THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME III. True Old-Fashioned Style 3,000 People HONOR THE FRIENDS OF Liberty and Justice--Was One of the Grandest Affairs Ever Witnessed in Era the History of the County--Music, Song and Oratory Tell the Story of a Patriotic Gathering. The annual celebration of the colored people of Graham and adjoining counties was held August 1, at Scruggs' grove near the village of Nicodemus on the border of Graham and Rooks counties in the Western part of this state. Nicodemus is the center of a large and prosperous settlement of colored people who emigrated from Kentucky and Mississippi twenty years ago. The settlement is very prosperous and these people made no mistake when they went out on the Western prairies to carve homes for themselves and their families, far away from the "maddening crowd" of the lar- cities. This celebration has been regularly observed at Nicodemus for many years, and while the crowd was not so large as usual, there was plenty of music and an excellent program. Sometimes the assemblage will contain six, eight and ten thousand people, but various reasons kept many people away this year so that perhaps three thousand were in attendance. Geo. W. Jones, a lawyer of considerable note in the West, was the master of ceremonies and opened the program with some very spicy and appropriate remarks. The Hill City Cornet Band furnished music for the occasion, and daughters of prominent citizens executed some charming vocal selections. Hon. B. H. Tracy who was to appear as the principal speaker, was unavoidably absent and his place was filled by John S. Dawson, of Hill City, who has a position at present with the State Treasurer at Topeka. Mr. Dawson has frequently addressed these people at prior celebrations, but his effort on this occasion was fully the equal of his previous ones. Mr. Dawson has been quite a student of sociological problems and has a wide knowledge of history which he introduces with excellent taste into his addresses. He paid just and generous tribute to the great and good women of Great Britain and America who had helped rid the world of slavery. Wilberforce, Fox, Pitt, Burke and Clarkson, of Britain, and Garrison, Phillips, Mrs. Stowe, John Brown and Abraham Lincoln were all remembered in glowing terms. Nor were the veterans of the Civil War forgotten and his eulogium of the Black Phalanx of the G. A. R. evoked the wildest enthusiasm. Mr. Dawson closed his remarks with some valuable suggestions of a practical nature which were much appreciated. Assistant State Superintendent, D. W. Little who was visiting normal institutes in the West, had arranged his dates to take in the celebration and made an excellent extemporaneous address. He discussed several thoughtful ideas on the race problem and showed himself to be a profound and logical thinker, and his speech was one of the hits of the day. Judge A. B Head, of Salina, was also listened to with attention and made a commendable speech. His remarks were both witty and wise. A young colored man from Hill City, a Mr. Fred Douglas, whose name had not appeared on the program was next introduced and made a remarkable address. The audience was surprised and pleased, and this second Douglas is no disgrace to his mighty namesake of the famous days of old. Then the program concluded by a flag drill by the children of the neighborhood which caught the crowd. The children were cheered to the echo. All together the day's festivities were a greet success and mark another of the interesting occasions which have made the first of August a great day in Western Kansas. NOTES OF THE DAY. two merry-go-rounds did a thriv- ing business from early morn 'till dewy eve. The number of takirs showed a falling off from former years; the strong arm of the law having given it out flat and cold, that nothing out of harmony with the proprieties of the day would be tolerated. The whites always turn out in greater numbers than the colored people and this year was no exception in this respect. The colored people of Graham County have always been a political factor in that county. E. P. Mc Cabe was the first county clerk of the county, and was elected auditor of the state while holding the former office. J. R. Hawkins was for many years clerk of the district court. Daniel Hickmon was county commissioner for eight years. J. E. Porter was a county officer for four years, then jentered the University of Chicago. He is now a practicing physician in St. Paul. George W. Jones was county attorney for four years. He was succeeded by the present county attorney, W. L. Sayers, who has just closed five years of official charge of the office of clerk of the court. Jones and Sayers are the only populist lawyers in the county, and their rivalties are good-natured but highly entertaining. Sayers belongs to the Kentucky crowd while Jones is a Mississippiian. It is to be regretted that the young people of the settlement, instead of remaining on the farm and settling down beside their parents, find more inducements to drift into the large cities. It would seem that the free life of the praries would impell them to stay in the country. The population of this county is rapidly increasing, but young colored people usually spread their wings and fly to the crowded districts of Eastern Kansas and Missouri, or out to Denver and the Rockies. If this