COLONiZING NEGROES.
ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE TO
TRANSPORT FIVE THOUSAND
ANNUALLY TO LIBERIA.

BIRMINGHAN, Ala, Sept. 4th.-J.
R. Mcmillan, president of the Inter
national immigration society, states
that contract has been closed with
the African Steamship Co. for the
transportation of 5000 cOlOnists an
nually to Liberia. The society pro
poses for certain stipulated price to
furnish transportation and three
months provision for the colonists.
He says the government of Liberia
proposes, in order to encourage this
settlement Of its territory, to give
each cOlOnist twenty acres Of
land and the necessary implements
with which to till it. The headquar-
ters of the society will be here, as
will be its purchasing officers. Mr..
Mcmillan says the first steamer will
leave early in October and will touch
along the Atlantic coast as far as
New Orleans. From there it will
90 direct to Liberia, touching at Ha-
vana, Cuba.

Prof, Washington, principal OF
has submitted his annual report to
the board of trustees of that instltu
ton, which was founded thirteen
years ago. The report is one that
the trustees may well feel proud of
It shows that from the beginning,
July 4, 1881 without dollar except
an annual APPROPRIATION of $4,000
from the state for tuition, the insti-
tuition has within the thirteen years
Of it's existence, increased its income
so that it now amounts to S421. 5.42
in cash from all sources. OF this
amount, $37 900 has come from the
state, S5'162.50 from the Peabody
fund, Sl5, 900 from the John +. Slater
fund, and $51 ,45O9l has came from
the students towards their expenses.
The remaining $312, ,842.0l has came
in the form of gifts from individuals,
organizations, concerts and the
county of Macon. The institution
began without any property, but it
now owns $50 acres of land and
property-including land, buildings,
live stock and apparatus-valued at
5000 600 without any mortgage upon
it.
This is certainly acreditable show
ing, and also shows that the Negroes
of Macon county and Alabama are
going about the solving Of the race
problem in the right way. Let other
states take Tuskogee as a criterion
and follow in their wake, and let our
leaders go about advocating institu-
tions of this kind throughout the
land, instead of harping upon immi-
grafton and division in politics as be-
ing the ways in which to solve the
ever veXatious race problem.

4 CHRISTIAN CONSTABLE.

Constable Sam Jones has issued
the first number of the BAPTIST
WORLD in this city, having recently
purchased the paper and moved it
here on account of the central chris
tian location of Wichita. IT is not
often that a constable is imbued
with a deep religious sentiment, but
Sam is an exception. He can drop
tue editorial pen at any hour Of the
day, buckle on his siX-shooter, give
chase to a chicken thief and return
to write the glories of the Baptist
faith without the least disturbance
in the realm Of his thought. He is
not only an advocate and defender
of the statutes of the state, but he
stands up nobly for the statutes of
Moses. He is making mighty good
paper and starts out with a good cir
culation. Daily Eagle.

The proportion of communicates
of all denominations to the pOpula-
ton of the country is believed to be
one out Of every three; that is, i'll the
total population Of 64,784,326 in the
United States we haue about p, ,594
775 communicants. This proportion
is more than maintained among the
Negroes of this country. On the
basis of our population which the
last census places at 100000, we
should have 2, 400, 900 church men,
bers. We go beyond this nearly 100,
900. This we think should be sub
stantial proof TO the enemies of the
race that religion is not mere camp
meeting affair in the thought and
purpose Of the Negro.

The forest fires which have been
raging in Minnesota for several days
are the most destructive ever known.
Nearly four hundred persons have
lost their lives already, and hun
dreds Of others have been rendered
homeless by the greedy flames which
have been licking up town after town
and village after village. The losses
occasioned by these fires will run
away into the millions. The flames
have now however, somewhat abated
for want of something more upon
which to pounce.

TIL f RACE PROBLEM
NOTES.

