SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1904. BISHOP NELSON IN BOSTON. Bishop C. Klinckel Nelson of Georgia who was one of the prominent figures at the Episcopal Triennial convention in Boston says in a signed article on the race question furnished the Boston newspapers: "It is simply out of the question any man may be informed of the condition and progress of the southern Afro-American without long residence. His manners and his speech cannot be interpreted by the casual traveler; his hopes, his ambitions, his inner feelings are often perfectly disguised and it is an open question whether different lives, one among the whites and another among the members of his own race. "Religion, to the great majority of the race, does not carry a recognition of the presence of God as the controlling influence of life, nor a definite belief in God, but something different from these." All of which is probably intended to convey the idea that the Afro-American is radically different from his fellow men by nature and not as the effect of his environment and training, and the surplus of his intelligence infused with a saecilimonious garnishment. The real fact is that, of all the men, the true full-blooded Southerner is the most ignorant of the real nature of the Afro-American, for the good and sufficient reason that he has never seen him except under the same conditions and in the same circumstances as his predecessors to know the nature of a substance until he has seen it under the most variant conditions: until he has tested it by intense heat, extreme cold and the other re-agents of his laboratory. But the true Southern brother, with his asinite conceit and pompousness, his world is a blasted fool for not admitting that, to him, self-evident fact. Gov. Vardaman can see no difference between his bootlack and Bocker T. Washington, Fred Douglas or Alexander Dumas; and is highly delighted when the newspapers reproduce his slobberings as an unique dehumanizing elitism. Bishop Nelson, notwithstanding his long-meter name, may be a man of some note in Georgia, but he needs some great concussion to knock some sense into his top-piece, and a little definite creed and ethical code out of it. He commands the audience against the neighbor, as a definite creed and an ethical code of which he seems to be lamentably ignorant. The civil service commission has adopted a new regulation in regard to applicants for positions under the Civil Service Commission, which haps a good thing for correcting the evil sought but would work to the disadvantage of the Afro-American if the same rule applied in all examinations. The new regulation is that all applicants for positions must' attach recent photographs of themselves to their examination papers. The civil service' examinations have been a terrible God-send' as the country of Afro-American, as by them hundreds of Afro-Americans are holding government positions won on merit which they would have been deprived of by color prejudice had their color been known from start to finish. While the new regulation might prevent "dummies" from taking the examinations it certainly would not. We deserve Afro-Americans and we earnestly hope it will not apply to all examinations. The Globe-Democrat says: "In the government of the United States, the South doesn't count." That is the plain truth and the South owes her humiliating condition to her own folly. She cannot discern the signs of the times. Her own best citizens are ashamed of her past, as Davis, Helfin, Vardhaman, Williams, Graves and Tillman; but her ignorant "hill-billies" would vote for such hoodlums in preference to Robt. E. Lee. Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry or St. Paul. The men who elected Helfin and John Sharpe Williams to Congress are, for the most part, ignorant of their victims of Nineveh, who did not know their right hands from their left ones. Dr. J. T. Jenifer once remarked in the hearing of the writer: "During slavery days the Lord blessed the Afro-American with beets; in his days of freedom, he is blessing him with brains." And that is just what the Southern white brother can't see, because he won't see. The evidence is that he shuts his eyes and stops his ears. His Abana and Pharpar are better than Jordan: he cherishes his leprosy as his most valuable asset. Blowing one's nose or cough seems to have become to be a dangerous operation now-a-days. A school girl in Winona, Minn., died the other day from a hemorrhage of a blood vessel in the brain resulting from blowing her nose. A traveling man with large ribs in his left side during a coughing fit. People who indulge in these pastimes in public gatherings would better take warning. The Japanese are proving to the world that the color of the skin is no evidence of lack of any of the qualities that are conceded to be manly, any more than that the lack of color is evidence of their inherent possess Again Nominated by President Roosevelt as Collector of the Port at Charleston, S.

