Lending Negro Newspaper VOL. XXII. No. 19 SITUATION IN MARYLAND Republicans Are Elated; Democrats Are Annoyed CARDINAL GIBBONS Has Sprung One of the Biggest Political Surprises in Many Years ON DISFRANCHISEMENT Opposed to Any Plan That Seeks to Deprive the Negro of His Vote Because of His Color. Special to THE NEW YORK AU BALTIMORE, Md. Feb 1—A* stated in last week's issue of THE AGE Cardinal Gubbons' stand against the proposed suffrage amendment to be voted on in this State next fall has created much discussion, and is one of the biggest political surprises that has been sprung in Baltimore for many a day. The Republican managers are highly elated over such strong support from an unexpected quarter, and hail the Cardinal's declarations with joy. On the other hand, the Democratic managers are not over the surprise the eminent churchman gave them a few days ago by opposing their plan to disfranchise the Negro in Maryland, and there is not a Democrat in Baltimore who will not concede that the utterances of Cardinal Gibbons has been a staggering blow to the Democratic party's pet plan. It is the belief of both Republicans and Democrats that there is no person in Maryland who could do the proposed amendment more harm by declaring against it, nor help it more by championing it, more than Cardinal Gibbons, who has made it plain that he is opposed to any scheme to disfranchise the Negro on account of his color. In an interview in which Cardinal Gibbons gave public his views on the Democratic plan to disfranchise the Negro on account of Maryland he said: "I have no hesitancy in saying that I believe it to be both unjust and injustice. Unjust, because it is designed to favor the rights duly conferred upon them by the highest law of the land; impolite, because, in my opinion, it must ultimately injure the political organization which favors it by stirring up bad blood and creating dissension within the ranks of that party. "I infer that the measure is at least partially intended as a punishment to the colored voters for their continued adherence to the Republican party. If this be an evil, the way to cure it would be to offer inducements of a legitimate character to them to transfer their allegiance, in whole or in part, to the party now in power in the State. Fair treatment will accomplish this result. An attempt to push them will have the opposite effect. It is alleged," continued the Cardinal, of the colored voters abuse the franchise; that on the Eastern Shore, for example, they are herded together and driven to the polls like sheep that they are paid for their votes; that they do not vote intelligently upon public questions, but that they deposit their ballots in accordance with the instructions or commands of their leaders. The same charge has been made against a large body of our white voters. "While I have no personal knowledge as to the actual facts in either case, I am constrained to conclude, from what I read in the newspapers, that there are good reasons for believing that the charges are true in both instances. "Laws have been recently enacted in this State which is properly enforced, will stamp out this undoubted menace the purity of our State and militar governments. Apply these laws equal impartiality to a corrupt whether they be black or white. I urge to predict that the defense for the disfranchisement of the ill-fated ignorant voter will no longer insisted upon by those who have the best administration of our public fairs really at heart. In the case of the Negro, conciliation will some day win him over to the anks of those who vote according to their convictions regardless of party filiations. Injustice and abuse will, pon the other hand, but confirm, him his present course "If he is indeed ignorant, educate him; if he be corrupt and venal, punish him for his corrupt practices and his venality; but, above all things, let us not condemn the righteous for the sins of the unrighteous. Let us not be guilty of the great crime of a whole sale violation of the written laws of our country in order to punish individuals who break those laws in isolated instances" NEW RELIGIOUS SECT Well-Known Woman Discards Jewelry and Becomes a Member of Church.

Adeline Christmas, Market street, one of the city's principal thoroughfares, was crowded with merrymakers, and some it them became too rowdy and caused more less trouble and hard feelings. The chief of police was appealed to and issued orders to his men to keep the crowds moving and suppress as far as possible all forms of disorderly conduct using careful judgment in so doing. During the evening Prof Henry T Davis of the East District Colored School came along with the crowd on the south side of Market street, from 2:30, going to Cohen's store. When about midway of the block he was ordered off the sidewalk by Police Officer Zuber and compelled to proceed to the store mentioned by way of the street. On leaving the store a few minutes later he proceeded back eastwardly along the sidewalk and was met again for appearing where he had taken few minutes before been ordered away. After a few words had passed between Zuber and Prof Davis, the police officer placed him under arrest and took him to the police station, where a charge of disorderly conduct was entered. It seems that some one had complained to Police Officer Zuber that a Negro resembling Prof Davis had caused some trouble on the sidewalk between 20th and 21st street and this error is said to probably account for the officer being over zealous and making a mistake which he now regrets. Police Commissioner Norman has had the matter in hand for some days, his attention only being called to it recently. A conference was held at the chief's office several days ago which resulted in the following explanation and ORK, THURSDAY, FEBRU apology: "Galveston, Texas, January 16, 1899 -Hon. A. P. Norman, Commissomer of Police: I have investigated the matter of the arrest of H. Henry T. Davis by Officer Zubar of Christmas eve night. I find that the arrest was wholly without justification. I had given orders to keep the walk on Market street clear as far as possible and such orders had no consequence whatever to any particular color or creed. "The crowd on the street was very hard to handle, and Officer Zubar was simply over-zealous in what he deemed the discharge of his duties." I think Officer Zubar was Prof. Davis an apology for his "Galveston, Texas, January 26, 1909. —Proof Henry T. Darwin, L.

