Public Mind.
AX IXAI "Gl RAL PLEDGE.
President Roosevelt's inaugural
pledge to maintain the McKinley
policy and likewise his invitation to
the lnemhers of the McKinley cab
inet to retain their portfolios is but
the repetition of what every other
vice president who has unexpected
ly been called to the presidential
chair on account of the death of the
president has always done. Howev
er, the general public have reasons
to believe that President Roosevelt
will carry out the cardinal principles
of the McKinley administration, and
will, for the most part, work in per
fect harmony with the present mem
bers of his cabinet. Simply because,
to some extent, Mr. Roosevelt was
a part of President McKinley's for
mer administration and vice presi
dent of his late administration and
to some extent in perfect accord
with both of the administrations and
lent his aid in many ways toward the
perfecting of the same.
WHAT OTHERS DID.
Vice President Tyler, who suc
ceeded William Henry Harrison,
eventually found an excuse to
change most of the Harrison cabinet
and likewise to reverse the public
policy, which was instrumental in
electing the Harrison-Tyler ticket
in 1841 to the presidential chair. Tn
1849 Millard Fillmore was called to
succeed President Taylor, and while
he promised not to change the Tay
lor policy, still he did so almost in
stanter. Vice President Andrew-
Johnson, who became president in
]<S(i") after the assination of Lincoln,
most sacredly promised the Ameri
can people to carry out the Lincoln
policy, but this he failed to do in
toto, and the cabinet officers, one
after the other, were removed until
his administration bore no sem
blance to the Lincoln administra
tion. While President Arthur did
not wholly change the policy of his
predecessor, James A. Garfield, who
was killed in 1881, yet he came so
near doing it that one would not
miss it very far to say that he real
ly did so, and as on former occasions
the members of the Garfield cabinet,
one by one were dropped out until
a complete change had bee nrecord
ed. With Mr. Koosevelt the case is
quite different, for, as said above,
he lias been a member of the Mc-
Kinley household for a good many
years, and there is every reason to
believe that the McKinley policy in
every respect will be carried out,
even to the building and maintain
ing the complete supremacy of the
Isthmian canal by this government.
Akmunmlii (JMenu's Jury.
Occasionally one sees in print an
assertion to the effect that all of the
members of the jury who convicted
Charles J. Giteau, the assassin of
President Garfield, of murder in the
first degree, have either died of vio
lent deaths or are insane and con
fined in some asylum. This is not
true, and with but one exception,
only one of the jurymen is confined
in an asylum and only four of them
have since died. When the jury re
turned a verdict of guilty as charg
ed against Gitcau, he rose up in the
court room and cried out to the
twelve men, "My blood is upon the
head of the jury, and don't you for
get it. That is my answer. God
will avenge this outrage." The pop
ular impression that many, if not
all, of the jurymen had been taken
away prompted John P. ITamlin,
who was foreman of the jury, to
make the following statement con
cerning his assistants in that mem
orable trial and conviction:
"Our average ages at the time was
50 years. Eight of us are still liv
ing in this district, dates, I think,
was the youngest, and Ilohhs, who
was the second of our number to
die, was the oldest, if I mistake not.
Mr. Prather died only a few days
ago. Thomas Heinlein and Fred
Brandenberg have passed away. Poor
Sheaham is in the insane asylum.
His misfortune, I am sure, is not
from anything that has to do with
the (iiteau trial and conviction.
Stewart, I believe has retired from
business, (iates is employed at the
navy yard. Brawner is in the dis
trict service. Wonnley is also em
ployed in the district government.
Ijjingley has been employed for a
long time in the treasury depart
ment."
doomed to nirc.
Leon Czolgosz, the wretch who as
sinated President McKinley, was
put on trial last Monday, and though
he plead guilty to the charge of mur
der in the first degree, the court
J would not accept the plea, and had
j one of not guilty recorded against
[him. His trial began Monday as
soon as a jury could be empaneled.
He had no defense to offer and the
jury returned a verdict of guilty as
charged Tuesday. Much precaution
has been used by the authorities to
keep the man from being lynched
by the enraged citizens, and thanks
to the better judgment of the Amer
ican people he has been given a
fair and impartial trial, and has
been found guilty by a jury of his
peers, and will pay the penalty of
liis awful crime, if such a thing can
be done, in the electric chair. Death
for such a vrretch cannot be claimed
a just retribution for his crime, but
ii is the very best that the living
can give him, and there is no doubt
but that he will get the full extent
of it.
