The Appeal

THE APPEAL STEADILY CURS BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3-It corrects important errors on the ground. MARCUS WHITMAN'S RIDE VOL.17.NO.11. Prof. Edward G. Bourne of the department of history at Yale declares that the commonly accepted story of Marcus Whitman and his ride across the Mississippi in the winter of 1842-43 is nothing but a mere legend. He called attention to the matter at a recent meeting of the American historical society in Detroit, and in January he published his painting, *The Winter View*. His contention is that Whitman's ride had no political significance, but on the contrary was a religious errand purely, and played no part in saving the Oregon territory to the United States. His story of how Marcus Whitman, a missionary on the Pacific coast, rode across the continent and saved Oregon and the adjoining territory from the British. In 1842, Whitman's country was still in dispute according to the common version, the Hudson Bay company laid plans to bring in English settlers from the Red River country to strengthen the British title to Oregon. Whitman was dining at a trading post at Port Walla Walla, news came of the arrival of a colony of Canadians from the Red River country. The company subsulted, and a young priest eried: "Hurrah for Oregon! America is too late and we have got the country." Immediately Whitman realized that if Canadian immigration had begun, the authorities at Washington ought to know it, and a counter immigration ought to be promoted, so that when joint occupations were established, Americans would turn the balance in favor of the United States. In spite of protests, accordingly Whitman set out for the capital. His journey across the mountains in the middle of winter was a difficult one. Washington in the following March, just in time to secure the postponement of negotiations looking to the surrender of Oregon. "Incidental or collateral assumptions company the statement," says Prof. Bource, "ignorance and indifference in regard to Oregon prevailed in Washington and generally throughout the United States, and that Dr. Whitman was able to dispel the ignorance and to transform the indifference into a deep and widespread interest. "In both the essentials and the explanatory details the story of how Marcus Whitman saved Oregon is fictitious. It is not only without trustworthy contemporary evidence, but is irreconcilable with well-established facts. The story first recounts the years after the events, and seventeen years after the death of Whitman." For a main argument, Prof. Bourre asks us the records of the American board of commissioners for foreign missionaries of Oregon. Various letters and orders of the society at that time all go to show that Dr. Whitman came East in order to argue for the reversal of vote discontinuing the branch of the Oregon state. As to the man in Washington, says a New Haven letter to the New York Sun, Prof. Bourre so far has been able to find no trace of local contemporary evidence. Among the papers he has searched in the may be man of interest in the lionel lingerer and Nile's Register, although their pages for 1832 contain many insignificant items of Oregon news. Other sources of information alike silent are Curtis Adams, the governor, and vate Correspondence," the diary of John Quincy Adams, chairman of the house committee on foreign affairs; Benton's "Thirty Years' View," although Benton was a champion of Oregon, and Greenhous was a translator in the state department and collected a vast amount of information about Oregon. Likewise the "Life and Speeches of Senator Linn" of Missouri who was the most advanced testifier in the party, makes no reference to Whitman. Indeed, the only contemporary evidence of Dr. Whitman's activity in Washington which the professor has found is in a letter he wrote to the president after his return to Oregon. The letter was sent to the secretary of war, and accompanied a bill which Whitman had drafted to promote safe intercourse with Oregon. "In compliance with the request you did me the honor to make last winter while in Washington, I herewish transmits. In addition to this there is the testimony of what Mr. Whitman told a fellow emigrant on the return trip, A. L. Lovejoy. Lovejoy in 1876 gave his recollections as follows: "He often expressed himself to me about the manner in which he was received at Washington. . . . The doctor had several interviews with President Tyler, Secretary Webster and many memoirs of Oregon. He urged the immediate termination of the treaty with Great Britain relative to this country, and the extension to provide liberal inducements to emigrants to come to this coast." "**A** is probable," affirms anourne, "but there was nothing novel in it, because the Linn bill, which had passed the senate the month previous, all these objects in view. Lovejoy's spalding legend of Wiltown's having arrived in the nick of place to save Oregon. In the first place, Oregon was in no danger of being lost. The real danger was the government would be pushed by the Oregon legislature to impose an aggressive policy which might result in war with England. "When the Linn bill passed the senate Feb. 3, by a vote of 24 to 22, providing for the extension of the laws of the United States over the whole of the Oregon territory, there was not the slightest change in the laws, so the Senate would alienate the territory. The appearance of a solitary missionary in Washington advocating what a majority of the senate had already voted and what state legislatures were demanding in resolutions, would have been a threat to equal significance. That Washington influenced American diplomacy in any way that Washington is not only destitute of all evidence, but is intrinsically improbable. "the visit of Whitman in the East dispelled ignorance about Oregon or in- spired enthusiasm are equally without foundation. No doubt he could contribute to foundation. No doubt he could contribute to the widely circulated *Travels of Farman* by Greenhow's exhaustive history was being distributed as a public document; Premont was under commission to explore the conditions of Farman'sedition and explored the Columbia river and Parc声 sound regions two years earlater and was writing frequent reports to his superiors at Washington. The ignorance and indifference of the government and the public are Reflections of a later day" (1932). In 1932, Horace Geeley, and gave him an account of the conditions in Oregon; but in the interview no mention was made to the conditions in Oregon. In 1932, a political errand or an endorsement "Milteo mobile sentiment in favor of immigration. Nor do either of these projects receive any mention in the records of the American board at Boston. Nor do either of these projects receive any mention in the records of 1932. Dr. Whitman is nowhere mentioned as a leader. The missionary joined the emigration, but