unwise policy is not stopped, the importance of Nicodemus as a factor in Graham County is sure to abate. How any young man can abandon the independent life of the ranch and the farm, for the crowded city does not appear. The wheat crop around Nicodemus was very bountiful, although the corn crop has been cut short by the drought. Nevertheless the settlers are in the main prosperous. Good houses and barns are rapidly displacing the sod shanties of the past. Graham county is certainly the best poor man's country to be found within the limits of the land. THE PASSING Of an Old Land Mark in Kansas City Missouri—Was Once Prominent in the Politics of That State Samuel R. Jordan, a well known colored man of this city, died Tuesday at his home, 1112 Campbell street, from old age. He had lived in Kansas City thirty-five years and was 75 years of age. At one time he was quite a political power among the Negroes and one of the hose reels of the fire department now bears his name. He was born in Richmond, Va., and in the old steamboat days came West. He plied his trade as a barber on the Mississippi river between St. Louis and New Orleans. He opened the O. K. barber shop on West Fifth street, coming here from Leavenworth, where he owned a shop in the old Planters' hotel. A wife and eight children survive him. Leon Jordan, the oldest son, is a lieutenant in the Forty-ninth in fantasy, and has just returned from the Philipine islands. The funeral ear vices will be held at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon from the St. Augustine Mission, Tenth and Troost avenue.—Kansas City Star. Mr. Jordan was one of the wealthiest men in Kansas City. He came there a poor man, and by thrift and industry he accumulated quite a fortune. He was a benefactor of his people in the community. He always cared for those who were needy, and the hungry never was turned away until he supplied their wants. If our young men will only rustle half as much as Mr. Jordan did from fifty years to the time of his death, they would go a long ways toward solving our problem. He was always courteous, polite and kind to all he met and he had but few enemies, if any. Peace to his ashes: TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 9, 1901. FINDS RELATIVES AFTER FORTY YEARS SEPARATION. ONE of the strange, pathetic echoes which have been heard at intervals throughout the United States since the days of '65, found a lodging place in the town of Brooklyn, St. Clair County, Ill., yesterday. It is the story of an old slave who bore heavy burdens in the days that lie back of the "Emancipation Proclamation," and survived them. Allen Gaston is the name of the man who has known the the two widely different epochs in the history of his race, a man who, both bond and free, has lived to tell a tale which contains all the realism of Mrs. Stowe's famous work, with the tract like qualities left out. It is a plain story of long suffering and final rejoicing, and deep human interest. Yesterday was a gala day among the residents of Brooklyn for one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens, Allen Gaston, was undertaking a visit to Cincinnati, Ohio, to become one in a family reunion of a group who separated under tragic circumstances just forty years ago and the members of which have never seen each other since. The best citizens turned out in a body to see him take the train; a brass band added its notes to the chorus of joy and congratulation; every one was happy. It was the celebration of the discovery that the glitter of a romantic story was, for once, pure gold. Gaston's story, as told by himself, is as follows: Just forty years ago, Allen Gaston, then thirty years of age, with his brothers and sisters, who were children, and his own young wife, were brought to Louisville, Ky., to be sold to the highest bidder. Gaston he was called, but this was because his master's name was Gaston. He did not even possess a name of his own. He had only the human relations who were dear to him—sisters and brothers and wife, and these were in danger of being severed from him. Slaves who were sold on the block were not sold by the family. He lived on the Gaston farm with his relatives, including an aged father and mother, until April, when the war broke out. It was then that his master, fearful that he would lose his slave property, took the group to Louisville for the purpose of putting them up for sale on the same spot where many horses and mules, brought from the interior of the state, had been sold earlier in the day, just as the human stoek was to be sold—to the highest bidder, Gaston, the master, lived about twenty miles from Louisville, and at the breaking out of the war, decided to move elsewhere. Hence the sale. When the white Gaston and the colored Gastons approached the city on the day of the sale they stopped for refreshments. The slaveowner knew the value of well-kept property, and, in addition to food liberal decoctions of whisky were offered. A cheerful "nigger" sold at a higher price than one who was sullen. Allen Gaston, however, refused to drink. He felt that he was on the verge of a terrible tragedy. Instinct told him that some of his little group might be sold "down the river," to be lost from him forever in the, immense plantations about New Orleans. Others might go to points far distant. At any rate, they were probably on the eve of an