LIBERIA STARTS ON A NEW ERA The Age Receives the First Detailed Account of Inauguration HOWARD IS PRESIDENT New Executive interestingly Discusses Important Questions in Inaugural Address NATIVE CHIEFS FRIENDLY Nearly Two Thousand Natives From Interior A land inaugural Ceremonies—Promire to Work for Republic's Good. From THE AGE correspondent at Monrovia, Eiberia, the first detailed account of the inauguration of the black republic's new president, Daniel Edward Howard, has been received in this country. The inaugural ceremonies took place at Monrovia Monday, January 1, and Tuesday, January 2, and were imposing. Aside from the prominent officials of the republic and representatives of foreign nations, the spectacle was made more picturesque by the presence of native chiefs, headmen and retainers. It was the first inauguration ever attended by native chiefs, headmen and retainers, and their presence was significant. They talked nothing but peace and prosperity, and promised to do all in their power to make the new administration a highly successful one. Nearly 2000 natives from the interior listened to President Howard advocate that they be given equal rights, and on the second day President Howard and Vice-President Harmon donned similar attire as worn by the native chiefs, the incident occasioning much good feeling. The new administration promises to mark a new era for the republic. The officials are working together in harmony; the native chiefs are now forged instead of war, and taking into consideration that negotiations for receiving the large loan, which was so successfully conducted by the United States Government have been completed, the consensus of opinion in Monrovia is that the country has started on its work of rehabilitation. The prominent officials of the new Liberian administration are: President, Daniel Edward Howard; Vice-President, Samuel George Harmon; Secretary of State, C. D. B. King; Secretary of Treasury, Thomas W. Haynes; Secretary of War and Navy, Wilmot E. Dennis; Postmaster General, Col. Isaac Moort; Secretary of Interior, J. J. Morris; Attorney General, Samuel A. Ross; Secretary of Education, B. W. Payne. Walter F. Walker is Executive Secretary to the President. The Inauguration Committee was headed by H. J. R. Cooper, chairman of the Senate's Committee, and J. J. Ellis, chairman of the House of Representatives' Committee. Some of the Things President Said in Inaugural Address. Among the things said by President Howard, who succeeded Arthur Barclay as chief executive, in his inaugural address were: "The great American Government after a silence, far from forgetting and abandoning the tender infant cast aside upon the shores of Africa, has come in an hour of danger to assist us on her strong pinions to a nest of safety. If we but follow her examples and heed her teaching of economy, thrift and industry, and if we are just in our dealings with men and nations we shall never escape her vigilant eye, nor cease to be the object of marked manifestation of interest on her part. "I shall do all in my power to maintain and strengthen the friendly feelings now so happily subsisting between us * * * as well as all the other governments here represented, and I shall expect the co-operation of all citizens to that end. I am afraid that some of us are too prone to the belief that foreign powers are our enemies, and that some one of them is always seeking some pretext to thwart Good purposes in the founding of Liberia, and to deprive us of our most sacred heritage. To any mind, however, our real enemies, our most subtle foes, our most potent drawback, lie within and among some of our loudest professed patriots. Liberia must attain to the position of a prosperous African state, and her sons and daughters are to be the agents to bring this about. Let us, therefore, go to work and do what we cotnend we are capable of doing. Let each one do his part, for it is only by the concentrated efforts of the whole that success can be achieved. Better School System Needed. Our school system needs reorganizing and perfecting from the bottom up. The joint attempts now made to provide educational facilities for the people make only the slightest dent in the stronghold of ignorance, and it is high time earnest, persistent and sustained efforts should be trained upon an adequate educational system. Parents must learn the virtue of sacrificing for the intellectual improvement of their children, unless they wish to create a mentally incompetent generation. Common education is the bulwark and strength of any country. The progress of any country, and especially the position it will attain in the rank of nations in the future, is largely to be measured by the provisions made for the largest possible education of the masses. In very few countries perhaps is the need of common education and the preparation of teachers more vital and pressing than in Liberia. We must see to it that this condition is altered and that with all possible haste. "Liberia College should be amply maintained for the following reasons: First, it is the oldest and most efficient state school in the