Referring to the construction of
this railroad, Platt said the names

been used in connection with the
projac', but they had entered vigor-
GUS denials of any connection with
it, although to his mind such deni-

Bacon, be said, demanded TO know
why our Government was in Cuba,
and why it did not come away.
1--WE are there" Plat answered,
because we have been sent there bv
the American people; because Con-
gress has sent our army there to de.
stroy the power of Spain. We have
duty yet to perform there, and
the American people will see to it
that it is discharged. Our military
control OF the island will cease when
the people set up for themselves a

OF the island"

"That time will be delayed long,

So many people have what is called
dyspepsia without having the slightest
suspicion that catarrh of the stomach is
the cause. Such people take pepsin and
q thousand other things, vainly hoping
to get well. But the catarrh remains,
and of course the dyspepsia remains.
Pe-ru-na cures these cases permanently
by removing the cause, which is catarrh.
Pe-ru-na has cured more cases Of dys-
pepsia than any other remedy in the
world. Address DR.. Hartman, Colum-

was full Of good points and timely hits.
HIs illustrations were of a charac-
ter to make his ideas plain and
clear TO the dullest as we'll as to the
brightest minds in his audience. He
made the point that it was the duty OF
the colored people to concentrate their
sfSorts. the energies and in their mon
eys into channe where the race Itself
would bsuefitted, By illustrations he
showed that the Negro was his own
worst enemy from the fact tnat instead
of putting thsir money into concerns
of their own race, they gave 1t to white
people who refused employment to the
bows and girls Of the race but who readi
Iy and willingly accepted the money of
the rscs and built up large and success
ful Institutions ON 1t. His appeal
was magnetic and he carried his audi
ence With him. In the middle Of bic
address he was Interrupted by Rev.
George ". Lee, the pastor of the church,
who came in TO explain the cause of
his absence. DR.. Lee is always elo
quent and explained in a five minui es'
talk to the audience that his absence
was not to be taken rs an evidence OF
any lack of interest in the meeting or
in the work of the True Reformers
he said he was True Rsformer him
self but that other duties which also de-
mAnded that the interests Of the race
be looked after called him away from
the meeting. He was applauded fter
telling number of humorous anecdotes.
Mr.. Kyle wound up his eloquent and
sensible talk amid loud applause. Mr.
O. @. Dixon then introduced Chief j.
Z. Robertson, who after ap0logizing for
the absence of President Taylor, said
that the mission of the True RefOrmers
was 80 great and it's principles and
platform so broad that any number OF
persons might exhaust their infoTma-
IiOn in telling of the good work and yet
leave great deal unsaid. Mr.. Kyle's
theme was to show the possibilities OF
the Negro in combination, concen
TatiOn and cooperation. Mr.. Robert
sons theme was to show what had
been accomplished by these three agen-
eles through the True Reformers. He

practical way the methods by which |
not only the different Fountains. but |
by which the bank was conducted, In
answer to q question he showed how
the bank could afford to lend money
and how the real estate feature of the
oa' K was making from Is TO 40 per
cent. on it's Investments. A most
telling illustration OF his was, few
years ag) while Mr.. Cleveland Was
President, and when the panic had
struck all parts Of the country that the
white banks OF Richmond had refused
to advance money to large depositors
even for small amounts. He spoke OF
the fact that the treasurer of the school
system of Richmond after having gone
to all the white banks in Richmond
and was refused by them to advance
money to the school teachers, that as
last resort he had gone to the True Re-
formers Bank. He telephonsd to the
company asking for the loan and was
told that he could get the money.
Thinking, perhaps, that the cashier
Mr.. r. I. Hill, did not understand him,
| the uperintendent called him up again
and repeated his request when he was
told by the cashier, Mr.. Hill, that he
could not only get the amount he
wanted but twice that amount il ne
desired it. (This statement was re-
celved with deatening applause).
Mr.. Robertson then called attention
to the fact that discrimination wss
being heaped upon the colored people
every where; that i'll Washington where
the colored people constitute one-third
of the population, they had little, if
any representation in the business
world. He spoke of the absence of shoe
stores, clothing stores, dry goods stores
and other commercial enterprises oper
atsd by cOlored people In Washington,
and EN- mphasIzed the fact that the lack
of these enterprises kept young colored
men and young colored women who
are graduating from our schools every
year. out of employment. Then he
showed by facts aud figures the large
amount OF money spent by colored peo-
pie and explained in graphic language
what the real mission of the True Re-
formers was. After recspituiating the
work already done, he spoke of it's
future possibilities and of the fact that
It's operations extended from the At
lantic to the Pacific and from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf; that 1t was the wish
Of the president, Dr.. Taylor, that the
magnificent property now owned in
this city to be used for the establish.
ment not only of bank but for other
business enterprises. His speech had a
most telling effect. Not person left
the audience although it was after ten
O'Clock when he finished his address.
The True RefOrmers are to be conerat-
ulated for sending two such able and
eloquent young men as Mr.. Robertson