INDIGNANT OVER LYNCHING. Citizens of Mobile, Ala. Give Expression to Views. Monica, January 20.—The lynching of the Negro Douglas Riberson in Mobile Saturday week has been denounced from nearly every pulpit in the city, and at a largely attended mass meeting at the office of Joseph C. Rich, former mayor, resolutions were adopted calling on Governor-Clmer to institute a searching investigation to determine whether or not the sheriff of Mobile county performed his full duty in respect to the protections of the Negro.

A resolution has been also adopted calling on the governor to offer a large a reward as possible for the arrest and conviction of those engaged in the lynching. NEWS AND QPINION FBRUARY 4, 1909 PITTSBURGER ON STRONG DRINK Charges that Churchgoers Are Addicted to Liquor. ADDRESSES MINISTERS Cites Fifty Bible Quotations—Accuses Preachers of Fendness For Liquor Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. PITTSBURG, PA, Feb. 2- R. B. Thompkins, member of the Rodman Street Baptist Church, and who has resided for over twenty years in this city, has aroused a controversy among the church people by charging that many of the local churchgoers are addicted to the wholesale use of liquor. He has also made the assertion that ALL! AGE the person sending the names of will be published. ns sending in the atch will be given to nts sending in sub- red commissions. ISHING CO. New York City ENGES WANTED. several members of the local ministry were inclined to be on over-friendly terms with strong drink. Taking as his subject "Christians Should Not Drink Wine Nor Any Other Strong Drink," Mr Thompkins addressed the Ministers' Alliance a few days ago in which the subject was not handled with kid gloves. Nearly fifty Bible quotations were read by him in support of his argument against strong drink, among which were the following. And Noah began to be an husband-man, and he planted a vineyard. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and he was uncovered within his tent. Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go in to the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die; it shall be a statute forever through your generations. Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tar long at the wine, they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright It sting like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder Thine eyes shall strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them. When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the Lord. He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor grapes, nor eat moist grapes, nor dried. All the days of his separations shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk. POSTMASTERS PARED. Whites Claim Negro More Capable to Fill Job than Predecessors. Special to THE New York Aon. (LORENCE) S. C. February 3—All rudimentary opposition to the reappointment of Joshua Wilson as postmaster of the town seems to have vanished. While there are some white residents who continue to think that one of their race should have been given the appointment, none can say that the Negro postmaster is ineligible from the standpoint of competency. What the white citizens think of appointment, none cant-P-Yn preasimp Postmaster Wilson was noted by your correspondent a few days ago. Several white men were on the street discussing the appointment and deploring the fact that a Negro was postmaster of Florence. They all agreed, however, that Postmaster Wilson knew his business. One was heard. "Well, I didn't want him, but he knows his business, and that's more than we can say about the two white men who previously held the job." to which all assented.

The ministers have pledged Dr. McClennan that they will do all in their power to help remain debted of five hundred dollars. A great race conference will be held here next month. The three most prominent and influential Negroes of the South, Doctora Booker T. Washington, W. D. Crum, and Richard Carroll, will address the conference on subjects of great interest. Rev. Richardson's moving picture entertainment, and Prof. Gibson and company are here, giving successful concerts of a high-class order. The Morris Street Baptist Church, one of the oldest colored churches in the city, was recently torn down to give place to the new church. Many people have undertaken a great work. A Uniformed Rank of Knights of Pythias has been organized. This organization is composed of some of the best young men of the city, and is destined to be the leader in social events in fraternal circles. Captain Sparks and his brother, William, are a charago, which was largely attended and was quite an enjoyable affair. St. Mark's Episcopal church, the largest independent colored church of the race, is without a rector, the Rev. C. I. Smith having resigned. This sudden move on the part of the rector cause, as a great surmiser of the members, it is said that Rector Smith has made application for the priesthood in the Catholic church. The New York York continues to grow in interest with our people.

Commission State Education must be recommended for its owns by solving the pro- portions which bill for that to be proposed of Philadelphia, by the A. M. E. Minister are to be congratulated on among the foreign-born whites. From the logic of their strong situation the commission could not escape. Pennsylvania will continue to educate her black and white children side by side. There is no factor more potent and yet so quiet in its solution of the race's relations as a common school system. Under it, the white child ceases to fear the Negro, to regard him as a different bung, and it increases the white man's respect for the Negro. The Negro brightens under the competition, gains higher aspirations and increased confidence by the contact. Racial harmony and Negro progress are both thereby promoted. These great advantages to the race and the nation outweigh the minor and temporary disadvantage of fewer Negro teachers. THE WASHINGTON BUSINESS LEAGUE. The Local Negro Business League in Washington has certainly succeeded through the medium of its banquet as well as through its other work, in getting itself well before the public. Very few Negro journals have come to our office in recent days that do not contain some account of the Washington Business League banquet. The promotors of this banquet and the officers of the Business League must have a shrewd, active press agent who knows his business and how to get news before the public. We might say to other Business Leagues, Go thou and do likewise. In fact, Business Leagues throughout the country should keep busy. HIGH SCHOOLS, QUIT PRTENDING. HIGH SCHOOLS, QUIT PRETENDING. Recently we remonstrated against the pretensions of those Negro institutions which are in reality high and grammar schools combined, but which assume such high-sounding titles as "university" and "college" To-day we are publishing the objection of President Pollard of Selma University to the illustration which we then gave. The facts in the case as published, and which we quoted, justified our queries. We have neither the time nor the inclination to quarrel with any institution about its training. We simply call attention for the good of the race and the institutions to the harmful pretensions. We know, for example, of other institutions like Lane College in Tennessee which a short time back had six students taking academy courses and as many hundred children in its primary and secondary courses and still was passing under the high title of "college." Many