country and the first and only state college. Second, it has been of incalculable benefit to the country in preparing and sending out useful men and women ever since its founding, and but for several reasons at this age of the institution it would have realized all that was ever contemplated of it in its founding. "The agricultural development of the country shall be among our chief concerns and shall engage our most serious attention. With that object in view we feel that it is imperative to inaugurate what may be called a labor bureau, or a system whereby labor may be engaged under Government protection. To this end the creation and appointment of two or more labor agents in Montserrado County, on each bank of the St. Paul River should be considered. These agents should be charged with the duty of receiving all laborers who may come down from the interior, and hiring them out to the farmers under proper guarantee of payment for services. "The Executive Government, through the Interior Department, will hold conferences with the chiefs of the different sections in the county from which labor is recruited, explain to them the policy and object of the Government to have them furnish laborers regularly, also of the Government's firm determination to see that each laborer is justly paid for his services. Each chief so interesting himself to supply laborers from his section should receive an annual stipend from the Government or a fixed sum per capita for each laborer furnished. A law respecting the Government's securing the pay of the laborers should be so framed that nothing, not even the home-stead exemption, shall prevent the Government from entering suits, if occasion requires, to raise the sum due each employer should he fail to pay a laborer at the proper time any amounts due him. Approves Financial Agreement. "The financial agreement recently concluded between the Government of Liberia and certain American and European capitalist through the kindly assistance of the State Department at Washington, it is needless to say, has my strongest endorsement and approval. The new administration pledges itself to observe strictly all of its provisions and to afford all necessary facilities for its smooth and effective operation. "The agreement, though in some respects it may appear to place a little restriction upon us in the management, collection and control of our customs revenues, yet in its political bearings, I am sure, will prove to be of incalculable benefit to the republic. Hence it becomes the solemn and imperative duty of every citizen to give his individual support to the Government in its efforts to initiate and prosecute such a measure, which must tend to our national preservation and security. If the temporary management in the hands of others of a part of our government machinery will result in actual and permanent independence and international respect, which I firmly believe will be the outcome, then it becomes out imperative duty as patriotic citizens to make such a necessary and noble sacrifice. Short Sketch of New President Daniel Edward Howard, who was elected President of Liberia May 2, 1911 and inaugurated the first of the year, was born in Monrovia, August 4, 1861. While quite an infant his mother died and a grand aunt was entrusted with his care. The new President's father was the late Thomas W. Howard, who for over twenty-five years was chief government printer, and during several political campaigns chairman and leader of the Whig Party. The Howards belong to one of the old pioneer families associated with the historical Elijah Johnson. The first schol ever attended by Mr. Howard was the Methodist Seminary at Monrovia, now the College of West Africa. Later he entered the preparatory department of Liberia College and matriculated in the college proper during the presidency of Prof. Martin H. Freeman. While attending college Mr. Howard worked at the printing trade until Dr. Edward W. Blyden took charge of Liberia College, who made a rule that students would either have to give their whole time to study or leave the institution. Soon afterwards he was compelled to quit college. When the late President Hilary Johnson entered office he employed Mr. Howard as his private secretary, in which capacity he served the entire eight years of Johnson's administration. President Johnson was so attached to the young man that in 1886 he appointed him Clerk of the Superior Court of Montserrado County and continued him as his private secretary. He remained in the position as clerk of that court for sixteen years. Under Coleman's administration he was appointed Superintendent of Montserrado County and did so well with the county's funds that immediately upon the inauguration of President Barclay he was entrusted with the conduct of the Treasury Department. The position of Secretary of the Treasury of Liberia is a very difficult one. He is the paymaster of the Republic. As head of the Treasury service of the Republic, Mr. Howard did his level best to remedy this most prominent point of weakness in the country's finances. C. D. B. KING Secretary of State WILMOTE E.

