SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1902.
Every one who knows, knows that
many an innocent Afro-American has
been lynched in the South. There
has usually been some pretext and
rape, or, alleged rape has been the
most frequent. They seem t& have
concluded that this pretext is not
necessary or something of the sort
and now they have hit upon one that
they can work to a queen's taste.
They just pick out the man they
want and say he is a "bad nigger"
and that's all that is needed to in
sure the lynching. The latest is that
two men Monroe Hallum and Jim
Gaston were lynched at Kosciusko,
Miss. Sunday night by a mob of
several hundred white men. The vic
tims of these cowardly murderers
were alleged to be bad men and it was
discovered that they were at the
head of a secret organization to in
cite the blacks against the whites. A
coroner's jury returned a verdict of
death "through gunshot wounds in
flicted by persons to the jury un
known." What can any honorable,
justice-loving, humane, christianized
man^even it he is a white man
think of such damnable proceedings?

We do like a square deal, but 'tis
not often we get it. Last week the
Pullman company voluntarilymind
youadvanced the wages of its con
ductors $15.00 per month. The ad
vance they gave the conductors is ex
actly the sum they pay their porters
to do the work while the conductors
boss the job and get $90 per for doing
it. This is the white man's idea of a
square deal between porters and con
ductors. Now everybody knows, who
knows anything about it, that the por
ters have greater responsibilities,
perform ALL the labor, put in the
greater number of hours and are un
questionably of more actual value,
both to the company and its patrons
than the conductors, yet just look at

Up From Slavery. By Booker T. Wash
ington. $1.50. New York: Doubleday
Page & Co.
2_"Up- From Slavery'' by Prof. Booker T.
Washington is~a remarkahle volume by a
remarkable man. Autobiographical writing
is a dangerous enterprise at best, and should
never be undertaken except by the great
men of earth. That Prof. Washington be
longs to the class of great men of our time,
requires neither testimony nor proof, for, it
is one of the accepted facts.
In writing, of the place and date of his
birth' he says: "I was born on a planta
tion in Franklin County, Virginia. I am
not quite sure of the'exact date of my
birth, but at any rate I suspect I.must have
been born somewhere and at sometime."
There is conscious humor in this sentence,
a spice of wit, and the delicate sarcasm of
a great man, protesting against the insti
tution of slaverythat Institution which
had made it impossible, either for himself
or Frederick Douglass to know the exact day
of birth.
Later on he says that he does not know
who his father wasbut that he knew that
he was a white man.
"My life had it's beginning in the midst
of the most miserable, desolate, and dis
couraging surroundings" "j
men the world has ever known.
W as'
born in a typical log cabin about fourteen
by sixteen feet square. In this cabin I
lived with my mother and a brother and
sister 'till after the Civil War, when we
were all declared free."
An account of his boyhood daysthe
struggle of- his mother and elder brother
for the common necessities of life is nar
rated in a simple manner which forms the
real charm of Mr. Washington's literary
style. This volume however possesses a
charm higher than that of any style, for
it portrays the kaleidoscopic changes in the
upward toiling career of a youth, who
started at an' early age on a tramp to the
Hampton Industrial Institute, in search
of an education with boundless hope and
almost infinite patience as his only assets.
On this unknown voyage over hill and dale
the youthful enthusiast finally, reached a
city called Richmond, where he arrived
hungry, friendless and penniless./ He says:
"I must, have walked the streets till after
midnight. At last I became so exhausted
that I could walk no longer. I was tired,
I was hungry, was every thing but dfs
courayed. Just about the time that I
reached extreme physical exhaustion, I
came upon a portion of a street where the
board side walk was considerably elevated:
I waited for a few minutes, till I was sure
no passers-by could see me, and then crept
under the sidewalk and lay for the night
u$on the ground." Mr. Washington then, re
lates that the next day he went down to
the river and obtained work from the
captain of a ship, who was unloading a
cargo of pig iron that his work so pleased
the captain that he continued to work for
him a number of days, sleeping under the.
sidewalk every night, economizing in order
to save money to help him reach Hampton.
He says that many years afterwards he
was tendered a public reception by the
citizens of Richmond in a church, not far
from the spot where he had slept upon the
ground. That he has also/at the invitation
of friends been a guest in a Saratoga hotel,
where he was formerly employed as a wait
er.
He writes a very entertaining chapter on
the "Reconstruction Period," and discusses
in a very comprehensive and practical man
ner the race problem at the South. It Is
however, in writing of himself and of his
early struggles that we find Mr. Washing
ton at his best, and note distinctly that
patience under adversity, untiring industry
and optimism of a rarely encountered char
acter, are the qualities which have made
possible the. success which has "attended the
efforts of the man whom Walter Page, edi
tor of the ^World's Work" pronounces, "the
most useful man in the Republic."
Up from Slavery has had a large sale
not only in. this country but all over the
world. TheVwork has been translated into
Spanish, German,. French, Italian, Arabic,
Hindustani :ahd editions are being prepared"
in many otoer languages.

