SERENITY IN The RACE.

If we are to Judge from the
serenity which prevails in the race
it seems that we can now congrat-
ulate ourselves that the erstwhile
leaders have either been sent to the
guard house or have concluded to
step back into their proper places
in the ranks, along with other
common folks.
If this is due to the deliberate
choice of the aforesaid leader, it
indicates that the element of mod
esty is still in the land and the
outlook is hopeful. 1t may be,
however, that our leaders are only
Kidding since the harvest is over
and there will be nothing to occupy
their time and talents until another
crop of political plums is ready. In
the mean time the rank and file
will plod along, take an interest in
the race and pay particular atten-
ton to thei, own business.
If our leaders so-called had not
concluded to hide from public
gaze that they might now be able
to suggest something which would
ameliorate race condition and do
much to cause the government,
while in the commendable act of
doing the humanity act in foreign
lands, to apply the same policy to
the colored people in this country.
Bnt the leaders are not with us
and we must jog long without
them and manage to paddle our
own canoe hopefully and persist
emily. There is no complaint on
our part on account of the absence
of leaders and trust that we way
enjoy the same complaisant condi-
ton for some years to come.

CUBAN PATRIOTS.

The slur- cast by Major Urell, Of
the District regiment, upon the
Cuban patriots is one which was
no credit to an officer who is
supposed to be a gentleman and to
know something about the facts.
In referring to the insurgents he
very kindly says that he ''would
not give one Virginia 'nigger' for
a score of Them" Some might
suppose that the major intended to
imply that the Virginia niger"
was quite remarkable person.
but as q matter of fact, that ''nig-
ger" was referred to as the lowest
order of homo in this country and
as a standard by which to compare
the Cubans. In this usjust char
acterization of the Cubans, the
major differs from such eminent
men as Senator Proctor and Hon.
Amos Cummings, who after an
extended tour of the island with
the view of obtaining the facts
came back to this country and
stated that the Cuban patriots are
brave men and Justly entitled to
the consideration of all enlighten-
ed people. Maj. Urell is doubtless
catering to mean, despicable and
non-progressive sentiment of this

THE COLORED ATTORNEY.

1t is to be regretted that we still
have around our courts colored at
torneys who seem to ferget
themselves some times and lose all
their self-respect and senses. The
legal profession should be elevated
and colored lawyers should do all
in their power to show to the court
that they have respect for them
selnes as well as for the court. 1t
frequently occurs that some color
ed attorneys make asses and
monkies of themselves, not only
to the disgust of the court, but to
the many hundred intelligent
spectators that frequent our courts.
There was most ridiculous
scene in the court one day this
week, but on account of the very
good nature and fairness of the
judge the offending party was not
sent to jail, nor was he compelled
to pay fine. He apologized for
his actions the next day. These
are some Of the causes that bar
the colored attorney from being
admitted to the bar association.

HIS PREDICTIONS vERRIFIED.-NEw
PRoPHESIES BY THE PROPHET.
Rev. A. Jones, the prophet, whose
predictions have all come true, is in
the city. He is one of the most re-
markable men in the world, who sees
things In dreams and visions. All of his
prediction have come true. He now
predicts the destruction of one portion
of Washington city He also saws
that after the United States ends the
war with Spain there will be a greater
war in which thousands will be killed
on both sides. Then he says the ne
gro will come IN for his share of rec
ognition. 1t will not be mans war,
but one ordered by God. The cause
of it will be the people have
departed from the laws of God and
the works of righteousness. Except the
people repent of their sins there will
be great famine in the United States
for the want of bread and water.
The end of these troubles will not
terminate until 1881, at which time the
colored man wAl have his rights. He

chapter and 9Th verse. For the same
plaques that destroyed the ancient
cities will destroy our cities.
Rev. Jones has been preaching in
the city all the week at the Virginia
Avenue Baptist church, large crowds
went to hear him.
1t will be remembered that Rev.
Jones. predicted great storm for this
city in July 'e6 and it came within two
months to the very night.
He also predicted the war between
the United States and Spaih while in
Indianapolis, Ind, on June IA, 1897.
He went to Johnstown and told the
people they would be DESTROYED. He
went TO Atlantic City and told them
they would have flood. He came to
New York and told them they would
have war with some foreign country,
and so it is.

in one whose color is not white.
All the same, the Cubans are more
loyal to their trust than was
the major who swore to defend the
rights of the Cubans against the
tyranny of the Spaniards and who
repudiates his stripes by malicious
misrepresentation. MajorUurell is
characterlzing the white Cuban
people as low, because In his ex-
perience he has been able to observe
no further than the half-starved
uredueated campfollower.

OUR TEACHERS.

