Teo Much Preaching and Spirit of Meekness Among the Backs, Says a New York Preacher Who fought on the Monitor. New York,—Bishop William Benjamin Derrick, presiding bishop the last seven years of the New York diocese of the A. M. E. Church, one of the most aggressive and active men of the Negro race in America, declared yesterday that he is tired of America and yearns for the land of his forefathers in Africa. He made this announcement in a speech to the New York conference and the general conference will soon assign a new bishop to take his place. Mob attacks, lynchings and the burning of negroes are too much for him. He said: "Forty-two years ago I stood ankle-deep in blood in the fight between the Merriamac and Monitor, and the blood of my comrades flew upon me as they were slaughtered in the defense of this nation, and yet the nation, although we fought to save the American flag, declares that we are not citizens, and affords us no protection. We cannot but help feeling badly over the situation. This is no country for us. I do not advocate retaliation, but we stand up manfully and protest, and appeal to the few friends that we have left to see to it that we get justice, since we are here. "They tell me this a land of Christianity and civilization, when here those who are supposed to be the leaders of religion and civilization will take a woman and burn her at the stake and then murder her husband. We cannot win by preaching too much peace and brotherly love, for as soon as the Negro shows too much of this spirit the white man says he is a coward. The manly man strikes back. We demand manhood rights, not black manhood rights nor white manhood rights. I do not ask for social equality or amalgamation, but for our own choice of selection as to taste and fitness. I want everything that any other man may have. But the white man cannot be just to us because he has in him none of the spirit of Christ." —K. C. Star. THERE IS NO NEGRO STATE RES PUBLICAN LEAGUE. From the American Eagle, we learn that one Robert Beasley, chairman of the executive committee of the Negro State Republican League, has issued a call for a meeting to be held in Kansas City, March 21, 1904, for the purpose of electing officers SEDALIA, MISSOURI, PRIDAY, MARCH 25 1904. for the ensuing year and attending to the business before the League. When was such an organization perfected? When did the Negro voters of the State of Missouri elect Robert Beasley chairman of such an organization? When was this State ever paroled by deputies, whose purposes were to organize the Negro voters into Republicans clubs and then align them to the Republican party? That is the work of the Missouri State Republican Committee, and as yet it has not sent out any organizers. Hence there is no Negro Republican League in the State. Now where does this fellow Beasley get his authority to call together a body that does not exist? We have noticed this one fact, that just before a national campaign, some Negro will pop up and call a meeting of a fake Negro State Republican League, when said Negro knows full well that no such organization exists. And the other misty thing is that such meetings are always called for either St. Louis or Kansas City. We also notice that when the white Leagues have their meetings the delegates set up their claims, respectfully, praying for the honor of entertaining the league on its next meeting, and the victorious one wins and the place of meeting is set. But it is not so in this case, for there are no delegates, excepting those from St. Louis and Kansas City. Central Missouri has no delegates, nor South-West Missouri—none from anywhere save St. Louis and Kansas City. The presumption of the intelligent voter is that a few men from these named places, get together and form plans, for themselves, thus: "we shall go to the Republican bosses and tell them that the Negro voters are on the fence and we can pull them off on the bosses' side if they will pay for the trouble, and so forth." And judging the present and future by the past, this presumption is about truth, if not wholly so. The Negro voters of Missouri shall not give any notice to what this so-called league concocts, but shall let the tricksters reap in the future, trouble for the pocket change they are now filching from the hands of the of the Republican party managers and promising in return for it the franchise of 80,000 Negro voters in the State—a thing impossible for any body of men to do, for of the 80,000, a goodly number are democrats and middle-of-the-roaders, and so on, there are Negro voters in every party, whether significant or insignificant. Now who is Robort Beasley? We have never before heard of him nor anything he has ever done--he is unknown. What has he ever done, for the Negro voters of Missouri, that won for him the high honor of chairmanship of the executive committee of the Negro State Republican League (which does not exist?)

