Every nubject waagiven the choic- est attention by the judge and he dealt with the charge 60 as to com. mand attention, Alter the em- pawelling of the grand jury Mr. Juo. B. Mayes, one of the beat citizens of Copish county was made foreman, Judge Miller ssid: «1 am glad ty talk to you, Itiatrue the circuit judge under the law in required to deliver what ie called a charge’ I haave earnestly striven in the best way possible to uphold the law of my country. My cfforte here met with aome degree of succens. This geatlomon, ina place for a calm, doliverate talk to this grand jury. This, T will endeavor to do. The grand and petit jury sometimes do not have any conception of what the oath meana, MWe apoke of the graud jury of lsat court, whenone of the jury, said he, would ffnd an indictment butit would coat the county too much. If you have any such oa this jury, Mr. Foreman, excuse him atonce, This court has never any trouble with juries in this county, Loan't say this of other counties, Fewer of the graver orimea have decreased since lant court Mow- ever there has beon nearly forty men killed in thin district, This is ten times as many 34 ebould have deen; of theae, most of them were Negroes, He complimented his disttict ca compared to other focal. ities, Sokpe of white men killing Ne- grees. We pay too little attention to such crimes, he ssid, unless seme promincut man ie murdered in seme very brutal manner, we give it little consideration, The time ie upon you for every man to dohisduty. Itie the duty of the grand jury to have the evidence, If a man is brought before you and you have the connecting evidence itia your duty to indict, [am not now, never have I been, nor ever will be, a Negro’s man; neither am I in favor of aocial equality, and if aNegro geta out of bis place Tam in favor of puttiug him back, But ifs man in brought before you for killing a Negro, and you have the evidence fine av indictment This court will oxpect you to in dict every Negro. If any white man, has wil fully murdered a Negro, and if you have the evidence! want you to find auindictment. I see on this jury some men whose heads are whit with the froste of many winters I know, gentlemen, you will dc your duty. Treewome young men, the bop of our country, God bleas them He called attentson to gatwhling Some, he aaid, did nothing els fora living, riding in rubber tires buggies and who would get minor drunk and ateal their money These area menace to society, : theif and a robber.

If T can't get proteo- ston I will use my gam. | want ‘this tabe aaid that this is the boat grand jury ever cmpanelled in Cop. iab county. The most important vasca to come up for trial at this term are Young and Hogg, who on July 11 killed a Negro in the custody of Traveling Sergeant Dodds and the Boyd poisoning case, There was # good crowd in town at the open: ing of court.” The above article ie from a Miss iesippi paper and showa the injustice and contemptibleness of ‘Southern justice meted out to the colored people by men who are ippoeed to administer the laws fairly and equally to all altke. When such men as Judge D: N, Miller, who now occupies the Bench at Hazlehuret, Miss., are dead, the better it will be for the entire South, He widl never get justice uutil he meets the devil and there be one of his archangela with all the other white Southern hell hounds like him, that have goné before him, We sympathire with the colored people of Mississippi that have tc be predominanted over by suet ignorant and atnpendous hypocrites aa this woald-be Judge Miller. TOPICS OF INTEREST. The senatorship contest in the Republican party to succeed Bur- ton in 1907 is simmering down to four active candidatea, with room onthe outside fora whole raft of passives, ‘The four are Charles Curtis, W. R. Stubbs, Phillip P. Campbell, and Joseph I. Bristow; and the passives now in eight are Marcus A. Low, David W. Mul. vane, W. A. Calderhoad, James F. Getty, Charles F, Scott, Victor Murdock, and always and never avdrlooking KE. W. Hoch. Really, Gov. Hoch is active in bis own hopes and secret wishes, but friend Stubba isso aggressive that the governor cannot find ao opening. For until after the next campaign, Stubbe and Hoch go hand and hand as they have since the bosses were busted two years ago coming next month; and since Stubbs was the first to file on the office, his friend can't consistently goin. Indeed, Hoch must firet be elected to be governor again before he can think outloud of any other oftice, andin the meantime the shrewd Quaker of Lawrence je put: ting in plugs which Hoch muat reapect, Se before Governor och may consetently atart oat for the sens torsbip, after his 1e-olection to be governor, hie friend, Stubbs, must have bad hia dayin Kanese and failed, Thie does not put Mook out of the running, and especially Itdoes not bar bia from hoping and thinking and even acoretly planning, ‘Chat he will do in the nature of things; for with all the state patronagee’ his command and a half dozen ora dozen, state sena tora under obligations to him, he would be a political incompetent notte hope and even plan fur ar opportunity to happen " which he might take the prize.

