A famine In labor prevails through-
vut’Mississippi, It has grown acute
and Is serigusly interfering with har-
cyesting the cotton crop. The scarcity |
4s attributed by the farmers to labor
agouts.who are taking the Negro farm-_
hands off to Work on the railroaas and
levees and in the Jumber districts and
some, of" them to the plantations in
Loutsiana, *
In nearly overy county the law
against labor agents, prohibiting them |
from enticing clabor away, has teen
BBpealed to, but In ali cases it has
beef-found impossible to capture the
labor agents, as the Negroes assist in
concealing their movements. In Amito
county a farmers’ club has been or-
ganized and a plan devised to run out
the labor agents. The club has becn |
‘so far Working as a secret organiza-
.tion and intends to deat out punish-
ment to those caught in the act of en-
tieing laborers away. .

2 Jim Crow Cars.
The Loufsville Cotirier- Journal |
(Dem.) says: “The ‘Jim Crow’ law |
drawing the color line in the New Or- |
Jean’ sttect cars, which has just been
declared unconstitutional by a lower,
court, has been on trial for about two
weeks and according to the Picayune
_thds been abandoned to general viola-
tion and contempt’ Everybody tram-
plexipon it with impunity. The law
was pissed by the whites, in the sup-
posed fpterest of the whites, but the
whites ’ were the first to violate It.
When their own compartments were
crowéed and there were vacant seats
in theJcolored compartments ‘they
quickly chose to sit with the Negroes
Jathér than stand with the whites,
AGW or no law, and successfully resist: |
ed the efforts of the conductors to
have them remain on their own side
of the color line. It has reached the
spoint now where noboly makes an ef-
fort to enforce the law.’”
The same conditions prevail on the |
railroads, When white folks want to
drink whiskey, uso the closet, etc.,
they come in the cars ior ‘colored pec-,

The Negro as a Farmer. |
In an address on “Ihe Negro as 8
Farmer of Georgia,” at Clark univers!-
ty In Atlanta, Ga., Professor RR.
‘ Wright, president of the State Indus
trial college, took the position that’
there should be great improvement in
‘plantation and mechanical tools and |
in tho class of live stock and the |
care of stock. “Poor and antiquated |
teols and old broken-down mules |
should not be the characteristics of
Negro farmers.
He stated also taat farm labor ought |
to be improved. The man behind the |
mule should be a more fatelligent |
worker. “He shoukl have a better
home and better household and kitch- |
ea furniture in that home.
He regarded farming as perhaps the |
most lucrative business in which the
colored. than could now engage. He
epoke of his efforts along the line o1 |
shdustrjal cducation, and especially
along the 'line of agriculture. He has
a large number of boys engaged In this |
class of traning. For the past four |
years the school has held 2 farmers’
conference, and «uch has becn done |
by the state college in this way.

Why a Black Man is Black. |
+ it ts not an ateident that the skin
of the African is blacx, but a provi-
sion of nature to fit him for his sur-
roundings, for a black skin can with- |
—stand the sun's rays better than a |
white one. It might be thought, per- |
“hays, that 2s black absorbs We rays
gndwhite reflects them it would hare
been better for nature to give him a
white skin; that he would have been
-moro comfortable so; but he would
“not. * i
Tho reason fs this: A white skin
scorches and blisters under a hot sun,
but a black skin does not, for it ab-
sorbs the rays and carries tne heat
beneath. So far as bodily comfort is
concerned there is all the difference
in the world between a scorched skin
and one that is not scorched, and,
therefpre, the black man is better fit-
ted t@ withstand the equatorial heat,
If you will bear this in mind until
next summer you may make a simple
Boe ee BUR
side c3 It, Make your experiment on
@ day when the sun {s hot enough to
make a thaw, and you will find, after
awhile, that the snow under the black
cloth has melted more than that un-
der the white cloth, which shows that
‘the heat is absorbed by the black
cloth and carried beneath it,
You “have often‘ heard it sald that
the planters of the south must have
Negroes to work In their cotton fields
because they can stand the heat bet-
ter than white men canp and now yor
understand it—Exchange.