of these same institutions have assumed the still higher facilities of college, secondary, degree. Worse still, these degrees have been given for a money consideration to unworthy and untrained Negro preachers. As a consequence there are hundreds of such preachers among us, who, collecting a small amount of money for the institutions, have immediately become "doctors." A Texas institution recently gave six doctor degrees to as many unworthy Boston preachers. These practices and pretensions not only reflect on the race, but they make the institutions look ridiculous. We need not tell of our pride in the work of Negro institutions. We do not need to define "university," "college," or the high qualifications of merit for degrees. We simply repeat to all such institutions—quit pretending OUR LOCAL OPPORTUNITY. It will pay every Negro in New York who takes any thought of the future to secure some real estate in the vicinity of New York as soon as possible, and the sooner the better. The prices of suburban property, sure to increase many fold in value in the future, are now within the reach of all Home building lots in many of the suburban communities, such, for example, as Port Richmond, Staten Island, may be bought unimproved at a low figure and on the instalment plan. Property anywhere within shopping distance of New York in the years to come will be the same as money. The present but passing slump in prices makes this our opportunity. Increasing immigration and growth of the city and the oncoming prosperity will soon put property prices at prohibitive figures. We need caution no one, we feel, against headlong and careless investment in inferior values. We urge our people, and especially our young men, to invest in local real estate. Do it now. Deep interest seems to have been aroused by our announcement that our special correspondent, who has made a thorough investigation, is going to write a series of articles dealing with the public school situation in the District of Columbia. Our correspondent is a wide-awake, intelligent man, who knows the facts so well that he assumes the responsibility of placing them before the public. The ACE, true to its custom and tradition, does not hold itself responsible for all the views expressed by its correspondents, but any news matters that are so important that we think the public ought to know about, we give a place in our columns within in our judgment they are of such value and of such character as so warrant. --- THE WASHINGTON SCHOOLS. HUMANITIES AND THE NATION. Since the colonial preclamation by the British conferred upon the Negroes of the South equal to that conferred by the French, throughout these Southern States, and we should show our gratitude by seizing the officials who help the officials enforce the temperance laws and that we do not patronize which are likely to spring up in defiance of law. Thus Booker T. Washington in his Old Shipp Church address at Montgomery, Ala., on January 17, before two thousand black and white men, valued the prohibition movement now swearing the Southland. Louisiana alone of the Black Belt States now permits the sale of liquor, while Tennessee at the recent election passed the prohibitory law. But Louisiana recently enacted a new liquor license law which will doubtless decrease her saloon evil and the vice and crime of her slums. There is a direct connection between Southern oppression and crime and liquor. Mobs almost invariably are composed of bad men brutalized by bad whiskey. Negro crime has been stimulated and sustained by the curse of drink. The lower strata of Negroes have squandered a large part of their earnings on liquor. Thus they have kept themselves not only poor, but ignorant and degraded. Without a doubt the closing of liquor saloons in the South will prove the greatest boon to the Negro race. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. California, assaulting, segregating and discriminating against the Japanese is putting rancors in the vessels of American peace—"vessels of peace" in the Shakespearan and not the Rooseveltian sense. A few days ago in Philadelphia a little boy, Joseph Smith, carried eleven little children out of a burning building Amending the statement of the great Tuskegean recently we said: Bravery, soil and sunshine draw no color line "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, still sputtering away on the fork of the President's exposure, is trying to get even by holding up the appointment of Collector Crum of Charleston. The old Senator won't be conscious of the fact that he is done and a dead one until the votes are counted Booker T. Washington at a meeting for men in the Old Shipp Church of Montgomery on a Sunday talks temperance to 2,500 black and white men. Time looks suspicious, but place was appropriate, for since Alabama went "wet" the men have taken to large vessels of water. When Cardinal Gibbons, in his condemnation of the proposed Maryland disfranchisement, declared that the Democratic party does not hold out sufficient inducements to get the Negro votes, he gave the cardinal reason in mild terms for the Negro's political faith since freedom. On the very eve of the dedication of Lincoln's Birthplace by President Roosevelt comes E. D Sanders, of Louisville, offering to prove that Lincoln was born in Washington county and not in Hardin, now Larue county. Did you ever notice what an expert a mean man is in picking the psychological moment? The report coming by way of Italy that King Menelik of Abyssinia is dead turns out to be a political exaggeration of the king's ill health. When the annihilation in 1890 of the Italian army by that strong Negro kingdom is recalled, that the welcome news of the king's indisposition should be exaggerated is perfectly natural The Philadelphia Evening Star goes in raptures over the Philadelphia Concert Band of fifty pieces, saying that this Negro organization of workingmen devoting their leisure time for art's sake to classical music stands without an equal anywhere, and is a social phenomenon If every Negro "phenomenon" were counted in this country there would be close on to ten millions Since Topeka's Negro officer, Kirk Pinkston, in the recent burning of that city's famous Copeland Hotel, saved many lives and $20,000 in bonds, the Negroes there are urging him for a Carnegie medal and a nice slice of the fifty thousand Why, gentlemen, visture is its own reward! Mr B. Jackson, of Jacksonville, arriving twenty-five years ago with $5, is now one of his city's largest contractors and builders, owns one of her largest wood mills, employs 60 men the year around and 100 in season, is a Christian, and preaches temperance to his men Mr Jackson, of Jacksonville, has succeeded without keeping his hands full. George Thomas, the twenty-year-old electrical "genius" of Catherine street, Poughkeepsie, is reported by the Poughkeepsie daily paper as "very successful in wireless telegraphy," the "inventor of an improved automatic fire alarm system," "deep student" and the constructor without assistance from foundation to chimney point of its own modernly improved home. Mr Thomas In the legal services. It is given, informally that Mr. Taft will not encourage the idea of Negro investment in the South. For years there has been a persistent effort in the South Department to fill the personal service with Negroes. The Lodge has not present to make, but suggests that already the Negroes are mo- tivated for legal service and the laboral service. The intensive mail service requires an examination and the Negro