eternal parting. He determined to do all in his power to prevent such a catastrophe. He would remain sober, and if his own ingenuity could effect it, he and the woman to whom he had been married under the custom of the time, with the children who were their all and all, should be kept together. His refusal to drink resulted in punishment. He was whipped until he consented to imbibe the liquor which would make him indifferent to subsequent proceedings. The party arrived at the market early in the afternoon, and in less than half an hour Gaston was compelled to mount the block. Presumptuous beyond his kind, he made an appeal to the bidders not to buy him, unless all the members of the family were "struck off" together to the same master. His humane appeal was ridiculed by the crowd, and some one commanded him to be silent. When he continued his appeal he was taken from the block and horsewhipped again. Gaston was finally 'knocked down' to a man named Ramsey, a regular trader. He was jerked from the block, and while his family begged for a last embrace, was hauled away and placed in a kind of stockade. His life after leaving the block was one of adventure. Upon losing sight of all he held dear, he resolved to make every effort to regain his freedom, in the hope of again finding his family. The next incident of his career was when, after being carted to the house of a man named Jones, he learned that war had broken out between the North and South, and that all the planters were in fear of losing their slave property. He again had visions of freedom, and the joy of being reunited with his family. Under the new master, Jones, Gaston was given the hardest kind of labor. But there soon came another change. This master, too, was afraid of having too much capital invested in stocks that were in danger of going down to nothing, and again the illfated slave was sold. His next surroundings were those of a brickyard at Covington, Ky. Here he formed the acquaintance of another slave who had been sold from a farm adjoining the Gaston place. A friendship ripened and the two planned to escape. That night, when the human stock were through with their work, they were locked in a stockdae and told that if any of them attempted to get away there would be bullets to follow. One side of the house faced the broad Ohio, almost overhanging it. A desperate jump from the roof which could be gained from the window would land a man in the strong current, where he might have a slight chance to get away, provided he was strong enough. The two friends decided to make the leap. They made a compact that if either lived to find freedom, that one was to do what he could toward securing the freedom of the other's family. The leap was made. Gaston came to the surface of the water and struck for the opposite shore. His companion he never saw again. The one survivor reached the opposite shore in safety, and hid in the bushes that lined the waterway. By degrees he reached the house of a Northern sympathizer who shielded him as long as he cared to remain. He feared that he might be found, however, and for months lived in caves and fields, hiding from human sight. Ultimatelyhe reached Brooklyn which was then a "free" town, through the assistance of a number of white men. Here a new life began for him. After the war he became a citizen of high standing and was elected to all the offices of the place. Now he was mayor, again a member of the board of education, and later town trustee. He did much to increase his education and passed into another phase of life. The past was like a hideous dream. The one thing that had brightened it was a bitter reflection for years, for he had no means of finding out where his beloved ones were. The years seem to have brought healing. In the course of time he was again married and another family grew up about him. His sons became strong men in the village affairs and a daughter married the mayor of the town. A letter addressed to Gaston a few days ago, carried him back forty years to the things of his past life. The letter was signed by one Morgan, who stated that he was the son of a man who, with Gaston, had leaped for life into the Ohio in the early 60s. Morgan, the brickyard companion of Gaston, had escaped and had, after the war, married Gaston's sister. The writer was, in consequence, a nephew of Gaston's, and informed him of the whereabouts of all the group that had been sold to BENTILLMAN.

MEETING The Grand Lodge of the Kingdoms of Pythias and Court of Calanthe are Holding an Interesting Session in Lawrence. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias convened with Western Star Lodge No 1 of Lawrence on Wednesday, August 7, for a three day's session. The welcome address was made by Congressman J. S. Bowersock of the 2nd Congressional District and was fittingly responded to by Prof. R. H. Wade of Topeka. The work of the Grand Lodge was taken up in earnest and disposed of in a business like manner. Grand Chancellor Jno. E. Lewis presented an able report of his work during the year and made many suggestions for the benefit of the fraternity. The Knights of Pythias is one of the latest orders in Kansas, among our people and has grown with surprising rapidity. Reports show a healthy growth both financially and materially. The subordinate lodges all reported an increase of members and an improvement in finance.

