RESOLUTIONS ON NEGRO EXCUR
 SIONS


 SIONS.
 Whereas, the railroad, steamboat and other excursions, given and largely pat ronized by ministers, churches and in- diViduals of our race is a fruitful cause of much crime; an entailment of no small amount of poverty and a fearful corrupter of the morals of our people, especially the young. therefore be 1t Resolved, l. That we declare that 1t is the sense of this Baptist State Con- yention, that any preacher or layman giving OF patronizing these excursions is unworthy of membership in the Bap- tist denomination or a place among the respectable and aspiring part of the ne- gro race.
 ?. That we brand the habitual excur- sion-giver as an enemy to his race and apaid tool to sell the virtue and possibili- ty of his race.
 2. That the close conneo tion between the railroad excursion and the camp meeting compel reason and religion to identify the two as burdens of vice and sin to be summed by all decent people everywhere and at all times. PROF. r. H. PATTERSON,

IN SUNLIGHT AND FOG.

The talented editor of the Northwest
Magazine, who is temporarily conduct
ing the kindergarten at Republican ma
tional headquarters in which instruc-
ton is given to the voters of that partv
in the rudiments of money, along with
miscellaneous lot of transformation
on that and other topics, devotes two
or three columns of his latest issue TO
an argument in which lucidity and
murkiness are strangely blended. With
the simplicity and clearness of a kim
dergartner he takes his class of farmers
through an explanation of the Cheap
ness Of commodities A pair Of shoes
must necessarily cost less that require
but four minutes to make than one
which took man two days to com
plete. A bushel of wheat must una
voidably be cheaper when one man will
harvest what took the labor of ten
men to do. Competition of other pro-
ducers wrenches from shoemakers and
wheat growers the profit that comes
from lessened cost of making. Thus
the argument runs ON with lucidity
the more commendable that it comes
from a very straight-laced Republican
pretectionist.
But it occurs to him that he has
heard some deluded farmer protest
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-09-25

that, If he must sell under this immut-
able law of competition, it is but de-
cent justice that he have the right
to buy on the same terms, and the
versatile editor forthwith proceeds to
convince him that he should not. Here
he plunges into the fog. He is more
at home here. He is in his element A
Republican out of this murkiness is
never happy. Some, the most of them,
never get out: some with bigger
sunlight, as did our editor but they
scurry back to their accustomed and
congenial gloom. So this educator goes
on to repeat that hoary old fable about
the home market. Just now it's appe-
tite is cloyed by an overfeed of Demo-
cratic free trade All it needs is
restoration of the policy of the Great
Apostle of Protection, when its appe-
tite Will return. and it will consume the
farms produce and prices will rise
again and the farmer will be happy. 1t
is assumed, but not stated, that COM
petition will, in some way, cease it's
cheapening; for, if it do not, then the
writer attempts the 0Iiiicuit task of
be relieved from selling cheap what
they produce by paying more for what
they buy. 1t might convince one of
the Hon. Chimmie Fadden's farmers.
but hardly any other
From generalities he descends to par
ticulars. He gives an object lesson. In
his house are two rattan chairs, the one
made in st. Paul, the other in Japan;
the one made five thousand miles away
by pauper labor, the other at home by
American labor. The former lives on
Japanese rice, the latter on products
OF the American farm. The Japanese
chair is in every way the better one,
more tastefully made, more work spent
on 1t, more material, more pleasing to
the eye and comfortable to the body;
price being equal, any one would take
it instead Of the homemade chair But
should not the farmer prefer the chair

enough to deny this should he not be
mildly coerced to do it under the be-

either shut out the Jap's product or
smartly increase it's cost? It is the

CHAIN OF FORTS.
They VIII Connect DOngOIa With
WadY HaIfa.

DONGOLA-O N-THE-NILE, Sept "a
An inspection of the dervish defenses
at this place shows that they were con-
structed with great skill, that the pO-
sitionS were well chosen and that if they
had been held by resolute men they
would have caused an immense amount
Of trouble and loss to the Anglo
Egyptian expedition. About 900 der
wish prisoners were captured in adj
dition to a large, quantity of arms Of
all kinds, dates sufficient to support an
enormous fighting force for long time,
great quantities of grain and large
supplies of sheep and cattle. The hon
ors of the fighting fell to the gunboats
and the artillery, whose shells reached
the fleeing enemy far out in the desert.
DeSerters from the deryish forces con-
tinue to arrive here, as they are all
anxious to serve under the Egyptian
flag.
The work of perfecting the chain of
depOtS and forts connecting this place
with Wady Halfa is being pushed with
the greatest energy and from here
work on the railroad embankment be-
gins tomorrow, so as to join the line
being pushed southwark as quickly as
possible. All the troops are in eX-
cellent health and spirits, and the pro-
visions captured have considerably
strengthened the position of the sirdar.
No announcement has been made as to
the course of the expedition in the
future, everybody being busily occu-
pied in the work Of settling down here,
establishing advance posts, clearing
away the debris of the dismantled for
tif1cations preparatory to reconstruct
ing a number of them on q large and
more important scale), on large and
storing ammunition and supplies and
constructing camps for possible stay
of some length here.

VOTE For PALMER.
This The Advice of "a Correspondent
OF the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
notice that there Is now quite a lively
discussion going on as to whether Demo-
cratic believers in the maintenance of the
present gold standard should support McKin-
ley for president.
II they are real Democrats, they can only
do SO On my opinion) If the danger is really
great that Bryan may be elected. and / do
not think that any one who has tried to keep
posted in regard to the facts, can now hon
estly assert that there is any danger of Bry
ans election.
The discussion which has taken place has
clearly developed the weakness of his cause.
ana on all sides you hear people who had
at nrst been taken with the free silver COIN
age idea, who now acknowledge that they
were mistaken.
In this connection let me say, that Candi-
GATE Bryan himself has, as politician
tipped off, the fact that he is beaten al
ready.
If he thought he stood chance OF being
elected. do you think he would publicly adj
wise his opponents to all vote for McKin-
leyE On the contrary, would he not ask
them to vote for Palmer? He is not stupid
enough not to know that one of his best
chances for election lay in being able to
spit his opponents into two parties. Any
politician knows the advantage OF being able
to do that!
1t will be asked. s'Wha+ than ;s b;s al
ject?'' e"' 40 HiS W
His object is clearly to prevent the forma-
ton by the gold standard Democrats of a
strong party-to claim to the public after
THIS election is over, that his crowd is the
Democratic party, and to have the smalIness
| OF the vote cast for Palmer to prove his
assertion.
III these facts recommend themselves to
democrats as being of some Importance |
Would also like to call their attention to the
principles that are involved.
Just let them read the Republican platform
through, and see how much of it they can
| stomach"
The whole of our troubles are attributed to
the INSTRUMENTATION of affairs by the
Democratsl
Are we right in voting that way?
AS | take it, the only part of their plat
| form of which we can approve, Is the one
dealing with the kind of money we should
have. and that plank has a distinctly bad
| spot in it, which is, the expressed determi-
nation of their party to work for interna-
tional bimetallism.
Ii there is one thing more strongly brought
out than another in the discussion of this
subject, 1T is that We are asked by the Bry-
antics to say that the government should
| call So cents worth of silver dollar.
| III it would be morally wrong for our gov
| eminent to do that, how many governments
combined can make wrong right?
/ vote cast for Palmer and Buckner is a
stronger protest against Organism than one
cast for Mckinley, in my opinion.