took no part in its formation. From St. Louis in May, 1932, he says: "I have made up my mind that it would not be expedient to take any families across this year except such as can go at this time. For that reason I have, with my duty to go on with the party, myself." In a letter to the secretary of war, received in June, 1841, Whitman wrote: "The government will now combine the efforts of the militia through your or by means of this communication of the immense immigration of families to Oregon which has taken place this year. With the emigration of these with the emigration of 1841," explains Prof. Bourne, "has been transformed by legend into the accomplishment of a previously announced purpose to organize and conduct such a body of emigrants. From the emigration of 1841, the man made no claim to have organized the emigration or to have rendered them services beyond encouragement and advice and guidance. The real force behind the emigration was the granting lands to settlers, which it was expected would pass congress in 1841." According to Prof. Bourne, the fictitious narrative originated with a colleague of Dr. Whitman at the Oregon mission, the Dr. Whitman, a terribile nervous and physical strain at the time of the Whitman massacre in 1817, and believed that the massacre was inexplicated by the Catholic missionaries, a reply from Father Brouillet, the vicar general of Walla Walla, and nine years later the Brouillet pamphlet was included by J. Ross Browne in an official report that he made on the cause of the Indian Although temperate in tone, the answer of Father Broutillet made assertions about the attitude of the Indians toward the Protestant missionaries and the cause thereof, which the missionaries regarded as slanders. Mr. Spalding then set out to investigate the missionaries on Protestant missions and the work of Whitman and the massacre, he accumulated a mass of material which he got published as an official document under the title "Early Labors of the Missionaries of the American Board of Foreign Missions," and this campaign, according to Prof. Bourne Spalding developed the legend of Marec Whiteman and his wonderful ride, because "nothing could more effectively catch the public ear or prepare the public mind for resentment against the Cahokia Indians." Upon the journey and gave especial proclaim to its political result. Concerning the trustworthiness of Spalding as a source of information Prof. Bourne has unearthed a letter written by W. H. Gray, who in October, 1840, sale of Spalding: "Duplicity is a trait in his character that never in all probability will change." It is alleged that Spalding was a United States citizen, Giljah White, a United States sub-Indian agent. White, on investigating the burning of a mission mil, reported in a letter in 1843, that Chief Featherstone "acknowledged that the mission was burnt purposefully by some disaffected persons toward Dr. Whitman." When extracts were quoted from the report by Spalding for his "Early Labora," the folio shows a large number of lumber and a great quantity of grain were burned by Catholic Indians, instigated by Romanists, to break up the Protestant mission, and prevent supplies on-on-emigration by Dr. Whitman. Again Elijah White quotes an old chief as saying in regard to the conference he was holding: "Clark pointed to this day, to you, and this occasion; we have long waited in expectation: sent three of our sons to it. It" Spalding changed the last clause to sent three of our sons to the rising sun to obtain the book from heaven," thus manufacturing first-hand information of the story of the Indians who came to St. Louis for the Bible. He wrote in the lingerie paper published in San Francisco, in the fall of 1885 first printed the commonly accepted story of Manus Whitman and his ride. Its first appearance in a formal history was in W. H. Gray's "History of Oregon" in in a Constitutional history of the United States, in the work of fessor, Hovel Notisted mention with some heational in 1881. Lyon G. Tyler presented it with some corrective comment in "Letters and Times of the Tylers." But the period of its widest diffusion general acceptance began in 1885 with the publication of Barrow's "Oregon." Then the legend was made the subject of a large number of newspaper and magazine articles. Among other vol- tuesdays, he attended the school histories of Seudur, Thomas Montgomery and Gordy, McMaster "With the Fathers," and also McMaster "With the Teachers." W. Fowter, "Century of American Diplomacy," J. W. Burges, "The Middle Period," and the International Encyclopedia and the Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1843, McMaster contained a true account of the causes of Whitman's journey and his connection with the emigration of 1843. "That the generally accepted story of Marc Whitman is entirely unhistorical has been proved," the Prof. Continued on End Page. THE APPEAL. The WORKING WOMEN of the PHILIPPINES. SOUTH CAROLINA SLAVERY CONTRACT- CONVICT LABOR" AYBAY, Lejte, P. I. Special Correspondence. Feb. 1.—So much has been written and published by the Philippine woman in her gala attire of "pina" or "bue," with her victoria drawn by small ponies, easy life, that the public has to an extent lost sight of "the Philippine woman" who plods along everyday day after day, and who is heavy load for miles and miles to exchange her load for a few of the necessities of life, returning to a "nipa" hovel at where a large family, of dirty ladies, are waiting for the evening meal. It has been most truthfully stated that among the lower class of people on these islands the beasts of burden are the cariboo and woman, and, with apologies to the higher class of people, and being limited by the poorer working people one will find three working women to each working man and five idle men to each idle woman. Throughout the islands of Luzon, San Juan, and Puerto Rico, to any extent, it is the woman who does the greater part or the minor. The men spend a few days preparing the ground, the soil, and the housework, stalks out into the field and does almost the entire amount of planting and transplanting; she who spends days and weeks in company with other women, harvesting the "palm" fruit, knifes, and the knife, while the men condescend to share SEA CON THE with them the labor of the threshing. All during the harvesting season the "pueblos" are almost deserted, especially during the day, by the women, while the men remain in town, sleeping or attending cook fights. Early each morning the women go to the trails leading to the rice paddies, a Chinese hat to keep off the sun, a hemp "camas" and an old cotton skirt tied about her waist and not extending to her knees. The women are a couple of roasted "camotes," a species of sweet potato, in a handkerchief, and after working till late in the evening gathers the fruit of the day's work in a basket. The women