PARSON LEAK AGAIN
He Says the Negroes Have Manhood
Enough Left to Vote Against Russell.


Enough Left to Vote Against Russell.
In this weeks National Outlook,
PaEson Leak reiterates his charge that
=4ssasef khas not voted the straight Re
publican ticket since 1888. Among
others, he says:
I'VE know that the henchmen of
Judge Russell will call all who oppose
him Democrats, but we remember
that the bad Republicans of old Penn
sylvania put up bad man for govern
or, and they, the people, turned their
ninety thousand majority and the
Democrats elected their candidate,
Patterson, governor of Pennsylvania.
After that the Republicans were more
careful as to who they put up. Good
men were put up, the people elected
them. The people of Pennsylvania
were Republicans just the same. So
we cannot indorse the corrupt methods
practiced in the last State convention,
and will not support their man. Judge
Russell insulted my sainted mother
when he said that was a natural born
thief, and he insulted every negro that
ever lived or is living to-day or that
may live between now and the judg-
ment of Christ our Savior.
IF there is any manhood in the
race left now is the time to show it.
| may be thief but my wife and
daughters are not thieves.
Il want every woman, daughter and
son of the negro race to answer the
following questions. Please send your
answer to this office on a postal card.
81. Do you indose what Mr. Russell
said about the race?
80. Have you manhood enough not to
vote for Judge Russell?
%. Mothers, daughters, viii you see
to it that your husbands, sons and
brothers will not support Judge Rus
sell, and thereby save the dignity of
the race?
Eve must first respect ourselves, then
others will respect us. An insult has
been offered the race, viii YOU resent
it? We will see"

matte Club.
'The Congressman" in which the
Charlotte Dramatic Club will appear
here on Wednesday night is something
more than a mere rollicking comedy.
1t is. an eNeeedinly clever satire on
certain customs and types of charac-
ter prevalent in our National Capital
and a frame for some very clever bits
of Comedy Character acting.
Besides this the public is given an
excellent caricature of the manner in
which Congressional elections are con-
Quoted in the Woody West and are
introduced to some extremely unique
and original personages. Besides the
Congressman, his lusty and typical
American daughter, there are a hot
tempered Colonel, with choleric ten
dency and a grievance; the familiar
but indispensable member of the Third
House; a private secretary with hope
a good nerve and an incapacity for
strong drink, three tall and veryl brawny
constituents bent on investigation and
blood-shed; "A Captain in the service of
Uncle Sam and in love with the daugh-
ter; a Lieutenant out of keeping with
his surroundings; an appreciatlve
waiter: a foxy orphan; a man with
a kodak; several ladies who who are
pleasant to look at and countless faces

A LEGAL BATTLE ~ ON.
Case that will Attract Attention
the World Over.

Cincinnati, Jan. 26,-A legal fight
which will attract the attention OF
Roman Catholics the world over,
will be instituted this week. Attys.
Stephens, Lincoln and Smith, who
represent this diocese, have been
notified to appear before the County
Auditor to hear an application
made upon behalf of some persons
whose identity is not at present
established, for the placing on the
tax duplicate of all the property IN
this county owned by the Roman
Catholic church and not used as a
place of worship. Auditor Hagerly
will refuse as he did privately some
time ago, and suit in mandamus
will be filed against him in the Su>
preme Court. The property in
question is valued at one million
dollars and an effort will be made to
have it charged for the last six years
on an increased valuation of six
million dollars. The contract for
doing this work was signed late Fri>
day afternoon. The move is said to
have originated with the American
Protective Association.

What are we to believe ? One
dispatch from the Transvaal says,
that Jameson, the freebooter and in.
vader, has leen released from the
Johannesburg prison, and another
says that he is still in Jail, and will
be given taste Of Boer justice at
the proper time. II would appear a
rather strange thing to do to release
this English land~grabber after he
had put the Transvaal government
to the expense of recruiting an army
to hault him in his raid. While his
crime desirves death, and in almost
any civilized country would be pun-
ished with death, yet it is said that
the kind old Beers are going to let
jameson and his freebooters off with
imprisonment, but for how long they
do not say. They ought to be im~
mured for the balance of their natural
lives. They were bent on murder
when arrested, in fact, had engaged
in q murderous battle, in which
several of the Beers were killed, and
their offense is on par with the
crime of murder.

Our Exposed Lake Front.

Columbus, O., Jan. 24.-Captain
James NJ. Burns, of the seventeenth
United States Infantry, in a paper
read before the lyceum of the officers
OF his regiment, points out the forces
which England would be able to
marshal upon short notice along the
lakes. He says Chicago or Cleve-
land would be the first place assaults
ed. The seizure of Chicago would
cut of northwestern flour, grain and
meat from the East.
The capture Of Cleveland would
be followed by an effort to cut rail
communication between the East
and West, at Columbus, Chilllcothe
and Portsmouth, which would block
ade everything from the west, includ-
ing freight for the Chesapeake &
Ohio, Captain Burns says the cap>
ture of Columbus would be OF more
Importance to British army than
the capture of any port south of
Fortress Monroe, and argues for
better lake defenses.
One suggestion is canal 100 feet
wide at the bottom and twenty feet
deep across the State of New York
to use for commerce in time of peace
and to admit our smaller naval yes
sells to the lakes in time of war.
