Fort Scott, Dec. AT a remarkable
Indignation demonstration at Pfttsburg,
in the heart of the Kansas coal fields,
the striking miners Thursday burned
in effigy Judge Williams of the federal
court of Arkansas, who sentenced John
P. Reese, a member of the national ex-
ecutive board of the United Mine WORK
ers of America, to three months in JAN
for contempt by violation of strike
order.
The strikers also marched through
the town shouting epithets of derision
and protests against the court There
were banners bearing violent inscr1p-
lions and many cartoons on canvas in
the parade. An immense crayon por-
trait of Judge Williams was carried
just ahead of a rough box coffin, bear
ing his name The coffin was carried
by six strikers.
The procession stopped on one of the
down town streets and then burned the
portrait and the coffin amid wild pro-
tests against federal courts.
The news of the incident gave consid-
cradle satisfaction to Reese who is in
jail here.

James Boston, who also is a member

as Mr.. Reese had done, and that If
Judge Williams should imprisOn him
for contempt his place would be taken
by another member of the national ex-
Reese had done.
He added that member of the board
would be kept constantly in the coal
fields urging the non-uniOn men there
to quit work, despite the federal courts
injunction, and that if all the members
of the board should be imprisoned other
members would be elected to take their
places and fill the federal prisons.

On the other hand. Bryan has in his
favor that powerful silver sentiment,
the devotion to "lost cause" which
has been referred to and which cannot
be ignored in the choice of future
leader. He is also immensely active
physically, he is young, he is
q real orator and possesses q
magnetism something akin to Clay 3
and Blaine's, which must make
his very personality formidable. 1t
must be remembered, too, that he has
been shrewd enough to be the first in
the field as a democratic champion of
hospitality to trusts ard to imperialism,
the new issues in our nstionsl politics.
Bryan was denouncing trusts in 1896;
he was opposing Imperialism within
two months after Dewey's victory. II
1t is possible under any circumstances
for politician identified with lost
and discredited cause to maintain
his position and begin anew

THE NEGRO AND POLITICS.

THE HERALD some days before the
negro gathering at Chicago, which
met to air the grievances OF dissp-
pointed leaders, commented upon the
situation in which the negro was disad-
vantsgeously placed with regard to q
market for his labor, and the serious
situation made thereby, breeding race
jealousies, that were destined to lead
to trouble. The HERALD believes that
the disposition of leaders among the
colored people to make of the race
question a question of politics is disas-
trous, and has frequently advised that
the individuals of the race leave poll
tics alone and devote their energies, by
sobriety, frugality and patience, to
able and themselves more influential,
by occasion of their moral. intellectual
and industrial worth. In order to give
the situation as viewed by colored
leaders, we reprint from the Chicago
Chronicle the declarations of the lead
ers OF the Afro-American councils at
their Chicago meeting, together with
the democratic inuendoes of that pa
per.
"If the republican party cannot
stand q demand for justice and fair
play, it ought to 60 down. We were
men before that party was born, and
our manhood is more sacred than any
party can be. Parties were made for
men-not men for parties"
If
pie uttered these words of defiance and
warning yesterday at the Afro-Ameri-
can council at the Bethel church,
Thirteenth and Dear born streets. The
element of politics in the administra-
tons dealings with the negro received
a f1aying. The outburst seems not i'm
promptu, but as the elimination of q
long series of grievances. The dele
gates and leaders of the colored popu-
nlation in the United States professed
belief that the salvation of their race
lies, not in the dictates of either polit-
ical party, but in a iddle-of-the-road
policy. If fruit is born of the resolu-
tions adopted yesterday relative to the
ballot of the black man, and if the in
dependent expressions of individual
delegates take root in the minds of
their constituents, the traditional pa
ternalism of the republican party for
tae negro Will recelVe severe setback.
President Mckinley himself is not
without the pale of the delegates
dissatisfaction. His attitude in the
distribution of army commissions aud
in the formation of the National labor
bureau is thorn in the flesh of the
negro thinkers.
In regulating it's alleged allegiance
to the repu blican party the council re-
solved as follows:
'That whatever of any political power
we have shall be exerted for no man or
any party who will not in advance of
election promise to use any power
given him by the government, state or
national, to make the colored mans
path to the ballot box as straight,
smooth and safe as that of any other
American Citizen"
Then came the resolution, in which

To illustrate another phase of the
situation, taken from the standpoint Of
the whites, we quote the Atlanta Con.
stitution commenting on the advice OF
Senator Tillman to his constituency at
Greenwood, who advised them to "go
kill the Tolberts, which says:
While we cannot join in the person
atty aimed at by Senator Tillmau,
there is q lesson in his remarks which
goes to the very root of the evil.
The colored race is totally lacking
in aggressiveness. 1t Ia marked by do
cility and obedience, and if left alone
to work out its own destiny, would fill
the place for which it was most fitted
by Lature. During the two centuries
of slavery the race never exhibited
any evidences of revenge or resent
ment, but on the contrary, quietly took
it's place of service to the white man
Even during the four years of war,
when the negroes knew that their free
dom from slavery depended on it, they
were true to their natural instincts OF
service and obedience. The commission
of startling crime was very rare.
It is only during the last three de-
cades that the negro has been led into
such conduct as makes his presence q
m6Q6QC6 TO dis "alle u6lRuOOre- In
almost every instance this disposition
can be traced to the Intervention of
some white man who sought through
that means some political preferment-
men, for instance, who found it i'm
possible to gain prominence through an
appeal to their own race and resorted
to an appeal to the other by joining a
party which had no constituency within
the ranks of the whites. These dis
turbers of the public peace, going to
negro meetings, addressing them with
incendiary harangues for the purpose OF
gaining political reward in view, little
cared for the condition which they left
behind them. What mattered it to
them If q peaceful settlement was turn
ed over to a condition of anarchy, so
that they had their certificates bound
for Washington, where they might
revel in official affiuence? Such men
as the Tolberts, to whom Senator Till
man alluded. melting their colored
neigh bors to acts of violence and fee
ing away themselves, left their poor
victims to settle accounts as best they
could.
What Senator Tillmau says, there
fore, about q certain class of white 10 en-
is true. 1t is not the inoffensive negro,

should meet with public reprobation,
but his white tempter, who, stopping