repeat it all the next day. The threshing coats merely of pilling a heap of rice heads and working them against a wall of hulling is done by women. "Pina" is probably the most worn of all the finer native cloths. Being made of the fiber of the "pina," or pineapple, plant, the grades are various the coarser ones used for men's shirts, while each woman, however poor, has a pina capeen and pannels, and they would no more think of wearing a pannels of different D design than their camisole than a man would wear a colored shirt with an evening suit. The poor woman one weakness is the camisole, especially if embroidered with some fancy design in her. She will pay six and light socks for an outfit and walk to church barefooted. The boiler skirt may be of anything from slik down to the cheapest cotton, but she must have her "fine" waist. Bohol is probably the leading island for the manufacture of "taba," which later Cebu province produced. "taba," of the ordinary and better, better cloth is "jace," made of the finest possible pina, with stripes of silk, and either common nor cheap. The finest cloth is made of the finest and of Panay and the Camerines, but away from the pueblos where it is made, for from ten to thirty pesos for a piece of cloth, and twenty yards of cloth twenty-four inches wide. LAVERY CONTRACT- CONVICT LABOR" THE OLD GAME WITH A NEW N The cacao industry is one which can be made to form a place in the 'list of the principal industries of the archipelago, but has a number of trees. For export trade it is sent in the form of "copa", which commands a good price in most markets. This consists of cracking the meat with a little breakage as possible, and when dried is shipped in bags or open boats to some open port, where it meets with as little breakage as possible. The natives use very little of the food, but for local trade it is sold in the market to oil mickers as coconut oil for illumination. A forked root of the tree is on top, sharpened to form a sort of scraper, which the women use as sheaders, and they scrap out the meat while the women cook it. There is no way of refining the oil, but she shreds boll down the shredded cacao and skim off the substance which rises to the Defective Page Hundreds of women are employed gathering bestinlets, so much used by men and women in lea of tobacco, and eaten with a mint leaf and lime, and is the most common dish seen in 'Orlean countries. Those not employed in work for themselves are frequently employed by others a little more fortunate as a nurse, cook or water woman. They are almost no limit to their endurance, and washer women may be seen day after day pounding clothes with a flat padlace from early morning until about 10 and evening until about 6. A nurse water girl will walk along easily with an earlard of water balanced upon her head that an ordinary woman can scarecease. As a nurse she is not a success, and when she is not successful anything but cheerfulness. As a cook she is untidy, and even in the best houses here one cannot help but notice the confluence of the kitchen of the poor woman with the kitchen of the rich woman. There it is usually the clearest place about the house, a woman frequently neglecting her bedroom work to prepare a dumping place for all items in tooffly to be seen in other parts of the house, and one often sees among the poorer classes a woman dumping her kitchen dishes through the cracks in her kitchen floors. The women are at times fairly clean so far as personal appearance is concerned, and probably in no country are the young women baths as in the Philippines. If there be SOUTH CAROLINA REHSE not happen to be a stream or the sea near by, she will take her flock, usually a large one, and line them up near the well, when she spends a half-hour drawing heads, making each child do the rest of the work, until it has reached an age when it is able to accomplish the bath feat itself and feast days she is devout and walks miles to attend services at a church or chapel, carrying her "chimela" or small slippers, which are made of a strip of leather with cloth covering for toes, until she reaches the church, where she meets a god she seems almost devoid of such feelings of a mother as are usually found, the probable result of generations of poverty, ignorance and hard work, for while she applauds and hard works for her living children, she fashion for her living children when dead, to the cemetery, laughing or smoking with a few neighbors, and the night before the burial is a great "feset" for her and she always celebrates it with her friends, to all who enter, and if the house should be large enough, with a dance. If living in a part of the country where a marriage ceremony is too costly it is the husband, as she unblihishing terms him, as though she had received the priest's blessing in a church. There is probably not an American over here who will not carry home with him numerous articles of clothing, and many of hisippines, all crude-appearing, except, perhaps, the cloth, and many officers have large trunks packed with relics the majority of which are works of the women, besides boles and daggers, made by men. Among the business people, it is true, the Filipino is as shrewd and hard-work-ing as he is invariably hard-working, and perseveres in doing so to do very little, but it is just as true that among the working class the men are easy, dishonest and shiftties, allowing the domestico to do not only all light work, but also well, and in the majority of cases earn more of the support than the men, and very frequently one woman will earn the Con inued on 2nd Page MINNESOTA HISTORICAL THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 4- It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5- It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6- It asks no support but the people's. MONEY VALUE OF A FREAK "Yes," said the dime museum man, "I "he" had a liberal education in freaks. "I "he" here in Fourth street for fifteen years, I "he" together, "I "he" associated with a greater gift, weird wonders than any other man." "Which was the weirdest of them all?" "I rather think it was the Took twins, Did you ever meet them? No? Well, they got the biggest salary we ever paid for freaks. They got $700 a week." "That" "Apiece? But there's one of 'em. That is--you see—well, it's kind of complicated. You see, they had one pair of legs and one body up to the waist, and from there they were twins. Of course, if them, why, I have knowledge of the money between them, why, I have knowledge that that earned more. But I guess it wouldn't have done to give the money to 'em anyway. They'd have had a quarrel with 'Didn't they live together in brotherly love?'" "Well, not always. You see, their tasted offered. There was one of them that licked another other wouldn't drink anything but mineral. You see, was rather peaked and effeminate while the other