introducing Hand Separaiors.

Mr., Eli .Jcpson of the firm of Eli Jep.
son & Son Of Lynn, Mass, formerly OF
China, Me, made the journal call Fri
day. This firm has three Maine cream,
cries, one each Mt Winthrop. Monmouth
and Livermorc Falls
Mr.. .Jepson says they are encouraging
the use of hand separators by the farmers.
There are several good reasons for this,
among them being that more cream. it Is
believed can he obtained where the milk
is run through II separator before long
standing. Then there is great saving
in transportation. Most farms need the
milk from which the cream has been
separated and with a hand separator on
the farm there is no necessity for trans.
porting the entire product 10 the factory
and back again.

OUR BoASTED REPUBLIC

1t may be said, that the Amer,
can Republic is the greatest ano
head of all civilized governments
but. from the standpoint OF the
more intelligent American citizens
# is the weakest of any republic
upon this globe.
For the last four or i've years
there has been a seeming attempt
on the part of the powers that De
to bluff England or some small re-
Uublic like Hayti and at last con-
cluded to interfere with Cuba which
offered an insult to Spain.
So patriotic has this republic
.esmed to be and a disposition to
protect other citizens, under some
other authority until, in our opln'
ion the American Government
looks like q iumping-jack and mel
uublic measures national farces.
If this government is anxious TO
show patriotism and demonstrate
to the world that America is the
Land of the Free and the Home OF
the Brave, why is it that so many
helpless negroes are butchered in
different parts of the United States
the South especially, and nothing
is done, except by Governor OFFER
reIl, in the State of Virginia, to
protect his citizens and bring lynch
era to the bar of justice?
There are citizens in almost every
State in the Union that needs the
nrotection of the General Govern
ment, Notwithstanding the boasts
of the State right doctrine.
The Cubians may need proteo-
ton against Spanish oppression
hnt there are millions OF Afro
Americans who are equally in need
Of the protection of this American
Republic.
Whenever a party or the admins
trations of any party in power be-
comes anxious for national noto-
riety, some kind of bluff game is
PLAYED, that reminds US OF a pipe
hubble that leaves the bowl OF the
nine and bursts before it gets out
OF sight.

THE NEW PASTOR OF ASBuRY
M. E. CHURCH.

Rev. Isaac Thomas was born in Ann
Arundel County, Md, Dec. a, 1860.
His parents moved to Baltimore when
he was just one year old. At the age
of four he showed natural ability TO
speak and attracted hundreds to hear
him when it was known that he would
appear upon the stage and speak;
Everybody who knew him regarded
him a wonderful child. His parents
sent him to private school at the age
of six and from there to the public
school at eight. Was continued in the
public schools until fifteen, converted
at John Wesley Methodist Episcopal
Church, Baltimore 1877; felt called to
the Ministry the same year and entered
Centenary Biblical Institute, now
Morgan College. Graduated 1881, ad-
mitted on trial in the Washington Con-
ference March. 1882. The subject of
this sketch, believing firmly in a
thorough training for the Christian
Ministery; entered the Theological
Department of Howard University,
Washington, D. c. 1886.
He was elected president of his
graduating class of twelve, and for
Scholarship was selected by the Fac
u.ty valedictorian at the Annual Com
mencement.
The succeeding year he took Post
Graduate with select course IN
sciences and language. He also has
taken a special course in elocution and
oratory under Prof Townsend, Wash
ington, D. c. and Miss Alice M. Youse,
teacher in the College of Expression,
Baltimore. He is regarded by white
and colored one of the finest pulpit and
platform orators of the race.
He is gaining quite a reputation as a
lecturer. His pen is almost in con-
slant use. He served the well-known
Centennial, Baltimore and in two years
raised $40, 900 lifting the long standing
mortgage from the church. He was
regarded while pastor there the organ
OF the colored pulpit. His sermons
were published with considerable
recognition in the Baltimore American
and other dailies. He is the author OF
a Presiding Elders Record, Leaders
and Steward Record, and the Redemp-
ton song in sheet music. He was
elected almost unanimously for four
years Statistical Secretary ofthe Wash
lnRtON SOnitIcuCS. EllS plOhlO1 OiI ao
Presiding Elder, relieving him Of that
responsible position. His missionary
sermon delivered before the Con.
ference March, 1890, was regarded
of excellent merit, and it was unani-
mously ordered to be printed in full in
the minutes. The sermon was the
first in the history of the Conference
thus ordered.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
should be proud of the subject of this
sketch. He is what we, now and then,
have the occasion to call a Round
man."
He is a man of strong piety, an au-
thor, able preacher, orator, editor,
lecturer, poet, able administrator,
6nancier, a man of magnificent parts,
"Do right and fear not" is his motto.
DR.. Hays has been sent to Sharp
Street, Baltimore, Md, who was form
erly pastor of Asbury Church.
Rev. Thomas has been elected dele
gate to the grand Conference, which
will meet in Cleveland, Ohio, May Ist.

There is split in the Mississippi
delegation, Col. james Hill asserts
that he was elected and Hon. John
r. Lynch also states that he carried
the day.
Both men are good republicans
and race representatives both are
for Major Mckinley for President
and quite likely both sets of dele
gates will be admitted to the St.
Louis Convention.
1t was a question of leadership
between these two representatives
which should have been settled with.

THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.

fit were possible to eliminate
the negro from politics it would be
done.
The signs of the times indicate
that he is not wanted in the ranks
Of the great two political parties
What then can he expect from
the republican party, should it come
into power in 1895?
There are great number OF can
didates from whom the st. Louis
Convention will select Preslden-
tial candidate, all Of whom are
making professions and comics
sions."
The BEE is of the opinion that
the negro will get less under the
nert administration, if republl-
can. than he has ever gotten here,
tofore.
The rank and file OF the negro
politician found fault with Mr.. Har
rison, and said that he was inimica
to the negro, but history of political

dents show that MIR. Harrison ap.
pointed more negroes to Office than
