Forester Haughes takes issue with
the Advertiser on the suggestion that
people in the Islands get rid of the
japanese beetles by incubation. Mr..
Haughes believes there is danger in
this method from the fact that the
Mexican beetle, sent here by Profess
sor Koebele. may feed on these Japan
csc beetles and die from the effects of
the poison. 1t is probable that Profess
sor Koebele will object to this mode

WRECKED.

A west bound freight train on
the Southern Pacific went into the
ditch Sunday morning near Hal'
wood. Eight cars were smashed
into kindling wood and two tramps
killed. The St. Louis Flyer and
other trains came around over the
Arkansas Pass tracks to this point
where they took the Gonzales tap
and went to Luling. Several freight
trains came this way. The wreck
took place at the same point where
the head end collision occurred a
short time ago, in which five were
killed. This place is known as the
"unlucky stretch on the Southern
Pacific.

The "Colored Contingent.

The Afro American, the official and repre-
sentative organ of the colored voters of Mary
land, in its New Years issue, came out with
plain facts for the Republican man
ayers, who in Kent and every county of the
state, have been using Afro American voters,
in season and out of season, as catspaws with
which to draw political plums from the fire.
The Afro-American says I'm every cam
paign of any moment, for years, the colered
voters in Maryland have had to stand what
no other class of citizens have had to. They
were shot, beaten, and driven from the polls
like dogs. Sometimes they scarcely dared to
attempt to vote Hindrances of every kind
were put in their way at the registration offices,
their names were voted on, and no treatment
was too bad for them to receive. Yet year
after year they stolidly went to the polls and
voted the straight Republican ticket, except
when compelled to vote for some Democrat
placed there by the Republicans. Now, after
many years of toll and struggle, the Repub-
lican party has come into power. and how do
they reward the heroism, the fealty, the devo-
ton, the faithfulnesS of their colored allies,
who stood by them in the face of all the dan
gers they had to undergo? Why, by giving
them few jobs on the dirt heap, and by being
told that colored men appointed to offices OF
profit and trust would lose to the party thou
sands of votes.
''The people who voted to place the Repnb-
licans in power knew of the colored contin-
gent; they knew colored men had all along
voted and worked in the lines of the Repub
lican party and knew they would expect some
reward for their faithful services, and yet they
voted that party into power.
"What are we going to do about it? Are
we going to sit idly by and allow ourselves to
be ostracised and Inundated by the party we
have helped to put in power? Well, we guess
not The colored people of Maryland have
too much manhood for anything like that.
We will teach these Caesars lesson yet. But
before it can be done we must get together
and organize, and thereby place ourselves in
a position to do good and effective work i'll
administering singing rebuke to White-ily-
ism, treachery and deceit, that will not be
soon forgotten by the Republicans of Mary
land. Let US up and at them. No more
dilly-dallying, but straightforward, manly work
for the uplifting of the race from the dirt piles
where the Republicans of this city and state
have consigned it. The Afro American strikes
the trail ! Let every manly negro in Mary
land, from the rocky Businesses of the Allie
games to the sandy shores of Worcester, join
in the chase for equality of manhood. "

More Glass Legislation.


The ADVOCATE last week noted the fact that
persons that we're wounded in the military
and marine service of the United States du-
ring the war of the rebellion, and been honor
ably discharged, were given preference by
law over civilians in public employment, and
the proposition to create another class 1.-THE
bill has passed the Housed by making all
honorably discharged soldiers preferred
class.
And now Representative Gillett, of Massa-
chusetts. has introduced bill, giving another
favor to veterans of the civil war. The bill
provides that any Office in the classified SER
vice held by person who at the time of the
passage of the act is over sixty-two years OF
age shall become vacant in three years. Ev-
ery Office in the service shall hereafter be-
come vacant when the person holding it be-
comes sixty-Gye years Of age. Veterans OF
the civil war and their widows are excepted
from the provisions of the bill. They may
continue in office until they are one hundred
and sixty-f years old, provided they can
attend to business
A good many people are beginning to think
that, if high taxation is to be maintained to
paw pensions to veterans and the veterans are
to fill all the public Offices it would have been
better to have let the Southern States 60

Time Wasted in School.

Under this caption will be found an article
in the ADyocATE today. 1t is summary by
the Baltimore Sun of an article in the Forum
for january. 1t will be found interesting to
those engaged in teaching and in control of
schools.
1t has seemed to us that the modern school
book is entirely too technical and abstruse
The college graduate of thirty years ago would
be puzzled to understand modern grammeI
or arithmetic. Verbs and nouns are SO mul
tipIied that they cannot but be mystifying to
the youthful mind, and much that is found in
the arithmetics is only useful to special lines
of business or professions. 1t might be re-
garded as old fogyism to say so, but it seems
to us that Mitchel's geography, brought up TO
date, Pixies arithmetic and Murray's gram
mer are better suited to educate than the
modern hooks
