At a meeting recently a Clergyman
told how he had become a total alb
stainer. He had previously been con-
nected with Moderation society, and
having one evening presided at one of
its meetings, he was accosted while
walking along the street next morning
by one of his parishioners, who, en-
deavoring to put his arms round his
neck, hiccoughed out: 81 do so love
you, good Mr.. Vicar; goes with you
for moderation" The vicar forthwith
became a total abstainer. *

THE B Baltimore, Md, AFRo-AMERIcAN
in speaking OF the result Of the recent
election and the defeat of Governor
LLOYD Lo NNDEs, Republican says:
AFTER the campaign had gotten full
y. under way, and the spell binders
had been sent out, reports came IN
that the colered people were getting
into line, Later on, however, Rev s.
t. Tiee, OF Annapolis; DIR. Cargill, OF
Baltimore and DIR. Sharpe OF Freder-
lex, entered the field against the ticket
which complicated masters considers n
bly, They soon got togethcr q coRsid-
cradle following and from that time the
ticket as far as the colored people were
concerned was ia danger. Circulars
were sent out denouncing the action OF
Governor Lowndes in regards to the
colored people and especially IS re-
| CARDS his action in not respiting Brown
who was hung for murder in Mont
/ Romery county. There is no mistak
| ing the matter, the colored people had
very much to do with the defeat Of TIT
party in the election just passed. Thel
had just reason to be apathetic, prom
Uses which had been made to them fou
years ago had been ruthlessly broker
and with as little regard as If they haG
never been made. Then, again, man,
colored people had little regard for tn
promises which had been made durin
the present campaign, arguing from
the standpoint that a man who break
promises once wilt break them again
and therefore cannot be trusted"
Further comment is unnecessary
These statements carry with them
lesson which should be well learne
by the Republican leaders Of MaryIan
before they embark in . presidentiI
campaign psxt year.

them right. It is time that q stop be
put to this display of race prejudice in
this island republic.
The place was closed last January
because these white men Refused to
serve q colored Cuban General. They
were allowed to open upon the promise
that they would not again discrimi-
nate. The men took an appeal, bat the
case has already cost them two thous-
