Main Street Roosevelt and the Senate The United States Senate Committee on commerce decided to report adversely on the confirmation of Dr Crum who has been appointed by the Pgas dent as collector for the pora of Charleston, S. C. over the protest of the prejudiced whites of the south and two republicans are responsible for the committee's actions as the committee is republican by two majority but two republican Senators voted with the democrats, which means, however, Dr Crum will not be confirmed or that President Goosevelt's parry is not with him in his present dealings with the race problem. The Globe-Democrat has the following to say on the subject: 'Of course, the president'e position is that he beleived Dr Crum [is] fif for the office to which he is nominated, and as there is no legal or moral barrier against his attainment of the post, the nomination must stand until a full and fair vote by the Senate rejects it. The President acknowledges his responsibility for nominating. He will force the senate—the republican members as well as the democrats—to shoulder the responsibilities of defeating the nomination, if it is to be defeated. This is the the way the matter stands. Moreover, as the President seems to have made plain to some of the republican dodgers, the postponement of a decisive vote by the senate will settle the question. If the term eads without action by the senate, the appointment will be made during the recess, and Dr. Crum will serve in the office until next December, at least, unless congress should be called in extra and the senate should reject the nomination. The thing for the senatore to do, therefore, is to bring the matter to vote just as soon as possible, so as to settle it. Shuffling, evasion and dodging will not bring the incident to an end."

No doubt many of the colored voters will be surprised whem they learn the reason why that-a color- ed man has not been appointed as janitor of the court house. It wil’ be remambered that during the past campaign the colored voters were promised by some of the lead ing workers of our party, that if Mr C. E. Messerley and Gabe Al- beres were elected as county judg- es that connty court would then be republican and some good com- petent colored man would get the janitors job, So the election came and these two mea were elected along with other republicans, and they are now sarving the people, but no Negro janitor yet. When the question up it. was discovered that judge Albersof the Eastern district had pledged himself to the democrats to retain the present janitor, if they would not put up any opposition to him during his campaign for re-election, and as he had no opposition he will not break his pledge to consider any colored man for that job. So the chances for aNegro janitor -s_a!- ‘most hopeless, Judge Albers has proven to be no more nor less than a trader to his party and his hund- reds of Negro supporters in the eastern district, if this is true, He has no: only hurt himself politicail- ly, but by his actions he is trying to down his best friends, It was said in his campaign that he haa but little use for the Negro, and from all reports it seems to be about true. Let not the Negro voters take revenge upon the re- publican party nor any of its can- didates that may come up this or next spring for what Albers are now doing, but just wait a little white sand we will get another chance at him, the eastern district cannot elect himwithout the Ne- gro votes of Sedalia and must re. member this fact, THAT MIX CITIZLN TICKET. Did the citizen's ticket help the republican party last year Will it help the colored voters in appointments Will it give the masses and all classes a chance to vote for their choice as city fathers Is’nt it a real trust of a few men Has it did the people any good finnanually. Will it help either of the parties in the presidential election Wont is cause one are two Soc: ialist to be elected this spring. Is it the will of the people are just a few of them. Did the people select these {men to tell them who shall be the city f hers forever and ever, Ii we must elect our county of- ficers by party vote, why not con- tinue the same in the city.