BIRTH OF A GEYSER Smooth Lagoon Changed to Firey Caldron in Few Minutes. Near the famous and erratic geyser of Waimaugu, in New Zealand—so whimsical in its spoutings and times of quiet that the oldest Mari in the region can give the visitor no schedule of these performances—there has lately been born a new geyser. A few hours before the birth a passer-by had stopped to look at a placid little ringed lagoon about with gentle green slopes. Then dwells a small cave of something doing by a salvo of earthquakes, more than thirty shocks in half as many minutes. The next man who walked that way found, instead of the placid green ringed lagoon, a boiling, bubbling calderon over which hovered and soared and rolled into fantastic shapes a dense cloud of steam. The older and more mature geyser, however, looks cool, too, sometimes it itwears a feathery, foamy cap, again it belches out water and stones and mud to immense heights and with immense noise. HISTORY OF OLD HUNDRED Famous Psalm Tune Composed in the Sixteenth Century. The history of this old psalm tune, which every one has been accustomed to hear ever since he can remember, is somewhat shrouded in mystery. Martin Luther has generally been considered the author, but it has been pretty satisfactorily shown that it was composed in the sixteenth century and certainly previous to 1546, by Gullaume le Frane of Quen. Gullaume le Frane of Quen arrangement has undergone repeated alterations, and it is said that as it originally appeared it was of a more lively character than at present. Many of these alterations have been preserved and may be seen by reference to Moore's Encyclopodia of Music. In England it was first sung to the 100th psalm, and thus came to be called "Old Hundred." THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE BOOK WORLD A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY. A Political History of Slavery. By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by Rev. Read. Two volumes,avo. Net. $4.50. B邮, $9.00. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. A POLITICAL HISTORY OF SLAVERY," by Wm. Henry Smith, is an elaborated story of the controversy over the slavery question to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. Bismarck prepared the war, Napoleon III. wanted it, the great bourgeois looked on. They might have stopped it by an armed attack. Napoleon ordered himself with a grimace. He saw in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have fighting the poor. strategists Von Molike. In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revoltary exhorted by Reynolds to be enacted in Paris and elsewhere throughout the country. The very first battle up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author. "Biarmarck prepared the war, Napoleon III. wanted it, the great bourgeois looked on. They might have stopped it by an armed attack. Napoleon ordered himself with a grimace. He saw in this war our certain ruin; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have fighting the poor." Glove certificates are selling fast now. On g You'll Fur lined One lot worth Mr. Reid says: "This Political History that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, comes from having seen many of the events from the range of the subjects, and from access to much unpublished information, and Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the war, and Governor Brough, in the records of communication with some of the actors." Again: "As time goes on fuller justice is being done, and the communications by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and Anglo-Saxon mongers for the correction of wrongs and the better development of the country, and finally to a superior of them all, and certainly the political politician of the time, Abraham Lincoln." "Opposition to the institution of slavery arose from religious convictions as to its moral and religious policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because they withdrew from it, influenced because as important as bis or other forms of political of political forces; while that havoc was an important part in the creation of a third party. The Society of Friends led an effort to make the public prints as to whether Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Benjamin Lund or Chas, of moral influence for the eradication of slavery, was a member of the outspoken utterances in the P-vesyterian, Baptist and Methodist churches at an early time, in Ohio, Kentucky Tennessee." "The author discusses with painstaking detail the history of the Ommibus Bill," "Repeal of the Missouri Compromise." "The Nomination of Linnell," "The Constitution's wealth of information and breadth of knowledge, which could only result from the leading men of those stirring times." Vol. II opens with a chapter on "The History of the United States in the History of nations wack wrulers are treated with scant respect. They become oppression; they imperial governments and real enemies to human progress. When Mr. Buchanan was brought face to face with the Union and overthrew the government, he construed the fundamental law to be executive. Imagine Andrew Jackson, the executive. Imagine the government, in 1860, would murder men agged in the work of disunion have been killed by House? Would they have bullied him CIVIL: WAR TIMES "One of the most interesting chapters in the volume is one dealing with the reorganization of the Nrgro Soldier." The author tells us, that nearly every important Confederate commander soldier was defeated by one soldier; that the matter was finally decided; that the bill authorizing the enlistment of Nrgro soldiers, was defeated by but one vote—that the Confederate became so visible that the leaders "cause" a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederate made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand, especially interesting at his banner. There are other very interesting chapters in the book, the style is clear, unimaginative, and the author has written instructively. **HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871.** History of the Commune of 1871. Translated from the French of Lissageau by Eleanor Jarl Aveling, New York University Press. "History of the Commune of 1871." History of the Commune of 1871. Translated from the French of Lissageau by Eleanor Jarl Aveling, is a well written volume of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions which have so much to do with the French Revolution. The translator has performed the difficult art of preserving the peculiar epigrammatic and pointed style of all French authors, and the author appears to be a master. The art of the author appears in the form of the author's tags from the opening to the closing chapter of this book of extraordinary importance. The Commune of 1871 was the cunning of French weakness and inebility—that is, the French were rested upon those in authority, and which followed swiftly upon the heels of the French in the war. The armies under that prince of military In reading certain chapters of this book one might easily imagine that the revolt of the French against France were again being carried in Paris and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led up to the war were German are thus described by the author. "Poor France! Who will save thee? The humble, the poor, those who for six years have been oppressed, the poor, while the upper classes sell the nation for a few hours of rest, and the liberals the feather of their ass under the empire, the emperor, unprotected, rise up against the still all-powerful despot. On the one hand young men are forced to work over to the people, faithful children of 1789, resolved to continue the work of the emperor, the liberals, unfit units for the study and conquest of the rights of labor. In vain the emperor, their forces, to seduce the workingmen." The author then follows up with a description of the terrific profiling struggle of the victim, who was finally burst forth in all the horrors of the Commune. Marselles, Toulouse and Narbonne were soon to be converted into veritable human slaughter houses, in this friecidical manner. The police checked violence finds few counterparts in the history of the human race, and the only violence which have bithered been obsequence to the student body. In this author, in his work which considered either from a literary or historical view, the achievement of no inconsiderable merit. 刻 画 像 MONEY, BANKING, AND FINANCE.

Its French and its pages must have been written many times, and its most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself in Hebrew, but the book is written in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not prevent him from being in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated in the book, and the author is attributed with fairness. The fault is found to be not all on the part of Gentile and Gentile with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest short The treatment given the subject is historical, successive, and difficult. Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps the most important learn how much of proselytizing has been carried on reproclamation. Gentiles have been the neighbors. From this has resulted a greater mixture of race than Jews would, and does not believe in race distinctions whether these be founded upon the color of the skin. So long, however, as the opinion prevails that the Jews are founded upon the part and inferiority on the other part there is likely to well as between Jew white. There are too many illustrative accounts of this country, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called upon to decide questions daily arising here. FORMS OF ENGLISH POETRY.

He is not alone in such experiences. We can all place equity. STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF MINNESOTA, District Court, Second Judicial District.
