been made in Washington that
VanWyck will poll more votes
than all the other candidates COM
bined, which was case of mans
backing his enthusiasm instead of
his judgment. Needless to say he
wasn't professional gambler.
Secretary Gage did not deny the
correctness of the statement pub
iished this week purporting togive
the substance Of the financial re-
commendations of his annual re.
port to merely said that
his report was not complete and
was therefore not subject for
newspaper discussion. The three
features of this statement were the
issue of d per cent gold bonds in
sufficient quantity to refund the
entire bonded debt of the country
and to allow S200,000,000 to be
converted into cash; to establish
an issue and redemption bureau
with which shall be deposited
1926, 100000 in gold, to be used to
redeem paper money, and to make
various changes in the National
banking law, including reduc-
ton of the tax on circulation to a
rate just enough to pay for sup
ervison and the allowance of banks
with $4,000 capital in towns Of
less than 4, 900 inhabitants. These
recommends ions may be made or
they may not be made by Secret
ary Gage, but there isn't the
slightest hesitation in say ing that
they will never be favorably acted
upon during the life Of the pre-
sent congress by that body. Every
time the gold bond Idea has been
before congress it has been sat
upon.

musC the administration get these
votes but it must also get those Of
the gold democrats Cafery,
Gray, Lindsay and Smith-and
then get the bill to vote in the
senate, in order to pass it. And,
as though this outlook was not a
source of sufficient worry to Mr..
Mckinley, Gar Reeds friends are
dropping mysterious hints that
he may not deem it wise to allow
the house to pass any financial
legislation at the coming session
of congress.
With all of it's numerous faults
England never fails to see that the
interests of the humblest English
man are protected in the most re-
mote portion of the world. Know.
ing this, there is much interest felt
in Washington in connection with
what England will do about that
correspondent of a London paper
who starved to death in the streets
of Havana, as result of his having
been robbed of everything he had
including his passport, and being
unable to indentify himself or
communicate with friends at home
and obtain assistance. There are
portions Of this story that seem in
credible, but if an investigation
shows its main points to be true, it
is a good ten to one shot that
England will speedily demand
and get the fullest reparatlon from
Spain.
Gamblers care nothing for men
or political principles in al cleo
ton; they bet their money to win
and the fact that they are gladly
taking all the offers to bet against
the regular democratic candidate,
and even giving odds Of 3 to [ to
tempt bettors, tells it's own story,
and the gamblers are not the only
men who regards the election OF

THE ooLoaEp BROTHER.

Landlord.
The typical negro tenantarrives at q
new home in mule wagon or OK cart
with bundle of rags, frying pan and
covey of children, and he stays with
landlord who may have saved him from
destitution by advancing provisions and
dry goods only 30 long as the caprice Of
the hour dictates. says Mppincott'S.
Land owners who have sunk into fnan-
cial ruin by mortgaging their property
have nearly always been dragged into
the slough by the effort to help their
negroes out 1t. The crop made by the
average negro farmer is subject to many
contingencies besides those Of the
weather. He does not hesitate to leave
his field at the most critical season II
pleasure calls him; big meetings" he
never can resist and these take place
during the important agricultural
months Of July and August, first atone
church and then at another. After the
mules have been working hard all the
week in this busy season they are often
driven ten to fifteen miles on Sundays,
carrying wagonloads Of men, women
and children, long bright ribbons fly
ing out from the heads of the female
members Of the family, whose hair has
been tightly plated and bound with
cords during the week in order to pro-
duce holiday sensation in an ample
psyche-knot at the back and bushel-
lAeroundness in front; they appear In
fancy waists and big sleeves and regale
themselves and their friends with q
dinner of fried chicken, cake and water
melons after the meeting, rags being
good enough to wear, hoe cake and
bacon good enough to eat during the
week. Like his African ancestors, the
American negro is miserable without
Publications and feastings; II he can
have them he will do hard Job Of work
between times.
