Tuskegee Institute Gives $600,000 to the Institution on Condition that Booker T. Washington is Provided For. New York, April 23.—Andrew Carnegie has given $600,000 to the degree institution, requiring as a addition of the gift that Bookes T. Washington, the president of thegro educational institution, be divided for, together with his wife and family. Carnegie attended the cent meeting on behalf of the institute, when former President weland presided The gift was made known in a letter to William Baldwin, Jr., a trustee of the institution. A meeting of the board trustees will be called soon to accept formally the gift, and to take measures to increase the endowment. The letter from Carnegie read as follows: New York, April 17.—William H. dwin, Jr., Trustee—My Dear friend: I have instructed Mr. anks, my cashier, to deliver to as trustee of Tuskegee institute, 400,000 in 5 per cent United States Steel company first mortgage fund, toward the endowment fund. I give this without reservation, except that I require that suitable division be made from the gift for wants of Booker Washington THE ISSUE OF HUMAN RIGHTS. The recent speech of ex-President Cleveland, deliverek at a meeting the interest of Southern education, has brought out a variety of comment. His expression of faith in the honor and sincerity of the expectable white people of the south, in their relations to the New and his improvement and well-being, has been received with heart, approval and appreciation, especially by the New York papers that are defending the "let alone" policy of the South. We would not for a moment deny the existence of his class of white people in the south, but the trouble is that their influence seems so rarely exerted for the betterment of existing conditions. The New York Evening Post keeps the nub of the situation when he maintains that the political rights of the Negro are inseparably bound up with the cause os education. It points out that it is the colored men most worthy whom the Southern greens and Southern congressmen most bitterly assail. It concludes a grogent and forceful editorial on the relations of "The South and the Induced Negro," with the follow- ing conclusion: "There is, un- notedly, timidity and truckling. Both will be made a-hamed, or wreep away, if the clear issue of hu- man rights, with the guarantee of the constitution, is pressed as a CARNEGIE'S LETTER and his family during his own or his wife's life. I wish that great and good man to be entirely free from pecuniary cares that he be free to devote himself to his great mission. To me he seems one of the greatest of living men, because his work is unique, the modern Moses, who leads his race and lifts it through education, to even better and higher things than a land overflowing with milk and honey. History is to tell of two Washington, one white, the other black, both fathers of their people. I am satisfied that the serious race problem of the south is to be solved wisely, only through our. Washington's policy of educat on—to which he seems to have been specially bor—a slve among slaves—to establish and in his own day greatly to advance. Glad am I to be able to assist this good work in which you and others so zealously labor. SEARCHLIGHT $1.00 Per Year should be. Commenting upon Mr. Cleveland's speech, the New York Tribune points out pithily that patience has a goal. It says that "endurance of discrimination, a sympathetic attitude toward the South while it is dealing with the Negro in its own way, is founded on the distinct understanding that the ultimate solution is the giving to every Negro as he shall become worthy of it the full measure of his civil and politic rights. The trouble with this view of the case is that no such understanding is recognized by the ruling class of Southern whites, who have usurped the reigns of authority. "The respectable white people of the South," in whose "nomor and sincerity" Mr. Cleveland puts his faith, are a negligible quantity, who can have little or no voice in the disfranchising policy now pursued. It is to be regretted that Mr. Cleveland did not go further and impress upon the South the necessity for fair dealing this matter of civil and political rights, as he could have done with greater weight and authority than any other man in the nation. He might have aroused 'the respectable white people of the South.' to a higher sense of their duty to themselves and to the black men within their borders. Such an utterance from him would have been in harmony with his character or candor and courage, and could not have failed to command attention and respect.—New York Age.