In the manufacturing or jobbing business this is more likely to be true than not. The retail merchant needs a quicker, surer, less expensive method, and he finds it in daily and weekly newspapers. There is no method of advertising which costs so much and so little at the same time. While the expenditure may have to be greater in the newspapers, the amount of publicity received is doubly as great in proportion to the price as that to be had in any other way. An exact example will do more to make this clear and to prove it true. A shoe dealer on Sixth Avenue, New York, wished to advertise his store. He purposed sending out a series of circulars, one each month, for nine months. There were 5,000 circulars sent each time, and the cost for the series of nine, including postage, was about $600. For this sum he reached 5,000 people nine times. For the same amount of money he could have placed a five-inch ad in the Sunday issue of a paper having a guaranteed, sworn circulation of over 1,000,000 copies every issue for 39 issues, covering the same period that the distribution of his circulars did. Contrast the 45,000 circulation he secured by the circulars with the 4,000,000 circulation he could have had in the paper, and you'll see at once how great a mistake he made. There is no question about the fact that he would have received ten times the benefit from the newspaper advertising that he did from the circular. It is the only logical conclusion. Sometimes circulars are good, but whenever you are contemplating issuing one sit down and figure up the possibilities—see how much space and how much circulation the cost of the circular would buy in your best newspaper. You will find in every case that reason and common sense will be in favor of using the paper. By doing so you will reach nineteenth of the very people to whom you would address circulars, and you will reach ten times as many other people to whom your circular would not have gone at all. "A shoe dealer in York, wished to Copyright, Charles Austin Bates, New York. The two-pound rose-red of Rhodesia, 1890 issue, catalogues $30 in Sixtieth edition, is selling by London dealers at $11.50, and can be bought of the British South Africa company, in London, for face value—$9.74. A Melbourne paper announces that the £2 Victoria, long promised, has at last been issued. The stamp will not be used in appreciable quantities by the public, but it will, however, serve a useful purpose, when affixed to documents covering the issue of an equivalent number of circulars or papers, which will then only have to be branded: "Paid at Melbourne," instead of having stamps affixed to each one of them. While the descriptions of counterterfeits in the philatelic press have an admitted instructive value, yet it is known that they do not have so great an influence as is sometimes supposed. It seems that the average collector is not a stamp student who revels in the comparison of minute details—he does not take the time if he has it. He buys from reliable dealers and he feels safe in trusting to their knowledge. If at any time they are at fault and sell him a forgery, he knows that he will suffer no loss, but have his money or its equivalent refunded. The poor results attained in the printing of the new British stamps have led to the suggestion that the authorities in England make inquiries as to the relative merits and practicability of the two methods of stamp printing, surface and recess. Years ago, in England, the line engraving process was discarded in favor of typography, but the argument is now advanced that the successful application of steam printing to line-engraved plates (all the old British line-engraved stamps were hand-printed) has equalized the comparative cost of the process, and since the authorities seem to have given up the exclusive use of doubly fugitive colors—the washy purple and green—the arguments of the De La Rue, surface-printing, party have been sadly weakened. VARIOUS MATTERS Georgia fruit growers are claiming that the peach crop of their state yields more money to the producers than does the cotton crop. The two American cities in which the number of colored inhabitants is increasing most largely are Washington and Philadelphia. The registration of voters, except such as become of age between August 1 and election day in November, is now complete in Alabama, and it foots up 183,500, of whom 183,000 are white.

The kaiser of Germany is encouraging every effort toward the use of alcohol for lighting, fuel and power purposes, and under the stimulus of prizes offered to inventors and engine constructors it is being largely utilized in various ways. Alcohol is economically made from a number of products in Germany, and consequently the supply of it is very large. At a recent exhibition demonstrating the use of alcohol there were shown a number of motors, farming implements and similar things propelled by an alcohol flame. There were also lamps which displayed great efficiency. In a report recently made to Washington, Consul General Guenther writes from Frankfort that the chief of the fire department of Hanover has recently invented an alcohol firing apparatus, used in connection with an automobile fire engine, which is said to be very satisfactory in practice. The engine is driven to the scene of the fire by an alcohol motor, and while on the way the steam is gotten up by the new invention noted above so that the engine is ready for operation immediately on its arrival on the ground. Ordinarily it is necessary to keep the engine constantly fired in order that the steam supply may be immediately available. Otherwise much time is lost in getting up steam. BEAGLES WERE TINY DOGS. Diminutive Canines of Ancient Breed That Could Be Carried in a Glove. There is no question that the beagle is a very old breed. Early Roman accounts of England contain references to the beagle, even by name. Books published from about 1580 to 1610 describe several varieties of hounds, including "the little beagle which may be carried in a man's glove." That the miniature hound was extremely popular at the time was evident from Queen Elizabeth keeping a pack which were also said to be small enough to put in a glove, says the Country Life in America. This statement is frequently ridiculed when it is not understood that gloves of that period were not the present-day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly to the elbow. What became of those glove beagles we may surmise from what we know of the results of later attempts to maintain packs of beagles of eight to ten inches high, the result after some years, being weak puppies that fall short of the fine qualities of the little hunting dog when they are grown up. UNCLE SAM AS MISSIONARY. How the Unclean Places in Cuba Were Renovated by the American Authorities. Cuban cities, like Havana and Santiago, previous to the Spanish war, were great breeders of pestilence, and menaces to the world. Now yellow fever and smallpox have been practically stamped out, and the death rate in the island has decreased one-half, and was lower in Havana last winter than in New York, says the Woman's Home Companion. In Havana an engineer corps instituted a general system of housecleaning.