HOWARD THOMASI W. HAYNES Secretary of Treasury J. U. MORRIS Secretary of Interior COL. BAAC HOERT President General WALTER F. WALNER Secretary to the President Some of the Members of Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs Thought Contribution Usecary. There has been a difference of opinion existing among the members of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs lately as to the practicability of giving $25 monthly to Harriet Tubman, who is an inmate of the Tubman Home at Auburn, N. Y. Some of the members favored continuing giving the money, while others did not think that the contribution was necessary. Dr. James Edward Mason, secretary of Living stone College, Salisbury, N. C., learning of the subject at issue in the federation decided to make a personal investigation of Aunt Harriet's condition and report his findings. Dr. Mason, who is well known in northern New York, called on Harriet Tubman a few weeks ago. He has informed the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs that the heroine of slavery days, while being looked after, needs the money sent her by the federation, which is used to meet her expenses, which are large. It is said that some of the members of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs were of the opinion that Aunt Harriet received quite a sum from the Government, which was quite ample for her needs. However, it has been learned that the amount she receives as a pension is not more than $20 monthly. Dr. Mason's Letter to Federation. The report of Dr. Mason to the federation follows: "To the Members of the Empire State Federations of Women's Club: "When closing a five weeks' series of lectures in Canada the early part of December, I received a communication at Toronto from my old friend, the Rev. Charles A. Smith, chaplain of the Tubman Home, Auburn, N. Y., who is one of the surviving members of the famous 54th Massachusetts Volunteers. Among other things, he said, 'What has become of you? Have you forsaken us? We would like to have you at a dinner of old friends about December, as we hear you intend visiting England early next year.' "I returned to the states a few days later, en route South. On Thursday evening, December 21st, I arrived at Auburn and was taken in a carriage, to the Tubman Home, nearly two miles from the station. The home is finely located on South street about one-half mile from the millionaire row. The property consists of twenty-six acres (Continued on Page 8.) for delegates, is not commuting from his friends here that he and Postmaster General Hitchcock have broken friendship. As a sign that Mr. Johnson can no longer hask in the favor of the Post Master General it is said and confirmed by Mr. Johnson, that Hitchcock requested that he (Johnson) return the autographed photo of the Postmaster General which the latter had given the Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Johnson, it is said, wrote across the photograph of the Postmaster General the words: "Received without solicitation and returned without regret," and then sent it by the fastest mail route to the Postmaster General. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Hitchcock had been close friends ever since prior to the last national convention, and it was Mr. Hitchcock who had Mr. Johnson appointed Recorder of Deeds. Mr. Johnson is here hustling for Taft-instructed delegates to the national convention. LOUISIANA'S POPULATION Late Census Shows that There Are in State 941,125 Whites to 713,874 Negroes. New Orleans Has 248,435 Whites and 88,282 Negroes. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 7.—A preliminary statement of the white and Negro population of Louisiana, by parishes and principal cities, as shown by the returns of the thirteenth decennial census, taken as of April 15, 1910. has been issued by Director Durand of the bureau of the census, department of Commerce and Labor. The total population of Louisiana in 1910 was subdivided as to color as follows: White, 941,125; Negro, 713,874; all other persons (Indians and Chinese, Japanese and other Asiatics), 1389. The equivalent figures for 1900 were: White, 729,126; Negro, 650,804; all other, 1209. For 1890 they were: White, 558,395; Negro, 559,193; all other, 1,000. The Negro population constituted 43.1 per cent. of the total population of the State in 1910, as against 47.1 per cent. in 1900 and 50 per cent. in 1890. The rate increase in the Negro population since 1900 was less than that for the preceding decade, the increase from 1900 to 1901 being 36,070 or 9.7 per cent, as compared with 91,611 or 16.4 per cent, from 1890 to 1900. The white population increased from 1900 to 1910 at a somewhat lower rate than from 1890 to 1900, the increase being respectively 211,513, or 29 per cent, as against 171,217, or 30.7 per cent.

