NATIONAL CONVENTION. The date for holding the next National Republican Convention, June 21, at Chicago, is the latest of any convention in the history of that party. It will be the thirteenth National Republican convention, which fact will give the superintendent of the Republican conventions, have been held as follows: Philadelphia, June 17, 1856—Nominees, John C. Fremont, of California, and William L. Dayton, of New Jersey. Chicago, May 6, 1860—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hank A. Maine. Baltimore, June 7, 1864—Nominees, Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Chicago, May 20, 1868—Nominees, Ulysses S. Grant, of Illinois, and Schuyler Colaf, of Indiana. Philadelphia, June 5, 1872—Nominees, John C. Fremont, of California, and Henry Wilson of Massachusetts. Chicago, June 2, 1880—Nominees, James A. Garfield, of Ohio, and Chester A. Arthur, of New York. Chicago, June 3, 1884—Nominees, James G. Blaire, of Maine, and John A. Logan, of Illinois. Chicago, June 3, 1888—Nominees, Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, and Levi P. Morton, of New York.

Philadelphia, June 19, 1897—Nominees, William McKinley, of Ohio, and Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. Since the Republican party won its first victory, it will be noticed that the first name on its ticket has always been from either Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio, with the single exception of 1884, when the honor went to William T. Roosevelt, who be given such a distinction, when Mr. Roosevelt is nominated next June. "A LIE NAILED." A few days ago an article was going to state that Admiral Dewey and the officers of his ship, which was sent to San Domingo by the government, refused to land when they learned that Minister Alex Powell, the representative of this government there, was an Afro-American officer, and the rules of etiquette have to accept of social courtesies at his hands. It struck us at the time as, being utterly impossible to be true, but we could not doubt the evidence of what our officers had told us, and we thought and said about that time would not appear very well in print, and would not be very complimentary to Admiral Dewey. The daily press of March 27th published a statement in which Admiral Dewey was accused because any fear of association with Minister Powell. We are very glad the denial is made, for we would hate to think it possible for any man to be possessed of the qualifications, natural and accustomed to enable him to reach the pinnacle which Admiral Dewey occupies and at the same time be governed by a soul so infinitesimally small. We don't know how such a story was the first could have been told, but we do know that we are heartily glad it has been authoritatively denied. THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE. The famous Alton School case has been decided against the Afro-American. The board of education several years ago built a school for children, Scott Bibb and a number of others refused to send their children there and attempted to send them to the nearest public school. The superintendent of schools refused to permit this and a suit for mandamus was brought in Bibbs' name against the officials. To the appellate and supreme courts a number of times, and has been reversed and remanded upon various points each time. An appeal will be taken to the state supreme court. Money will be needed to make the fight and the Afro-Americans of Illinois upset. The appeal will give $10 to start the fund. How much will you give, kind reader? Color prejudice, which had its origin in this country, and which has been so constantly nursed and nurtured, has grown wonderfully, so that now it is found almost everywhere. The idea that a black man has no rights to live in any places. Why found to exist in many places. Why over in Australia Major Taylor, the world's greatest bicyclist, was outrageously treated at the recent international races just because he is black, and now they have decided to not allow him to ride. A sole employee black seamen. In Johannesburg, Africa, mind you, the commissioner of police, yielding to the pressure of public opinion, has prohibited black people from using the sidewalks. And because the natives of the district of Okahandua have some of their own medicine they are filled with rage and determine to kill everything black. Last week in Cincinnati, Ohio, the state in which Springfield is, and only a few miles away from the moral vineyard, the body of an unknown young man was found in a house, every indication of a most atrocious outrage and murder. The struggle was on a highway, and the girl evidently fought desperately. Her skull was broken, her face torn out of the socket, most of her hair pulled out and her body badly mutilated. We have had our ear to the ground for more than a week, but we have heard no rumbling of a mob and no evidence of a life who committed the dastardly act. The rule is in this country, when the white employees object to the employment of an Afro-American, that the Afro-American has to go. But the black employees have to fourteen Afro-American wagon drivers of the Richmond Baggage Transfer company notified the company that they would not work with a white man who had been employed as a driver the company discharged the whole group of black men employed with white men. The rule does not work both ways. Oh, no, they don't disturb any but the guilty Afro-Americans down south; but just the same thirteen black men were killed in Arkansas last week before they came to the two guilty? (ones. And, in Silsbee and Sharon sections of Texas, so says the daily press, "the Negroes have left for unknown," to escape the blood-thirsty mob. The new states of "Oklahoma" and "Arizona," that are shortly to become members of the Union, must frame constitutions that will not restrict the suffrage of Afro-Americans in fact. Suffrage cannot be restrained except by ignorance, imbecility, age and sex. This will not prohibit woman suffrage if the constitution be adopted shall so provide. A dispatch from Arkansas says that "Afro-Americans stayed away from town even on election days. This is not strange, after the Caucasian outflow of the United States filled thirteen of the page, and it is likely that the row was started for the purpose of keeping Afro-Americans from the polls.

