NEGRO EXHIBIT AT PARIS.
Galloway Gives Reasons Why j.
should BE Worked Up.

Galloway Gives Reasons Why It
should he Worked Up.
Chicago, Dec. 3O-Thomas j. Galloway,
special agent, who has charge If the ne
gro exhibit at the Paris Exr roslticn, ar
rived in Chicago to-day to secure material
representing the progress of his race.
There are three strong reasons for a
negro exhibit at the Paris Exposition nsxt
year" he sad The first is found in the
peculiar attitude In which Europe is now
situated. The Fashcda incident and the
present Boer war are only the ou-cro--
pings of a tremendous European invasion
of Africa. This dark continert Is 10 long
er dark, as the most gigantic efforts Of
capital are being directed toward opening
up the continent for the ovsrp US popula-
ton of Europe.
"a second reason for the exhibit lies in
the fact that muca criticism of the United
States is INDUCED in abroad on the ground
that this country has assumed to annex
new territory largely popula ted with dark
races, when it is charged this nation pro-
scribes in every way possible the 10,00O,g9
of such people in its own borders. This
exhibit can show other nations the other
side to the story and can furnish evil
dence of marvellous progress of the ne
groes as an offset to the charges of pro-
scrption.
the right of the negroes to have oc-
casional opportunities TO show in dis
tinctive way the evidences of their prog
ress furnishes the third reason for such
an exhibit Those expositions have
opened up several factories for negro la
bor and have crystalized strong senti-
ment in many parts favcring him as an

it is expected that many teachers and

teachers are Indifferent to educational meet

stupid. Sensible school directors look
askance at teachers who do not care to at
tend such meetings. But what shall we

of such, who in this year OF grace. regarded

The "MyStery" Expla ined.

The explanation to the great mystery
the Burlington Free Press attaches ''as to
how and on what grounds Gen. Grout was
invited to make the address of welcome" at
the Methodist conference, is this. While
the home of Gen. Grout is in Kirby, his
place of residence, if we understand cor
rectly, is in Barton. At the same time he
has worked hard in the interests OF New
port as has been demonstrated over the
question of the federal building. The
Methodists, as every one is aware, have
worked bard to abolish the army canteen.
Gen. Grout championed their cause. For
these reasons, the fact that the general has
worked for the interests OF Newport and
has aided the Methodists in the question of
the canteen, he was invited by the Rev. j.
Hamilton, pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in which the conference is be-
ing held, to make the address Of welcome.
Hence the mystery unexplained. Newport
