Corpofation Hoodlumism

COFDOR0tiOn HO0dlumi0m.
Daily States.
Il will be remembered that last
week when Mr.. Bryan was making
some campaign speeches in West
Virginia, the president of q railroad
owned by the Standard Oil Trust,
conceived the idea that it would be
q good thing to snub and insult the
Democratic candidate by refusing
to attach Mr.. Bryan's special car
to the regular express train and
haul it from Parkersburg to Wheel
ing. President Rogers act of dis
courtesy has been made the subject
of 4 great many newspaper articles
and held up before the country as
very fair sample of trust arrogance
and insolence. 1t has been con-
demned even by Republicans, be-
cause, instead of humiliating Mr..
Bryan as President Rogers intended,
he succeeded IN furnishing the Dem
ocratic managers with some very
good campaign material. The New
York World takes this view of the
matter and says:
s.Four years ago, when the Dem
ocratic candidate, William J. Bryan,
came to New York in the course of
4 campaign which ended in his re-
ceiving the votes of 6,5o2,925 of
his fellow citizens, the overzealous
officials of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad hast
ened to show their sense of courtesy
by hanging a Mckinley banner over
the doorway of the Hoboken station
through which Mr.. Bryan passed.
ga similar exhibition of corpora
ton hoodlumism, in this campaign
has been given by the Ohio River
Railroad-a Standard Oil corpora
tion-in its refusal to attach Mr..
Bryan's special car to its express
tram from Petersburg to- Wheeling.
in West Virginia.
Gas Mr.. Bryan was permitted to
purchase his ticket and reach his
destination by the regular train, nc
harm was done-except to the un.
mannerly corporation. The Ameri'
cans are polite people and expect
courtesy to be shown even to the
other side in politics in the heat o.
campaign. just how many votes
to Mr.. Bryan this Standard Oil dis
courtesy will be worth. in West V,r
ginia and elsewhere, it is not posi-
pie to know, but it will be gooe
many"

Educating Tho Negro.

Daily States.
The States elsewhere refers to
Representative Grosvenor's paper
in The Forum threatening the
reduction OF the South's representa-
ton in the House and in the
electoral college because of the
disfranchisment of negro voters.
In the article referred to mention is
made of one of his objections to
this disfranchisemen which IS
that it will stop all progress by the
race in education. In such an
event, he says, "the colored man
can look forward to simply lower
stage of degradation. He know
that if this scheme is put into
operation his children and his
children's children for all time to
come are to be in practical slavery.
This assertion on the part of the
Ohio congressman evidences that.
in common with the people Of his
section. he is either densely igno-
rant in the premises or deliberately
falsifies facts. If the South had
wished to arrest the progress of ne
gro education it could have done SO
effectually many years ago. Since
the end of the carpet-bag regime
the States of the South have had
Democratic administrations. Time
and again propositions have been
submitted in the Legislatures OF
these States to devote to the educa-
ton of the blacks only such reve-
nues as were collected from the race
through the regular channels of tax,
alton. 1t is to the credit of the
hearts of the Southern white people,
whatever may be said of their heads,
that they would never countenancs
such methods, and that they have
gwen to the negro children the
,, same free educational facilities the,
have provided for their own chill
dren; and, too, they have done this
when they knew they were aiding
or thought they were aiding, rac'
whose prejudices could not be mod
flied by education, If, indeed. b!
any other means, and who woul'
vote solidly against any proposition
either of National, State or loca
Importance, which was advocates
By a majority of the white people o
the South And this system will b.
continued, notwithstanding that tn
number of antagonistic negro voter
will thereby be increased.
We would here incidentally dis
claim any, the least credit for thi
exercise Of mistaken magnanimit
OF taxing white people to educat
the blacks. We have always con
tended, and results have vindicate
the truth Of the contention, that tn
negroes would be more contente
, and better citizens without a smat
tering of education than with Il
Thev enforce the truth of the say
ing that ga little learning is a daS
}, gerous thing" 1t mentally unfi
them for their vocation in lif'
makes them dissatisfied with manu'
J. labor and adds nothing to the
= material prosperity.

THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.


 An Unsigned Letter to Yale Professor
 special despatch to the New York Even- Ing Post yesterday from this city says: A prominent professor at Yale has received an anonymous letter from Manila, which says:
 1 have read your "Perils of Expansion, . and can say that every word of what you say Is true. I am here on the ground, and know that the position you take Is correct. I want to mention this fact, In connection with the Islands being a field of trade: It Is q great mistake, unless we first populate the islands to become consumers. The na- tives will buy little or nothing that we may bring here; they have food of their own. need little or no clothing, and no use for building material. We will have to culti vate their tastes for everything we may wish to sell them. More than 55 per cent. of our men. will be sent home infected with syphilitic disease. On the same steamer that takes this letter go twentytwo men for the insane hospital at Washington. They go on every steamer.
 I am very sorry that l can give you these facts, but cannot give you my name, as l am an officer of the government, which pre- vents my giving my name with the truth

manner spoke of the building of such institutions and urged that the rbeople present appoint themselves committees to do all in their power to fo rwapd the movement. Alexander Troup was the next speak- CT. He said he couldn't see Whk New Haven was as far behind, other Cities in this line. He said that the Gstat tblishing of free bath houses must come simply because they are necessities as they are conducive to good health. Mr.. Troup said the city could we'll afford To make appropriations of this kind and that if the board of finance did not make proper appropriations it was the duty of the common council to see that they did.
 If the common council didn't see to that, continued MT. Troup, Tit is the duty of the people to force the common council to do it."
 There is only one way of jdoing it." he continued, "and that is by getting together and all pushing for It,"
 Henry G. Newton was Hext called upon and made very humorous speech. MT. Newton hoped that the matter would be pushed atl once and that it would come to a successful is- sue.
 Judge Cleaveland was then called up- on by Chairman Miller Hq said 1t was a great pleasure to De on ghe platform with such notables as theI director of public works, grand master workman of the Ancient Order of United Work men, alderman-elect and referee in fof bankruptcy Tor the state of Connecti- cut.
 Judge CleaveIand further said. "I heartily approve or the proposition to nave pupllc path house established by the municipal authorities in this city, which shall be available to the masses either without cost or upon the pay- ment Of merely nominal fee by those NaValllng themselves or The privilege. 1 can hardly see now any pne can reason ally object to an enterprise so well cal cuiated to raise the tone of A large num- Der pf people, now practically deprived of alI opportunities Tor bathing.

MEDIAEVAL PLAGUE INSTRU-
 MFNTS.

In a lazaretto of Frioul, near Mar seilles. there is a collection of instru- ments formerly employed as part of the equipment of quarantine when persons suffering from or suspected of plague wee isolated there. Among thes eae gigantic cavaly sabres and bikes which were used to open buboes at a safe distance, and long silver rods, by means of which the last sacraments wee given to the dying. There Is a formidable looking appaatus which might be taken for an instrument of torture used by the Holy Inquisition this is a gigantic pair of pincers, in shape resembling the claws of a lobster, known as the corpse tongs; with these the bodies of those who died of the plague were consigned to the waters of the Mediterranean. The depressing ef- feet. of these ghastly relics is some what mitIgated by others of less fun ereal kind. Among these is the sedan chair of the Duchess of Angouleme, who in 1920 was In quarantine at Fri oul on her return from Naples.-British Medical Journal.

DETERRENT VIEWS.

It seems that the sermon delivered last Sunday morning in Plainville, by Rev. Alexander Hall of New Haven at the Congregational church is looked at from different points of view by differ ent members of the church. Some of the members are inclined to the belief that Rev MT. Hall did not mean Plain vile Congregational church members alone, but that he meant church goers and church members in general. Others apparently are of the opinion that Rev MT. Hall after announcing that he was not candidate for the pastorate of the Plainville Congregational church, allud- ed almost wholly in his sermon to the Plainville Congregational church.
 Word is expected daily from Rev. Gle ment G. Clarke as to his acceptance or declination of the call extended by the church,-New Britain Herald.

