Rican reversal for continuing warfare
in the Philippines and Ion interference
In the South. Mr.. NewsOme quoted
the passages in the magazine article
appearing under the signature Of Gov
ernor Roosevelt IN which he criticised
the Tenth Cavalry. He cited an au'
thority in defence of the c2lored troops
in their rearwsrd movement, who states
that they were ordered to fall back by
a commanding officer.
Mr.. Bryan, said the speaker, had
promised to protect every right Of every
citizen as far as his power extended re-
gardless of color. The same promise
had BEEN made by Mckinley, the speak
er conceded, but that promise had not
been kept.
A lesson might be learned from the
Germans, whom no party own d, be
thought. Their attitude was compared
with the statement OF Lemuel E Quigg,
who had declared that the Negro could
not ne driven from the republican
ranks with club. The duty OF the
Negro, Mr.. Newsome conceived, was
to vote for the democratic candidate
this time in the Interests OF his own
race if for NO other reason than as aD
experiment. Mr.. L. M, Hershaw made
an eloquent speech, saying the audis
ence did not appear to need any mis-
sionary work to hold 1t in line. He
took occasion. however, to makes ring.

COL. MAT N. LEWIS,
The Successful Daily Negro Editor-A
Strong Character-A Successful Career
"A Power in Virginia,

No few Negroes have had the am
bition to begin the publication of daily
paper in the interest of the Negro" q
consummstion devontIy to be wished"
80 say they; just few have attempted
to materialiZe this seemingly "teYrible''
task and fewer still have succeeded.
Virginia, with Norfolk as the lucky
town claims the pioneer in this step
the most successful of that fewer and
every one knows Col. Lewis Of the
Daily Newport News Recorder. The
Recorder is the acknowledged leader in
its line Of journalism. Though pub.
lished III the southern part of Virginia,
the editor, Col. Lewis makes no pre-
tense at spologizing for the wrongs
perpetrated upon the southern Negro
by the southern white man, as some of
our papers are wont to do here of late.
Clean, aggressive, yet conservative, the
growth of The Recorder under the ef.
ficient management OF Col. Lewis mas
been wonderful. From four page daily
with three-fourths of the matter plate
lit has grown to a four page daily with
two. thirds of the reading matter origi.
nal and the remaining third taken I'D
In legitimate paying advertising, thus
demonstrating that 1t does not require
$50, 900 subscribed by Negroes to run q
daily, but that the man with the ever
lasting qualities of Col. Lewis can con-
duct Negro daily forever; make it re.
spectacle, readable and a success f.
naucially. The Newport News Re-
corder is power locally, and is felt so
far as the Negro vote is concerned
throughout the state. To attempt to
legislate In around Newport News
without consulting the editorial rooms
OF The Recorder is like attempting tn

crowded into the Second Baptist
church last Sunday afternoon, to listen
to a discussion of the all ll-absorbing top
10, "The Duty of the Negro in the Pres
ent Campaign" under the auspices OF
the Lyceum. President R. W. Thomp-
son So in the chair and in introducing
the speakers, said that the meeting
was not q political one in the general
aceeptation of the term, but was an ed
ucational review Of highly important
issue now up for settlement. He
thought that it was sacred mission
for an organization to select an appro'
pirate time to assemble and In calm
and tolerant vein go over the facts and
theories presented by the opposing 6 par.
ties to the end that sn intelligent
course Of actien might be disclosed.
He insisted that The truth could take
carr of itself, and that TO give both
sides fair hearing was the best evil
dence of the progress OF race toward
culture, refinement and generosity OF
judgment.
Lawyer Thomas L. Jones was the
principal orator, and he was introduced
as barrister who had made the ability
of the Negro attorney respected in eye
nv court of the District. Mr.. Jones'
address was a scholarly presentation OF
the issues. 1t was we'll tempered, up
to date, and was delivered in the poi
ished, engaging and foreefuL manner
for which the protege OF the late John
M. Langston is famous. He argued
strongly from the republican stand
point, and urged the Negroes to stand
firmly by Mckinley and Roosevelt, as
the best means of preserving our llber-
ties and sssurlng material prosperity.
Mr.. Jones reviewed the history Of the
Negro race in the United States through
the days of slavery to emancipation,
and the enactment Of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the Con-
stitution. "For forty years." he said.
s'every enactment that has benefited
the coIored race has been the instru-
ment of the republican party" He
charged upon the Negroes the necessi'
ty of not only reading the platforms
and listening to the utterances of the
two great political parties, but to ob
serve closely the actions Of both. The
issue Of Imperialism was taken up by
Mr Jones, who severely criticised Sem
ator Tillman. Democratic victory, the
speaker considered, would be vindi-
cation of oppression of the Negro, and
mark of ingratitude to those equal un
der the laws. The sins of omission
lodged against the republican party
were due to the sins committed openly
by the democracy.
Mr.. ]. T. G. Newsome, of Texas, for
merly editor of leading race paper,
presented brief rejoinder, Offering
reasons why the democratic party
should receive Negro support. Mr..
Newsome stated that he realized that
he was on the unpopular eide Of the
argument as far IS q colored audience
was concerned. He was not an apollo
gist and bad no wish to defend these
measures that had been taken against
the colored race. The republican parry,
he urged, had had 1t within their pow
or to prevent the oppressive acts against
his race, and the republican party had
failed TO exercise that power. The ad

