The court, camp, church, the vessel, and the

WHEN three such historic names in connection with the abolition move ment as those of George s. Boutwell,, Thomas Wentworth Higginson and William Lloyd Garrison, are affixed to an appeal to American negroes to vote against imperialism at the coming elec- tion, it is high time for negroes who prize the security of human rights for their race more than republican patron age for themselves, to take anew their political bearings. This appeal, which was published on the 4th, takes high ground upon the race question. Here is an extract that thoughtful Ameri- cans of all races may proftably con. sider:
 Every day in the Philippines is al- ready training our young American soldiers to the habit of thinking that the white man, as such, is the right ful ruler of all other men. This is seen, for instance, in the fact that these very soldiers in writing home letters from the seat of war describe the inhabitants of the Philippines more and more constantly as mig gers" thus giving a new lease of life to word which was previously dying out among us. Every defender of the war in congress sustains the contest on the assumed ground that the Flli- pinos are unfit for freedom, although Admiral Dewey at first described them as more fit for it than the Cubans; and Senator Hoar describes them to be probably better fitted than any race on the two American continents south Df ourselves. In other words, free dom is to become, for the new repub- lican party, a matter of complexion. Ii this doctrine is to PSevail, what hope is there for the colored race in the United States? The answer is easy; there is in that case no hope at all. h the name of the old anti slavery sentiment, we call on you to resist this great danger, even if you have, for that purpose, to turn your backs on the party you once had reason to love.
 The undersigned, trained from youth iu the strictest school of anti-slavery conviction, are following up the same early training when they now write to you. We wish to warn you that the imperialistic republican party of to-day is not the liberty-loving party of that name which set the American negro free 40 years ago. The time is past when you can safely give to it your implicit support. We warn you that the American negro must hence forth think for himself and must cut adrift from every organization which wars on darker races, as such, and be- gins to talk again of "the Datural supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon."

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

The stairway leading to the tower of the Philadelphia city hall contains 598 steps, and is said to be the tallest continuous stairway in the world.
 An enterprising young man with a big trunk stopped at Chicago hotel. When he left the discovery was made that he had removed the carpet from his room and carried it away.
 4 south side church in Chicago has a steeps on which arc lights are placed. The lamps are 225 feet above the level of the street and, as it might be imag- ined, produce an excellent effect and serve to effectually advertise the church.
 In some places trolley companies are cultiyating strips of lawn between the tracks, producing most pleasant ef- feet. The Electrical Review remarks that grass in the streets is now a sign of progress rather than of retrogres- sion.
 There are 2,360 central station plants for generating electricity in the United States. These plants are owned by companies having combined capital stock of $279, 4,610, and employing 1,159,7ss horse power in engines or water wheels.
 Fires on autocars are said to be be- coming numerous in France with the increase of automobiles. Many of these fires are due to inexperience, as, for in- stance, in Q recent case, where the at tendant foolishly tried to fill the reser- voir with petroleum without extin- gushing the burners.
 To North Carolina must be awarded the honor of being first to act as a col ony on the idea for independence. On April 12, 1776, its provincial congress instructed its delegates in the general congress at Philadelphia ITO concur with the delegates of the other colonies in declaring independency, and form ing foreign alliances" This movement was led by Cornelius Harnet, who was called the Samuel Adams of North Carolina.
 The invention of spectacles is often, but enormously, ascnbed to Roger Ba- con, who died in 1925. Further research has shown that in 1915 Savino Degi Ar mati, a Florentine, first worked glass into the form of lens. To him, there fore, may be accorded the honor of be- ing the inventor of spectacles. He died at Florence in 1917, and was buried in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, where his stone bears an inscription, which may be thus translated: Here lies Sayino Degli Armati of Florence, inventor of spectacles. May God for give his sins.-

Now that the democrats of Arizona are united and harmonious, they will roll up one of their old-tim majorities for Mark Smith for delegate to Con- gress. Pinal county can be depended on to stand by him, for this county owes him debt of gratitude which it can repay in no other way. It was due to Mark Smiths personal efforts that an appropriation of $20,000 was secured for the survey of the San Carlos dam, and as that great under taking is one of Marks pet projects he will see to it that an item is inserted in the Indian appropriation bill for commencing the work. His wide ac- gressmen is such that no man in Ari- zona yields one-half the influence, and for this reason, as well as for what hc has done and will do, the vote of Pinal county should go to Mark Smith unan- imously. His opponent, 0akes Mur- phy, favors cession of the public lands to the territory, and everyone knows that this means their gobbling up by corporations, stoppage of govern ment work already begun, and con- tinuation of the miserable system of canal management from which this valley has so long suffered. There ought not to be the least division of sentiment in this matter, for our homes and fresides are at stake.

Two years ago the voters of New Mexico listened to the siren statehood song of the republicans and elected q delegate belonging to that party to represent them in Congress; but we haven't heard of New Mexico becom- ing a state. Have you? The repub- licans are singing the same song this year, but it isn't attracting much at tention. The only hope for state hood lies in electing democratic president and congress. h 1896 the republican platform promised admis- sion for Arizona and New Mexico, and notwithstanding the party has been in complete power ever since, all we get is the merry ha-hal For politi- cal party that brides itself on having redeemed every promise" this is very amusing for everybody but ourselves.