The Reconstruction act of June 25th, 1868, readmitting South Carolina and other Confederate states, and giving them representation in congress, was as follows: The constitution of neither of said states shall ever be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen, or class of citizens, of the United States of the right to vote in said state who are entitled to vote by the constitution thereof herein recognized, excluding those are now felonies at common law, whereof they shall have been duly convicted under laws equally applicable to all the inhabitants of said state; provided, that any altering of said constitution may be made with regard to the time and place of residence of Under these terms were the Confederate states again allowed representation in congress. The constitution of South Carolina and other southern states did not contain, at that time, any educational or property qualification of voters; neither did they have the "grandfather clause," yet most of these states have made such qualification since that time; and representation in congress is seldom questioned in other abridged. The rest questioned the following: "A majority of the committee on elections, No. 1, doubt the propriety in any event of denying these southern states representation in the house of representatives pending a final settlement of the whole question in proper proceedings by the supreme court of the United States of America, the committee thought the constitution and election laws of these states to be in conflict with the conditions set forth in the reconstruction act, hence invalid; others thought the constitution of these states were not in conflict with the conditions mentioned, and others of the committee expressed no belief whatever upon the subject. Although the republicans have a clear majority in congress, the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, that Alexander D. Dantzer was not elected a member of the Fifty-eight congress from the Seventh congressional district of South Carolina and is not entitled to a seat therein." The resolution did not state, as is customary in all contested cases, who was elected a member from the Seventh congressional district of South Carolina, and a person does not know whether there was no election and the seat is vacant, or whether the seat, or someone is entitled to seat. However, Mr. Lever retains the seat, apparently by common consent. Now, as far as Mr. Dantzler is concerned, individually we do not care a rap, as he is said to be a very illiterate old Afro-American; in fact, it is reported that he was sitting in his chair fast asleep at the time the committee was deciding his fate, and if all of this is true, an answer would be barely possible that if seated he would have been of no more service to himself or the race than an Indian tobacco sign. The question then at issue is not Mr. Dantzler, but, rather, the law in the case, and the disposition to disregard the rights of Afro-American citizens. But two conclusions can be formed. The constitution of the United States does not amount to an affirmation of the rights of an American has so fastened itself upon the nation that the rights of citizens are of little moment. History teaches us that whenever a nation sacrifices humanity to the greed of mammon its days are numbered. Once upon a time, to be a Roman citizen was the greatest distinction in the world, but today the Roman citizen has a hand organ or fruit cart to push, while in their own country their condition is deplorable. In this age it is a great thing to be an American citizen. Speaking of disfranchisement the New York Tribune recently gave our own witness. In this country a stable hint when it said that the two cases in the supreme court testing the validity of the constitutions of certain southern states were thrown out on technicalities because the lawyers did not know how to present them, and that the supreme court could not instruct lawyers to properly present the question will be decided upon its merits, once and for all, is the opinion of the Tribune. The rehearsals of the S. Coleridge Taylor Choral society of the sacred cantata, "The Atonement," by S. Coleridge Taylor, are being held on Tuesday evenings at Lincoln Memorial Chapel, the Hereford festival, in England, where it was received with the greatest enthusiasm by hearers and critics. It will have its first production in this city by this society at