which he has successfully handled be-
fore the Virginia bar can hardly be
counted within the hundred marx. he
is recognized as one of the best lawyers
in the whole comm onwealth. Nor
does he have to confront 80 much pre-
iudioe as is often the case with the col
ored lawyer in the South. The man
himself is SO fine IN character, 80 gen.
erous In spirit, that his most sincere
enemies in politics and policy, recog-
nize at once his ability, and if under
law he Is right, as is the Southern term,
1T is so and is hereby ordered"
Col. Lewis had been the candidate
for federal office but finding that he
was going TO be defeated, instantly
gave up his own campaign and started
in the interest of some good man OF the
race. So much unlike the average col
ored politician, who, finding that he is
not going to get piece OF the pie, be-
l1eves in turning the whole thing over
to my friend, Capt. JONES'" for an ex-
ample. The Colonel Is free from such
hypocrisy. II the republicans in the
New Port district want an independent
candidate for Congress, it has often
been suggested that Col. Lewis would
be the man, since he alone can win the
entire Negro vote and the independent
white suffrage.
In manner The Col. is indeed gen
tleman; easily approached, congenial
in nature; almost, sweet in disposi
ton; generous in spirit, a shrewd law
yer, successful editor, living exam
pie OF our unlimited possibilities. He
has expressed his desire to run an
eight page daily soon, with sixteen.
page Saturday evening edition, We
look forward for the paper. A thought
along this line, according to Col. Lewis
standard means it is halt done. The
Colonel's recent visit to Washington
was the occasion for much joy On the
part Of his hundreds of Washington
friends.
The colored American., 1900-10-27

If Mckinley is elected, and We are
just as sure Of that fact as we are that
William Jennings Bryan is an expo
nent Of Southern barbarian, In all prob
abilities the Col. will likely not be for
gotten when it comes to rewarding the
fait bful, His lamp was found burning
and for that matter is burning still.
Mr.. Lewis has worked faithfully for
the party ever since he has been a vot-
er. His service has always been at the
commsgd Of the party, and right
proudly has he responded to every call,
sW hen the saints are marching in"
we trust that our dlstjneuis friend
"will be one among that number. " and
the outlook is favorsble since he has
'kept the fa1th.''

AROUND MADISON.

Alder Gulch Times: A well posted
mining man said the other day that Madi-
sons gold output this year would be aft
least double that of last year, and it
would be no surprise to him if the yield
from this county would not lead all other
counties in the state in gold. "
we are reliably informed that VIII.
Wright, who is operating the Elheda I'M
der lease, in exploring the ground south
of the lava upheaval which cuts the Ell
feda ledge. has discovered the extension
of the VEIN. The ore is of the same char
acter as that north of the upheaval, and
the discovery is a most important one.
Inc kearsarge mine at Summit under
the management of Mr.. Damours is show
ing up well. Mr.. Damours is erecting a
2-stamp mill to handle the free milling
ore and expects before long to erect a
concentrator at them mouth of the tunnel.
This spring witnesses quite a deal of ac-
tivity in THE Sterling district, near Nor
ris, and a steady, healthy output from
the mines is reported by Hon. Fred L..
Gibson, who visited tina section last
week. Mikesell, McKennon & Drake, who
are operating P. V. Jackson's Galena,
were preparing to make a forty ton ship
ment OF high grade ore Monday. The
ore is the same class which they have
been shipping the past few months, and
averages $125 per ton net of all shipping
and smelling charges. A. r. Lands, who
is also working another mine of MI. Jack
sons, also made a car load shipment of
high grade Ofe. Mr.. Gibson says hat the
town of Norris is booming as a result of
the mining development in that vicinity
and he predicts will be one of the l~iveliest
mining camps in the state this summer.

RENEWED ACTIVITY NORTH AND
EAST OF SPECULAToR,
Edith May, Tycoon, Gem and Mountain

alton.

