Washington, D. G.. October -.
To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir:-The National Republican Pro-
tective Association, colOred political
organization, with headquarters in this
city, and of which James w. Poe, an
ex-member OF the North Carolina
Legislature, is president, with w. H.
johnson and ]. NJ Lee as secretaries,
has declared war on Congressman
Dayton, of the Second West Virginia
district. Mr. Poe, who is an able,
logical and influential speaker, and who
stumped in the interest of Dayton
against Wilson in 1894, will soon be in
the State stumping against Dayton's
reelection to Congress. Poe is a
strong Republican, but is very indie
pendent in the expression OF his views.
He is Incorporating in criticising
any shortcomings in his own party.
1t is understood he will issue a circular
against Dayton in the form OF ad-
dress to the colored voters of that dis
trict, which will severely criticise Mr..
Dayton, and which will declare among
other things that Wilson, while in Con-
gress, secured more appointments for
colored persons than Dayton, during
his two terms in Congress.
1t will cite that while the loyalty
of the colored voters of West Virginia
gave to the Republican party a Cover
nor, United States Senator, and solid
delegation in the lower branch OF Con-
gress, that the colored people OF the
State have not received one decent ap-
pointment at the hands of the admin
istration, and that j. r. Clifford, who
publishes a widely read newspaper in
the State, has been pushed to the wall
and ignored by the party. 1t viii de-
clare that the colored voters will
stultify the manhood of the race if
they vote for the reelection OF Dayton,
who will not recognize colored per-
sons who voted for him, when they
seek job under the government.
1t will term Dayton as member of
Congress, to be "a great absentee, ;"
who spends more time at home prac-
ticing law than he does on the sittings
of Congress. 1t Will declare that Day
ton seeks only the honor and salary OF
the Office and cares for nothing else,
and that his only colored appointee is

ALSO OPPOSES ROOSEVELT.
The following, from the Washington
STAR indicates the activity of these
indignant eolored Republicans:
THE Executive Committee OF the
National Republican Protective Asso-
citation held important meeting yes
terday at 315 Seventh street, southeast.
James W. Poe, president of the associa-
ton, presided. The candidacy of Col.
Roosevelt for Governor of New York,
was opposed after some debate, it
being held that Roosevelt did not
speak out in praise of the bravery and
daring of the gallant Tenth Cavalry,
which aided the Roosevelt Rough Rid
ers at San Juan.
ga resolution was adopted declaring
that if Col Roosevelt was false to the
coored soldier, he would not be true
to an Afro-American constituency as
Governor of New York. 1t was also
decided to oppose the reelection OF
Congressman Dayton, from the Second
West Virginia. 1t was decided to send
a canvasser to New York to oppose
Col. Roosevelt"

He approached me with a hungry look, that

His appetite was satisfied. the wrinkles TAX

Then he told me all his trou oles but he never
spoke of govt.
He spoke about his travels and the fellows
that he met,
Then mentioned old Las Vegas and the
meals he didn't get.
He Drilled into Albuquerque on cold and
stormy night;
There the switchmen all insulted him; they
didn't treat bin right.

But he had no time to tarry-work was wait

A Narrow Escape.

Yesterday morning was an uncom-
fortably cold one and those who were
compelled to be out were making as
much haste ss.possible. Geo. Stead who
manipulates the throttle on the G. b.
switcheu9ine No. 767, was hurrying to
the rouudhNuse to take charge OF his
engine. On the way the night switch
engine caught up with him and he
thought it would be good
idea to ride to the shops. He grabbed
the handles as he had on numerous
other occasions, but somehow or other
he slipped and went under the engine.
AS it has been explained, he went I'M
der the ash pan and was in this posi-
tion when discovered by the engineer.
When Mr.. Stead fell he screamed but
the man in charge of the engine
thought it was one Of the switchmen
giving signals. In looking around to
fnd the switchmsn, however, he dis
covered Mr.. Stead under the ash pan.
The engine was stopped in short order
and the engineer removed from his
perilous position. He was not injured
TO any great extent but was very badly
scared and WAS compelled to go home.
Engineer Geddis was called to fill Mr..
Stead's place on the 767 until such
time as he Is able to return to work.

DEAD MAN IN THE WELL.

How n CoIored Trooper Knew He
Had Killed His Man Mt Santiago.
Very few soldiers are sure that they
have ever killed a man in battle. They
all think they have-at least those who
have been through engasements-but
rarely are they able to point to a specific
case where they know positively that
their bullet put one Of the enemy out of
the fighting business forever. There is
colored soldier in the Tenth regular
cavalry who can do this, however. 1t
was during the first days of the truce
after the ridge of San Juan had been
captured and our men were lying in the
trenches waiting for the Spaniards to
decide whether they had been sufficient
ly we'll beaten. One fine morning when
the white flags were waving from the
opposing trenches, a number of the
rough riders went over to an old we'll
which lay just beneath the crown OF
the hill and began drawing water from
it for drinking purposes. Water thus
obtained saved long tramp to the crock
in the plain below, and toting oanteens
I'D that hill those hot days was no joke

The Popular Mr.. Thorne.

