he proposed to leave no stone unturned
to convict Anderson and Cough, II

for that purpose. DR.. McGrew, the

He says that he has reported to the

There is scheme on foot to direct
the taxes of white and colored citizens
to the maintenance of their separate
schools in the south. Tennessee, Vir-
ginia Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi
are discussing the question. Mississippi
seems to be in the lead in this new
effort The education of the blacks
has always been distasteful the south
ern mind, before and since the war.
According to atatement published in
the New Orleans Monitor, from white
representative in thirteen counties, the
whites paid tax of $4,000 and ex.
pended $sT. 900: and in ten counties,
where the blacks outnumber the whites
in tn proportion of 10 to l, there was
collected Caxes amounting to 1924, 600,
of which $11O, 900 was used for school
purposes. The reserve was used for
the relief of the thirteen counties and
those similarly situated. To the claim
that the 1924, 900 came wholly out OF
the pockets of the whites, the Monitor
says that the negroes by their labor
placed it in the pockets OF the whites.
The question demands the strong oppo-
sition of all who are interested in ad-
yancement.

Surprising Number of Idiots In the Country.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The scheme
Of the friends of Edna Kane and
Mettie German, of Kaneville, Ills, in
instituting chain" of letters seeking
cancelled postage stamps for the benefit
of the latter, a cripple, has resulted in
an investigation by the postotfice
inspector, and a report was forwarded
to Postmaster General Bissell. The
scheme caused great annoyance to the
postal service, aggravated by new
'schain' inaugurated at Ell Paso, Texas,
in mock expression Of sympathy for
the postmaster, whose office was flooded
with mail as the result. The mum ber
of stamps found in the room of the
beneficiary of the system is estimated
at $4,000, 900, and the report says
farmer boys supplied with sacks carried
off many of the letters. The mails not
only comprised letters, but boxes and
bundles carrying between 1000 and
10000 cancelled stamps. "There are
enough idiots throughout the country,
says the inspector, ''to swamp the
Office with stamp letters, driving the
postmaster to the insane asylum. The
present situation is ridiculous for all
concerned, and will likely end in
grand bonfire of the 15,Ooo,00o stamps
already received" The scheme, he
concluded, has demoralized the office
and good service demands an immediate
remedy The issuance of fraud .
order prohibiting the use OF the mails
is recommended, but the report ma
not vet been acted on.

Boston Post: 1t is not that Fred
Douglass did remarkably well fora col

a man of any color.

statesman and leader of his race, he
achieved position and welded an in

highly esteemed than in Rochester,
where he fought his early battles and
laid the foundation for his well-earned
fame as the active pioneer of a noble
cause.
indianapolis News: Mr. Douglass
struggles and achievements would have
been praiseworthy and admira BILE in a
man of whatever race or color In the
instance of one who began life under
the most discouraging circumstances
imaginable, they lift him to high
place among the men of the time.
Philadelphia Record: There is no
city in the land in which the death of
Frederick Douglass will awaken a
greater sense of loss, or stir up kind

which he was conspicuous, than in
Philadelphia. His memory will long be
cherished by both the white and the
colored people of this country.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
In Rochester Frederick Douglas was
always highly esteemed as citizen

There are two American duchesses
in the British peerage, her grace OF
Manchester and her grace of MARI
borough. Both are widows, both are
young enough to marry again, and
both are of attractive person. Now
comes the rumor that one Of them is to
wed young New Yorker, rich, hand
some, and of good position. ! have no
idea how much truth there is in the
statement, but / do know who are
meant by this mysterious description.
Who is the man, do you think? will
not tell you now, nor if did would
you be able from that to guess which
of the duchesses it is. But | will say
that am not satisfied that the event
is likely to come off soon. On the
contrary, am very skeptical bout the
whole thing. Either of these ladies
would be welcome again among us,
and as it is to be expected that New
York husband would persuade his
bride. even though a duchess, to live
here. trust the tale may come true
