We do not wish to etter into a discussion, but how can we avoid a few words? The Charleston News and Courier says: "The Independent cannot point to one example in American or United States history of a Negro, who has measured up to use an overworked phrase which we hate; nor has he half not a considerable infusion of white blood. We trust the Independent will treat this statement as a challenge." Why confine the challenge of America? Is it to exclude Menikil, King of Abyssinia, who is a Negro, and who lately killed 30,000 Italians; or the Zulu, who is pretty well to the British officers; or Sebuitani, king of the Makoloji? But it does not exclude Toussaint L'Ouverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines, who drove the French out of Africa and then moved the wanis men of peace, who have come in the first generation out of slavery. We would mention Richard Allen and Richard-Varick, founders of the African and the Methodist churches, and E. B. Elkinson,gress from South Carolina: Joseph C. Price, late of Salisbury, N. C. one of the ablest speakers we have ever heard: Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the poet, and Edward W. Blyden, scholar and philosopher, and a multitude more could be mentioned. But the game is not worth the powder.—From the Independent. THE JIM CROW LIBRARY. Several days ago it was announced that Andrew Carnegie had offered the city of Atlanta, Georgia, the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars for the purpose of erecting a library especially for Afro-Americans. Later on the announcement was made that they were averse to receiving the gift, because it would cost the municipality One Thousand Dollars per annum to maintain it. It is very greatly to be regretted that this tentative offer was made by Mr. Carnegie, because it is a recognition of the intolerable race hatred at the South, and of which the people are the manged victims. A public library is an institution belonging to the public, and there never yet has been a definition of that term so narrow as to embrace but one people. It is a public library that comprehensive and includes every citizen of whatsoever racial origin, and when an attempt is made to establish a separate library—a separate public library for Afro-Americans or for white people, it is a concession to the spirit of caste, which may be made with some difficulty. It is a public library born in the south, but when made by a man of Mr. Carnegie's antecedents and position, smacks as a distinct obeisance to, and encouragement of the spirit of despotism, which in its last analysis is the real spirit of the South. Again the yule tide is here and jolly old Santa Claus is making his annual distribution of favors to both old and young. Tomorrow is Christmas, the birthday of our Lord and Saviour, and ever more to come. This is a time when all should feel good and generous; and the aim of each should be to make others happy so far as lies in one's power. Then, too, our hearts should be filled with gratitude to God, for the blessings he has bestowed. Many of us may feel that the past year has been full of woes too numerous to mention, but what one of us is there who cannot look around in amazement at the evidence of having had a harder time than himself. And a retrospection of the past twelve months would show that the blessings of our Divine Father have greatly outnumbered the woes. Then let us all wish us for things might have been much worse. We are happy and wish all a Merry Christmas. The Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette has investigated an interesting sociological phenomenon with a painstaking and penetrative profundity that is ponderable, if not prodigious. The conclusion is that the Gazette is a character, that we hasten to reveal it to the readers of the Appeal; the subscription price of which will remain as at present. The Gazette says: "It does seem that, for all the country north of Arkansas, Roessel can keep a place at his dinner-table reserved for Booker Washington." The Gazette is right; in our opinion, blasted section would not care if Jeff Davis should invite Booker to come over into Arkansas and drink in the capital film in the new capital at Little Rock. END OF KING'S PRIVATE BAND English Monarch Not a Lover of Stately Music. King Edward has given order for the disbandment of his private band, one of the ancient features of his court. In its present form it was established by Charles II, and Some authorities assert that a "state" band existed in the days of Queen Elizabeth I. The monarch, the musicians, under the direction of Sir Walter Parratt, "master of the music." Its members are the best that can be secured in England, and this is the real cause of its dissolution. Unlike his mother, King Edward does not care much for state concerts by his own musicians, and since his accession the duties of the band have been confined chiefly to the playing of light music, including the dirigible. This they regard as undignified and the king regards as extravagant. The same music can be played as well by fewer and less notable musicians. There Is No Unbelief. There is no unbelief: When plains are seed beneath the sod And wait to see a way the clod, Trusts he in God. There is no unbelief: Wherever says, when clouds are in the sky. Be patient, heart, light breaketh by and by. Trusts the most High. There is no unbelief! Whoever sees 'neath winter's fields of snow The silent harvests of the future grow, God's power must know. There is no unbelief! Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep, Content to lock each sense in slumber deep, God will keep Knows God will keep. There is no unbelief! Whoever is unmowr, the unknown, The future, trusts that power alone: Nor dares disown. There is no unbelief! The heart that clocks on when dear eye, lids close And dares to live when life has only woes. God's comfort knows. There is no unbelief! For thus by day and night unconsciously The heart lives by that faith the lips do. God knoweth why ____ His Task Too Hard. The Austrian treasury was in a deplorable condition when the war with France broke out in 1859, and when Baron Bruck, who had charge of the national finances at the time, was called up to respond to the toast, "May God defend the army," the minister replied that his "fervent prayer was that God would, for he himself would not be able to do so much longer." The baron found his task even more difficult, evidently, than he expected, for he took his own life before the war was over. Wisdom of Experience. "What is your opinion as to long engagements?" queried the young man whose springtime fancy lightly turned to thoughts of a matrimonial nature. "They're the worst ever." answered the man who had found it necessary to comb his hair with a towel for it, these many moons. "A long engagement means a short bank balance to begin housekeeping on." Not a Repeater. not a repeater. "These old men make me weary" sign the professor. "What's the matter now?" queried the other half of the sketch.

