HEPBURN OPENS BOMBARDMENT Chairman of Interstate and Foreign _ Gommerce Committee and Others _ Make Strong Pleas For Great Isthmian. Waterway. A Washington special says: There was a fairly large attendance in the galleries of the house Tuesday fn aa- ticipation of the opening of the de- Date upon the Nicaragua canal bill, which had been made a special order for the day. By the terms of the agree- ment the bill will continue in the house until disposed of. The house went into committee of the whole (Mr. Grosvenor, of Oblo, in ‘the chair) for the consideration of the canal Dill, and Mr, Hepburn, of Iowa, the chairman of the committee on In- terstate and foreign commerce, which Teported the bill, took the floor to open the debate. He. sald a water way across the isthmus connecting the At- Jantic and Pacific oceans had been In the minds of the people of the world for more than four hundred years. Ta the United States 37 states had Instructed thelr congressional dele- gates to support a Dill for an Inter- oceanic waterway; all political par- tes had aligned themselves dn favor of dt; the subject had been discussed in congress, scientific socictles, the news- papers andon the hustings. Mr. Hepburn said the bill submit- ted by his committee proposed to con- centrate all authority in the hands of the president. It opened no oppor- tunlty for defunct statesmen or the pensioning of persons who had been passed in the race of life. It gave the, ‘United States the authority to protect, defend and operate the canal. Mr. Hepburn said there should now be no question of the feasibility and practl- cability of an inter-oceanic canai.. He summed up the efforts of the Panama canal company to build a canal as follows: ‘The company raised $286,000,000 by the sale of $435,000,000 of bonds, and after eight years the management of, the company Yound themselves with the'work less than one-fourth complete bankrupt in money and chdracter. This, he sald, proved conclusively that the work should be undertaken by governmental agency. Int concluding Mr. Hepburn said there might be some Interests in the ‘United States who believed they would be harmed by the rivalry of this canal and there were gentlemen of honest purpose who thought the time was not ripe for bullding of a canal or that an enterprise of such magnitude should not be undertaken. “But,” he sald, “the American people have decreed that the canal shall be Dullt and that now is the time to build it.” (Applause.) Mr. McDermott, of New Jersey, ask- e1 Mr, Hepburn about the recent re- ported offer of the Panama company to sell out for $40,000,000, but he could not tell what would have been its report on the latest reported offer: The Nicaraguan route was 400 miles nearer the United States than the Panama, « ‘Mr. Hepburn declared there was. no certainty that the Paname~company ‘had submitted a new- proposition, that if it had the purpose was delay and he Wid not helfeve the United States shoulg-Kecome Involved In the discred- Ited"enterprise that the Panama com- “pany had forfeited its rights and that ‘we should deal with Cojoinbia. Mr. Reeves, of Illinois, raised the question whether It would not be well to walt until It was found whether or not a satisfactory arrangement as to a route through Nicaragua could be smade. ‘Mfr, Hepburn replied that"he was as- wsared that “the protocol with Nicara- gua had reached such a state that we ‘were certain to get what we want.” ‘Mr, Hepburn was followed by Mr. Davis, of Florida, in favor of the bill. m 2 tee e ‘NEGRO FOILS LYNCHERS.

Our people should feel commend ed for the manner in which Emanci- pation Day was celebrated. ‘The military did its part and the citizene young and old of both sex showed their appreciation of the event by being out en masse. Ities singular fact that of all the positions iu the state under the Federal government, held by white men. who are seeking reappointment not one of them is opposed by col- ored men, but on the other hand, nearly all of the colored oftice hold- ers are being opposed by colored men.

