TOPEKA, KAS., MAY 2, 1899 HON. JOHN J. INGALLS, Washington, D. C., MY DEAR FRIEND INGALLS; I read your letter on the "African" or "Colored Man in the South," published in last night's Journal, as copied from the New York Journal, and I was very much interested in it. It was distinctively yours. No one could mistake it. While I agree with you in many particulars on the Negro question in the South, yet there are some features of your views that are anomolous. You seem to argue to both audiences, which I think is not quite becoming to you, or consistent with your past well defined position on this question. Did the doubtfulness of the truth of the pretentions of the Southern outrages of the black man ever occur to you? It not, permit me to call your attention to the fact that there are upwards of fifty thousand colored people in Kansas, and estimated over one hundred thousand Dear Capt.

That is than the Guinea Colonists who liberties from is only one war his rights in is to fight for chatter cant in Missouri, and fully twenty thousand in Nebraska, and over one million scattered West of the Alleghenies, and yet we never hear of their committing such abominable outrages on white women as are reported in the South. If they are so brutally passionate in the South, why do they so well control themselves in the West and North? We never hear of their perpetrating these kinds of outrages in the Northern states. This raises the question of doubt as to the truth of the charges against them in the South, and leads one to believe they are largely pretenses of the Southern mauraders and murderers, to justify their brutal lynchings and outrages. Again, at the close of the rebellion there were about four million of the colored people in the United States. Now, it is estimated there are over eight million in the United States, and increasing with great multiplicity. I am informed by Maj. Shockley, Jr., who was major of one of the Mo. colored regiments, in the late Spanish American war, that he saw a prominent friend of the colored people, who went to where they were located in Ga., to bring about thirty of them, his friends and relatives, out of that deploreable region: he had bouhgt tickets for them, when he was arrested for not having taken out an emigration licence and he was fined $500.00 and costs, and imprisoned until the fine and costs were paid. This prevented him from taking his A FAC SIMILE OF A LETTER WRITTEN TO HON. P. H. CONEY BY THE LATE JNO. J. INGALLS. I understand that this condition prevails throughout the South. They will not allow the colored people to be taken from them, nor will they permit them to vote, or give them industry by which they can make an independent living. In brief, they deny them the right to emigrate, or to live among them in peace and obtain a livelihood, or suitable education. Thus, it becomes a matter of their extermination on the part of the white dictators in the South. This condition is far worse than slavery was. This condition is worse than the conditions were in Cuba before the Spanish war, or in the Philippines before the war of conquest and acquisition began there. Don't you think it would be more humane for us, as a nation, to suppress the brutalities and outrages committed at home on humanity, before longer contending to extend our humanity and liberty to the people of the Philippines, struggling for independence? Don't you think it would be more appropriate to pluck the beam out of our own eye, before taking the mote out of other people's eyes? Would it not be more proper for us to clean our own yard, before calling attention to our neighbor's yard? Should not the white man bear his own burden instead of compelling the black man to bear it?

Is not the bearing of the white man's burden, the bearing of his crimes and outrages?

Should we not stop the perpetrating of outrages at home before enacting greater outrages abroad? I have made these comments to simply draw to your keen analytical mind, the thoughts that are vibrating through the minds of the masses, and particularly of the loyal people of this nation, West and North, as to the conduct of the Southern people towards their former slaves, and those born since the war. The black man is with us. We must either bear him and provide for him and make him a better citizen, or exterminate him. Which shall it be?

We should not act or express ourselves to inflict burdens or injury up on another, unless it be for the betterment of all mankind. Why does not our President exercise his power to right these wrongs inflicted upon the black man, who has equal citizen's rights with himself? Why should he go coquetting with the old slave holders—the would-be nation's destroyers, the ex-Confederates, former Rebels, oblivious of the wrongs they are perpetrating on official citizens and others in the immeate vicinity where he was junketting and banqueting among the former traitors, who still adhere to their treasonable convictions? Has he forgotten that wrong is never right, and right is never wr. ng? Has he forgotten that treason is odious, and that he who died as a traitor can never be adorned with the filigres for patriots?

