rights are invaded.
Now if the Negroes of the entire
country would chip in 80 cents apiece
and raise big fund to employ the
ablest legal talent in the United States,
to bring action in the U. S. Supreme
Court against the states of Louisiana,
South Carolina and Mississippi, which
have passed laws similar 10 that killed
in the Georgia Legislature the other
day, l have no DOUBT but that the
Supreme Court will decide against
them.
A similar fund raised by popular sub
scription among the colored people of
Washington city TO secure an array OF
legal talent to fight such fellows as
Chase Of the Grand Ocera to finish,
would make that sort OF prescription in
the Capital City mighty unfashionsple.
One good case fought from Dan to Beer
sheba would tame the Negro hating
Chase and all others of his kidney who
make their living off the public. This
seems to me TO be matter which con-
Germs every intelligent Negro in Wash
ington. OF course the gentlemen who
have brought suit against Chase are
abundantly able to defray their own ex-
penses, but they ought not be required
to do SO, for This is case which ap
peals, or ought to, to the pride of every
Negro who is man. Five hundred or
thousand Negroes arrayed against
this man Chase III legal battle royal
to compel him to break down the bar
riers of caste and prescription in MS
theatrical joint, and to treat all the pub
lie alike, would do more 10 convince
him that the Negro is very much IN
earnest in this matter, than any effort
Of single complainant. He can be,
and he ought to be made to treat Ne
gro patrons OF his theater decently, or
driven out of tine business. Ifhe is gone
at right, he'll change his tune and his
opinion of the fighting capacity Of the
Negroes of the District. The way 10

trick and chase all the prejudice out Of

science. He knows or believes that
there isn't any fight In the Negro. If

of results calculated to smooth away

Will BAR ROBERTS.
Republicans Decide Against His
Taking the Oath. ~
INVESTIGATION OF RECORD FIRST.
fhis Decision Reached at q Conference
of About 25 Prominent House Mem
bers-Taylor of Ohio to Have Charge
of the Proceeding.

WASHINGTON, Dec. AT confer.
ence Of about 25 prominent house Re-
pubicans, held at the Capitol, it was
decided that the eligibility of Repre-
sentauve-elect Roberts of Utah to oe.
.cupy seat in the house of representa-
tives should be investigated and deter
mined, and tlat, pending; the decision.
he should not be permitted to take the
oath Of Office.
MIR. Taylor, Ohio, offered a plan of
procedure which was agreed to after a
general exhange of views. The proceed
are is to be as follows:
When Mr. Roberts appears at the bar
of the house to take the oath, objection
is to be made on the ground that he is
ineligible. He will then step aside, and
after the other members are sworn in
the member making the o5jection-who
probably will be MIR. Tayior-wjll recite
the alleg atoms and offer resolution for
their investigation by special commit
tee. This will give the house an oppor-
tunity to vote in the first instance upon
the question of postponing the admins
tration OF the oath until after the alle-
cations have been Investigated.
The resolutions have not been formu-
lated yet, but they will include the in
vestigation of the charge that Mr.. Rob-
erts' alleged conviction of violation Of
the Edmunds act in 1889 renders him
ineligible by the terms of that act;
whether the fact that he is an avowed
polygamist renders him ineligible and
whether the state of Utah, in electing
him, has not violated the compact by
which she obtained statehood.
Mr.. Tayler says the precedents for
objectins to the swearing in of men,
Der duly elected and bearing proper Gre
dentials are numerous and in point.
Among others are the well-known cases
of Proctor Knott, Boyd Winchester and
John ID. Rice of Kentucky, who were
elected to congress shortly after the war
and also were charged with ineligibilty
on the ground of disloyalty.
Representative Powers of Vermont
presided at the conference. Those pres
ent were Messrs. Henderson of Iowa,
Grosvenor, Shattuc, Southland, Kerr ard
Taylor Of Ohio, Powers of Vermont,
Mcpherson of Iowa, Dalzell OF Pennsyl-
vania, Payne and Sherman of New
York, Curtis of Kansas, Warner of Hi.
nois. Lands of Indiana, Cannon of Iii.

diana and Long of Kansas. Il:
The Republican leaders do not desire
to make the question in any sense a
party issue.

CHICAGO, Dec. "A local paper said
$500, 900, 600 trust was in contempla.

the American Sugar company, the Glu.
cose Refining company and all of the
so-called independent sugar refneries
will be consolidated. H. o. Havemeyer

derstood, secured an option on the Ar.

concern and the outside plants in Boston
and New Orleans.
Representatives of the Havemeyer
company had been in this city in con.
ference with President @. Il. Matthies-

that tine american Sugar company will
increase its capitalization from S75, ,0OO,.

