MAGNUs ROBINsON's ADVICE.
COlOred Leader Suggests Abandon
memt of WarrentOn Celebration.

Colored Leader Suggests Abandon
ment of WarrentOn Celebration.
Magnus L. Robinson, president Of the
National Emancipation Association Of Vir-
ginia, issued a circular today asking the
colored people Of the, state not to go to
Warrenton on the 22d instant to attend the
celebration of emancipation, contem-
plated and previously arranged by the
Langston Monument and Emancipation
Association. He states that the engage
ment with the Southern railroad to run a
chartered excursion from Washington to
Warrenton Friday has been Cancelled and
no chartered trains will be run into War
renton Friday He also states that Mayor
Spllman Is still alarmed, and he for one is
not disposed to excite the nervous temper
ament Of the mayor. The least friction at
Warre1ton next Friday, says Mr.. Robin
son, between any negro and a white man
would since the alarm raised by Mayor
Spillman, cause trouble and bring unkind
criticism on the race.
Mr.. Robinson has warned Prof. Robert
Keso of Charlottesville not to leave Char
lottesville with his train, as the national
association has Cancelled the celebration,
and he asks the local committee at War
| renton to abandon its plans. He says the
officers Of the national association will re-
main away from Warrenton, and the But
| ler Zouave Corps will not go. He advises
all the colored' people to stay away. He
| concludes by saying that Warrenton is one
place in Virginia that peaceful celebra-
ton of the immortal Lincoln's emancipa-
| ton proclamation cannot be peacefully OBJ
served
The Butler Zouaves have visited Culpep-
err Alexandria and Norfolk, says Mr. Rob
inson and no disorder ever occurred and
nowhere else in the state has an emanci-
patton celebration been closed out
He is aware, he states, that there are
goodly number Of conservative whites in
Warrenton who would welcome the cele-
| bration. but prudence dictates that as
Mayor Spillman has called for one hundred
guns and piece of artillery. 1t Is better to
! abandon the affair.

1t is conceded that there are records of cases
In which, apparently without any medical
or other treatement, the attacks have not
returned, or have been outgrown A mem-
per from Boston declined to accept what he
described as "the pessimistic conclusions"
OF his suffering brethren, and asserted that
he had known of two cures; and that under
the corresponding treatment namely, of a
physician at Lynn, Mass, he had been al
ready greatly relieved, and believed that
he might be cured. The association dis
courages the use of all so-called remedies
insisting that none of those usually used
are efficient, and that many are positively
injurious. The number of hay-fever suffer-
ers in the United States is approximately
100000. A. p. M.

SAN DOMINGO's MONEY.
Only Reason for Interference by Thi
Government.

No instructions have been sent to our
consular representatives in San Domingo
touching the financial crisis there, and if
any of these officers have joined in a pro-
test with other consuls there against the
action of the government in destroying the
value of paper money, the fact has not
been reported to the State Department. 1t
is said that our officials have full power to
take such action in case the interests OF
Americans are imperiled by the acts of the
local government. That is to say, if the
act complained Of destroys the value of
any contracts made by American citizens
there might be reasonable ground for pro-
test. If, on the other hand, the complaint
is directed against the act Of the govern
ment in altering its monetary system in
such fashion as would affect only future
engagements, there would be reason for
interference.

Down in Missouri in the Ozark
mountains, there lives man who
declares to the newspapers that for
90 years he has done no work.
When 10 years old he conceived
the idea that the world owes a liv-
ing to every one brought into it,
and that work is useless sin.
Since then he has done no work, so
he says. But when he explains
how he has lived all these years in
absolute contentment, he "gives
himself away" He has fished, hunt
ed and fiddled himself through the
world. That was not work, in his
estimation. According to this phi
losophy, one might say that Patti
has sung herself through the world
that Bonheur painted herself
through the world, that Forrest
acted himself through, and that
the Irish hod carriet was true
philosopher when he said that he
got his living without oil by
simply carrying bricks to the top of
a building to mason there who
did all the work.

Charles Smith, company B, First
South Dakota regiment volunteers.
That his countrymen may not
only look upon the pretty emblem
of the ''little brown man. who is
following the advice of Roosevelt
IN living "strenuous life," but
that we may know the true mean
ing Of the flag, Smith wrote as fol-
lows:
"The three stars on the insurg
ent flag represent the three rebel
llous islands in the Philippine
group. The sun is for the dawn
ing OF the new republic, and the
eight rays are for the eight tribes
that are fighting for freedom. The
red is for the blood spilled in the
cause, the white for the purity of
justice, and the blue is for the
bright sky which covers all liber-
ty." W. B. STEWART.