HIS PRESENT CONDITION, * If we notice the depth from which he came, and not the height to which he attained we cannot but be pleased with his present coniition. It is said that the Negro has ac- complished more than any other race in history. I say a Negro had a right to do more. No race hus been 0 environed as he, aud shile he has done grext things, he could have done greater. I inust acknowledge that the Negro’s friend has tossed too many bouquets at him while” his enemies have been too uyremitting im that denunciation; thus he carried to both extremes and all ex- tremes are abominable. ‘Ihe Negro contents himself tod much at the beautiful flowers of praise tossed at him by hia friends and ia two upt to ignore the true criticism of fis ene- smies charging them with being war- ped and biased by prejudice and hatred. Iam here to tell you this, that pra.se of his friends and denuncia- - tion of his enemy are both hyperbol- sical. THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. ‘The Negro has. aud does depend tdéo much on the Emancipation Pro- clamation. No other race nor no proclamation issued by any other race can make free or independent arace; independence must be de- served or merited, Yes it must be wrought before the “flaming forge” of each iudividual, each nation’s tife and acquired any other way it will only take time to prove that it is empty as air, thio as a bubble,tlight ug a feather and as delusives as! a shadow. Let us not congratulate ourselves any more upon independ- ence given by the proclamation, but use it as a stepping stone to indepen- dence, The Emancipation Proclamation did not nor could not free the Ne- groes every sense of the word polit- ical and governmental ‘freedom but “adlibitum et adinfintum” was ncé granted him, no race can be free when a superior race is doing the leg- islating; uv race can be free that is poor when a race of avealth surrounds it. These dre scientific thruths that water will seek its level light will extingnish darkness, heat wiil ex pand, and cold will contract. None the less true are these sayings ig- norance much stoop to intelhgence and poverty must be subservient to wealth, : The Negro is not self-reliant, aelfconfident, one big impediment in our way. We uk too many favors, Wwe become weak back. We are too dependent. We think people ought to help usa beause we are Ne- ;toes Tdon’t want anybody to help mebecanse lama Negro, to assist -one hecanse hi is a Negro is atrict! clasa Jegiciating and I hage it as bad ‘8’ the devil does a pond of aoly Swu- ter-yes I say we are, too dependent. Here ia the Charity hospital right in ‘our, midst, the only thing the Ne- ‘gre-holds bere in common. Yes the only-thing we have wand havn’t that and.we Negroes are unworthy and| wnfié'fo control it. ‘These are ‘hard Mae : ye “Sat Sy OO ETA TS: Se RR te A ee Se a OF KAI a FY Ee 8 EONS Bh SPOR ag ak Oa a RE ES ACR Dee agers — a ete Se eye iia sah res rae a Pee ees Se, Be SERBS. - Gree oh.” dl ease ME.

I mean no disrespect to those in authority, I mean the,Ne- groea of Savannah, ‘To-day it is bat a monument to our infidelity, selfish- nega and prejadice. With the number. of Negroes in Savannah, this should be one of the most flourishing insti- tutions in this city but to-day we are crutching and cringing at the white people begging them to feed and Protne our own “baby.” ‘The white man is telling the Ne- gro to walk, north, east, south und west, from the howling winds tur- bulent waves and bellowing break- era of the Atlantic to the balmy breese crystal surface and placid wa- tera of the Pacific, yea from the fal- Ten Avalonehes aud frozen glaciers of the north, to the warming streams fertile fields and flowery dales of the South, we hear the vehement voice of the white man ringing out of hie mouth and soul saying, “get down, get down, I am tired, its time you were walking.” HIS PREJUDICE. ‘The Negro’s prejudice is indeed in- tense ; so rampant and selfish, ia it, that it disregards reason, assjults, ability and spurns affection to im- mortatize ego, and his denomina- tional prejudice is uhtrameled and infiuite, ‘ Sometimes I: think these denominational propensities is one of the greatest, if not the greatest misfortunes the Negro has. So few can tise above their creed und dogma the first thing they want to know to what church does this or that man belong, ! Ab brother you talk about colonization, expatriation, segrega- tion and emigration but your selfish prefidice is too great to go anywhere. here ix no rational ur righteous prejudice; all prejudice‘is absurd and mendurions whether in church or state, whether between individuals or among nations or races it is the same diabolicalin design, treacher- ous in operation and destruction at the end. Where I see an individual, a com- munity, a state, a race, or a nation, if you please “hitch up” its uncurbed prejudice to the chariot of its ambit- ion I know just as sure history re- fleots itself ‘that individual, etc, is going to drive beyond the realms of reason and safety. I regard Savannah as haying as abler set.of preachers ag there is in the south, and yet their ability isn’t sufficient to control their dengmi> nativnal prejudice. The present great Negro is that Negro who can gee greatness in hie own race. As, great as Frederick Donglass was he fell from his emi: nense of qoeaes to the slums of depravity. In my estimation when he ignored his race with all ita huos and colors, and became identified with ‘another by marrying a white woman, for I truly feel that the wo- man of my race are thé equals of any race that God has made, Goa will make or God can make, not that I will let color enter into my life ; I know no color, merit and ability, are my standard. One misfortune about some of our “big Negroes” they try to desert their race and ul- ly themselves with the white race. “Goodness nor greatness” consists of being white, “The minds is the standlard of the man.” And my ad- ‘ice to you to-day is quite trying to >2 white and be up-to-date self re- pecting Negroes characters befére rhom angles will bow and devils semble. { hope I have not impress- d any one to believe that. the tint f skin or the tress of hair [ am rajadies pro-or con.

