His Race.
CHICAGO, Aug 10-Old Fred Douglass,
the colored orator, was greatly wrought
up yesterday in the suffrage congress by
Stephen B. Weeks, professor of Trinity
college, n. c., who read paper on Negro
suffrage in the south. The professor said:
NEGRO suffrage is a failure. 1t must re-
main failure so long as it is not an ally
of the white vote. Negro denomination
means the destruction of property, ruin
and bankruptcy"
Douglass, who was on the platform
arose and made an inpassiored reply.
You are not afraid of negro domination, u
he said shaking his cane ut the professor.
"The negro can never rule this country.
He would be outvoted by the sixty mill,
ions of whites and overwhelmed by your
superior intelligence. There is no oppo-
sition to the negro in the south until he as.
pires to rise. so long as he is ignorant and
lazy no one disturbs him. Ii he aspires to
become a lawyer or a doctor he at once
becomes an upstart."

citizen to see to it that they are KEEP,

CURED. The men at the head of the
Martinsburg banks are we'll known as
honest, capable business men and de.
serve to be treated as such. AS at q
fire, the individual who keeps his

present emergency those who ACT
with common sense are the bes,

pride should impel each to stand by

Bank Failure in WheeIing-The Duty
of the Hour.

The first bank failure in the history
of Wheeling occurred last Saturday
evening when the Exchange Bank, the
Oldest and largest banking institution
in West Virginia, closed its doors.
Hon. John J. Jones, cashier, was APP
pointed receiver.
The bank has capital stock of
$500, 900 and deposits of nearly S2,-
600, 900. A steady drain on its ready
money has been in progress three
months, and, being unable to go fur
ther, suspended. All claims will be
paid in full.
The affair created tremendous sem
sation, and fully aroused the citizens
of Wheeling, causing them to band
together for mutual protection. An
address was issued to business men
and depositors to refrain from with
drawing deposits and to continue to
transact business as usual. 1t is
hoped the address will be needed and
that Wheeling banks and business
houses may retain their reputation as
solid institutions.

BREEZY LETTER FROM AN OLD
FRIEND.

1t is not always in good form for one
to sound his own praises, but there are
times when an individual or news.
paper may with propriety call atten-
ton to what the puplic says or thinks
of him. To our mind the HERALD
now occupies that position. Coming
here almost total strangers, it is but
natural that the editors of the HERALD
should feel somewhat solicitous as to
the opinions of the public. The good
people of the city of Martinsburg and
Throughout the counties of Berkeley,
| Morgan, and Jefferson have been free
toexpress their admiration of the get
up" of the HERALD. This has been
frequently manifested in letters from
correspondents and others and has
taken practical form in large additions
to our subscription list and quite a
handsome increase in advertising pat
ronage.
The following letter, one among
many received, though private one
and evidently not intended for publ
cation, evinces such a kindly interest
and at the same time indicating the
critical examination of a master in
such manner as to interest all, inn
pels us to publish it;

Accidents to the spanish steamer " :.

The Spanish steamer \. 5. de Lo-
reto, in her last voyage from Hong
kong to Manila, met with a series of
accidents, She left IIongkong hav-
ing in tow a steam launch manned by
ten men, under the direction of the
chief officer and second engineer Of
the Lorcto On the second and third
days the weather became very bad
so much so that on the third day the
steam launch was in great peril the
mountainous seas threatening to en-
gulf her, and the chance of her being
saved was very small one. The
officer and the engineer of the launch
We're willing to stick 10 their duty,
but the men were exhausted, and at
day on the fourth day assist
ance was asked from the Loreto.
The captain ordered the steamer to
be stopped, and had the launch
brought alongside. Seven Of the
crew Of the little craft took advan-
tage Of the first opportunity to scram-
bic on board the steamer A big
wave then separated steamer and
launch, but with the next chance the
three remaining members OF the lat
ter's crew got on board the Loreto.
After this it was deemed advisable to
cut the towing line and abandon the
launch which was sinking Some
difficulty was experienced in doing
this, rs, besides a thick hawser.
there was strong wire rope TO be
severed, and three hatchets we're de-
stroyed before the Job was finished.
No sooner was the sinking launch
got rid Of than the discovery was
made that the steamer was making
water through a hole that the launch
had made ia her when she was being
brought alongside livery effort
was Then na5e To stop tie hole By
means ut p.auk-, cement, etc, anu
with considerable difficulty the task
was al last accomplished The Lore
to was not got i, the end Of her
troubles. for il was next found that
about thirty fathoms Of the towing
line had got twisted around the pro-
pelIer This ncces,itated a few
hours hard work. which 0f course was
made Oh the harder by bad weather.
Fortunately tine steamer got to Man
ila without further accident.