Tillman of South Carolina, during a discussion in Marquett, Wisconsin, of the race question from a Southern standpoint justified lynching. "In Wisconsin you have 5,000 black men," said he. "Why don't you try the bleaching process and try to exterminate them by intermarrying? The idea is repugnant to you. In South Carolina we have three-quarter million blacks and 550,000 whites. The 'carpetbaggers', the 'niggers' and the Southern scalawags and scoundrels ruled us after the war, until they had stolen every thing that there was in the state, then we went with our shotguns to the polls and took it away from them. All men are not created equal, and the 'niggers' are not fit to vote. Come what may, the white people of the South will govern their own country." He condemned Booker T. Washington's scheme to educate the Negro along industrial lines, as an attempt to place him on an equality with the white artisans, something that would intensify race hatred in the South. He said that among the four million of slaves during the rebellion, there were more Christains than there are to-day among the nine million blacks in the South. "I do not want to uphold slavery," he continued. "I thank God there are no slaves today under the stars and stripes." Mr. Tillman made an eloquent plea in justification of lynching, saying that Southern women could not be brought into court to testify to their degradation before a jury for the purpose of convicting a beast. His reference to the sanctity of the Southern household and the Southern women and his remarks on lynching were heartily applauded. He closed with an impassioned statement to the effect that the white people of the South would remain on top "in spite of the devil," and if necessary, he and his brethren were ready to take down their shot guns again. A press dispatch from Carrollton, Miss., says: "The brutal murder of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Tiliferro, on the night of July 30, led tonight to the lynching of Betsie McCary, her son, Belfield McCary, and her daughter, Ida McCary, all colored. "A mob composed of about 500 white citizens of Carroll county men of the state. Among its leading men will be found Dr. S. H. Thompson of Kansas City, J. H. Phelps, A. T. Glover, P. H.

Ida McCray confessed knowledge of the murder and stated that her mother Betsie, and her brother Belfield helped her to commit the crime. She further implicated others, who will probably meet a like fate. Betsie McCray refused to make any statement. " _____ Old one-eyed Ben seems to have a grudge against the colored people, and how a man who has nursed the breast of a colored women could come to hate them, is very strange indeed. He has robbed the colored people of their labor since emancipation, and is now busy belching forth his idiotic thoughts, trying to prejudice fair minded people against them. During the war this monster was nothing more or less than a patroler. He has made his disreptuable standing by abusing them. He has made his wealth by working them on his farm at starvation wages, and now he abuses those who made him. It is a great pity that his colored "mamies" milk did not kill bim when he was a child. Let our Republican congressmen act at the next session and do less talking. We have both houses and the president, and we should do something to prove worthy of being called the party of humanity. The lynching of colored women and children in Mississippi last week was an outrage and a blot upon American civilization, and so long as our men are cowards and show no defense, so long will these outrages continue.

A 15-YEAR-OLD COLORED Boy is Tortured and Otherwise Brutally Treated at the Hutchison Reformatory-Governor banley should Investigate and See That Good People are Placed in Charge. Little Robert McClain, a motherless boy of fifteen years died last week at the home of his father on Washington street. A tew days ago his father received a telegram from the Hutchinson Retormatory stating that his boy was on the verge of death, and what should be done with him? He answered them to send him home and the neighbors who attended him say that several sores were upon his body, that he was weak and exhausted from starvation, beating and other cruel treatment. The boy said on his death bed that it was a horrible place, that the officers were cruel, heartless and inhuman, and that he was sick three months and during the first of his illness he was put into the dungeon and made to live upon bread and water, after which he was placed into the "sweat-box," another place of torture, and kept several hours. If the above is true, then what are the people to expect of officers who are entrusted to the keeping of children placed in their care tor reformation? These children are sent to such places to be made better, and not to be treated like brutes—whipped unmerciully, tortured with everything that is inhuman. Are the men in charge of this reformatory unmindful of the fact that these young people are not hardened criminals and should not be treated as such. We hope Gov. Stanley will investigate the working of this institution more thoroughly and if he finds that these outrages are carried on to reform young boys, oust the last one from office. It does no good to almost kill and then try to reform; it has to be done with kindness, endurance, care and painstaking and not with the cudgel and starving method. Let men who are employed have good common horse sense and not be bulldozing idiots. IN ATCHISON SOCIETY. The swellest Afair of the Season Was the Party Given by Mr. and Mrs. Garner. The