applicants are presented for it very carefully, and they are generally exceeding the white applicants of the late service. It is under the Civil service and an examination is required and the Negroes are specially drilled and set on the eligible list. White men do not have the time and study necessary, and they will not be long before they are placed upon the ambitions of Negroes who work and study to get the job. In the South it is not well to have Negro postmasters, for the people do not wanna be. There is no objection to the railway mail service, the railway mail service, and it is well to stay in the lines that do not provoke frictions. The men do not study to get in the mail service, and get it in an honorable service, and the pay is good. There is no reason why a man should not carry the mail, but should not carry the mail till he can get $1,000 and more. It does require study and experience, and the Negroes are getting better. The postmasters are another thing—Birmingham Ledger. The Negro in New York. SIR: The solution of the race problem as it relates to the Negro is as urgent in the North as it is in the South. Greater New York already has 80,000 Negroes, and the number is constantly increasing. There is little opportunity for the colored boy to become anything but an unskilled laborer—nothing to fire his ambition, no incentive to great achievement, no hope for the future. The public school is open to hung, but after that a never-ending struggle for a mere existence, a constant attack against the prejudice of whites, it is unwise, unsuitable un-Christian longer to ignore our responsibility. The Negro is capable of becoming a good and useful citizen. He should be given an opportunity to make the best of himself and become a strength to the State. Industrial training is at present the most urgent need. A farm school located within a reasonable distance of New York City, there Negro students want to be carpenters, masons, bricklayers, shoemakers, harness-makers, Macksmiths, market gardeners, dairymen, fruit-growers and poultry-raisers, would be a step in the right direction. We celebrate this year the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, that great friend of the Negro race. Can a greater or better monument be dedicated to his memory, or can it be commemorated which hall did the boys of the race for which he sacrificed his life to rise above the slavery of appetite and passion into Geishaism and law-abiding艺艺? JENNIE A. BARRON, M.J.—The New York Evening Post. Georgeta Chairman to Taft Sir: I beg to submit the following open letter to William H Taft. President-elect: Dear Sir: I have perused carefully your address delivered before the North Carolina Society of New York. For many years I have striven to build up a vigorous and aggressive Republican party in Georgia. It gives me no little pleasure to learn that your intention is to so shape your administration and its policy as to aid your unfortunate brethren of the South in maintaining a strong, active, and representative Republican party that will be able to secure county, State and national tickets for which the Republicans of the Southern States can cast their ballots. If your administration accomplishes this it will have done more than any administration since the days of Grant. An Ohio man completely destroyed the Republican party of the South, and in the wisdom of a merciful and just God it may fail to the lot of an Ohio man to treat the Lot. Let your attention to the fact that the "Negro" has never had any desire to dominate. This argument is used merely as a scarecrow. The Negro of the South "asks nothing other than an equal chance to qualify himself for the franchise," that the "election laws prescribing suffrage shall square with the Fifteenth Amendment," that these laws shall be "applied with exact equality justice," that the "judicial discrimination be made on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. In handling this Southern question you will be confronted by two great evils, which have crept into our party, to wit: Lily Whitism and the lifelong Federal officeholder. I have fought both. The Lily White issue can never materialize. The solution of this problem is to recognize both, as all have done from Grant, including Cleveland, who recognized the black men of his party. The lifelong Federal officeholder is a more great seething issue. The failure of the past administrations to recognize those who differ with the organizations manipulated by these Federal officeholders is the rock which splits the Republican party of the South and retards its progress. There are Republicans in the Southland who have never surrendered their principles or practised deception for a mess of mottage, who have and can conceive rantonage, who have been grossly misrepresented and maligned for no reason but to keep them from wielding a power which would ultimately expose the rottenness of Southern Republican politics, desire to see you succeed, be able to deal with these problems before you can appeal with success to the voters of the South to desert the "traditions of their past political affiliations and cast their ballots in accordance, rather with their economic and real political beliefs." I believe when these matters are up for consideration, T. M. Murrell, Chairman, Republican S. J. Morgan, Alliance, Ga., December 1, 2008. WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS HAS TO SAY The Negro people need unity among themselves along all lines of endeavor. A race divided against itself can not stand any more than a house. A kingdom owned by all people. When the race unites, it will be able to show its full measure of strength—The Nashville Clarion. That the Douglass Center is a factor of great import to the race will not be doubted by any sensible person. Mrs Woolley, under whose management the institution has grown to decent proportions, was the founder. From the very beginning, she and claim the sympathy and help of every progressive factor in the Negro life of Chicago—The Chicago Conservator. By saving a little a small farm can be bought, and by cultivating it carefully, more can be added from time to time. The European immigrants come to this country and settle on homestead lands. They should not be the Negro do the same if he is willing to lay aside extravagant and expensive habits, and devote himself to industry, economy and frugality. There should not have a home—the Oakland (Cal.) Sunshine. Much interest is being manifested by the race in farming, in agricultural pursuits generally. Recently at Laurel, Md., a movement was launched lookings for better conditions in the farm's condition. Among the things said was that the Negro farmer must raise diversified crops, and so manage his affairs that he will close the year with a surplus. In the case it was urged that the meat used by the farmer, and other necessities should be largely the result of his own work — The Indianapolis Freeman. Ben Tillman, of pitchfork fame, emerges from under the avalanche of criminal suspicion which the almighty Teddy placed him long enough to hit the downward wind another Tillman in the grassy countryside education upon the ground that it will have the tendency to qualify the Negroes to become useful and helpful citizens. Shame on a State disgraced by such a representative. — The Atlanta Independent. The Senate of the National Congress of the Republic of Cuba unanimously elected the Negro leader, Morua Delgado, and fitting tribute to the Negro people of the Republic. They have always furnished the