2,100 Cases in One Year—Sentence in Adult Case Severe and Effective—Majority of Cases Involve Afro-Americans. WARNINOTOR. August 26 — "Don't worry, on kids will stand by you, judge," was the cheery attorney given Judge Lindeny of the Denver Juvenile Court by the defendant at the close of a court, during the trial of which the judge simulated concern for himself by trying to furnish in the mind of the youthful or fonder the belief that if defendant failed to lift up to his promise. It is a typical illustration of the spirit of success of the new form of dispensing justice in dealing with youthful law breakers and other offenders. If defendant failed to maintain justice and inflict punishment, the juvenile court idea is assuredly novel while it is also indicative of the new banks of modern civilization. It is to modern criminal justice that the formal, inflexible and hard-faced rules of the old common law; it is more, for it looks beyond the letter and spirit of man-made law to the human heart and instinctive human mind. Its fundamental law is the principle of love, according to Judge Judey; and the administration of justice in accordance with this law is gradually producing marvelous truth and a blessing him that gives him that takes." The feeling of duty well done, must surely be the solace of the juvenile court judge and his assistants after a day's work in meeting out justice and opportunity to deal in ordering the lives of adult delinquents who are brought before them. Instead of being exponents of more sentimentalism, they are real missionaries in the field of the seamy life where loyalty prohibits the foundations of character and good citizenship, of the reformation of criminals and the prevention of crime exercise both head and heart. The qualities of the stern judge, the gentle leader, the kindly character and good play with similar naturalness and the spirit of good will and carneliness become contagious. The grimest archim and the most hardened delinquent feels the quickening thrill, produces "What's the trouble with you kids now?" "Come here, my boy," or "snitch up." "I am going to give you follows a chance, and I don't want you to disgrace me, any wonders that the guilty are generous and painful of a boy should respond, "Don't worry, us kids will stand by you, judge." The juvenile court of this city was established a year ago last July in reward of the earnest and prolonged efforts and labor of good citizens and social reformers, who perceived that the criminal, neglected, defective classes could not be effected by the ordinary machinery of the courts. President Roosevelt stamped their efforts with his approval, and, although the efficacy of such establishments was attested by a score or more, Congress had not established a judge to establish and support a of this character here. A single of its operation has more than made the claims and realized the antities of its promoters, and the results have been accomplished have been the agencies of social reform, reposition and betterment it takes first and of all the courts of the District columbia. It is the most intertwining to the daily life of all classes of the population congress wages each day in answer to summons, street Arabs, whom mischief or petty crime have lauded in the tale of the law, waits for whom homes must be furnished, and bears in arms for whom husbands and fathers neglect or refuse to provide and others whose surroundings and circumstances require the court's ministrations. Quietly and with pointstaking orderly and deliberate, a word of friendly advice here or of stern rebuke there, a line of searching and often sympathetic questioning which relates to all of the circumstances, conditions, and mode of action, with helpful suggestions or sharp reprisal ends—such is the character of the precedings. During the year the total number of cases handled by this court was 2,102 and this, too, with an inadquate force and a lack of sufficient funds, the Muru-bergeners, whose Impressaries in charity in Charities and Commons, says in a recent article on the juvenile court: "215 function is to discriminate between punishable acts committed by juveniles and ordinary offenders and to order the former to appear in court according to special rules and applies special punishments and remedies. Among the latter probation occupies a prominent place. Washington's juvenile court tills precisely this function. Prevention is therefore diligently imputed into and when found remedies are promptly applied. Of the cases mentioned above, 506 were dismissed, 447 were paroled on probation, in 71 cases sentence was suspended, in 477 cases inquiry into the Board of Children's Guardians and 383 were sent to reform schools. Of the 447 cases paroled on probation only 68 were right before the court the second time, generally resulted in sentences to imprisonment before the court last year, 276 been support of wife. In cases support and enquiry the sentence court is usually severe and officer William H. Dacey, who pre- the juvenile court of the Na-paif, is a remarkable type of whose task it is to save so- from itself. Young and enthui- tleens in labor and broad guaged powers of penetration into the work- of the human heart and human mind, ought to be almost divinely appointed to work in which he is engaged. He is the boy nature, his good and his end always strikes the right trail in the world. A potential movement. THE NEW YORK AGE. The juvenile court system of Washington is especially interesting as a study because of its relation to Afro-American offenders. Excepting Baltimore, Washington is perhaps the only other South American city with juvenile criminals and delinquents. Humane agencies for the care and regeneration of the victims of ignorance, poverty and circumstance have made little headway south of the Potomac through State or municipal encouragement. The only agency that has worked on the salt is that rude, inhuman and cruel modes of treatment prevail in dealing with a certain class of offenders of all ages. Thought for good citizenship rarely finds expression and the idea that speeches should answer and not machine the operation which would result incidentally in the improvement of the character and quality of Negro citizenship verges on heresy. That humanity alone appeals for something of the kind is sadly shown by the Asheville Gazette News of August 13: "T deputy Sheriff Williams left yesterday for Raleigh, having in his custody Jeremiah Walker, and Charley Miller, two Negro sentenced to State prison. Miller goes to the penitentiary for the release of his mortal sins. He was a boy eleven years old, goes for fifteen years." A majority of the cases which come before Judge DeLacy here in Washington involve Afro-Americans; and, before the establishment of his court, cases of this character were the severity of some of the punishments being for Washington truly shocking. Some of the humane and more enlightened police judges did adopt the juvenile court idea a few years before the new court was established, but there was a lack of initiative in theativo work which Judge DeLacy is now doing with such devotion and with such freedom from anything like invisious discrimination. If the Washington police and the citizens generally, could be as free from bias in their attitude toward the juvenile court officer and offender as are the juvenile court officials, including the probation officers, the work of training in right living and of prevention of crime would be an as-sured success. It is interesting, gratifying and great to see that the justice is being worked by these officials and none can have more reason to be grateful to them than those whom a misstep, or unfortunate environment, or poverty have made their beneficiaries. Perhaps, too, this will lead to more improvidence in the juvenile court. Southern Legislature should be petitioned in season and out of season for criminal reformary laws. J. H. Lovie.