A IIKi FOOL EDITOR.
While a greal many nonsensical
statements have been made by fool
ish persons concerning the assassin
ation of President McKinley of a
sarcastic nature by persons who dif
fered from the president and his
policy, and to some extent by real
anarchists, yet no American news
paper man seems to have been fool
ish enough to speak disparagingly
of the martyred president or to com
mend the action of his assassin ex
cept Clarence Jones, proprietor of
the Press-Post, of Columbus, Ohio.
That paper, both editorially and in
its news columns, -poke very offen
sively of the president and the peo
ple of that section took serious ex
ceptions to its utterances, as well as
its editor, and it required the assist
ance of the entire police force as
well as a company of militia to pre
vent the outraged citizens from not
only lynching the editor, hui to like
wise demolish the plant and build
ing in which the paper is published.
It is needless to add that Editor
Jones is a Democrat in politics and
runs a paper of that same faith and
belief, but it is rather remarkable
that he should so far forget his
American principles on such an oc
casion as this an to denounce a man
for whom the entire world was
wreathed in mouriag. Even had
there been any truth in his mad
ness there certainly was no common
sense in it, and if for no other rea
son, his own financial interests
should have prompted him to not
have spoken as he did of tin 1 martyr
ed president. Granted, for the sake
of argument, that what Editor June
said was true, it was said at the
wrong time as well as in the wrong
spirit and could not have done oth
erwise than have brought haired
and malice down upon his head from
the readers of his paper regardless
of their politics. Some one lias woil
written, "When in Rome do as the
Romans do," and Editor Jones
might have applied this to himself,
and in this the nation's bereavement
mourned along with the other
mourners, and if his feeling- were
such that he found it impossible to
mourn, then it would have been
wise for him to have kept si ill. TTis
frankness came very near costing
him his life," and unless he i- very
careful it will certainly cost him his
fortune.
ADVERTISIXC. ASTROLOJiISM.
The astrologistE ore haying a
great time over the assassination of
President MeKinley. The}- are now
claiming that a great many of them
predicted at the time of President
McKinley's second inauguration
that his administration would be a
stormy one and would end in a fa
tality. They further claim that
their prophesies were more than ver
ified at the Pan-American demon
stration in honor of the president,
when Vice President Roosevelt's pic
ture was sent up bearing the inscrip
tion. "Our Vice President." when
the '"our" almost instantly burned
out and this was immediately follow
ed by "vice" which left '"President"
standing, and this remained some
seconds before it burned out. The
astrologists claim that the instance
was so very striking that a great
many persons at the time were im
pressed with the strangeness of it.
A few hours later, comparatively
speaking, President McKinley was
assassinated, and still but a few days
later Mr. Roosevelt was declared
president of the United States. That
all of this was a strange 1 coincidence
no one will deny, but that the astrol
ogists were able to predict them is
absolute rot, and no one but the su
perstitious and ignorant will consid
er their prattle along this line for a
.-ingle moment. There is no medi
um of communication between this
world and the Great Beyond, and
any person or persons who declare
that they can commune with the
other world and impart their infor
mation to the beings of this world,
is not only a hypocrite but is an im
poster of the most dangerous type.
The intentions of God Almighty are
not imparted to anyone in this world

nii\i:si: jewish col.©my.
Minister W'u Ting Pang, the Chi
nese minister to the United States,
in an address recently delivered be
j fore the Jewish Chautauqua, claims
1,700 years ago there was a
Jewish colony of *>,<>oo persons es
tahlislied in China, and that the Chi
nese and Jew- lived peaceably to
gether. The Jews built a syna
gogue in an ancient Chinese city
known as Kung Chan, which they
called I'inlan. This colony has re
mained in China since that time,
hut unfortunately it has recently
grown fewer in number until at the
present time it does not number over
200. Strange to say that the Jews
were not persecuted in any respect
by the Chinese, though they differed
in every respect in their religious
views and differed even more radi
cally than do the Chinese and Prot
estants, if such a thing could be,
which prompted Minister Wu to ask
she question why all of this trouble
between the missionaries now in
China and the Chinese. The Jews
were not only the exact opposite to
the Chinese in religion, but were
the same shrewd traders and dealer?
as they are now, and settled in that
country for the purpose of dealing
with the Chinese, which they did.
and yet they lived peaceably togeth-
Itnd did not raise riots, as did the
testants, which prompted the re
t Boxer uprisings.