Watson Charges That Thaddeus L. McDonald Made Unwarranted Attack on Mr. DeCordova. Many West Indian Negroes now living in this country, who have been following the discussion appearing in THE Ace relative to true conditions in Jamaica, are inclined to side with the views expressed on the subject by Attorney O'Connor DeCordova rather than with the impressions of Thaddeus L. McDonald, a student at Morgan College, Baltimore. Among those to side with Mr. DeCordova is J. S. Watson, a native of Jamaica, who asserts that Mr. McDonald made a warranted attack on Mr. DeCordova. Mr. Watson says: "During the long, drawn-out West Indian discussion in the papers, I remained passive for the reason that I abhor the idea of making myself conspicuous in print, and further, because of entertaining the hope that sooner or later some disinterested party would appear who would give the American public an impartial impression of the West Indian, based on his personal observation. "When, therefore, I read O'Connor DeCordova's article in THE AGE respecting the West Indies, I concluded that it would terminate the controversy; first, because Mr. DeCordova is, to use Mr. McDonald's expression, "a man of intellectual attainment, social status and an unblemished character"; secondly, because of his vast experience through many years' practice at the bar and later as a high government official, which brought him in contact with all classes of West Indians; and thirdly, because he is a white man. Provoked by Statements of McDonald. Provoked by Statements of McDonald. "Thaddeus L. McDonald's unwarranted attack on Mr. DeCordova's very fair statement has now induced me to take up the issue. I wish it distinctly understood at the outset that my purpose is not to discuss the relative merits of the West Indian and the American, for that is not the point at issue. Furthermore, it is conceded that in every country on the face of the earth there are two classes of persons; the one representing the best type of citizenship and the other the conduct of whose members reflects discredit and disgrace on the land of their birth and their fellow citizens. It would therefore be unfair to one country as to the other to select a representative West Indian Negro for comparison with a low type American Negro and vice versa, and then say here is a (Continued on Page 8.) Missouri News-Scimitar Tale Whites of the South that They Wanted Understand New and Natural Evolution of Rise Relationship-Paper, Defense Ignorance and Fear of Education. Special to The New York Am. MEMPHIS, Teen., Feb. 6.—Declaring for Negro education, and advising the white people of the South that they must educate themselves to an understanding of the new and natural evolution in race relationship, the Memphis News-Scimitar, one of the most influential papers in the South, has attracted more than ordinary attention by taking such a broad-minded stand. Under the caption "Negro Advancement," the News-Scimitar says: "If all the colored brethren were Booker Washingtona, remarks a Chicago editor, 'the race problem would vanish.'" "This is doubtful. The chief grievance against the colored man seems to be his disposition to rise to a level with the white man. We are told by Dr. Tom Dixon, for example, that as an ignorant laborer the colored man is all right, but that education spoils him—makes him a monstrosity." "If this is comprehensible at all, it seems that so long as the colored man is content to be little more than a mere animal, and to do the whites' dirty work, he is acceptable; but that as a man, with soul, and aspiration, and advancement, he is intolerable. "According to this view, Booker Washington is a monstrosity, and just the sort of a man who is shaking the tranquility of the whites. But this view cannot be acceptable to the common sense of humanity. "There is an element in the South that makes noise out of all proportion to its numbers, which seeks to hold the Negro, through his ignorance, in voluntary and perpetual slavery. Education and industrial skill threaten to emancipate him. Hence the tears. "It would be more true to say that if all whites had the broad mind and high spirit of Booker Washington, there would be no race question to settle. There would be hearty co-operation for the advancement of both whites and Negroes. "The whole problem has grown out of the fact that while the colored leaders have made great progress toward a solution of the questions growing out of race rivalry, the whites have entrenched themselves in Negro hate and stood still. "The white people of the South need to separate themselves to an understood understanding and natural evolution." PLAN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN Great Trip Through Florida to Be Made by Booker T. Washington and Party in Maroh. Special to THE NEW YORK AOK. PENSACOLA, Florida, Feb. 6—Dr. Booker T. Washington, together with a number of prominent colored people in Florida, and out of Florida, is planning to make an educational campaign through the State of Florida, beginning at Pensacola on March 1, and extending through March 7. In some respects this will be the most important educational trip that Dr. Washington has made. M. M. Lewey of Pensacola, Fla., President of the Florida State Negro Business League, is in charge of the trip, and is being liberally assisted by prominent colored people in every part of Florida. Aside from prominent colored people in Florida who will accompany Dr. Washington, the Florida business men have also invited the persons who have been in charge of Dr. Washington's tours in other States. Those who