all absorbent conversation of the hour is the swirl party given by Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Garner of this city to their daughter Miss Leila Garner of Kansas City, Mo. at the beautiful Forest Park, Wednesday evening, July 31. Invitations were issued to one-hundred of our best citizens and all responded, the majority in full dress suits. At 8.30 p.m. this element of pleasure seekers were conveyed on trolley party cars, illuminated with varied colored lights, to the park, where they also found the gentlemanly Mr. Garner had the park and pavilion brilliantly lighted; even the park lake circuit was on. At the entrance of the pavilion Miss Garner occupied a throne like position richly decorated and with very becoming smiles. She was, by the genial Senator Brown, Master of ceremonies, introduced to the happy bevy of invited guests as they filled in by Her Honor's royal elevation. All eyes next sparklingly riveted toward the rostrum for to their increasing delight they saw a great evening before them. There was Prof. Dardis' orchestra of five professional musicians with the renowned violinist, Frank Martin, as leader. The guests vied with each other in expressing their high gratification. The orchestra broke loose with a rich march that set every heart ageing when the grand march was announced. This was lead by the Prince of Fashion, Mr. Edward of Boston, accompanied by Miss Myrle Pennel. He introduced several new features and was followed immediately by Mr. and Miss Garner. Several white people were permitted to take seats in the pavilion and some of the wealthiest in the city took advantage of the opportunity. They got their treat for the colored people danced some up to date dances that they are not familiar with, and too, the grand square without having the figure called. Internission came at 11:30 when after a tenor solo by Senator Brown and a speech on the occasion by Dr. W. H. Hudson, a repast was served. At 1:20 a.m. the orchestra struck "Home Sweet Home" and while every one would have gladly indulged to a later hour, they with smiling regrets, bowed to the program, thus closing one of the grand-eat banquets we can recall. Mr. and Mrs. Garner reside at 421, Commercial St. Miss Garner returned to her home in Kansas City, Mo. Wednesday throwing many bouquets to the good people of Atchison and to her beloved parents. Come again Miss Garner; we will take you in charge altogether next time. --- PUBLISHED at Topeka, Shawnee county, Kk., every Friday morning by the Plaunealer Publishing Co., 114 E 7th st.

FRIDAY, AUG. 9, 1901 South Carolina is the only state having a pitchfork freak. The open and avowed intention of the Southern States is to disfranchise the Negro because of his color. Educational reports from the South indicate that Negro illiteracy is more rapidly dissapearing than white illiteracy. Will Governor Stanley appoint a Negro on the St. Louis Exposition Commission? We don't know. If the South will base the suffrage qualifications on an educational and property basis, allowing it to effect all classes alike, the Negro will meet the most stringent requirements. No government has need to fear the intelligent voter. The Negro is becoming the intelligent voter of the South, despite the vehement opposition of constitution nullifiers like Tillman and his ilk. Hon. G. W. Martin, secretary of the Historical society is going to see if life is worth living. Our cards will be out soon announcing his marriage to a widow in Topeka. He is getting younger in his old days. A few lessons from Cupid might kindle the fire anew. There is no telling what the tree might bear. Hon. J. E. Latimer, of the state library, is in Pleasanton this week seeing about The Herald, on which he holds a mortgage to the amount of $800 and a little "clique" down there were trying to get the best of him. However, he has things in working order and "she'll run as long as he has a dollar invested." You can't steal a march on a good man and' Gene is one of them. There is a growing disposition to halt "keg parties" in various families around town, much to the annoyance and disgust of the better class of our people. It should be stopped and the only way to do it is for the better element of our people to demand that these disreputable affairs be stopped. Several cutting affairs have occurred during the past few weeks and they are on the increase. This week we received from our old printer friend, Col. Will Harris, who is now on The Indianapolis World, a copy of the Afro-American Business Directory and Review. It is a very beautiful publication and tells how the colored people cf the Hoosier state are progressing in the business world. Typographically it is one of the neatest things that has come to our notice in a long time, and shows that merit and artistic taste seldom found in a Negro printer. Mr. Geo. G. Simmons, the man who did the work should feel very proud, as it proves him to be a printer of the highest class. Here's luck to you, "old man." The great Louisiana Purchase Exposition will be held in St. NFGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT. The Maryland Democrats, in, their state convention this week were more candid in their discussion of the "race question" than are the Virginia and Alabama constitutional conventions now in session. In Virginia the suffrage is being regulated on the ground that the colored voters are unfit for the franchise, and in Alabama the Democratic state convention pledged the party to deprive all Negroes of the right to vote without depriving any of the whites, on the