It is nv disgrace to be a Negro and the quicker the leading ones of us find it out the better it will be for the race. If other people look down on us let us not look dawn upon our selyes. God has made us a “coat of many colors” und let us make the bestofit. The time iscoming when we will not harp on our nutionalities but the motto will be what is your character ? what you gut ? aud what you knosv 2. TO BE CONTINUED. Keep in mind the assessment.

THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE'S plans and programme for 1902 contemplate improvements all along the line, so as to keep it in the front rank of the newspaper procession. What THE DAILY TRIBUNE is and what it stands for pretty nearly everybody knows. That it keeps pace in enterprise with the spirit of the age, without sacrificing decoy or accuracy, it is needless to say. But a word as to the other publications issued from THE TRIBUNE office may be timely. For instance, it may not be generally known that the famous old Weekly grew and grew until it became impatiently necessary to divide it in two—THE TRIBUNE REVIEW and THE TRIBUNE FARMER. THE REVIEW is suited alike to persons of the highest culture, to those who are educating themselves and to all who wish the history of the week summarized, explained and illuminated for them. Special attention is given to municipal affairs, domestic and foreign politics and to books and literary news. It is published every Saturday. Price 5 cents a copy, or $1 a year. THE FARMER, issued every Thursday, is one of the handsomest agricultural papers published in this or any other country. The illustrations are superb, and the articles embrace everything relating to farms or farm work. It is a paper which farmers and all who have business dealings with them cannot well afford to get along without. $1 a year. THE TRI WEEKLY TRIBUNE occupies a field all of its own. It was learned by experience that thousands of persons in various parts of the country wanted a New York newspaper, and yet they didn't want one. That squands paradoxical, but it isn't go much so as one might think at first glance. What they were really after was a condensed New York newspaper which wouldn't tax either their purse or their time too much. So it came to pass that THE TRI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE took the place of the old Semi-Weekly. The "Tri" as it is familiar called, appears on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and in these three issues one may find the cream of the matter in the seven issues of The Daily Tribune.