I desire to call your attention to a repeated erroneous statement that you are given to making, in calling us an Anglo-Saxon nation. This is discreditable to your erudition: you are either forgetful of history, or you are malignantly profaning and blaspheming history and facts. I cannot believe that you are doing the latter, and therefore am constrained to believe it is the former. "Anglo-Saxon" is a mongrel, hyphenated phrase. There is no foundation for it. If there ever was such a designated tribe, clan or race, it is infinitesimal to our civilization, and contributes a more infinitesimal part in the construction of our civilization. Sir Matthew Arnold in an able lecture before Oxford students and others declared that Anglo-Saxonism in England was infinitesmal, and could be confined to a very narrow, short street in the city of London. Great Britain is not "Anglo-Saxon," neither is it Saxon or Angle, separately or jointly. Great Britain is a mongrel nation, composed of Celts, Teutons, Danes, Latins, Normans, Scandinavian or Norman and African, etc., etc, the Celtic predominating there as here. This country is practically and specifically more Celtic and Teutonic than anything else. It is estimated upon accurate census, that there are over twenty-five millions of Teutons and their descent in this country, and some twenty-five millions of Celts and their descent, the balance of the population being divided between the Latin races, the African and Indian, etc. The alleged "Anglo Saxon" being less than one seventh of our population, in order to ascertain who they are it must be strained through a fine analyzing test meter. I simply call ```markdown ``` [Name] HON. P. H. CONEY. your attention to this in order to correct a grave error that is not complimentary to your reputation.

And I call the Jaxon nation for nature ideas, including liberty, home rule permanently are Angles in one Angles nation everywhere the form some blood like will Scandinavians. This Anglo-maniac blanketing of Americans as of "Anglo-Saxon" origin, is not only abominable, but detestable. We are practically Americans, heterogeneous and cosmopolitan. The basic of our civilization is more Celtic than anything else, and next to this is the Teutonic. Even a greater part of the Mayflower stock and Pilgrims were Celtic, and two-thirds of the New England settlement were Celtic. Over one half of Washington's army were Irish. Now, in God's name, where do THE LATE JOHN J. INGALLS you get your Anglo-Saxonism in our civilization? It is a blasphemous assumption, of mongrel conception and dastardly adoption, that will never be accepted or tolerated in this land. Why insult the great German, Irish, French, African and our other racial populations here by denominating them as "Anglo-Saxona, which they contemptuously resent. We speak what is called English, but is not English, nor is it "Anglo- Saxon. It is a mongrel language, more Latin, Greek and Hebrew than anything else. Why insult the greater part of our population to gratify English domination. Let us be Americans; call ourselves Americans; live Americans; act Americans; fight as Americans and die as Americans.

P.S. Another thought: The war on the Filipinos is to subject them to our domination, because of our obligation to property and commercial rights and interests, and domestic happiness and civilization of all parties concerned, having destroyed the former government of their protection. For this identical reason, far more obligated were we, and are we, to the former slaves, and their descendants to protect them from despoilation by their former masters and enemies in the South or elsewhere, with whom they are not by reason of their poverty and lack of education, now capable of coping. They were deprived by our action of the care and protection due from their owners and former masters to them, as chattels and it was and is obligatory upon us, in the name of humanity, civilization and liberty, to provide for them equal opportunities in the pursuit of life and its destinies, and protection in achieving it, within the confines of right and decency, so that they shall only bear equally with us the burdens and equally enjoy the blessings of life.

The Colts are a generous, in patience attack. But they have always been the champions of cost canes. Historically, they have failed. And they have no strength nor except as they have become assimilated with the Anglo-Japanese white ideas into this country, and are destined to rule the world. It makes no difference, where a man was beaten or torn, the instant he themes an American citizen he is an Anglo-Japan." The shall trade a thousand. Our two shall put ten thousand to flight. Twice has the President of these United States been called upon publically to define his position on the color question, and twice has he done so in a manner calculated to silence all speculation as to his attitude upon that much mooted question. His recent act in refusing to accept the resignation which Mrs. Minnie Cox, postmistress at Indianola, Miss., tendered him because of threats of a violent nature, even to the taking of her life, having been made against her by the Negro-hating white element of that vicinity whose objection to her tenure in office is based, solely, upon the fact that she is a Negro, the discon tinuance by him of the postoffice at that place rather than accede to the demands of the brutal element for her removal from office, is scarcely less significant as touching the status of the Negro in this country than Abraham Lincoln's immortal Emancipation Proclamation itself. "The report of the postoffice inspectors who investigated the office from time to time show that Mrs. Cox has given the utmost satisfaction to all the patrons of the office, that she is at all times courteous, faithful, competent and honest in the discharge of her duties. Her moral standing in the community is of the highest; her reputation is of the best. Few offices of this grade in any state graces are in the stories deay. The Colts are impulse attack.