Colonizing Negroes In Philippine
: {slands Under Discussion.
Senator Morgan’s plan to colonize
the Philippine Islands with Negroes
from the United States, has becn
overshadowed in the public interest
at Washington by only one subject—
the war in Venezuela. Not only has
the plan been discussed by southern
congressmen, who, of course, are vi-
tally interested in tho Negro question,
but northern senators and representa-
lives und the leading newspapers in
the cast Lave taken the Alabama sen-
ater’s plan up and are discussing it
With considerable vigor. ;
There is apposition to the coloniza-
tion scheme. Among the opponcnts
already on record are Senator Pettus,
of Alabama; Senator Tillman, of
‘onth Carolina, and Senator Money,
cf Mississippi. The viows of .ue op-
position indicate that thelr jdislike
arises from the cost of such‘a plan
to the government or to the large
number of ga.ps it would require to
transport the Nesroes. These Views
were related to Senator Morgan and
he answered them by pointing _out
that his plan contemplated no cost to
the government and he believed the
segroes themselves would build ships
engueh to accammodate the gradual
emigration, which he believed would
soon begin.
As a matter of fact, the criticism of
the plan Is eomewhat belated. The
colonization scheme {s already well
under way. It is believed Senator
Morgan got it started in a small way
over a year ago. He wrote, at that
time, letters to the war department
asking that the Negro regiments scrv-
ing in the United States army In the
Philippine islands be discharged over
there, with commutation rations is-
sued them so that they might stay
there or come bome as they pleased.
This was done, it is salé, with a num-
ber of Negro companies, and many
of the Negroes stayed in the Philip-
pine islands. It is a fact, therefore,
that American Negroes are now in
the Islands, and it is believed that one
of the missions T. Thomas Fortune is
expected to perform is an investiga-
tion of these colonists and a report
to the war department on their pro-
gress and general condition, It {&
even probable that some way will
soon be devised by tne war depart-
ment by which the colonists’ wives
-and families will be sent over to them.

‘Porsum Made All Equal.
A dispatch from De Moines, Ia.,
says: The annual possum dinner of
“Jef” Logay, the veteran Negro jan-

by every politician and business man
of prominence in Des Moines. Every

The feature of the postprandial ora-

CONGRESS RESUMES BUSINESS
Lively Tilt Between Speaker Hender
son and Bartlett, of Georgla.
Senate Routine.
A Washington special says: Con-
gress resumed its session Monday af-
ter the holiday recess. A lvely in-
eldent occurred in the houso when
Representative Bartlett, of Georgia,
rebelled against Speaker Henderson's
refusal to recognize him and ke gave
the speaker some warm talk.
‘The general army staff bill was un-
der discussion and Hull, of Iowa, had
the floor. Mr. Bartlett arose to ask
him a question and Mr. Hull paused
to hear him. After Mr, Bartlett arose,
Warner, a republican, of Illinois,
arose. Speaker Henderson was at-
tempting to recognizé Warner, but
Hull Interrupted to say he had yield-
ed to Mr. Bartlett.
“The gentleman from Georgia has
not asked for recognition,” said the
speaker. “The gentleman from Illl-
nois will proceed.”
Mr. Bartlett advanced a few feet
down the aisle,-highly indignant, _
“I ask for recogntion,” he cried,
“and I don't propose to be criticised
by the speaker in any such manner.”
“The gentleman will be seated,” or-
dered Henderson.
“I will not be seated, replied Bart-
lett. “I asked for recognition and de-
mand it.”
The speaker grew red in the face,
hesitated in confussfod, while a mur-
mur of approval for Bartlett's nervy
stand went over the house.
Finally the speakér wilted,
“The gentleman from Georgia will
Proceed,” he said benignedly,, “The
speaker apologizes for not hearing
him ask for recognition.”
‘Mr. Bartlett, thereupen, went back
to his seat and proceeded to discuss
the bill with Mr. Hull.
The Georgian {s the only man in
congress who has rebelled sirenous-
ly against Henderson's decisions.
The scene recalled the days o1 Reed’s
rulings. .
‘As soon as the scnato met Tues-
day, Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts,
gave notice that he would address the
senate Tuesday on his anti-trust bill.
Senator Lodge Introduced a bill
suspending for a period of 90 days the
duties on coal imported into the
United States.
Senator Mason, of Illinois, intro-
duced a bill to provide for temporary
operation of coal mines, It provides
that hereafter, whenever sny coal
mine Is inoperative and continues to
be inoperative to the prejudice of the
rights of the people, itshall be the
duty of the attorney general to ap-
ply to any judge of a United States
court for a recciver for che mine and
operate same.
My, Culberson, of Texas, introduced
@ joint resolution providing for the
admission of anthracite coal free of
duty. He said there was a great
scarelty of coal and this would tend
to relieve the people who now were
suffering for fuel.
He asked for immediate considera-
tion of the resolution, but Mr. Platt,
of Connecticut, objected, saying there
was no duty on anthracite coal. Mr.
Vest, of Mistourl, denied this state-
ment, saying the construction of the
Jaw was such as ta Impose a duty,

