The Baptist Ministers Union met on
Monday and it was largely attended
by distinguished men Rev. E. Morris,
d. D., president of the National Bap-
tist Association of 100000 Baptists,
said: that man who pastors a church
of 25,o 900 Baptists of this city stands at
the head of the denomination"
He sternly condemned frictions
within denominational lines and urged
that ministers be more patriotic in
support of good men and great meas
ures in the interest of stale as well as
church and especially the proper train
ing of youths and protection of women
from which nations spring.
r H. Boyd, d. D., of Nashville,
Tenn Secretary of the Negro Nation
al Baptist Publication Board, was also
in attendance and urged the support
of the denominational and racial pat
ronage before the race receives equal
development with the whites, even
through the construction Of Gods
word.
On Monday next is the day of the
annual election of officers. Rev. Mil.
ler, who is now filling out the term of
the late President Daniel Morris. is
strongly mentioned for the presidency
which will lead up to the reelection
the other officers by acclamation. -
A committee on the revision of Tn
constitution with K. Johnson, Nj. ID.
as chairman, consisted of G.. NJ. Lucas
J. A. Taylor, r. ). Laws, J. III. Lee
N. I. Allen, |. Loving, was ap
pointed to report at II o'clock a. IN
That higher order of ministerial
standing may be sustained for all flu
ture time, the conference assembly Is
restored to its original attitude, than
none but the membership is to be adj
mltted, except such clergymen as NAV
be the guests of some member upon
introduction, or such distinguished
citizen as may be recommended by the
business committee for conference ON
matters OF interest to the race and
country.
DR.. Waring of the public schools
addressed the conference upon the
importance of their presence az the
national meeting of the educational
convention to meet here in July and
his influence for the best talent to our
churches on Sunday.
In answer to an inquiry by w. P.
Gibbons. Ph. d., may they not have
colored ministers? DIR. Warine said;
that is no objection to that request,
but there may be some fears that the
colored ministers will not be here, as
so few seems to be members of the
association. But, said DIR. Waring, it
would be better to have white men IS
northern people are in total ignorance
OF the colored race and there will be
a good chance for them to see us.
You must remember that the race
is in the South, and only the lowest
rabble go to the North, even white
people dare to place their estimate
upon our racial value.
The conference received a bio
graphic reniniscense of r. S. Laws,
ID. D., for whose appointment to
position of chaplain in the United
States Army, that have fully endorsed
him. His appointment bears the en-
dorsement of the Rev. E, c. Morris,
D. d., of Arkansas, president of the
National Baptist Convention, with his
best wishes for an early appointment
and successful mission.

WHAT | SAW AND HEARD.

Whlle strolllng around this
week, ! met several Texas politicl
ans, who seem to be very much dis.
appointed and dissatisfied with the
administration, some of the leaders
pouring forth their wrath and ven
ON because a Mr.. ferguson had
been turned down. They claim
that the last one of the IL
big places have been given to white
men who are not republicans.
They all now claim 10 have seen
their mistaken turning down the
late N. W. Quincy and placing a
white man at the head of their ma :
chime. Not a colored man they
claim has received recognition in
the State, but in 1900 the tables
will be turned. In the hotel lob
bies, upon the street corners and
everywhere else, these disappointed
politicians are telling their tale of
woe.
Ex-Congressman George W. Muir
rays friends are very anxious to
have his case taken from the sub
committee ana acted upon. The re-
publican house seems to be very dill
atOry in deciding his case, greatly
to the disappointment of the col
orsad people u this country;
The negro seems to be getting
the cold shoulder everywhere, 1t
is, to great extent, Iii lis fault. He
has no fixed purpose in view, he
SEEMS to be at loss what to do.
Hei is fighting and opposing one an
other. 1.-The man who succeeds"
a certain politician remarked "a few
days ago, ''is the sycophant and
political coward. The colored rep
resentatives do not seem to have
any influence with the administra-
ton, Their recommendations of coll
ored men for Office don't seem to
have any weight. The white man
must indorst negro for office or
he is not appointed, The day of
negro leadership is Oh the
downward road. He lacks man
hood and pos, s,tiveness of charac
ter. He has no thought Of his
own that he dares to express. He
prefers to cater, trim and apollo
gize for the wrongs that are i'm
posed upon the negro.
The civil service law has not ye1
been repealed. Colored repuoll
cans who were dismissed under
: the last democratic administration
are still walking the public streets
