"RACE.PRIDE." :"
To Mr.. ]. Andre w Bowler, Suggests d
BY His "Race-Pride /"


BY His "Race- Pride /"
Dear friend OF mine in ~ thmic line,
Advising for the peoples veal.
Thy voice is heard and pulses stirred
Where'er the PLANET makes appeal
Full we'll with thee may we agree
When elf-reliance thou dost teach;
With steady nerve, will naught can
swerve,
Our manhood sure the goal must
reach.
We cannot rise by empty sighs,
Bemoaning what the fates refused;
From boastings vain we must refrain,
BY other arts success Is sued.
As thou hast said, let each be led
To lift himself from out the mire;
In doing this we cannot miss
Redemption for the race entire.
And vet NV f,iefd attention lend,
While this question ask OF thet;
Dtsst thou not fear that all who hear
May not thy meaning clearly see?
If race pride means as sometimes
seems,
Vain glory, selfishness and strife,
Then I'd advise despite all cries,
Cease not until you crush its life.
This is not all; the thing we call
Race pride may nerve to meet the
hells
OF hate and face cen death for race
May make MITCHELL or a WELLS.
Fate links us all in common thrall,
The color line is plain to view;
We nothing gain by pretext vain,
Ignoring what we know is true.
1t is not well on heights to dwell,
Cot off from ties of brotherhood;
There's naught amiss, but much oi
bliss,
In helping on a common good.
On trial We for all to see
What's hidden meath the sable hue,
With forces manned on every hand,
Wen show the world what we cal
do.

LAND FOR THE POOR.

The Bulgarians are not, admit, an en-
gaging or particularly attractive people:
they have no literature, no artistic tastes,
no great intellectual culture, and no dra-
matte qualities. They are simply a race
of peasants with all peasants mean
ness and prejudices; but also with all a
peasants virtues of industry and fru-
gality. / remember many years ago.
when travelling in the western states of
America, that, as we crossed the prairie
of Illinois in the train, there vas an old
Irish woman seated in the corner of the
car I occupied.
Somebody in the car made a disparag-
ing remark about the dreary monotony Of
the endless plains over which we were
passing. The old woman seemed to take
the comment as an insult to the coun-
try, and, pointing to the homesteads ris-
ing out of the prairie, remarked rather
to herself than anybody else. Sure, and
it is a blessed country; I think God
made it for the poor" And as / trav-
eled through Bulgaria the memory Of this
incident often came back to my mind.
and I thought that this, too. was bles-
sed country, made for God by the peas
ant.-A Peasant State-Edward Dicey.

LABOR RIOT IN CHICAGO.
Painters Working Overtime Are
Badly MaItreated.

Chicago. Sept. 26.-The neighborhood
lof Twenty-ninth and Butler streets
had a we'll developed riot all to itself
last night in a new series of fiat build
|ings being erected there. Five railroad
men passed the building, and seeing
the lights of four painters, who were
working over time, stopped and be-
lcame interested spectators Of their
work One of the railroad men asked
one of the painters if he had union
|card He was told that it was none
lof his business. The railroad man was
lof a different opinion and proceeded
up the ladder where the painter was
located and took forcible hold of him.
At the same time his companions join
ed in the investigation and the other
men were soon being chased up lad
ders. through empty rooms and on to
the roof. where lively fight was soon
lin progress. The painters fought val
liantly. but they were no match for
the hard fists ard Il. avy shoes of the
railroad men. The shouts of the men
alarmed the neighborhood, and the
streets about the building were soon
filled with frightened women, some of
them crying, while others were too
badly scared to cry. A cry OF police
was raised and the attacking party
|thereupon withdrew for consultation.
hurried investigation showed that
there yas no police in the vicinity and
THE fight was renewed. But while the
consultation was going on two of the
painters succeeded in making their es-
|cape. The other two are said to have
|hoisted a flag of truce.
After some parleying the two were
allowed to depart, but not until they
had promised the attacking party that
they would not be in the vicinity again
today looking for trouble.
