ing every phase of American life. A
delee ate from a Southern town of 25 900
inhabitants surprised the meeting by
saying:
''No undertaken in my town can con-
duct funeral without hiring my car
riages and hea'ses."
In contrast to these delegates were
men and women prominent In state;
men whose ancestors had been the true
friends Of the race. They had come to
hear the results of the freedom which
their fathers had given to the Negro.
There was William Lloy d Garrison, jr.
who spoke as only true friend can
and Mayor Hart, Professors heserve,
Frissell and Bumstead, who are using
their time and influence in behalf Of
the education of the blacks. Withal
it was grest gathering. 1t has done
more to open the eyes Of the American
people to the true worth of the Ameri-
Negro, than any other effort that has
been put forth by the race
The personnel of the officers Of the
League whose portraits are found on
the cover Of this Journal in this ed1
ton, is the proof of the continuity of
the League. They are men of high re-
pute, known for their wisdom; each a
master in his chosen field, all working
for the race, personal achievement be-
ing secondary.
The permanent officers chosen were:
Booker L. Washington, President; Giles
B. Jackson of Va, Mrs. Alberta Moore
Smith of Ill.,, Vice residents; Gilbert
G. Harris of Mass Treasurer; E. E
Cooper of the District of Columbia,
Secretary, and E. A. Johnson Of N. c.,

composed of men equally as we'll

friends.
The committee made no mistake
when it drafted into service the Hon.
Ferdinand l.. Barnett, a competent
lawyer, faithful republican and ex-
perienced campaign manager, who was
placed in charge of matters pertaining
to the colored voters. Mr.. Barnett lost
no time In organizing his forces and In
calling to his assistance some OF the
brainest men and best ''stumpers"
which the race affords in public life.
The West was the real battle ground
of the campaign, there every inch OF
the ground was bitterly contested and
there the ready fighters were needed
and placed on the firing line. The favor
in which the colored "spellbinders"
were held is best attested by the general
demand for them, and the value OF
their services is best seen in the grand
results of their labor. There were
many participants who did noble work,
too numerous to mention, but we are
pleased to speak of those who played
the most conspicuous parts.
HON. ]. MADISON VANCE,
of New Orleans, La, Won for himself
great honors and lasting reputation
as an eloxuent and forcetul orator. For
eight weeks his persuasive oratory and
convincing logic were hurled at the
breatworks of the enemy which at last
fell in ruin at his feet. After walking
into a Chicago meeting, arm in arm
with Senator Hanna, he delivered to
the 1000 people there assembled most
brilliant and eHectiye address, which
has been pronounced the crowning ef-
fort of his life. Mr.. Vance spoke In
Illinois, Wisconsin aud Minnesota. The
common verdict is, Vance is power
on the stump and with the incoming
administration he is fright up against
the throne" in point of influence.
PROF. HENRY Y. ARNE1T,

ed to know, was called into field serv

fought where the battle was the hot.
test. He was specially called as the
statistician to refute the charge that
Mckinley had done little for the Ne
gro'' and to d1sprove Bryan's assertion
that "The Negroes elect Presidents and
receive only janitorships." Mr.. Ar
nett's addr. sses were mastery efforts,
replete with indisputable statistics, par
ty history, convincing logic and timely
information. Having made special
ty of his subject matter he presented 1t
in such a manner that his speeches
were received with enthusiasm, his su-
diences lnterrupting with frequent and
hearty applause. He campalgned four
weeks, during which time he spoke in
Hin ois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Ohio. Judging from his confident
smile his lines have fallen In pleasant

shower Of giittering oratory on every
section Of the enemy's country. After
touring Illinois, South Dakota and Ne

verdict WAS "He's the noblest Roman

DR.. Bryant was more frequently
called and invited and made more
speeches than any of his associates on
the stump. His great work bore abund'
ant fruit and doubtless his reward will
be fully commensurate.
HON. ]. FRANK WHEATON,
member of the Minnesota legislature,
easily won for himself the title "The
Oratorical Chesterfield" His oratory
and manners are Of the superior class.
His speeches were replete with telling
points and illumined by brilliant flights