MATTERS AT WASHINGTON! The Washington News Syndicate Sees < Chance for Our Own Prof. Veinon -—Other Interesting Notes. Itie stated that the position of Register of the Treasury will go either to W. T. Vernon of Qaindaro, Kaas. or 8. L, Williams, an attorney of Chicago. It is not likely that the President will give another term to Judson W. Lyons, who will soon| have held the position eight jaar Mr, Lyons isthe Republican Nation- al committeeman of Georgia, a well- balanced, able, man, and his record hasbeen good, The President, how- ever, is inclined to the boliefthat elght years represents about long enough for one man to hold a place for which there are so many others fated and heartily willing to serve. ‘The President is inclined to favor Mr. Williams, who is said to have the backing ot Prof. Bookes T- Washington. but such a strong show- ing was made in behalf of Me. Ver- nonthat he may get the position, The entire Keneas delegation in Congress, accompanied by Repre- sentative Tawney of Minnesota, who wae the vice chairman in charge of the speakers’ bureau in the fant cam- paign, saw the President this week and urged the appointment of Ver- non, They told the Presicent that Vernon did splendid service in the last national campaign, speaking in six states and paying his own exe penses. Asan orator he issaid to be excelled by few white men. As aneducator he ranke with Professor Washington. He is the head of Quindaro Industrial Institute, Quia- daro, Kans, The President simply said he would consider the recoommendation, 000 The critical and acute situation attending the administration of Dr, | Joha Gordon, president of Howard University reached a state of erup- tion last Friday when the whole stu- dent body of tha. institution, as an Jindication of the contempt aud pro- } test against Dr, Gordon, greeted him with jeers, hisses acd groans wheo he entered the university chapel to conduct the segular exercises for the |day, A further rebellious spirit was |showowhen Dr, Gordon arose to | begin these exercises, the entire 700 J etudents marching out of the room. | Following the unceremouious exit of | the angry and excited students, paa- |demonium reigned for several mo- | ments about the noiversity campus. | Marching abont the grounds, the | students were hooting, singing songs, jand denounoing Dr: Gordon io the Hmost bitter manner, The college Jexercises were abandoned for the day, and after some hours quiet was Jrestored and the students went to ‘Ttheir rooms. This outburst of de nunciation and display of rebellious ‘|enirit on the part of the Howard I students is due the intense feeling and bitter opposition to Dr, Gordon's i] prejudicial conduct towards the atu- |} dents and teachers of the university 'Jandthe colored people im general. | as detrimental and out of harmony s| with the race and the intereste of ‘ithe university. | The trouble with Howard Univer- sity dates back several months, A | committee of graduates representing ,| the patrons and friends of the uni. | versity, was appointed at an open 1 conference held in Galbraith, A. M, "1, church last May, which presented | a petition to the board of trustees af ;|its annual meeting, May 31, praying forthe removal! of Dr, Gordon as 1| president. The committee suggested »| phat the board of trustees appoint 4 -Jcommittee to consider the petitior and such other matters as ma b presented bearing on the conditions existing. In a statement issued December 9 by members of this committee, itis stated the five months intervening since the petition was pres :nted have given opportunity for cclored people throughout the country to consider the matter and give expression to their views, Thefact has been clears ly demonstrated, they say, that the opposition to Dr. Gordon is not con- fined toa narrow circle in the city, of Washington, but that practically the whole race {s opposed to him, bitterly, and that the farther one gets from Washington the more pro- nounced and hostile is the feeling. It has grown among all classes and has become « conviction that Dr. Gordon is not « fit man for the prea- idency of Howard University. The statement presents the follow- ing propositions as indicative of the attitude of the committee; “It fg a fact that Dr, Gordon does not possess the confidence nor even the respect of the student body. “The graduates of all departments are practically against him, “The professors and teachers are far from being unked in the opinion thatheis the right man or anac- ceptable man for president of How- ard University, A poll of professors and teachers on University Hill who are associated closely with Dr. Gore don and come in contact with him daily probably would disclose that none of them would commend him as the right man for the place. We re- spectfully suggest that such a poll be made, “The colored people at large. whore jaterests are paramount, and who regard Howard University as peculiarly their own institution, are united In the demand for kis imme- diate removal, They desire. how ever, that its doors shall continue to remain open on equal terms @) all races, and that offizers and Instructors shall be chosen on merit and without regard to race.” Criticising Dr. Gordon personally and as the erecutive head of the in- stitution, the statement says; “Ivisthe general opinion that he has not the gifts and qualifications to represeat the university before the public on the platiorm or in the pulpit, lacking in magnetism and power of speech. “Ho does not possess