There is renewed activity in mining
north and east of the Spectator. owing
to the fact that several good strikes of
copper nave been made there recently.
Until this year no copper has been found
north of the Spectator. but recent de-
velopments show that good veins of this
mineral exist on the Edith May, Tycoon,
Gem and Mountain Chief, all of which are
in active operation. the Gem is said to
be showing up well, and copper glance
has been discovered in the Edith May.
Messrs. Mcintyre, Tobin and others
have taken a lease and bond on the Old
Joe Fraction north of the Modoc and east
of the Spectator n hope to find the
copper lead which it is believed exists in
tina ground. The Burke and Balaklava
will be in operation soon, all the litigation
over the awarding of the LEASE having
been settled Saturday in the courts. The
lease was given to Silas F. King. but, it
is understood that r.. G. Burton will have
charge of operations and also hold an in

as suits the fancy. This will make some
trouble, confusion and litigation should
the ground prove aluable in the future.
The weather so far has been fine, with
only one storm. Travelling, contrary to
all expectations, is much easier than in
the upper Yukon country. This it 10
which has made the stalking of so much
ground possible. Men can take a dog
team and &c anywhere with comparative
ease, the lack of wood being the only
drawback. Should the country back from
the coast prove good the expense % get
ting in supplies for winter will be small.
Nome itself has been very dull. The
number of men who ave been stamped
ing, many of whom are staying at the
different towns that have been aid out
along the coast, has prevented a h10m
in town lots, and the lack Of money
among those in town has resulted in The
closing OF many Of the business houses.
Even the saloons. with one or two ex-
ceptions, are losing money, but have to
keep open, expecting to make it up next
summer. All the business men are hop
ing that rocking" on the beach MAJ be
possible in April, and SO stop the drain
on their resources, which, as this is only
a summer camp, is heavy. m
Coupled with my Yukon experience,
this winter has proved to me that the
terrors of all these northern regions have
been exaggerated greatly, and that with
fuel and provisions men can be made as
comfortable, go about as freely and have
as much health Is in any Of the northern
tier OF states. There has not been a case
OF scurvy this winter and no late cases
OF typhoid, the camp being remarkably
healthy.
There have beer some cases Of FROST
bite, but not as many as might he ex-
pected, with hundreds of men in the hills
all the time and only dwarf willows along
the streams in the bottoms to burn in

dreaded by all, has as yet caused no
damage of moment, and people are be-
ginning to breathe freer and hope that
the town may escape.

To BITTER
MOUNTAIN CO,
A CORPORATION ENDEAvoRINa
TO FLOAT STOCK IN THE
EAST.
CONTROLS THE SNOWFALL
A FRACTIONAL PROSPECT.
~
Butte Correspondent Of the News Bur
eau Writes Opinion of the Prop
erty-Mining News.

Several inquiries have been made re-
Gently regarding the Bitter Mountain
Mining company of Butte which is cap
italized at 200, 900 shares, at a par value
of S. per share Considerable stock of
this company has been sold in the east,
and it is understood that Mr.. George w.
Savage, an experienced mining engineer,
who has charge of operations, is now in
the east endeavoring to secure more
capital to develop the mines of the COM
pany. So far as known every dollar re-
ceived from the sale of the stock has
been expended in development work.
The Butte correspondent of the Bos-
ton News Bureau recently sent that
paper the following:
Very little is known in Butte con-
corning the Bitter Mountain Mining
company, which is selling stock in Bos-
ton. According to it's prospectus the
company controls the Snowfall mine,
located in Mining District No Z, town
there is no such mining district and no
township of Butte the statement is cor
rect.
1.-THE SNOWFALL is a, very small fraction
of a mining claim, which was located in
March, 1898, northeast of the city, and
on the edge or the known copper belt.
The claim is about ITO feet wide at one
end and runs to a point eastward. 1t is
understood that the company has a lease
and bond on the Berlin, an undeveloped
claim lying north of the SNOWFALL, and
considerable work has actually been
done by the company, but so far MOTH
ing has developed to justify any great
hope or expectation that the property
will ever yield a million. No vein has
yet been found.
1.-THE company's prospectus states also
that the SNOWFALL is surrounded by such
big producers as the Spectator, Gray
Rock, Diamond, Bell and Modoc These
properties lie south and west of the
SNOWFALL nearly half a mile.
John Fraser of Boston, secretary Of
the company, was in Butte last week to
look into the property.
1.-The operations are carried on by
George H. Savage of this city, an expe-
rienced miner and promoter of mining
schemes, and he went east about a year
6 and interested some Boston men in
his latest enterprise.
ID The mineral belt of Butte is con-
stantly widening and extending in all di-
rections and the SNOWFALL is as liable to
develop a great vein as many other
properties in the district, but at present
1t is but a speculation and little more
than a prospect"

THE MONTANA STANDARD.

The Butte stockholders of the Mon
tana Standard at Marysville are pleased
with recent developments and several of
them will go over to that town next
Saturday to inspect the property. Dur
ing the past year about ST. 900 has been
expended in development. The tunnel
which was commenced owe a year ago
is now in $50 feet. Several rich stringers
of gold ore have been cut. but it is be-
lieved that the main ore body will soon
be encountered. 1t will give a depth of
about 900 feet.