majority of the heroes upon whose behalf the pount the struggle for National freedom. The gallant Macao, the Toussaint L'Ouverture, of Cuba, must have looked down with complacency on the seemingly tardy Delgado representa—The National Globe. The Democrats are having a merry time up at the State Home. Nothing so excipient as the impulse of knowledge of the possession of dominant power. The impulse to destroy something then becomes so great as to rise above themselves, who soon become the victims of their rapacious followers. Democratic rule is therefore always more or less turbulent and unalterable self-destructive. Democracy in Colorado—The Colorado Statesman. Hon William H. Taft seems to be holding "a level head" on the race question, and his utterances with reference to the state's political logic, and nowhere do we observe a tendency to go back on his utterances before the North Carolina Society of New York. If he can withstand Southern beauty and loveliness and resist the insinuating influence of the skilled Southern politician, he can resist the diplomatic and perform the war duties in office without finally angering his Southern admirers and his Northern champions. In history as the most remarkable character of this country, "The Richmond Planet," LET'S GET TOGETHER. Praise for Christmas "Agr." We offer our apologies to the publishers of THE NEW York Agr for our failure to make suitable comment on the splendid Christmas number of that excellent publication. It was clearly an oversight, and we make the amende good faith. The Christmas number of the resents the highest perfection of the typographer's art, and the splendid articles which embellished its sixteen well filled pages were as interesting as they were instructive. We extend our heartiest congratulations to THE New York Agr, facile princeps of Negro journals, and our best wishes to it for everything good. We are in heart agreement with the Agr. for a proposition discussed in its last issue, for co-operation among Negro journals, and we are ready to co-operate in Washington, New York, London or Paris We believe that the Ace proposition is both practical and feasible. There ought to be and there must be, if Negro journals are to have any influence on public thought, more unanimous questions which concern the Negro. The white press has been setting us the example for years, but we seem too dense or some of us are too self centered to appreciate the valuable lesson it teaches. The battle of the race is an intellectual one, and it behooves every Negro editions in the intellect with manners as will redound to the credit not only of himself, but of the constituencies behind them. We can accomplish more when united on essentials than we can hope to divide as we now are. "Le's git together"—Bree Grit in Yonkers Standard. Negro Observer at Washington. To the Editor of The New York Age: WASHINGTON. D. Q. F. 1.—Your correspondent notes that from time to time the various Negro papers equate with the important items and editors to the effect that there is friction and even bitterness among the contingent of Negroes holding office under the Government in this city. lington situation. He has been on the ground and has observed the character and the activities of all the principal officers in Washington for many years, and it is not a hazardous statement to say that those who are holding office at present compare most favorably with any group of people since the Government since the Civil War. Those who write upon the personnel of those individuals for the most part seem anxious to make it appear that there is constant squabbling and bickering among them. The students of Duncay, Register Vernon, Judge Turrell, District Attorneys Gobb, Assistant Registrar Adams and others. The writer does not know nor pretend to know just what these individuals are doing, but he does know that in comparison with the jealousies, bitterness and quarrelling that have taken place within the memory of many people now living in Washington among other Americans, gentlemen are getting on exceedingly well. It would be impossible for any group of strong-minded, independent men to be brought together in any community united on all propositions. These men, like others, the writer presumes, have their differences of opinion, but so far as the public concurred, if they had any differences, they had indeed being them from the public in a larger measure than any similar contingent of office holders who have been in Washington in the past, they would agree. We must give them liberty to disagree on the non-essentials, but the writer does not take for granted that they disagree even in small matters. Selman University's Record In Her Defense. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: Dear Sir...-Your criticism of the work of Mr. Dinkins was an important statement made in the Colored Alabama concerner Mr. Willie Dinkins, a former student of this institution, and who entered the freshman class at Brown University, and fell, in ingenious enough. Your college class, doubt, out of a misrepresentation on your part of the facts. Mr. Dinkins did not graduate from Selma University last year but in college; neither did he graduate from Brown University, but the normal or academic course, which did not, nor was it intended, to fit him for college. After graduating from the college, he spent one year preparing to take the college course, finishing the freshman and sophomore years in this institution, he decided to go to Brown University, where last fall he graduated from the freshman class and carried off one of the prizes for one of the best examinations in Latin. You may make the investigation when you wish, but you will hardly find a college or university—hite or colored—in the South whose course will equal those in the North. When a student can enroll in an institution in the South and enter the freshman class of a New England school, and then win a prize in less than three months, as was the case of Mr. Dinkins, I think that you and all others prepared to judge ought to say hurrah for Salma University and Mr. Dinkins. R. T POLLARD. President. AUDITING FOR THE NAVY Rapid Headway With the Work Under Auditor Tyler. Editor W. W. Your editorial in Wednesday morning's issue, under the caption, "Trouble in an Auditor's Office," has been called to my alertation. I cannot move more than you credit for a desire to be fair. You have simply been misinformed as to facts. Your editorial charges against this article yourself, are in error in several specifications. To the charge of being "colored." I plead guilty. To the charge of being a politician, I beg to dissent, as I have never had the time nor inclination to be a politician. Previous to assuming the position I now want to my duty as a daily newspaper paper occupant my duty to the criticism made against my appointment was that I was not a politician. You say that I am from Cincinnati, we are from Columbus. However, this is not the place of nativity had no bearing for good reason. The most serious charge, however, in your editorial of this morning is the statement that this office is eighteen months behind with the work of the bureau. The fact and the truth is that the work is almost current, and that too in spite of the very appreciable increase in the work during the past year, due to increased naval appropriations and a shift in the budget, When I assumed my office, some eighteen months ago, the work it was quite two years behind. Now it is but barely six months behind, a period really considered up to now, bringing up of the work, however, I clearly attribute to it. I gladly attribute all to the loyalty and diligence of chiefs and clerks in this office. You also charge that efficient clerks be thorough and been transferred, because the office of this office was a colored man. Clerks that have been transferred asked for the transfer solely because of the office to which they were transferred, the office to which they were transferred salary than they were receiving help. Transfers from departments to departments, and from bureaus to bureaus. It is not extraordinary procedure. It is quite throughout the various departments. The fact that the places of transferred clerks were readily filled by competent clerks, and the fact that this office is in the same location as the location from clerks in other departments and transfer to this office would effectually, it seems to me, dispute this latter charge. I do not think you would do me, or any other clerk intentionally, and this belief prompts me to charge the charges made in your editorial, with the one exception—that of being colored. Treasury Department. Jan. 27. 