a date to be determined upon request. Mr. Mews will repeat the performance of the same composer's "Hiawatha," in the Metropolitan A. M. e. church, on the evening of April 12. The soloists will be Mrs. Katherine Skreen Mitchell, of Cleveland, Mr. William Mitchell, of Memphis, and Mr. Stanley C. Gilbert, of Philadelphia, the baritone. Mr. John F. Layton will conduct. Because Admiral Dewey did not return an official call by Hon. Wm. F. Powell, an Afro-American, who is United States minister to the Dominican Republic, he will insist that the reason the admiral failed to return the call when his ship re- cently anchored off Santo Domingo City was "because he did not want to associate with a Negro who might invite him to dinner." The admiral was not the only other things, says, "I came from the state of Vermont, where we have no prejudices against colored men." So much has been said about the affair that Secretary Moye wrote a letter, "I am not sure that the admiral of any action that could or might be construed as a slight upon Minister Powell. Immortality If a man die, shall he live again?-Job, tiv. 14. 165. Any natural, well poised person holds life to the dearest of all treasures. When a philosopher like Schopenhauer argues against the good of life we set him down as a pestmist. Only the morbid person, the misanthropy, the unhealthy mind lightly values life. Wrote John Stuart Mill: "The soul forears life." And said Dr. Samuel Johnson: "No wise man will be contented to die if he thinks he is to fall into annihilation. But with this passion for life he thinks he will die, death which pushes the race of men! Just when the powers are ripest the thinker, the genius, the empire builder must drop his plans and retire from the stage of life. Shall we wonder, then, that from of old, wise man should have asked Job's great question, "If a man die, shall he live again?" And that great pagan thinkers sought by natural proofs to construct a doctrine of immortality? The strongest of these, perhaps, was the historical one—that drawn from unnatural sources. And the man abashed bird the phoenix, rising from its own ashes; the Homeric poems, with Acheeron and the realm of shades; the Hindu doctrine of metempsychosis, the transmigration of metapsychosis, the hymns of the Rig-Veda, the next oldest book to the Bible, in the world, all teach an existence beyond the grave. And are not such universal beliefs reflections of eternal truth? And do they not point to objections? And do prophesies things to be seen and the bird's wing points to a medium fitted for flight? Hence wrote Victor Hugo: "My thirst for the infinite proves that my being is infinite. Winter is on "THE DESCENT FROM ```markdown ``` "THE DESCENT FROM THE CROSS."—RUBENS. my silver head, but eternal spring is in my heart." The philosophical argument, based upon the indestructibility of any simple entity, has also been resorted to. On this ground Plato held that "the soul was imperishable and immortal." And Kant, the intellectual giant of modern times, deduced the same result from the voice of conscience, which he called the "Practical Reason." The ethical argument, drawn from the incompleteness and inequality and injustice of this stage of being, has also been adduced. And even science is not without its proof. For Professor Tait, in his "Treatise on the Unseen Universe," shows that the modern discovery of the conservation of force—that no power of force amid all changes is not lost, indicates the indissoluble nature of the soul. So the indestructibility of matter and the mystery of sleep, "twin sister of death," bring further correlative proofs. umph over death in Hindi sentative. And so is it of our personal resuscitation mortality and Resurrever such twin truths in these? And not without spiration has the bluese been fixed by the Church son when the earth shakes winter's sleep; when the back and the flowers be when every seed that fathers ground and dies, and rise a new body, is a witness resurrection of Christ, and to us of the resurrection and a witness to us that shall conquer death, life darkness and pain of immortal being shall be no more death, row, nor crying, neither is any more energy for the fire are passed away" (Rev. Fortified, then, with the Easter faith, let us, who Such are the reasonings by which men in all ages have sought to frame a theory of immortality with which to break the lance of the grim tyrant death.