BIG STORE OF STATIONERY.
The Department of Justice Conducts a WhOlesaIc Business fin Writ
 ing Materials.

"The department of justice runs one of the biggest stationery concerns in the country" said clerk of that de- pertinent. We have to do that to sup ply the various officials of the depart ment throughout the country. Not many years ago our stationery bureau was used solely for the benefit of this immediate department. Judges, clerks of courts, marshals and other officials throughout the country purchased their supplies from stores in their cities and towns and sent us the accounts to pay. By this method we paid the retail price for everything. We found this would not do, as the highest prices were paid for everything. Under our pres ent system every official of the govern ment coming under our department makes requisition on us for supplies, and we send them at little cost, most of the time by mail. As we buy everything at cost prices we save to the govern ment thousands of dollars each year over the old method of doing business.
 I've carry a stock worth at least $6,O0O at all times, and all the judges, marshals, clerks and others send to us for their pencils, writing paper, etc. It's funny, too, what strange fancies some of them have. For instance, there Is certain western judge who won't have anything else but red pencil which is peeled off when it is sharpened. We carry this pencil in stock for no other person, as not many others have ever taken a fancy to it. suppose he loses or misplaces all the other kinds of pencils, but finds this one to his liking because he can easily see it. Right here in the District of Columbia is judge who listens to arguments with six pen cils in his hands. He rolls these be- tween his fingers while he is busy. and never has less than half dozen. He is not particular about the kind of pencil he has. Other officials have peculiar ldas about the kinds of paper, pens and ink they want, and they will have no other. Thus, you see, we carry more varied assortment of goods than sta tionery store."-Washingt Star.

What su.erainty Is.

In speech delivered at Urbroath, Scotland, on September last, John Morley, the great liberal leader, said: And this brings me to the word suzer- ainty. It is said that we have suzer- aipty over the South African republic. Sir Alfred Milner said there is nothing in this controversy as to whether we have suzerainty or not-nothing ma terial. My own view of suzerainty is that it is a word which nobody of course can define, but it has got flavor of sovereignty in it, and yet it is not sovereignty; and that the Boers hate the word because it has got that flavor in it, and the war party in the Cape and in other places like the word because they hope to impart into it something or another which may enable them un- der mask of sovereignty to do things which I think they had better not do"
The Florence tribune., 1900-10-20
A Republican Tribute to Bryan.

The Boston Herald is compelled to pay MT. Bryan tribute of praise for the masterly speech he delivered at Indianapolis and to remark that it will be thoroughly read. It says:
 "The Herald, as is well enough known by this time, does not take the same view of the subject discussed that is held by Mir. Bryan, and does not support his candidacy. But to say of this address that it lacks the quality of full manliness, intellectual or moral, would stultify our judgment. Bis the utternnce of robust, earnest, compe- tent disputaHt on a high theme of statesinanship. We have no motive to overpraise it; but our feeling is that this speech will give Bryan higher rank among the statesmen of the na- tion than he has had before.
 "The significance of the speech to the Republican party is that it is high time for its leaders to quit calling names and get down to business. If they suppose that it is in the power of money, or party organizations, or art fuily fostered prejudices, to success fully oppose the effect of such an ad- dress on the minds of the intelligent plain people who constitute the over whelming majority of the electorate of the nation, they will make mis- take. Mark Hanna, with all the mill lions he can command, and all the un- scrupulous machine bosses he holds in leash, is not match for man who can talk to the American people us Bryan does in this speech. His ob- vious sincerity, frankness and direct ness will break through and demolish any fortress of material politics or chicanery that can be erected in its path. It will prove more effective speech than Senator Hoar's because it has intense devotion and indomitable courage behind it."

Farmers of the Salt River valley should take deep interest in the com ing election for delegate to congress. It is imperative that the water supply be increased. This can be done best by standing as one of the solid seven. teen states and territories of the west in favor of government reservoirs. Unfortunately Gov. Murphy is pro- nounced advocate of the theory of eed- ing the arid lands to the states and territories rather than to ask for federal aid in the construction of res ervoirs. The government dredges rivers, improves harbors and the like, and it is in direct line to reclaim the arid west.-I Enterprise.

shootine clay pIug. rnroueh 1ron.

The tallow candle which is shot through door must hide its head be- fore seven and half ounce plug of clay which has been so fired as to per forate an iron plate an inch thick. The velocity of the clay plug was tremen- dous. It has been estimated that the speed necessary must be over ]. 1.SOo feet q second. Experiments of this kind were conducted by Capt. Cooper Key, of the British army, at the Royal arsenal. A special gun was employed and pressed cylinders of raw dry clay three inches long and two inches n diameter were used. Eventually one of these plugs went through cast-iron plate one inch thick from a distance of not more than 25 feet.-N Y. World.