COMMON SENSE CURE.
Remarkable Remedy Which Is Bringing Com.
fort to Thousands of Sufferers.

Probably one-half the people who
see this article suffer from piles.
1t is one of the commonest of dis
eases as well as one of the most OBJ.
stinate and painful.
People suffer from piles for years
and Just because it is not imme-
diately fatal they neglect it.
Carelessness cause no end OF suf-
fering. Carelessness about so SIM
pie thing as piles has frequently
caused death.
Hemorrhages occur from no ap-
parent cause and the loss OF blood
causes death.
Surgical operations for piles often
cause death. Piles are simple in the
beginning and easily cured.
They can be cured even in the
worst stages without pain, loss OF
blood or detention from business.
And the remedy which will do it
surely and completely is the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
1t allays the itching and inflamma-
tion Immediately, heals the irritated
surfaces, and after regular use for a
short time removes the swelling and
puts the rectal membrane into sound
healthy condition.
The Pyramid Pyle Cure cures all
forms of piles thoroughly and per-
manently.
i. A Great many pile remedies contain
cocaine, morphine and similar dan
gerous drugs to quiet the pain and
make the patient believe he is getting
well, but their action is temporary
and it requires no argument to show
the danger of using such remedies.
The Pyramid Pile Cure contains
no cocaine, narcotic, nor any poison
Gus drug whatever, and it is SO far
ahead of any other pile remedy for
safety and efficiency as not to be
mentioned in the same class.
Any sufferer from piles who will
write the Pyramid Drug Co. of Mar
shall. Mich, may-receive valuable
little book on the nature and cure Of
piles, sent free by mail.
Or. better yet, ask any druggist in
the United States what is the safest
and surest pile cure and he will say
the Pyramid.
All druggists sell full sized pack
ages of the Pyramid Pile Cure at so
cents. They cure itching piles, pro-
truding, bleeding or any form Of this
common and troublesome disease.

PROSPEROUS AND HEALTHY.
Dun's Opinion of Business-Commen ou
FaiIures-wheat Weaker-Situ-
tion In Iron.

New YORK, Dec. ar. G. Dun &
Co. IS weekly review of trade issued to-
day said in part:
Business continues wonderfully large,
prosperous and healthy. AS the detailed
list of failures by branches of business
cannot be made until next week, it
seems well to say that in four weeks
failures have been reported amounting
to s6,s4S.59o. against $S,110.475 in the
same weeks of last year, $11, $40. 1876 in
1897, and over 2,0O0, 900 in 1898 and
also in 1896. Yet the volume of solvent
trade represented by exchanges at the
principal clearing houses has been for
the month 22.5 per cent greater than
last year, and 46 per cent greater than in
1892. Thus the ratio Of defaults 10
business payments was S2.57 in $1,000
Tor November, 1895, and S2.75 for 1896,
and $2.15 for 1897, but Sl.25 for 1898,
and only 80 cents in 81 900 for 1899. In
many lines the volume of business has
been larger than in October, notwith.
standing the extraordinary flood of buy.
ing ever since the beginning of last
March.
Wheat remains weak, yielding N
cents, although western receipts were
barely half last years for the week, and
for four weeks only q, sos bushels,
against 3S, ,602, 789 last year. The great
decrease in Atlantic exports, for the
week only 2,410,554, against 6,123, ,O66
bushels and for four weeks 10, l73, 735,
against l7.38S.2l0 last year, explains
much weakness. Corn declined i cent
with slightly smaller exports than last
year for the week, but for four weeks
15,265, 745 bushels, against IL ATS, ,6ss last
year.
In woolens strong demand continues
for dress goods and cotton warp and all
wool cashmeres tend higher. but there is
not much change in mems wear, nor
such rise as to justify the high prices
paid for wool. Sales continue heavy,
but largely speculative and stimulated
by the rise in London. The excitement
OF speculation leads many to overlook
the fact that purchases OF goods are to
some extent hindered by the rise in
prices already made.
The iron manufacture has to meet a
greatly increased cost Of material next
year. Prices for 1900 have been fixed
at $500 for Bessemer ore, at lower lake
ports, against S2.58 last year, and $4.25
Tor nom Ressemer against So last year,
while coke at $2.75 for furnace, with
high rail rates in every direction, indi-
cate that Iron will not be made next
