THE NEEDS OF THE NEGRO.
A University Graduate OF the Race

A University Graduate OF the Race
Pithily Defines Them.
The power of the ballot" says Mr.
w. 3. B. Du Bots, himself negro, and
recent Harvard graduate, eve need
IN sheer defense and as guarantee Of
good faith. We may misuse it, but we
can scarce do worse in this respect
than our whilom masters. Freedom,
too, the long sought, we still seek-the
freedom of life and limb, the freedom
to work and think. Work, culture and
llberty-all these we need, not singly,
but together; for to-day these ideals
among the negro people are gradually
coalescing and finding higher mean
ing in the unifying ideal of race-the
ideal Of fostering the traits and tai
ents OF the negro, not in opposition to,
but in conformity with the greater
ideals of the American republic, in or
der that some day on American soil,
two world races may give each to each
those characteristics which both so
sadly lack. Already we come not al
together empty-handed; there is to-
day no true American music but the
sweet, wild melodies of the negro
slave; the American fairy tales are In
dian and African; we are the sole oasis
of simple faith and reverence in a dus-
ty desert of dollars and smartness.
Will America be poorer if she replace
her brutal, dyspeptic laundering with
the nght-hearted but determined ne
gro humility; or her coarse, cruel wit.
with loving, jovial good humor; or her
Annie Rooney with Steal Away?'
Simply stern concrete test of the
underlying principles of the great re-
public is the negro problem, and the
spiritual striving of the freedmen's
sons is the travail of souls whose bur-
den is almost beyond the measure Of
their strength, but who bear it in the
name of an historic race, in the name
of this the land of their fathers ia
theirs, and in the name of human op-
| portunity."

A Remarkable Old Pravor

The following prayer, '*set forth bv

about 1850, or say three and hale
centuries ago-is still fitted to ono ~
the sore needs of this troubled wor)d
Substitute for them that possess Tho

Holy Spirit into the hearts of them
that possess the pastures and grounds
of the earth, that they, ramembering
themselves to be Thy tenants, may not
rack or stretch out the rents of their
houses or lands, nor yet take unrea-
sonable fines or moneys after the man

trial was held in a crowded saloon,

his facts, and he boldly charged jury

Jonathan Field, who was president of

One of the sisters of Justice Field

wife to Smyrna. Greece had Just

was In 1889, when an at
tempt was made on his life
by Judge David S. Terry and his wife
Judge Terry was counsel for Sarah
Althea Hill, who claimed to be the
wife Of Senator Sharon, and sought
to establish a claim to his millions
by means OF divorce. Field and Ter
ry had known each other in the West.
During the divorce proceedings the
Hill woman had married judge Terry.
The case was carried up, and finally
came before Justice Field He deliv-
cred a decision adverse to Mrs. Hill,
and Judge Terry arose in court and de-
nounced the judge. He attempted to
assault him, as did also his wife, but
they were overpowered and disarmed
The judge had a dirk and his wife a
revolver. He sentenced Terry to three
months in jail and Mrs. Hill to one
month.
When he came out of jail Judge Ter
ry again threatened to take the life
Of Justice Field. When Justice Field
visited California Deputy Marshal Ma
gle was ordered to travel with the
judge and protect him. At the waiting
station at Lathrop Judge Terry as
saulted Justice Field, and Nagle shot
him dead. Terry's wife then rushed
in with a pistol, and had to be dis
armed.

coin in 1863.
An attempt was made to
assassinate Judge Field by
means of an Internal machine
in 1866. A torpedo was sent
through the mail to him in a
miniature case. The judge
partly opened it and then, his
suspicious being aroused, he
placed it in a pail of water
and had it examined at the
Washington arsenal. It con-
tanned enough explosive to
kill a dozen men, and had ev-
identity been sent to him by
certain squatters who had
been dispossessed in the Pu-
eblO cases in which the judge
rendered the decision. ~.

Unlawful Elk Killing.

Evanston Register: Last week JUS
tice of the Peace Nowlin called couple
OF residents to act as special deputy
constables and make a roundup of
some Idaho people who were unlaw-
fully killing elk. Three persons were
arrested, named Allen; they had killed
three head of elk. Justice Nowlin held
his court and they all plead guilty,
and were sentenced to so days in the
county jail. Sentence was suspended
for "A hours and they made tracks for
home. Mr.. Nowlin made diligent in
quiry into these peoples condition, and
they appeared to be in an abject state
of poverty. They were told however,
that if they, or any of their people,
were ever apprehended killing game in
this locality they need expect nothing
less than the full penalty of the law.
We trust this warning is all-sufficient
and those people of Idaho who are en-
couraging this war of determination
against Jackson Hole game will also
take notice and act and govern them
selves accordingly

Maggie Travels.

Little Maggie Mercer is the subject
of a great deal of newspaper writing
nowadays. Naturally sympathy in
clines at first to the mother u the case
but amongst those who know Mercer
and know the findings of the court
which took the child from the mother,
there is a different feeling. The little
girl remembers and talks freely of her
travels but says she did not like them
and made them much against her will
She tells OF how she was taken from
the street by her mother-whom, by
the way, she never calls mother-and
taken to the dressmaker's to get a
dress made at the order of mama, -
MI MERGERS present wife. She says
she was taken to the house of a man
who was called Bates and some men
talked for a long time about her being
sent away. She remembers the differ
ent cities, Grand Junction, Colorado
Springs, St. Paul. Winnipeg, Medicine
Hat, Victoria and Vancouver through
which she passed.
The assertions of those who think
the mother better adapted to care for
the girl than the father, seem not to
be borne out by facts. When found
the little one had on the same under
clothing which she wore when she
was taken bv Mrs. Mercer. She said
she had not had her clothes changed
or been bathed in the entire nine weeks
and two days of her absence. The
condition of her clothing confirms her
statement thoroughly. Yesterday she
was as happy as a lark and chatted
merrily about her home subjects but
disliked to talk of her trip.