have accepted invitations from outside of Florida include such prominent persons as Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of the U. S. Treasury, Washington, D. C.; Maj. R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute, Va.; W. T. B. Williams, field secretary of the John F. Slater Fund; Dr. George C. Hall of Chicago; the Rev. Richard Carroll, editor of the *Plowman*, Columbia, S. C.; John Merrick and C. C. Spaulding of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Insurance Company, Durham, N. C.; Dr. S. G. Elbert of Wilmington, Del.; Dr. M. W. Gilbert of Selma University, Selma, Ala.; Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Charlotte, N. C.; W. T. Andrews, editor of the *Defender*, Sumter, S. C.; J. B. Bell, the wealthy real estate man of Houston, Tex.; and R. L. Smith, president of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas. Already both men and women at the points to be touched in Florida are hard at work with their preparations. It is expected that Dr. Washington will speak briefly at many points where the train will stop for a few minutes, aside from the points already scheduled. NEGRO'S BRAVERY SAVES LIVES. Special to The New York Aon LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 6—Heroism of Stewart Wade, a colored jitor, who ran his elevator to the top floor twice through the flames, saved the occupants of the fashionable six-story St. James apartment house from death when fire destroyed the structure early Monaday. Just as Wade finished his second trip the cable broke and the cage dropped to the floor of the basement. Seventy-five people were rendered homeless and driver into the zero weather and slam in their night clothes. Nothing was saved and the loss will total more than $100,000. Mrs. E. S. Collins, an aged woman, received a broken leg by falling down stairs. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Feb. 6. Newcomer in the South who contemplate coming North to work would show judgment thoroughly investigating the standing of the various employment agencies, which advertise and promise to secure employment for southern Negroes in the northern States. The overseers of the plant in this city had an experience, and were with two colored women who had been victimized by a fake employment business, and the published facts should be a warning to all who plan to leave the South and make their home in the North. The case, which attracted so much attention in Williamsport last week, was that of two women, one of whom had a small baby, who had been fooled from their homes in Richmond, Va., to Bellefonte, Pa., by an employment bureau. Upon arriving at Bellefonte, the women found that they had been received by the employment bureau and that there was no work for them. Just a person in Bellefonte knew of their coming. bellefonte, who directed them in the transport for assistance. The nates arrived in Wiltshire with the thermometer at twenty below zero, and they presented a pittable picture. The officials in the city informed the charity applicants that it was impossible to send them to Richmond, but that transportation to the adjoining county would be furnished, and that the officials in the next county would send them to the next, and so on until they would finally reach Richmond. To make the trip from Bellefonte, Pa. to Richmond, Va., in rekys proved a hardship to the female victims of the unscrupulous employment bureau people, and upon reaching Richmond they were much impaired both mentally and physically. REPUBLICANS HAVE LOVEFEAST Dollar Dinner at Wheeling Friday Evening was No "Lilly White" Attendee —Attorney E. J. Graham, Jr., One of the Principal Speakers. Special to THE NEW YORK ACM WHEELING, W. VA., Feb. 6—Factional differences were buried, and all united for party harmony at the Republican Dollar Dinner, held last Friday evening at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, which was the largest gathering of Republicans, aside from the State Convention, ever held in the little mountain state. Never perhaps in West Virginia were so many of the leaders and supporters of the Republican organization of statewide prominence gathered under such pleasant and mutually satisfactory conditions. It was remarkable in more than one respect, but it was chiefly distinguished for the spirit of harmony that existed, and the unanimity of sentiment as to the solidarity of the frost to be presented to the common energy in National and State affairs. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Kirk, who introduced Hon. H. C. Ogden as toastmaster of the evening. Mr. Ogden was given an ovation as he rose. Among the speakers were Gov. Glasscook, Dr. Hatfield and Attorney E. J. Graham, Jr., colored, who made one of the happiest speeches of the evening. FILES $5,000 SLANDER SUIT. Suit for $5,000 damages has been instituted in the Supreme Court by James W. Anderson, a member of Mount Glead Baptist Church, against Crawford Griggs, another member of the congregation, charging slander. It is charged by Anderson that on December 18, at 2162 Fifth avenue, the defendant, in the presence of others, referred to him as "an old Baptist grumbbling up people's homes." Griggs is also charged with saying, "He has taken my wife and has broken up my house." The participants of the Church of St. Peter the Apostle will get ready for the great mission which will open on Sunday, February 25, and will last for two weeks. They extend a cordial invitation to their non-Catholic friends to attend the night services of the church, and the course will be given on Catholic doctrines.