1t is a hopeful sign to see so
many of our school teachers at
tending summer schoolssand instl-
tutes during their vacation. Hlth-
erto it has been the custom for the
teachers to 60 to some fashionable
resort, there to squander their
means and weaken their constltu-
tions in quest of empty pleasure,
to return to school work in a very
much worse condition than when
they left their schools. We con
gratulate the teachers and hope
that their example will be emulated
and initiated by others. 1t may
not be amiss for them to so i'm
prove their time as it has been
limited that the standard OF the
teacher must be raised and those
who cannot come up to it will in
all probability; be dropped at the
end of next year. The present
board of trustees act as though they
mean to make the schools what
they ought to be, even if it costs
the heads of many teachers who are
not doing what they should toward
advancing the cause of education.
The schools are for the people and
not the teacher and the interests of
the pupils and patrons must be

THE FIGHT IN THE 9TH CoNGRESSIoN-
AL DISTRICT THE OUTLOOK BRIGHT
FOR HIS RETURN. ~
This week has been a busy one
among the republicans of the 9th Con-
gressional District Of Maryland. The
fight between Capt. John NJ. Nc
Donald and Hon. Ashly M. Gould has
been wageing hot.
The friends of capt. Mcdonald are
conhden that he will win, while the
friends of Mr.. Gould are equally as
confident.
The fight against Mr.. Could is on
account of speech he delivered in
1895 in which he is charged with hav-
ing said: "rhe republican party is
net beholding to the colored race for
their votes and would be better off
without the negro, as a great many
young democrats would come over to
the republican party if it were not
considered the negro party"
Mr.. Gould has been endeavoring to
explain this away, but a ma ajority of
the colored men are of the opinion
that he did say it.
Rev. DR.. Fitzhugh, Charles Alexan-
der and Editor w. Calvin Chase have
been canvassing the district in the in
terest of Capt. Mcdonald.
Big meetings have been held all the
week. On Monday night Messr :.
Chase, Alexander and Fitzhugh I'd
dressed the republicans at Glen Echo,
Md, Tuesday nigh there was joint
debate at Gaithersburg, Md, in which
Messrs. Chase, Alexander and Irby
spoke. Wednesday night Mr.. Chase

Vile. Thursday night there was an
exciting time at Colesville, Messrs.

HAMPTON CONFERENCE.

The report OF the conference
which met at Hampton, Va, last
week is one which should be care
fully considered. And the fact that
the meeting was comparatively IN
formal shows that the interest con-
cerning anfavorable moral, social
material conditions of the race is
growing. There were several inter-
esting and valuable documents
contributed, but perhaps the most
important was that presented by
DR.. F. j. Shadd. of our city, on
the subject of "Vital Statistics" a"
There has been a notion among
our people that the race was rapid.
lv increasing and that the repre-
sentations of statisticians on the
subject were enormous and based
in a desire to intensity the feeling
against the race. But DIR. Shadd
showed conclusively that the vital
ity and fecundity Of the race are
fast deteriorating and that unless
drastric measues of moral
and sanitary character are soon
applied the existence of the color
ed race will be short lived. A most
interesting feature of the doctor s
paper was the statement that the
colored people are practically i'm
muned from such contagious as,
diphtheria and typhoid fever.
This phase of the situation pre-
sents a very hopeful sign and shows
that the principal matter to be
looked after is our sanitary sur
roundings. From what he says,
by temperance and cleanliness we
can even avoid evil consequences
hereditary taint of consumption
which is pretty generally distri-
buted among the race. The mat
ter of cleanliness is an easy matter
of adjustment. Moreover unclean-
illness is not a characteristic Of our
people. We are people more clean
than any other race conditional as
we are. This of course may be ac-
counted for in the fact that we are
in large numbers the house SER
wants of the rich and well-to-do
people who enjoin or enforce clean
illness as a condition precedent to
employment.
1t is to temperance that those
interested in the race should di-
rect their attention, for it is not
only a question Of morals, but it is
now a question of the life or death
of the race. There are certain
grog-shops who keep what they
call "nigger gin" for the colored
people, so great is the demand
among them for that questionable
article. If the race could enforce
temperance on the race, the moral
condition would be greatly en-
HANGED. Moreover strong stirn-
ulants like alchohol are calculated
to arouse latent hereditary talnts
and to set them in motion on their
death producing career.
The building regulations now in
force in the District are calculated
to arrest diseases consequent upon
living amid unhygienic conditions,
for the reason that the future alley
house must be provided with sufi-
cient yard to allow something like
fair sanitary conditions. 1t is to
be hoped that our white enemies
instead of driving US to the wall
will show the spirit of humanity
and treat us decently, if for no
other reason than that indications
point to a time when the much
abused colored man will disappear
from the face of the earth forever.
There may be vein of selfishnesss
in such charity, but if they will