was hearty and strong. He was the one that liked the beer, you know. Of course when he drank his beer to the other fellow's head and then there was for passing a prohibitory law, but their manager believed in legal option, so of course I couldn't help it. He had to get even. He had a miniature for gambling play cards every time he got a chance. No, they didn't play against each other in private life. The big one wouldn't, he used to be madder than anything and had to sit there and watch the little one. "Of course if he could drink enough beer to get the little one sleepy, he could break up the game, but one can't be very complicated. It was a very complicated case. "They were Italianes, the Tocel twins Italy's about the best country for producing freaks. India produces a good many too. I guess India's crop is the largest, but the American freaks are the clearest. Most of the imported ones are just born that way and they let it go at that. But the American ones have more enterprise. They achieve that state or they have it thrust upon them. "There was Jonathan R. Bass, for instance. He was known as the ossified man, but the resturing freak I have ever seen. He was born that way. He said he was all right until he was sixteen years old when he fell into the river where he was rafting. "He took cold, had rheumatism, and suffered exercising pain for a number of years. Finally the pain left him, but he became perfectly stiff. He couldn't walk. He was on an occasional twitching of one toe. He was blind, but he could hear and talk, though he had to talk through his tecto owing to the stiffness of his jaws." "Dle! No! He was happy. He loved to have people read the papers to him and he would talk politics by the hour. He was an ardent Democrat and would argue questions of the day with as much interest as anybody. He got from $20 to $300 per week and to take care of him and of course his travel expenses were heavy. "His brother finally got control of him and was exhibiting him when somehow they dropped him. He never got over that. He was so nervous that he knew he was me word asking me to release him; said he hadn't felt well since they let him fall and he believed he was going to die. He wanted to go back to school. He was so nervous that he released him. They took him out to Western New York and he died two days after he reached there. "I see that one of the Wild Men of Bohemia took other day. Those men were good attractions, though they didn't earn big money. They got from $150 to $150. They were genuine freaks of nature, but they never saw Bornes believe, and the man who traveled with them at first was their father. "Later their own brother, who didn't happen to be a freak, went with them at exhibition. I guess they were on exhibition. I guess the only language they knew anything about was Massachusetts English, so they observed a discreet silence." "What are the giants? Are they worth much as freaks?" "No, not so very much nowadays. Ellie Ewing got more than any other gift to know of. She got as high as $200 a week at the American Kansas giant, who measured feet 4½ inches in his stocking feet. But she only got from $75 to $100 a week. People are suspicious of giants, for some reason or other. Of course, the height can be increased to 11 inches by artificially means that that's what they are afraid of fashion, too. They don't get very much unless they can do something in what we call the working line. Major Mite, who died not long ago, was one of the best of the little people. He was bright and intelligent, would give a good song and dance and could give a mooie audience. He earned from $150 to $250 and there are not many dwarfs who are worth much. He was an interesting little chap. Would smoke a cigar like a man and drink as much as I can. He drank too much, immediately, and that really caused his death. "He was an exception, though. Most of the freaks are well to do. The dwarfs, they are very thrifty and you'll find that they have their money invested in real stuff. It seems to appeal to them somehow. "One of the biggest salaries we have ever paid was the Millie Christine Millie, that's another of these complicated ligaments as the Slimest twins were. They were colored and they were about the sweltest freaks we ever ran across. They had a white man for a manager and they would take care of them. They would want and sometimes got $200 a week. "Now, there's an interesting freak," pointed to the picture of a heavily bearded man. Aiden and she's as nice a woman as Aiden. We get to get from $75 to $200 a week. $2.40 PER YEAR. over in Europe now doing a vaudeville act. of the freaks are in Europe, by the way. They are bigger salaries and longer engagements than rarely play a freak longer than four weeks, but over they there stay months in the same place. "The interest in freaks isn't what it used to be in this country. The present generation must of the specimens and we must meet a few years for a revival of interest. "Of course a novelty in freaks is always a good attraction. There was the man with the broken neck, for instance. The good attraction when he first came out. If he was a framework which supported his head in the air when that was opened in front his head simply fell down onto his breast. It would almost make you faint to see him. "Yes, he was genuine. They had him up at Believe and all the hospitals and examined him. That fellow dies hard, I tell you. He was in the Galveston cyclone and got through with his life all right. He lost everything else, I guess, for he asked me for money, which I sent him. "I say he loves everything else. He didn't. He lost his child, but not his wife. Married? Well, ruther. He married one woman, and married another. You can't break that man's spirit by breaking his neck. "Speaking of necks reminds me of another good freak I know. That's the Griffin, or Original Rubber Nose Joe. He has a phenomenal length, but that wasn't so remarkable as the elasticity of his skin. You could take the skin of his cheek between your thumb and finger and pull it out. He had a $400 nose. He got about $0 a wristband wasn't bad for simply rubbing. By the way, it's interesting to know that the original rubber necker came from Jersey. "Then there was Wilson, the man who was the original twenty-four inches. He was the original娶妻 country. Poor fellow! He's in Boston now, and I understand he's pretty dissapated. I suppose there are so many anti-expansionists in Boston that they've never thought it ought to have known better than to try introduce his specialty up there." "Oh, they're not worth much. They're too common. They don't draw unless they can do something in the working line. For instance, that man out there with the trained cameramen is married to an AB in the army, and he has another Abino," showing a picture, "who is married to the King of the Broom Makers. They work together. She sings and