 Haven Conclave Last Night
 The people who happened to be on the streets in the central part of the city yesterday were surprised to see Driver Patrick Blake of the central police sta ton led along the street handcuffed by Detective Captain Cowles and Detective Donnelly, Blake's acquaintances, knowing of his general uprightness, wondered why he should be so shackled. For the benefit of those 1t may be well to state that he was the victim for a mock trial of New Haven Conclave, Im- proved Order of Hepasophs. The con- clave decided some time ago to hold q mock trial, and after casting about for a victim for some time, hit upon Blake, who was according charged with the nefarious charge of keeping a harem. He was placed under fake ar rest at o'clock yesterday afternoon by the two detectives, who, are members of the conclave, and was taken to the con- clave lodge room, the blue room of the Masonic Temple at the conner of Chapel and Union streets. and kept there on crackers and water until the conclave opened in the evening. Captain Wood ruff of police headquarters was to have been judge at the trial, but in his ab- sence James J. Brennan acted as judge. City Clerk Henry Norris was counsel for the prisoner and Alexander Troup. jr., acted as prosecuting attorney. There were sixteen jurymen. Three witnesses Captain Cowles, Eli Manchester and Detective Henry J. Donnelly. The case was then continude for two weeks. and the prisoner was released under thirty cents bonds, furnished by Lamp Inspec- tor Henry Hopkins, large attendance of members of the various conclaves in the city was present.

A Change in F Food Doubled the Wages

A Change in Food Doubled the Wages
 The manager of certain large pub 1ication, who deprecates the use of his name in public, has experienced a cu- rious change in his general character by reason of change in the cells of his brain, brought about by change In food, and his experience is interesting as given in his own words:
 up to a short time ago I was always known, both to myself and friends, as a very mild sort of individual, obeying literally the Scripture injunction to turn the other cheek, and let people run over me generally, with spirit of thankfulness that I was permitted to be alive.
 Along last fall I changed my diet, leaving off coffee entirely and taking up Postum Food Coffee and Grape Nuts breakfast food. I had learned that these articles both contained the fine particles of phosphate of potash and albumen that nature uses to build the gray matter in the brain and nerve cen ters, so determined to see what effect they would have on me
 "'It was not long before I discovered that had changed in a most remark able manner My old mother wrote me that there was a great deal more 'spunk in my letters than she ever saw before I began to vigorously kick at any injustice. I am about instftuting a criminal libel suit against a party who supposed I would stand anything. I send a dish back that Is not cooked right, about three times a week. On the 31st of December last I demanded double wages for the coming year and found I had backbone enough to lay down if I didn't get it,-and 1 got it. I get clean sheets twice a week now. They used to take the upper sheet and put it under once weeek.
 q am able to do five times the brain work that ever have before. Tn fact I can get about anything I want nowa- days, and, to top it all, am perfectly we'll. A new world has been opened to me and I know exactly where the change has come from. It has come because I have been using a food and drink that have changed my whole brain and body. You can use this let ter, but don't use my name, for obvi- ous reasons"
 Grape-Nuts breakfast food and Post um Food Coffee are kept by all first class grocers and are used by nearly all first-class people.

 San Fernandode Union, Luzon'
 March IS, 1900. Mrs J. R. Palmer, New Britain, Conn. Dear Madam-Your letter of January 31 arrived to-day. It is with great re- gret that I am obliged to tell you that Lewis B. Palmer was killed on Wash ington's birthday in little fight we had on the Ambuayan river, about five miles east of Bangar. 1 was standing up a few yards in front of where he was kneeling and the bullet that passed me killed him. He was struck near the heart and did not live over two minutes. He, of course, died painless death, but I can't tell you how badly felt to see him gasping his young life away. Ser geant Davenport took his watch and the key to his chest. Captain Johnson has all in his possession now. Captain F. o. Johnson, Third cavalry.
 I passed a short time after and no- ticed a ring on his little finger and tried to get it off, but could not. Strange to say Samuel c. Davis was killed about ten days afterwards.
 You have my sympathy in your grief have just learned that previous to burial the ring was taken off and Cap tain Johnson now has it.
 Yours very truly,
