session was the adoption of resolutions
submitted by the committee through kev.
Or. Jenifer, chairman. Their tenor was
iaudatory OF the visit of Ida Wells to Erg-
iahd and her speeches there on the preva-
ience OF lynch law in the south.
Inc resolutions condemned 1.-The evasions
and arrogance displayed in the letters of
several governors of southern states in
regard to Miss Wells crusade" 40 argue
the necessity of lynch law as these gov
errors do is to argue the weakness of eau
;aslan law. The Potomac district recog-
nizes that the wrong conduct of one people
does not justify wrong in another" The
resolutions were discussed widely.
DR.. w. G. Bryant, secretary of the Ma
tional League of Equal Rights Association,
said that his organization, numbering 49,
600 colored members, and affiliated with an
organization of whites numbering $50, 800,
are pledged against lynch law. He had q
letter few days ago from Rev. Peter
Stanford of England that he would be in
this country next month. The Duke of
Argyle and Lady Somerset are also COM
ing to investigate mob violence. He said
the more respectable southern people have
a warm place In their hearts for the negro,
and he rejoiced that in Memphis, Tenn,
all the papers that had condemned Miss
Ida Wells now denounce the lynchers ut
Wilmington, Tenn, and, better still, those
lynchers are in Jail, and the jail is guarded.
The conference then adjourned.

STRIKES AND LYNCHING,
A. M. Z. Clergymen Of the Potomac
District Express Themselves.

The ministers of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church attending the Potomac
district conference at Trinity Church, Lin
den avenue and Biddle street, Baltimore
devoted considerable attention to current
topics yesterday. They discussed the
proper attitude of the church toward
strikes, Mis- Ida Wells and her crusade
against lynch law, the prosperity of the
colored race, missions and kindred mat
tiers.
At the afternoon session Rev. ]. T. Jeni-
The Attitude of the Church Toward
Strikes" He took as the basis of his re-
marks Malachi, Iii, 8. which condemns
those who Cypress the hireling in his
wages, and also the words from Matthew
XIV, 10, which tell of the gift of talents
according to the ability of the recipient
to one five, to another two, and to another
one talent He said the first text suggests
tween capital and labor, while the second
suggests the occasion for such troubles;
the one speaks of the sin of covetousness,
ard the other of a diversity of talents.
The speaker favored legal arbitration as
a remedy for evils of the present times.
He cited as an evil the suffering of the
therefore" said he, the only tenabie
ground for the church to take is in favor
of legal methods of settlement by arbitra-
ton where there is a dispute. The time

called upon to save the republic from an
archy or from the danger of dictator"
At the night session Rev. d. z. Seaton,
DID,, MD, of this city read a paper on
THE Moral Influence of Miss Ida b. Wells
Crusade Against Lynching." DR.. Seaton
cited the efforts of conventions and con-
ferences Of the colored people to arouse
the nation to oppose lawlessness against
people of his race, and claimed that they
have not succeeded in preventing lynch
ings. Miss Wells, said he, had done more
than the short range efforts they had been
using to arouse public sentiment against
these outrages. She loaded her gun with
truth and shot at long range from across
the Atlantic with telling effect.
He called attention to the need of a
change of public sentiment as to the
morals Of the colored race, claiming that
falsehood in regard to this matter is what
leads up to these lynchings Miss Wells
had done much in England to correct the
false impression that colored mel are
lynched as q necessity.

easy chairs and sofas dotted the space all
around, and papers and books give plenty
evidences of their enjoyment. A big rocker
under the trees which shade the church
porch made a resting place for the man of

more fun than himself over the fact that
within easy reach hung the bell rope a

that the church is to become the winter

Music by the Pound.

From the Boston Transcript
That's a jolly idea that they have in Ber-
lin, of selling sheet music by the pound.
You go to one of the shops where music is
sold in this way and give them list of the
pieces you want and they select them and
lay them out in pile and weigh them out
so many pounds, so many marks and pfen-
nigs. Or, if you can afford, say, three
pounds of music, you can take one pound of
sentimental, one pound of dramatic, twelve
ounces of comic, and four ounces of devo-
tcnal, or any other such arrangement that
suits your fancy. 1t is great boon to the
musician who is poor-not to speak of the
poor Observation-Disclosures under this system
Wagner and Brahms and Dvorak will cost
him no more than the Insignificant and for
gotten Smithkowski, and the deluded and
soft-headed Screwlocski And Wagner for
the piano, of course, being bought by the
pound can be played by the pound with good
grace.

Hon. JAS. Capehart.