General Attack on . Combines
Starts Up in the Senate.
HOAR DELIVERS A BROADSIDE
Venerable Massachusetts Senator
Makes Interesting Argument
+ Against Monopolles—Vest
Scores the Coal “rust.
Tuesday ia the senate was eventful
because of a notable speech by Sena-
tor Hoar on his bill regulating trusts
and the attack by Senator Vest on
Protected industries through the op-
eration of the Dingley law. ,
Senator Hoar'’s speeca was devoted
entirely to the question of trusts and
partly fo an explanation of Wis recent:
ly Introduced ‘anti-trust bill. He be-
gan his address with the assumption
that all thoughtful men are agreed
as to the necessity of legislation, state
or national, for the control of trusts.
He said that as yet there had been
only apprehension and alarm, but no
serious injury except “in the case of
the recent’ coal strike on account of
the trusts. On the contrary, the pro-
gress of our material prosperity had
been greater In the past tew years
than ever before had een known and
our workmen were better off. Still
there is, he said, actual peril and it
is none the less real because it, in-
volves only the future and not the
present,
‘The scnator then took up the dis-
cussion of the effect of the control of
vast wealth by individuals, saying that
in‘such a system there was much to
thfeaten republican nberty. Most of
the fortunes of the present day have
been accumulated in thirty years.
“Is there anything. to render it un-
likely,” he said, “that If One of these
vast fortunes has grown from a hun-
dred thousand to a hundred miliion or
a thousand million in thirty years,
‘that in the hands of tnd next posses:
sor in another thirty or {fty years the
hundred million may become a hun-
dred thousand milifon or the thousand
million a thousand thousand million?
“Is there anything to stop the ac-
cumulation of these snow bails? Can-
not the same power and business abil-
ity and capital that control all the pe-
troleum In the country by and by con-
tcl all the coal? Can-{t not cony
tro] the railroad and the ocean carzy-
ing trade? Can it not buy up and
hold in one man’s grasp the agricultu-
ral and grazing lands of new and great
states and the coal mines and silver
mines ‘and copper mincs?”
But great as were the possibilities
of the accumulation of great wealth
of individuals he did not find in such
)accumulation the same peri that fs
‘found in corporate control of such
.wealth. This was true, he said, be-
cause the natural man dies and his
estate is distributed under the law,
while the corporation lives forever.
| “It mever goes through the probate
court,” he said. “It's internal trans-
actions are kept secret. it 1s not zeal-
ous for its own honor or reputation
“except so far as its honor or reputa-
tion is essential to its getting money.
It has no soul and no conscience. In
general, the men who are most pow-
erful in its management can, if they
see fit, avold responsioility to public
opinion. They always expect td avoid
personal Iability for obligations.”
‘Mr. Hoar then took up the question
of the trusts as they now exist, point-
ing out what he conceived .o be their
chief evils.
| The senator said iat now the great
corporations are in gocd hans, but
suppose a Napoleon of finance should
come into the control of a thousand
million dollars, wou.d not that possl-
bility be a real public danger? Such
power can make wars or IC can pre-
yent wars. It can threaten a com-
‘munity with a coal famine, a wheat
famine, and it can execute its threats.
He had no fear but that the American
‘people could meet suen emergencies,
‘but it were better to forestall taem.
Vest on Coal Trust.
Senator Vest used as 2 text for his
‘remarks bis resolution, introduced
Monday, instructing the committeo
on finance to prepare and report a bill
‘removing the duty on coal. Feeble
in the extreme, and supporting bim-
self on his desk, he called attention
to the condition of distress which had
arisen as a result of the shortage in
the coat supply. ‘There was breath-
less silence jn the chamber as he
spoke and every senator on the floor
turned in his direction, in order to
catch his words. He sald that the
question was no Ionger a partisan one,
put one of humanity, and that we are
-not on the verge-of a crisis, but act-