By William Henry Smith. With an introduction by Whitelaw Reid. Two volumes. 8vo. Net. $160. By mail, $6.00. 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, from the early days of the 15th century to the close of the Reconstruction period in the United States. There is an introduction by Whitelaw Reid, which tells of Mr. Smith's career and which gives quite an extended criticism of these two very instructive vol- strategists Von Moltke. One might easily imagine that the revolving cruelties of the Revolution were again throughout the country. The events which led up to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: "Hismark prepared the war, Napoleon III. wanted it, the great bourgeoise looked on. They might have stopped it by an earnest gesture. Mr. Thiers contented himself with a grimace. He saw in this war our certain rule; he knew our terrible inferiority in everything; he could have" There's a cut glass; sterling silver; articles of every description special holiday features. Glove certificates are selling fast now. On your line! One lot worth Mr. Reid says: "This Political History that comes from having seen many of the events from the inside as they occurred, that comes from having seen many of the events from access to much unpublished information from access to much unpublished information from Governor Brough, in the records of the state office held during a critical part of the war, and in communication with some of the actors." Again: "As time goes on fuller justice is being applied to the bounds by which a free people enlarged the bounds of freedom, to communities and Anglo-Saxon magis for the correction of wrongs and the better development of Anglo-Saxon magis for the correction of Gretey first among public educators, to Chase and Seward, Stanton and Wells, and Igers, and finally to the peer, if not the superior of them all, and certainly the most capable politician of the list, Abra In Chapter I, the author says: "If there is one thing clearly established, it is that slavery was deprecated by the men who formed the Constitution; who, recognizing that such an institution was inconsistent with Christian civilization, inconsistent with the great principles of civil liberty for which the colonies had contended, and which constitute the basis of our Republic, refrained from inserting in that great charter a name so repulsive to freedom. We must conclude that they were repelient witnesses to the public sentiment of that day. There was no state free from the taint of slavery and the feeling that it was injurious to society was in no sense dependent upon sectional lines. Its ultimate extinction was generally confidently expected: emancipation was to be the rule. This came early north of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that if there had been no inhibition of the African slave trade, emancipation would have followed in Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee. "Opposition to the institution of slavery across from religious convictions as to its moral and religious policies. The resistance of those who with Mr. Jefferson condemned it because of its religious content, to the same impotent as his, or suicided to the violence of political forces; while that having an importance in religious feelings poses an obstacle to the third party. The Society of Friends led all other organizations to the employment of public priests as to the Lloyd Gordon, Benjamin Lund or Chas. moral influence for the eradication of slavery outspoken utterances in the *P. esbytrichum* Baptist and Methodist churches at an early time especially in Ohio. Kentucky especially in Ohio. Some years ago, who had been conspicuous as a leader in the anti-slavery parties, endeavored to show the unfairfulness of his history. He was with the genesis of modern�abilitism, and the reunion of the first Osborne was entitled to be styled the first Osborne. But the Genes of the writer who challenged the truth of history, clearly established the claims of Osborne, or be mentioned before either of the Gions, but strangely overlooked the claims of others who care was strikingly like that of Londy—John Woolman, a Friend, who was born in New Jersey about 1720. Then follows an acguing, interesting and a good-career, exceedingly interesting and a good-career, when about 26 years of age he visited North Carolina, where he sought to arouse the consciences of slaves—and to show how his sideraids on the Keeping of Negrees. After his death in 1772, his journal, which was published, had a wide circulation, and shows that his life was given to the work of the pathway he trained from colony to colony preaching mon�strating and counseling. The author discusses with painstaking details of the Free Soil Movement. "The Osborne Bill," "Keepers Dismissed Comprovise," "The Nomination of Lincoln," and in their discussion exhibits a wealth of information and breadth of knowledge which could only stand from many years study and read with the leading men of those stirring times. Vol. II, opens with a chapter on "The Outbreak of the War" in which he says: "In the history of nations weak rulers are treated with scant respect. They become the dupes of Knaves, the instrument of oppression; they imperil governments and invite disorders to enter in; they are the real enemies to human progress." When Mr. Buchanan was brought face to face with men resolute in purpose to disrupt the Union and overthrow the government, he construed the fundamental law to be as impotent as he was in fact as the executive. Imagine Andrew Jackson, the executive head of the government in 1860-61. Would members of Congress engaged in the work of disunion have been welcomed at the White House? Would they have bullied him CIVIL WAR TIMES **Civil War Times.