NEGROES AND In the south where N Dominates There Strikes, Negroes in work and no s ere Negro Labor here Are Few roes Believe al no Strikes. In the south where Negro Labor Dominates There Are Few Strikes, Negroes Believe in work and no Strikes. good wages and be guaranteed a steady job. Apparently a steady job and fair wages are exactly what he doesn't want—what he is striking against. Now if the Southerners were rid of the Negroes and had these chronic strikers in their places, where would they be at? They would be in the worst trouble they have experienced since the war. They would howl for the Negroes to come back and do their work, wuld raise their wages, would almost even let him vote. The Negro is not a union crank. He is not against union, but has no sympathy with their excesses. That he is willing to work for fair wages does not prove that he is still a slave, or lacks a reasonable degree of independence. But the unions, many of them, are no friends of his and he knows it. They deny him, or would, if they could, the chance to work at anything to live. They would never but an eye if a million Negroes were starving to death because they could not get work. They would shut him out of all opportunity to work if they could. This does not apply to all union working-men as inidividuals, nor to some unions; but it applies to too many of them. And if the unions keep on increasing their unreasonable and arbitrary demands, and interfering with business, and paralyzing industry and injuring the public and dest oying property and life, the Negro may in consequence have a better chance. And the time will come when the law will protect him against mob violence when he gets a job, 'oo.—New A Portland Oregon. Strikes! Strikes! Strikes! Everywhere, all over the northern states strikes are the burden of the day's news. The unions have industry partially tied up or paralyzed in many citees, as they have here. Sometimes they may be more than half right. Unions are in principle all right. Workingmen hrd to organize to protect themselves from the tyrannum of organized capital, but the "labor leaders" have shown themselves on many occasions to be at heart quite intolerant and tyrannical as the capitalists. As soon as they get enough they want more. They had rather be idle and quarrel half the time and get $4 a day for the ther half than to work steadily, peaceably and pleasantly the year through for $3.50. Why are there no strikes in the South, where nearly all the labor is done by the colored people? There are several reasons, but the principal one is that the colored workmen are willing to accept fair wages, or even a little less, if necessary, rather than to be on a strike half the time. The southern white rhodeomontadists who talk about deportation of Negroes, of wanting to get rid of them, are talking utter folly. What would the South do with this white labor, infected with the strike microbe? The average white workman, as soon as he joins a union a has a good job, gets the strike fever. He only works a few days till the strike microbe begins to work. No matter how much wages he gets he wants more. No matter how short his hours are, he wants them shorter. He had rather go to a hall with a lot of others like him and talk of the rights of labor and let his family go hungry, or be fed by contributions from other men who are at work, than to work for Revenue Marine Service Flag. The revenue marine service flag, authorized by act of Congress March 2, 1799, was originally prescribed to consist of sixteen perpendicular stiles, alternate red and white, the union of the ensign bearing the arms of the United States in dark blue on a white field." The sixteen stripes represented the number of states which had been admitted to the union at that time and no change has been made since. Prior to 1871 it bore an eagle in the union of the pennant, which was then substituted by thirteen blue stars in a white field, but the eagle and stars are still retained in the flag.

