TIE Boston Journal, in speaking of Arizona, says: "Arizona stands to- day, viewed from business and com mercial standpoint, very much where Colorado did two score years ago. Its present conditions and it's future out look are much the same as were those of Colorado in the 70's. The time has come when ridicule and criticism is ceasing to have its effect. These com- paratively trivial things cannot possi- ply weigh much longer against the progress of territory of this eharac- ter. The people outside are already beginning to realize what is here and what can be done here, and, always ready to grasp opportunities, they are bound to come here and improve the same. It is land of great promise, of enormous resources and of delightful climatic conditions. The combination of factors, properly used and directed, can only result, as it has done so many Hines in other sections, in a magnid- cent and widespread development and prosperity"

A dispatch from San Diego, May 18th. says: Alfred Lambda, a French man aged 50, blew his wife's head to pieces with shotgun last night, and then put the muzzle of the gun to his chin and pulled the trigger of the other barrel. He left letter saying his wife was unfaithful. Two young sons wit messed the act, washed up the bodies afterwards, put the house in order and went to sleep, reporting the crime to the police this morning.

A NEW ORGANIZATION.

We regret to learn of the unfortu-
nate outcome of the conference held
recently at Rochester, N. Y, for the
purpose Of discussing the advisability
of resurrecting the Afro-American
League.
AS we before stated, we were unable
to see or understand why this confer
ence was called.
Mr.. 7. THOMAS FORTUNE had declined
to issue q call for the resurrection OF
the League. and the refrain OF LET
her sleep" had gone from one end oil
the country to the other.
The conference decided with Mr..
FORTUNE that it was inadvisable 20 60
into the resurrectinG business. There
upon, the resourceful Bishop WALTERS
proposed the organization OF The Ma
tional Afro-American Councip' with
the purpose of doing all that the
League failed to accomplish.
Mr.. FORTUNE was chosen president
He subsequently resigned and the able
bishop was elected in his stead.
The officers are Bishop A. WALTERS
d. D.. president; Hon. John @. Dancy
Ist vice president; Prof. b. 7. KEAL'
ING, I'd vice president; Mrs. IDA WE'LL
BARNETT, secretary; JOHN w. THoMP
SON, treasurer.
We wish the new movement sue
cess.
1 We learn that Mr.. FORTUNE is dis
gusted over the shortcomings of tn
race. Let him be charitable and IT
member that "Rome was not built
day." nor the grievous effects of tw
centuries OF slavery eliminated In
generation.
The race is slow to appreciate W ort
or to reward merit. But it will all
over "bye and bve."

they followed him, while some on

that they reached there in time &c

IT is gratifying to read conservative
articles from the pens Of white men,
who have lived in the South and noted
the capricious changes which have
taken place during generation.
In discussing race prejudice, the
Petersburg, Va. INDEx-APPEAL in its
issue of the Goth inst. said:
"Race prejudice, while as natural as
life, is also in form Of its manifesto
tions, like life, incomprehensible.
Men acknowledge the prejudice, be-
cause they feel it. In the particular
matter of Negroes, the citizen of the
United States feels the prejudice much
more than the people of other coun-
tries-notably more than Frenchmen
or other residents OF continental Eu-
rope do"
Over there it was known as system
of caste. In all monarchical countries
the dividing line is drawn, birth decid.
