This scientist made n journey to Java

Pythccanthropus Erectus - that il to

Many Lives.
On the little island Of Usticn. 40 miles
from Palermo, Italy. there died the
other day a man who was for years the
terror of the people Of Naples and the
kingdom Of the Two Sicilies, says the
New York Tribune. He was Gaetano
Impcllizzeri, once the hcndsman under
Ferdinand III. Of Naples. The useless
executions attributed to Impcllizzeri
are countless and. with the cruelty he
showed. led TO his denunclation by Mr..
Gladstone 40years ago IN the phil:ppics
which the statesman directed against
Ferdinand.
The executions were only in part
public; It was the executions in secret
usually a night-which gave the man
his power. IL was he who executed In
San Francisco place, Naples, the Gala
brian Agistilas Milanoque, who on De-
ccmber o. 1886, made bayonet thrust
NJ King Ferdinand II, and patriots In
Vulnerable became it's victims.
When Garibaldi entered Naples In
September. 1860, the excited populacc
went in search Of the hated headsmnn,
but he cared much for his own lifes
although he thought little OF that OF
others, and escaped with his wife.
Later he wns imprisoned on the island
Of Usticn. where he became an officer
of the fort built In those days TO pro-
tcct the island against pirates. He
was in receipt Of pension of FIVE dol
lars a month--much more than he de-
served. He was 81 years old at the time
OF his denfh.

There is an attempt being made
to organize an A. P. A. lodge
among the Afro Americans of this
city. The BYsTANDER has often
expressed its opinion on this sub.
iect, and the observation Of the
past few years has not changed
it's opinion. Look at what it is
doing in other cities and states!
Cities are made the scenes of riot
and bloodshed. Men and neigh
bors become better enemies. The
cause Of good government is re
tarded. 1t has not improved a
single community. All men should
be allowed to exercise their own
religious opinions. If he desires
to be Methodist, Baptist, Catho-
lie, Buddhist, a worshipper OF
craven images and idols or a fol
lower of the Immaculate Confucius
none of these opinions should
debar him from the full exercises
Of the rights of an American citi-
zen, so long as he is capable, hon
est and intelligent. This order is
simply SKnow Nothingism," in
another and more violent form.
The Afro American hes had many
sad lessons in the past, and he
should look well to the future. He
has enough to contend with at
present and should not burden
himself with alliances that will
surely bring upon him the displeas-
ure Of those who can be made
friends and aids in any good cause.

Where was Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Da-

elected. But, Mr.. Editor, the
ballot from the press don't show
that either Mr.. Smith or Foster
was elected. Both are worthy
gentlemen-and Mr.. Taylor, re-
gardless of his politics, was the
cause Of Mr.. Foster getting before
the people. OF this we have no
objections, but it shows that the
white republicans Of Iowa are very
weak. Mr.. Taylor don't claim to

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
Maj. VIM. ckinley, the Youth,
the Man, the Soldier, the
Statesman-the Great
American.
Baltimore Standard.

First, because as a youth ht
donned the blue, took a mus ket
and went to the front where he
fought not more for the preserva
ton of the union than for the
liberties of the slave.
Secondly, as statesman he has
at all times on the floor OF con
gress and elsewhere stood man
fully for the rights of the Afro
Americans.
In 1890 he opposed the repeal
of the federal election law again:
and in concluding a masterful
speech in opposition thereto, he
used these words: "The question
will not rest until justice is done
and the conscience of the Ameri-
can people will not be permitted
to slumber until this great consti-
tutional right-the equality Of suf-
frage, the equality Of opportunity,
freedom Of political action and
political thought shall be living
birthright which the poorest and
humblest citizen, white or black,
native born or naturalized, may
confidently enjoy, and which the
richest and most powerful dare not
deny"
He has fraternized with the
great A. NJ E. Bishop Payne in
the Wilberforce University and
accepted the degree Of L. L. d.,
conferred upon him by that famous
institution Of learning.
When Mr.. Green was refused
accommodation at the Gibson
House in Cincinnati in 1891 on
account Of his color, Major Nc
Kinley who had been directed to
that hotel, changed his course 9~a
went to the Burnett House, I,
made no distinction to citizens on
account of color.
While governor of Ohio, Nc
Kinley permitted no distinction
at public receptions on account of
color-and he is certainly the man
that the colored republicans should
support for the presidency.
