From The 1ndianopol,s World.

The World had noticed the perfor
nance in the dispatch and cut it out
for comment, 1t struck us precisely
as it did Editor Chase, of the BEE, and
We heartily second his cry of disgust.
The 5000, 900 of colored citizens do not
need any one to pledge them. They
can do that for themselves. 1t takes
a good deal of cheek for little coterie
of politicians seeking notoriety to
claim that they have 10000 colored
citizens in their pocket, which they
carry around for advertising purposes.
The whole performance is disgusting,
and every negro newspaper In the
country should resent their impudent
obtruSiveneSS.

1T is RUMORED.

That the self-constituted committee
was organized on the street.
President Mckinley laughed.
He counted 20 dusty applicants for
office.
Editor Cooper $500 job gave gen.
tie reminder
Something will drop in few days.
Some surprises will go to the Senate.
lhe. President is considering the
pro,priety OF appointing a negro gen.
eral.

You must watch and pray.

GRAND STAND PLAY.

President Mckinley knows how
to make the grand stand play, as
we'll as the negroes who took it
upon themselves to give away the
5000, 900 of negroes. Notwith-
standing the amount of patriotism
that has been manifested on the
part of the colored patrlots, not
one has been commissioned to
command colored brigade. The
grand stand play, that has been
diplsyed has only made the colored
patriots look like fools.

disappeared amidst the realms of the
shadows. The glory of Rome, Greece,
Babylon, Persia and other govern
ments, whose records have been writ
ten in blood, linger only in the mind
OF the poet, the historian and phIlos-
opher.
But whatever may be said of the
short coming of the American people,
the future historian cannot record
them any instance in the annals of
time, that they needlessly engaged in
warfare.
1t has only been when foreign gov
ernments have undertaken to enslaye
their citizens by imposing upon them
heavy burdens of taxation or when the
knife of treason has been raised
against the throat of the Union that
she has unfurled her banners to the
breeze, driven the invading enemy
from our shores, established domestic
peace and made our Union one and
inseparable.
In this bloody march Of heartless
and cruel tyrants and despots, bent
upon the destruction of governments
and utter annihilation of the gems of
liberty and human rights, the country
OF Spain has not been without her rep
resentatives. Situated as she is in the
Southwestern part of Europe, with her
vast mineral resources, her fertile cli-
mate, and her wonderful facilities for
mandatory, she early in her exist
ence began to write her history in
characters of blood. For two thousand
years, when not engaged in military
conquest, and in the utter subversion
OF the rights and liberties of her
nieghbors, until today her treasury is
depleted, the country impoverished
and the whole government on the
verge of dissolution.
Being thus reduced to poverty, she
has tor years been imposing and levy
ing heavy burdens and unjust taxations
upon the people of the Island of Cuba
to increase her revenue and to keep
in her own veins the life blood of ex-
istence; but there came time in the
history of Cubans, when manhood and
independence of her citizens revolted
at the outrage practiced upon the m,
and they resolved in the name of hui
manity, liberty and for the preserva-
ton of their own independence and
manhood to throw off the yoke of
Spanish thraldom and to set upon that
magnificent Island. the queen of An
tiles, government Of the people, for
the people, and by the people; but
bent upon subsection and with an
iron will to force her heartless and
brutal DEGREES, this impoverished gov
ernments gathered together the fra
GRANGE of her navy, and with two hun

A COLORED COLONEL.

We sincerely hope that Presi-

clear to appoint negro general to
command our army of colored
troops. All the negro asks is a
chance to show what he can dc
under the command Of one of his
own soldiers.

THE SELF-CONSTITUTED CON-
MITTEE.
From The Texas College Recorder.)


The Recorder agrees with you, Edi-
tor Chase, in the above. Mr.. Pinch
back and his committee had no right
to form themselves into a committee
to represent the negroes of this coun-
try. What organization or national
congress asked him and them TO rep
resent nine million negroes of this
country and turn them over to the
President? As citizens the negroes
will fight for the flag every time. But
we are tired of those self-constituted
committees, made up generally by
dead politicians hankerlng around the
White House for an opportune time to
say word, claiming to represent the
voice of the people, when in truth
they represent nothing but themselves,
and hardly that creditably.

CUBA's NEED Is URGENT.
Her People Are in a Condition
of Starvation.
An Appeal to American Generosity'
to Furnish Relief - Gen. Lee
Furnishes List of the Sup
plies Needed.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The most pro-
found distress prevails among many
thousands of people in Cuba. Starva-
ton not only impends, but is an actual
fact. The president has been informed
of the facts from sources whose credi-
bility cannot be doubted. He has gone
to the length of his constitutional
power in calling the state of affairs to
the attention of the American people.
The state department has used all of it's
authority to mitigate the conditions
thereF the letter to the public sent
out by Secretary Sherman the day be-
fore Christmas pointed out the way to
further alleviate the miserable condi-
ton of the reconcentrados. Monday
the sum of $4,000 was received by AS
sistant Secretary Day from certain
charitably disposed persons whose
names are not disclosed, and this sum
will be remitted by telegraph early this
morning to Consul-General Lee for dis
bursement among the most pressing
cases.
1t is hoped by the department of
state that the American people will
come to the relief, and that promptly
by subscription of money, clothing and
supplies of various kinds. The news
papers are expected to lend generous
aid in carrying forward this movement.
The machinery for distribution has
been provided by the state department
and Consul-General Lee has under
taken, with the aid of the American con-
sular officers in Cuba, to give persona,
attention to the alienation of distress
by the distribution of the gifts of the
American people.
One line of steamers plying between
New York and Havana-the Ward line
it is said has undertaken to forward
any contributions of goods to Gen. Lee
at Havana, and it is believed that the
American railroads will do their part
by carrying the goods to the seaboard.
The Spanish authorities have consented
to remit all duties on relief supplies so
forwarded. The state department di-
rects that they be sent direct to Con-
sul-General Lee. either money by draft
or check. or goods.
Consul-General Lee has cabled the
state department just what is wanting
at this juncture, and his list is as fol-
lows: Summer clothing, secondhand
or otherwise, principally for women
and children; medicines for fevers, in
Guiding large proportion of quinine;
hard bread, corn meal, bacon, rice,
lard. potatoes, beans, peas, salt fish,
principally Goldfish; any canned goods,
especially condensed milk for the starv-
ing children. Money will also be useful
to secure nurses, medicines and for
many other necessary purposes.

VIII Not Accept Latest PropoSRi On
Sealing Question.

London. Dec. 2s.-Lord Salisbury, The
premier, has written to United States
Ambassador Hay in response to Ameri-
cas- latest proposals in the Behring sea
controversy, her request that Great
Britain would enter into an agreement
with the United States, Russia and
Japan to stop sealing. Great Britain de-
clines to enter into such an agreement.
Lord Salisbury says in substance that
he has communicated with the Cana
dian government, which has the fore
most interest in the sealing question,
and that Canada is unwilling to become
party to such an arrangement as is
proposed by the United States. There
fore England, continues Lord Salisbury,
whose interest is but slight, would not
be justified in acceding to the pro-
posals. Lord Salisbury's answer en-
phasizes the policy of England not to
interfere in Canada's foreign relations.