Rev. J. H. Bradshaw Of Topeka,
has church upon his claim and. is
doing we'll. He breaches, prays and
sings as ever.
We met Mesdames Beatty and
Goodseal and Misses Ester Beatty
and Berdie Reed, our old Chanute
friends, they are doing well.
We dined with Bishop Beebee at
the beautiful residence Of Mr. w. H.
Smith on the evening Of the 23rd.
Rev. A. p. JOrdon has built up the
largest church in Guthrie, having
begun with three members, now nis
membership is three hundred. His
church edifice is the newest and the
largest.
We were happy to meet Mesdames
Ida Perkins and Anna Smith whom
we had not met in several years.
They are the daughters of wealthy
Arkansas business man.
Revs. Austin and AllstOne are
among the brainiest ministers of the
city.
The cOlOred people control the cot
ton market of the territory. Last
year the product yielded $4,000; this
year, it is predicted more than 5000,
900 worth will be sold, 'Rah for
cotton.
We were cared for grandly at the
residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. GOOdseal,
the latter was the Cornelius of the
Association. They are some Of the
best Kansas people.
The Baptist Convention at Guthrie
represented about IS churches; $50
ministers, 80 Sabbath Schools, 6 mis-
sion circles and Al log church edifices.
There are many "Elders" large
number of "Revs." and multitude
of "Drs.' among the servants" of
God, in the territory.
Rev. D. Wilson Of Kingfisher is
president of the Baptist Convention.
His head is as level as when he lived
in Kansas. The Elder is an honor
able, progressive leader.
President Breckenridge of the Sab
bath School Convention is an old
Lawrence boy. He is smart and is
beloved by all.
Our old friend Rev.. F. Green is
pastor of First Baptist church, Perry.
He has claim only six miles from
town, which is already valued in
four figures. Green is doing a
mighty work.
Rev. H. J. White, Oklahoma City
was elected General Missionary for
the territory. He is rustler from
away back and will make the Jack
rabbits leap for sorrow.
Wealthy Negroes ought to organ
ize themselves, come here and estab-
lish business enterprises,

too. there are many able pastors that
are doing noble work-men who are
born leaders, full of wisdom who
comprehend the exigencies of their
new relations in a new land.
THE HOME MISSION SOCIETY
True to it's instructive principles
which have already in large meas
ure crystalized the hopes of s 100000
newmade citizens, has planted its
mission among the five civilized
tribes and those who have recently
come here There ism t a country in
all this Union where the investment
Of gold and silver into the redemp
ton of human souls is so certain to
reap an abundant harvest in the vim
yard Of the Lord and His Christ.
/ Accurate statistical reports Of the
inhabitants of these new lands is i'm
possible, but it is stated on excellent
authority that there are IA 900 people
Of color who have never heard the
ringing a church bell or sermon
preached. Think of it! God help us!
Brethren, let us not be weighed in
the scales and found wanting.
Revs. Jordan, DIR. Nightingale and
Wickley are the prominent pastors Of
GUTHRIE.
| Is months ago when we made a run
ming trip to this city, one half Of the
cOlOred population was living in dug
outs, tents, in sinks snd in open air.
| The avenues and streets were block
ed by invidious but sincere pOpulace; q;
now, the paraphernalia Of temporary
dwellings, the wigwams, the innu-
merahle uugOuts have been translat-
ed into p magnificent city of frame,
brick and stone. There are 1000 col
Ored people in this city. Four Bap-
tist, three Methodist, one old school
and one Christian Church. Their
memberships range from 100 to $50
members. The Baptists are in the
lead, numerically, intellectually and
financially. Their houses of wor-
ship are cOmmodious and beautifully
located. The First church, of which
DR.. Nightingale is pastor, contem-
plates the erection Of $12, 600 90 edi-

church buildings and lots which
colored Christians have acquired for

PROMINENT MEN.

