to Make Offers for Desirable Incentives. Half a dozen Georgia Colonels were in the city yesterday in charge of David Robinson, editor of the Southern Immigrant. They saw how immigrants are handled at Ellis Island. The members of the delegation said that they wanted good men for Georgia and that every inducement would be offered to immigrants to go there. The biggest offer was that of James L. Sibley of Millieckville, that he would be free for the term of two years, twelve acres of land and a house to any deserving family. The party said that they would go to the offices of the various steamship companies and see if they could get them good settlers. They want a share of the obligation so of immigrants landing here each year. 1. Franklin Kulton Dead Kingston, February 22.—The funeral of Miss Fulton, Sr., the veteran barber, of Kingston, Rev.

Media Association for the Study and Powered by Aboveground Incurses Useful Pamphlet The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has issued a useful little pamphlet entitled "Information for persons having disease of the lungs, and for others living in the same house." The following information is given in regard to the first steps in the prevention of the spread of consumption. The spread of consumption is to be prevented by discovering as early as possible, and the patient should be told that he has the disease. He should at the same time be told that the disease is curable and that, in order to be cured, and in order not to give it away, he should be treated. If the disease were discovered early and the patients thoroughly instructed and trained in being careful, there would be little danger of scattering infection. If you have a cough, don't say "It's noon." If you have a cold, don't say "It's during yourself and others. Go to a doctor, who knows, and learn the truth. Persons suffering from tuberculosis should earnestly desire to know that they have tuberculosis, that they may be infected with tuberculosis, that treating the disease and be restored to health. They should know that "bronchial trouble," "throat trouble," "stomach ach cough," and such terms, are only deceptive and mean, in many cases confluent with other symptoms. The spitting of blood, unless positively from the gums, nose or throat, is in all probability from tuberculosis in the lung. Repeated protected colds are often signs of tuberculosis. A cough that hangs on the throat, of time should always excite musculism. Among the special directions for members of the bounchhold of consumptives are: these young children, should not be weighed on a bed-room chair, any one who has any disease, should play on the floor of the sick room especially should be absolutely forbidden. The germs of consumption are more dangerous than adults, but tuberculosis in tuberculosis nurses their infants, as nursing involves a considerable danger to the child and a heavy drain upon the mother's vitality. Mothers should thoroughly wash their hands before the bottles or handling the infants' food. Patients with 'pulmonary disease should not kiss anyone on the mouth. If the mouth and line have been cared for, handling is perhaps but slightly dangerous. Towels, clothing, handkerchiefs, and other personal articles used by a tuberculosis person should not be used. The consumptives are bedridden their clothing and bedding ought not to be thrown into the common receptacle for soiled clothes. Such things as can be boiled should be as soon as possible, or soaked for several hours in a disinfection solution. TO SAVE WOMEN. Mrs. Brown, the Evangelist, Will Stiny Here to Work for Them.