We find in a special dispatch to the New York World this very interesting announcement. La Crosse, Wis. April 12.—J. C. Perkins, who represent d the colored population o La Crosse county when President Roosevelt visited the city April 4, and who presented him with a bouque', has been elected judge of the Shelby district of this county. He is the first colored judge of Wisconsin, and perhaps the only ex-slave in the United States elected judge. He was born into a population of five hundred slaves owned by Col. Dawson of Holly Springs Miss., in 1840, and took his name from Col. Perkins of the rebel army whose servant he was during part of the war. The voters of the Shelby district have made no mistake I fancy. A colored man with such a record as that of Judge Perkins is like y to make an admirable magistrate. Reared under the civilizing influences of slavery, informed by long observation of the habits and practices of gentlemen; the body servant of a gallant southern officer; a faithful friend, a devoted adherent—Judge Perkins of Wisconsin will bring to his new office an equipment of culture, tradition and honorable purpose invaluable to any man charged with such duties and responsibilities. His case is almost exactly similar to that of Hon. Jas. Lewis, the surveyor general of Louisiana. Lewis, too, was a slave. He also followed his maste in the civil war, doing valiant and loyal service—not for the confederate cause, but for his friend and playmate, to whom he belonged and whom he loved and honored beyond all words. When Col. Druex was killed in one of the earlier Virginia campaigns, Jim Lewis wept over him and buried him. Then he went back to New Orleans and having discharged what he thought his duty, espoused the Union cause and went to war beneath the Union flag. He was a good soldier. He has ever since been an honest man. He enjoys the respect and confidence of the better class of whites, and his appointment to an important place by President McKimley provoked no protest from any considerable source. It is difficult for Northern people to understand these things, but Southern men understand them with perfect ease and thoughtfulness. Washington Post. J. C. Perkins, of La Crosse county, Wis., has been elected judge of the Shelby district of that county. According to the census of 1900, there were 70 Negro men and women in La Crosse Co., and we conclude that these seventy are not all in the Shelby district which elected Judge Perkins. The Washington Post says considerable stress upon the fact, that being reared under the civilizing influences of slavery, where he had a chance to watch and imitate his master's doing; he will bring to his new office an equipment of culture, tradition and honorable purpose, invaluable to any man charged with such duties and responsibilities. Of all the rot ever written this is the rottenast, and such rot as only the Washington Post can use, when dealing with the Negro. If the standard set by the Post be applied, how many millions of Negroes in the South today stand ready on account of the civilizing influences of s avery to fill any office anywhere in the South? But this Negro was elected by white voters, in a white community. It is but another evidence that if the Negro be given a chance in life, he will make his way to the front, to the top, just an any other man to whom God has given brain, ability and character. Judge Perkins comes from the state of Senator Money (Mississippi) and we must heartily congratulate Judge Perkins, knowing-and feeling that his judicial career will best give the denial to the assertion recently made upon the floor of the United States senate, by the senator elected by the oligarchy of Mississippi in defiance to the laws of man and the law of God which says: "Thou shalt not steal." But we suppose the 8th Commandment has become obsolete and gone into inocuous desuetude to that part of this country.—St, Luke Herald.

And just as much as it is the interest of capitalists to create a monopoly of capital—the means of production and distribution—so it is the interest of the laborers to create a monopoly of labor; for capitalists combine to rob the laborers of the greatest possible amount of the products, and the laborers must combine for the same purpose—to secure the greatest possible amount of their product. Is it not just as true of the small capitalists who most compete—that they get the smallest profits and are oftener driven to the wall—as it is of the unorganized laborers who get the smallest wages. Organization Essential. Organization is one of the essential qualities necessary to success in any department of human activity. It is the essential quality that makes a successful nation, government, society, business enterprise, or any body of business enterprise, or to carry out a specific purpose. Just as strong reasons as exist for a social or business organization exists for an organization of workingmen, and the stronger and more harmonious the organization, in all cases the greater the success attained. Capital has competed and still competes, but the tendency is always toward combination—namely, organization; capitalists have always been united in their opposition to workingmen. On the other hand, workingmen have usually competed and lacked organization, and their productive power increased. L. R. DELANEY, Ticket Agent.

John Maxwell, born a slave, brought to Chicago by George Hankins, an old-time gambler 39 years ago, and the first colored undertaker of this city, died at his home, 817 Kinzie street at the age of 60 years. In slavery times he was sold for $1,400 to a Kentucky man who set him to work on a Mississippi steam boat and appropriated his earnings. In 1861 Maxwell was driven to Memphis, Tenn., to escape capture by the Yankees. Later he made his way to New Orleans and Omaha, and was at the latter place when Lincoln's proclamation freeing the slaves was issued. Maxwell was a member of the undertakers association and the Odd Fellows and Masonic fraternities. ay Second Class ursion to the California daily during period me 15, inclusive NEWS: — $25.00 25.00 20.00 22.50 25.00 ents in proportion to those above med and for full information and through our accommodations S.

He is legally dead, and the question arises whether before the law he can be hanged again. He is now able to sit up and the prison authorities say he will recover. The Negro was hanged two weeks ago. After he was pronounced dead he was cut down as is usual and shortly afterward began to show signs of life. A physician was summoned and applied restoratives and the man is now able to sit up. This is the first man ever hanged in Randolph county, and the fact that he was cut down before he was dead was due to the nervousness of the officials.