Several aspiring statesmen, who
would like to occupy Mr.. Capehart's
seat in Congress, are very anxious
that1he should become candidate
for Governor, Senator, or something
else that will take him out of the
Congressional field In this they
will be disappointed, for he will
again be nominated and elected. for
the people of the Fourth District
are satisfied with him, and know
well that in him they have a serv-
ant prompt and attentive to busin
ess, always at his post of duty
Then the Democrats recognize the
fact that in his votes in Congress
he has adhered closely to their pol
icy as outlined in the Congressional
and National platforms They also
know that in the coming bitter
struggle for control of the next
House of Representatives, no other
man in this District can so well
unite all of those who oppose a
single gold standard and favor a
more liberal financial policy, as well
as the friends of tariff reform. AT
the Congressional election in 1892,
Mr.. Capehart received about 1900
more votes than did Mr.. Cleveland
or the Democratic~Stat ticket, in
the Fourth District, and his friends
are now firm in the belief that he
has lost none of his strength, but
that the farmers will again rally to
the support of the only representa-
tive farmer ever sent to Congress
from this State.

Undenocratie.

The New York World argues
loudly in favor of bond issue.
We are sorry to see a Democratic
newspaper commit itself to a project
so undemoeratie. We are sorry to
see it at this time when the Demo
cratic party has complete control of
the government, and when it Is in
the power of Democratic congress
to SO adjust the revenues and re-
duce expenditures as to prevent the
imposition of this new-tax on the
people. The promise in the plat
form was that the revenue neces-
sary to meet the expenses of the
government, honestly and economi-
caIIy administered, should be de-
rived by reducing the tariff to a
revenue basis. Are Democrats to
be called on to declare that their
platform is sham and fraud in
this matter2 >Are the Democrats
prepared to accept a responsibility
in this matter of bonds that Presi-
dent Harrison shrank from?

The Words Of 4 Patriot.

We verify believe that the aver
age Republican would rather havc
the business depression that now
exists throughout the country,
continue, than have times grow
better under Democratic admins
tration. mother words, partisanry,
with Republicans, is stronger than
patriotism.
We desire above everything else
to see the country prosper, and will
welcome relief no matter from what
party it proceeds. We do not be-
lieve any scheme that exemplifies
the policy of the Republican party
will bring the country TO it's great
est measure of prosperity. We do
not believe it can even be uniform
ly prosperous so long as Republican
ideas predominant in the adminis-
tration of the government, but, if
the adoption of any Republican
measure, or the borrowing by the
Democrats of any Republican idea,
results in business Improvement,
we will cheerfullY credit it to its
proper source.
Such eclecticism should distin-
guish the American people more
than at present. Take the best
from all parties, though, we must
confess, Republicans offer us little
of excellence to choose. In other
words, put business above politics.
And this to Republicans: Don't
cling to a political organization
simply because it is your party.
Its policy hasfailed to meet the de-
mands of business prosperity and
should be replaced by some other

A Happy New Year.

Despite the temporary shadows
which at present hang over it, there
is every reason to believe that the
incoming year will prove a prosper
GUS one for the country and hap
Ply one consequently for its citizens.
In the first place, everybody who
is not confirmed pessimist knows
that the present industrial depress-
ion cannot last any length of time.
There is no reason whatever why it
should do so. There is as much
money in the country now as ever
before; our products are in as great
demand as heretofore, and not a
single one of our industries will be
menaeed or in any way injured by
the tariff legislation that is pending
in Congress.
We are at peace with the outside
world and united at home. Political
differences may divide us on certain
issues for the time being, but such
divisions are only natural. Under
lying them all is an answering at
tachment on the part of all Ameri-
cans to their common country and
a readiness to sacrifice personal
predictions to the public welfare
and prosperity. These Characters
tics of the people have often before
asserted themselves and caused far
gloomier shadows than the present
ones to yield to the sun ofprOsperity
and the light of happiness. They
are already asserting themselves
anew, with the result that every
day brings increasing confidence
and. brighter prospects for the
future.
In its firm conviction and belief
that before 1894 is many days old,
the country assured of relief from
the incubus of MeKinleyism, and
with stability thereby insured to its
industries that viii prevent any re-
currence of the present unnatural
depression, will enter upon great
er and grander era of prosperity,
the REGISTER wishes each and all of
its readers and friends the enjoy
ment of ga Happy New Year"

BOSTON ElRE.
The Globe rheater Ruined, With $780,.
600 Loss


Boston, Jan. 2.-Four fire alarms in
quick succession came from the special
box attached to the Globe theater, soon
after midnight When the fireme n
reached the building they quickly saw
that they had big job on hand.
The fire originated in the cloalroom of
the theater and its spread was rapid.
The entrance and lobby of the theater
are in the middle of a large block bound
ed by Washington street, Essex street,
Hayward place, and on the rear by Har-
rison avenue extension. Before the third
and fourth alarms were given the entire
center of the theater seemed one mass of
flames. The Hanlon Brothers .'Su-
perba" was occupying the house.
The flames soon spread to the Globe
cafe, on Hayward place, owned by II.
Brock, and to the upper portion of a
new building, corner of Washington
street and Hayward place, owned by the
Harvard college trustee.
When the fire was out it was found
that the theater was ruined, and, while
the buildings that face Washington
street are uniniured on their fronts, the
roofs of all of them have been burned
The total loss is roughly estimated at
100000, of which the greater part is on
the theater. The Hanlons, it is said, did
not save their properties, and their loss
is said to he 100000.
