THE WILMINGTON MESSElTo-U!S, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1802. Entered at the Postofflce at Wilming ton. N. C, a Second-Class Matter. 'April 12. 1579. 31 AS SACUISETTS AX ASYLUM FOR SOUTHERN XKCRO COWICTS. Some time ago -when Governor Davis, of Arkansas, agreed io pardon a negro convict, who had applied for executive clemency, on condition that he would go immedaitely to Massachusetts and iri;:fce his future home in that state, he was denounced by the press in some St v Jons of the country and ridiculed by that of others He received com mendation from a few newspapers. Governor Davis object in. attaching thi.s condition to the negro's pardon w:-: to give the New Englanders an opportunity of exercising that philan thropic disposition toward the baser clu3 of negroes that they were con t tinually claiming existed in their sec tion in contrast to his treatment at the south. Judging from the recent action of Governor Crane, of that state, he is in clined to fall in line with the Idea of Gov. Davi3 and aiake his state a home for the negro criminals of the south. It is sincerely hoped he will continue to act upon this and let it be generally known that all negroes who com mit crimes In the south will bo given safe asylum In his state. If this news could be spread broadcast among this class of our negroes, and the state authorities here .would exercise a little discretion in the matter of making ar rests Governor Crane would be en abled to carry out his cherished ideas to a pretty full extent- This plan would save the southern states tre mendous expense in the way of trials and supporting in prison these negro convicts and would rid them of many an objectionable citizen. Instead of havin j the criminals turned lose upon the people as soon as his term of im prisonr.ient expired, to prey upon their good.s .ind chattels or put their lives in jeopardy, he would be gotten rid of for all time to come. In one case at least. Governor Crane has acted upon the suggestion of the Arkansas governor and thrown the protection of his state about a negro criminial from the south. A negro named Monroe Rogers, being charged with burning a dwelling house in Dur ham county, in this state, fled to Mas sachusetts, where he was arrested. Re quisition for his leturn made by Gov ernor Ay cock has, so far, been refused, and the officer sent to bring the pris oner back has returned without him adntl.s that he committed the arson. The o.Jy opposition to his return is the pretended belief that he will not bet permitted a trial, but will be lynched -as soon as he reaches Durham; and this the governor of Massachusetts pretends to leli:ve and says he will not order the man's return until he is convinced .there Is no danger of this. This Is so preposterous, so absurd a reason to give for refusing extradition of the criminal who confesses to hav ing committed a capital crime that one is greatly Inclined to doubt the sin cerity of the governor or to charge him with, gross ignorance. It may be pure spite and determination to in every way possible thwart the of ficials of southern states in their en deavors to punish negroes who com mits grave crimes and to protect the later In their depredations upon the property of the white people. If Governor dune has mads up hia mind to refuse extradition for negro criminals from this state we say let as many of our criminals of that race as possible escape io his state- Let it be known that if they go there nc attempt will be mAde to bring them back. Whatever may be Governor Crane's motives, his action is a gross libel on the people of this state, whose courts are as clean and where justice is a5 evenly meted out as in those of his own state, and our people are as up right and law abiding. THE XEGKO CONGRESS. This great gathering In Atlanta of representative colored men from all parts of the country adjourned Sun day, the closing feature being tha adop tion of resolutions setting forth the ob ject of the meeting and containing an address to the negro race. In reference to the improved condi tion of the negro these resolutions say: "In spite of the theorists and their theories, both before and after emanci pation, we have shown ourselves able to live and thrive. While our material grOwh has not been quite as marked as our numerical growth, yet the results are highly satisfactory and encourag ing. A generation ago we came out of "bondage without a foot of land, without a home, without a name. Even tha clothes which covered our poorly-clad bodies were not ours. Today we have some land, some homes, some money. Testerday we had nothing; today wo owa millions of acres of land, pay tax on property worth millions of dollars and raise more cotton under freedom than under slavery. These facts show conclusively that the negro is frugal and industrious, and Is constantly growing into the economic and national life of the nation. "While there Is still room lor a better and higher moral life among us, yet unmistakable evidences or a purer jooui and individual life are most gratifying. In fixing our moral status, we ask you n matter of fair olay. not to judge us by our worst as has so often been lone -but rather by our best. While we are laboring earnestly to lift up and saYd our more uniortunate nreiureu, wb ask vou to continue to help us nd 1 . . - . - --;V, ,,, IWJUial tO De pAtiii. m ua. ' JTEat a flat contradiction of the