** By Daniel Walt Howe, author of the Puritan Republic, and H. H. Indianapolis: Dobbs Merrill Co. The war of '61 will never cease—at least for the giants perennial and never failing topic of absorbing interest. This is so. because it is the war of those giants still survive its virescitudes; those giants escaped, and the imminent bodily death of them will fulfil murchars; its Gettysburg and Chickamauga games the finale of that concluding war; and finally the various activities of American life. Because of these things the author's with profit; by any one and many incidents of the great strife which has hitherto unwritten, is brought forth by Mr. Howe. One of the most interesting chapters in the history of the Confederacy toward the "Nero Soldier." The author tells us that, during the administration of the Confederacy toward the "Nero Soldier," the author tells us that, the matter was finally deferred; the master favored the enlistment of black soldiers; that the matter was finally deferred; the master favored the enlistment of Negro soldiers; was defeated by but one vote—that the Confederacy desecrate circumstances of the Confederacy became so visible that the leaders were forced to cause a draft order was issued to force the black soldier to fight under the Confederacy; that the Confederacy made effective, the fall of Richmond, and the flight of Jefferson Davis was at hand. This is especially interesting at under its banner. There are other very interesting chapters on the language and nature, clear uninvolved and natural, and the author has written instructively. **HISTORY OF THE COMMUNE OF 1871.** History of the Commune of 1871. Translated from the French of Lissagourg by Eleanor Marx Aveling. New York: HarperCollins Publishers. **"History of the Commune of 1871."** translated from the French of Lissagourg. Translated from the Commune of history, dealing with one of those political convulsions which have so frequently shook France to its foundation. The translator has performed the difficult translation and poised style of all French prose, and of which Lissagourg appears to be the descriptive art of the author never lags from the opening to the closing pages, and this book of extraordinary happenings. The Commune of 1871 was the culmination of French weakness and imbecility—the culmination of a criminal torpor that rested upon those in authority, and which followed swiftly upon the heels of the prostration of the French by the wonderful armies under that prince of military strategists Von Moltke. In reading certain chapters of this book, I found myself in a situation where gruff cruelties of the Revolution were again present. Paris and elsewhere throughout the country. The events which led to the war with Germany are thus described by the author: "Bismark prepared the war, Napoleon II. Wattened, the great bourgeois looked on. He was a man of great earnest gesture. M. Thiers contended himself with a gratitude. He saw in this book the great power of inferiority in everything; he could have united the Left, the tiers-parti, the journalists have made palpable to them the strength of opinion, have said to the Tuilierers, to Paris if needs be, "War is impossible; we shall combat it as treasured." "Poor France! Who will save thee? The humble, the poor, those who for six years contended for thee with the Empire. While the upper classes sell the nation for a new land of rest, and the liberals seek to feather the heists, the war of empire, the empire, a handful of men, without arms, unprotected, rise up against the still all-powerful despot. On the one hand young men who form the bourgeoise have gone over to the people, faithful children of the classes to continue the work of the Revolution on the end of the war, or in the long run for the study and conquest of the rights of labor. In vain the empire attempts to split their forces, to seduce the workingmen." The author then follows up with a description of the terrific political struggle between the contending factions which finally burst forth in all the horrors of the Commune. Paris, Marseilles, Toulouse and Narbon were soon to be converted into veritable human slaughter houses, in this fratricidal struggle which for few counterparts of the到底的finds of counterparts in the history of the human family. Many new events—that is events which have hitherto been obscure to the student of that period are brought forward by the author. In his work which considered the first from a literary or historical viewpoint is an achievement of no inaccessible merit. ```markdown ``` BOLLES'S, BANKING, AND FINANCE.