THE NEW-BORN CUBA.
The New-born Cuba. By Franklin
Matthews. v?2.50. New York and Lon
don. Harper Brothers.
"The New-born Cuba" by Franklin
Matthews is one of the very interesting
volumes dealing swith conditions in "The
pearl of the Antilles" since the American
occupation, which has been given to the
public.
So much: has been written about the
peoples, climate: and resources of tUe
island that it ia not within the" range of
expectations to find any new light In
these directions.: It is therefore with ab
sorbing interest that we read the story
of the rehabiUta.tiqn of the island under
American auspices as told by Mr. Mat
thews. He.- says: "Not less important
than cleaning the streets, purifying the
-harbor and^sewers, protecting the water
supply, and putting all public *works in
proper order in Havana, was the task of
cleaning the city from the inside, the
work of purifying the buildings of every
grade in town. Inside thousands of dwell
ings were "blackholes" in a frightful con
dition. The walls of thousands of build
ings were the abiding places of germs of
yellow fever and other infectious dis
eases."
Mr. Matthews then tells of the scientific
manner in which the sanitation of the
city was accomplished under Major Jno.
G. Davis, a Chicago physicia of
largt
practice*-and wide
'reputation,n arid tha 1
not one single house in the city of Havana
escaped the inspection of his corps of
physicians or failed to conform with the
requirements of "Major Davis. "Large
qantities of quicklime, and a solution of
chloride of lime were used. Then came
coats of paint or whitewash."
Then followed a vanishing death rate,
until Havana today is practically free
from its former scourge of yellow fever.
The next work of great importance per
formed by the American authorities was
tie. installation of an honest customs serv
ice in Cuba.and the abolition of bribery
and blackmail.
The work of feeding thousands of starv
ing people by the military authorities is
dwelt upqn by the author, who shows that
this was an* essential part of the work of
reconstruction and that had it not been
done, the sanitation of the large cities
would have been incomplete and ineffec-.
tive.
The (reconstruction of Cuba by the peo
ple of the ij United States is unique and
interesting as an example of the human
ity of our petfple. Cuba has been taught
many lessons of vital importance tc her
welfare and it remains to be seen whethr
er she will profit by them, or sink back
into the dark ways of the old Spanish
regime. If he does, she will not remain
an independent nationality long.
On the 20th of this present month the
ceremony of turning over the Cuban
government to the Cuban people took
place. The stars and stripes came down
and the ensign of the Cuban Republic was

IN THE FOREST
In the Forest. By Maximilian Foster.
$1.50. New York: Doubleday, Page &
Co. "In the Forest" is a contribution to
the literature of our country of positive
value. This volume contains stories of
wood-life, wherein the stately deer, the
cunning coyote, the fierce and rugged
bruin speak from the heart of the wilds,
not in the language of men, but in the
virile and significant speech of nature
"in her natural and primitive conditions."
Mr. Foster has made a distinct depart
ure from the ordinary stories of forest
life, and unlike -Kipling's "Jungle Stor-
ies," has animals simply act in accord
ance with the imperious law. of nature,
and do not talk.
He plays upon, your sympathies by elo
quent powers of description and narra
tion, and in "the story of "Legs," the
coyote transported from his western hab
itat to the east to furnish in the chase
amusement and excitement to men and
dogs, one's sympathy goes out spontane
ously to this poor beast, struggling at
times against hunger and trusting to his
speed and curihirig to save himself from
being tonii to pieces by the murderous
pack of hounds at his heels. Time after
time he eluded his tormentors, but his
inevitable finish had to arrive, and when
It did we find ourselves wishing him bet

Ihis is the title of a book by C. H.
Henderson which, has made its appear
ance this year. The title suggests a
treatise on philosophy, and one does not
turn over many pages in this interesting
volume before discovering original ideas
elaborated in a clear, striking and con
vincing manner.
Education and ethics, theoretical and
hausted by the world's greatest philoso
phers and publicists, and one does not ex
pect to encounter in our time any new
Idea? on such subjects, unless from a
world-famed thinker, in the class wi
Ansioue, jeiato, Thomas Aquinas, Rous
seau, Spencer or Emerson. Mr, Hender
son has, however, stated a proposition
about the significance of language, which
so far as we know is entirely original, and
which in our opinion, lays the foundation
for a, new grammar of great simplicity
an strength. He says: "We may say
that just as human consciousness is the
one experienced reality, so the expression
of this reality is to be found in language.
Logically speaking we have only three
classes of words, nouns, verbs and con
nectives. For conyenience of treatment,
the grammars name eight or nine." The
author then says that the entire phe
nomena of the physical world may be re
solved into three manifestations, "mat
ter, motion and relation," and that since
language is the result of experience with
the material world, "nouns represent
matter, verbsmotion, connectivesrela-
tion."
The author's discussion of cause and ef
fect, youth, the experimental life, the
source of power, and many other subjects
are treated in a clear and earnest man

HAWAIIAN AMERICA.
Hawaiian America. Something of Its
History, Resources and Prospects. By Cas
par Whitney, pp. 355. $2.50. New York
and London Harper Brothers.
Mr. Caspar wwtn ey has written in "Ha-
waiian America" a volume full of instruc
tion and interest. The style employed by
Mr. Whitney is the very essence of high
class literature. His description of Ha
waiian scenery, peoples, social and indus
trial basis and prospects, not only demon
strates his mastery over the accepted liter
ary models, btit undoubtedly disclose the
same keen and penetrating powers of ob
servation, that mat*? his "On Snow Shoes
to the Barren Grounds" so deservedly pop
ular.
In writing of the peculiar charm of the
Hawaiian Islands he says, "that it lies in
their physical characteristicsthe sugges
tion of strength and gentleness given by
their broken peaks and slumbering volca
noes, and the velvety verdure that tempts
ypu to the hills, and begets au Impulse to