tact, and has therefore, antagonized his oftcers, teachers and students. instead of drawing them to him, “It isa serious misfortune that, by reason of Japse of memory or lack of continuity of purpose, his word given to either professoze or students, has not always been faithfully ob- served, Wedo not attribute mora} blame. ‘sItis not probable that any one would claim that he has brought fi- nancial, executive or disciplinary ability, or scholarship, or influence, or digaity to the office of president ofthe university, As a matter of fact there has been a serious deteri- oration in these respecte from the atendards of former presidents. “The feeling is all pervasive that he possesses and has displayed race prejudice in a marked manner. ‘The statement closes with part of jau editorial from the Christian Re: cordes, the official organ of the A, S{ 13. church, which says in part: “It can sat be emphasized too strongly here that there is no ob- jection to Ir, Gordon becauae he is awhite man, We heartily welcome! allour white brethren among us at eT workers, who come in the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ, we honor and severence them, but there is no room in ourschoos and colleges for |the “Lily White” educator of the Gor- don type who insults the manhood of the race. Dr, Gordon should be removed atonce.” 0y0 “Under these circumstances there is no career of usefulness for him at this university.” ’ The vigorous fight for appoint+ ment as justices of the peace for the District of Culumbia was ended laet Wednesday when the President sen totheSenate for confirmation ihe names of sixof the present jacum- bents, one, Robert H, Torrell, being acolored man. tt bad been hoped thatthe colored people would be able to hold two of the six justices asthey had when the number was ten, but in this they were disappoint. ed, E. M. Hewlitt, failing to be re- appointed. ‘The statement of the committee presents petitions, letters, clippings ‘and opinions, which, it is asserted, represent the sentiments of colored people of intelligence and standing outside of the Institution, Among thepetitioners are bishops, clergy- men of every denomination, sobool ‘teachers, repretontatives in pubile life, lawyers, dootors, dentists, busi ness men, editors of religious and secular papers and representatives of other callings. 090 ‘The opeming meeting of a conven- tion called for the purpote of organ- izing a national Negro Baptist Ev- angelieal Association was held in the Cosmopolitan Baptist church December 7, With a large attendance.

Some men say the second conviction is the laut nailin his coffin, and that resigna- tion, or expulsion, is inevitable. Others sav that he ieno worse off by the second conviction than he was before, and that !t adds no reason for either resignation or expulsion. They af6rm that he is made no more guilty by the second conviction than by the first, and that he will continue to hold hia office, although not per: forming its duties, as before. Of course, the Senate 1s supreme and a law unto itself, and it has the constitutional prerogative to expel himor any other Senator at any time. But it would require two thirds of the votes todo this, and besides it would set a radical prece- dent, which the Senate is slow to do, Of course, if Senator Burton should at any time accept the verdict of the jury and abandon his right of appeal, his case thereby would be ended and the Senate would expel him. But Senator Burton's friends say he has nointention of doing this, which puts it up to the Senate, and the same friends say he is in no danger from that source. There are reasons ef politics, out- side of his personal choice, why Senator Burton is not likely to re- sign. He, himself, is down and out, but his former polltical associates still are active, and when the vacan- cy occurs they want a share in fill ingit. By resigning now he would deliver the office to a rising faction of the Republican party of the etate whichis not friendly to his old as- anciates, and Governor Hoch would selectone ofthat faction to fill the vacancy. The new Senator not only would fill the vacancy, but be would entrench himself for an eleotion by the Jegislature. Another reason for Burton to hold on is the welfare of Senator Long, who also wants a haod in making the new senator, He especially wants no surprise to be sprung upoa him Ifthe responsibility should be put up to Governor Hoch, the new man might or might not be Senator Long's friend. He more likely would be anti-Long, for lately there is a move- ment amongthe old “Burton crowd” and the old “Long machine’’ to get together in a common cause against the new dynasty which Governor Huch and W. R. Stubbs have estab lished, and should it be putup to Governor Hoch to appoint a Senator he would appoint a man who would do the most good for the new crowd, To protect himself and set at rest the tears of his new ftrieuds, itis reasonable to believe that Senator Long, in addition to encouraging Senator Burton not to create # va- cancy by resigning, would discour- age any movement in the Senate iteelf to create one by expulsion, It might be argued in favor of expul- sion that the new senator would aup: port a radical railroad rate bill, but it takes two-thirds to expel, and be- sides there is the hesitancy of the Senate to establish new precedents The lesson of the recent inquiries before the state beard of railroac commission is that the railroad ques. tion in this country {s not one o: rates, but of rebates.