To all Grand Lodge Officers, D. D. G. C.'s, Members of Subordinate and I. O. O. C. of our beloved Domain: GREETING: In obedience to the proclamation issued by the Supreme Chancellor, and in pursuance to our time honored custom, it becomes my duty to announce, that in view of the fact that we have had an exemplary year of prosperity, and the bestowal of many blessings, it now devolves upon us collectively as an order, to raise our hearts in praise to the Almighty Architect of the universe for his divine guidance through the conflicts of life during the past year. Let us hope that the bright and dawning future will throw such a glare of light upon us that it will lift every settled fog of hinderance and reveal to us an open sea and a clear blue sky for our future sailing. Therefore, the power by mevested as Grand Chancellor of the Jurisdiction of Missouri, I do hereby ordain Sunday, the 27th day of March, 1904, as a day of devotional services, upon which occasion every Pythian in our beloved state is hereby called upon to assemble in some house of worship in due and reverent observance of same. Sec. 3. It shall be unlawful for any Subordinate Lodge to hold such services on any day other than that fixed by the proclamation of the Supreme Lodge, except a dispensation is first obtained to do so from the Grand Chancellor. For the purpose of promptly and properly complying with the proclamation, each lodge at its first meeting in Morch will appoint committee who will make all necessary arrangements. It is hoped that suitable arrangements will be made by the officers of our Uniform Department, to be out in full force with us on this occasion. The widow's mite (10 per cent.) from anniversary collections for Mrs. Clarissy Mumford (widow of the founder of the order in Missouri) should not be overlooked. Given under my hand and seal this 99th day of February, 1904, and Pythian Period XL. W. A. GUNNELL, G. K. of R. S. GOOD MANNERS IN BUSINESS. The value of brains in business cannot be over estimated, of course. But neither can the value of manners. Don't make the error of supposing that brains are everything. You may have the best set of brains in the town, but if you haven't the manners of a gentleman nobody is going to appreciate you. Your manner is the outward indication of what you are within, in the estimate of most people, and if the manner is disagreeable few will take the trouble to examine into you any further. The concensus of general opinion is that the man who goes about with porcupine quills as his manners hasn't any brains worth bothering about. Did you ever notice that the men who employ large forces of intelligent people look at an applicant closely, ask a few seemingly unimportant questions, and promptly employ or dismiss him. They don't sound his brain depth; they don't obtain his biography; they don't inquire into his social standing; they size him up from his manners, and if he is brass on the surface they don't look for gold within. The employer knows that if an applicant's manner strikes him favorably it will also favorably strike people with whom he comes in contact in his work. And nobody knows better than a big business man that a favorable first impression means half the sale. People are apt to think that if there is any place where manners are of little consequence, it is in business where cold calculation so largely takes the place of feeling. But the truth is that nowhere else are manners of such importance as in everyday dealings.—Prof. World. SOUTHERNERS HONOR A NEGRO Columbus Ga.-A marble monument has been erected by this city to the memory of Bragg Smith, the Negro laborer who lost his life last September in a heroic but fruitless effort to rescue City Engineer Robert L. Johnson from a street excavation accident: On one side is an inscription setting forth the facts, while on the other is chiseled this legend: Act well your part; there all the honor lies. Requires 400 Days to Sweep Agricultural Building. Thirteen months and five days would be required for one man to sweep the floor of the Agricultural building at the World's Fair. This means that it would take one man twenty days to sweep the space occupied by the Missouri agricultural exhibit or that it would require a force of twenty men sweeping continuously to keep the Missouri space clear of rubbish. The bulk of the space, however, will be occupied with exhibits, so that it is estimated a force of ten men can sweep the Missouri space in one night. At this rate it will necessitate a force of 200 men to sweep the Agricultural building each day during the World's Fair. The Missouri state exhibit in agriculture occupies 25,000 square feet of floor space. Dr. H. C. Waters, the Superintendent in charge of the state exhibit says that the Missouri show will surpass all others in matter of quality as well as in prominence of position and in extent of space occupied.