ph td a arnt detente
Several of the chapters have fuiled
to report their enduwments to the
Grand Secretary. Do so at once.
We have received several commu-
nications for this column, but on ac-
count of our crowded condition we
cannot at present publish them.
The Eastern Star Chapters must
each send in their donations for the
furnishing of the home to Royal
Gravd Matron, Mrs. Viola E. Hart
at Americus. Do so at once.-
A fine Chapter of the Order of the
Eastern Star was recently organized
in Dublin, Our worthy Bro. J.J.
Jenking did much to foster this or-
ganization. He is a good Mason and
‘it is hoped that he and the other
‘brethren will encourage the sisters
to make their chapter a grand suc-
cess. “
As thia begins a new year for the
lodges, each officer must look for-
ward to make a grand report next
June. They must not forget the
claims of the Widows and Orphans
Home, and if their lodges have not
one their duty they muet see to it
that it is immediately done by for-
warding the assessments to Bro.
Spencer.
Grand Master Butler will visit the
lodges in this city on Jan. 21. That
will be the meeting night of the
mother lodge. Grand Muster But-
ler’s coming is hailed with much de-
light by the bretbren heére and he
will be givea in our modest way a
hearty reception. The brethren in
Savannah are in hearty accord with
fhe administration of the Grand
Master and commend him for his
‘conservative, yet effective manner
fn which he is conducting affairs:
We aré hoping that his visit will be
one of great inspiration.

A New Departure.
A NEW DEPARTMENT
On the first of January one of the desires of THE TRIBUNE and other race lovers was realized by the opening of the savings department of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company. As has been stated in these columns, this institution is now in its third year. It was inaugurated under favorable auspices and its growth has been of such a nature that all who have kept apace with it are sanguine of it being one of the staunchest financial institutions in the city. The managers are competent business-men of experience, and this they have placed in the institution which has caused it to be what it is at present.
At the opening of the savings department there was a rush of depositors, many wanted the honor of being among the first ones to show confidence in a Negro institution. Arrangements are made to also enable the children to deposit their pennies or larger amounts. Punch cards are issued to any who applies for them and credit will be given when it is returned for depositing.
The several benevolent institutions and individuals will be appealed to for deposits. Those already approached are favorable to the institution and if the present sentiment prevails, before the year ends a showing will be made that will cause the most timid to have full confidence in the ability of members of the race to conduct financial institutions.
The directors of the institution do not alone appeal to the citizens to give a part of their deposits on which they will receive two per cent more interest than they would in any bank, but to also purchase shares in the institution.
As has been stated before, the directors are each citizens of standing and property, and the secretary and treasurer, and clerk have given ample bond for the faithful discharge of their duties. The public is invited to visit the office at No.20 State street, west.
The Proffession Increased.
The Profession Increased.
Col. E. M. Morse, a recent graduate from the Law Department of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., has been admitted to the bar in Atlanta, after standing satisfactorily the required examination which was very rigid and catchy, and was without the shadow of a successful contradiction, the hardest examination ever given in the state. He is also a graduate of Jeruel Academy; and was the brightest member of his class. He ranks among the best in all he attempts to do. He practices that which he teaches, that is to do well, that which he would do at all. Col. Morse is a brilliant and an energetic young man of many desirable accomplishments. He has always spent his time very profitably; trying to acquire a knowledge of everything that is good and helpful. As a teacher, he is peer to any of the leading ones. And as a writer and orator he is not excelled; and in the composing room he is the finest. He is a model Christian and a credit to his race. We wish him an extended practice and abundant success. Col Morse will hang his shingle in the city of Savannah.—Athens Clipper.
Mr. Morse comes to Savannah highly recommended and we predict for him at this point much success. The field is large and we welcome him to Savannah. We commend him too on securing the partnership of Mr. A. L. Tucker. This will be a strong team and will fully represent the intelligence and oversight of the colored citizens of Savannah. We commend this firm to the good people of Savannah as worthy in any respect of their confidence.
The Savannah colony of colored physicians has been added to by the coming of Dr. J. H. King, who has been here nearly two weeks and is now located at No. 524 Stewart street.
Dr. King is a graduate of the medical department of Howard University, Washington, D. C. He has been connected with the hospital for several years, the training in which gives him peculiar fitness for his profession. The doctor is a Georgian and has several relatives in this city. He extends a cordial invitation to the public in passing to stop in and see him. His office hours are from 8 to 11 a.m., 2 to 3 and 5 to 8 p.m.

Why He Kissed the Maid.
She was a dainty little maid that he kissed on the corner that night. She ran n the yard and up the steps as lightly as the butterfly passes from flower to flower. He always kissed her goodnight under the tree at the corner, because he liked to watch her trim little figure in its spotless clothes as she ran in the yard and up the steps. As she waited for the door to open she smiled back at him and said "And when we are married we will always have our washing done at the Peerless Steam Laundry, for they do the loveliest work in the city "And they did" 206 Park Ave East, Bell Phone 1575.