dances, and he gives exhibitions of broom making." "Here's a souvenir I have of one of our freaks. He was called the Human Orchid, he fed, apparently, on nails, tacks, knifelabs and other rather indigestible articles. See that broken blade in my knife? He just bit it off one day. That was his playful way. He then said he would "No, I don't believe he did, but he used to put those little delicacies on his tongue, apparently swallow taem, drink a glass of water and nobody ever could find them. He would let you examine his mouth, but nobody ever found anything there except a knife. I always found the Human Pincushion interesting to him. You could stick into him by the paperful. He must have been invaluable to his wife. I do think he ought to have gone on the police force for a hatpin hadn't any terror for him. "We used to run a hatpin through his cheek, and he'd only smile the brighter. We drove nails into him, too, but he didn't bite. He wasn't blood—nurse sawdust. He was Quaker product. Came from Philadelphia. The Human Ostrich was a New Yorker, isn't it strange as some other things? "There was one class of freaks we used to have that we haven't played with for some time. They were the fasters. There were over thirty-two hours we actually went over thirty-two hours with a thing. He fasted forty-two days, then the police interfered and took him to a hospital. They didn't believe there that he whiskey and champagne, and they gave him whiskey and champagne to put him in the alcoholic ward and he promptly died. They performed an autopsy on him and found out that he accidentally drank a regular salary. "He didn't get a regular salary. He got a percentage of the receipts, the percentage being increased every week he continued to fast. He began with perhaps a little money from that. When he died the money was paid over to his mother." "They are too common to be worth anything unless they can do things. If an armless man can draw or paint, sew, write and do other things of that sort with his feet, he can earn perhaps $50 per week. Of course juggernaut, the armless man, worth more than that. He had him with Laloo and the orange-headed girl and we paid the three about $500 a week. "It pays better to be a long than a short when it comes to freaks. For instance, it all happens to three less than note at all. We had a Woman who was one of our best freaks. But, then, he was bright and attractive. "There is still another class of freaks and that is the animal freaks. There are horses, three-legged hens, two-headed horses, two-headed freaks. These freaks aren't worth much; not more than a few dollars, especially as we don't care to keep them in the museum long. In Essex county, where I have farm, there is a freaks nature that he inhabitants do not think I ought to buy and at a big price. The best animal attraction we over had was the horse with a great mane and tail. But that was a peculiarity of that particular man of horses. It ran in the family." "Do most of the good freaks and their way into the museums?" Many of them are never seen. This freaks often exhibit, sometimes even when it would mean escape from real poverty. 'In other cases the law will not permit a freak because of its being under 18. This law operates very vaguely sometimes.' YOU READ THE APPROACH THE APPEAL.

REVIVING SLAVERY. Though things look very dark for the Afro-American at times, we have always contended that there are many whites who are at heart our friends and are courageous enough to speak out in the meeting. There is always a certain amount of sympathy engendered for the under dog in the fight and the outrages which are heaped upon us will bring friends to us. The recent exposition of the stockade slavery of South Carolina has brought out the following expression from the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It speaks for itself: Having discovered that the Negro can be disfranchised with impunity, despite the provisions of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which congress has refused to enforce, the noble Southron is now proceeding, in various parts of the Cotton states, to nullify the thirteenth amendment as well. This amendment it was which Americans were in the habit of congratulating themselves upon as having finished the work begun by Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. It provides that L. P. PARKER THE LATE EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON. THE LIFE OF JOHN W. HARRIS This system of compulsory servitude has grown to such an extent as to threaten the gradual practical re-establishment of slavery over large areas. Add to the "leased convict" system and the process of doing so, the Negro of his liberty outright, the practical prohibition of removals by the blacks, and the exclusion of labor agents seeking to secure men to work on railroads or on plantations in distant regions where better wages may be offered, and the extent to which the freedom of the Negro is impaired little; the greater than imagined. He has, where he resides, the cld slave-master spirit has occurred, little or no liberty of contract; is forbidden to seek other fields of opportunity; and the man who offers him employment elsewhere is threatened with "tar and feathers" if he isn't shot or engaged outright. Very much work to be done yet before the Spirit of Slavery, scouted in "the sixties," shall be actually killed. But there is happily evidence of an awakening public sentiment in the South which will not tolerate the cruelties practiced on the Negro under the lawless contract system. At Anderson, S. C., the grand jury a few days before the startling report upon the outrageous treatment of some twenty farmers in the vicinity charged, and for which they are to be indicted and tried. Judge Barnett, who ordered the investigation, said of the report: "It contains pitiful details, stories of long imprisonment without even the mockery of a trial, whippings, kidnapings from other counties, even from Georgia." The report reportedly bears out in its local details the general which is above presented. It fearlessly denounces the shocking outrages which it discloses, including the leasing out of convicts to work on private farms. Judge Barnett thanked the jury in the name of South Carolina "for wiping out the stain upon her by a few misguided citizens." It will be interesting to note what the court has done to the miscreants who are held for prosecution and whether the judge and the grand jury in this case represent a public sentiment in South Carolina earnest enough and strong enough to secure the conviction and punishment of these inhuman wretches—for this and this alone will "wipe out the stain" put upon South Carolina by these misguided citizens. Robert C. Ogden, philanthropist, will start from New York on or about April 15 with forty personally invited guests on a visit to the educational institutions in the South.