When the President in his Raleigh speech turned against the Exsch-Townsend bill, and poiated out another and a modified method, the people began to be hopeful of some- thing practical, and reports from Washington are that all interests concerned are getting together. Among the senators who will insist upon a fair bill is Senator Long of Kansas, When he was in Kansas he said he would vote for e fair bill. but would not stand for anybody's bill, even the President's, until he should know {te nature. Since his arrivad in Washington he has repeat: edthat declaration, and now word comesfrom him privately that he has nodoubta Dill satisfactory to to the public and the railroads ahke will be framed.

The first and most successful two days reunion of Scottish Rate Masonry of colored men was held, commencing the 1st at 404 Kansas avenue, Masonic Temple. Degress were confered from the 4th to 32d on a large class. The reunion was successful from several points of view. The personal of the class of the highest degree of integrity and character, the attendance from abroad, and the impressive and effective manner in which the work was done in fact it was almost perfect, and the men who took respective parts have been congratulated upon every hand. Never before in the history of this state among colored men, has the work been of such perfect nature as during these two days meeting. Referring to the prominent persons present: A D Illine, J. E. Clark and others of Salina; C. C. Offing, St James, and G. D Offine of Pasley, and N. A. Clay Horton Scottish Rate Masonry differs from any other organization in existence, from the fact that there is not another body of man bound together with stronger fraternal ties than this body. Its teachings are religious, historic, and philosophic, and the work that is now being done and hope to do by Kaw Valley Consistory for the good of colored men in general and masons in particular would be too elaborate to attempt emancipation at this time. Suffice it to say, that its aim is to imitate the lessons of lager and more useful manhood. The work was conducted by Allen P. Smith, 33 deg, ably assisted by G. W. Guy, 33 deg, Saml Hydre, 33deg, John Armstrong, H. L. Monroe, Dr O A Taylor, Oscar O. Ocor, G. W. Hatta, J. B. Fleming, Louis Knott, Ed. Jones, W T McKnight, W B. Bryant and many others. The crunan closed with an old fashioned love feast and banquet catered by Sr A. I. Allen. Don't fail to see the Ninth Cavalry boys at the big Xmas party. Lincoln Institute Notes The following resolutions adopted by the unanimous vote of the faculty and student body of Lanceol Institute form a very fitting testimonial with which to close the most successful foot ball season in the history of the institution. Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 5, 1905—Resolutions of appreciation and thanks to President Allen and Coach and Manager Professor West, and to the "Incredible Tigers" of Lincoln Institute: Whereas, the Lincoln Institute foot ball team of 1905 has fairly and squarely defeated every team against which it has played this season, and Whereas, these defeated teams are of excellent reputation and high standing, some of them having been trained by the best foot ball coaches in the country, without regard to "race, color, or previous condition," and Whereas, the Lincoln Institute team has added much lasture to our previously earned reputation as a potent force in the menu of college athletics, and thereby has brought our institution into a visible notice of many levels of physical culture and many sports, who were other indifferent with reference to our claims on ignorant of our capabilities; let it be resolved, therefore that we hereby express our thanks and gratitude to President Allen for the encouragement aid and support, ment and immuno, which he has given to our boys, for without them we could have had no team. That we express our thanks and appreciation to our efficient coach and manager, Professor West, whose knowledge, ability and unfiring energy prepared our team for their brilliant achievements. That we express our thanks and apreciation to the members of the team for their splendid work on the guidron. For we talize that the game is "up to them" after all, since we know that no coach, however true and brave, can win a contest unless his men are loyal, strong and courageous, and have good "pushing" qualities. Be at further Resolved. That we pledge ourselves to and in paying the bills incurred by the brilliant campaign of our team abroad, and to assist the president in every possible way in his efforts to place Lincoln Institute on higher ground in every sphere.

