WORLDS FAIR APPEAL

The colored people of this coun'

he appeal that Is made to them
for the publication of a pamphlet,
for the purpose, 1t Is stated, TO set
the colored people right in this
country before the Columbian TX.
position. There are hundreds OF
books written by negroes In this
country that give the true status OF
the negroes and if Hon. Fred
Douglass, Miss Wells and Mr.. 4 j.
Loudin, want to benefit the race
let them recommend to the colOred
people TO purchase a life OF Mr.
Douglass, the history of the negro
race 10 America by Hon. Geo. w.
Williams, Men of Mark 10y Prof
w. j. Simmons and others.
How in the name of common
sense will these appealers for aid to
publish a pamphlet set the Eegroes
right in this country!
First let the negroes get right and
then they can set the white people
right or those who are opposed TO
their progress.
The enemies of the negroes are
wrong, and the negroes are wrong
because they are jealous OF each
other.
What the race want is money,
real-estate, education and good
manners.
The negro is more in need of the
above than he is of pamphlets to
be printed in English, French,
German, aud Spanish.
Iu the first place what benefit
wi | that be to the negro?
These natlonalltles have read
enough of The negro already.
All you need ln those countries
is money and education and how
to speak the Languages.
LII Miss Wells, Messrs. Douglass
and Loudin want something To do
the BEE would suggest the pro
priety of teaching tie poor and ig-
norant people how to earn and
save money.

To Build Great Tannerfes.

Huge tanneries with capacity equal
to tanning all the raw hides produced in
their great packing establishments is the
scheme credited to Armour, Swift
Morris, of Chicago. The trio turn out
100000 raw hides annually, which is
nearly 80 per cent. of the total product
of the country, so that if they choose
they could practically monOpoIize the
business. The combination owns 4,OOO
acres of land at Tclleston, Ind, where
the immense plant would be located.
Adjacent to the tanneries the plan is tC
have leather and harness makers, boei
and shoe manufactures, etc. One packei
is ready to put up $500, 900, and the 9TH
ers probably as much more. In further
ance of their plan, it is said that repre-
sentatives of the packers have been buy

SOUTH CARULINA'S LIQUOR LAW.
State Officials Getting Ready for the Liq-
uor Business,

uor Business.
Governor B. r. Tillman and State
Commissioner 81. Troxler, of South Caro-
lima, arrived at Pittsburg, Pa, on Mon
day, of this week, and on subsequent
days visited the glass factories there to
place large orders for liquor bottles and
glasses.
Governor Tillman said to a reporter:
"The new dispensary law goes into effect
July 1. After that date there will not be
licensed saloon in the whole State Of
South Carolina. The wines, whiskies +,
beer, and in fact all beverages contain
ing alcohol, will be sold only at State dis
pensaries by salaried and bonded officials.
Every ounce of alcoholic liquors sold
within the State will be purchased by the
State Commissioner, and no liquors of
any kind can be shipped in the State by
any common carrier except the pa kages
with certificate signed by the State
Commissioner. These packages will be
distributed to local dispensaries, one or
more of which may be located in any
town where petition for its establish
ment is signed by a majority of the free
hold voters. Drugstores are prohibited
from selling any spirits except alcohol,
which must be purchased from the State.
The new law will make a wonderful
change in the State, and / think it will
be universally adopted as solution of
the liquor problem. For forty years il
has been in successful operation in Nor
way. There are six prohibition counties
in South Carolina, where there will be
no dispensaries.

German Arms in Africa.

Henry NJ. Stanley has written to the
Peace Association letter in which he
attributes the increase of trade in 1892 at
African ports under German administra-
ton to the growing practice among Ger
man merchants of importing into Africa
small arms and ammunition. These
materials of war, he says, are sold to the
slave traders and do inestimable damage.
Mr.. Stanley inculpates also the Portu-
guese in his charges. He appeals to the
European nations to suppress the traffic
in arms carried on by the Germans and
Portuguese. Unless this stepis taken,
he adds, all efforts to stop the slave trade
will be useless.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Judge Speer, of Georgia, Favors Rail-
road Engineers.
. Judge Speer, of Georgia, has rendered
an important decision on the petition of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers. to require the receiver of the Gem
tral Railroad of Georgia to enter into
contract with that organization for the
service of its members on that road.
The decision is regarded by the Brother
hood as signal victory. The receiver
was instructed by the Judge to enter
into the contract, which is similar to an
old contract made by the railroad. The
Judge holds that hs has the right to so
order, since the railroad is really in the
Courts hands. But he warns the engi-
neers that they cannot leave the railroad g
employ in way to injure the property,
and that they can not boycott under any
condition and railroads on which the
Brotherhood is striking.

The Immediate Fate of the Bill Hangs
Upon the Speaker.
A London dispatch says that upon the
Speaker of the House of Commons hangs
the immediate fate of the Home Rule bill.
Friday evening he will be called upon to
decide, according to the Gladstone pro-
gramme, whether the bill has been suffi-
GENTLY debated on the second reading,
and his decision will stand unquestioned.
The real battle over the bill began this
week, and Mr.. Gladstone purposes to
force a reading by Friday, while the op-
position hope to stave it off week. In
this emergency each side is putting great
hopes in the Speaker using his peculiar
prerogative in its favor. The Conserva-
tives rely upon his partisanship, since he
is ostensibly member of the party,
while the Gladstonians profess that his
admitted high sense of fair play will
give them the decision.

MOFFITT'S AUTHORITY
The Responsibility for the Kansas
Doodle Charges Before the In

His Basis for the Allegations q
Conversation Between Two
Strangers.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 6.-John Y. Moi
fit, who was responsible for the Doodle
charges made by the Topeka Capitol
against the state administration, and
who had been lodging the Investigate
ing committee since its appointment,
appeared this forenoon before the COM
mittee. He admitted that he had
no personal knowledge of the
charges, and confessed that his entire
knowledge was based upon converse
ton which he claimed to have over
heard in the Copeland hotel between a
man connected with the Kansas City
stockyards and another man. whose
business he did not know. Moffitt knew
neither man. The stockyards man, he
declared, had brother who was
identified with the policy gamblers, and
from him the stockyards man had
learned about the Doodle which had
been sent to Topeka 10 control the
appointment of police commissioners
at Kansas City, Kan. and implicat-
ing Gov. Lewelling, Close and Little.
MOffitt said he at once went 10 Gov.
LeWelling and told him of Doodle
rumors he had heard. The governor
told him that he knew money was
being raised to get the two warning
houses together, but said nothing about
any other Doodle. Moffitt told the story
of the conversation he had heard to
several friends. among them Maj.
Hudson, OF the Capitol. He was
surprised to see the story in print
the next morning, and said it contained
some inaccuracies. Cross-eXamined,
Moffitt admitted that, although LEVEL
l. friA
made no effort to verify the SANDER told
by the two strangers before he repeated
it to others, and that he had not at
tempted to find or Identify the strang-
ers, and that he had not seen them
since.