1000 —Washington Herald. WRITE WAITERS IN CONSPIRACY. fair Methods to Displace Negroes. Boston, Mass. Feb 2—George F Betts, head waiter at Young's Hotel and considered the dean of head waiters throughout the city, that white waiters throughout the city took time to time seek to have colored waiters expelled from a hotel by sending friends to these establishments, who make a complaint against the Negroes, which is done to show the management that the guests are dissatisfied and would prefer white men. Betts made last Wednesday night at the annual smoker of the Head, Second and Side Waiters' Association of Boston, which was attended by many. During the afternoon President George W Evans made his annual address, giving the history of the organization. Betts was accuser an ovation was called upon to spit in connexion to the above visited the work to "Such then was my connection with John Brown and it may be asked if this is all, why should I have objected to being sent to Virginia to be tried for the offence charged. The explanation is not difficult. I knew if my enemies could not prove me guilty of the offence of being with John Brown, they could prove that I was Frederick Douglas; could prove that I was in corpse againstCOUNTY and with Brown against slavery; they could prove that I brought Shields Green, one of the bravest of his soldiers all the way from Rochester to Lim at Chambersburg; they could prove that I brought money to aid him, and in what was then the state of the public mind I could not hope to make a jury of Virginia believe I did not go the whole length when the event or that I was one of his supporter, knowing that all Virginia, where once I was in her clutches, would say 'let him be hanged.' "On the 12th of November, 1859, I took passage from Quebec on board the steamer Scotia. My going to England not at first suggested by my connection with John Brown, but the fact that I was now in danger of arrest on the ground of complicity with him made what I had intended a pleasure a necessity, for though in Canada and under British law, it was not impossible that I might be kidnapped and taken to Virginia. England had given me shelter in Canada, and a protector there were on my track fourteen years before and her gates were still open to me now that I was pursued in the name of Virginia justice * * * Great changes had now taken place in the public mind touching the John Brown raid Virginia had satisfied her thirst for blood. She had executed all the raiders who had fallen into her hands. She had not given her bravery the a reasonable doubt, but hurried him to the fold in panic-striken haste. She had made herself ridiculous by her fright and despicable by her fury. Emerson's prediction that Brown's gallows would become like a cross was already being fulfilled. The old hour in the trial hour had ceased so early that the man had neglected not a murderer, but as a martyr. All over the North men were singing the John Brown song. His body was in the dust, but his soul was marching on. His defeat was already assuming the form and pressure of victory and his death was giving new life and power to the man. He had spoken great words in the face of death and the champions of slavery. He had quailed before neither. What he had lost to the sword he had more than gained by the truth. Had he wavered, had he retreated or appealed the case had been different. He did not even know that the cup of death mourned from the start, nor was right and neither 'principalities' nor powers, life nor death, things present or things to come' could shake his daintess spirit or move him from his ground. He may not have stooped on his way to the gallows to kiss a little colored child, as it is reported he did, and then he kept with the tender heart, as well as the heroic spirit of the man. Those who looked for confession heard only the voice of rebuke and warning. The Presidential canvass of 1860 was three-sided and each side had its distinctive doctrine as to the question of slavery and extension We had three candidates in the field. Stephen A Douglass was the standard bearer of what may be called the Western facet of slavery and extension theocratic party and John C. Breckenridge the standard bearer of the Southern or slave-holding faction of that party. Abraham Lincoln represented the then young, growing and united republican party The name of Douglass stood for territorial sovereignty, or in other words for the right of a people of a territory to admit or exclude, to establish or abolish, slavery, as to them might seem best. The doctrine of Breckenridge entitled to carry their slaves into a territory of the United States and to hold them there, with or without the consent of the people of the territory; that the Constitution of its own force carried slavery and protected it into any territory open for settlement in the United States To both these parties' factions and doctrines, Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party stood opposed. They held that the federal government had the right and the power to exclude slaves and that the right and power States and that that right and power ought to be exercised to the extent of confining slavery inside the slave States with a view to its ultimate extinction. "The most remarkable and memorable feature of this canvass was that it was prosecuted under the portiontion) shadow of a threat leading public men in the South had with the vehemence of violence that in case of their failure to elect their candidate (Mr John C. Breckenridge) they would proceed to take the slave-holding States out of the Union and in no event whatever, would they submit to the rule of Abraham Lincoln. Had Southern men pumuated the slave-holding effective means to arry against slavery and slaveholding manners the solid opposition of the North, they could not have hit upon an expedient better suited to that end than was their threat. "This Southern threat lost many votes but it gained more than would cover the slave-frightened the timel, stimulated the brave, and the result was—the triumphant election of Abraham Lincoln. "Then came the question, what will the South do about it? Will she eat her bold words and submit to the verdict of the people or proceed to the exertion of the people or programme she can set for her herself or programme she can set for her herself? The inquiry was an anxious one and the blood of the North stood still waiting for the response.