In regard to scrubbing dairy utensils, everybody is supposed to know how to scrub, but people do not always do the best they know how. Washing may be divided into three parts: first, washing all the dirt off with lukewarm water and washing powder, second, rinsing or cleansing in boiling water, and third, proper drying. This is seldom properly done on the average farm, partly from lack of knowledge of the growth of bacteria, and partly because a farmer is generally in a hurry. By careful washing things will generally come out greasy, even after being rinsed in hot water. A good washing powder which cuts grease should be used, and this may be obtained at almost any grocery store at a very reasonable price. There is no need of drying with a cloth, for after being rinsed in boiling water the dairy utensils will readily dry in a few minutes. Imagine the conditions of wash water after all the parts of a separator bowl and covers have been washed in it, together with the other dairy utensils. It is similar to that of dish water in which the dishes from a large family dinner table have been washed. If the utensils coming from this water are merely rubbed with a cloth and put together again without scalding, it is impossible to obtain good milk or cream after running it through such a separator. They will sour in a few hours and will generally have a bad flavor. Where steam can be bad it is the best known means of sterilizing dairy utensils. Boiling water is its best substitute. Tinware gets rusty when left standing wet, and wooden ware sours and develops a bad color and bad smell when not given a chance to dry quickly, but if dipped in boiling water or steamed they dry in a few minutes. When the housewife washes cloth she first soaks them, then washes them through two different batches of clean boiling water, and tines them. They are next wring out and hung on the line to dry in the sunshine. If the same care is taken with dairy utensils and handling of milk there is no reason why dairy products should not be as clean and inviting to the taste as newly-washed white linen clothes are in appearance. We should by all manner of means he as cleanly with what goes into our hushes as we are with what we put on the outside.—Ch. W.

LOVRIEN, Asn't Gen'l Passenger Ag't Kennew City, Mo. calf has learned to eat hay it is not easily overfed on sweet skim milk, prevailed the feeding is done regularly. If the calf has been well cared for until it is about eight weeks old it will be ready to start chewing its cud or summate and it is no baby any more The ideal time to start the calves is in the fall, when we can with good shalter and plenty of feed push them along until they are five or six months old, when they are ready to go to pasture and develop as young animals can only on a free range. After going to pasture they need no more milk, but unless the pasture is very good and plantable should have a little grain. Do not forget to give them a little salt regularly. Milk substitutes are about equal to hay tea and calves can be raised on them, but they are a very poor substitute in my experience. The growth is slow and often there is considerable bowel trouble. If milk can be bead do not bother with these so called substitutes. If you feed limited meal at all feed it sparingly the first eight weeks, later the amount may be increased but my experience tells me with skin milk corn is preferable to loose meal for healthy growth and cheapness. Patent calf feeders with tubing rubber nipples, etc. are hard to keep clean and cost considerable and the nipples soon go to press. They are of little or no advantage. Raising calves is a very easy and simple thing, in fact they will take them calves if you only give them a fair chance. Near these maxims in your memory so you will never fail to practice them. Have a robust call to start, keep it in a clean, dry, comfortable place. Feed and water very regularly. Weigh the milk and test with thermometer (20 deg.) Be sure all food is above suspicion. Keep the feeding vessels perfectly clean KEEP SHEEP ON SMALL FARMS Imports of wool from British markets have so far this year exceeded last year's imports by 48,000 bales. This, together with the high prices growers are receiving for the dip in the wool, is strong argument in favor of more sheep on western farms. Sheep currently can not complain this year, for besides having good prices for wool and lambs there has been an unprecedented demand for wethers and old breeding stock. It is also being rapidly shown that large flocks are not necessary for profitable sheep raising, but that a few added to the other have stock of the farm will bring in a steady and handsome income. Raise all the feed you can on the farm and buy only those feeds necessary to price out. Dear Sirs, Allow me space in your paper to let it be known that on the night of Dec 4, along about eight or half past a mob of white hoodlums at tacked one Geo, McCain, colored, on the street and would have mobbed him had it not been for the assistance of the proprietors and a traveling man