Vernon's Elequent Plan for the Laboring Men Delivered at St. Joseph—Attendance Large and Gratifying St. Joseph, Mo. August 24.—The Negro Tri-State Expoion, covering the States of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, proved to be a plowing success. The exhibits were many, valuable and varied, and reflected immeasurable credit upon the taste, skill and industry of the colored citizens of this section. The attendance was gratifyingly large, and every one is pleased with the happy showing made. The principal address of the exposition season was delivered by Hon. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, who holds the responsible position of Register of the United States Treasury at Washington, D.C., and of the Vernon institutionally received by the people. He said in part: "Fellow-citizens: I feel myself more than honored in coming to you as the President Theodore Roosevelt, to address you, my countrymen, and if possible contribute in some measure to the splendid effort by the management of expedition. "I address myself to day not alone to the members of my race on purely racial questions, but the presence of these labor organizations impels me to speak in some measure concerning labor and the history of labor. Time was in the history of the world when the gentleman was said to be the man who did not work—when labor was associated with indignity; and society, misguided, had no words of praise for the bonae labor laboring that he did. It is clear that the dignity of labor is now acknowledged and that men have learned to view with pity, and more nearly with contempt, that one who lives upon the efforts of others. From a material standpoint, the ability to work is great. That Providence which decreed that man in the sweet of his face should earn his bread, thereby blessed him; for, from this labor of the individual have come strength of body, strength of mind and the illumined soul which idealize the work of man. That discovery in the arts and sciences, his making of books, his inventions, his overcoming nature, are all the result of labor. His annihilation of space, his utilization of man's strength, his comforts of home, and true happiness, are the rewards of noble effort. Mighty cities, marts of trade, harbors—all the accumulation of civilization and an international oneness of purpose which make this hour the admiration of intelligent people. In the sweet of thy face shalt thou eat breed." "The Negro as a laborer has done his part in this task of world improvement. He was working in that earlier day when civilization had its birthplace with those who were to keep silent vigil on the banks of the Nile. The efforts of his brain and brawn thread the world's greatest achievements and have seen their fruition in his part in the development of American civilization does most for the race when he teaches his children to labor and prepares them to labor intelligently. Labor is not to loil. Toil is the grinding service task, the portion of slaves, and cannot be where men work, and the most significant effort. The laboring man thinks and works rather than is worked. "The great mass of our countrymen will always be those who work with their hands. The safety of American rests with the laborers, and the reason the wisest statesman, the trust patriots are those who strive for the education, the protection, and the intelligent cooperation of the laboring class. There is much cause for congratulations to the laborers, and the intelligent organizations. With the efforts for civil, political and religious liberty has grown space the effort for industrial betterment. The nobles and rulers in the extreme of human selfishness, ground down in the night of their oppression these struggled unceasingly for a better day. In the days of Constantine there were no less than thirty-five labor organizations, having for their aim the doing away with the contempt for and taint of labor which from the belief that workers had no soul. "Through the intervening years, the inhoring classes in secret wrought out a better condition, and the cumulative force of their struggle was seen by the civic and French Revolution, which hade the world book up and hope for a better day. The stretch from Runnymede to the Declaration of Independence had meant much in the lives of nations, but a retard had been set in motion by the introduction of Human slavery and labor unions are not compatible. It was but a question of time that the free labor of the North, seeking to electate itself to a position of competency, independence and amercantile citizenship would, find the Hium of Human slavery and labor unions in South. The conscience of the abolitionist, the Christianity of the good men of America, who sought to do unto others as they would that men should do unto them was reinforced by those who saw the utter futility of driving for lasting peace, and that while millions of American laborers were but serfs and slaves. We are all thankful to day that from these forces freedom and that you of my race here to day, no serfs, but happy, intelligent and prosperous laborers. Our strength, organization steps power and your ability to know your interest, which is but the interest of your country, is evidenced by your organizations. The trades and vocations embraced within labor organizations extend to all phases of the labor force, and augmented easily. As you labor effectively and intelligently, can you demand and hope to receive proper remuneration from your labor. Increased remuneration with economy means the acquisition of homes, the possession of land, bank accounts, education for children, and training in labor, rather than being a public charge, become a worthy and respected citizen. DELIGHTED BUT ILL RETURN I DON'T CARE IF YOU NEVER COME BACK CANDIBATES' QUARTET STREET USA G. Sutherland Sidgwick DEPARTURE OF THE HEIR APPARENT. zen. appreciated by all reasonably fair-minded Americans. "I would not have my views impress you that labor can live alone or that the power of capital should be underestimated if you do not understand the most friendly relations and a mutual understanding between labor and capital, will inure to the benefit of both. In this day of compromise, arbitration and compromise, the leader can accomplish untold good. All thoughtful men agree that lock-outs on the part of the management of a great concern, or strikes on the part of labor concerns, can but result in injury to both." "The railroad companies suffered a decrease in freight rates on larger sizes; and it been sent to New York harbor of $14,000,000; and on smaller sizes of $28,000,000. The economic side. The story of the intimidations, violence, boycots, and all the accompaniment of a great labor war cannot be told. It was at this point that the President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, offered a blessing upon the mine owner, the miner, and the whole American people by a settlement of this great strike. It is the earnest wish of all that we may never see a occurrence of such an event all the elements of our industrial life may understand each better, is our hope. Taking Advantage of Opportunities in Material Growth of the Race—Long List of Business Concerns PHILADELPHIA, August 26.—As the initiative was made in this city for the education of the Afro-American and the upbuilding of his character, it has always seemed of interest and value that some record should be kept of this local effort at the upbuilding on a race. Shortly after the meeting of the Society of Friends, among the earliest being a "Register of Trades of Afro-Americans," in 1537, and a statistical inquiry into the condition of Afro-Americans of Philadelphia" by Edward Needler in 1540, it was noted that race developed writers of its own. The most prolific writer of the present day in historical research is the Hon. Carl Bolivar, who under the nom de plume of "Bencel Pusher," writes such interesting articles, and contributes to other periodicals. Mr. Mossell, A. P. Caldwell and Prof. H. Keating also are contributors to several of the leading dailies. The interests and activities of the race in this city center around the churches schools charities insurance societies and other business enterprises. They have developed business and professional men, musicians, men of letters, artists, etc. A leading American artist, Henry O. Tanner is an Afro-American painter. He is the leading sculptor of the Jamestown Exposition. Miss Meta Warrick is an Afro-American, and a native of this city. A small collection of men and women of letters resides here. Mrs. Frances E. W. W. Koeing also has a partial competence on the royalty on her publications. James E. McGirt is rapidly forging ahead in the footsteps of Paul Lawrence Dumbar, he having issued two books in dialect, and has another in stress. The brilliance of James Dumbar is rapidly placing him on the highest pinnacle of fame. The American Negro Historical Society, which celebrated the anniversary of John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry a short time ago, has a small collection of the publications being on the history of the Afro-American race. Mr. Carl Bolivar also has a very large collection, some of which the housing problem seemed the most difficult of the upbuilding of the associations could not surpass but with the aid of the building and loan associations and real estate companies, they have in a few years done a wonderful work iniding them in securing homes in desirability. Among the building and loan associations is the Cherry, the Banner, the W. W. Still, the Pioneer, the Eighth Ward Settlement; in real estate companies we have the Metropolitan, Mercantile, Afro-American Realty; the real estate owned retail from $200 investment in a building and loan association to the estate of the late John Mckeen, which was valued at $1,200,000. With this interest in home building has come also an interest in more independence in voting. The Afro-American in Philadelphia is fortunately situated in many respects, not the least being that he has always had the sympathy and cooperation of the better class of his white fellow citizens in his efforts to raise antagonism from the less fortunate of the dominant section of the community as do those of the race in some sections of the country. In business we have twelve lawyers, auto repairers, 410 music, 1 brass inlet, 2 blacksmiths, 3 bicycle repairers, 5 brookers, 11 boot and shoemakers, 64 boarding houses, 3 cleaning and dyeing establishments, 1 clothing store, 19 custom tailors, 7 cigar manufacturers, 3 chair makers, chirpologists, 2 carpenters, 2 caterers, 2 cemetery companies, 3 carpet cleaning workers, 4 