SECRET OF DIGESTION.
Experlments on a Dog Produced Curl
ous and “Interesting - Results,
Some experiments. on a dog con
cerning"the effects of personal lking
for various foods on the digestion were
secontly made by a well-known sclent-
ist, ‘Tho results are curious and In.
teresting. : ’
It was found that the: articles of
dfet which the animal war particular-
ly fond of met with a great flow of the
gastric julces, and were nccordingly
digested better and more quickly. For
purposes of observation the gullet of
the dog was cut in sections and fixed
to the neck, so thet the food it ate
fell through; the stomach of the an!-
mal was also divided into two por-
tions, into one of which no food was
allowed to enter, the other being sup-
plied only with the food necessary to
Ife.
If some tempting dainty was held
before the dog and’ho evinced the
usual signs of pleasure in the expected
treat, it was noticed that at once the
stomach juices sprang into play, al-
though te food when swallowed did
not reach the stomach at all. On the
other hand, if he was fed with some-
thing which h® evidently dld not have
any preference for there wag no ac-
tion of the gastric fluid,
Also, more’ curious still, when food
was {ntroduced, unknown to the ani-
mal, into the working half of his stom-
ach it iay there absolufely dry and
untouched by the digestive julces for
seyeral- hours, even though the food
were of the most digestible sort.
All of which proved conclusively
that mere thought or favorable brain
action of any sort concerning the food
eaten not only assisted the digestion,
but partly caused it. Professor Paw-
low, who made the experiments, thinks
this partly, at least, explains why men
of Jetters are often dyspeptic. Their
minds ‘are busy with things far re-
moved from their dinners when they
are cating. -The connection between
the nerve which sends the Important
message down to the digestive ma
chinery belows for more_oil and the
Patient engineer of nutrition {s cut
off.| So when unexpected orders for
deglutition come piling in upon them
they are rot ready and the work is
bungled.—New York Herald.
= PART OF THE BLUFF.
“Way,” she finally ventured to
‘falter, “do you look so sad when we
are sitting thus?”
“Because,” he answered, gazing tend-
erly down into her troubled eyes, “a
man always looks sad when he holds
a lovely hand.”
She was something reassured, al-
though she did not altogether under-
stand—New York Herald.
REASON FOR DELAY.
“But if you love me, Madeline, why
set the happy day two years away?”
“Because, Horace, it will take me
tully that long to use up my mono-
gram stationery.”

Was a Fair Fight With no Favor
On this occasion amateurs of the
crack cavalry regiments acted as pica-
dors, and were mounted on thorough-
bred polo ponies. ‘The riders wore no
protecting armor, and their ponieh
Were not blindfolded. They attacked
the bull only after he bad first charg-
@d them, and then their alm was to
Kill him from in front by a thrust of
a Spear over his horns and down to his
heart, and at the game instant to lift
thelr ponfes out of danger. The blade
of each lance was sufficiently long to
reach the heart, but the staff was too
brittle to serve as any protection to
the man who carried It. The officers
gave an exhibition, which was a com-
Dination of tent-pegging and polo, with
a mad bull weighing a thousand
pounds and armed with horns two fect
long. as the tent-peg, or the polo-ball.
But they reached his heart, suecess-
fully escaping ‘from the points of tiie
horns by less than three inches. It
was the most reckless and sportsman-
Wke performance {maginable. The
‘work, of the professfonal picador In
comparison was as sportsmanlike as
that of the man who sticks pigs at a
rork-packer’s, and about as dangerous.
In the game as played by the offl-
cers, which ig the game as it tas play-
ed when bull-fighting was lMmited to
the farms and ranches, the man actu
ally does stake hfs life against the Ilfe
of the animal. He Has no advantage
over It; his lance is no sharper than
its horns, and when the bull makes
one of Sts suddea, furfous dashes, no
pony is more swift, Also the man of-
fers the bull a target as large as his
pony and himself, while he, {n order
to Kill, must bit a mark on the bull's
back no larger than a playing-card.
And the only moment when he can
strike 1s when he fs directly 12 front
of the bull, and It has its head lowered
and is charging him. His 1s certainly

A QUALIFIED PROPOSAL.
Arabella’s eyes wandered wistfully
along the shore to the rocky promon-

stood.
“How beautiful it fs!” she sald to
Jim Lackpeniy, who sat beside her.
“Do you know, Jim, before I dle I be-
Ueve ’d lke to keep'a Ighthouse some-