There are many big Negroes here =.
Judges, lawyers, physicians, mu-
sicians, merchants, real estate men,
sculptors and mechanics, abound.
Judge Perkins is editor Of the GUTH-
RTE GUIDE which has a circulation
of 1900 among the 20 900 colored peO-
pie of Oklahoma; it is radical
champion of the rights of the race.
Mr.. Norris is wholesale whiskey
dealer and is worth $1,000; Mr.. w, H.
Smith is the leading cOlOred grocer,
his mercantile ventures involve
nearly S15, ,000,0 90 annually; there are
a dozen other business enterprises
With capital stock aggregating $40,
900 or $50, 900. McCabe, an eX-Audi-
tor of Kansas, is real estate broker
of considerable financial reinforce
ment. We shall hope the rumOr,
that Mr.. McCahe curses his people
who have make him, and eVades all
African contamination is untrue,
AS matter Of fact the population of
Guthrie, like that of all new countries
is cosmopolitan. People of all coun-
tries, Of all nations, and Of all cOndl-
tions are assimilating, Americaniz-
ing under the municipal protector
ate Of this territorial government,
and the final ameliOratiOn Of the So
cial and political complexion Of this
people like a vortex of many streams
will, no doubt, be the centripetal
mecca Of the next generation.
AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.
The soil of these new lands is rich g,
fertile aud rolling. Small streams
form network of canals, In both
Oklahoma and the Cherokee strip
the colored people own hundreds of
claims of 40, SO and 100 acres each.
Possibly no where on this continent,
in a single given state are our people
better, prepared to battle life and its
froWns. Here men, women and
children have come without money
or its value, and have, with hoe and
spade cleared away the wilderness,
erected log houses and made crops
of corn, wheat and cotton without
the use of team. This gruly illus
trates the condition of many. 9th
ers have been more fortunate. they
brought money, teams and imple-
ments, Howbeit. the Negro that
has claim within 40 or so miles
either of Guthrie or Perry, may
write it down that fortune for him
is enveloped in the soil over which
he treads. You can ride over as
much as ten square miles of this
country that is owned and cultivated
by Negroes exclusively. This would
constitute large slice Of the state OF
Rhode Island. 1t is true that some
hardships and many perils must be
endured in the transformation OF
this wilderness into a palace Of mod

ern civilization, and, the thousand.
Of colored people, reinforced by eX-
misunderstanding between two in
vidiOus foes, Northern competition
and Southern rejudice. have come
to full realization Of this fact. If old
traditions, bias subterfuges and va
cillating jealousies do not thrive in
this new atmosphere it is plain to see
that the rising generation will con-
tain the ideal type of American
citizenship; then the political and
social status of the race will be lifted
in the glare Of the highest civiliza-
ton beyond the criticisms of our en-
enlies on both the Eastern and West
ern hemispheres; then all conten-
ton as to place and power will cease
to be pr dicated upon race, color or
previous condition of servitude.
THE RACE PROBLEM.
Wealth and brain are the gods Of
commerce. They dictate the poll
cies of governments, direct the des-
tinies of nations, vanquish the unre-
generated forces Of colorphobia and
settle all claims against society for
the Negro and his pOsterity. In
these new lands the Negro boy and
girl have thrown away the garb of
city life, and entered heart and soul
upon a newer, grander career under
conditions most favorabletO to the ulti-
mate emancipation Of their circnm-
stances.

ment, then we are frank TO say that we
DO not know what it does indicate.

THE Tribune wants to know in
what Cleveland's amnesty proclama-
ton differs from that of Mr.. Harri, on.
We know one thing about them and
that is this, the people have a good
deal more confidence in MIR. Cleveland 3
than the other, and they have COM
pleted their preparations to vOte under
it, which they never did under that Of
Harrison. We take it that that ia the
substantial difference, or at least the
valuable difference. HarFison's pro-
clsmation gave us no votes. CleYe-
lands does. Perhaps tie Tribune has
already ciphered this problem out. and
that ie why it is in so much distress
about it.

IT now seems that bit of an out
rage was perpetrated on Messrs.
Bromley and Robinson of American
Fork, in the action before the grand
jury. 1t would now be in order for the
republican committee to explain just
why the effort was made to down one
or the other of these two Mormons to
get in liberal in place of them, or
either of them. Verify is there lots of
deyiousness in the ways of the repub-
licans these latter days.
