We quote from the pastoral letter of the. bishops of the Episcopal church the following sentences which deserve special attention: However otherwise we may classify Tinman society, that classification is universal which divides it into those who believe in the spirit of caste and those who do not. Journey where you will, the peoples that are in the thickest darkness to day are those in which most abso lutely' the spirit of caste rules. Touching the race problem the let ter after referring to the appointment of a joint commission to investigate the question says: ff'- by giving them (the negroes) freedom we have only given them the power 'to work mischief, and if lynch ing has come to be defended as a nec essary protection to families, then surely we are face to face with a situ ation at. once desperate and dishonor ing. We may not ignore our social situation, and if the church can have nothing to say about it then- she sim ply, disowns her duty and her master. There, you have it, and we defy tlte most censorious critic to show that the good fathers of the church v.'ere laboring under undue excite ment, or indulging in intemperate lan guage. But we must dissent from some of their conclusions our own opinion being that the spirit of caste rules as absolutely among enlightened nations as among the most barbarous, In the United States as much as in the Fiji Islands. The historian, Macau ley, argued very ingeniously to show that at one period, the church did nuich" to destroy the limitations of caste but it can readily be shown that at many periods, the church has been the most efficient promoter of caste. As to the, Afro-American, the good bishops may truthfully say: "We hid as it were our faces from him he was despised and we esteemed him not." The spirit of caste dominates the nastoral letter. Tr|E OLD FLAG STILL WAVES. The Old Flag waves in triumph. The country is safe we are redeem ed. Parker and Anarchy are defeat ed and all classes can breathe free ly "again.

Ended. The most roaring farce, the exuberant display of idiocy, grand-1 est exhibit of ignorance, fraud, impu dence and scullduggery that was ever paraded before the astonished gaze of the world has at last come to an end, and Parker, the man who makes al legations, he cannot prove has been relegated to the rear. He went out shearing and came back shorn. The leaders who engineered the los ing race hatred campaign, will hence forth be infinitesimal elements in American politics, only able like Bunyan's giant, to make grimaces at passers by. The election of Roosevelt, the Christian soldier, statesman and man of the people is the new edict of emancipationhe will deliver the country from the curse of caste. Mobocracy Rotteneggeracy, Ballot box stuffingocracy, Taggert, Davis, Tillman. Vardaman, Bryan, Heflin, Parker, Jeff Davis of Arkansas et al exeunt omnes(The curtain falls). The overwhelming and unprece-' dented plurality of President Roose-1 velt is a pleasing evidence of his popularity as a man and incontro-1 vertible argument that his views of fairness and right are sustained by a large majority of the people of the United States. His election in such a decided manner has filled us with new hope that the deplorable condi tion of the class of citizens which we represent will be greatly improv ed and, that the spirit of justice and i' fairness for all men of which he is the embodiment, will grow broader and stronger among the people, and they will hold up his hands and en-1 courage him and sustain him in his good work. Roosevelt is all right the people have said so in unmistak able terms. The U. S. Supreme Court recently rendered a decision, the immediate effect of which will be to compel the state of North Carolina to pay $27.- 000 of her bonds which she repudi ated during the 70's. It is almost ab solutely certain that the remote ef fects will be of far greater conse quence for millions of such bonds are in existence. Arkansas repudi ated the Holford bonds upon the ground that she never derived any advantage from their sale Missis sippi repudiated bonds due to the Rothchilds, because, so Gov. McNutt said, those parties were holding a mortgage over the Holy Sepulchre, and other states repudiated because that was more convenient than to pay them. have created, were the people fools T^X -~4*-1ISeeretar Republican National Commi ttee.'fA^j^CiMt^^tri HON.

Booker Washington. Jr., the eldest son of Booker T. Washington, has filed an application for appointment as paymaster in the army. The application was filed several days ago. and was dated New Haven. The applicant describes himself as HON. CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS Vice President of United States. T. Washington, and there are* others from prominent residents of New Ha ven.

John R. Lynch, now a captain, is the only Afro-American paymaster in the army at present. He was at one time assistant auditor- for the Navy Department Capt.

The Ma rine Band Orchestra will give to the accompaniment of "Hiawatha" a body and volume that has heretofore been lacking, and the soloists engaged are the best that could be secured. The reservation of seats by the guaran tors has been very liberal and every thing' points to a brilliant, result, The Washington Post in a' recent issue said: "It was learned unofficially. at .the War Department that Private John T.

Illinois^*CQL. xposu Membe RfJPbM senger in the War Department at Washington, D. C, and Miss Dickie Joyce, a teacher in the public schools of Columbus, Ohio, were secretly married this summer at Falls Church, Va., by Rev. G. S. Somerville, rector of the Episcopal church at Falls Church. Miss Joyce visited in Wash ington the past summer for a couple of weeks and met Mr. Fortune for the first time. It was evidently a case of love at first sight, for before she returned home she was married to Fortune. Every precaution was taken to keep the marriage a secret, and not even the nearest friends and as sociates of the bride nor her relatives were aware that they were married. Rev. Somerville, when communicated with about the matter, stated that he had been enjoined by both parties to keep the marriage an absolute secret, and for that reason he had not made it public. "It is against the rule of the Co lumbus board of education to allow a married woman to teach, and the news of this secret marriage will compel the brfde to resign her posi tion as a teacher in the public schools of the dtv. The news of the secret marriage has created quite a sensa tion. Miss Joyce is a member of one of the oldest families in Columbus, and has been a teacher in the public schools for some six or seven years. The groom is unknown here." Prof. William H. H. Hart, the Afro American lawyer arrested some time ago at Elkton, Md., under the Mary land "Jim Crow" law, and whose case is now in the courts of that state, ad^ dressed a large assemblage of Afro American people at Lincoln Temple, Eleventh and streets northwest. He declared that he had found, in the interstate commerce act, the method by which he,would break down the barriers raised against Afro-Americans by state laws providing for separate accommodations on railroad trains for the white and colored races. "There is no sense in depending for redress," said the speaker, "upon the fourteenth amendment to the Con stitution. The Supreme Court of the United States doesn't like it, and the white people, of this country do not. Some day the amendment will come into its heritage and grow, for it is the magna charta of modern times. We must consider the interstate com merce law. Everything goes down before thatreligion, morality, state authority, race, and color. I tell you here, now, that you have found the man who will free you from this con temptible, this so-called 'Jim Crow' law. "The 'Jim Crow' law is but a svm tom of a deeper malady pervading theentire body politic, prejudicing the rights of American citizens. I have seen here at the National Capital a desire to refuse equal rights to Amer ican citizens of colorin the theaters, hotels, places of amusement, and comfort. It has been an easy step to the 'Jim Crow' law. This law has not received the organized resistance which the 90,000 Afro-American peo ple of the District could make against it with organization and competent leadership." Chas. E. Hall.