FOItAKKR IS FRIENDLY.
This paper learns with much sat
faction from the Washington Bee,
j that Senator J. B. Foraker, of Ohio
is classed as one of the staunchest
and truest friends of the* Negro of
this country in the United States
senate. Mr. Foraker never loses an
opportunity to champion and defend
the rights of the Negro when such
rights are placed in questionable
lights by unscrupulous persons
prompted by race prejudice for their
stand rather than from the real
facts. This calls to mind the gu
bernatorial campaign of 1880, when
J. B. Foraker was first nominated
by the Republicans for governor of
the state, but was defeated by Judge
Hoadly, the Democratic nominee.
The cause of Judge Foraker's defeat
lav in the fact that every colored vot
er, or practically every one, in the
state voted againest him, they hav
ing misconstrued some decision that
he had handed down while presiding
judge in a civil rights case, as mean
ing a personal stab at the progress of
the colored people of this country.
The matter was talked over by
Judge Foraker and the leading col
ored men of Ohio, and as a result
|he was renominated for governor
and defeated Governor Hoadly by
an overwhelming majority at a sub
sequent election, as every colored
man in the state voted for him.
II defeated Governor Iloadly by
overwhelming majority at a sub
uent election, as every colored
n in the slate voted for him.
ice that time Governor Foraker's
political star has been in the ascen
dancy and on all occasions he has
proven himself to- be a true and
trusted friends of the Negro race,
hence this compliment paid him
i from the leading Negro journalist in
Washington city.

OREGON'S COLORED POPULATION.
From a recent census bulletin it
is learned that the colored popula
tion of the state of Oregon is 18,
--945, of which 15,502 are males and
3,452 females. Of this number 10,
--397 are Chinese, 4,951 are Indians,
2,501 Japanese, 1,105 Negroes.
There are 2,563 females and 2,388
males among the Indians. There
are 2,501 males and 96 females
among the Japanese. There are 10,
--397 males and 265 females among
the Chinese. There are 677 males
and 428 females among the persons
of Negro descent. These figures
concerning the colored population of
Oregon are to be compared with
232,985 males and 180,000 females
among the whites of that state.
THE NEGRO INCREASING.
It is claimed by a leading paper
of the East that when the present
census is completed! it will show 12,
--000,000 colored Americans, out of a
total population of 75,000,000 in
this country, which does not include
Indians, Chinese and Japanese, but
persons of African descent. If these
figures prove correct it will show
that one-fifth of the population of
this country are descendants of the
twenty African slaves brought hith
er in 1(120 by a Dutch trading vessel.
It will further show that these peo
ple have proven to he the most pro
lific in the way of natural increase
of any distinct class of citizens in
the United States, and if they main
tain the same ratio of increase for
the next century they will outnum
ber by a heavy per cent, the white
population of the United States, un
less some war of extermination
breaks out and the blacks be slaugh
tered at an alarming extent and thus
decrease their increasing numbers.
The colored population of this coun
try ha.- increased at a more rapid rate
than the white population, despite
the fact that there are on an aver
age of 18,571 white foreigners com
ing into this country every month of
the year and practically no Negroes,
which number every month has av
eraged for the past eighty years. By
multiplying this monthly number of
immigrants by twelve and then by
eighty, it will be seen that during
that time something over 20,000,000
of foreigners have come to Ameri
ca to swell the increase of white pop
ulation. Stop the foreign immigra
tion, as is now contemplated by the
leading men of this nation, for half
a century or omre and there is no
doubt byt that the colored popula
tion would show an increase of some
25 per cent, more than the whites.
BLACK HOYS THERE.