Yet what are theories, speculations and philosophies when confronted with the remorseless logic of facts?

And Haeckel's ```markdown ``` This dinner business is being overworked, and those who are yelling the loudest and longest are the poor whites who never sat down to a real meal in the restaurant, in their half-fed condition, would eat with a wild Hottentot if they could place their feet under a table and be served with a regular course dinner. The aristocratic gentleman, whose so-called "suit" such happenings, "tis the voice of the parvenue and poor white that we hear. Chas. E. Hall. "Sleep of the Soul," Huxley's "Endless Sleep" and Hume's "Leap into the Dark" show the same doubt and among modern secular philosophers. And this, then, is the uniqueness and the glory of the Easter message. It meets fact with fact. It proclaims with a trumpet that rends the universal air: "Christ has risen! The Son of God has burst the bars of the grave! The king of terrors is discrowned! Jesus hath abolished death and broughed life and immortality. He is the most blessed and significant fact of history. It is the cornerstone of Christianity. Well may Renan admit that this Easter message has revolutionized the world. Naturally and rightfully, thinking men everywhere rose up and questioned its credibility. But Christ would have risen in vain had not the resurrection been satisfactorily attested. And so the Church would have been able to little the world came to accept the Easter miracle as an indisputable historical fact. And then the nightmare of ages lifted. The Sun of Immortality rose to the zenith. A great inspiration uplifted humanity. The floodgates of history were reversed. Religion was transfused with hope and gladness. Literature took on sunnier moods. Art bloomed with lovenier forms. The world became peaceful couches where the loved pilgrims slept the "sleep beautiful," to be wakened by the joyful trump of endless life. The race had undergone a new creation. The resurrection of Jesus is thus a demonstration of immortality. And of our personal immortality. For, as He was made man for us, so we tr THE CROSS."—RUBENS. umph over death in Him, our representative. And so is it a demonstration of our personal resurrection. Immortality and Resurrection—were ever such twin truths heralded as these? And not without a divine inspiration has the blessed Eastertide been fixed by the Church at the sea, son when the shakes off her winter's sleep, when the birds come when the flowers begin to bloom, when every seed that falls into the ground and dies, and rises again with a new body, is a witness to us of the resurrection of Christ, and a witness to us of the resurrection of Christ, and a witness to us that some day life shall conquer death, light conquer darkness and joy conquer grief in that realm of immortal being where "there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away" (Rev. xxi., 4).

An Easter Novelty. A novelty in ceramics for the coming Easter is a small porcelain tile with an appropriate verse of a poem or a quotation from Scripture, done in fancy lettering and bordered with flowers. A beautiful tile of this kind, just designed by a local artist, shows the first verse of an Easter hymn done in gill lettering, and rising up between the letters slender green stems which carry at the top, as a kind of border, full blown Iris flowers.—Brooklyn Eagle.

Francis Wilson is a name to conjure with when mentioned in connection with the comic opera classic, “Ermi- nie,” for he has done much for “Er- minfe,” and it may be said that “Er- minie” has done much for him.

Wilson will appear at the Metropolitan for one week, beginning next Monday, with the strongest com- pany of star players that has appeared together in. one comic opera. ‘The company includes Marguerita Sylva, Jessie Bartlett Davis, William Broder- ick, Jennie Weathersby, Clara Belle Jerome, Signor Perugini, William C.

Death of Mrs. Ella Milton Slaughter. Ella Milton Slaughter, wife of Frederick Slaughter, died Tuesday evening of last week at 8:40 o'clock. Her death was a great surprise to the many friends of the family despite the fact that she had been in poor health for some time. Only a day or two before her death did the immediate relatives and friends of the family realize that she was in a serious condition. When the end came it was a shock to all. Mrs. Slaughter was much beloved by all who knew her, and her kind and true womanly characteristics made for her admirers and friends all with whom she came in contact. Being but 28 years of age at the time of her death, she was just in the prime of life, and her untimely taking off is a source of great regret to both family and friends. She was the youngest of four sisters and two brothers. Her immediate family left to mourn her ALLRIGHT SHOE LADIES AND GENTS PRICE $350 FOR SALE BY TREADWELL SHOE CO. 129-8131 E.7th ST P.A.CO.