contractors, 11 dentists, 4 dry goods, 1 department store, 2 drums stores, 2 dry cleaning and scourers. Afro-American children have "for the past ten years enjoyed all the school privileges of the municipality, passing through the primary, secondary and grammar schools and in the high, commercial and fair quoition training schools. We have a fair quoition in institutes to population. Many have taken advantage of the public night schools, Temple College, Dresel Institute, Young Men's Christian Association, the business colleges and other institutions for advanced degrees. We have a department of the University of Pennsylvania Medical College, Jefferson College, Hahnemann College, Polyclinic, Dental and Philadelphia Law Schools have graduates among our race, who have given a creditable account of themselves. A number of them have graduated from the Frederick Hahnemann Delphin Training School for Nurses, the Mercy Hospital and the University of Pennsylvania Medical and Training School. The most important charities are the Old Folks Home for Colored People, Home for Old Day Nursery, Colored Women's Home for Orphanage, Nurse Home for Orphanage, the Association for the Protection of the Colored Women, the Empty Stocking, the Fresh Air Fund, the Colored Orphans' Asylum and the Colored Men's and Women's Asylum. The Old Folks Home for several clubs and the Old Folks Home are building an allsteel building at 127th Street at a cost of $20,000; the Brotherhood has bought on Rainbridge street near 15th, and will fall down and build the most compulsions structure in section of the country; the Elk area located on Rainbridge street, the Citizens' Club, the Rainbridge street, the city, is located on Broad street near South; the Light Star Hall on Pine street near 13th, owned by the Hodarian Union, bought for $20,000, and repairs for $17,000 put on it which made 17th and Kater Street; the Model-Hall at 17th and Kater Street; the first condition for the coming season. Very many Afro-American hold special positions of confidence and merit. J. H. Gair. Interests and Influence of the League Far Reaching—Well-Known Lawyer in Chicago—T. G. Ewing, of the Union Bank And thoughts of men are widened with the process of the same." It is fortunate that the interests and influence of the Business League are so important and far-reaching that some report of its proceedings, and interesting Incidents may easily come into the possession of the absent. The correspondent of the notice is able to report upon some of the significant features of the convention. It is abundantly evident that colored people are learning some of the *tricks of trade*. An interesting illustration of this is the men of Indianapolis who was a delegate to the National Convention of the Negro Business League in Topakia last week. Indianapolis delegate is a truck gardener. His garden is located about two miles from the city limits. For several years he has followed this business and is now regarded as one of the most successful men in that line in the city, where he has wapped with every modern idea or raising and marketing every kind of vegetants of commission men, merchants and everybody else, until he got his price. For several hours he was the tomato Indianapolis market. When everybody came to his garden the market loose and went back to his garden the proudest man on the street. Everybody knows him now and they will be on their guard, and the next time he will trick it, it will probably be on a scale that will give people something to think about. Mr. J. E. Hawkins, the best-known colored lawyer in the Northwest, is in the city for recreation. He was in attendance at the sessions of the Negro Huntington Association, which represents Seattle, his home, as one of the most liberal cities in America for Afro-Americans. Prejudice is not a bindsure to any Afro-American who has an interest in the success of Ungar. Mr. T. G. Ewing, cashier of Ungar's Savings Bank of Vicksburg, is an older interesting stranger who is seeking the cool breaches of Lake Michigan. Mr. table indigenous to that soil and climate. He is interested in the assistance of every member of his family and saved considerable money and is rated as well off in ownership of good city property, in addition to his finely-cultivated farm land. All this speaks well for a class once a slave and who never attended school more than three months in his life. Presented with an Emblem. Mrs. A.

WALKER'S ADDRESS Brilliant Speech at Public Meeting—Convention Largest. Attended and Most Harmonious in History of Organization. RICHMOND, Va., August 27. -The first annual session of the Independent Order of St. Luke has met and adjourned. Its work is now a part of the history of the great organization. The session was the largest and most harmonious in the history of the organization. There were present more than 700 delegates and more than 100 members from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, North Carolina, the district of the state, the district of the corner of Virginia and from far away Colorado. The sessions were characterised for the despatch of business, this was due largely to the work as mapped out by the executive of the grand council. One of the most important acts of the assemblage was the organization of the matrons' board of the junilee department. This organization took place Monday, when 182 matrons of the 204 of the junilee department of the University of the James street. This meeting was preceded over by Grand Matron Mrs. Maggie I. Walker, with Mrs. Emeline Johnson as secretary. The report of the grand secretary showed that during the year just ended that 10,714 new junilee policies had been issued and the work of that department the most successful in the history of the organization. Tuesday morning the Right Worthy Grand Council assembled, with the Right Worthy Grand Chief Dr. J. T. Walker presiding. After devotional exercises the committee reviewed the entire grand officer responded to his name. The committee on credentials was appointed, after which there was an introduction of strangers. Other committees were appointed and then the right attorney, grand chief delivered his annual address, and the grand officer reviewed the entire work of the order. The report of the grand worthy secretary showed that 81 new councils had been organized during the year; that 31,019 new policies had been issued and 1,500,000 paid in sick and death claims. There were also reports from the St. Luke's Penny Savings Bank by E. C. Burke, cashier, and the St. Luke Heard, Mrs. Lillian H. Payne, manager. These reports showed the organization in a healthy and on the high road to prosperity. Wednesday morning's work was devoted to routine work and the hearing of the reports of committees. The afternoon session was given over to similar work. The morning session was devoted to "Emergency Fund" question would bring about a wrangle, but so well had this been managed by the right worthy grand secretary and the executive board that there was little or no friction in the grand secretary. Wednesday a public meeting was held in Fifth street Baptist church, at which Dr. H. L. Harris deputy for Richmond, presided. A rich literary and musical program was rendered. The address of Dr. C. T. Walker of Amherst and the "Race Optimism and Possession" or the Bright and the Dark Side of Afro-American Life" was the doctor's theme, and the subject was handled in a most logical and eloquent manner. No public petition, publication or identification of Afro-American audience as did Dr. Walker in this magnificent speech.

Wilberforce, Aug. 28.—A leading university of the country is now conducting a study of the little village known as Wilberforce, Ohio, where is located Wilberforce University. The village is not incorporated and has a school district which comes from occupying a school district within the township of Xenia. It is hardly necessary to and that even with the flattering title which the university making the "Wilberforce Community" the matter is anything but pleasing to many of the inhabitants. The study of sheep and swine, of horses and dairy herds, of poultry and pigs may be all right, because the poor bristle of the sheep is the key to the psychology of babies, for the little wonder-struck darlings do not know what it is all about, but when it comes to be applied to yourself by a little man with a slip and a pencil, who when he sees you come up to your chair, well, you must not give way to your feelings. However, the work has gone on quietly through the community, with what results we shall know when we read cases Nos. 1, 2 and 3 spread out in the paragraphs of the digified report, as illustrated. The Table X., of value (other than the formal information) of the other important contribution will be made to the fascinating science of sociology. "When it rains it pours." Announcement is also made that Booker Washington is to appear in a magazine with an amphibian cover, and the magazine is called "Towr." One feels like saying, "And then, too, Brutus?" Well, Mr. Washington knows us perhaps as well as the others do who will write, and he will not make us use of them. We all know when all were answered? Nous verons. We cannot paint ourselves and have not time to pose for a picture, and snapshots are woefully disillusioning. Man in his most natural movements, as we all know, makes a speech, in a most ungrateful animal. We have fancied ourselves quite poetic in our ambulations, and the electorates have given us more confidence, but the amphibian shows that truth is stranger and homelier than fiction. Willberforce is fortunate in receiving so much attention, and viewed with regard to its natural beauty is in every respect worthy of admiration and done much. From any point within its limits, turn in any direction, and a pleasing prospect greets your eye. The beauty remains all the year, changing only with the varying seasons. There are also well constructed residences, where people can enjoy quiet living by orderly, quiet-loving families. With no officers of the law, the community lives in safety: no dives or sabbos, no drunkenness or arrests disturb its peace by day or night. Good people are welcomed on such occasions, whither than mourn or blacker than chore, any "undesirable citizens." THIRTY-NINTH MEETING. Annual, Convention of the Mysterious Ten Held at Paris, Ky. LOUISVILLE, Ky. Aug. 26.—The State Grand Lodge, United Borders of Friendship and Sisters of the Sisters of St. Mary's, held its annual meeting at Paris, Ky. The next meeting will be held at Versailles, Ky., on the second Tuesday in August, 1885. New officers elected are: A. M. Wilkinson, M. M. Wilkinson, D. G.

