Doran's work at the. beginning of the season was of the ''gilt edge' order, but lately he has been pitching very poor ball, hence his release.

ing. The front room. which during the day is the office of the supreme president and the manager of the Progressive Times,
 with three or four stenographers and type
 writers, is fitted up for lodge purposes and rented nearly every evening for meetings. In the rear is large room in
 which are the desks of the supreme secre-
 tary, supreme treasurer, chief bookkeeper and several clerks. Adjoining is another large room in which is kept, conveniently arranged in patent file cases, each lodge
 being separate, the applications for mem-
 bership, also the records of each of the 800 and more lodges, by consulting which, in half minute, the exact standing of each of the 40, 900 members may be ascertained was much impressed with the system which I obtained throughout the entire business methods and which would do credit to the largest life insurance com pany in the country, as at the shortest mo- tice the exact condition of the order may be learned. Next visited the office of the state treasurer and also learned from him that the Progressive Benefit order was foremost in financial standing and that while other orders which had commenced paying off had been withdrawing their deposits, that of the P. B. o. remained intact. On May 22 they had in his hands securities amount ing to $1S1 1000 and after paying $50, 900 to members during the month, purchased for deposit on the following day an additional $25 ,000. making total of $207, ,0OO in his hands at the present time. This is in ad- dition to like amount held by the su- preme lodge. And is of itself something to be considered by members of the order. I also visited Major Merrill, of insurance, and while on general principles he did not commit him. self in favor of assessment endowment orders, he technically acknowledged that if there was but few orders to do the business success was not impossible, and that the Progressive Benefit stood as good as any, if not little in advance.
 h conclusion, my confidence in the supreme, officers, their business methods, the stability and permanent success of the order is more firmly founded, and believe that it can and will fulfil all it's promises to members to their entire satisfaction.

Col. A. K. MCCLURE ON THE NEGRO
QUEsTIoN.-In his address before the Cice-
roman and Demosthenean Literary Societies
of Roanoke College, Col. A. K. Mcclure,
Editor of the Philadelphia Times, had this
to say touching the negro question -
"Youug men of Virginia, it will be for
you to solve the race problem. We, at the
North, could not solve it il we would, and
would not if we could. The Tina has come
when the North shall not interfere with
the South in its settlement. We shall even
say no interference shall come to you ia
your settlement of it.
The sil7er-haired men on this patfol "a
will not live to see it. It will be for you to
solve it, to solve it in peace and to solve it
in justice.
The generation lived in had slavery for
Its legacy, and this was the only nation in
the world where the slaves were better off
than they are today. If We had TO deal
with it at the North, feel sure that the
black mau would fare much worse than he
would in the South. When Tread in North
err papers accounts of brutal negro muir
ders in the South | remember that in my
native home the first time / ever voted
there, three negro voters were murdered
and not a murderer ever punished.
The prejudice of caste is the same North
as it is South, but the prejudice of race is
tenfold stronger in the North than it ever
has been in the South"
The negroes in Philadelphia, said the
speaker, held the balance of political power
there, and yet they have never vcntured to
be candidate for a respectable office there.
Such thing would beat the party in the
strongest ward IN the city.