has slanders pt Professor ieaa ana nis Stripe (of -toffueers. of tne wtute peopie of the south in regard to their treat ment of the negroes are these utter ances of the leaders of their race. They show that the negroes have been given chances and have availed themselves thereof. As to the object of the congress the resolutions say; "Our purpose here has been to deal with problems which confront the re pubic in its complex national life; but more especially, to deal with those problems that are more essentially the negro's, and which, in the very nature of the ease, must be virtually solved by him. While on the one hand, we have had wrongs and grievances many, Jbn the other hand, we have had oppor tunities and privileges innumerable and we are so deely convinced that to show ourselves worthy of the latter, is in finitely better than to permit ourselves to be discouraged by the former. What ever of burdens we may still have to endure, or adjustments which are yet to be made, we throw ouselves upon justice and fair play of the American people, north and south, and declare our unreserved conviction that right In the end will prevail." For the sake of the colored race as well as of our own we sincerely hop good may come out of this congress of negroes, gathered to discuss in a tem perate manner the condition of their race and to devise means for its improvement. THE PHILIPPINE FRIARS. Now that it is about settled that the friars In the Philippines will be remov ed and their places filled with other Catholic priests, two very important questions arise: Where are these friars to go? Where are the priests to come from who will take their places? As to the last question, our government has Informed the pope that it desires these vacations filled by priests from the United States, and he has consented to the proposition as both sensible and desirable that this should be so, but then it is said that there are not a hundred Catholic priests to be spared in this country; in fact more are needed. A proposition was made that American priests be sent to the Philippines and their places here filled by priests from France and Spain. This of course would not do; for the American congre gations would be greatly opposed to this change, and rightly so. English is to become the language of the islands, so it is desirous that as many as possible of the priests should be able to speak it and also be familiar with our institutions and mode of gov ernment. But it is out of the question to fill the vacancies from this country. The friars cannot be exchanged for priests of other countries, for none of them want them and none has a sur plus to be drawn upon. This question is still unsettled. The first auestion: Where are the Pilippine friars to go? is equally as difficult. The Vatican has approved of the plan of our government that they should be supplanted by others, but it does not know what to do with them after they leave the islands. They can not be turned adrift on the world to starve or live by begging; but no country wants them. The South Amer ican states have refused to receive them; Spain will not have them; France, of course, could do nothing for them. What then is to become of them? This question will be settled some how after awhile, but it will take time. Our government is determined to get rid of them, and the pope is working in harmory with it to this end, but it is a serious question and one in which neither party will be willing to act ' hastily. KING EDWARD VII. I What about all the soothsayers prophets and palmists who predicted that Edward wjuld never be crowned. These predictions were the cause of anxiety to a great many people, and when the king's Midden illness just be fore the time. first set for the corona tion was announced and the ceremony postponed the effect of these prophecies was greatly increased. There were many people who firmly believed that :the crown would never rest on the head of the king. While the pageant on Saturday was not as gorgeous as it was at first in tended the ceremonies should be, they were much more impressive. The Brit ish people were deeply grieved at the illness of their king, and his recovery was a source of gieat rejoicing to them The recollection among them of the suffering he aad recently passed through and his narrow escape from death increased their love foi him and added to the solemnity of the occasion. Nothwithstanding all that has been said to the disparagement of the king while prince of Wales, he was always popular with the people and had a tre mendous hold on their sincere affec tions. While a &trong advocate of the old traditions and etiquette in court matters and ceremonies, the prince and king in his intercourse with the public has always been affable and of pleas ing manners. England has had no more popular king since the beginning of the reign of the House of Hanover early in the Eighteenth century. His influence, no doubt, it was which put an end to the war in South Africa; anyhow, this is the general belief among the British people and has greatly increased their esteem and affection for him. This war was unpopular among the masses from the first and their opposition to it in creased rapidly as it progressed; so that no act of the king on ascending the throne could have done more to increase the people's love for him. May he continue to hold their respect and love through many years of