The Democrats contended during
the campaign Of 1896 that the very
men who were most interested in
the election Of Mckinley were the
enemies of public welfare. TO say
that these statements have proven
true, is to put it mildly. Yet it was
not thought when our soldiers went
to Cuba to fight the Spanish foe,
that they would leave behind them
in the administrations political
household, worse enemies than the
Spaniards proved to be. This, how
ever, seems to be the fact.

SUBSCRIBE TO. PAY FOR, AND READ
RACE JOURNALS.

The above has been the cry for a
number of years and yet notwithstand-
ing the fact that colored journal is
the only medium through which other
races of the world can know the Ne
gro is living, some Of us sit idly by
and week after week pay out our hard
earned cash to help support papers of
the opposite race that will never give
US a word in its columns except to os-
tracise US.
How long will this last7 You give
all kinds of excuses among which are
that the news is Atale. Well, to this
we would say that If the news is stale
then our doings as q rsca is stale, as
colored journal is at all times filed up
with the doings of our people.
Why not initiate other races who
will read their papers first and then if
they have any spare time and a good
bit of curiosity as to the Negroes well
fare they may glance the columns of a
colOred journal, hut in every case it is
a secondary consideration.
We should made it a point of our life
to read race journals whether of re-
| ligious or secular nature. This is
one of the many ways to solve the race
problem which IL solved at all must be
| by the Negro himself.
| We want to see the Negro educated
on the subj CT of newspaper reading
and we would advise every man, wo.
man and child to read newspapers
both daily and weekly. but never con.

read the news as published in papers o.
other races and leave your own jour

philadelphia, Jan. 1s.-Samuel Hen
derson, the 15-year-old boy charged
with killing 5-year-oId Percy LoclSyer
last Friday. was yesterday committed
TO prison to await the action OF the
grand jury. It was testified before
Coroner Ashbridge that the cause of
death was drowning. and after num-
Der OF witnesses had been heard the
jury held the boy responsible for the
ohild's death. The boy prisoner still
maintained ths unconcerned bearing
that has characterized him since the
arrest. paying not the slightest atten-
ton to his parents grief. His father
and mother were present at the in
quest, and the former gave way to yio-
lent outbursts OF grief. While Addi-
son, the 7-year-old boy who was in tbs
woods with young Henderson and lit
tie Percy on the night OF the tragedy,
stated that he saw Henderson stab
Percy a number OF times and then take
him to the creek. He also said that
Henderson had previously tied him to
q tree. but that he had broken away
and ran for home. From DR.. Morton's
testimony 1t was evident that the child
had been placed in the creek before he
