III RRl Is. WRIGHT.
T The death OF Harry Is. Wright OF Weybridge,
'of which briet mention was made last week,
casts n gloom over our entire community. He
was the youngest child and only son of Edwin
5. and Sarah CBrevoort) Wright, who are
among the best known and most respected of
our citizens. He was born Nov. 10, 1864, and
died Dec. Is, lss9, having just passed his 25th
birthday. After attending the Middlebury
graded school for some time he finished his
education at Beeman academy, and Jan. IL,
1888, married Anna w. Sprague, eldest daugh-
ter OF John III. Sprague of Waltham. His sick
ness was of only six days duration, but his
sufferings were all that time constant and in
tense. In them, however, he signifled a will
lingness to submit to the dictates OF an over
ruling Providence. He had just arrived at
the full vigor OF early manhood, and his pa
rents lose in him a devoted son, on whom
they hoped to lean In their declining years;
his sisters a loving brother ana his young
wife a companion whose early and sudden re-
moval is to her n stroke inexpressibly severe.
He was an unusually bright, intelligent and
popular young man, with apparently a bril-
liant future before him, and In his death society
loses an ornament and the community one
who gave promise OF being a leader among
men. Alas! how mysterious are the ways OF

WILL MR.. DOUGLASS
DECLINE?

1t is said that Mr.. Douglass
the uew minister to Hayti, will at
the last moment decline to go to
that country on the ground that
he is too old for the activities of a
position requiring so much labor
and which will be likely to Sc
verely over tax man of his ad-
vanced age. Some objection is
also raised against the climate of
Hayti. The rumor that the Hay
tians desire a white minister is
again revived and, may have a
great deal to do with the reported
intentions of the Sage of Anacosta
to remain in the vicinity of Cedar
Hill for the balance of his natural
life. He will be given a farewell
reception tomorrow at the Metro

BAD GOVERNMENT IN HA.
.WAIL.

We publish on our first page a
very interesting correspondence
concerning the bad government
in Hawaii, written by our friend,
G. @. Moreno, from which it ap-
pears that the Christian Mission8-
ries there worships Mammon 10
preference of Christ.
These Missionaries, men and
women, consider the Hawaiian
islands as their hunting grounds,
just as much as the German land
grabbers do In the Samoan islands
this is wrong, is unchristian and
inhumsn. The Hawaiians are
our brothers by race and color
and we call on the millions OF free
Negroes of America to raise their
voice In defence Of the Hawalians
oppressed by the white Missiona-
ries and their accomplicies. We
should hold meetings, pass resolu-
fions and memorialize the u, S.
Congress on this subject.

KILLING OF TERRY.

That the secular Press should en-.
dorse the shooting of Ex-Judge Ter
ry is both natural and excusable for
if all reports are true he was a dan
gerous man. 1t does not follow,
however, that all dangerous men
should be shot down. There are
circumstances surrounding the
shooting of Terry which give his
slayer peculiar advantages over
any other man, circumstances
which make hero of Nagle becuse
his victim was shot by the author
ity of the Federal Government.
Some may call it a judicial mur-
der. but whatever it may be called
in law it is none the less murder.
We do not endorse it and we do
not condemn it because we are un-
prepared to enter into the question
of justification or to admit that the
provocatiOn was sufficient to war
rant the unceremonious and seem.
ingly brutal taking off of a desper.
ate man.
Had uot the man NagIe felt sure
that the power and influence OF the
Department of Justice was behind
him he doubtless would not have
been SO handy with his pistol. II
is a dangerous thing for the gov
ernment to encourage the shooting
down of men who are believed to
be desperate simply because they
make threats against public men,
There are other remedies some OF
which are applied every day in our
courts to men in the lower walks
of life and they could just as easily
have been applied to Judge Terry.
But, we do not intend to discuss
the case further. What we started
out to say is that we are surprised
and dumbfounded to see our bril-
liant religious contemporary the
"Christian Recorder endorsing e
this murder. We did not know
that it was the business of a relig.
lous journal to give its endorse
ment to the perpetrators of crime
and especially the crime of murder
The Holy Scriptures teaches US
that vengence belongeth to God.
Why should the "Christian Re
corder" rejoice that the insult to
Judge Field was avenged by the
d 'ath of his aggressor? We SUBJ
NIT with great difference this view
of the case to the prayeTful consid-
Grafton Of the editor of the RE
corder" with the recommendation
that he avoid in the future any
similar mistakes likely to shake
the faith and blunt the moral senses
of our young men who may see il
its endorsement justification to dc
like crime.
Religion, mercy, charity, pa
tience, forebearance and humility

The Home for Aged Colored Wo.
men in this city, while affording, no
doubt, certain comforts to its in>

feeding of these old women on fresh

another exhibition of economy that
might justly be called cruelty. In
their old age the feet of these old

that many of us forget that we will

GETTING FRIGHTENED.

Mr.. Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina, who owes his political
fame to the hind leg of a refrac-
tory mule, has been attempting to
solve the race question. Mr..
Hampton vouchsafes the informa-
tion by way of parenthesis that he
has no unkind feelings towards
the colored man, aud then with
the eye of a prophet, he sees in
the dim hazy distance, through
South Carolina spectacles, an over
plus of Negroes in the South whose
presence there will cause untold
chickering's and strife. Mr.. Hamp-
ton does not like the prospect.
The fear of Negro Domination
haunts hourly, momentarily, aud

sacrifice his mother in.law and all

Senator Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina, said that while he wished
the Negroes no harm, he would
gladly vote to appropriate them
fifty million dollars if they would
leave the South and settle else
where. ne wishes us no harm and
yet wants US to 60 away from the
place that we have made rich by
our labor, and which labor, if paid
for at the small rate of fifty cents
per day, would run the figures up
into the billions. We take no stock
in Hampton or his associates, we
have long since satisfied ourselves
that they are no longer our friends.
The change from slavery to freedom
has been too much for these gentle
men, and having failed to check Us
in our onward march, they would
like to get rid of us by sending US
elsewhere, but it won't work. The
Negro is in the South to stay and
if the whites there wish to 60 away
let them, and we will subscribe for
them out of our own pockets, the
sum they propose to take from. the
government. Negroes will be in
prosperous circumstances in the
South when hampton will be cross
ing the Styx.
