SATURDAY, JAN. 27, 1900
The Negroes all over this land
are getting in earnest about tlieii
rights and privileges. —Biloxi (Miss)
Gazette.
We are pleased to learn that Bish
op H. M. Turner, who has been ill
is improving. We trust that the
“Old Roman” will be spared for a
long time.
Brigham H. Roberts lias been ex
cluded from the House of Represen
tatives, because of poligamous living
Fifty members voted to admit him.
We do not suppose that Roberts will
tamely submit to the action taken
against him.
The large force of men, empolyed
to scrape the streets, and the clear
cold weather, which dried the
mud, have very wellj
the present, hut the Btrcct *jJ^^
be thorougly repaircd-
Judging of the
Philippi are led to believd
the conclusion,of Chaplain T. G.
Steward, that they are superior to
the Afro-Americans, educationally
and materially; this is shown by tlnjvr
superb organization and the AfA)
American’s lack of organization.
We have delivered to Bishop
Arnett, the pamphlet which we
published, containing his address
delivered at the Chicago Autumn
Festival, October ]], 1899, in Mu
sic Hall.
The address contains a great deal
of information, and is a valuable
document. Every one should se
cure a copy—it is only ten cents.
Notwithstanding the many diffi
culties, and secret opposition from
the Trades’ Union, Mr. John M.
Russell, the steam pipe litter, of
Springfield, 0., has completely over
hauled and improved the heating
system at \\ ilberforce University.
A thorough test of the work wa fi
made,last week, and the authorities
are perfectly satisfied. They have
promised to* give Mr. Russell a let
ter of 'commendation, which we
will publish.
Judge'. —Roscoe Conklin Bruce, a
colored youth, son of ex-Senate
Blanche K. Bruce, of Mississippi,
won the prize debate for Harvard,
in the contest with princton recent-’
ly. He is regarded as the most
brilliant debater among the 3000
students of the university; and it is
added hat he is one of the most
popular men in Harvard and“warm
lyjweleome in the most exclusive set.
Thus talent triumps over color, and
probably this settles the Negro
problem as far as it ever v/ill be
settled.
A United Brotherhood and Fra
teral Insurance company is organiz

Miles of Xeina, and Maso*vmi ajn

most impossible for a Negro to ob

line companies as far as fraterna
societies are concerned.
RACE. NLWS
A colored woman living near Ft.
Valley, Ga., is 107 years old, ac
cording to reliable authority.
A. L. Manley, editor of the daily
Record, who was exiled from Wil
mington, N. 0., in the fall of 1898,
lias been appointed to a £lOOO po
sition in the Washington City Rost
Office.
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature of Mississippi, giving
t o the families of the victims of
mob violence, £3OO, and depriving
the official, who surrenders a pris.
ioner to a mob, <>l office.
Col. O. F. Bowles, colored, who
died in Natehes, Miss., recently,
left an estate valued at £lOO,OOO.
The Negroes of this • country are
estimated to be worth £000,000,000,
nearly all of which has been made
within the last 35 years under advers e
circumstances.
The Capital Savings Bank, of
Washington, D. C., owned and op
erated by colored men, is one of
the strongest and most reliable fi
nancial institutions in the country.
It has a capital of £50,000. It
went through the panic of 1893
without a tremor. Hon. John R.
, Lynch, is president.
Nicholasville, Ky., Jan. 22•
Alec. Hite, a young Negro, shot
his sweet-heart, Dora Bradley, at
0.30 o’clock this morning, then
placed the pistol against his own
head and killed himself. She had
sworn out a warrant against him
for some misdemeanor, and rather
than be tried lie shot her and then
suicided. He had always borne a
good reputation and ms
“"j tlw T t'*" r *TJnrrn nnr whisky.
The Negroes of Durham, North
Carolina, have a real estate and mer
cantile establishment. It has been
chartered under the laws of that
State with a capital stock of $20,-
000 and the privilege of increasing,
it to $lOO,OOO. Its doors were op
ened for business one month ago.
A general mercantile business, man
ufacturing cigars and cheroots, buy
ing and selling real estete, loans,
and similar transactions, will be con
ducted. In addition a full line of
millinery and dry goods will be car
ried, in which department young
Negro women will be employed.
The leading white citizens of Dur
ham have taken stock. The estab
lishment is controlled entirely by i
N egroes.
That class of Negroes who, by
their own violation, bring disgrace
upon our race, who live not becom
ing good citizenship and commit
crimes most hideous, do not deseive
sympathy, but the severe criticism
of all people who believ in a life of
good morals.
Again, there is a class of white peo
ple who delight to bring these Ne
groes to the eyes of the public to
justify the statement that “All
coons look alike,” thus one black
man is not better than another,
but there is a wide gulf betw T een
tlie model and the depraved Ne
gro. Let our race, first draw the
line. People among us who will
not accept those things which will
give us a good standing but prefer
rowdyism, loafing and the like, let
them be excluded from good society.
We, as a race, have any number
of friends among the white people.
They can be found when it becomes
necessary to assist a worthy enter
prise w hich tends to the elevation
of a dow n-trodden race.—lnformer.
Chaplain T. G. Steward of the
United States Army, writing from
Manila, in an article to to the Chris
tian llecoider, says that he is sur
prised at the cordiality with which
the Filipinos receive “colored peo
ple from the United States.” lie
found the same condition in Hono
lulu. He thinks that the Filipinos
he has seen in Manila are superior
in education and material condition
to the colored people of the United
States, and that the Filipinos, in
stead of being lazy, work all the
tinn
Chaplain Steward thinks that me
will in time make good
Afro™ c * t * zens ’ but ull less they
than the from what
the PhUipi>iK® re ’ a,ld bctter
soldiers now’ in)
ated them, j
there will be plenty of trouble for
the American Government. We shall
insist that the Filipinos have jus
tic and fair play, and as soon as
they get into the American Union
we shall make common cause with
them in lighting American preju
dice, whatever shape the vile thing
may take.
We are getting a large mixed popu
lation into the American Union.
At the proper time the Afro-Amer*
ican citizens will join issues with
all of them in the contention for a
fair and square deal.
The race needs moral heroes; men
who would dare to stand for right
principles amid the evil tendencies
of the times.
This thing of teaching the Negro
his rights is time wasted. He knows
his rights. What he should be taught
is how to maintain them.
Head culture and hand culture
should go together. We have young
men in the present day who have cul
tivated their heads and laid their
hauds away to rest; and the only
way they can support themselves ib
to heal their v. «»y t /oug life, not
striving to earn a i vii to wteal
one, or trick it from i..c nun 4 a oi the
truf sons of toil.
Sir-The public will he interested in
knowing thatt! e appeal for contribi j
tions to procure a home for the Bak
er family of South Carolina has
brought the desired amount, and that
further soliciiation is unnecesary.
Mrs. Baker and her children are
comfortably established, and are
working for their own support. Th?y
desire to express their gratitude to
the public for the kindness shown
them.