Joe J. are conducted better." This is the situation with which the Negro is confronted throughout the entire South. They simply object to his taking or holding any position excepting that of an inferior. They are not opposed to the Negro tilling the fields, picking cotton, and bringing in the wood. They can tolerate the colored cook in the kitchen, the colored waiter in the hotels and restaurants, a Negro nurse in a Pullman car, if she is holding a white child on her lap, if the white child was not there, no white person could possibly stand it to be any way near the Negro nurse. At the root of all this is simply race prejudice from which the Negro suffers more than any race in the world. It is this same feeling against the Negro that makes it so easy for a mcb, if he simply be accused of any crime from barn burning to rape, to seize him, take the administration of justice in their own hands, and when the crowd is assembled around the object of their resentment, frenzy in their eyes, madness in their heart, nothing restrains their insane rage from deeds of violence, not even the conviction that no such thing can happen without the entire overthrow of all civilized society—without the abandonment on the part of each member of the community, of all that he holds dear to brute force and lawless spoliation. Because so many innocent Negroes have been lynched it causes the mass of Negroes to lose faith in the white man's justice and makes them shield criminals of the race. The Southern white man's statistics of Negro criminality is unreliable because, in their courts of law, NUMBER 3. Behind Prison Bars. OLA AFFAIR Hon. W. W. Fisher, That Prince of Logical and Forcible Writes, Gives Some Interesting Views on the Southern Post-office. Affair Lauds President Roosevelt's Firm Stand. the Negro is judged by a double standard. All of this discourages honest effort among the mass of Negroes, while as a matter of public welfare he should be taught how to make the most of himself and to feel that the whole world is sincerely interested in his achievements, comfort and condition. The Negro is not an outlaw but a citizen. He should not be treated as an alien but as an ally. The Negro was nursed in the cradle of neglect, and of necessity has some of the serious defects of such environment in his constitution. He has given his blood to cement this nation. He has fought on many a battlefield to perpetuate the heritage we have received from Revolutionary days, and to achieve his own freedom. It does seem to us a matter of right and justice the truly deserving Negro, the toiling, struggling, honest, thrifty Negro ought, at least, to be given encouragement in the white man's newspapers and magazines, equal to the notoriety they so willingly and freely accord the criminal element of the race.