Chew, died last Thursday evening at the family residence, 199 Ferry street. He was stricken with paralysis on January 24 while on his way to his office. About two years ago Mr. Chew was injured by a fall and never recovered from the effects of it. The deceased was born in this city sixty-two years ago. For several years he was deputy recorder of deeds in the District of Columbia, under the late Frederick Douglass; he also held a position in the Treasury Department at Washington and was private secretary to Judge Fischer of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. Mr. Chew's residence at Washington began during the reconstruction period and he was an active participant in many of the stirring events of that time. He had a retentive memory, and this with his keen interest in public affairs, made him an instructive and entertaining conversationalist. The funeral was held from the reu- rence Sunday afternoon and was largely attended. The Rev. J. G. Car- lie, assisted by the Rev. J. W. McCoy, performed the funeral service. Sue W. Gibson, J. T. Prke, Robert Wiliams, H. A. Spencey and Ethelbert Evans, Interment was at Oakwood.

WELLS, New York City. ‘The power of co-operation should not only be impressed upon those in New York City who speak of the calamity befallen the colored show business, hut who make no attempt to bring about more beneficial re- sults, which could be done by each person financially interesting himself for a small sum, but throughout the United States. “It seems that with us it is a case of our eyes being wide open, but we are fast asleep. And yet. we have gotten into a habit of daily complaining about the white man making all the money, when we do not take advantage of the oppor- tunities offered us. Similar conditions exist Butside of the theatrical business. There yg races in this country which do not compare with us in individual wealth, but which do less begging for charity than the Negro. Think of how ad- yantagconsly the race could use a fund formed by, say, only one-fourth of the race contributing five cents weekly? Then we could make a de- termined effort to secure all of our political and civil rights, and slurs and insults would be less frequent. Bue Iam again deviating from the realm of the theatre. Let the colored performers and playgoers do less grumbling and appreciate the xreab possibilities within the race; let everybody put aside the spirit of envy and malice which is always assidu- ously at work; let everyone bury the ambition to be a leader. and work for the good of all.

Harriet Tubman'e Mind Clear. “I was cordially greeted by Chaplaim Sait the matroa Mee Setths aed ‘Miss Nesbit, the faithful and onpable purse ef Aunt Harriet. After 3 few interchanges of sentiment I was ush- cred jato the siting soom, where Aust arriet was resting in am rock- ‘ing-chair. Although consideranly ‘ema- ciated from two years’ contimaed ‘ill- coe, she wae much better then T any ‘or the reader must kecp ix nt that Aunt Sart is opproscking the one hundredth milestone, after one of the most tireless, eventful and scif- sacrificing careers known ia history, Her mind was clear, conversational rational, and her hand grasp reminded me of her physical force and vigor thirty years ago. The past rose before me as a dream. I saw her with a large basket on her arm walking three miles to and from town, bearing the necessaries of life to those within her dwelling. Over the protest of colored friends. and, wealthy. white friends also, I saw her peresing Her course of self-denial for years, that she might bring joy to those in despair, and light to those in dark- ness. I saw her pressing on ber way through summer's heat, autumn’s blast, winter's cold, and springtime's drizzling rain. I saw her in the homestead, filled for years with thoughtless indigent young women, and the improvident and helpless aged of both sexes. No night was too dark, or sacrifices too re to relieve those under her care. I foand, that length of years and varied disap- pointments had not changed her implicit pendence in an overruhng Promdcace for the betterment and uplift of the race. When about to comclude eur con- versation, she said: “OF course you are jing to make me 2 Christmas preset”. Fro which | gave an affirmative andwer. Just_before evening prayers she lead in singing an old familiar hymn with a half a dozen iamates.gssisting. Aunt Harriet years ago was quite a singer snd religious enthusiast. As I sat there istening to the touching melody, and watching her in particular, occasion- iy gleams of the great physical en- iggy and extraordinary spiritual power hat characterized her earlier years hown forth. “I was conducted by the Chaplain and tis wife through the home and was fa- orably impressed with the unusual mount of Isbor expended in keeping he establishment so clean and attrac- ive, notwithstanding the limited facil- ties and conveniences.