Sam Corker, Jr. says that if, in the construction of the Red Moon, Bob Cole remembered the old, familiar quotation, "The moon is made of green cheese," he decided that an "Edam Cheese" would be more in keeping, it being big, round and red. J. Rosamond Johnson ofttimes quotes the following: "Lives of good shows off remind us. We can make our show (Red Moon) sublime. And a record leave behind us. By doing wonders all the time The newest addition to the Red Moon Co. is "Milly. "Billy "Poesum." Incidentally, Billy is a for terrier, and the property of Miss Leona Marshall, one of the "S. S. s." Elizabeth Williams says that evidently Bob Cole firmly believes that wilt is the spice and pepper of life. "Strains tell us how way the wind blows." An enthusiastic audience tells us how good a show goes. If this be true, "his plain to you that Bob and Bloomond have put one through. So smooth Henry Gaut, the philosophical one. Able Mitchell's "Love Me, Baby Mina," is one of those lifting, laughing, jingling tunes, that long lingers in your mind, and sets one's feet a' moving in a rythmic sort of rhyme. That these icy, wintry blasts have no fears for the "Red Moon." is evidenced by the number of fur and furled costs worn by them now Mollie Dill, in her advice to the younger members of the company, says "Be true to yourselves and you will be true to your employers and their interests." She's right, all right. The dominant male chair is progressing nicely. Pearl Taylor, Lottie Lee, Marion Potter, Bessie Brown Klee, Bessie Tubble, Tyrone Turc, Tyrone Turc almost as eagerly as they do salary day. They are known as "Tux Arm Flenda." It is said that astronomers have discovered knots in Saturn's rings. She must have twisted 'em there rubbering at the maneuvers of the Red Moon chorus girl. That a stitch in time saves nine, is the motto of Belle Morgan, our wardrobe mistress. Wm. E. Phelpa, just to get up an appetite, walked from Borough Hall to the Folly Theatre. That goes for him but not for others. C. A H BLACK PATTI NOTES Mme. Jones thrills her audiences with the Rose song which she is using for her second encore. As usual, her receptions in the different cities are very cordial. Slim Henderson, the well-known comedian of this company, was forced to close owing to ill health at San Antonio. He left for Kanza, Mo., his home. It is hoped he will be able to join us on the coast at some later date. While in New Orleans, Will Cook and H. Gus Hall were the visitors to the Temple Theatre, a skyscraper almost completed, which is owned entirely by trained people. The host, Lawyer Vance, also conducted them through the innermost sanctums of his own office, and a most agreeable afternoon was spent. Tim Owley is very creditably playing the part of Silas Green, aside from his own turn with his original song which is a scream. A personality entirely of his own in every particular, he will invade New York this season and he will be heard from, too. "Think this over." We are enjoying strawberries now with our meals, a treat at this time of the year, and, what is more, they are only twenty and twenty-five cents a box. Owing to a big change in our route all mail directed to members of the company is now being forwarded to them, and they wish to state that delays in replies to same are accountable to the above. Mr and Mrs Wilson was at the after the San Antonio lookout for the Englishies Mr Wilson is the brother of Mrs. English, and has not seen her in fourteen years, and was greatly disappointed when he learned that they were not with the show. Thomas Lockhart, a new acquisition to the show, is a baritone of no mean ability, and holds fair to become another one of the manager's finds who has never seen Broadway. We went from Galveston to San Antonio "in a special" and the members do not wish to travel so "New York Central" any more. True, this is a fast world, but. France Games was the recipient of a handshake from bimetet from one of her many admiring friends, and she is the happiest girl in the show. It is pleasing to note that in almost every city or town we play, some token BAILEY Walker's "Chocolate Drops". of esteem is sent to Mme. Jones in the form of roses, candy, perfume, etc., oftimes brought by children and grown folks as well. Few of them are acquainted, and the majority are not, nevertheless showing admiration that is to be envied by any artist. Most of the members of this show are collecting postal cards en route, and it is safe to say that any such collection bids fair to eclipse that of any members who cover show white cards, as this show covers more ground than any other extant. And with our Canadian tour lasting to the middle of June, we can't be beaten. Sara Venable was visited while in San Antonio by some of her relatives and friends. Billy Young still flashes his cleverness with our show, working opposite Tim Owaley, and also acting That's all. All the galleries know him. Jeannette Murphy continues well despite her many duties, and will, at the close of the season, take a trip to Paris, France, with Madam Jones as companion. Would like to know the whereabouts of Will Pierce and Lucretia Knox—G. H. Lucretia Knox is with the Creele Belles, Budapest, Hungary.