named Edwards. McCain has been working at a barber shop here and was making some money and it seems that the hoodlums were mad about it. He was told that he must leave town. McCain being of a disposition not to run payed no heed to this and upon that night was attacked. Also one other, Mr John Scot was also attacked. A. C. COLEMAN. The Raven in Folklore. R Roswell Smith, an Englishman, has recently made an exhaustive study of the place of the raven in folklore, in religious legends and in literature. It is a curious commentary on the people of some Christian nations that they should hold the raven in abhorrence when the legends and in some cases the authentic histories of the church, tell them that the bird which they shun was the companion of a dozen or so salubs and martyrs who gained rather than lost in sanctity from the companionship. --- A. HILTON, Gen't Passenger Ag't, St. Louis, Mo., RAISING CALVES. I have a number of questions on this important subject, says L. W. Lighty of Adams county, Pennsylvania, in National Stockman and Breeder First, I like to start right and have no use for a poor, weak calf to stait with. It is desirable that the dam be well cared for and well fed and have a six or eight weeks' rest prior to calving, and the chances are favorable that the calf will be robust. A calf that has six or still better eight well developed teeth at birth is generally ready to eat and grow if the feeder understands his part. Do not let the calf drink at the cow. This is not theory, guess or fancy, but I know it is the best practice for the practical diirryman. If you let the calf drink at the cow it very greatly increases the difficulty of teaching it to drink out of a pail because both instinct and experience taught it that the head must be thrown up to get nourishment; but that is not the worst; the trouble with the cow is often more serious, she gets nervous and excited, holds up her milk. The result is caked quarters, when the calf is finally taken away she laments, becomes painful and sometimes starts kicking and becomes real ugly. I have cows six years old that never suckled a calf at all and I am sure I am the gainer in having less work and having the cow and calf do better from the start. Starting the Youngster. The calf is removed from the sight of the cow as soon as dropped to a dry, comfortable place and rubbed dry, then allowed to rest eight or ten hours, after which it gets its first feed. A robust calf will have developed a good appetite by this time and is ready to hunt for nourishment. In careful and patient with the first lesson in feeding and much future trouble will be saved. Take a little milk in the hollow of your hand and put the first two fingers in its mouth. When it begins to suck it gets a taste of the milk and its head will readily follow the fingers into the palm, and as soon as the mouth touches the milk it will begin to drink. A few careful lessons of this kind and you can withdraw your fingers gradually and it will drink out of the palm without further cradle. About three lessons usually surface, though we occasionally most more obtuse cases and nothing but patience will conquer. The calf is of course fed with milk just drawn from the dum. This whole milk should be continued about one week, when a little skim milk may be added, say about one fifth. At two weeks one third skim milk may be used and by the time the calf is four or five weeks old it may go on skim milk entirely. All changes in food should be made gradually. Sudden changes are often daunting. As early as possible it should be taught to eat a little gram. Ground wheat is good, so is ground oats if the cow's hull is sitted out, but corn is really the best. Fresh, sweet skim milk and a little corn produce a healthy and rapid growth. Both these feeds are easily digested and surely will there be trouble if fed regularly and in moderation. Let the hay not be forgotten, as that will hasten the development of the digestive organs. If the little thing can see its larger and older companions munching hay it will begin quite young to mibble of a wisp of sweet fresh hay is placed in reach every day. Cautions. Great care must be taken to have the feeding vessels clean and have the milk sweet and at the right temperature. Do not forget the scale tells the quantity and the thermometer the temperature. Glucose-work is often expensive work. Once the digestive apparatus is damaged medication does mighty little good. If sour milk must be fed allow it to clabber before feeding, but no clabbered milk should be fed to a calf before it is four weeks old if we expect it to thrive well. Creamy skim milk should be pasteurized before feeding, otherwise it is unsafe. Be sure the calf gets all the water it wants to drink daily after it has its portion of milk. This is very often neglected, but the calf will not grow and thrive without it as it will when this want is supplied. Good milk twice per day, four pounds at a feed on eight pounds per day, gradually increasing so as to give it 12 to 14 pounds by the time it is four weeks old.

