Glow Lamps in Place of BELLS.

(From the London Daily Mail)
1t is the intention Of the National Tele-
phone Company to introduce in the near
future a system by which the tedious
process OF ringing up the exchange will
be abolished
Under the promised new conditions the
subscriber who desires to be put into COM
munication with someone else will just
have to take his receiver off the hook or
out Of the "cradle" of the movable instru-
meut, and instantly tiny electric lamp
will glow in front of the young woman in
charge of his particular section Of the ex-
change.
The lamp as a substitute for the shutter
is not absolutely new, for the system has
been worked satisfactorily in certain dis
tricts of London for some time but the
promised innovation, by which the handle
and crank apparatus OF the subscribers
instrument Is to become terror of the
past, will be hailed as an unmixed bless
ing.
In the application of that system Bristol
is ahead of London, the glow lamp method
having established itself as success in
that city. But steps are already being
taken to bring London up to date.
At Kensington and London Wall ex-
changes are being fitted for the new sys-
TEN, and it is expected that In these dis
tricts the glow lamp method Of call viii
be working early next year The rest Of
London will be fitted out as soon as the
necessary apparatus can be brought from

DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.
Secretary Richardson Says Bryan
VIII Carry Kentucky by 1920

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Oct S--n conf
dsnce is a forerunner of victory there is
little doubt as to the result in Ksntu ky.
At Democratic State headquarters it is
looked upon as certainty that both
Bryan and Beckham will carry the State.
Bryan is likely to have a majority CT 25,-
coo votes. The condition CT affairs in
certain sections Of the State has-under-
gone a change for the better from
Democratic standpoint.
A poll of the State is now being taken
by the campaign committee, and Secre-
tary Gustavus Richardson. who has
charge of the poll, believes
that it is safely Democratic
by $4,000 votes. This predic-
tion is based upon the pGIl and the re-
ports of party workers in the Congress
sional districts. Secretary Richardson
has reduced his figures to districts. He
PLACES the Democratic majorities in the
several districts as follows:
First, 1900; second, 5000; third, 1003;
fourth. $780, sixth, 5,G00; seventh 5000;
eighth. $50; ninth, 500; tenth, 1,4GO; to-
tai, 81, $50.
He comedies the Eleventh district to
the Republicans by 1900, and the Fifth
by 1900. These figures give a Democrat
ic majority in the State of 16, ESQ.

REPUBLICAN FIRMS ACT.
Asks Its Employees to- Declare Theiz
Political Preferences


Political Preferences
BALTIMORE. Oct. S.-EmpIoyes OF the
Baltimore Chrome Works, Block and VIII
lis Streets, are indignant over the action
of their employers in seeking to obtain
from them a declaration of their political
preferences. They wonder what it all
means.
The firm is Republican in its sympa-
thies, and Mr.. Jesse Tyson. its president,
has been lifelong Republican. A large
number of workmen are employed, a ma
iority of whom, 1t is claimed by several
of the men, are at heart for Mr.. Bryan
and the Democratic ticket this year. On
Saturday afternoon, when the men were
paid of. each found in his envelope with
his weekly wages two small slips of pa
per. printed in red ink, follows:
VOTED IN 1896. WILL VOTE IN 1900.
MchinIey--... Aeklnley------
Bryan. BFyan..--.--.
AS they were given their envelopes the
men were told that these tickets must be
correctly marked. showing how they
voted in 1886 and how they intend to vote
in 1900, and turned in at the office today
They were told they could mark the tick
cts at once and turn them in before they
left the place if they wished. There was
10 threat or insinuation Of what might
happen should the tickets be marked
wrong, it is said. but the men were i'm
pressed by the idea that il was Repub-
lican move. Some CT the tickets were
marked at once and turned over to the
paymaster Others were taken away, the
men preferTing TO wait until Monday be-
fore signifying their intention.
William Cowan, % North Broadway, su-
perintendent and manager Of the works,
when asked yesterday about the matter,
acknowledged that the tickets had been
given out il the mems pay envelopes, but
denied that the firm had originated the
idea or had tried to coerce its employees in
any manner.
THE tickets" he said, were brought to
our Office by representatives Of the Demo-
cratic Honest Money League CT Maryland,
who asked US to give them out among the
men. AT least I think 1t was the Honest
Money League although it might have
been some other organization. II might
have been Democratic league
The tickets were given out with the
full consent OF the FIRM" Mr.. Cowan was
asked.
''Of course The firm consented. We are
willing to do that sort of thing, although
do not believe an accurate estimate can
be gotten in that way or that 1t does any
good. If the men knew the firm was in
sympathy with Mr.. Bryan Or Mr.. Mckinley
thNy would be likely to mark their tickets
that wax--even if they intended to vote the
other way
Mr. Cowan, your firm is Republican In
it's sympathies, is it not?''
Yes, the firm is Republican Mr.. Tyson
has always been d Republican. and will
probably continue to be as long as he
lives
Among the worknen the tickets created
considerable excitement and the receipt of
them in their pay envelopes was under
stood by many 10 be an attempt to infiu-
ence their votes in favor of Mckinley. 1t
was stated by enc of the men that a. num-
ber of the workmen who intended to vote
for Bryan marked their slips for McKin-
ley fearing to do otherwise.