Cyrus Field Adams paid $50 and became the first life member of the National Afro-American Council. * * * As a token of appreciation of his services to the race, Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, was Saturday presented with a handsome cane by representatives of the leading Afro-American newspapers of the country. The presentation took place in the room of the Senate committee on privileges and in addition to Senator Chandler, a friend of their own race, Senators McComas and Pritchard were present. The speech of presentation was made on behalf of the press by Mr. Reuben S. Smith, a member of the Washington bar. He said the New Hampshire senator had freely given his services to the race for the past forty years, and he predicted that his retirement would be only temporary. Mr. Chandler was visibly affected when he rose to reply. He said he had been a friend of the Afro-American ever since 1856, and that it had can easy for him to do so, because it was natural. He discussed the lynching problem at some length and said he regretted to see the lynching of Afro-American men was extending to the Northern States, and that it is not confined to lynching for offenses against women. He advised the Afro-American people to organize a committee to investigate and make public the facts connected with all lynchings brought to their attention, believing that the publication of an authentic account would do much to cessation of the practice. He believed that in time inexperience enlightenment and the growth of genuine Christianity would relieve the race from this must indiction.

Massee, Sergeant Major, Second Battalion, Forty-third Infantry, U. S. A. MARCUS WHITMAN'S RIDE (Continued From First PAGE.) Bourne, "That this fictitious narrative should have been so widely diffused and accepted when the true story of Marcus Whitman was perfectly accessible in the reports of the American board and the volumes of the Missionary Herald is surprising. That this should have taken place since the publication of Bancroft's 'History of Oregon', in 1885, is almost incredible. . . ." "The results of this investigation will come to many as a shock. Extraordinary efforts have been made, good faith to the story of Marcus Whitman in order to raise money for a suitable memorial and especially for Whitman College, and to many interested in these enterprises this criticism of the Whitman legend will doubtless seem most unfortunate. "Yet it is the true Marcus Whitman whom they wish to honor, the devoted and heroic missionary who braved every hardship and imperilled his life for the cause of Christian missions and Christian civilization I met far Northwest and finally died at his post, a sacrifice to the cause. The unceasing labors of his life and his death in the service of Christian missions n Oregon deserve every honorable mention. The perversion of history cannot honor such a man." MONEY VALUE OF A FREAKY "You say freaks do not draw as well as they used to. What has taken their place?" "We do more in what we call the working line. People must do something. There is snake handling, for instance. There is a stand-by among attractions. People must be seeing a pretty woman handle snakes." "She will get from $50 to $100 a week, according to her costumes, the snakes and her own attractiveness. The salaries of all freaks, by the way, vary greatly according to the number of people in their special line who happen to be before the public at the time." "Are about acquitted murderers or things which have been associated with sensational crimes? Are they good attractions?" "I suppose they are to some people. But I don't believe in them. I think their influence is bad and I won't have them. The Paterson people wrote to me and offered me the coach in which Jennie Bosschleier schiebered some of her clothes. I wrote to them that I would have them $5 for the whole outfit. I won't have sort of thing. And I won't have fortune tellers either, though any of them would pay me $50 a week. I don't believe in people spending a hard-earned money in that way and I don't mean to encourage it. "Have you ever known of a strike among freaks?" "No. As I say, they are generally well to do and don't care about striking." "Are there any members of the White Rats or the White Mice among the freaks?" "No. They do say that there are freaks among the rats and the mice—but that's another story."—New York Sun. TO CUKE A COLD IN ONE DAY, "Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

The gentlemen who had charge of the mock trial which was held at Pilgrim Baptist Church Wednesday evening have good reason to feel 'proud of the success of their entertainment in every way. No entertainment which has been given lately has drawn so large a crowd, as the church was filled completely. Everybody got his money's worth, too. The case was Miss Mayme Weir vs. Charles Miller, for breach of contract. Mr. Richard Fair appeared as attorney for the plaintiff and Mr. F. L. McGhee appaered as attorney for the defendant. W. M. T. was clerk, and Irwin Wilbur sheriff, and Egan Egan presided. It was a picnic fron the gritish, and many good bon nets were gotthed. If a jury was drawn, but the judge would not give the case to it, saying he would charge the jury at next term of court. The affair was highly enjoyed by everybody except some of the risque remarks made by the judge, who, however, meant only to be funny. The entertainment was for the carpet fund of the church, and was given under the auspices of the Young Men's club, of which S. J. Cuthbert, H. G. Johnson and William Johnson are the executive committee. Minneapolis was very well represented in the audience. LOST IN THE DESERT At the Grand Open House, St. Paul "Lost in the Desert," a new spectacular melodrama of a very elaborate scenic description, will be seen at the Grand the coming week, commencing Sunday night. The cast is a large and competent one, and is headed by Christine Langford, Louis Thiel, Van Dyke Brown, James Devlin, Phineas McLean, William Warren and many numbering over thirty, including a native tribe of desert Arabs especially