A writer in the Atlanta Constitu
tion is responsible for the assertion
that no great historical event has
transpired in the United States "but
that a colored man played a conspic
uous part therein. Owing to the
fact that he was among the first set
tlers in the country and brought
here for the express purpose of man
ual labor, it can be truthfully said
that the Xegro felled the forests,
cleared and tilled the fields, tunnel
ed the mountains, leveled the hills,
bridged the rivers, and was first and
foremost in preparing this country
for agricultural purposes. The
first blood spilled for American in
dependence was that of a colored
man, Crispus Attacks, who was shot
down by the British soldiers on
State street in Boston at the begin
ning of the Revolutionary war.
Many men with black faces and of
African descent took active parts in
the American revolution, and receiv
ed the highest praise from General
Washington. The war in 1812 was
started by the British armies taking
one colored and two white sailors
from an American man of war. War
was at once declared and according
to the best historical accounts 400
colored men were with General
Jackson in the battle of New Or
leans, where the Americans gained
a most decided victory over the Brit
ish and thereby ended the war. Gen
eral Jackson, after the battle, issued
the following address to the colored
soldiers: "To the Men of Color,
Soldiers: From the shores of Mo
bile I collected you to arms, I in
vited you to share in the perils and
to divide the glory with your white
countrymen. . . . But you have
surpassed all of my hopes. I have
found in you, united to these qual
ities .that noble enthusiasm which
impels to great deeds. The presi
dent of the United States shall be
informed of your conduct on the
: present occasion and the voice of the
representatives of the American na
tion shall applaud your valor as your
general now praises your ardor."
FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM.
The colored soldier played no less
conspicuous part in the great Civil
war, when his freedom was being
battled for by the Northern blue
coats. When he was permitted to
enlist in the army the cry of "We
are coming, father Abraham, two
hundred thousand strong" came
from every hill top in the South, as
his shiny face showed up for fight
to preserve the Union, and their
deeds of valor and bravery during
that terrible war are still being told
by the survivors of Port Hudson,
Milliken's Bend, Fort Wagner, Fort
Pillow and a hundred other battle
fields wher black men fought like
demons for their freedom. Colonel
Roosevelt never seems to tire in
sounding the praises of the brave
black boys who followed him up San
Juan hill. The leading military au
thorities of the world have proclaim
ed the bravery of the Ninth and
Tenth cavalry, colored, equal to that
displayed by any company of sol
dires that ever fought on a battle
field. Though they were warned by
the English spectators that no man
could climb San Juan hill and live,
they, fearless of their danger, press
ed on from point to point until they
had scaled the heights and driven
the Spaniards from every strong
hold. They lost more than two
thirds of their number in that awful
charge, but they proved to the world
that bravery knew no bounds with
in a black bosom.
RDICATED XEGRO WATCHED.
An exchange says, "The world has
its eye upon the educated Negro,
and when he acts without common
sense he is classed as ignorant and
in competent.'' This is well said
and the point equally well taken.
The world always has its eye upon
the man whom it has reason to be
lieve knows better than to commit
overt acts and do things that only
ignorant and superstitious persons
would do. When a person claims to
be educated he naturally attracts
the eyes of the educated as well as
the Uneducated upon him and more
is naturally expected of him than of
the ordinary uneducated, and for
this reason the educated should be
very careful what he or she does.
HAVE XO A\ARCHISTS.
It is quite commendable on the
part of the Negro population of this
country that out of the 12,000,000
there is not found a single one that
tolerates anarchy in any shape, form
or manner. Yea, it can be truthful
ly said that at no time and at no
place has the colored man ever been
either charged or proven guilty of
being a traitor to his country's flag,
all of which is most remarkable for
the simple reason that no race of
people in the United States have
been oppressed and mistreated as has
the black race, and despite all this
he is as loyal and patriotic as any of
the sons of the revolutionary war
whose ancestry sprang from George
Washington's blood.
COLORED CO-OP. COLONIES.
The colored citizens of the city of
Omaha are struggling to put in op
eration a first-class, up-to-date co-op
erative gracery store. Such mercan
tile institutions are becoming quite
common in many of the Eastern
states and it is more than likely that
this effort on the part of the Omaha
citizens will prove equally success
ful as many others have done. It
will be remembered that the city of
Chicago already has a co-operative
grocery store among the colored cit
izens, which has recently added a
dry goods department, increased in
size, dimensions and capital, so as to
make it a pretty fair imitation of
the great department stores that are
so common to Chicago. The effort
in Chicago has proven entirely satis
factory and the colored co-operative
store is now classed by the commer
cial concerns of the country as on a
splendid financial basis and doing a
most excellent business. There is
no reason why colored men cannot
unite their small capital in such in
dustries with perfect success as well
as satisfaction to all concerned, and
it is here predicted that this will be
done in most of the towns and com
munities where any number of color
ed persons are to be found, which is
quite right and proper.
