A R STORY.
Two Deaf Mute Idiots Eat an Infant
Alive.

OTTAWA, Ont, August PA horrible
story comes from a small settlement on
the Du Lievre river. Yesterday Mrs.
Cote went berry pickiog, leaving her one
year old male baby in charge of two deaf
Sons Of Ellis A.. Newton, a neighbor. The.
boys are half witted but were regarded
as harmless. On returning last evening
Mrs. Cote found the baby dead and the
flesh eaten to the bone from its cheeks
and one side Of its neck. The CORY faces
of the idiots who were still gloating e
their prey showed all too plainly that
they had literally eaten the child alive.

SHALL TIE NEGRO DIVIDE?

We are informed that it would
be uuwise for thesmany conven-
tons that have been formed, for
Us to discuss politics. 1t strikes
as very forcibly that one of the
most important questions to be
discussed should be, whether 1t
would be wise for the negroes 10
divide in politics, since they will
remain in politics and demand
that their votes shall be counted,
or whether they ought to with
draw from politics and confne
themselves to business. Let our
representative men in these con-
ventione, since they intend to meet,
take hold of the Negroes condition
in this country and discuss it,
boldly, fearlessly and honestly.
We get more credit for being hon
est than We do by playing the
knave and toady.

NEGRO ARISTOCRACY.

Among MANY other things said
bv DIR. J. M. Townsend in u aspeech
on last Sabbath afternoon, before
the opening of the Sunday after
noon lyceum of the 18th Street
Baptist Church, was the criticism
against Negro Aris'ocracy.
We fully agree with DIR. Town
send, and we know the more SEN
sible portion of our colored citi-
zens do also, that negro aristocra-
cy in this country and especially
in this city ls a farce and a dis
grace. Who ever heard Of aristoc-
racy among negroes? In the first
place The colored people are not
In u position 10 establish a negro
aristocrscy. Il is true that We
have a few negro department
clerks, messengers, labOrers and
watchmen, who have an idea that
they are better than the common
lab ,rer who works on the street
or the washer women who labor In
the wash tub from Monday morn
ing till Saturday night. There Is
40 much arislocracy in the kitchen
as there is in the psrlor, So tar as
the cOlored people are concerned.

COOPERATION.

What is greatly needed among
the colored people in this country
is CO operation in all branches of
business. There is nothing 10 be
made out of politics, but broken
bones aud empty pockets. We
have often complained that the
white merchants In the city refuse
to employ coIored salesmen and
women. Now if we were 10 es-
tablish business places of our own
we would have no cause to COM
plain against the more fortunate
of our fellow-citizens What we
must do is to establish stores of
our own aud hire our own boys
aud girls, men and women. We
must learn TO help ourselves, and
when that is zone this prejudice
against tie race will be a thing Of
the past.
There is ss much color prejudice
among our people ss there is
among q cerrsin class of white
people. Some of Us have attempt
ed and even now attempt to draw
the color line. We have men aud
women in this community to-day
who are endeavoriDg to pass for
white; we have men and women
who are trying very hard to get
sway from their own race, and
still we ask the question, why IS
it that the white people in busl-
ness will not employ some of our
The Washington bee., 1890-01-18

meR and women of color. We
have no complaint to make against
the white people, the fault is with
us, the prejudice is within our
own race; the lack Of race unity
and race pride are wanting among
our people, and until we Learn
DOW to appreciate our own efforts
we cannot hope for any aid from
those of whom we complain.