A Fort Worth special says: Prof.
Alex Hogg, who conducts the Texas
and Pacific Quarterly, paper devoted
to the interests of that road,
said to The Post representative
that every body connected with
the Texas and Pacific puts implicit
confidence in what General Manager
and First Vice President Thorne says.
Hence when he said that the company
would expend as much as 800, 900 in
improvements in Fort Worth. they
knew he meant what he said. "That
the new independents station house,
freight depot, tifty-stall round house,
from fifteen to twenty-five miles of
additional yard t-ackage, etc., will be
built, is assured" said the professor.
He says that the humblest employe of
the Texas aud Pacific has the greatest
confidence in Manager Thorne. He is
always doing some deed of kindness
for those who are under him. Recent
ly Mr.. Thorne increased the salaries of
all the through conductors on the line,
east and west, without such action
having been asSed of him. The con-
ductors were receiving 800 per month
but Mr.. Thorre added S25 to their sal
aries q short time since. Prof. Hogg
says that in his opinion there is no
more popular railroad manager in the
country than Mr.. Thorne.

NEW BACHELOR CLUB.

Institution to Discourage Matrf-
mony, with Financial Penalties.
What are Boston girls Of marriage
able age to do to meet a new foe which
has arisen to lessen their matrimonial
chances? The other evening a congenial
party of young men met for the avowed
purpose of banding together as a Club
of Twelve, to encourage bachelorhood,
or. more properly, to discourage any one
of them turning Benedict. It is proposed
to dine annually as long as the men
hold together, and should one of them
be married he must give a farewell din
ner costing not less than $40 a plate
and as much more than that as he cares
to afford to all the other mem bers and
must also pay into the general treasury
for the accumulation of club fund the
sum of $500 as a slight "forfeit'' for
his treason to the cause in taking unto
himself a wife. Eventually, if all but
one member became married, the re-
manning bachelor would pocket the con-
tributions of the Others amounting to
SIS, 500 and interest accruing from time
to time, besides which he would mean
while enjoy many excellent dinners.
This new club will keep its identity
rather quiet, for the members are many
of them extremely popular in society,
and it is possible that were their scheme
known they might be a bit less cordial
ly received here and there. When it is
realized that it is now November and
only few weeks have interviewed since
the midsummer flirtations, the Club of
Twelve must represent some very hard
cases of disappointment in love. Either
man has gone intclerably selfish, or he
has been Tilted by the sweetest of girls,
to thus organize against the blessed
state of matrimony; but, on the whole,
$500 for changing a mans mind is not
so very dear. Should he tumble heels
over head in love, would he not gladly
pay that forfeit and more, too, for the
sake of the woman he could not live
without; Go to, Club of Twelvel Marry

The we'll had just been seized upon with
great eagerness and the men were threat
ening to drain it when a black cavalry
man strobe over and began to expostu-
late.
"Don't tech that water l' he shouted.
"They's a dead man in the we'll !"
"Oh, what's the matter with your"
answered one of the whites. "How do
you know there's dead man in it?''
"'Cause I put i'm there"
"Who is it?''
81 don't know-some Spaniard.'
"Did you throw him in?"
"Nope. He jest fell in. 1t was the
day we chased 'em out I see this man
lookin down the we'll when we was
way over yonder." And he pointed to
the hill whereon stood the little farm
house which had been captured by
the cavalry brigade prior to the taking
of San Juan ridge. 81 see this man
lookin down the well" went on the
black trooper, land drawed on i'm.

fust. You better not drink that water.
That's all got t. say. They's sure a
dead Spaniard down ther.'
The rough riders were bit inored-
ulous, but they thought it best not to
take any chances, so they rugged up a
graphing hook and went fishing for
the body. Sure enough, after ten min
utes' work, they dragged up the dead
body of Spanish soldier shot through
the head. The negro's aim had been as
true as his story. After that the well
was filled up and the boys lugged their
canteens to the creek.-New York Sun.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you
cannot get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.

The gold bug press is claiming that
the state convention of New Jersey
declared against the Chicago platform
This is nevidence that they are afraid
to let the people known the truth.
New Jersey nominated for governor a
man who voted for every line of the
Chicago platform and its candidate,
and the platform endorsed the position
of the democratic party on all national
issues. Every candidate nominated
for congress in the state stands on
the Chicago platform, and they are
the strongest kind of silver men. If
the goldites can get any comfort out
of falsifying facts they should be
permitted to indulge in the harmless
diversion.
