THE CHICAGO SPECTACLE.

Alradey it is observed that indi-
vidual retrenchment, the with
drawal Of capital from the avenues
of trade and manufactures, the
contraction of the circulating me-
dunn snd the haste to Cypress deb
tors, have followed in the wake of
the silver movement. Chicago has
presented the ridiculous spectacle
of debating to the world, the me-
dunn through which the exchange
of the worlds business and how it
shall be conducted and at at a time
when this country is over-shadowed
by balance of trade against it
and when it is burdened by an
enormous debt incurred through
lack of foresight, economy and
proper legislation. There is no
telling when American isms
will end. Commanding no foreign
market and furnishing a dumping
ground for the products of pauper
.ab6r of the other Powers, it seems
hat to get even or at least to have
ome market to exploit in, we have
'pened a bazaar for the exhibition
f demagoguery and quack states
1anship. The outcome of the
liver movement will be, if success

OUR NATIONAL JUBILEE.

The Fourth of July is a Nat
ional Day of freedom, is ind;spu-
tably righteous and Divinely dedi-
Gated for the happiness of mankind.
Just 12O years from last Satur-
day, the Convention of the Thirteen
Colonies declared themselves then,
on behalf of us now, into free and
Independent states, with a popula-
ton of about 100000, present At
ro-American element of the Amer
lean Nation.
That eventually historical date,
was, I56 years from the beginning OF
our race in this country, from AT
rica, to the number of nineteen
slaves, at Jamestown, Va, in 1920.
Since that time to 1916, when
| the Missouri compromise was de-
clared; slavery was planted, suf-
fered and died in every State of the
American Union, except Vermont.
1t exposed our virtues, debauched
our Nation and amalgamated our
races.
Its degradation of US as a race,
which f rmed an ever-existing opin-
ion that is inimical to our racial
equality, also so amalgatmated the
races that no form of legislation can
separate US geographically or So
cially.
Our National vicissitudes have so
unified all good men and great
measures, that this day, which was
once a racial course to us, has now
become a National blessing. There
fore, let US, who once mourned, now
rejoice, and who since fought to
make this country great, low help
to make it good.
Let US say no longer that this is
the white mans day and govern
ment when God gave it to all Am
erican inhabitants, irrespective of
race or color.
Let US remember what is recog-
nized, that all men are created
equal, and as such have equal rights
and Obligations.
But to demand these, we must |
accept what is conceded, equal
tights and immunities.
Men, women and children, |
Churches and Sunday Schools, So
,ial, civil, political and secret or
yanizations all joined in and sing, |
my Country tits of Thee /; Sweet
Land of Liberty {; of Thee l sing.
Land wherer my father died ; Land
If the Pilgrim pride +; From every
side, Let freedom ring"
Let us dedicate ourselves, 1st.
anto Almighty God. 2nd. The
equality of our race with all citi-
zens and nations of mankind, 3rd.
To our homes, 4th. To the equal |
of our States and Terri |
tories, and 9Th to our political par |
lies.
Let the Pulpit, Press and school
house consent to unite.

RANDOLPH MURDERED.

As The BEE predicted a few
weeks ago, the lynching of Cooking
would soon be followed by the
lynching of Randolph, the Afro
American who was charged with
the killing of the Buxton little
girl and assault upon the members
of his family. The prediction OF
The BEE has been verified and
the proud State of Maryland,
within thirty days, had two black
spots indelibly stamped against her
fair name which will be handed
down to posterity as the blacklist
and the most outrageous in the
annals of crimes. Randolph who
was so cowardly murdered by the
mob of Maryland is enough to
excite Afro-Americans to do vio-
lence. What can the proud Cau-
cassion race expect? Are we to be
murdered and bGtchered with i'm
punity? without due process of
law? we have more faith and conf
dence in the declaration of detec-
tives Horn and Weeden of this city
than we have in the manufactured
evidence of the cowardly assassins
of Randolph who never committed
the offence charged against him.
A crime of such magnitude, COM
mitted so near the Capital of this
great and civilized republic is
enough to shock the Nation and
Put a quietus upon all similar
offenses committed in the South,
where Afro-Americans are butch
cred upon the most flimsy pretext.
The Governor of Maryland has
acted and will bring the guilty
parties to justice, not only in the
Randolph case, but in the Cocki g
case. Would it not be well for the
good white {? citizens of Gathers
burg, Nd, to investigate Buxton ?
fears that he will now be
lynched. Why should such fear
disturb the mind of Buxton if he
is Innocent?
The Afro-Americans are told that |
they are brutes, but their british
propensities can be better told by
their everlasting gratitude and love
for the masters, during the long
and bloody war of the rebellion.
Are these bloody outrages to be
continued? VIII not the proud
Caucasian who controls the des-
tines of this Republic, throw his
protecting arm around this out
ragged people?
Shall the Afro-Amer1can be for
ced to appeal to arms? Since we
must die, let it be in noble and |
honorable BATTLE" in defense of |
human liberty and the protection
of our life and property.