The State Grand Temple lost by the following vote: 21 for and 76 against. Grand master of the Sisters of St. Mary's, solders £50 per year. Miss Lillie R. Jackson is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Ford Bard at Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. E. W. Marshall and the Louisville delegates have returned from the State Grand. Lord Mr. Robert Ketter has returned from Emmenage, Ky. Properity in the South. (From the New Orleans Advocate.) The South is in the midst of an unprecedented industrial prosperity, the demand for labor in the labor shortage is not due, necessarily to the indifference, lack of people, but is due largely to the multiplied industries. The South is not profitable industries of the South at present, and has called from the farm an unusually large number of laborers, largely because better wages are offered. The Negro is enjoying this prosperity but is practically the monopoly of the common labor of the South. This he should hold on to with tenacity and yield not his grip upon the industries of the South, which means his position, social, social, social in the plasters of this city, went on a strike last week, demanding $2.00 per day. Think of it! Common labor in any industry receiving $2.20 per day, and wanting $2.00 per day when a farm earn $2.00 per day he is the wages offered the common labor. Does the Negro really appreciate the advantages that are his? Does he forsee that there is a continuing and awakening in the industries? If he does and awakens in time he will not be succeeded by the foreigners who are coming in large numbers into the South.

There was a large gathering of the pasture and by delegates at the opening session and Preeding Elder W. H. H. Butler, D. D., who for the past fourteen years has successfully supervised the district, and who has impaired the entire conference by tendering his resignation of this, the highest office in the hands of the bishop in the New York diocese, asking for a transfer to the Third Episcopal District, called the convent, where services had been conducted by the Rev. A. W. Saunders, of Bay shore, assisted by Rev. K. S. Farreira, of Glen Cove, and the Rev. J. O. Vick, of Freeport, L. I. The conference organization was perfect, and the session was appalled. The conference sessions will be in progress morning, afternoon and evening. Preeding Elder Butler's annual address was the feature of the morning at the farewell being, especially patriotic, at the farewell meeting him up. For many months he has proved himself the leader of the New York diocese and at the annual conference he was the unanimous choice to champion the rights of the New York diocese at the eminent Council Conference. His address, in concluding, was as follows: "As I have applied for and received a transfer from the New York to the Ohio conference, I have a delivery in suggesting anything which, if acted upon, will prove beneficial. even though I feel certain it would operate most happily for the advancement of the work of the district. I may be allowed, however, to beseech you to make such arrangement and assessment for his support, as will insure that he will be able to meet the amount ready for him when he comes (as the discipline directs), thus sparing him the embarrassment and humiliation of listening to a pitiful appeal to the people. You cannot know till you have served in this office, and experienced the task of being raised up as a mediator, however you put on the presiding elder's patience. "I cannot close this address without again thankking you for the street obedience, perfect loyalty, and distinguished consideration and respect that has charmed me. I am grateful to the presiding elders with their presiding elders during the past year. And I charge you all, as you would have the people cherish respect for the obedience to the law, that you conscientiously and scrupulously follow the presiding elders in all your official and candidible duties. I relieve the presiding elder from the painful duty of making an adverse ruling and decision which must humiliate and discredit you before your people, or become hippie in an accessory after the fact to a woman, or in an accessory after the fact to a man, of which can be a pleasant task for him." "And I specially commend to you the superannuated prescribers of the conference, that you provide liberally for them, managing disbursements at conference, continuing the work of the church, their present infirmities and needs, and think the day—cosmeth peace when we (you and I), will be of that man in the active work, for kind and helpful remembrance. But the brethren on poor mission appointments are almost equally deserving, and have as little to do protect their own material interests. Our sons, the soldiers heard, and their names never appearing on the committee of finance. Let them not look and call upon you in vain, do not to them, and they will not fail you in your mission. My own experience in this conference proves that gratitude and trust are not wanting among the men of this conference, and that when they find themselves in the church, their will withhold no hours from him. I commend you to the God of all comfort and grace, and shall pray without casting for a continuance of his blessing. I commend you to the Lord of Christ, which He purchased with His blood, and of which you have been made under shepherds. "Till we meet with men on earth, or there, in our house in heaven. I bid you an affectionate and fraternal farewell." The El Dorado. NEW ROHDELL, N. Y. Aug. 27.

Prohibition and Disfranchisement (From the Disfranchisement Plan) The Legislature of Georgia has decided to amniate the whiskey interests and to disfranchise the Negro. It would seem then that the question of drinking the whiskey in Georgia has been settled to the satisfaction of the cockerer in that State. Of course, the question of disfranchisement does not materially affect us for the reason that our understanding of it is that the Negro is the only one in Georgia all the time, except in those in States where he voted for the man and the party, that disfranchised him. As the matter now stands, the prohibition elements must accept the responsibility for the "man and brother" who was already familiar and disfranchised. It will require much explanation and more talking in the doubtful States to analyze that need to explain the meaning of this most remarkable condition of affairs in Georgia. What Was Going On.

Our Grand Lodge will do likewise, and it is practically the desire of every Anter to make common regular sources of activity, and not an intellectual demoralization as herefore. We recommend parliamentary intervention, public agitation, popular manifestation and a coherent manifesto in relation to the solidification of its principles or the unification of its diverse and warring factions. We are unanimously convinced that constitutional principle must prevail and it will be the paramount question of the future and gleanes of it come from all directions. We shall conspicuously champion the cause to fruitful ends. Whom Another White Man Had Shot— Outcome of the Garbage Strike.

Three Men and One Woman Receive Assentments — Mysterious Warder Three Men and One Woman Receive "Appointments — Mysterious Murder" NEWARK, Aug. 28. A murder case was brought to light on Monday morning last by two Italian women, who were raking over the refuse on a dumping ground in Vanderpool street, near Avenue B. Whilst engaged they discovered a dead body, which, upon further investigation, proved to be that of Miss Lissie Lippin吉斯, who had been born in Benton street, Miss Lippin吉斯, born in Benton street, moiety of a missionary, emplaced by the Bethany Baptist Church. She left her home Saturday and was not seen alive again. Physician Elliot, upon examining the body at the morgue, found that death had occurred in the woman's neck had been broken and the body was otherwise bruised. Many arrests have been made so far in the case, but none of those arrested has been held. The woman's neck had been bruised, and good their promises of life. But if the colored voters would help them to win they would appoint several of the race positions. Accordingly three men and one woman have received apportionment of the $2,700, as follows: Halsey Francisco, vice-president of the H. M. Randolph Association, as deliverman for the Board of Education, salary $000 per year; Mr. O. M. Brown, Democratic chairman of the Board of Education, salary $2,700 per year; Halsey Francisco, leader of the Campaign-Quartet, also junior at the Court House, salary $250 per year. A colored lady from the county came to work at the court house, with a salary of $300 per year. It is claimed that this is more than the Republicans of the county have ever done in the history of political patronage, and is given big credit for the efforts of the Afro-American vote this fall.

