1t has been no easy task for these
younger politicians to make reputa
ton for themselves, They had no ad-
ventitious circumstances to aid them in
their march upward. The Offices held
by them had been held by black men
before them and the notoriety that TO-
lows on the heels of novelty did not
serve them in any advantageous way
as it had their predecessors. What
ever glory has come to them has been
earned by their ability to fill the places
aeceptably in which they were placed.
These men, too, will have their day
and pass off the scene of action. Other
eolored men will take their places and
do their work, and as they themselves
have served and benefited their race,
these new men will do the same. From

struction period leaves the stage Of ac'

men who were boys when these heroes
were making the fight that gave to the
Negro race in America whatever po
litical reputation and prestige it has.
1t was Douglass, Langston, Lynch,
Pinchback. Bruce, Small and men of
their time that made it possible for US
to have Senators, Congressman and
high State officials. These men wrought
a great work and won for themselves
imperishable glory. The black man of
our country will always hold their
names in honor and reverence.
Of these men Lynch. Pinchback
and Smalls are the only ones now left
to take their places in the front ranks
Of their political coadjutors to fght the
battles Of the party that has done so
much fer them and their race. John
R. Lynch holds distinguished place
in the Army and, perhaps, will not
leave his post to actively participate in
the routine duties of the campaign, but
bis splendid talents are already being
utilized by the National Republican
Committee in a most effective way.

There have come on the scene in late

THE following from the New York

several months IN preparation for Van

Ii Hung Changes grand nephews, now
on a visit here and about to enter Van

famine has much to do with the Boxer
uprising, and that it is largely the bat
tie of the poor, who have nothing and
are starving, against the rich, whose
property they wish to take from them.
The hostility to the native Christians is
on account of their receiving from the
missionaries food aud and, while there
is nobody to give TO the poor Chinaman
who is not Christianized. The young
kinsmen of the great statesmen show a

MODERN SURPRISES.

IL is as true to-day as it ever was in
the 5000 years of history Of the world
that 1--WE know not what day may
bring forth" We cannot certainly an
ticipefe events. We lige y day q
surprises -, - y -. 80
The whole world was amazed when
in the Spanish American war the Amer
leans sent two Spanish navies to Davie
Jones locker with hardly the loss by
death of a single American soldier.
Again the world whistled in wonder TO
see $4,000 Boer farmers, or even less,
not only holding at bay the mighty
power of great Britain, but, for a time,
actually winning great victories from,
or hemming up and beseiging, British
armies, until England poured into South
Africa a Mississippi food of $50, 600 sol
diers.
The next great surprises have come
from China. The japanese whipped the
Chinese so easily few years ago that
the Western world believed a handful
of Occidental troops could easily go
against hundreds and hundreds of the
Oriental hordes. Accordingly Admiral
Seymour, with 1900 men. tried to cut
his way to Pekin through 100000 Chi
nese soldiers. He was hurled back and
but for speedy relief would have been
annlhilated. The surprises came in the
fact that in three years China had
learned the art of modern war and had
acquired vast stores of modern arms.
The second surprise came in the stay
ment that all the ENJOYS of the grelh
powers at the Chinese capital-envoys
sacred in person for what they repre-
sent-had been massacred; a thing, if
true, unparalleled in all time. The
third surprise came in the utter failure
to verify the statement as TO the massa-
ere. A ray of hope once or twice broke
from the black mystery of gloom at Pc
kin and the optimists began to assert
that the ministers were safe. Although
a formidable army of some 10000 or
80, 900 men are only 70 miles distant
from Pekin, neither England, Russia,
France, Germany, the United States,
Japan, Austria nor Italy have been able
to hear for over long. weary month of
the certain safety or the certain fate of
their respective ministers. Within the
great square walls of the Chinese CAPT
tai, for more than thirty days has been
locked the awful secret which waiting
world is in an agony TO know.
What next?
