Hack and cab Drivers.

One of the largest meetings of ST. Paul
Hack and Cab Drivers union, No. 66O5,
that has been held for months assembled
last evening in Hall No. /, Assembly
rooms 1t may be possible that this or
ganizatiOn will surrender it's charter to
the American Federation of Labor. But
this will not be for the purpose Of going
out of business as a union. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor desires the ST.
Paul union to dissolve connection with
that branch of organized labor and af-
nliate with the International Transfers
union This the st. Paul hack and cab
drivers decline to do. only in so far as
surrendering the charter is concerned.
This they will agree to. Then they will
combine with other unions and organize
a national association Of hackmen. Such
was consensus of opinion last evening.
John Tenent was initiated. On the even
ing of Dec. the st. Paul union will give
a grand ball at Assembly rooms, and
last night the following committee of ar
engagements was appointed: E. Gadbout,
James Igo and John. rAeNulty. Receipts
of the evening, $16.50; : expenses, 81.

STRUCK A BOY.
Patrick Kelly, a Stranger, Accused
of Assault.

of Assault.
Patrick Kelly doubtless considers him
SELF fortunate that Patrolman Picha de-
cided to attend the performance at the
Grand opera house last evening, as Kelly
got into trouble through an alleged
vicious assault upon Joseph Pofer. an
eleven-year-old boy, and was for a time
surrounded by an angry crowd that
threatened to do him violence. Patrol
man Picha, however, placed Kelly. under
arrest and protected him from the crowd
until he was safely landed at the central
station The crowd was indignant at
the alleged treatment accorded the boy
though, and 200 strong followed Kelly to
the station, reviling him all the wav.
Kelly is charged with assault and bat
terry.
1t is alleged that Kelly knocked the
Pofer boy down with blow on the
head from broomstick. John Derrick.
living at 207 Fuller street, and Andrew
Toomy, % East Third street, claim to
have witnessed the act. They say KEEL
ly struck the boy over the head, telling
him to the pavement Kelly Is a
stranger in the city. The affair occurred
while there was q crowd about the
theater officer Picha was present in
citizens clothes and took Kelly into Gus
tody. 1t is believed the Pofer boy is
not seriously hurt, though there is a
welt on his neck where, it is alleged. he
was struck.

CAUSES OF DIsINTEGRATTON

All these things initiate against the
permanence Of the negroid type. But
there are other direct causes that re-
duce the increase of numbers If a ma
ton is to resist the crowding-out ten
denotes of a neighboring nation and hold
Its own against encroachments, morals
must not be neglected. No race is born
to perpetual life from unchaste mothers.
These are the sins that are visited upon
the children unto the third and fourth
generation-physical penalties that mean
natural determination.
The manner of life among the negroes
is careless. They are content to crowd
a house or room beyond the possibility
Of sanitation. In their personal habi s
and in their diet they pay no heed to the
laws of health. Their lax morals and
methods make them an easy prey to
diseases which are communicable, and
diphtheria and kindred ills claim num-
bers of victims For years it was
thought that the race was immune from
consumption, but in recent years the
dread disease has found it's foothold in
their constitutions, and already its dew
astating influence is appreciate. 1t
will probably be one of the saddest, vet
one of the surest elements of disintegra-
ton of a race whose physique seemed to
claim exemption.
Another and Most deplorable thing that
Is initiating against lHS negroes is the
cocaine habit This habit is q new ac-
QUESTION and no greater curse could have
fallen upon this simple people than this
will prove to be. Two Years ego a negro
cocaine tiend was almost an unknown
quantity. Today each city has it's horde.
As Yet the habit has not reached the
country negro, but his brother in the city
knows the drug well. Unless something
is done to break up the custom one more
nail will be driven into the national ne
groid coffin Arkansas last year made 1t
a mlsdemenaor to sell the drug without
a physicians prescription, and other
states will doubtless follow suit. OF
course, this is not an entire preventive,
for ways will be found to evade the law,
but it will arrest the evil in & measure
DOOMED TO DISAPPEAR.
So it seems we have a people who have
never had any original civilization, lit
erature, art or even religion; who pay
no heed TO the laws of health for body or
soul; who are dissipated; who lack the
power to acquire and hold property, or
to hold to any steady labor, and who
have no thought or appreciation of the
obligations of citizenship. Is it not
fair inference to draw that no people,
handicapped in this manner, can continue
to maintain its racial type in the midst
Of civilization utterly at variance with