One of the most interesting developments in the politics of the times is the steady growth of public opinion favorable to the nomination of Governor Hughes of New York to succeed President Roosevelt. We find this public opinion cropping out all along the line in the publications of all parties and in conversation with all sorts of men all over the country as we have met them during the past eight weeks. Coincident with the development of the sentiment inimical to the third-term precedent and to faction candidates has grown up a sentiment favorable to a personality strong enough to command the confidence of the National electorate in the nominating convention and in the voting of the Federal electorate. We have in Governor Hughes a man who meets all of the requirements of the situation. He stands for "the Roosevelt policies" of making the corporations deal straight with the people and for the policy of compelling trade-unionism to do likewise. What more does the country wish of a man in the White House than that he represent all of the interests of all of the people alike with "the Big Stick"? What Liberia Needs Prominence is given by Haytians and Liberians, especially by the latter, that by their constitutions white men are not allowed to become citizens or to own land in either republic. Now, by the law of evolution from lower to higher species, true of all men in all lands, what does this prohibition mean but national decay and individual jabbering, slobbering and final death of black flesh and white blood? Has there been any national life or individual spirit in Hayti since Napoleon strangled the breath out of Touissaint l'Ouverture? Let the good Bishop Holly answer if Hayti be not dead because it has cut white blood out of the life of it. As far as Liberia is concerned, does it need any more white blood to purify the black blood in it? What is the matter with T. McCants Stewart and his household? What is the matter with the 50,000, more or less, Afro-Americans who have gone to the jungle of it since it was established by man to defeat the purposes of God in the amalgamation of the races, even as they along with the scum of Asia and Europe are being amalgamated in this American hole of ethnic stink! What the Liberio-Americans need more than anything else is the spirit of their slave parents; they need to spend more time on their knees, about their homes and temples of state and church, and less of it star-gazing under palm and coffee trees in the wild and crude, yelling, "There'll be a hot time in the old town to-night," inviting European cash to be spent in extravagant hambug and looking into the face of something and getting nothing; they need to scatter broadcast among the black natives the white blood infamously infused into them by American slave masters, so that the foul spirit of it may take root in the black soil and fetch forth white things even as it brought forth black things on this Continent to curse and to bless it. Now, you. Mac Stewart, and all of you, get out of Monrovia into the jungle; gulp down the black savage and spew him out a white citizen who can stand up proudly, as the American dollar does, and sing with the stars in the morning. "I know that my Redeemer liveth!" If you can't do that, then die like a dog in the jungle, for the rab taken from Adam is still the god that rules the world. In Municipal Ownership Possible? The popular complaint in the great cities, particularly in New York, against the inadequate service given and extortionate charges exacted by corporation working under public franchises, such as the street railroad, gas, electric and telephone companies, has made the owning and operation of such service by the city, a live issue in politics. So important has become this question that the National Civic Association recently made an investigation of the subject and reached the following conclusions: Public utilities in which the sanitary motive largely enters should be operated by the public. The success of municipal operation depends upon the existence in the city of a high capacity for government. Franchises in private corporations should be terminable after a fixed period and, meanwhile, subject to purchases at a fair price. Municipalities should have the power to enter the field of municipal ownership upon popular voter under reasonable regulations. On the other hand a New York newspaper, which is generally regarded as the exponent of capitalism and corporate interests, has published a resume of the experiments of various Western cities in the ownership and operation of public utilities. From it we learn of the following unsuccessful results: The Galena, Ill., lighting plant, which has been operated for a number of years, has been sold to a Western syndicate for much lower than the original cost and a contract made with the syndicate for furnishing light for twenty-five years. The plant never paid expenses, says the Clinton (Ia.) Herald, and proved such an unprofitable investment that the citizens were glad to get rid of it. The bankers and other moneyed men of Washington, Ind., not a few days ago refused to advance money, for the operation of the municipal lighting plant there. It has been the plaything of the political leaders and it is so run down that an expert estimates it will cost $35,000 to make the necessary repairs. As the people have already expended large sums of money upon it without seeing the service improved or the cost of operation decrease they are now advocating the abandonment or sale of the plant and a contract for securing light from a private company. The lighting plant of Topcka, Kan., continues to show such a steadily increasing deficit that the citizens are now clamoring for a change. They want better service and their taxes decreased. An effort to establish a municipal water plant at Council Bluffs, Ia., failed; as after a thorough investigation of the experience of other cities where management and heavy cost resulted in failure the city council gave the franchise to the private company again. It has been necessary for the Iowa State Legislature to pass a law in order to extricate Dubuque from its municipal ownership difficulties. Soon after the city acquired control of its water plants the trustees contracted a debt of $20,000, which they never reported. To sustain it taxes were increased. Now a law has been passed enabling the city to appoint new trustees and float new bonds. The municipal water plant at Cedar Rapids has proved a costly experiment: The taxpayers are now paying as high a rate as they previously paid to the private company. They also pay the interest on the water bonds, the cost of maintenance and repairs, while $400,000 worth of property formerly taxed is now exempt because it is owned by the city. The gist of the matter would seem to be that there must exist a high capacity for government in the city which undertakes to operate its own public utilities. This capacity will be called into action if the people insist upon it. It has been repeatedly shown in New York that the citizens can put in office as capable officials as they desire. The trouble has been that it requires a flagrant condition of corruption and mismanagement to induce the voters to exert themselves to exercise their power. And then, when once they have turned the raisals out, they relax their efforts and are betrayed through the weakness or blunders of the reformers they have put in. Eternal vigilance is the price of good government, as well as of Liberty. So municipal ownership resolves itself into a question of good government. Read Conventions There was a time in the life of the Negro people when the slave serpent graped them to the earth and when they turned always to the Supreme Ruler of the universe for consolation and guidance. Did God listen and answer them? They have their freedom and citizenship. What are they doing with this priceless inheritance? Do they worship the divine spirit of John Brown and William Lloyd Garrison and Henry Ward Becker or the soul spirit of pride, van glory and hate? Is the spirit in the church and in the lives of the people or in the mountain? Ask the gossips and money changers in the temple; ask the wraughtling and self-seeking in conventions and other public assembly of the masses, who, through their self-appointed leaders, prophets without honor, reach after light and leading; ask the crazy crazyes after empty pleasure in the sabon, the dance hall and the church festival and picnic. Children of Ham, get you to your tent! The night cometh! The hand of Destiny writes on the broadside of Negro life and hope: "Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant." Even the Business League meeting at Lopeka was not opened with proper devotional exercises until the writer arose in his place on the floor of the State Capitol and asked that Bishop Abraham Grant invoke God's blessing upon the gathering, because in the time and place, the spirit of John Brown slumbered upon the face of Kansas. Forgetfulness of this high and abiding principle, that God rules in the affairs of the Nation and of individuals of it, is the curse of the Republic. We repeat: "Children of Ham, get you to your tent! The night cometh! The hand of Destiny writes on the broadside of Negro life and hope, "Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant." The hope of the authorities of the United States that the Filipino people would rush headlong into the bastard citizenship held out to them in the law creating the constituent assembly for the Philippines, has so far been an utter failure; but a handful of natives qualifying under the law to vote. The restless Filipino spirits have again begun to make themselves felt and heard under the leadership of Dr. Dominador Gomez in a revival of the fighting organization known as "The Catapunan," which had a feverish existence in the Agilpy religious agitation when the writer was in the Philippine Islands three years ago. The, hotbed of Filipino unrest now, as under the tyranny of Spain, is in the Province of Rizal, in which Manila, the seat of the Philippine government, is located, and in which reside the mixed-blooded people of European and Asiatic amalgamation, the inhabitants of the other provinces and islands being of Asiatic and therefore anemic or degenerate stock, the most pronounced type of which is to be found in the Negroid pigmies of the Caraballe mountain, over which we passed in going from the