ground that in the absence of such a safeguard Negroes will control the politics of the state. The fact that for years the Democrats have done the counting and returning of elections and have suppressed the Negro vote in Alabama has no effect on the apparent seriousness with which "Negro supremacy" is discussed as a point of peril to be escaped at all hazards. The Maryland Democrats while not submitting it in so many words plainly intimate that the reason why Negro suffrage must be abolished in that state is because such action will inure to the injury of the Republican party and to the advantage of the Democracy. In their convention platform they declare that: "The Democratic party represents more than 40,000 majority of the white people of Maryland. They, in common with their brethren of other states in which large masses of Colored voters have been injected into the body politic, recognize that peace, good order, personal safety and proper development of our material interests depend upon the control of the commonwealth by its intelligent white residents. Without the aid of the 60,000 colored voters the Republican party in Maryland would be a houlegess minority. "We therefore without hesitation proclaim that the success of the Democratic party will mean that while we shall deal with perfect fairness in securing all the benefits of good government and full and free opportunities for education to all classes, such action must be taken as to prevent the control of the state government from passing into the hands of those who have neither the ability nor the interest to manage public affairs wisely and well." The milk in this cocoanut is in the statement that "without the aid of the 60,000 colored voters the Republican party in Maryland would be a hopeless minority. "We therefore without hesitation," etc. The Democrats are making a grand stand play before the country as the relentless enemy of ignorance and illiteracy in the suffrage, but there are several things they neglect to explain. In New York city, for example, the Democratic party is generally busy cultivating the illiterate element on which it depends for its control of that city. In Alabama the new census returns show that in ten years the gain of literates in the voting population has been 8.1 per cent, of which 2.1 per cent is white and no less than 6 per cent is colored. The colored people of Alabama seem to be learning to read and write three times as fast as the ignorant whites. Democratic cant against illiteracy and in favor of a clean and high-toned suffrage leaves the same bad taste in the peoples' mouth as the similar cant last fall in favor of self-government in the Philippines, while in the South self-government had no existence.—Topeka Daily Capital.

IN appointing three colored soldiers to high commissions in the regular army, President McKinley may have had in mind the suggestion made in 1863 by Lincoln to the first free state government of Lousiana respecting the offer of the franchise to Negroes. "They will probably help, in some trying time to come," wrote the great emancipator, "to keep the jewel of liberty in the family of freedom." The colored soldiers justified this prediction by their valiant fighting in Cuba and the Philippines. Education in Alabama. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON is jubilant over the educational showing of Alabama in the census returns. That state has gained 8.1 per cent, in literacy, which is not surprising in view of the great progress it has made in industrial development; but what especially pleases Mr. Washington is the discovery that the colored voting population has gained 7.3 per cent in educational progress, while the whites have advanced only 2.1 per cent. This seems to speak well for the future of the colored race. A Southern Woman's Appeal. From The Tropical Bay Capital MISS FRANCIS GRIFFIN, of Alabama, in a recent address before the constitutional convention of that state in favor of the ballot for educated and tax paying women, used one quaint and novel argument which called out great applause, not only from the ladies who crowded the gallery, but from the members of the convention. After advocating the franchise for women upon general grounds, this gifted daughter of Alabama said in conclusion: "I have not discussed the color question, because for a long time the darkeys and we stood by each other. You know there was a time when criminals, the insane people, traitors, idiots, Negroes and women were not allowed to vote. Now I understand that my gardener is going to be disfranchised. He has been the only thing that represented us at the polls. I live in a household of women, of educated women. My sisters are widows, and I am an old maid. There is not a man on the face of the earth interested particularly in how the affairs of our household go. We have no more voice in that neighborhood than if we were a party of Americans set down in Russia. There is a Negro gardener who works in our field, who is hosler and major domo. He was a little over 21 when he came to us. He said he had been at school ten years, and he was at the first page of the second reader, but when the voting time came, he went over to a village and did the voting for our family. And now, as you are taking that one prop from under us, we ask you at least to give us his leavings." The Negro as a Soldier. THE mustering out this month of two Negro volunteer regiments after nearly two years of creditable service in the Phillipines, and the recent appointment of three colored men as officers in the enlarged regular