A Washington special says: Admiral Schley leaves for Savannah on Thursday, where he and Mrs. Schley will be the guests of General and Mrs. W. W. Gordon. The admiral will not make any other stops on this trip. A number of other cities have extended him invitations to visit them, but he has told Representative Fleming, who sought to have him visit Augusta, that he will not extend his tour, explaining that while he greatly appreciates the invitations, he feels that it is better not to enter upon what might be misconstrued as a junket for his own glorification. Charleston a Stopping Place. He will, on his return from Savannah, all several engagements that he made some time ago, going first to Chicago, then to Louisville, and later he will go to Charleston, to be at the exposition upon Daughters of the Revolution day. He will not be there when the president pays his visit, as on Monday Schley had a long conference with President Roosevelt, which gave rise to a good deal of talk. It was reported for one thing that the president had sent for him to advise against his making these visits, but the admiral declared there was no truth whatsoever in this. He says the talk was of the friendliest character. The fact is, he talked with the president at length about his case. He entered formal notice of appeal with the secretary of the navy before Secretary Long approved the finding of the board of inquiry, and he has the right to appeal to the president before the latter takes final action. He went over certain features of the case at the white house interview, and, judging by his expressions, he feels that he has reason to be well satisfied with the outcome. "There is nothing but a purely social visit in my Savannah trip," said the admiral later, "General Gordon is my personal friend, and some time ago I promised him I would be his guest some time this winter. It is not a public visitation to that city, for I expect to spend most of my time with rod and gun and such other diversions as my host may propose. There will be nothing like a public demonstration in my honor." Mr. Raynor, Schley's chief counsel, was with him before he went to the white house. All Raynor would say about the visit was that "Admiral Schley has a right to appeal to the president before he passes upon the findings of the court." Isidor Raynor, the counsel for Admiral Schley before the court of inquiry, spent some time on the floor of the house of representatives Monday. He had been at the supreme court, and later visited the house, where he served as a member for some years. Mr. Raynor joined Representative Cummings, of New York, a member of the house committee on naval affairs, and learned from him the general situation of affairs concerning the many bills proposed in the Schley case. Mr. Raynor said later that his visit was without bearing on the admiral's case, although being among old friends, he had taken occasion to learn the general condition of affairs. In this connection it is understood that the friends of Admiral Schley have expressed approval of the bill which has been introduced making the judgment of Admiral Dewey the judgment of congress. However, the informal talks led to the conclusion that a bill of this character was not likely to be reported from the naval committee and that if action was to be taken it must be on one of the various other plans pending. FORTY MILLIONS ASKED. Owners of Panama Canal Offer Their Property to Uncle Sam. A formal proposition to sell the Panama canal properties to the United States government for $40,000,000 was submitted Saturday to the authorities at Washington. It was made by M. Boeufve, representing the company, to Admiral Walker, as chairman of the 1sthmian commission. M. Boeufve acted under cable instructions received from the Panama canal officials at Paris. Admiral Walker brought the proposition to the knowledge of the secretary of state and the president; going directly to the state department BUCCESSOR TO "HISTORIAN."

He dined out on one recent occasion, and the guest of honor was an Englishwoman who is filled with the keenest and most ingenuously expressed interest in America and Americans. "I find you perfectly wonderful over here," said she between the salad and the dessert. "The lives of your prominent men read like romances. Your poor boys grow up to be millionaires and your great men have had the most extraordinary beginnings. One of your Presidents, I am told, was actually a butcher, and the father of a newly-made French princess was a tailor. Now you, Mr. Blank," turning smilingly to the great man at her elbow, "I am sure your history must be most interesting. Do please tell me, at what did you begin life?" The great man started at her in disapproval. "Madam," he said, "I began life as a baby."—Washington Post. X-Rays in a Post Office. The post office at Buenos Ayres has furnished a striking illustration of the value, of X-rays in detective work, says the Electrical Review. Jewelers have found that smuggling in registered letters from Europe was very safe, as the government officials could not legally open such letters on suspicion, and it was finally resolved to investigate the evil without violating the law. The X-ray promptly revealed watches, chains, rings and other valuables in astonishing quantity. This evidence was sufficient for a court order to open the packages and more than $20,000 of property has been confiscated in a single week. Tetter is Terrible.

Jack Shields, well known on Mount Adams, tells the following story on a young man of the East Side whose name he refuses to divulge: "He courted a young lady of my acquaintance," explained Jack, and finally proposed to her. She was from Missouri, and 'had to be shown' how much my friend was earning. He told her $16 a week. She accepted him. During the first week after the marriage the young fellow arose at 4 o'clock each morning and was on his way to work an hour later. He never returned until 7 o'clock in the evening, stating that he worked twelve hours, from 6 o'clock a.m. to 6 p.m. Thus it was that the wife saw but little of her husband. "On pay day the early riser and hard worker brought his envelope, still sealed, to his better half. When she opened it she was rather astonished to find but $8. "How is this, dear? I thought you were earning $16 per week?" she asked. "So I am; but I only worked half time last week;' he replied. "Well, for heaven's sake,' was her startled query, 'what time would you leave the house and when would you return each day if you worked full time?"—Cincinnati Enguiler.