White, for an individual to combat for mastery when the odds are over whelmingly against them is con- nidered fool-hardiness, Of the ‘inflammatory utterances of many Negro ministers, editors and leaders, who advocate retaliatory measures, when the race is made ‘a victim of mob violence, it may be justly called fool-hardiness instead of bravery. Neither can ‘it be adjudged cowardice in a people to submit to injustice when they and the world know ‘that enviroments are such as if they should resist with force, ut- ‘ter annihilation would result. ‘During the recent rioting in ‘Springfield Ohio, an official body of Negroes in the West, sent messages to the Negroes of Springfield that they would af- ford bodily aid if they but re. quested it and urged them to meet lawlessness with lawless- negs? It is conclusively true ‘that two negatives are equivalent to one affirmative but we have ‘Mever thus far seen in print or heard it asserted that lawless- ness can be suppressed by law- essness. Hence in that partic- eae instance the advice of the incendiary was wrong, emphat- ically wrong. Would it not be much more wiser in the leaders of the two to advise against the causes that has often precipate mob violence rather then sound the “call toarms,” after a worth- leas Negro has committed a grave offense against the dignity ofthe state? We know many say there are courts and laws sufficient, ifimpartiaily executed to punish the most flagrant of- fenders of the law. It is grant: ed by usthat such is true but may it not also, be conceded that jsince the law, in its application toward the Negro, is completely abrogated in numerous local - ‘ties in this Repubile. (We would not have have any one to surmise that we believe such to be just, honorable or right. Never-the- less we are impelled by irrepu- table evidence to acknowledge its verity) And, since such is true, it 1s foolish to advise our people to rise with the rifle and bludgeon, when a member of the race, who has committed a grave crime, is mobbed. Far more sensible would it be to educate the Negro mind above the com- misson of crimes that bring dis- aster upon the individual and shame on the community. Let the enterprising energetic ele- ment of Negros in all communi- tes deport themselves as men then if one of their number should be sought out as a victim for mob vengeance, let them stand as a u- nit for the preservation of our best. We must cease to clamor over the harsh treatment meted out to the worthless-scalawag element of our race.

The exhibitions of mob fury witnessed in the town of Spring- fiela, O., Monday and Tuesday nights are sisaply amazing. Even in the Southern states, where race prejudice is strongest and where the provocations of hostili- ty are much more frequent, there have been few instances of such extreme brutality and wanton de- struction of properity. And it may also be said that in the whole South there is probably nota city ot the size of Springfield that would not have shown greater Fonlatane to the mob than has been exerted in Ohio. It might have been presumed that such a demonstration of law- less vengeance on the part of such a large number of rioters would have been wholly impossible in the State of Ohio, which is pre- sumed to embody the individual conservatism of the Kast with the administrative energy of the West. Hut that such things can be in such a state «s Ohio, and in such an old, settled town as Springfield, is a new evidence of the profound gravity of the race problem in the United States. A worse calamity to Springfield can hardly be imagined. The town will suffer vastly more than the Negro class on which it re- venged itgelf. The Negroes have lost their homes, but the com- munity has forfeited its good name. The black people are fill. ed with righteous indignation, but the white element must soon be overwhelmed with shame. If the members of this mob are not mere brutes, possessing none of the sensibilities of refined char- acter, they have lost forever what should be most cherished of men, their self-respect. ‘The culpability of Sheriff Rout- zhan stands out conspicuously in this tragic affair. With him rests 4 @ ARE YOU AK. OP? | If Not, Why Nott ey Do you not know that the Knights of Pythias is the strongest and most progressive order of the age? The four departments of the order are as follows: SUBORDINATE LODGE__.» In this the members are united to care for and protect each other in health as well as in sick- ness and distress, UNIFORM RANK gage In this department our young men are receiv- ing a military education which they can get in no other way, thus making them better and more useful citizens, LADIES COURT_s In this the wives, mothers, widows, daughters and sisters of Knights are united for the cem- mon purpose of life, ENDOWMENT.

W. Lloyd, 2629 Lucas Ave., St. Louis, Mo., for terms upon which to organize a Knights of Pythias Lodge. the chief responsibility for the extremes to which the mob has gone. The Negro murderer went to him for protection, and he had the power to save him. He failed to perform the duty his oath of office imposed. He permitted the prisoner to be taken from the jail and killed. Not a shot was fired in his defense. It was Sheriff Routzhan’s sworn duty to protect the Negro, no matter what hie crime may have been, and even if the officer's own friends were in the fron! rank of the assulting mob. If hv had showna det: rmi- nation to do his duty it is wholly improbable that he would have been obliged to use arms to keep the mob back. Through his cowardice a prisoner who would have been duly punished by pro- cess of law was put todeath by violence, and therein was the cause of the race conflict that has resulted in the burning of a large part of the city and the menacing of the whole town. On the other hand the promptness with which Governor Herrick responded to the call for troops must be moat heartily commended. Ex.