THE NEGROES FUTURE.
MEETING OF AFRo-AMERICAN
LEAGUES.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-The Natlon-
al Convention OF Afro-American
Leagues was called to order this
morning by T. Thomas Fortune.
editor of the Age, of New York.
Delegates were present from twen-
ty-one States and the District of
Columbia, but The delegates from
the State OF Illinois more than out
numbered all the rest. Alt"geth-
er, there were 200 colored persons
in the theater when the proceed
ings began. T. T. Fortune was
chosen temporary chairman, and
L. Z. Barnet, editor of the Con-
sereator, of Chicago. and Harry 9.
Smith, of the Gazette, of CIeve-
laud, were made secretaries. The
remainder of the session was given
to the appointment of standing
committees.
In the afternoon Mr.. Fortune
was called upon to address the
meeting. He began by saying;
"We are met here to-day, the
representatives of eight million
freemen, who know our rights
AID have the courage TO def nd
them. We are here to emphasize
the fact that The past condition of
dependence and helpIessness upo"
men who have used us for selhsh
and unholy purposes, who hsve
murdered, and robbed, and out
rpged Us. must be reversed.
9" We have been ribbed of he
honest wages of OuI toll ; we have
been robbed of the substance OF
our citizenship by mu der aud in
timldation; weshave been out
ragged by our enemies aud desert
eq bv our friends. 1t is time to
C II halt. It is time to begin 20
fight fire with fire, | speak as al
Atro-American, first, last, and ali
he time, really to stab to death
any political party which robs me
OF my confidence and my vote ond
siraightway asks me what l am
going to do about it,"
In conclusion he urged the con-
vention to leave local league free
to pursue such political course in
its immediate community as the
brsr Interests of the race seem IT,
dictate, La national affairs the
league should not commit itself
officially to any party. " We. pro.
pose," he declared, "to accomplish
our purposes by the peaceful
me; bods of agitation, through the
ballot and the courts, but it Others
use the weapons of violence TO
combat our peaceful arguments it
is not for US to run away. What
is worth having is worth fighting
for"
Fortune was frequently inter-
rupthd by loud and long contin-
ued applause, and at its close he
received the congratulations of all
the people present. A committee
on permanent officers was ap-
pointed, and an adjournment until
tomorrow was taken. This even
ing the delegates were given a
banquet in the First Regiment

OUR POPULATION.
Superintendent Porter Makes an Estimate
of Our Population in 1900,

WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-Supcrintenden
Porter hazards prediction as to the pop
ulaton of the country in the year 1900.
The census as finally announced including
Indians, Alaska, and in word, the entire
country, 63,000,000. In 1900, Mr.. Porter
thinks, the population will be about
7S,000,0 900, ali increase of $4,000 for the
decade General Walker, the supcrnten-
dent of the census of 1850, in an article
published in 1873, predicted that the pop
uation of the country in 1900 would be
about 75,000,000 under the most favorable
circumstances.
Gas matter of fact" said Mr. Porter,
'thc results of the eleventh census show
Il right to expect population in 1900 of
sevcnty-scven, possibly seventy-ninc mill
ions, instead of seyenty-fve millions, as
estimated by General Walker. Should
the population during the next ten years
increase in the same percentage as it has
in the decade ending June /, 1890, it will
reach about seventy-eight millions. If
the population during the next decade
will not only he less, but the numerical
increase will be less.
The population of the country is Just
midway between the limits set by the
late Sunset Cox, who, in his speech on
the Census bill of 1880 said the popula-
ton might be as little as sixty-millions
or as much as sixty-four millions. Gen
eral Walker never expected that the pOpu-
lation in 1890 would exceed, even if il
reached, sixty-four millions.

FAILURE IN PHILADELPHIA.
Maris g. Smith Bankers and Brokers, Go
by the Board.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December l7.-Mar-
is e. Smith, bankers and brokers at No.
20 South Third street, this city, made an
assignment this afternoon to Samuel b.
Huey. The assignment followed the ell
terng of a Judgment against the firm on
a note for $4,000 in favor of John NJ.
Maris, father of William Maris. the senior
member of the firm. Assignee Huey said
tonight that the liabilities will probably
exceed 100000, distributed among a
number of creditors. There are several
debts ranging from $4,000 to $3l 900.
Nothing can be learned as to the as
sets of the firm. They managed to meet
all of their engagements at the stock
exchange up to the closing hour, and the
assignment was not announced until after
the closing hour. The firm has been
gradually reducing its deals at the ex-
change for some time past, and its liabil-
tiles there are small.

IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.
A Large But Unimportant Body.-A Ban
quet, u Speech from Gov. Fowie,
but Nothing Special Done.
DETAILS OF THE CONVENTION.
lSpecinl TO the POsT.l

AsHEvILLE, y. c., Dec. 1S.-The South
crn immigration Convention assembled
here to day with a large attendance. The
delegates from Big Stone Gap were
Mcssrs Mills, Barbour. Palmer and Sears.
The convention though containing several
hundred delegates, seemed TO be composed
chiefly of land agents, bankrupt farmers
who wished to sell their farms, and broken
down politicians in the last stages of po
litical decay, and is no such representa-
tive body as was its predecessor at Hot
Springs, n. c., near here, one year ago.
where there were present Cardinal Glib
bons, Col. J. Stoddard Johnston. John r.
Proctor, Gov. Gordon, of Georgia, Gov.
Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, men of force
from all the Southern states east of the
Mississippi river, louisiana, Arkansas,
Missouri and Texas, and representatives
from the Louisville e. Nashville, Richmond
g. Danville, East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgia and other railroads.
To illustrate the pcttncss of some Of
Vproccedings-a resolution was intro
duced today to change the name Of the
convention to the Nation Industrial Con-
vcntion, Oh the ground that the present
name is sectional, and suggests the least
important matter to be considered by the
asscmblage, the convention would not con-
slider the resolution but hooted it down.
One old haysecd exclaimed, "Who is it
that is 50 national? Some Id Yankee
who has come down here!"
While there is no doubt the convention
is intended primarily to benefit the South,
and immigration is the keynote of the
campaign, it is evident that no good will
be accomplished by such a body rs we
have here today.
The Big Stone Gap delegation feels it is
on higher plane, and will welcome the
Yankee, the Englshman, the Scotchman,
the Frenchman, the man with brain, pluck,
ideas, energy, money and whatever will
build US up.
Governor Fowle, of North Carolina,
made an effective speech and put some
life into the proceedings.
a banquet will be given the delegates
tonight, when it is hoped we will have
more snap in social way than We have
had in our business proceedings.
A severe snow and wind storm has been
raging for twenty-four hours, trains are
much behind time while mail and tcle-
9raph service are much impaired

Increased Value of Farm Products.

WAsniyGrox, Dec. lS.-The statistical
returns CT The department Of agriculture,
for December give the average farm prices
of agricultural products. The average
price for corn by present returns ID SOL
cents per hushel, against 2S.3 cents for
the crop of 1889, an increase of II per
cent. 1t is the highest December price Of
the dec ldc except that of 1889, when the
average price rose to 6S6 cents. The
prices in the seven corn surplus States
are: Ohio ii cents; Indiana, ~; Illinois,
l3; Iowa. AZ Missouri, a.; Kansas, 81:
Nebraska, Is.
The average farm value of the wheat
crop, as estimated, is 81 cents per bushcl,
against Cos for 1889, and increase OF ~
per cent. on the price of last year.
The average price Of oats is 42.2 cents
against % cents last year. 1t is the
highest reported. since 1881. Rye, like
oats, is higher than since 1851, and the
same is true Of barley at 64s. Buck
wheat ut 81 marks an advance over last
wear, but is lower than 1893.
The deficiency in the potato crop
has caused an advance in values in
all parts of the country. The average is
III cents an increase of more than 90
per cent over the prices of the past two
years. The returns show slightly higher
prices for tobacco than have prevailed
since 1881 The average is reported at
IL cents per pound. Hay alone of oil
farm products records decline from last
year. The present price is S1.74 per ton,
and the slight falling off is due to the
increased product

A NASHVILLE MANS BAD BREAK.
Arrested on the Charge of Obtaining
Money on False Pretenses.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. l5.-Detectivc
r. NJ. Porter today received telegram
from Inspector Byrncs, of New York,
stating that he had William Cullen under
arrest. Mr.. Porter left tonight to bring
him to Nashville. Cullen is charged with
obtaining $4,000 on false prctenses. He
was the agent for the Mexican Lottery and
at each drawing received by telegraph a
cipher message giving the numbers said
to have drawn prizes. This he would
translate and then have the list printed
About the LIST of November he, having two
tickets on hand, is alledged to have fixed
the list to show that his tickets had drawn
$4,000 each. He gave Il friend 81 900 to
present them at the bank, stating that it
would look like there was an arrange
ment between him and the company if he
drew the money. This friend received
81 900 in cash and $4,000 in checks, Cullen
afterwards collecting $1,000. The bank
had taken the precauiion of tclegraphing
to Mexico, however, and the $1,000 check
was never cashcd.
Cullen left here about ten days ago, Just
before the above matter became public.