Fangassian to the Cagayan valleys. *The aspiration of the Filipino people after independence is a latent force in every considerable number of people who have developed a tribal relation, but when this tribal growth has been enforced by a sentiment of nationality—such as was developed by the constant warfare to keep Spanish tyranny from hitching itself upon the people of the archipelago and the insincere promises of the American people after the fantastic war with Spain, over which we have discharged more brag and bluster than we did bullets and blood in the war of conquest and inhuman subjugation—the spirit of nationality has become a passion which runs through the life of the whole people. Until the American people get out of the Philippine Islands, rendering back to Asia that which is Asiatic, leaving in it the deathless spirit of it, that which is American, Filipino people will remain a disturbing influence in our national life, an element of weakness rather than strength to us, with ultimate formation of Filipino character, for as a republic sows so shall it reap; the bread cast upon the waters returning after many days. Having swiped to himself all of the principles of the Democratic party, President Roosevelt is giving Mr. Bryan the time of his life to find a principle not built in upon such to make a final retreat into the obscurity out of which he came. Demagogues in all ages have found that they came out of mud and return to mud. --- There are all sorts of upheavals in East Africa where, as the outcome of the Algierasir convention, Europeans are striving to mate the wild zebra of Africa to the tame ass of Europe, but the black natives will have none of it. As if Raisusus was not pygme enough for them a real prophet with divinity all over him was arisen and goes and comes at will as did the prophets of olden times. It looks as if God is stirring up the bowels of the wicked in all hands. Secretary Ratt is at least consistent in advocating, in his recent address at Columbus, V. O., what he advocated in his Greenwich, N. C., address some six months ago, that the white South would no well to smash itself into small bits politically. That is all the white South is for. And when he insisted in the same address that Afro-Americans should have "a square deal" under the law he reknuckled himself as well as President Roosevelt for the unjust attitude on the rowsville discharge order which they took and which they still maintain. Presidential hopes make strange companions, so that often they who "are separate as to the fingers become one as to the hand." When Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom was a pastor in Chicago he did a fine work in planting the spirit deep in the hearts of the people that God helps those who help themselves. If he will preach in his New York pastorate the gospel of peace and good will he will succeed here. --- The efforts of the delegates of the Arbritation Tribunal at the Hague to reach an understanding on anything relating to peace and war remind us of the story of the two dogs which met over a bone and attempted to settle ownership of it each in his own way. When the light ended the bone was unhurt, but the dogs were so disabled that they died staring locally at the bone. Moral: Let each continue to shiny on his own side. The Nigara Movement and the National Afro-American Council are both suspended in the air by a thread of hope that the mass of the people will wake up and do something. And dear Dr. DuHois and his sort and dear Bishop Walkers his sort, with Horn. John K. Milholland and his Constitution League added for good measure, would do well to get out of the clouds and get on the earth and confer for the common good. And the dear race mob? O, yes! A recruiting office has been opened in Houston, and colored soldiers are in demand. Able bodied, healthy men, able to fight, are required to try their fortunes in the U. S. Army. TAFT PLEASE WITH THE SOUTH Consistent Position as Outlined by the Seminary in His Stewardship Speech — Urge Yemen to Leave Democratate Peace. LIMINGTON, Ky. August 22—Secretary Taft and party after luncheon at Elmendorf returned to the city at 1:30 o'clock. There were about 300 people at the Elmendorf luncheon. Rain continued through the entire time and Secretary Taft was prevented from looking over the horsey and the fam of James B. Haggin. Mr. Taft began his speech at 2:30 o'clock. He started by paying a few committments to Kentucky and then in all all all Democrats to join the Republican party. "The force of insurrection keeping voters in the Democratic party on the race issue was in this State always a more sentiment without reason. Nevertheless, Kentucky has been a further South. It has always been regarded as a solid Democratic State, no matter what the Democratic party did in its conventions, no matter whom it nominated. Under these circumstances, with the exception of Northern Democracies pay the slightest attention to what Kentucky Democracies desire? Why should the Northern Republicans, who could not expect a majority in Kentucky, pay the slightest attention to what Kentucky Democrats desire? Why should the President take into his Cahinet a representative from Kentucky?" "While an agricultural State, Kentucky is developing great manufactories; of them are more or less dependent for their success upon the protective tariff. There are, I doubt not, among the manufacturers protective tariff men, and yet throughout these forty years since the war they have come forward solidly to vote the Democratic ticket merely because of the fact that their far Southern brothers, "Now is it not time for a highly intelligent, manly electorate to commune with itself and to say to itself that the nation is in the grip of an action at the polls it shall establish its right to be considered by both parties as a factor in making up National policies and in selecting National candidates? politics of this country at what seems to be a repetition of that condition which existed at the end of Monroe's second Administration called the end of good politics. President Roosevelt for his expressed sympathy with the colored man the men of the South generally have come to recognize the sterling virtues and courage and independence of the white men and very likely say that there is a section of the country in which he is more popular than he is in the South today. It was not an exaggeration when a gentleman of Texas who greeted the President on behalf of one of the cities of that State said to him: 'Mr. President, we welcome you to a State where you have more power than fewer voters in the Union.' After discussing the constitutional amendment regarding the Negro question and the "grandfather" suffrage laws of the Southern States, Mr. Taft made a plea for Kentuckians to turn the tide by breaking the solid South, adding: If only under the influence of President Roosevelt's Administration some of the Southern States, including Kentucky, could be led into the Republican Party, it would be a great pathway of the voters of those States it would be a compelling glory of his Administration. It will not necessarily work for the Republican party in the old because the consensus with which the support of Democratic candidates is theocratic party has introduced a similar collision among the Northern States, and we might expect much more independence of voting in the North if the voters there were not confronted with the solidity of the South, which is the lower of my country, however. I long for the time when the South shall be received again into the councils of the Nation, and when the people of that section shall resume the influence to which they are outfitted and which they frightened by a mere ghost of the past. "It may be said that when I say the South denies itself the opportunity to take part to influence the cause of the Government and to determine its policies, I ignore the fact that by the suppression of the South in the point of representatives in the Senate, in the House, per capita wield a far greater influence on the legislation of the country than do the Northern voters per capita, because in the republic proportion of all their colored adults over twenty-one, while they exclude them from exercising the ballot. "This is true and it is an injustice; but the very injustice leads many a Northern voter to support the Republican government in order to prevent the Southern States, following as they do, the Democratic party, from taking any part in the executive control of the Government or exercising any substantial influence." Going into the policies of the present Administration, he compared them with the policies advocated by Mr. Ryan, and said: "Now I am aware that it is said that Mr. Bryan is not the Democratic party, and that the Democratic party is not the right-wing, low-citizen, Mr. Henry Watterson, is engaged in pouring out at various times most interesting views on public questions which assume that there is a difference between the Democratic party and what, the Democratic party thinks, everybody knows that Mr. Bryan is to be the next candidate for the Presidency and that Mr. Bryan's influence is controlling in the Democratic party, and that what makes up the real platform of the party. "Now I know the Democrats of the South, many of them, have no sympathy whatever with the principles that act courageous men who can look situations square in the fact, are they going to permit themselves to be led at the wagon pursuing a course with which they have no sympathy, merely because of the fact of the past and ghost of former issue. "They have an opportunity in the present election to make an effective declaration of independence. The Democratic party is the only party that is truly conduct of iron machine and the time is ripe for a change. The Republican party has nominated a strong ticket. "Mr. Wilson, the candidate for Governor, a member of the bar of high standing, is the best element of Republicanism in the State, may well command your suffrages because you may be confident that he will make a dignified, honest, courageous and efficient governor. You can on the ticket should appeal to you in the same way. Now is the accepted hour to break away from the dead bonds of the past and range yourself under the banner of the party of progress, efficiency and reform under the banner of the party of Negro question, declaring there was ne much they possible as Negro domination