a pros perous reign. The fourteenth week of the Pennsyl vania coal miners' strike began yester day. President Mitchell says the strik ers are in good condition. SOMEBODY'S FAtXT. Two men were killed in a head-on col lision between a freight and a passenger train oh the Southern railroad not for above Danville at 6 o'clock Sinday morning. The train crews saved their lives by jumping, though several were badly hurt. It is said the engineer of the freight train forgot his orders, and while running at the rate of forty miles an hoar met the passenger train. He says his airbrakes would not work. The conductor says this Is not true, but that the engineer lost hl3 head when he saw the passenger train and did not know what to do. The passenger train had almost stopped when the collision carAe. Whether the airbrakes of the freight train would or would not work there was a fatal mistake made by some body which has cost two lives. There was a heavy freight train running forty miles an hour and a passenger train running in .opposite direction at the same time on a single track. The mis take had been made before the engineer found his brakes would not work, and whoever made the mistake should be made to suffer for his criminal negli gence. PREST. SCIIURMAN'S THREE R'S. Dr. Jacob G. Schurman, president of Cornell univeristy and one of the origi nal Philippine commissioners appointed by President McKinley. has in a recent address Injected three TVs into the present campaign. . His three R's are what he belieVes the people want and what they need to advance their wel fare and to increase the prosperity of the county. Our readers will remember that dur ing a former presidential campaign a certain republican political divine by the name of Burchard launched into the contest his three R's as the chief tenets of the democrats and that his utterances caused great consternation and alarm to hu party friends. This Rev. Mr- Burchard said the three prin ciples upon which the democrats hoped to win were "Rum. Romanism and Re bellion." Dr. Schurman's three R's are very different from these of the Rev. Bur chard. The first of the doctor's R's we can not endorse.. It is "Roosevelt, the nation's leader." The other two are more in line with the ideas and prin ciples of the democratic party. They are: "Reciprocity with Cuba, the na tion's duty" and "Revision of the tariff, the nation's interest." While the democrats can endorse two of Dr. Schurman's R's, the republicans as represented by their leaders In con gress have repudiated the last two, and indications point to their repudiation of the first- It doe3 not look as If Mr. Roosevelt is considered by the republi cans to be their leaders. They have re pudiated his ideas on several important questions. In these the republican president comes nearer advocating the democratic ideas than those of his own party. '.'"' Dr Schurman's second R., reciprocity with Cuba, on which the president has set his heart, is a move toward the democratic Idea of lower tariff. His third R revision of the tariff. Is bound to come as a means to check the growth of the trusts and monopolies against which the president has declared war. Let's see how the president. Dr. Schurman and the democrats are In ac cord on the doctor's three R's. As to the first the president most probably agrees with the doctor. As to the sec ond the president and the democrats stand side by side in advocacy of re ciprocity with Cuba. As to the third, the democrats demand revision of the tariff, and Mr. Roosevelt, before he gets through with his fight in the courts against the trusts, which he has de clared he will destroy, will find that to do so he will have to adopt the demo cratic principle of tariff reduction. Is not Mr. Roosevelt right now as much an advocate of leading demo cratic principles as of those of his own party as set forth by the actions of that party in congress. It must be re membered that the second ranking of ficial in the president's cabinet has said that the only way to attack the trusts is by taking from trust made articles the protection of the present high tariff on their products It has been said of late by men more oapable of judging the past and fore casting the future that Mr. Roosevelt's destiny, politically, would be that of the other four vice-presidents who had succeeded to the presidency Tyier, Fillmore. Johnson and Arthur the in dications are that, instead of simply losing the support as president of the party which had elected him as vice president, he will find himself in a position nearer the lines of the party of opposition that to those of his own people. We look for some wonderful changes before the presidential elec tion in 1904. The American warships in the Philip pines did honor to the coronation of King Edward on Saturday. Forty-one cruisers and gunboats assembled In Manila bay, were dressed and fired twenty-one guns at noon in honor of the occasion. Eczema How it reddens the skin, itches, oozes, dries and scales 1 Some people call it tetter, milk crust or salt rheum. The suffering from it Is sometimes in tense; local applications are resorted to they mitigate, but cannot cure. It proceeds from humors inherited or ac quired and persists until these have been removed. Hood's Sarsaparilla positively removes .them, has radically and permanently cured the worst cases, and is .'without an equal for all cutaneous eruptions.