The fresh blOOdShed in tho ooa

The fresh bloodshed in the coal
region of Illinois is chargeable pri-
marily to the inexcusable stubborn
ness of the operators. To crafty
their mere brute instinct, their sheer
love of dominion, they imported
large bodies of negroes from the
south to take the places in the mines
OF local miners. 1t is easy to say
that this was entirely within the
right of the operators and was none
of the business Of the local miners.
But the fact remains that the local
miners felt vaguely, what is not
wholly false, that they had as much
right as the operators to access to
the coal deposits of the region in
which they lived. Importations of
men, therefore, whether white or
black, to crowd the local miners
out Of the home mines could not in
the nature of things human fail to
stir up ugliness and precipitate
rioting between the local and the
imported men. The pity of it is
that these two classes should fight
each other. Their anger makes
them blind to the true cause of the
wrong from which they both suffer,
and for which neither is response
BILE except as we all are.-Pubic.

We must get over the worst OF
all superstitions-the superstition
that it is dangerous for any man to
tell the truth exactly as he sees it.
There is no safety for the truth, OF
anything else, save in absolute
liberty for each man to see the
truth, institutions, laws and God
for himself, and to speak what he
sees with utter fidelity. Nothing
in the universe is so wicked or wan
ton as the invasion of the citadel of
a mans soul by any kind of force
or authority. Yet who of us does
not meet threat, and who of us does
not menace the liberty of our broth
er the moment a word is spoken
that crosses the existing orderi
Where are the really free men
who are servile to no one and to
nothing, but will see truth for
themselves at all hazards and live it
at all costsi For them the universe
exists and travails; for them his
tory tolls; for them the worlds
disinherited wait and stretch worn
hands of hope.-GEoRGE D. HER

THE ONE GREAT CHAIN
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOy

The purport of the hour is vast
The world wants justice. 1t demands
United hearts, united hands
The day of charity is past
Let no man think he can despoi
And rob his kind by trick and fraud
And at the last make peace with God
By tossing aims to honest toll.
Men have outgrown the worthless creed
Which bade them deem it Ged's good will
That labor sweat and starve to fill
And glut the purse of idle greed
They have outgrown the poor content
That breeds oppression. Forged by pain
Mind links to mind in one great chain
OF protest and of argument
And by the hand Of progress hurled
This mighty chain Of human thought,
In silence and in anguish wrought
Encompasses the pulsing world
And he who will not form a link
or new conditions soon to be,
Ere long must stand aghast and see
Old systems toppling down the brink
They cannot and they shall not last
The broader impulse of the day
Will gain and grow and sweep away
The rank injustice of the Past.
More labor for the selfish few
More leisure for the burdened man.
These things shall surely come to pass
AS old conditions change to new.
They change thro' strain and strike and strife
The worst but speeds the final best,
Work for all mentor all men rest,
And time to taste the joys of life.

The ponderous General Shafter
now in command of the Depart
ment of the Pacific, has asked the
Government to buy him an 81, 100
broughman.
The stern business of war is be-
coming more luxurious with each
succeeding year. In olden times
men stalked into battle rough-shod,
with their arbalests, pike slaves
and battle harness changing about
them.
Indeed this was the rule in all
countries until during our war with
Spain, when Shafter went into bat
tie in all the savage panoply of a

Dewey and the German Incident.

AuAilral DeWey Dy Joseph IL. Stick
ney, special correspondent of the
Chicago Record. The letter con
tanning the interview is written
from Nice, France, and is dated
August 80. Of the interview Mr..
Stlckney says: "'That he should
have given me the foregoing, with
no restrictions against its publica-
ton, implies that he feels that it is
time to clear himself of the charge
OF stirring up ill-feeling between

densed ''life" of the admiral, the

it was not only my right but my

Tacoma proposes to use salt
water for sprinkling the streets.
Sea water does not dry so quickly
as fresh water, with the result that
one load of it is equal to three loads
of fresh water. The salt deposited
on the street absorbs moisture dur
ing the night, whereby the street
is thoroughly moist in the early
morning, giving the pavement the
appearance of having been freshly
sprinkled.