In the Lincoln High school in this city Afro-American girls are hearing to cook, to "wilk" upon table, to scrub, to be good housekeepers and domestics. These girls are being taught that labor is ever honorable, and that the skilled housekeeper has open to her portions of which the bookworm may only dream. The principal of the school and the teachers say that the girls have taken enthusiastically to this work. The domestic science department is presided over by Miss Frederick Douglas Sprague, a granddaughter of Frederick Douglass, and a woman skilled in the arts, a woman sewing, etc., and eager to impart her knowledge to children of her race. Miss Sprague is a comparative stranger in Kansas City, having been born in Rochester, N. I., removing with her parents to Washington; D. C., where she received her education in the public schools. From that time on, she attended the birth, and was graduated from the Mechanic's institute, fitting herself for the work in which she has since achieved a pronounced success. For three years Miss Sprague has been teaching domestic science at the Lincoln Institute, at Jefferson City, coming here but a few years later, completing a capstone training of the pupils of the Lincoln High school. Miss Sprague said last week: "When I started out to fit myself for a teacher I had in mind all that could be learned and housed, keeping, and decided that faction could be accomplished in the field of domestic science than could be hoped for, strictly speaking, in the world of arts and letters. The knowledge will hurt no one, the knowledge will be applied to with clerical workers and the like, while a competent seamstress, cook or maid is beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. Why the career of the thoroughly com-posed slip-shod clerk or office helper is understanding, but perhaps, when all the schools begin to teach domestic science, all this will be changed; at least we will have the little teacher's eyes fairly blazed with her work which could not be concealed. The cooking, school completely equipped provides 0,200 twenty-four pupils at each session. Each pupil is provided with a kitchen, a clean and well-ventilated and all the paranormalia of as well resilient kitchen. Hot and cold water is at hand, and the class is taught not only how to cook and prepare a complete meal, but also to use the dining table, how to plan the food as no cooking qualities, show to serve the meal properly, and all the "ins and outs" of dining service. The lessons are not all theory, either. The written portion is in the form of an activity, the cooking utensils and each pupil is expected to be as proficient in the setting of the table and in the serving of a meal as in any of the other studies of cooking. The students mean not only proficient cooks, but girls well trained waitresses, maids and housekeepers, instilled with the necessity of doing all things well and in a clean, manageable detail of the work even even the dishwashing is part of the training. LYNCHERS AND SUPREME COURT. Latter Selects Communicator to Take Broadcasts to Contestant. WASHINGTON, January 28—In the Supreme Court of the United States to-day Solicitor-General Hoyt stated that James D. Mather, assistant clerk of that court, and James A. McCormick, assistant parties as commissioner to take the testimony for the court in the contempt proceedings against Sheriff Shipp and others charged with complicity in the lynching Chinookaogo, last May, on the court had assumed jurisdiction in his case. Mr. Hoyt also presented for the opposing counsel a brief in opposition to the Government's motion to change the place of taking the testimony in the Shipp cane from Chattanooga to Washington. The Court held that the intention at the intimation that witnesses for the defendant would refrain from giving all the facts for fear of the consequences to themselves if examined at Chattanooga. It is asserted that there would be no more restraint upon them in Chattanooga than in Washington. The case is signed by George W. Chandler and Lewis Shepard, of Chattanooga, attorneys, and in part reads: "We say that there is no reason in the world why the witnesses for the Government should not tell the facts about this case at Chattanooga just as they are as at any other time if the offending is commenced at Chattanooga, any witness is intimidated, the court has power to change the place of the hearing and also to punish the offending party if such a case were possible. Public witnesses are not frankly, and unreservedly all the facts of this case at Chattanooga without intimidation towards anybody. To take those witnesses away from Chattanooga and deprive these defendants of the right to them face to face and treat them fairly from them face to face and hardship upon them and particularly so if they are innocent, as they claim to be, and especially on account of their poverty. In view of these and other circumstances, which they address, the attorney-general would answer to the attorney-general would amount to a denial of justice to their clients. Grimes Departing. Middleton Natron WARINGTON, Feb. 11. — Perry Sermant Mingo Sermant was the principal witness this morning before the Senate investigating the Brownwater shooting. He impressed the members of the committee with his circumstances and apparent velocity, as he told his story in detail and with elaborate use of military troops. He was a member of Company B and at the time of his discharge without honor, had been nearly twenty-six years in the service and would soon have been eligible to retirement on a pension. During all that time, he might have had never been in the army. Sanders said he was married and lived outside the barracks. He was arrested by the firing, and on going to quarters several ballots which were fired from the town whisked past his head. The firing was to be seen at 10 a.m. by Wichita, airborne, and some Mansur. He did not disguish the shots of any Springfield rifle, which were used by the garrison, at Fort Brown. When the call to name was granted Sanders and the team opened in opening the gun rack of his company, and the order to break them open was given by one of the lieutenants of the company. When the company landed up and the roll was called and a private attempted to crush down so as to be buried by the wall surrounding the barracks. "The firing was still going on," tortified Saunard, "and I told him to stand up, and if he was killed to die like another." Like Saunard, the company commander, he mild, cautioned the witness to keep the men in restraint, just to defend the fort in case an assault was made upon it. Saunard mid that at inspection the morning after the shooting all the guards of the fort were accounted for, conditioned. He also accounted for the ammunition. When the Twenty-fifth came to Fort Brown, he mild, they brought along a box of loose cartridge shells, which was used to kill the Mexicans were accounted to going into the barracks and carrying off anything they could pick up. They took away caps, clothing and even arctic overcoats which the men had brought from/the North. They also picked up the partridge shells. In answer to questions by Saunard Foraker, Saunard he was not implicated in the raid himself and knew of no one who was. He had restrained to one ruse after another to get information from the men of his company rewriting the affair, but had always failed. Senator Foraker read from the report of Gen. Garlington, wherein he stated that subsequently Saunders had come to him and asked to be exempted from the dismissal threatened by the President. "Did you go to Gen. Garlington and make any such request?" asked Senator Foraker. "Yes, sir, I did," replied the witness.

TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN TIFL What the Pullman Company Saves in the Porters' Wagons. From The New York Sun. The manner in which the people of the United States are borrowing the time to travel is a grave concern. Take the case of your smiling friend the Pullman porter. Do you know that the dimes and quarters and half dollars given him by our traveling companions every year amount to more than $2,000 a day, and with $1,000 every morning before breakfast? Let's figure it out. There are about $8,000 porters in the employ of the Pullman Company. If the total amount of money that would be $8,000. But in order to make allowance for time off and for stings or fragrant travellers who give little or nothing, suppose we knock off a couple of thousand dollars every morning. That would make $6,000 a day, or $2,150,000 This generosity on the part of the travelling public would be all right if the porters got the benefit of the conditions the tips are merely another source of profit for the Pullman Company. One would suppose that all the time of a grown up in the city would be spent on support, would at least be worth $10 a week, or $4 a month, to a concern earning millions of dividends. But the porters left to let the remainder from the public. Therefore the Pullman Company, on account of tips given to its emplty-maker, makes a saving of $15 per month on each tip, according to $120,000, or $1,440,000. MT.