THE NEGRO CONGRESS AT ATLANTA The convention of prominent negroes from all sections of the country, north and south, now in session -at Atlanta Is a rotable gathering, and we hope that good for their race may result from their deliberations and actions. We are glad to see that this congress of color ed men is not dominated by politicians, but by those o f their race who have the best Interests of their people at heart, by the educators and leaders in the moral and industrial Improvement of the race. These men should have the hearty support and good will of the white people of the south. Here is the negro's home and here it will continue to be despite emigration schemes and exodus campaigns among the masses of the colored people. How much-so-ever we may have opposed it, the negro is now a citizen and is going to continue a fellow citizen of the white people of the southern states. We have got to live together and It is to our interest as well as a moral obligation on us to ele vate him morally and place him upon a plane of intelligence and thrift above that which he occupied as a slave. The taxing of the white property owners to give "book learning" to the negro a question which has been so greatly agitated of late is foreign to the present matter. We are speaking now of giving moral aid to the true leaders of the negroes in their endeavor to raise their race above the low state in which emancipation found them and from which so very many of them have failed to raise themselves since that event. We have been struck vith the conser vative views and sensible ideas express ed by the speakers at this convention. The men are In earnest In their seeking after light for the guidance of their fellow men, and are doing their ut most to lead them in the right paths. During the first two days of the conven tion there were many strong addresses speeches by men who showed under standing of the situation and had a de sire to really aid their people and lead them to a better understanding with their fellow citizens. We quote from the speech of Bishop Gaines in opening the convention: "I believe that the better class of white people in this country are anx ious to see the negro become a wise, in telligent and thrifty citizen. Many of them are helping forward his education by their money and influence. We would be lacking in gratitude to, the white man. both of the north and"the south, did we not gratefully acknow ledge their philanthropic gifts to. the cause of negro education. Our white friends are not our enemies, and though often the worst elements" of our race bring shame upon us, they are wise enough and generous enough not to dis count those of us who are honestly try ing to make good citizens. In this movement we will have the hearty in dorsement of the better class of white people of this country, and the negro who has intelligence and character has nothing to fear from this class who wish him to better his condition. They furnish no barriers to hi3 industrial betterment, but will gladly open to him avenues of employment and useful labor." The extradition branch of the Greene- Gaynor case seems to be as long drawn out as were the proceedings in New York to get the defendants before the court at Savannah. We are promised a decision on the habeas corpus branch of the case next Wednesday, but, of course there will be an appeal. With all the compaint of the department of justice, the Canadian courts are acting as expeditiously as did our own in New York before the defendants were sent to Georgia for trial. So Knipple, one of the alleged lynch ers of the negro at Leesburg, Va., will escape trial, as the governor of Mary land declines to honor the requisition of the governor of Virginia. If Knipple is guilty of participation in this un provoked and unjustifiable lynching it is a pity a Virginia jury Is debarred the opportunity of showing whether it has the moral courage to convict him. It seems the Haytian revolutionary- government claims the same right that Admiral Dewey exercised in Manila bay in 1898. The secretary of war of that island has declared intention to cut the United States and Haytian Telegraph Company's cable, and that company has applied to Washington authorities to prevent it. Senator McMillan, of Michigan, died at an early hour Sunday morning, at Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., after an illness from Indigestion of but a few hours. Up to the time of his attack the senator was in apparently perfect ', health. Governor Bliss says the filling of the vacancy will be left to the legis lature, which convenes in January nr A French lieutenant colonel has been j Dut under arrest and will be court-mar tialed on the charge of insubordination because he refused to aid with his troops the closing of an unauthorized Congregationalist school, alleging that his religious sentiments forbade his co operation in such work.

C, and brought to this city for trial, had an examination at 11 o'clock- yesterday morning before Mayor Jones. After the case had been called Hon- Wm M. Mcllwaine stated to the court that for some years he had been counsel for Mrs. Lambert and that Inasmuch as she was very nervous by reason of this affair he desired to make a statement for her. which was that it was her belief that Phillips, had taken the articles under a misappre hension and not with any criminal In tent. In faet that Phillips was drunk when he took them. After Mr. Mcll waine's statement Mayor Jones swore Mrs. Lambert and asked her if that was her statement and she replied that it was. Mayor Jones then asked Mrs. Lambert in regard to the money with which Phillips was charged with having stolen Her reply was that Phillips had no specified time in which to return the money The Mayor then asked if there was any more witnesses and was in formed that Mrs- Lambert was the only one.

To the Peopl of North Carolina. ' At the annual convention of the North Carolina branch of the Interna tional order of the King's Daughters and Sons held in Raleigh May 13th-i:th it was unanimously resolved by the del egates (all women) that a reformatory for white boys be established r.s the state work of this branch. That the need of such an institution exists needs only the affirmation of one fact namely, that at present in our state penitentiary young offenders are confined with hardened criminals as companions. Several states having such reformatories write that the re sults are entirely satisfactory, and that boys discharged from them make good citizens. So these schools may be regarded as important factors in the education of ! the young which is the great question of the day. The Information is also given that the expense of a boy for 12 j months is 1100 and that a sheriff Is at- lowed that sum for feeding a prisoner. ! A good and faithful servant by Invest. . ing this amount in such an Institution, ' would be commended for his well do ings, as his talents would srve th manifold purpose of training heart, mind and body of all of God's creators. The first duty of all circles is the re lief of suffering nearest them so that local charities consume much of their means. But generous philan thropic citizens of North Carolina fath ers, sons, mothers do not let us be de terred in our undertaking- by wat of money. We need the moral support of men and women throughout our com monwealth in this matter, and pledges of financial aid from all who can make them. After receiving such pledges we will petition the legislature Tor an ap propriation for this much needed insti tution.