Washington, Sept. 1T.-There have
been enumerated by the twelfth cen
sus to date us cities, with something
more than 11.OOO,O0O of the inhabit-
ants of the United States. or less than
n quarter of the probable total popu
latiOn. This count is confined to cities
exclusively and the percentage of in
crease from 1890 to 1900 cannot be le
Ultimately applied TO the whole coun-
try. The whole increase noted Is thir-
ty-one per cent, while during the de-
cade from 1850 to 1890 II was less than
twenty-five per cent In 1890 the to-
tai population of the country was o..
600 80. but in that year the Indians.
Alaskans and Hawaiians We're not In
cluded. Had they been the population
would have been increased to 63,21S,
600. Counting these people in the pres
ent census will add materially to the
total, bringing ii above 75.OOOOOO.
The percentage of increase in the
country has been less than in cities
and it is thought the average rate of
growth will be from twenty to twenty
four per cent. Figuring on n twenty
two per cent. increase. the population
will be 76.399.145. Add to this the
Indians and the people of Alaska and
Hawaii and the total from the whole
country will fall a little short of 80

Tho Length OF His Letter.

There has been some criticism of Nc
Kinley's letter of acceptance because
1t was long. But as the President had
TO give an account of his stewardship
since he is up for Il second term. the
obligation on him to make Il clean
breast of it was strong and he has done
so many big things that it was impos-
sible to put it in Il nutshell.
Mr.. Bryan has been holding back his
letter until after the appearance of the
Presidents, because he wanted to re
ply" But 1t will be very hard to an
swer McKinley's modest narrative of
the great things accomplished by this
government since he has been its
president.
Mr.. Bryan never having done any
thing but talk during or before the
four years last past, cannot refer to
his record of deeds. but will have to
confine himself in describing the
great things he has said. And perhaps
it will take him longer even to tell
that than it did Mckinley to give n
synopsis of his doings.-Nebraska State

of the plan to have the temperance
women of the several states pray for
the defeat of President Mckinley have
been rebuked, and the attempt to
make the w. C. T. L. an annex of the
Bryan political machine has utterly
failed
This was inevitable. The appeal to
pray for the defeat of Mckinley was
addressed to women of common sense
and patriotic impulse as well as TO
those who are simply hysterical fnnat-
les. Women whose husbands. fathers,
or brothers are earnest Republicans
We're asked to pray for the defeat of
the Republican party. They were ask
ed not to pray in secret. but to make
public record of their irrcverencc. They
were not only to pray as individuals,
but as an organization. and To do their
utmost to make this new scheme of
electioneering successful.
The sheer effrontery of the PROPOSE
ton certainly put the w. C. 7. U. in a
bad light. Women who have con-
demned the elcctioneering methods of
the INSCRIPTIONS ward politician We're
made to appear ms indorsers of an
electiOneering scheme which for irrev-
erence and inpertinence has never been
equaled in Panel House politics. Had
the movement been encouraged by the
national officers of the w. c. I. U. the
usefulness of the organization would
have been at an end. But. happily for
the organization and for the good
