COLORED EPISCOPALIANS,
Unchristfan Prejudice Giving Place to
Liberal Movement
ID. B. MALoNEY, Chairman,
+. F. CARPENTER, Secretary.


Sister Margaret of the Episcopal Sister,
hood of this city is soliciting subscriptions
for the first colored Episcopal Church in
the Diocese of Delaware. The enterprise
has been authorized by Bishop Coleman,
and Is in the interest of ST. Matthew's Mis-
sion, of which the Rev. HI d. Speakman is
the rector. Sister Margaret has already
received several liberal subscription.
Sister Margaret, who is an indefatigable
worker, intends in the future TO open an
orphanage for coIored girls, in which they
may be thoroughly trained for domestic
service.
We clip the above from one of the Will
mington papers of Thursday, and give our
hearty endorsement to this movement un-
der the sanction of the Bishop of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church.
The Catholic church already has a pros
porous work among the colored people of
Wilmington. we huif tf1is as favorable
omen for this class of our citizens, and we
hope the good Bishop will extend this work
of the church throughout the State.
We have never been able to understand
the policy of christian churches sending
missionaries to Africa to save the natives
there, and giving no special attention to
those people at home. Some of tie evan
gelical churches in our State have labored
untiringly for years in the interest of this
race; though confronted by unreasonab lie
and unchristian prejudices. they have
brooked this opposition, and by careful in
struction and in various other ways have
greatly helped these people in their efforts
to attain better manhood and woman
hood.

JOHN EZRA RICHARDS.
Montana's Governor a Candidate fol
Cauoko

M ontana'S Governor a Candidate for
the U. S. Senate.
Prominent among the Montana caudi.
dates for the United States Senate is Cover
nor John E. Richards who is we'll known
to many of our readers. The Helena
Clock of recent date say
Governor Richards is now in the prime
of life, having been born in 1913. His
birthplace was Delaware City, Del, but he
was reared on the farm of an uncle near
Middletown, in that State. He started in
life as clerk in store in Wilmington, but
on attaining his majority sought wider and
more alluring fields for his energies in the
West.
He went first to Colorado, was subsequent
ly i'll business in California, and after
wards came TO Montana, going into the
mercantile business in Butte. He began
his public life in that city, serving two
years in city council. He was then elected
to the upper house of the Legislature from
Silver Bow county. and also to the Gonsti-
tutional Convention, serving in both with
distinction. In the first State election he
was the candidate of the Republican party
for Lieutenant Governor and was elected
by very complimentary majority. In this
position his character as public man was
put to the severest test in the complications
arising out of the famous Precinct "a con-
troversy. Throughout he stood true to- his
party and contributed greatly to the sue
cess of the Republicans in organizing the
Legislature and electing Senators. The
party further recognized his abilities and
worth by nominating him for Governor in
1892. and the nomination was followed by
triumphant election. He took the guber-
national chair on January 2 1S93 and
though the times since then have seen
some troublous and unprecedented condi-
tlons, he has made an excellent executive.
His course has been irm and at times ag-
gressive, but withal such as to commend
itself in the judgement ofthe people.
The Goyerno's private life is made
happy by mos tstimable wife and family.
Mrs. Richards is charming woman, a
social favorite, and possesses intellectual
attainments which were of great value to
the State during her work at the Worlds
Fair. The Governor is prominent in the
Episcopal church and has twice
represented Montana at international
church gatherings. He belongs to the |
knights of Pythias, the Elks and the An
cient Order of United Workmen. His
home is in Butte. but his residence since he
became Governor, of course, has been at
the capital.

What 1t Costs vilminoton

The Rev. DR.. Merritt Hulburd says that
there are in Wilmington 269 saloons, or one
for every 81 voters. The license fee for
saloons is $500, so that the amount which
the saloon keepers have to take in over
the bars is $So,700 year before they have
made up the cost of their licenses. Esti-
mating the average rental of the saloons at
$500 it would be necessary for the sellers of
liquor to take in $1sl, 400 every year before
they began to make profit upon their sales.
These figures show the extent to which peo.
pie OF this city waste their money in the
purchase of liquor. The amount of money
which the state expends yearly for salaries
for the judges. the state auditor, the state
treasurer. the secretary of state, the attor-
ney-general, the superintendents of the
public schools. the governor and the state
detectives, and for The support Of the insane
asylum is only about $4,000.