Mr, Hanna Stood Like a Stone Wall in Defense of a Protective ‘Tariff. ‘The death of Mr, Hanna, in the opinion of the Portland Oregonian, deprives the ‘standpatters of thelr strongest cham- pion. Speaking of the movement for lowering certain tariff rate, it aye: __tActoas the path of every’ step in this re- formatory direction Senator Hanna stood like a stone wall He said that the tart should never be changed so long as he had power to prevent it” Mr. Hanna was the author of the ad- uration to stand pat as applied to the tariff issue, and meant all he said at that time and later, says the Washington Star. How much longer, had he lived, he would have stood out against tariff re- vision 18 a question. He well under- stood that the subject was coming up at the republican national convention for ‘an expression in the platform, and that republican success next fall would mean an effort in the next congress to lower certain duties that are no longer needed by the industries now profiting by them. He might have continued his opposition, He might, on the other hand, have come to see the advisability of following the advice which his friend and leader gave the party and the country in bie last speech at Buffalo. The tariff revision proposed under what fs called the “Iowa dea” has for its best indorsement what Mr. McKin- ley left as a legacy to the people on that | subject. Nothing beyond that is pro- posed. Nothing within that scope can possibly be hurtful. Mr. McKinley knew the tariff from A to Z, He had watched the operations of the Dingley law with the closest attention and with the hearti- ost pride and satisfaction. He had seen ail of his own tariff views, as well as his election to the presidency, vindteated by the law. It te not to be supposed for @ | moment, therefore that he would have | made bis Buffalo speech if he had not | thought the matter out and convinced | himself that the time for a limited re- | vision of the law had arrived. Will | there be the slightest danger in under- | taking in the early spring of 1906 what | Mr. McKinley advised and thought | could safely be done in the spring of | 19027 He died in the fall of 1901, and we may belleve that had he been spared | he would have called the attention of | congress to the subject in his next men- | sage. | Mr, Hanna, as we all know, was not an authority on the tariff ae Mr. McKin- |ley was. He was a sagacious business man and knew his own “line” thorough- |(. So that his adjuration to etand pat | has not, or should not have, the call upon | our attention that the advice of Mr. Mc: | Kinley has, or should have, {n dealing | with a question of such farreaching im- portance. Mr. Bryan while in New York on his latest visit met neither Mr, Hill, who 18 for Judge Parker, nor Mr. Murphy, who is for Mr. Cleveland. He did meet Norman HE. Mach, who is trying w unite the democratic factions in the state, and he spent an bour with May~ or McClellan, who has a presidential lightning rod up, The New York situ- ation is puzsling everybody, and Mr. Bryan is probably wise in picking his path there with extreme care.

The American Eagle announces that a meeting of the Negro State League has been called to meet in Kansas City on March 21st. We would like to know who composes this so-called state league. The fact of the matter is there is no Negro State League in Mo. except what is on paper. There are a few political grafters who bob up during campaigns and claim to be officers of the Negro State League with no other object in view save to humbug some one out of money and they should be set down on and exposed to the world. St. Louis claims to have the president of the Missouri State League, Kansas City claims the same, but these presidents never call meetings until just before the campaign. We have had enough of such political trickery. NORTH SIDE MEAT MARKET. Dealers in fresh and smoked meats of all kinds. FISH & GAME in season. You will find our prices right. Call and give us a trial.

Because a man buys hogs, or keeps an up-to-date bakery, is no reason why he should make a good office holder, it takes a man who can see the future to man-manage for people. A race enterprise is one owned by (colored) race men, operated by (colored) race men, and employ (colored) boys and girls of the race. Is that the way yours is conducted? Wm.

She called to our office, and of course, her pleasantness makes us always glad to greet her. Long live Mrs. Scott. Just before election, a wagon drives up to a crossing, dumps out a few brick-bats, another likewise, empties a load of clay into a mud hole, and nothing more is done until about time for the next city election. Down in St. Louis, its an honor for a man to play "bully," and go out to shoot up the other fellow, and get shot up, for the ladies will come to his aid, and if he dies, they will write long verses about him and have an editor run it on his first page. Mr. Wm. Brown, the fruit grower, of Georgetown, was in our office Saturday, and reports that there will be about 20 per cent of a peach crop this year, and that the strawberry crop will be good. He also paid up his subscription for the Conservator. There seems to be an unfavorable sentiment in the second ward against the citizens ticket. As yet, everything seems quite in the first ward.

Work and Self-help A number of students boarding in the College are permitted to earn some part of their expenses by work in the building or on the grounds, provided they are wiling and efficient. Liberal pay is allowed for all work done, but employment will not be continued to those who fail to do their work satisfactorily. Most students earn in this way $2,000 a month, some earn larger amounts. Applicating for work should be made to the President in advance of coming. t. Liberal pay is one, but employ- ment to those who affactorily. Most pay $2 00 a month. A large number of students find employment in homes in the city, sufficient to meet expenses of board and tuition. The call for young ladies for these positions is always greater than the supply.