May join the Federation

Regarding the published statement Of
Michael Fitzgerald. a member CT the leg
islative committee of the National Lst-
ter Carriers Association cf this city.
which says that there is streng move
ment on foot among large number OF
knights Of Labor letter carriers to sew
er their connections with that bedy
and amalgamate with the Federation Of
Labor. Samuel Gompers, its president,
said this morning: I'VE shall always be
glad to welcome 10 our ranks unafili-
ated labor, and of course we endeavor to
strengthen our organization by all fair
and legitimate means. It is only natural
that we draw fresh recruits from rival
labor organizations, our federation being
of greater benefit to the workingman."
President Gompers was invited to
speak before the last convention of the
National Association of Letter Carriers
where he took occasion to invite them to
join the American Federation of Labor
The present movement is the outcome OF
President Gompers visit.

When I was set apart to the Office of
bishop, the then Senior Bishop ]. J.
Clinton took me aside and told me
continue TO take an active part in
politics.
| have tried to follow his advice, but
have had sometimes the experience of
which Bishop Moore once complained.
Some one said that he as bishop
ought not to meddle with politics.
The bishop said the trouble was
that politics would not let him alone.
When politics quit bothering him he
would quit bothering with politics.
In this year of grace politics seems
TO have much to do with the bishops
Several have found it necessary to
deny the statement that they have
become democrats.
So far as l know, no public state
ment to that effect has been made re-
specting myself. But as I have trav-
eled attending to my Episcopal du-
ties I have learned that a report has
been circulated that Bishop Hood has
turned democrat. And I have found
my people much excited over it. And
do not blame them for the feeling
manifested.
For the Afro-American who forsakes
the interest of his people at this time
deserves their contempt.
They are not ignorant respecting
political conditions, as some profess to
think They understand the situation
and know how to vote. Neither are
they Indifferent, as some would make
believe.
II IS true that large numbers in
some sections failed to vote, but 1t
was not the result of indifference, but
because they were not permitted to
register.
there never has been a time in
winch they were more anxious to
vote and II they had been permitted
70 90 so nlnety-nine out of every hun
ured would have voted against the
amendment.
1he muItltudes which are now leav-
ing North Carolina, many of them at
d great sacrifice of property, Is an
INo'SPutabIe evidence OF the wide
spread discomfort.
Inc democratic party is responsible
'oF every enactment for the oppres-
0'on or the Afro-American, from the
passage OF the fugitive slave law. the
sum OF all yillainies enacted about so
lars ago, down to the latest act of

II has also opposed in the national
Congress every measure proposed in

with this record In view, how any
Se-I-respecting Afro American can be

Ihe tendency of the democratic policy
Is toward a dollar worth only about

do not care for metal dollar which
needs that kind of help to make it 90.

believe IN expansion, which was
once a democratic doctrine when an
outlet Tor the extension of slavery was
desired; but even in that a falling
from grace is now witnessed.
might mention other points of diff
ference, but think this sufficient to
show that l could not be an honest
democrat, even if I had a grievance
against the opposite party-which I
have not.
I do not care TO deal In PERSONAL
ties, hence I need not to say much
about candidates. But may remark
that I have seen nothing to change
my very high opinion of President
Mckinley
He has certainly done as well by my
people as any president we have ever
had. Much better than some who
have been held in higher esteem by
leaders Of the Afro-American race.
In my opinion, he has done more
for the material development Of the
nation than any president we have had
since the foundation Of the govern
ment.
Perhaps it may be said that he has
had better opportunity than any.
Admitting that, IL still remains that
he has been fully equal to his great
opportunity. Even his opponents
praise his Chinese policy. But how
could he have had hand in that i'm
poTtant matter if he had scuttled out
of the Philippine islands, 40 some
claim he should have done7
think it must be admitted that the
delegations OF the powers OF the
world at Peking eve their salvation
to the wisdom of Mckinley. And with
out the base of operssaons he had in
the east he would have been power
less, and could only have viewed with
horror a fearful tragedy at q great
distance.
This nation enjoys Q respect among
the nations it had never enjoyed be-
fore.
II great international war is avert
ed at this time the credit will be due
to Mckinley more than any other
man on earth. And it seems to me
that all who have any interest in the
nations credit. welfare or destiny
must support him now.
The great battle between Christian
ity and heathenism seems to be ap-
preaching, and the Christian powers
will do well to be careful in the Sc
lection of their standard bearers.
The race question will dwindle into
insignifcance inside Of a hundred
years.
The Afro-Amerioan will be called
for by and by to stand with his white
brother in the contest which is to
open the way for Christian civiliza-
tion in all lands
Then