The first step to show the CONNER.
cial progress of the American Negro
was the organizing of the National Ne
gro Business League. in Boston in Au
gust 1900. It was the first time since
emancipation that men and women OF
the race had come together to discuss
the financial side OF the question. 1t
was the beginning Of new era for the
race. For the first time steps were
taken to convince pessimist1c world
of the Negro's progress. Booker L.
Washington, the pioneer spirit In the
movement uttered the motto of the
gathering when he said:
"a useless, shiitless, Idle class is a
menace and danger to any communl
tv. When an individual produces what
the world wants, whether it is pro
duct of hand, head or heart, the world
does not stop long to inquire what Is
the color of the skin Of the producer"
The press Of this country and Europe
hailed the meeting as harbipger IN
the direction of solution to the veKed
problem. Tie convention was mon

into the earnest faces of the $50 dele
gates present, or saw that surging, an

curb to curb, and that large auditorium
within five minutes after the door was
open, or saw what interest the conven

space given to the reports OF its pro-
ceedings by ali the newspapers OF Bos

coined the delegates to the city and in
the evening Mayor Hart came in and
In a most pleasing and encouraging
speech surrendered the keys to the
city. A notable feature OF the conven'
tion was this: There was no crying about
prejudice or railing against conditions
The speeches were all manly.
Delegates came from every section
of the country, from Alabama as well
"a from Maine, from Kansas, from
North Carolina and Virginia. They
came bearing their own expenses. The
tales told by some of the delegates Of
success and failures, of beginning low
and becoming independent. would make
material worthy Of fairy tales. The
people OF Boston listened In amazement
One Of the notable speeches dealing
with such condition was by Giles B.
Jackson, who said:

ANDREW CARNEGIE, it is stated
on unquestionable authority, has
another surprise for Pittsburg in
volving the expenditure of several
millions of dollars. His purpose
is said to be the establishment of a
polytechnic school for the instruc-
ton of practical mechanics, and
the industrial sciences The
amount of money which it is said
will be spent by Mr., Carnegie in
founding and endowing the school
is 100000. If Andrew had paid
his laborers little higher wages
he would have accomplished as
much, if not more good, than by
endowing the college, but he
would not then have obtained the
name of being a philanthopist and
a large giver away of other
peoples money.

midas STARVING MILLIONS.

Lord Curzon, the British viceroy
in India, is out with a statement
of the worlds charity for the relief
of the famine in that country. He
says that over 100000 people
have been dependent on govern
ment aid; that the famine has cost
S34, 900 in direct expenditure,
in addition to over $I8,ooo,ooo
paid out by the government in the
form of loans and advances
The most remarkable part of
this statement is that showing the
amount of contributions from
various sources. 1t appears that
in the present year the Central
Relief Committee has received
sum close upon 100000. Of
this amount India has contributed
less than one-fifth, and Great
Britain a little over $4,000, 900.
For the relief of the famine of
1867 the British contributions
amounted to the much larger sum
of SA,I82, 900, but Lord Curzon re-
marks of the present years con-
tribution that ain the circumstances
of the year it is noble gift"
The circumstance" referred to
are the drain on British resources
from the waging of the unholy
war in South Africa against the
Beers. The present famine in
India is the greatest in history, as
Lord Curzon remarks, and yet
the British contributed to its relief
only three-fifths of the total sum
of donations from all sources, and
far less than they gave on the for
mer occasion mentioned.
While 100000 of the subjects
of Great Britain have been starv-
ing in India, the British people
have been spending SO much
money for the subjugation of
few Beers in South Africa that
they have left to other countries a
large share Of the work or relief.
There is plenty of money in
England for, military purposes,
and for celebrating British victories
over the two republics that have
been crushed to earth, but not
enough to drive the wolf of famine
from India. 3. .... ...
Millions have starved in India
with British granaries in that land
bursting with grain.
And yet for many months the
British hat has been passed around
the world, and the American
people urged to contribute in the
name of common humanity"
While England holds India in
bondage, the least she can do is to
keep the people from death by
starvation. Does anybody suppose
that the United States would call
upon other countries for charitable
aid, under the circumstances
