A Dramatic incident.


Peeker OF the Connecticut Afro-Ameri-
can council, and then came the dra-
matte event OF the evening. The Ven-
erable George Il. Downing OF Newport,
who has long been Identified with the
elevation of his race; who was a warm
personal friend OF Sumner and Garri-
son, called Miss Jewett TO the front OF
the stage and said, as he took her hand,
that in pressing that warm hand he
felt that he was inspired by Charles
Sumner so TO do. Il was the last, ne
said, ito press his hand, and give the
grasp to you. Go on with your great
work, for you are the needed woman
OF the hour" Miss Jewett was visibly
overcome and the audience was spell
bound.
Continuing Mr.. Downing said: "One
speaker has said Tonight that he was
politician. / am, perhaps, TO be
classed in that category; but my object
In politics has been TO redeem my race.
and desire To be polite in Going II.
Mr. Chairman. YOU will observe that
wear no button In the lapel OF my coat.
I've struck men down before, and I
would at this rate day in my life, strike
down the man WHO asked me to wear
confederate button on my coat. That
button, in years that have melted into
the eternal past, meant the enslaving,
the debasing of an entire race. the de-
SlTuCllOn Oh our country, yet tne ciliel
magistrate of this country. which was
saved after a struggle. allows TO be
placed upon his coat a button which is
an insult to the nation and when he
suffered that act of dcbasement he
practically said that he was ready TO
sacrifice every one OF you TO conserve
his own political ends.
President Mckinley has allowed these
poor people To come before you and
appeal To Won for VOllr Sympathy for
your financial aid and IL is because he
has failed to make the first mark OF
sympathy and kindly regard that they
are here"

"After the Ball."

l notice i'll the mayors annual
message, as it is reported in your
edition ofthe Sth inst. this language:
Total Indebtedness at this date,
from information ON file, ST ,oS4. II;
resources by city property, esti-
mated, 81 10000" Now it appears
from the mayors message, and it is
uncontradicted, that our indebted
ness exceeds our assets in the sum
OF only $S4. 4.II-not bad showing,
by any means. Your enquirer was
informed shottly before the city
election of the 5th inst, by numer-
Gus parties, that our mayor and city
council had run the city in debt to
a great amount-in fact, about
So ,3oo-and the assets on hand 10
show for this expenditure consists
only of a certain city hall lot, with
out any title in the city whatever,
and a certain city park block of very
little value.
What your enquirer desires is to
know who is correct in this mat
ter, and that those people who
make those assertions being for
ward their proof or forever refrain
from making them again and at
tempting to mislead our voters in
this manner.
l am also informed by those same
people that the city council had an
expert to examine into the financial
condition of the city, and it seems,
from the report of the council pro-
ceedings in the same issue of your
paper, that there was some sort of
a report and that it was adopted.
Now your enquirer would like to-
know why this report is not pub
lished in full, or at least so much
of it as relates to the financial con-
dition of the city and stop so much
of this street talk.