army, have again called public attention to the Negro as a soldier. Sufficient praise has not, however, been accorded to the President for appointing these men, or to the army examining boards, which found two of them qualified for promotion from the ranks, and recommended them for advancement, in spite of the prejudice existing in the army against the Negro officer. That the colored soldiers have fairly earned this representation among the commissioned ranks by brave work before Santiago and in the Phillippines, does not detract from the merit of the action. The sad experiences of Cadet Whittaker and of ex-Lieutenant Flipper in the eighties, and the difficulty of adjusting the relations of white and Negro officers within the same garrison without injury to discipline or substantial injustice, would have been quite sufficient excuse for a Secretary of War or a President who wished to shirk his duty. Hitherto such colored officers as have been in the army were lieutenants in Negro regiments, and therefore the subordinates of nearly all the white officers and unlikely to exercise command over them. But now that the one colored officer who has been in the army during the last few years has risen to be an extremely efficient captain of cavalry, and a colored man has been appointed a major in the pay department, a genuine test of the discipline of the army is at hand. The same favorable testimony has long come from the regular army. Excellence in drill, pride in the service, passionate devotion to just officers and of officers to them, contentedness and happy endurance—these are to be found in the Negro regular, as well as in the volunteer. For years the colored regiments, and particularly the Ninth cavalry, stood at the head of the army in the Inspector General's reports, being especially distinguished for their few desertions. As brave soldiers the colored Americans won their spurs the day Shaw died on Wagner's walls to be "buried among his niggers." Their valorous conduct at Santi-go was but a repetition of Civil war and Indian campaign achievements, even when their beloved white officers were shot down and they went ahead under their sturdy sergeants—with their eyes to the front. Minnesota on the Color Question. From The Topeka Daily Capital PROMIENT in all the clubs is the "color line" question; those who have settled it to accord with their own view points are still anxiously on the lookout for similar contrary decisions in their sister societies. It is needless to recount here the facts of the case; they are intimately known to every club woman in the land. To outsiders the details and "in and outs" may not be so well known, but there is a habit among most of them of keeping posted on "general results" and when these are achieved on a broad and conscientious plane the audience is pleased to express applause. Although the attitude of one club may in the matter of withdrawing from the federation be the exact opposite of that of a near neighbor, the position of each may be in the minds of the above mentioned outsiders understood and likewise approved, if the underlying reasons are but built on generous lines. By a vote of 42 to 18, and after a contest lasting several hours, the New Central club, one of the leading woman's clubs of St. Paul, adopted a resolution "protesting against any color line in the Minnesota State federation, and desiring the conditions of membership to remain as at present—intellectual and moral fitness." The color question has been agitating the State Federation of Woman's clubs for a long time. A few weeks ago a club composed of colored women applied to Mrs. Julia S. Williams of Minneapolis, the president of the State federation, for admission to that body. Mrs. William was inclined to take the responsibility of admitting them, and therefore officially requested opinions from all clubs in her jurisdiction. The action of the New Century club is the first that has been taken, and it has been held by some to be an indication that no color line will be drawn in Minnesota. However, the members of the club who opposed the resolution maintained that the sixty members who voted upon the subject do not constitute a majority of the club, and that the question may be reconsidered at a subsequent meeting. ...CHEAP...

Meigs, but chiefly at Tuskegee, that institution which serves as a model to the others. When she first entered the far South and sawso many little one-roomed hovels, and also so many slouchy Negro boys idling around railway stations, she wondered whether the colored race is rising. But answer was made by these schools with their bright-eyed, intelligent, earnest, tidy respectful pupils, and the improved appearance of whole communities that were touched by them. Some of the earlier schuols pushed academ- ic education too fast, but the practi- cal kind is now given precedence. Every pupil labors two hours a day at Tuskegee and many work their way through the school. The appre- ciation of industrial education is proven in the North by constantly increased aftendance at agricultural schools and it is proven most strong- ly in the South at Mountevallo, Ala., a state technical school for white girls, and by other flourishing insti- tutions of the same class, It is said that no other area devastated by war was so large as that in the southern states. Money gone, build- ings destroyed, slaves free, ruin every where. The Negro had mus- cle only, the white man didnot have that. These things should be con- sidered in estimating progress in tho South, and we should be liberal of encouragement and help.