Payson fuckers Removal.

The removal of Pavson Tucker from
the management of the Maine Cen
trail railroad was surprise to the peo-
pile of Maine.
Mr. Tucker is man of large bust
ness capacity, and is popular through
out the State During his long con-
nection with the Maine Central he
has done much toward building it up,
and in promoting the business inter
ests of the State, with which he was
ever in touch.
The cause of Mr.. fuckers removal
has not been officially announced, yet
we find many papers of the State in
clined to take up the cudgels in his
behalf With the sentiments eX-
pressed by these papers THE AMERI-
CAN does not agree. While the re-
moval of Mr. Tucker may be person
ally regretted. we see no reason why
the motives which actuated the d.
rectors should be questioned. The
directors are in better position than
the public to Judge what shall be for
the best interests of the road. the in
terests of which are so closely linked
with those of Maine.
Mr.. fuckers successor. Mr.. Evans,
is an experienced railroad man. May
his management of the Maine Central
be as successful and mark as rapid an
improvement in the road and as great
an advance in the development of the
State as has that of his predecessor.

not decrease of business. Disappoint-
ment is observed in the iron and steel
/ industry, because various combina-
tions have been and are still retarding
orders by prices which buyers believe
cannot be maintained, and the same
is true in boots and shoes, and in a
few branches of textile goods.
But business is on the whole en-
larging, and the employment of many
more hands will extend purchasing
power. The settlement of the window
glass controversy, starting many
thousand hands, and the collapse of
some important iron combinations
with the same effect, give promise of
more business. Broadly speaking, the
gain has been greater than anybody
expected, and it is not surprising if a
small part of it is in excess of the
present consuming demand.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
try show clearly the enlargement of
trade, not at all points in the same
branches, but everywhere helped by a
more confident feeling. Monetary
difficulties have vanished as if by
magic, and banks with an uncomfort-
ably large supply of idle money are
hunting borrowers, as the borrowers
were recently hunting lenders. Enor-
nous gains in bank deposits, s37 ,000,-
600 in two weeks, indicate something
of the amount of funds recently
boarded.

The event of the evening was the appearance
for the first time in Gardiner, of Maine'- prom.
J Using soprano Miss Mabel Monaghan, Of Els
worth Although much has been written about
this fair young singer it is safe to say that
Gardiner people were scarcely prepared to hear
voice of such rare qualities. 1t was not loud,
but pure and sweet, absolutely true 10 the key,
and. above all, brim full of expression.
Her first number was The Song of the Page
from Meyerbeer's Les Huguenot." a difficult
aria, but well adapted to snow the range, quail
ity and neNibiiity of the voice. Although a pre-
tentious selection for young singer it was
marvelou-ly well executed, and at the close the
applause was overwhelming. She responded to
the Voci erous recall with ballad.
Miss Monaghan's other selections were
Gounod's Sing, Smile. Slumber'', and Miss
Chamberlains, Love Is all In both pieces
the peculiar charm of her voice-its spmpa
thetic quality--was exhibited to good advan.
tage and that it was appr, ciated was demon.
strated by the applause which followed each
selection.
Al no time did Miss Monaghan exhibit the
power which she is said to possess she IS still
pupil, and is not permitted to attempt what is
at present beyond her, or what will endanger
her vocal organs. But If what she can now do
Is any guarantee of what she Is TO become