The land. Our two sound to fight Southern white man really admire manliness and womanliness in the Negro? Has he in all the ways that his superior culture, wealth and power enables him. encouraged the cultivation in the Negro of these qualities? In making our leaders has he chosen, them in the major cases, with reference to their high moral standing, their fidelity to their race, and their ability to impress them with high notions of civil and domestic virtues? The North must bear with the South the reproach of the Negro's long servitude, and the entire country should unite in giving the Negro race the full use of all rights that God and the Constitution of the United States grant and guarantee to them. The position of President Roosevelt as to the rights of the race makes it difficult for us to admire him most for the great moral courage which he possesses, or to love him most for the humanity which he displays. In thus placing character above color, the President furnishes much food for thought, even for the Christian church, which with shame we must confess suffers in comparison with this Christ like action of his. The Negro race look upon him as their true friend. Long live President Roosevelt! As a race it ought to inspire us to purer living and more strenuous effort to make the most of ourselves for, after all, we are the architects of our own fortunes and the shapers of our own destinies. Let us do our part to widen and sweeten and strengthen our common civilisation. IT'S GOV. BAILEY NOW. On Monday, the 12th inst., at high noon Gov. W. J. Bailey and his associates elected upon the Republican ticket last fall, were duly inaugurated at the Auditorium in this city. The ceremonies were conducted with the utmost simplicity and without the usual hurrah and rush, the new state officers were inducted into their several offices. Gov. Stanley made a neat and appropriate address as the retiring chief executive, after which Gov. Bailey made his innaugural address, which was clean cut and an able effort. He takes up the position under circumstances which are most favorable and no doubt will continue the good and safe march of progress and efficiency, which was characteristic of the splendid four years administration of ex-Gov. Stanley. We sincerely hope and believe that Gov. Bailey will be governor for all the people, and not for any class or faction and that he, like the gallant and dauntless Roosevelt, will not shut the door of hope against any man on account of his color or creed, and that all matters of recognition will be decided strictly upon merit and competency. Governor Bailey's message to the legislature is a conclusive and painstaking document, reviewing the different departments, institutions and resources of this great state. It is well worth the perusal of all patriotic citizens. The legislature would do well to follow the suggestions he makes therein, and they will receive the plaudits and approval of a well pleased constituency. Just why some people have taken it for granted that some Eastern Negro must have the Liberian ministership, which will it is understood be shortly vacated by Dr Crossland, we cannot understand. It has of late years been generally conceded that this is Western patronage, and it is really the only thing of note that the West has been in the habit of landing, and at this time to take it away, we fear would be an injustice to the Negroes of the West, and we cannot believe that when everything is taken into consideration that the President will take away from us the Liberian ministership. While we do not say this from a personal standpoint, we urge and insist that this position should go to a Western man. The annual meeting of the Kansas Lincoln Day club at the Auditorium in this city on Feb. 12th, to observe and commemorate the birth of America's greatest humanitarian and statesman by the colored people of the state, promises to eclipse all of the club's previous efforts. Secretary J. B. Bass reports everything as moving along nicely toward a good attendance from all parts of the state and that by our next issue he will furnish us the program for the exercises. Their annual banquet will be held in a hall not far from the Auditorium immediately upon the conclusion of the exercises. The banquet will be first-class in every particular. It will be a $1.00 per plate affair within the reach of everyone. A special place on the program will be devoted to the memory of Rev. W. L. Grant, one of the founders of the club IN POLITICS. The Senatorial contest is quite warm. We hope the next State Printer will not enter a trust. The newly elected and appointed officers are working in the harness as if they were familiar with their duties. Steve Cane makes a good sergeant at arms. A better hearted man never lived. He will treat everybody right. The newly elected state officers have settled down to biz. The axe will drop next Wednesday. Gov. Bailev is a dignified Governor and dispatches business rapidly. The boys can't stay long in his private room for others are waiting. His private secretary Hon. Harry Bone, knows what to do. He is the right man in the right place. A diplomat up to date, his appointment is the best that could have been made. He understands the people, the Governor, and their wants. Watch him administer to them. Topeka, Kas., Jan. 14, 1903.

Having had the experience I can promise the city more efficient and valuable service in the future if nominated and elected. Hon. M. M.

He has supported hundreds of men for office without any consideration and he now thinks it is time for some of those whom he has helped to remember him. He is a pharmacist, having rolled pills continuously for years at Wilson's Drug store, on East Fourth street. NOTICE TO CHURCHES The churches of the Northwestern Baptist association no doubt wonder why the Minutes of the last session are not out. The cause of the delay first, was the failure of some of the secretaries to send their manuscriet on time, thus allowing other work to be-rushed into the hands of the printer ahead of us, and by so doing, the printers say they have been unable to secure enough printers to do the work. In order to rush matters, they have been compelled to purchase an electrical dinamo, which is being placed in the shop this week, and they assure us that they will be out in a very few days. J. E.

President Roosevelt Would Reward the Black Men Who Fought for America. Which is Just, and Right. There is some of the most damnable, mean, contemptable men posing as Republicans that ever lived. While the President is doing what is right, a lot of them are opposing him, among whom is Adjutant Corbin. We have four colored regiments and they should be officered by colored men. For what are we educating our children if we are to be sat upon. President Roosevelt is right, and the loyal people of this country will stand by him in his fair and impartial treatment of the black man. A late press dispatch says: Washington, D.C., Jan. 14—Army officers in Washington are aroused over a report that President Roosevelt will give commissions to Negro officers who served in the volunteers during the war with Spain and in the Philippines. The concerted action of the Negroes promisesto bring the race question in an acute form before the War department. They are demanding recognition and declare that they have the encouragement of President Roosevelt and the support of influential members of the House and Senate, including Representative Hull, chairman of the committee on military affairs, and Senator Pritchaed, of North Carolina. Mr. Hull has dis ussed the idea of giving the Negroes commissions with the President, and Mr Roosevelt is said to regard it favorably. It is known that Mr. Roosevelt believes the Negroes who fought at San Juan hill and other engagements in Cuba and the Philippines, should be rewarded, but he has been undecided as to what form the rewards should take. In behalf of the Negroes it is urged that before the main body of the troops were ordered home the War department sent a telegraphic request for the names of all those officers who cared to take the competitive examination for the office of second lieutenant. No racial distinction having been made in the message, sixty or more Negro officers signified their desire to take the examination but upon disembarking at San Francisco they found that a subsequent communication from the War department indicated the exact number of officers from each regiment who were to be examined, without mentioning a single Negro. These officers, or many of them, encouraged by the rebuke recently administered to the "lily whites," have appealed directly to the President for.redress, and it has developed that they have some very strong friends at court. Adjutant General Corbin is said to be violently opposed to giving the Negroes commissions. There are no Negro officers in the United States army now. There are four Negro regiments, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry, but the commissioned officers are white men. WANTED—at once, a first-class laundry woman.

MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY becomes a personal one we all feel the same way. So far as the wrongs of the Negro are concerned, "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow." There are eight million blacks, you say. That is five million more than the number of the American colonists who conquered their liberties from Great Britain. There is only one way for the Negro to get his rights in this country and that is to fight for them. This monkey chatter about educating and Christianizing the black man fatigues me. State after state deprives him of civil and political rights, almost without a protest, and after thirty years his condition is actually worse than it was when in slavery. The Bible and the hymn book are well enough, but what the African race needs is another Tousaint L. Overture, with the blood stained banner of revolution and the torch and sword. It is ideas that make a nation, not the census tables; and I call this an Anglo-Saxon nation because the dominating ideas, individualism, personal liberty, home rule and self-government, are Anglo-Saxon in their origin. One Anglo-Saxon is a majority everywhere. The Germans are of the same blood like the rest of the Scandinavians, but the Latin races are in a state of decay. The Celts are a generous impulsive stock, but they have always been the champions of lost causes. Historically, they have failed, and they have no strength except as they have become assimilated with the Anglo-Saxons whose ideas rule this country, and are destined to rule the world. It makes no difference where a man was begotten or born, the instant he becomes an American citizen he is an Anglo-Saxon. "One shall chase a thousand, and two shall put ten thousand to flight."

Sanders, dean of the Yale Divinity school, Yale University, is spending a few weeks with us. He lectures to the young men of the Phelps Hall Bible training school in the morning, and to the student body in the chapel at night. It has become known that Mr. Andrew Carnegie is to visit the school sometime during the latter part of February or March to inspect the new library building for which he donated the money sometime ago. Several photographs of the building have been sent him and he has become very much interested in the building—especially in view of the fact that the plans were drawn by one of the instructors in the school, and was prectically built by the students. LAWRENCE. KAN. The annual parliamentary contest for choosing delegates to represent the various societies of the University in the chapel debate to be held on the 23rd inst. for the purpose of selecting the University representatives who are to uphold the Sunflower banner in the annual debate soon to occur between the Universities of Kansas and Nebraska Universities was conducted here this afternoon and evening, more than a score of contestants participating. Interest and enthusiasm runs high. The thorough drubbing received last year at the hands of Nebraska, has had the effect of awakening profound solicitude on the part of the K. U. students and this result was very manifest in the character of the contestants in today's debate. The ability of each candidate was, of a high order, and every inch of debatable ground was both ably and stubbornly contested. was: "Resolved, That as a general principle the continuous operation of public service industries should be insured by legislation compelling the arbitration of disputes between companies and their employees." It is needless to say that the resolution was accorded scholarly and exhaustive treatment—both pro and con. Sound and disinterested critics say that today witnessed the best exhibition of forensic logic and pyrotechnics that the University has ever seen. The representatives of our race were Messrs. D, E. Henderson, of Emporia, and W. C. Houston of Lexington, Kentucky, both of whom are more or less known to Kansans. These young men are members of the Middle class of the School of Law, and have long since earned a high place among the argumentative reasoners in the school. On this particular occasion each was at his best, and made every word and sentence tell. The forensic display on this occasion was magnificent and an index of greater triumphs to come. Mount Moriah Tabernacle, No 52, held their first yearly meeting at their hall, Jan. 8, 1903, their distinguished C. G. M., Sir Frank Wilson, of Kansas-Nebraska and its jurisdiction, being present. The Knights and Daughters are looking forward for the Grand Session, to be held here July, 1903. GALENA NOTES.