Cloth, 12mo, 336 pages. Price, $1.25. American Book Company, New York. Cloth, 12mo, 336 pages.

It is a brief, practical treatise on the theory of money. Printed and Usaged Banking and the Principles of Finance. The author describes the best banking practice of the day, and adds those legal principles which refer to the topics taken up. This is the first book of its scope, filling a place between the two parts of the bank bookbook.

It is a translation from the French, and its pages must have been written many months before, those outbreaks gave a most painful interest to the Jewish question. The author is himself a Hebrew, and subject to all the odium that is implied in the title to his book, but this circumstance does not seem to have biased his judgment in the forming of his opinions. The case is certainly stated with great candor, and the blame is distributed with fairness. The fault is found to be not all on the part of the Gentile world, but the Israelite himself is charged with having brought much of the trouble to his people by manifest shortcomings. The treatment given the subject is his histories, his relations between Jews and Gentiles are traced from the earliest times. Perhaps he learn how much of prosewriting has been carried on reciprocation between Jews and Gentiles. From this has resulted a greater mixture of race and gender in the Mit. The author does not believe in race distinctions whether these be founded upon language, shape or race. So long, however, as the opinion prevails that a direct part and inferiority on the other part and inferiority on the other part and Gentile as well as between black and white. There are too many illustrative accounts of this country, and this book can be read with profit by many who are called to decide questions daily arising here. FORMS OF ENGLISH POETRY. By JOHN B. HARRIS. Boston: Harvard University, American Book Company. New York, Cincinnati and Chicago.

The theme here is the diverse disses is sketched and briefly illustrated by examples, but the true character of poetry is often revealed in ways kept in evidence. The book will cultivate an appreciation and a love of poetic literature, and will arouse in the reader a sense of pride.

Hall Wednesday Evening, Dec. 21st—A Grand Time for All The members of North Star Lodge No. 138 U. B. F. made their grand initial bow to the public on last Wednesday evening at G. A. R. Hall, No. 116 E. Sixth street, opposite the postoffice, on which occasion they installed all their officers for the ensuing year. They had invited the liaisons of Corinthian Temple No. 112 Sisters of Mysterious Ten to install their officers at the same time and a grand joint installation was held. The installation was ably conducted by District Deputy Grand Master W. D. Carter, D. D. Prior to the installation a pleasing program was rendered as follows: **PROGRAM.** Overture .....

The program which was rendered on this occasion was a most delightful one and pleased every body as each number was roundly applauded and all were compelled to respond to encores. Especially delightful were the numbers given by the Coleridge-Taylor Quartet; their voices showed careful training and harmonious study. The aggregation is one of which St. Paul may well be proud. The splendid voice of Mr. C. H. Miller was its best and carried with it the usual pleasure. The piano duet of the little Adams sisters, who made their debut on this occasion, was a most pleasing surprise and complements galore were showered upon the little misses. The paper by the newly elected Worthy Master, J. R. White, was most excellent in every particular. Of course the music furnished by Prof. Arment and his orchestra was excellent and in fact the whole affair was most excellent in every partition. The programs which were distributed were very diverse and unique and appropriate. There was a large crowd present taxing the capacity of the hall. After the exercises a large dining hall in the rear of the main hall was thrown N. Weiler & Son's Family Wine and Liquor House, 622 AND 624 UNIVERSITY AVE., CORNER DALE ST.

HOW YOU WIN BECAUSE THE OTHER FELLOW LOST One of my competitors got crowded pretty close to the edge last week, and I think he would have fallen off (into Failure) if I hadn't needed some more bargains for the $15 department. His goods are something to be proud of, but I can't say as much for his prices. He was one of the old school—few customers and large profits. I'm sorry for anyone who hasn't got acquainted with Progress, because while Progress is a fine thing if you ride in the same seat with it, Progress is a tough proposition for the fellow it runs over. Well, that tailor shaved the price of his stock right down to the core, and these fabrics that, drew $30, $35 and $40 for him go in Mitchell's stock, made any way you like, suit or overcoat, for $15. There were about four hundred pieces in his stock of extra good suit and overcoat materials. It didn't make much disturbance to find room for them, but it makes fancy picking for the man who needs a winter suit or overcoat. Needless to say, come early. Your Prop.