OLDEST COLORED MASOX.
From the Washington Leader ,a
paper pnbiished in the interest of
the Colored Free Msnsons of the
United States, it is learned that the
oldest living colored Free Mason in
the United States is Illustrious Hen
ry 11. Gilbert, a thirty-third degree
Mason, of Philadelphia. Pa. At his
last hirthday in February, he was 81
years of age, and he is still in excel
lent health and in splendid physical
condition.

COLLECTING MILLIONS.
The Methodist million guinea
fund, as it is sometimes called, now
nearing completion, has reached its
present position by imitating the
democratic financial basis which the
founder of Methodism adopted in
his early Methodist societies. There
were three important features—two
of them novel ones—in connection
with the fund. First, there was the
fundamental principle that from ev
ery Wesleyan Methodist member of
society, worshiper or adherent —of
whom there are probably from 2,
--500,000 to 3,000,000 in England,
Scotland and Wales—we asked one
guinea. Up to the present moment
we have promises amounting to
more than £930,000, and we have
about £660,000 paid. It is a very
noteworthy fact that out of the large
sum thus promised, as nearly as we
can estamite, about £600,000 is giv
en in guineas by individual donors
of that amount.
The second novel feature of our
fund is the signing by every donor
of one guinea of a church roll, which
we call the historic roll. This roll
contains nothing but the name and
address of the donor. No reference
is made in this, or, indeed, in any
other public list, to the sum given
to the fund. Some generous people
have given many thousands to the
fund, but their names stand side by
side with those who have given only
one guinea. To every subscriber to
the fund we present a certificate, il
lustrated with scenes from Metho
dist history and early leaders of
Methodism. Of these, more than
500,000 have been issued. We have
also had a commemmorative medal
struck, of which more than 60,000
have been sold.
The third feature of the fund we
were compelled to modify. It was
our original intention to close the
fund on December 31, 1901, being
the last day of the nineteenth cen
tury, and to hold throughout the
United Kingdom on the following
day thanksgiving services in every
one of the 10,000 chapels. The In
dian famine, the war ,and other cir
cumstances interfered with the com
pletion of the fund. We were com
pelled to give another year to the
enterprise, and we have now decided
to close the fund December 31 of
this year, when we fully expect to
report that the whole of the million
has been raised.
The result attained so far is due
to the magnificent organization of
Methodism—an organization poli
ticians may well envy. At the head
of the Methodist organization stands
the Wesleyan conference, an assem
bly consisting equally of ministers
and laymen. Below "the conference
rank thirty-four districts, into which
England, Scotland and Wales are
parceled out, each with its chairman
and its secretary. It should be re
membered that the Wesleyan fund
does not cover the whole of British
Methodism, nor Ireland. The Irish
Methodists have already completed
their fund, amounting to more than
£50,000.
We decided, before we asked for
any subscriptions, to what the fund
would be devoted. Everybody knew,
therefore, from the beginning how
his money would be spent. Nothing
was left in this respect to the com
mittee. Distinguished people would
probably succeed far better with
their public appeals if they could be
persuaded at the outset" to state
clearly how they intended to expend
the money entrusted to their care.
Our fund is to be spent thus:
£300,000 in grants for new
churches, mission halls, manses, sol
diers and sailors' homes, and for the
enlargement or rebuilding of old
places of worship; £100,000 for for
eign missions; £100,000 for home
missions, including the work of dea
conesses, and temperance work;
£50,000 towards the enlargement of
our children's homes at Bamer road,
at Edgevvorth and elsewhere, so as
to secure that no Methodist children
shall ever have to go to the work
house; £200,000 for educational
work—namely, a new training col
lege, elementary day schools and
middle-class schools; £250,000 for
the erection of a central Methodist
hall, or church house, in the west
end of London, as the denomina
tional headquarters of Wesleyan
Methodism. R. W. PARKS.