in Kentucky. He continued: The remainder of the secretary's ad- dress is that he delivered to Columbo O. In his address the secretary did not refer to the speech of Senator Forther, at Bogotá, O. yesterday. That speech Park was proficiently decorated and there were many women in the audience. Judge E. C. O'Reams made the introductory address, compending Mr. Taft to the people as one of the foremost thinkers of the Secretary Taft said this morning regarding the report that he would resign from the Cabinet upon his return four the Orient: "I no desire to divorce myself from either Roemerwiltl or from the President's Administration. I realise that no matter what amount of prestige it may have been my good fortune to attain in the Middle West any Nation wide due to my identification with the Korean velt Administration and to my efforts to carry out its policies." · FORAKER HITS BACK AT TAFT In Address at Georgetown, Han Queries on Tarif, NNegrean and Defiance of Federal Court. Georgetown, O. August 21—Senator Forker, in an address before the Chau tauqua Assembly to day, discussed Secretary Taft's Columbus address. He said in part: "All the provisions of the Hepburn Rate bill specifically mentioned by Secretary Taft in his commendation of that measure, except the rate-making provision, were incorporated into that bill by most of them with my active assistance, and some of them upon my own motion." "If the bill had been put through the Senate as it was put through the House and the Senate Committee, under orders to allow no amendments whatever, it will be without an redeeming features whatsoever except such a friend of that proposition may claim to find in the provision conferring the rate-making power on the Interstate Commerce Commission. It was to that proposition I was unalterably opposed. The Senate Committee has the rate-making power upon the Interstate Commerce Commission is not, in my opinion, answered by Secretary Taft. "He makes no answer to the suggestion that the three powers of government, the legislative, the executive and the judiciary, are united in the jurisdiction and that this commingling of these powers is unprecedented and in violation of both the spirit and the letter of the Constitution. "There was much doubt expressed in the Senate Committee as to the wisdom of following the rules of the Interstate Commerce Commissioners to repeal the imprisonment clause. "I insumuch as the Secretary entertains the views he so expresses as to the distribution of coventry and the Interstate Commissioners for precisely the same reason given by the secretary recommended the abolition of punishment by imprisonment as part of the Elkins law, by the enactment of a law by the Commissionation at least, that the Elkins law, especially in the matter of abolishing imprisonment, was a railroad measure, without the slightest excuse or justification." "Nobody has ever claimed that the Elkins law was perfect. But while he seeks to disregard the Elkins law yet he admits that all prosecutions down until this time were for offences committed prior to the Hephburn Rate law," and then says that criminal prosecutions will continue to be under the Elkins law, but as amended, that they will be committed prior to the Hephburn Rate law, and that they spent a large amount of money and made great efforts to detain them. "It my resyllection be not at fault, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and perhaps a number of other railroad factions that passes was also worth millions to the railroads. Positive prohibition of rebates and discriminations was worth still other millions. The great trouble about the legislation is not in its details, but basic, building an important principle and policy." Senator Foraker spoke of his recent public requests that Secretary Taft give a bill of particulars as to his tariff-review views and declared the Columbus speech not sufficiently luminous on this issue. "What I contend for, is that before any revision is entered upon the people shall be heard on the subject, and I have already suggested that such a step should not be taken after we have a chance to consult them in the Presidential campaign of next year. The secretary to say what in his opinion the President should do about the Negroes who "are openly and defiantly being denied their constitutional rights of citizenship" as in the statute recently passed in Georgia. He put a similar question as to "the new inflation" in some of the Southern States against the authority of the United States courts. SWIPING THE PRESIDENT. Prof. Kelly Miller Sets His Law Against the Administration's Southern Policy. (From the Washington Bee.) The article of Prof. Kelly Miller, excerpts from which appeared in the daily press a few days ago, was a masterpiece of composition. Professor Miller has said no more than what The Bee said several years ago. The article has been no surprise to The Bee. There are several commendable features about Professor Miller's article. It is logical, as well as manly. The language of the article is chaste, logical and concise. It is one of the most manly articles that has ever been penned by a colored Americans. The article has been betrayed to the South by the administration, from which he can never hope for redemption. Professor Miller has gotten off the fence and has demonstrated to the world that he is a man. The article, as The Bee has said, cannot hope to re-establish itself in the hearts of the colored Americans. They have declared, as the Plebs when they were oppressed by the Patricians: "Of what consequence is it to us whether our chains are forged by our enemies or by ourselves? Let the Pa's enemies or by ourselves? Let the Pa's enemies or by ourselves? Encounter the dangers of the warst." President Roosevelt has rewarded the enemies of the Republic to the exclusion of those who have been faithful and loyal. The South no longer wants his aid. He can hope for nothing at this time, and if the Administration continues to reward the enemies of the loyal and patriotic colored man, can it hope to receive his support? Not only will the Administration be guided by the teachings of Professor Miller, but they will act accordingly. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? Than Shals NOT KILL F. M. Gough REPUBLICANS ON THE RUN The Brownstille Kriver Making It Hot for Roscoe Reidt and Tafi—On with the Dance? (From Troy (N. Y.) Daily Press.) Already we have reproduced some pretty forceful comments from the New York安. upon this question, but probably they were tempered by the fact that the editor formerly held a diplomatic officer for which he was indebted to President Roosevelt. The Philadelphia Tribune reported that he and one under no obligations to the President, is more direct and emphatic. It says: "We say openly, that under no condition, will we support Mr. Roosevelt if unfortunately he becomes the Presidential nominee of the next National Republican any national ticket that he may endorse. We look upon Mr. Roosevelt as the greatest enemy the Negro race has in this country to-day. He has insulted us times without number, and will continue as long as he remains so. It is not to be enforced by any sophistry or benedict phrases that may come from him or from those who are friendly to him and claim to have his ear. Much of the jurist that exists toward our today has行动 toward us, and yet, forsore, there are to be found members of the race who have agreed to deliver the Afro-American crowd, bound head, neck and shoulders to the tail of Mr. Roosevelt's election train. We know not, nor do we care. We say to them and all who think like them, that the Negro votes of this session will be better organized than they ever have been. Roosevelt, indeed, has brought them together and never before. Today this class of voters are more independent, and will give a good account of themselves when the ballots are counted. The threats that have been put forth of a curfellow or of suffrage do not alarm us in the least." Almost any Republican Presidential candidate, inside from the two named, would escape this opposition. Naturally, the Negroes are grounded to Southern Forces, and the Hillary Clinton championship of their cause in the face of a frowning administration, and will be guided largely in their political action by his influence. He is not likely to be a candidate, for one of his fearlessness and independence, in a small show of securing a majority of the delegates. But the man he supports will have a distinctive advantage in convention, and, if nominated, at the polls. Not the least of the Roosevelt/Taft troubles, are the normal challenges of the big Rowsville blunder. BROWNSVILLE STILL A PUZZLE WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. "The annual report of Regi Gen. Albert L. Meyer, commanding the Department of Texas, was made public. Its most interesting event was the shooting up of Brownville. He says: 'The most important event in this department during the last twelve months was the disturbance which took place at Brownville on the night of August 13-14, 1986, a humiliable occurrence, which is still shrouded in mystery to a great extent. However, it seems to have been established that the unidentified man of the first battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry, then garnering Fort Brown, did go armed into Brownville and do some promiscuous firing, resulting in the death of one civilian, one horse and the wounding of one police "Up to the present time it has been impossible to locate or identify the individuals who actually did the killing Undoubtedly there was at that time musically bad blood. Brown and some of the citizens of Brownville, and this fact must to some extent account for the occurrence. "The attempted robbery and shooting of Col. Edgar A. Mackinnon, Twenty-fifth Infantry, was unidentified, some of the money in in an attempt to get money, presumably to leave the country. As a result of the trial, Corporal Edward J. Knowles, Company A, Twenty-fifth Infantry, was convicted of the offence and sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. In instance of heating swords into ploughshares, Gen. Myer says that Fort Brown has been deprived of its garrison and the military reservation temporarily transferred to the Agricultural Department. He argues that the abandonment of the force was a deliberate act. At present there is only career on the reservation. NEWS, NOTE AND COMMENT A. M. E.