Louis hands off until a friendly Indian, as Curtis or Campbell, or possibly Bristow, gets within sight, when the senator will give him the necessary votes to elect. This at least is the logic more than a year ahead of the caucus, did the aforesaid wise men believe it will be so until the end. It is said that Senator Long would not be willing to render Stubbs any assistance, whatever and naturally Hoch would be under the same ban. He would help Calderhead, but the politicians look Calcerhead to be shut out by Bristow. These two aspirants live in same district, and neither could expect any help at the start outside of that part of the state. So Bristow will be the candidate of the old "machine crowd" of the Fifth district, and nobody else in that section of the state need apply. There are "machine men" elsewhere in the state, but these owe obligations to local candidates. Especially are they friends of Senator Long' and what are his interests are their interests. The strongest factors of the contest outside of the active candidates will be Mr. Low and Mr. Mulvane. The friends of the latter claim with Curtis out of the way early, he could carry off the prize hands down. He is young, well informed, and eminently capable. For more than ten years he has been in the fore front of Kansas politics, and by his affable manners and breadth of beam has made a following which would be glad to make him senator. However, Mr. Mulvane is tied up to Curtis good and strong, and Mr. Curtis has no intention of getting out on the way early or late. So Mr. Mulvane will stand for Curtis and after Curtis, for Campbell. What Mr. Low will do is his own secret. He is presumed to be for Curtis, and there is gossip that if pressed to it he would accept the senatorship for himself. The issue before the people will be the railroads, but the Democrats will so far outherod the Republicans that the latter will reef their sails and settle back to a conservative platform, as they did in 1804 when the silver question was the whole thing in the party. Such at least is the outlook now. 000 President Roosevelt's recommendations of railroad rate legislation are not what the railroad bailers hoped it would be, and since it is so conservative and even tempered there is strong grond for hope that the leaders of Congress will be able to get together on a wholesome and fair bill. The President's official utterance on this subject confirms the people's early confidence in his resolution, so far as he has the power, to frame a bill which will be alike fair to the railroads and just to the public. The radical and impractical element, which has proceeded on the, assumption that the railroads are the common enemy, will have to take a back seat, and give place in the deliberation to conservative and right thinking men. The one question in all the agitation for railroad legislation is that of remedy, not of rates. Nobody is complaining of unfair rates, but of rebates, and the thing to do is to stop that evil. Rebates could be practiced under rates made by government as under rates made by the owners of the railroads, and the Kach-Townsend bill, or any other bill, which proposes government made rates, could not stop it. It is the desire of the railroads, so the subject is a hopeful sign. If the Congress will go to work fairly and with a desire to do the right thing the rate problem soon will be solved. It will be a bill upon which all may stand, all except the railroad bailers, and Senator Long of Kansas will be in at the making. 0 0 0 The old high bridge which spans the Missouri River at Fort Leavenworth is to be taken down and sold for old iron. This bridge was built more than thirty years ago at a cost of $1,090,000. The money came from Holland, and was realized from the sale of bridge bonds to confiding Dutchmen. The bridge constructed did not cost $1,600,000, but that is what the Dutch put up and it all went. The bridge properly should have been put in front of Leavenworth City, but the speculators who were behind the enterprise located it at the fort, expecting by right of way concessions to steal the 1,500 or more acres of land which comprised the military reservation, but the scheme did not work. For many years the bridge was used by the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railway, until the present bridge was built in front of the city. ST JOSEPH, MO The following items were too late for last week The following program was rendered at the A.M. E church last Sunday night in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison. The church was crowded, all out to do honor to a man who dared to do at a time when it tried men's souls. It is indeed an evidence of the onward progress of race when they do not forget but cherish and hold in sacred memory those who have helped fight its battles. "Out of the shadows of night The race is moving into light. It is daybreak everywhere." The mock legislature at the lyceum last Tuesday night was well attended and proved to be very interesting. At the annual election the efficient and worthy president, Mr. W. A Hill, was re-elected. He has done splendid work and has made the lyceum what it is today—a meeting place for the intellectual giants of the city. Mr. W. A. Hill, Miss Elizabeth Bell and Hon. J. H. Kelly were chosen delegates to represent the lyceum at the Inter State during the holidays. The Men's club of the Baptist church is growing in interest and numbers It