Scarcely man, yea. scarcely child
in this region need look OF the name to
know Who owns the face portrayed by
the cut above. The original is known
to thousands in st. Clair and surround
ing counties. We do not affirm the
beauty of the picture il speaks for
itself Beauty always blinds us, any
way, and therefore we are an incom-
petent critic. Bnt look upon the pic
ture and behold the next Probate
Judge of Sc. CLAIR county.
But our ignorance of art does not in
the least prevent us from knowing and
trusting the owner of the face whose
lineaments are shown. The man does
notlive who can point to q single reason
why Harvey Tappan viii not make one
of Che most competent and prompt, yea
one of the best probate judges old SC.
Clair has ever had. In all the long
contest of this campaign, imcompeten-
cy or unftness for the Office has not
been so much as whispered against the
nominee.

When the lamented Judge Vance
died last April his seat upon the bench
of the circuit court for st. Clair re-
NAMED vacant but a few hours. With
remarkable promptness Frank Whipple
was appointed by Gov. Pingree to the
honorable place. That appointment
met the unqualified approval of the
bar and people. SO well satisfied were
all concerned that when the convention
of his party met he was made the NOM
inee to succeed himself. And what is
a yet greater honor, when the opposing
party met in convention. they refused
to nominate an opponent by an over
whelming majority. This looks as if
the only ways for Judge Whipple to
escape the Office are by death or resig-
nation.

EUGENE A. BARTLETT.

1t is often said there is nothing in a
name. This may be true, but when used
as a handle to personality, there is
something in it, q man behind the
name. The name set above is the
designation of the man whom the Re-
publicans of st Clair county have
nominated for County Clerk. That
name also stands for man who is in
every way worthy of the votes of his
fellow citizens. AT the convention he
was the unanimous choice of his party
as their candidate for that office. The
man is so well fitted for that station,
so sturdy in manhood, so uncompro-
misingly honest, and with all such a
prime man, that he needs no words of
commentator. He is the right man
for the place and he's going to fill it
just as sure and soon, us next January
LIST comes.

A ROUSING RALLY.
Republicans Held an Enthusiastic
Meeting in Central Hall,
Monday Evening.

Either the weather clerk did not
count on Republican Rally in Yale
coming last Monday night, or the COM
mittee failed TO consult his docket. But
the darkness and downpour seemed to
make very little difference. Central
Hall was filled with an enthusiastic
audience. who time and again made the
room ring with cheers.
w. II. Ballentine was chosen chair
man and ne first introduced Hon. John
Il. Rich, Ex-Governor of Michigan. Mr..
Rich is possessed of a full strong voice,
well modulated, and for an hour or
more held the closest attention of his
hearers, while he discussed the issues
of the campaign. He had come to take
the place on the program made vacant
by the inability of Hon. Z. L. ColgrOve
to attend. The best praise we can give
Mr.. Rich's speech is to say that we
have not heard single expression of
disappointment.
The next speaker introduced by the
chairman was Capt. Joe Walsh, of
Port Huron, who took up the cam
paign topics not touched by the prey
ious speaker. lie introduced his
speech by joke on our felloWtowns-
man, Harvey Tappal. that brought the
house down. ii you were not there TO
hear him tell it, its no use for us to try
to help you imagine IT, or how the boys
roared. The Captain is q rapid force
full speaker. with voice that pene-
trateS and allows no sleeping of hear
ers. TO state it briefly, Joe need not
fear to face any audience outside of
China, and if he would practice speak
ing left handed he'd take even the
boxers by storm.
He was followed by short talks from
James Dunn, legislative candidate
from this district, Spain f. Pearce, f.
a. Bartlett, Harvey Tappan and n. E.
Thomas.
The music for the occasion was by
Wagner's Double Male Quartette from
Port Huron The man who could not
laugh, rather the man who could listen
TO it and keep from laughing only
lacks burial to finish his earthly career.
The boys were repeatedly encored, and
while the roof wasn't raised nor the
walls cracked, there was a noise like an
earthquake and hurricane combined.
And in these demonstrations there
was no evidence Of either dumb men
or democrats being in the house. All
alike enjoyed the music, and all alike
cheered.