The fears now enveloped either course were the department the charge of prejudice or discrimination would be raised. Under the circumstances, it is claimed, the department is forced to keep them for fear of a misconstriction of its role. The Presidential campaign is coming on. The Baltimore Sun says: "In a single decade, by the adoption of constitutional laws, the coined vote has been practically eliminated from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. In spite of the fifteenth amendment, only States in which the Nebraska vote is cast solidly on the border. In some of these, like Indiana and Ohio, it might hold the balance of power, if it were not known in the past. In the case of a vote in cast solidly for the Republican ticket, no matter what the issues or who the candidates, the Negro vote, ever since enfranchisement has been generally as an asset of the Republican party. The Washington Daily Herald is the authority for the statement that in connection with the war on peonage, which began in the Southern States, it is probable that an investigation will soon be made of certain so-called labor bureaus and employment agencies in New York. Assistant attorney General Russell, who has been involved in several States in the South on business regarding the investigation and production of peonage cases, says that laborers are supplied by these organizations in many cases. They are in many cases kept there under false representations. It is represented to would-be employees that they will find labor light, the wages high, and the life of the laborer is good. Of fact, the laborers are frequently kept in a state of peonage. Mr. Russell says that many of the old slave-holding class in some parts of the South bitterly resent the laborers' ability to break up cases of alleged peonage and that juries fail to convict the employers in flazzard instances. One of these cases occurred in North Carolina recently, when Federal Judge Royd severely scored the jury for failing to convict. Will lynchers he punished? The rumor is current in legal circles in Washington that after waiting for years for an opener, the lynchers determined to give the States of the Union an object lesson in the punishment of lynchers. The Department of Justice admits that it is lending every influence in the award of identification of the members of the murder chain Frank Bailey, a Negro, at Osage, Okla., not long ago, with a view of having them tried on charges of murder.

Prof. Booker T. Washington's able and practical address delivered a few weeks ago to the students of Vanderbilt university, has been published by request in the New York Times, and is good for profitable reading for both students. Are some of the telling shots called from two or three pages: "In the South the Negro is far in angease of the South African brother, because through contact with the white people, he has been encouraged to degree, taking the race as a whole, wants have been increased, its ambitions have been grounded; the Negro wants he piece of land. After awhile, as more education, he wants to put on that land with three or four in his character; he will want some new care; he will want some books; he will want to educate his children; he will want to build a new church house; he will want to support his ministers; after he will want a bank account, and after he will want a program of education going on in his life and education, his wants will be multi- black, will he be so ingrusted that he will be able to live five and six days out of both wounds. In the average white family of the South, you will find that the white child spends a large proportion of the life in the home of the mother. In the North, on Negro girl. During the years when the child is most impatientable, when he is at the point most impatientions are perhaps most heating, that child is in the company of this black woman. In the South, the child is most important, in my opinion, for the civilization, for the happiness, for the health of the Southern white people, that the colored nurse shall be intelligent, that she shall be clean, that she shall be contact with that other and innocent child. "I want to use us get back to the old days where the white ministers will be invited, and if he does not receive the invitation, will ask for the invitation, to preach in Negro pulpits, as was true the day before, and to point to the point where at least once a month every white minister will feel it a part of his duty, a part of his mission, to appear in some of the Negro churches in that community. They have been trained to use their hands, but their hands had not been increased, their ambitions had not been aroused, they are ignorant to the extent that they knew only a few simple and crude things; and they can satisfy themselves about by working three or four days out of the six, and then when they had satisfied all the wants they knew anything about, they naturally argued. 'What is the use of working any longer?' NO LONGER AN EXPERIMENT. Reconstructions of the National Negro Business League. The following resolutions were presented by the committee and adopted by the National Negro Business League at Topkapi, Kan., August 18, 1907. The Negro Business League organized at Boston, Mass., in August, 1900, is no longer an experiment. "Attendance upon its annual sessions has grown year by year. More than 1,200 persons in the seven years of its existence are allied themselves with it as members." "There are now 456 local and six State leagues, doing the work and extending the influence of the national organization in different countries of the country. The amount of capital invested in negro enterprises and the number and variety of Negro business concerns are increasing steadily from year to year. There are 31 Negro banks now in active operations. Negro businesses are in process of organization. Eight years ago there were but two. Much of this progress is due to the enthusiasm which the meetings of the National Negro Business League have developed and to the business agenda which individually has been given to business enterprise. "We emphasise again our belief in our honored president's terse epigram, that "An inch of program is worth a yard of complaint." This is the spirit we want our people adopt throughout the country. "We would emphasize the value of beginning now the establishment of businesses on no matter how modest a scale. It is not possible at the very beginning to have business enterprises to compare with our business businesses started years ago in humber beginning. "We would urge our people to secure homes, to root themselves into the soil, and before it is too late, get possession of the land undeveloped in the rural districts, and that there they are to find employment in industries such as it is not to be found in the cities. "We would be recruit to our duty if we did not urge the most rigid economy in living and steady application to such employment as we are engaged in. The bank account no matter how small, is the sign of an investment. We would urge the starting of bank accounts everywhere." JOHN RANDOLPH'N AMBITION. Nipped in the Bud by a Pikkerton Man at the Saratoga Racetrack. SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. 26—John Randolph, colored and suave, entered into the automobile business in an entirely new way at the Saratoga track and purported to be the first to drive it weekly. Chauffeurs are admitted free to the clubhouse lawn at the track, but without badges cannot enter the clubhouse or grand stand enclosure. Chauffeurs sometimes wish to bet, especially when they are in good mood. John Randolph thought he saw a way to encompass the evil of not allowing the chauffeurs into the betting ring, so he went out into the ring and collected the badges of bookmakers' clerks for the bet. These he sold to chauffeurs at the cut rate of from $1 to $1.50, and then the chauffeurs were free to speculate. John Randolph might have been wealthy if his game had continued, but when he cut off short to-day, John Randolph went out of the gate by which the automobiles enter, to stay out forever.
