ISAAC SMITHS STATEMENT.

Cravens Sable Representative Puts tn,
Responsibility For the Wilmington
Trouble on the Preachers.
Isaac II. Smith. the colored banker ot
Newbern. who has been elected to rep
resent Craven county in the Legislature
has published 4 statement headed:
'YE GODS"
GENERAL STATEMENTS
1t bears on the Wilmington trouble anf
is Il literary curiosity. 1t gives good ad
vice to his race:
Il have studied for twenty years from
an ingenious. logical and philosophical
standpoint. the appearance of God il
nature, the course pursued. the defer
entail, loving care and respected protec
ton the white men Of the earth give tC
their fair women.
Il have decided that on this line the
white men make their appearance on the
scene as gods.
''Do you know, or has it ever occurred
to ypu, that this is the first lesson fol
Christian, an intelligent, civic citizen
who claims TO represent and reflect the
image of God, to learn?
Then. who ever fell in Wilmington
UNFOLDING pure and an unadulterated
womanhood, fell in the arms of Jesus.
/. 1t is true that the Manly editorial
was slanderous against the women OF
the gods.
,. 1t is equally true that the colored
ministers of Wilmington erred religiOusly
and otherwise when they approved OF
and endorsed the said slanderous edi-
torial.
3. However, it is gratifying to learn
through the press that when the gods
put their government in operation
through and by it. ample and adequate
protection is now being given the men,
women and children of my race.
In the course of things. it is approx
cd of by the law of nature, governing
the stupenduous sun, moon and stars
that had the colOred ministers of Will
mington passed resolutions cOndemning
the slanderous editorial | do not believe
that there would have been cause for the
shedding of one drop of blood. nor a
single life lost in the recent race trouble
in Wilmington, n. c.
This one act on the part of the men
of God would have moulded an entirely
different sentiment hence different
feeling. and therefore a different result.
Il trust this open statement may do
some good in the future.

KANSAS IN THE LEAD.
The Banner State in the Estimate of
this Years Wheat Crop.

Chicago. May 26-Indications are
| that the wheat crop of 1898 Will be the
greatest in the history of the country.
From figures that are being collected
and compiled by some of the big chi
cago firms, based on the reports of ex-
perts in every section of the country.
to exceed $50, 900, 900 bushels. All the
| conditions are reported as being of the
| most favorable nature, and while there
is a decrease in acreage the total yleIo
will be more than double that of 1897.
In the fall of 1896 there was an ex-
traordinary increase in acreage, but the
conditions were such that large share
of the crop was plowed up the Hollow
| ing spring, and at harvest time much
of the remaining crop was not worth
| cutting.
this year. an increase of % per cent in
the acreage having been reported. Els
Inmates on the yield vary all the way
from 100000 to 100,000,000 bushels,
Nebraska and Oklahoma is estimated
at 100, 600 900 bushels. OF this 30,000000
lahoma and Kansas will have 100000
to go 000, 600 bushels.
AS compared with the planting in ILL
nois in the fall of 1896, there has been a
decrease of 16 per cent in the acreage
but in spite of this the conditions in the
Sucker state are about the same as in
Missouri, and the apparent decrease in
acreage is discounted by the amount of
wheat that was plowed up in the spring
of last year. The 1897 crop in Illinois
amounted to a little less than 100000
bushels, whereas it is generally con-
ceded that this years crop will be near
~, if not fully, treble, or between 25,-
600 900 and 80, 900 900 bushels.
Texas will have 20,O00,000 bushel
crop. Never before has the wheat
looked so fine in the Lone Star state as
it does now. The harvest will be I'M
usually early, and agents writing to
their houses here report that great
part of the crop will be harvested and
ready for shipment in June. If any
considera bic amount of wheat comes in
from Texas during June, this, with
what will be received from other south
ern states, will have markedly bear
ish effect on the July wheat market.
Indiana will come to the front with q
crop of $4,000, 900 bushels This is near
ly II, 600, 900 bushels better than last
years crop of 80, 800, 900 bushels, while
the government reports show a de-
crease of 2 per cent in the acreage
planted this year. From Iowa and
Michigan the reports are that the crops
will proba bly, be a little better than
they were last year.
Missouri had a crop last year of A.
600 600 bushels. This year according TO
estimates. it will yield between 25,000,-
600 and 10000 900 bushels.
In addition to this, all of the south
ern states show largely increased acre
age, as do also California and every
one of the eastern states. The aggre-
gate increase in the acreage planted
this year in the country at large as
compared with that of the fall of 1896
is 81 per cent.

MILLIONAIRE JOHNSON OF
CLEVELAND.

Tom Johnson will initiate P II. Bar
mum who wrote a book telling the peo-
pie how he made a fortune off them.
Mr.. johnson will not write book but
he says:
what the world needs is not char
1ty, but justice. I shall refuse the same
as ever to issue checks for charitable
institutions, and I shall not bequeath
money for building churches and libra
ries.
My family shall be well provided for,
but the balance of my wealth shall
serve to teach the people how to pre-
vent me and others of my kind from
robbing them.
LAS long as any person is permitted
by the monopolization of natural re-
sources and private ownership of pub
lie utilities to accumulate wealth that
does not belong to him, just so long will
people of my kind be willing to commit
such theft.
sit is my task to open the eyes of the
people to the process whereby they
foolishly permit themselves to be rob-
bed and to point out to them the way
to abolish a system which enriches me
and impoverishes themselves"

what is honest and what is dishonest.