Abiding to- day in the Institution made possible by her wonderful personality, and in whose name it is to be perpetuated, is the greatest living heroine in America, and one of the greatest of all the centuries, Resting peacefully upon her pillow, her face radiant with hope immortal, as I said good-bye, I saw a noble career clos- ing amid the splendors of a glorious au- tamnal sunset. Aunt Harriet is worthy of the colored women throughout the country, and the Federation of the Em- pire State in particular should see that she does not want for anything. Every dollar thus contributed is welll spent. As an evidence of my appreciation of your splendid efforts on her behalf please accept my check for $1000 handed to the treasurer, Miss Adena C.F.

Mr. McDonald agrees with Mr. De- Cordova that Negroes in Jamaica are ‘prominent in ail walks of jife, but de- clares thal that gentleman has made the mistake of confounding the prosperity of the few with the welfare of the many, and then asks: ‘Who are these men of whom Mr. DeCordova has spoken? His answer is rich men, in some cases learned men, and in most cases men who do not regard themselves as Negroes. Conditions in Jamaica Same ax Other ountrien “I know of no country where there is an equal distribution of its wealth among its inhabitants and where. a gen- gral satisfaction prevails, exceph it be Moore's suggested ‘Ctopia'—some must be rich and others poor.

This statement refutes itself. In the ordinary run of ‘things and according to the principles of clear logic, it seems to me that any honor oF distinction co ferred by higher authorities on a mem- ber or members of a particular rece is a recognition and an admission of its worth which redounds to the credit ef the entire race and enhances its statue as a consequence thereof. “But it appears that the sole griew ance of this gentleman io the questi Of social equality.

Why Weet indians DeNet Remain at Home. “It may be argued since these favor: able conditions exist why don't they re main there and enjoy them instead of migrating to foreign lands? The answer is, the same rule prevails there 29 2 does everywhere else. The average man is ambitious. When he is not secking fame arid fortune he is seeking know edge and experience, and so his inquis- tive nature asserting itself fills him with a desire to know the outside world of which he reads and hears and thus the West Indian, like the Italian, the Ger- man, the Frenchman, the Irishman and American, leaves his native shores and may be found not only in America bot also in all parts of the world. “Mr. McDonald would have us twlieve that the honors are conferred on the favored few, that is, those who bear tig cingular distinction of being mulattec The color of the Assistant Attorney Genera), the newly-appointed Register of the Supreme Court, and that of one of the Resident Magistrates, numcroas Justices of the Peace and’ scores of athers holding high government positions 0 clearly identifies them with the Ne- gro race that the broadest stretch of imagination and the most profound metaphysical reasoning would not lift them even in our minds to the happy nedium—the mulattoes. To be charit- tble then, T must assert that the learned collegian’ is quite unfamiliar with the rue conditions as they exist in Jamaica, and if he claims the contrary he mast he charged with a wholesale departure from the truth. 7 “His citation «from Sidney Oliver's remarks in support of his contention ‘ontradicts rather than supports it. Here tis. ‘The white Jamaican, whether fof- ign nr Creole, has a prejudice which carcely to be differentiated from that of the American Negro. But it is a prt: indice operative only in so far as tbe ‘olored man is individually inferior t he white man in capacity and achier=™ nent. The latter being equal, howevet, or regarded as equal they meet upot erms of apparent equality.” Manifestty his statement favors the Negro, for # ndicates that 30 ong as he is respet: ble and is able to measure strides with he white man his color is not a bar he enjoyment of the privileges anil hoe rs accnrded his white brother.