—Editor's Note. NEWS FROM "BANDANNA LAND" This is the fifth and last week of "Bandana Land" in Chicago, and the company is doing a larger business than on any of its previous visits here. The show is being advertised as "New Bandanna Land," for a large number of changes have been made since the company's arrival Bert Williams has a new song, "I'm Tired o' Eatin' in de restaurants." George Walker is singing "Down Among the Sugar Cane;" Alda Overton Walker is rendering "I'm Just Crazy About You," besides presenting a new dance entitled, "Oh, You Devil," and Henry Troy has gone back to his song of former years, "When the Pale Moon Shines." Maggie Davis has returned from Baltimore, having gone there several days ago to attend the funeral of her aunt. Mazie Bush is convalescing Dr. Dan Williams is confident of her early recovery. Hert William's voice is much improved. He is able to play with microphones. ed. He is able to sing with more ease. As it is now February, every night some male member of the show is fined for missing a cue call, because baseball is already the main topic of conversation in the company. Daily and nightly you can hear arguments as to who will play this, and that position, and the presence of "Rube" Foster and "Sporty" Jackson make matters worse. Capt. Bert William had a baseball fit last week and purchased one hundred and thirty-six bats, four nets, twelve bats, two barrels of arnica, and a tank of witch basel. Gumboftests have been one of the principal forms of entertainment since this company has been in Chicago. A few days ago several members were entertained. Among those present were Alex Rogers and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sheoacht, Mrs. Bessie Vanghan, Misses Day and Ellie, Misses Gibbs, Lightfoot, Moore, Shipp, Griffin, and Mr. Calcott Moore. An ambling time was spent. LOWERING CREEK, MORGAN'S MINISTRIES Lowery and Morgan's Minstrels report good business throughout the middle states the winter. The show is under the management of F. G. Lowery, the cornet saloon and his partner, F. A. Morgan, the barman and showman. Lowery and Morgan's record of experience have brought about a knowledge of the show business that few other companies can match with the same kind have failed. Their new object is satisfaction in the company by making every member a part of the show. Our car is our home and everybody is free to welcome their friends at any time. The performance is good. Juno. L. Edwards, stage manager, has greatly improved the first part by using only the latest songs and best jokes. He has entirely lost away with the long end men talk, his object being to better the show each night. The orchestra is under the capable direction of Professor W. A. Kelly, composer and violinist, from Pittsburg, Penn. supported by Jas. B. Hall, Thomas May, Wm. Jones H. L. Rawley, Wm. Maynard, and G. Lowery, for his work with william share his years of schooling with his musician. Under his direction Mr. Edwards is able supported through the entire show. By such rising performers as the Beechum, Chas and Blanch, Tony Mr. Richard, Henry Jefferson, Elvis Mason, Mr. James B. Hall, Carrie Gillibre, Carly Vassar, Carla Cunningham, Ben Johnson. Emotional mention is due to the Beechum, as their single and double work is neat, salty, and pleasing. Carrie Gilbert, though only young son betrettle, throughout the summer, naming him Kitchorn, the well-known comedian throughout the West, has joined the company, and adds greatly to the show. Lant, but not least, is P. G. Lowery. He is rightly called the world's greatest cornet solist. As a director he is in a class all by himself, because he makes his men then makes the band. The company is the most industrious of its kind on the road. Everybody is advancing. As a company we with all success. F. G. C.

Montgomery, Bass and Creed write that they are booked several weeks ahead and do not know when they will return to the big city. The act is at Gorman's Theatre, South Framingham, Mass. Tuesday evening at the Folly Theatre, Edgar Conner stopped the show for nearly ten minutes, the people in the audience refusing to allow the performance to proceed until he sang another chorus of "Bamboo." About February 6, the Home Theatre will be opened for Negroes at 2211 Pennsylvania avenue under the management of Augustine Falkner and Mr. Demund Mr. Falkner is said to have expended quite a sum to make the venture a success.

W H Smith, manager of the Pekin Theatre, Cincinnati, O., writes that the new theatre will open about February 6, and that business prospects are good. Through an oversight THE AGE failed to announce in last week's issue the death of Gertrude Peterson, a well-known chorus girl and formerly connected with the "Oyster Man" Company. The Whitman Sisters are still in Atlanta with their mother, who has not yet recovered from the serious illness. They do not know when they will be able to return to the stage. They send regards to all friends. It is rumored that Mattie Wilkes is to replace Jennie Pearl in the Smart Set Company.

While abroad Mr Wilson was elected a member of the International German Socialist Party, and John one of the large colored shows the coming season. IN THE SPORTING WORLD No Color Line On New York World There is as sound a bit of advice as I have read in a month of Sundays printed in the Negro organ The New York Aur. of this week. It is as follows: Here are a few rules to go by while our white brothers are bitter over the defeat of Burna Don't accidentally jostle a Caucasian in the street car or on the street Don't talk about prize fighting in public Don't speak to your white brother other than in a quiet, inoffensive manner It is difficult to show a spirit of manhood and independence at this juncture without you are charged with the crime of getting "fresh and upppl" because Jack Johnson won What a pity! Well. I echo "What a pity!" The Aoe also displores the fact that I tried to extract a little humor from the situation but let me assure the Negro brother that there is no color line in this page.