The above is a picture of Spain f.
Pearce the present Register of Deeds
of st. Clair county and candidate for
reelection on the republican ticket.
Spain is a Yale boy, having resided in
the township for many wears. But the
where don't matter, it's the what that
counts. And we are here TO say q
brief word as TO what he is, both ofiiei-
ally and otherwise. As an officer he
has performed his duties to the entire
satisfaction OF al patrons. AS man
well. to make him better and bigger,
to al him fuller OF geniality and all
round good things, something would
have TO be expanded TO make room for
the enlargement. Two years ago he
received the highest majority of any
county candidate on his ticket. We
know of no reason why history should
not repeat itself at the coming election.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1900-11-02

The name and face above printed is
that of q man who for the past two
years has been st. Clair county's eff
Gent sheriff, and against whose official
conduct no law abiding citizen has
grounds of complaint. The report that
his administration is expensive is only
a story of the crooks and buns, who
fear him, and so wish to defeat his re-
election. The legal business of the
county has so increased that by special
act of the legislature two Circuit Judges
were allowed in place of one. Despite
the increase of business, Sheriff Names
expenses have been less than during
any official term for almost a decade
past. And it's just as true that as a
man is known by his friends, so like
wise is he known by his enemies. A
better reason for his reelection cannot
be adduced than the very fact that the
bum element oppose that result. And
the records show that this fearless adj
ministration Of law is done with the
least possible expense to the tax payers
of st. Clair county. Figures don't lie
because they can't.

WANTED: A WHITE NURSE

Colored people can obtain an insight
into the cause of low wages, and white
men can realizs that the degrad stion
OF one class of labor must lead to the
lowering of the other. The following
advertisement appeared in the Rich
mond, Va, DAILY TIMES of the 23rd
ult.:
WANTED A STRONG WHITE MAN
to help clean up and nurse ct The Vir.
ginia Home for Incurables. Salary. 50
per month and board. Address Miss
M T..Greenhow, 806 Z. Grace street,
Richmond, Va"
II this institution expects to secure
the services of strong white men at
$500 per month, or 20 cents per day, at
what salary does it expect to secure
the services OF strong white women,
when they work as rule for q less
compensation per day than theimen?
Here then,is the solution OF the en-
tire question and explains why white
labor has not thus far snpplanted col-
orad labor in the southland.
One thing is certain, the laboring
white mans wages will drop to the
level of the laboring colored mans
wages unless, the fsrmer eombine with
the latter aud work for the placing OF
all wages upon o common level, that
of the best.
The above should be an object lesson
to the laSoring classes of both races,
There has been much talk about the
paying of laboring white men ia this
city ninety cents. per day, but here il
concern which boldly offers
them twenty-six cents per day and
they must lodge elsewhere, If the ad
vertisement is to be taken literally.
Let us presume that it will cost him
81 per month for lodging and you have
9 case of q white man laboring for s.
per month or Is cents per day.
These are said the days OF prosper
ty in the United States and in Virgin
ia. What will it be when hard time
come upon us7
Facts are facts, and we cite them il
order that the world may see the CON
ditions confronting as.
II JOHN E. EPPs and his crowd @
ward heelers will devote their time t
raising the salaries OF his associate
instead Of placing restrictive and or
pressive legislative enactments upo
the statute books of Virginia sgsins
the Negro, they would not only ear
their salaries but win the approval {
q suffering constituency.
His measure to secure lessening c
the tims Of labor, instead OF the in
crease of wages, was defeated as wi
all other legislation to benefit the ID
boring men Of the commonwealth.
Thirteen cents per day for whit
men, how much per day fox the M
gro?
Surely we are reaching basis {
equality with the white man .even II
be. only In the matter Of wages.

S. L. Schoonmakera and John Pontefract,
on behalf Of themselves and such other
stockholders of the H. c. Frick COM
pany as may choose to join in the suit
as plaintiffs, filed the much talked OF
bill in equity to annul the coke con-
tract held with the coke company by
the Carnegie Steel company, limited,
In common pleas court No. 2, yester-
day afternoon. The bill names as de-
PENDANTS the H. c. Frick Coke COM
pany, and the board of directors of said

London, Feb. 2S.-From John
0'Groats to Lands End there has been
cheering today for the queen and
universal singing of the national an
them. This, with mutual congratula-
lions, is the brightest way of cele-
brating the most cheerful day Of the
war.
The cause Of the rejoicing is General
Roberts dispatch from Paarderberg,
Feb. q, in substance as follows:
AT a N. today most dashing
advance was made by the Canadian
regiment and some engineers, sup
ported by the Eighteenth Gordon High
lsaders and Second Shropshires, re-
sulting In our gaining point some 500
yards nearer the enemy and within
about so yards of his trenches, where
our men entrenched themselves and
maintained their positions till morn
ing. gallant deed worthy OF our CO.
lonial comrades, and which, am glad
to say, was attended by comparatively
slight loss.
This apparently clinched matters,
for at daylight today letter signed by
General Cronje, in which he stated
that he surrendered Internationally,
was brought to our outposts under a
flag OF truce.
I'm my reply 1 told General Cronje
he must present himself at my camp
and that his force must come out of
their lager after laying down their
arms. By z a m. received General
Cronje. In the course OF conversation
he asked for kind treatment at our
hands and also that his wife, grandson,
private secretary, adjutant and SER
wants might accompany him wherever
he might be sent. / treasured him and
told him his request would be COM
piled with.
"The prisoners, who number about
1000, will be formed into commanders
under our own officers. All, including
General Cronje, will be sent to Cape
Town. General Cronje is in charge OF
Major General Prettyman."
There Is no disposition to over esti-
mate the success. The government en-
tertains no illusion. AS announced in
the house OF commons yesterday, 10 900
additional troops will Immediately go
out and the effective will be kept near
1000
Lord Roberts has done more than to
capture 1000 Beers and few guns
He is within striking distance OF one
OF the Boer capitals and is master OF q
large district OF the Free State. He
has given shock to Boer confidence
and UNNECESSARILY restored the spirit
| OF his own troops. IN capturing Cronje
he has taken a leader whose presence