imported for this production. The imbibition of the management has been to outshine any previous attempts at scenic melodrama, and they promise several new and startling effects. The play is by Gwen Davis, author of several successful melodramas, and the story dwells on the trials and adventures of a party of American travelers, who after being shipwrecked on the desert, hast, wander alone into the desert and into the hostile hands of a band of wading Arabs, who carry them into the mine their prisoners and slaves. The hardships of this little band of Americans and their final rescue make up the story of the play, which allows of quite remarkable scope for picturesque stage settings and stirring situations. Among the special features of a novel mechanical description are scenes of a raft in mid-ocean, a storm on the desert, the explosion of a bomb in an underground prison, which demolishes the way for escape, and the remarkable power effect in the second act. This effect is quite the feature of the performance, and is said to be one of the most thrilling mechanical devices ever constructed for stage illusions.

ANDERSON Marshell, Winn From a Small Beginning Some interesting facts regarding the coffee tree have been printed recently. The native home of this plant is said to be Kaffra, in southern Abyssinia. It was not until it had been in use for centuries by the Arabians that a plant was carried to Java. In 1706 a tree from Java was sent to Amsterdam, and when it flowered and ripened seeds a young seedling was presented to Louis XIV. From this plant seedlings were sent to Martinique, and from these plants again seedlings were sent to Jamaica, Cayenne and San Domingo; while from Amsterdam plants were sent to Surinam. In fact, it was from the one plant.sent from Java in the beginning of the eighteenth century by Governor General Van Hoorn, that everything in the French possessions and West Indies sprang. In this way has traveled the progeny of the original coffee plant, introduced from Arabia at the end of the seventeenth century. NOTES ON PROGRESS. Russia has 800 newspapers. Krupp has 47,000 employees. Japan consumes the most rice. The railroads today employ as many men as America contained in 1800—900,000. To carry a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York in 1800 cost $100; today it costs $1.50. Missouri is the center of a district that produces more eggs than any other part of the earth. More than one-third of the manufactured goods made in France are the products of female labor. IN 1820 our cotton crop was $870,415 bales; in 1899 it had grown to 11,235—333 bales; or ninety per cent of the total crop grown in the world. In 1800 domestic animals were few; today there are 14,000,000 horses, 2,200,000 mules, 44,000,000 cattle, 40,000,000 sheep, and 39,000,000 swine. Japan has made greater progress in the past decade than any other nation in the world, her exports having increased from $16,000,000 to $167,000,000, while her imports have increased from $26,000,000 to $443,000,000 in the same period of time.—Pennsylvania Grit.

WINTER EVENINGS; Pleasant Way to Spend Them in Woods Caroline (**) There are some who have long urged the extension of home or domestic industries to both town and village workers. By home industries is meant those handicrafts so many of which could be carried on in the workers' own homes—rich or poor—and which would do much to interest and to increase the income of those engaged in them. When we look at the industries carried on in the workers' homes abroad, especially in the rural districts, it does seem rather surprising that we should lag behind. In Switzerland watchmaking, except at Geneva, is mostly carried on as a domestic industry. In the Jura, parts of the watch are fabricated in nearly every house by some member or members of the family. Silk-weaving in Zurich, Aargau and other cantons is carried on by means of looms lent to the workers. In Germany the famous Black Forest clocks are almost entirely a domestic industry, while toys in any quantity come from the Thuringian workmen. In Austria home industries are common, spinning, weaving, wood-turning, wood-carving, embroidery work, basket-making, strawplaiting, etc., being very extensively carried on in this way. There is every reason why thousands in our great towns, in our small towns and in our villages might apply themselves to some form or other of handicraft work as the winter season comes and when the evenings are so long. Work such as that contemplated—wood-carving, fret work, repouse work, bentiron work, wood turning, embossed leather work, modeling in leather, etc.—are not difficult to learn; the tools are not expensive, and with a little industry and some organization, both pleasure and profit would accrue to those engaging in them. In the country districts the question of organization is more serious than in large towns, though it is a detail not impossible to overcome. It is a very remarkable thing that we should import so many hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of knickknacks and of little articles of utility principally because our own people do not themselves know the way to produce them. Take the case of wood-carving alone as an illustration of what is meant by the inexpensive character of beginning it. Here the learner requires at first three chief kinds of tools—namely, some gouges, two or three flat chisels and a veining tool or two. With these he may practice simple designs. A little later he may go in for some carving punches and a few other tools, all of which, from the very start, would cost him but very little. The art, too, is by no means difficult to learn by any one who takes an interest in it. What he has chiefly to remember is not to copy too slavishly the designs of others, but to show his originality in creating designs and work of his own. What applies to wood-carving applies in the main to all these domestic industries. Robbing an Eagle's Nest Robbing an Eagle's Nest. The author of "Sport and Travel" tells how he robbed an eagle's nest in Asia Minor, or rather how he managed to get it robbed