MIR. Birney Satisfied.


Mr.. A. A. Birney said he felt well satis-
fed with the result Of congressional action
on the subject of telephones since the last
meeting of the association. The efforts Of
the association, he said. had at last re-
suited In getting Mr.. Bryan on the stand
before the investigating committee, and he
was sure Mr. Bryan was very sorry he
ever went on the stand. He was satisfied
that the farther the committee goes In Its
Investigation into the telephone business
the more certainly. will IL be shown that
all the claims of the telephone subscribers
would be verified.
Mr.. Bryan's own figures, he said. showed
that during the last FIVE years the tele-
phone company had surplus OF Sl9l. 900
after paying dividends on its watered stock
and had spent $4,000 on the extension OF
its plant. In other words. the telephone
subscribers have paid for the telephone.
Revolutions Adopted.
w. B. Davis offered resolution In ef-
feet that the members of the legal COM
nit-ee of the association be retained tc
defend individual members of the assocIa-
tion in all alters effecting telephone
rates. The resolution was adopted.
Thomas R. Marshall offered a resolu-
ton. which was adopted, thanking Con-
gress for it's prompt action in reduclng
telephone rates I'm the District OF Columbia.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. Staples
invited every one present TO partake OF
lunch. elegant and bountiful. which he
had prepared for them.

The times., 1898-12-21
Let Negroes Strike at the Root.

The Times is in receipt of many COM
munications, apparently from coiored
people, referring to the remarks of T.
Thomas Fortune at a public meeting
Monday night, denunciatory of President
Mckinley, and generally of an anarchis-
tic tendency. Some of the letters are
anonymous and hence cannot be noticed
Others miss the point of the matter so
obviously that they are not worth repro
duction. One, more intelligently written
than the average, asserts that 'it is un-
fortunate that the vile and harmful re-
marks of such thoughtless. irresponsible
men as Mr.. Fortune, should be given to
the public through the press"
The correspondent in question, and all
colored citizens should understand that
when public meetings of any class of
population are held for the purpose of
villifying the President of the United
States, and others in national authority,
and when in such meetings, held in the
National Capital, speakers are listened to
and applauded when they advise their
hearers and race to use the "proyerbiaI
African razor on the Supreme Court"
and to apply the torch against organized
society, it is nonsense to think that news
papers will not advertise the disorderly
and disgraceful facts.
The Times has always been kind to and
considerate of the colored people. It has
but one word of advice to give them at
this time. 1t is their duty to take in
hand and suppress the persons who, like
Fortune, are doing them irreparable in
jury. If such individuals We're not en-
couraged by certain negro sentiment,
they would keep their mouths shut. The
evil they do easily could be avoided if
other people refused to hear and acclaim
their incendiary utterances.
The times., 1898-12-21
NO THREE-RINGED CIRCUS.
Iowa Democrats Decide Against Fusion in
the Sext Campaign.


Des Moines. Iowa, Dec. 20.-The Demo-
cratic party OF Iowa will drop the six
teen-to-one issue and devote itself TO
State issues in the next campaign, This
was determined upon by State con-
ference attended by about fifty of the
leading Democrats of the State today
The sentiment of this meeting was al
most unanimous. The Chicago platform
will be indorsed. with probably some
qualification in regard to free silver. say
ing that the declaration for the ratio of
sixteen to one is only suggestive. The
meeting was opposed to fusion. and indi-
Gates that the Democratic party will
hereafter make its own nominations with
out outside assistance
Free silver Republicans and Populists
will have to act with the Democratic
party as such. There will be no more
.rhree-ringed circus as one man put IT,
State issues will be used next year to
bring all Democrats together. Local OPP
ton will be relied upon in the main to
do this, and the Republican party will
be attacked for increase of State taxa
ton.
The leaders hope in this way to get
their party in good shape for 1900. Bryan
was hardly mentioned. and the ma jority
think he will not do for the party nomi-
nee in 1900 but that events between now
and then should determine the choice.

Expansion Accomplished.

II has been repeatedly recalled that ex-
actly the argument of Senator Vest
against the retention of the Philippines
was urged against the requirement of
Louisiana, of Florida, of Oregon, and of
Alaska. Also that none of the dreaded
consequences which they predicted have

to statehood. Now, after every question
relating to the nature and powers of the
Republic has been discussed to rags, 1t is
strange that Senator Vest should intro

Guiding Jefferson, could tolerate the idea
that every power ever exercised by a Soy
ereign nation is inherent in our own, ex-

Senator Vest will accept the advice of Mr..
Bryan and. as predicted, that Senator Hoar