| The best opinion here is that the
Transvaalers are certain to continue
the fight with undiminished valor,
but 1t is not so certain about the Free

DR.. JoHEsoN's STATEMENTS.

We have received pamphlets enti-
tied, "The White Mans Government q
Failure" by Rev. HARVEY JOHNSON, D.
D., of Baltimore. Nd.
The author announces that it is q
chapter from book to be published
entitled THE Nation from a New
Point of View"
The article is csustic, scathing aud
exhaustive, 80 far as it is possible for
it to be within such q narrow compass.
The reputation and ability of DR.
JOHNSON will attract attention to all
that he says.
For example. he announces:
THE white man is almost entirely
sentimental in governments, and this
causes jrregularity, confusion injus-
tice and, therefore, failure. He is not
deliberate, nor careful and painstak-
ing, but hasty, rash and thoughtless.
So true 10 this of him that it seems he
goes into the halls of State and makes
laws simply to have them broken or
overruled by the courts and construed
to be defective, unconstitutional or
otherwise Inappropriate and out of or
der. This is the case, not in one State
alone, but in every State of the Union
and in every county, district, town
ship or city, and more especially is it
true OF the national government when
operating in congressional capacity. I
repeat, that there is this looseness of
enactment to be found everywhere.
Take the white man in any stage of
the world in which he has acted a part.
and he will show up as lawbreaksr
and . disturber of the general peace.

S0ME GOOD IN NAZARETH"

The Richmond, Va, TINES in its is.
sue of the 2Sth ult., under the caption
Of Encouragement. for the Black

"We learn from the Birmingham pa

prising colored men of that city, lie
now in q most Furnishing condition.
When the company began business it

teen of which have been improved and
bring in q revenue of nearly two thous-
and dollars year. For the year 1899
Q dividend Of 8 per cent was declarsd,
and the company is altogether healthy
and prosperous"
1t says:
at gives US great pleasure to note
these signs of thrift and enterprise
among the colored people of the South.
Such things speak we'll for the whites
a. we'll as for the blacks. They show
that the black man has got a chance in
the South, and that the white man lie
dispose to encourage him and help
him along"
We have never denied that some
white men are disposed to help US
along, but they do not embrace that
element of the JOHN e EPPs' stripe
who are demagogues of the FIRST wat
en-" stirring up strife, embittering race
feeling, and rstarding the growth OF
the commonwealth in which we live
by producing dissatisfied .yeomanry.
The TINES says:
'There is q furnishing banking insti
tuition in Richmond conducted by col.
ored people, and many OF the colored
residents Of this city are improving
their condition materially, mentally
and morally every year."
There are two banking institutions
in this city conducted by the colored
people,-the Savings Bank, G. F., U. O

and the Nickel Savings Bank of which

classify.
The proportion OF the natives TO
the foreign classes aud to the colored
class among the prison era in the Unit.
ed States is interesting. It 10 surpris-
ing to lind that less than i've per cent.
OF all tbs prisoners are colored. For
elgners are much more numerous In
the criminal courts, 30 per cent. per-
haps. while 65 per cent. are natives"
And again:
1T il recorded that Of the total insane
in the United States seven per cent.
are colored, % par cent. are foreigners
and 50 per cent natives, This of course
does not mean that the number of in
sane natives is greater in proportion to
she population. Judged on this basis
the percentage of the native insane
IL smaller than among the foreigners
or colored people. In sex there il al
most no difference, the women OUT
numbering the men so slightly that
the difference 10 scarcely appreciable.
In the pauper wards the relation OF
classes il very different. But 80 per
cent. OF the total number OF psupers
are natives, while Al per cent. are for
eigners and nine per cent. are colored.
The women are outnumbered by the
men in the ssylums throughout the
country by ratio of A to So.
The insane come In large porpor-
tions from country regions, :ia spite of
the q1iet, monotonous life."
This will afford eneours cement to
the colored folks and disnsY to the
Negro-haters.