meets every Monday night. Don't forget the Studio Tea Party under the auspices of of the art class at the A.M.E.parsonage, Thursday Dec.14. Bartlett High school rendered a splendid musical and literary program at the A.M.E. church Thursday night for the benefit of the piano fund. The Daughters of Allen are arranging to give one of the finest musical and literary recitals of the season. It is the strongest young ladies' organizations in the city. Mrs. L. Green is the president of this popular organization. Rev. Caldwell conducted the funeral of Mrs. Spence Saturday after noon. Mr. Ramsey, the colored undertaker, had charge of the funeral. A coffee was given by the chapter at Mrs. A. Quarles on Thursday, from 4 to 11 p.m. Quarterly meetings were held at both the C.M.E. and M.E. churches Sunday. Dr.J. Will Jackson and Rev. Kirkendall were here and conducted services at their respective churches. Mrs. Louisa Beck, who has been sick for some time, is recovering, and will soon be able to be out among her friends. The churches were well attended Sunday, despite the cold weather. The churches here are manned by some of the strongest ministers of the state and the people seem to appreciate every effort they put forth. The Cassius Brown fund is growing. We hope every one will contribute something to this worthy cause. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland has moved to his new office, corner Ninth and Frederick avenue, where he will be glad to see his many friends. So many requests have come in, and so much favorable comment has been expressed over its successful rendition, that 'The Prodigal Son' will be repeated at First Baptist church, Kansas City, Kans. Friday evening, December 18th. President Vernou returned Sunday from a very successful trip to Muskogee, I. T., where he addressed the colored citizens. He is much impressed with the "Negroes' Paradise" with its Negro bankers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, preachers and wealthy landowners, a land of fertile soil and abundant harvests. Many students will enter this institution next year from that locality. Examinations have been in vogue all this week. Opera chairs of elegant style and design are being placed in the new Trades Assembl hall this week by the contractors. Our new auditorium will accommodate nearly 500 persons. The drama, "Thirty Years of Freedom" will be presented during the holidays by the Sunday School students under Rev. L. R. Vaughn. L.O3 ANGELES, CAI. To the Editor It is a pleasure to me to write a few lines for your dear paper that is doing so much to lift up, encourage and press forward all of the interests of the race. I am only too sorry that so very few of us have our eyes open to the fact that we must get our emancipation through the Negro press. The pulpit all over is being filled with able exponents of the gospel of our Lord and Master and we are pleased to note the wonderful improvement that is being made in the character and quality of the worship in the churches; and while this speaks volumes for the race in the way of advancement along spiritual and religious lines. It is indispensable to our success that we shall as a race give more heed to our newspapers. We have hundreds of efforts being made by splendid men who are fully competent both in intellect and means to publish just the papers we need; and dear readers, you have not even the inkling of a thought as to how many hundred of thousands of dollars these philanthropic Negro newspaper men have tied up in type and other press fixtures, which investment is bringing them little or no returns, simply because the race will not subscribe for and take these papers. When the emancipation proclamation was issued by Mr. Lincoln almost one half century ago, it was circumscribed and handicapped by the American press to such a wonderful extent that the race has never enjoyed the benefits of said proclamation in spirit and substance and only partially so in the letter of the law. The associated press through which and by which all the large Metropolitan newspaper are operaced, has never been in his effort to give to himself his secondary freedom. If the race could have had the aid of the public press these four and a half decades of its struggle, the sentiment in the country would have been far more favorable. The Negro will never be fully placed before the American public upon his merits until this biased sentiment or prejudice in the hearts of the people is changed and this will not be changid until the Negro editor does it with his newsy newspaper; and to accomplish this work the paper must be so ably edited that it will read upon its merits by all American citizens not because it is a Negro newspaper but because it is a worthy journal. We have always had a class of "400", upper tens and blue veins among us who when asked to subscribe for a paper edited by a Negro will say there is nothing in the paper and that when he spends his money, he must have value received. This class of Negroes as a rule, never see a thing good in the race leaders either in the pulpit or the press. He never has time to spend an hour at church or write an article to help the editor make his paper. Now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion I wish to say, I truly hope that the PLAINDEALER will continue to improve in its quality and to widen in its circulation until it is greater than the best of all our Negro journals of America.