for him. The nest was about sixty feet from the ground, on a perpendicular cliff a hundred and fifty feet high. He says: I twisted three hundred feet of half-inch cord into a strong rope of less than half that length, and also made a strong but light rope ladder out of the ropes from the pack-saddles. I then sent four men to the top of the cliff, to let down the long rope directly over the eagle's nest. The rope ladder was attached to the end of it, and drawn over the open space where the nest lay. This was held in place by another rope tied to a tree at the bottom of the cliff. There was now no difficulty in approaching the nest, and no danger so long as the rope held, although of course the sensation of being dangled at the end of a long rope is more or less unpleasant until one gets accustomed to it. Mustpha reached the nest without difficulty, and brought down the two eggs in a handkerchief held between his teeth. We watched the nest all day, and found that the mother eagle did not return. We had disturbed her on the previous day, and so she had evidently deserted her home.—Youths' Companion. POINTED PARAGRAPH5. Some cooks manage to get fat while wasting away. It takes a good artist or a good actor to draw a good house. One way to become round is to eat plenty of square meals. Ability is the art of doing only what we are capable of doing. The man who owes his shoemaker cannot call his sole his own. Marrying a man to reform him is like drinking whisky to destroy it.

PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION Nothing since the World's Fair, at Chicago, in 1893, has elicited the widespread interest that is manifest, all over the world, in the Pan-American Expedition, which is to be held in Buffalo. From May 1st to November 1st, 1901. The purpose of the Exposition is to illustrate the progress of the countries of the Western hemisphere during a century of wonderful achievement, together into closer relationship with the posing the many States, Territories and countries of the three Americas. Acting under proper authority, the President of the United States has invited all the republics and colonies of the western hemisphere to join in commemorating the Nineteenth and beginning of the Twentieth century, by holding this International Exposition, on the Niagara frontier. For the first event, the Nickel Plate Road has issued an attractive descriptive folder pamphlet, elaborately illustrating the Pan-American Exposition, the buildings and grounds.

POLITICAL POINTS The candidacy of Judge Elbridge Haneye for Mayor of Chicago has met with the cordial and hearty support of all elements of Chicago citizenship, factions of the Republicans are united and victory to the party's splendid nominees. Judge Haneye himself has gone into the contest with an earnestness and ability seldom equaled in a united effort. He has openly charged the Harrison administration with being dishonestly extravagant with the people's money—fostering and encouraging all manner of vice and crime—and prostituting public office to the graft of his henchmen and hangers-on. . . The people of Chicago, regardless of party, who desire to see a change in the affairs of the city, should not hesitate to judge Judge Haneye and the Republican ticket in April. His election will mean a general reform in the city administration. Thugs, robbers and hold-up men will be vigorously prosecuted and seized, punished and the lives and property of the people will be fully protected. The police force will cease to be an adjunct to a political machine, obeying times the behests of the party boss. Chicago streets will be made clean and passable that the people may use them at all times with perfect safety. The police question will be satisfied with absurdity and the street car companies and the people of the entire city. Civil service will be earnestly and legally enforced and those who may be required to pay a fine of Chicago and the APPEAL feels perfectly fidient that all good citizens will line up on election day in favor of a decent, and honest administrative office. The town of Lake Republican convention last week nominated for constable Mr. James H. Porter, who is well-known in Chicago. The APPEAL in that town to vote for Mr. Porter and thereby insure his election he is deserving of the honor. The South town Republican convention last Monday evening did well in nominating Meagher, Mr. Robert, constables. These two well-known Afro-Americans have always been earnest and tireless workers on behalf of the South town Republican convention, merit this recognition. The election of these gentlemen together with that of the entire Republican ticket can be a great work of labor. Every Republican of the South town should labor continuously for the success of the whole ticket. 14 STORES IN EUROPE The Republican convention of the South town last Monday evening nominated a splendid ticket and adoption for fear of facing the abolition of township government. The nominees are as follows: A. J. Pflaum for Assessor. Wm. J. Lawler for Collector. Hugh Harris for Supervisor. Willis W. Harris for Supervisor. These gentlemen are well known and popular in the town and should receive the hearty support of every voter who favors an honest and economical administration of town affairs. The African-American of the Secon ward and is a popular and able young man. The filthy and impassable condition of Chicago's streets is a disgrace to the gang now in office, and is only equated with unmanage-ment of affairs in the city hall. Mr. B. F. Mosely, the Republican nominee for Supervisor in the town of Dearborn is an able and earnest canvas and has a cratic opponent wins, he will certainly know that he has been in "hot fight." Vote for Mosely! Ex-County Commissioner E. H. Wright is a member of the Citizens Advisory Republican Committee and with all other good Republicans is in line for the city ticket. The fearful explosion in the Doremus laundry on the west side, which resulted in the death of nine persons last Monday, is another instance of neglect of duty on the part of one of Carter Harrison's officers.
