The Negro's Friends.

A Boston paper delights in the
use Of vile language slandering the
people OF the South. We will not
honor it by mentioning its name.
1t says that the much despised
negro Of the South is far superior
to the gentlemen" Of that section.
This is but a divergence in order
to strike a cowardly blow at the
South. We would just ask our
deiamers and negrophilists Of the
North, who was it that took a race
OF people that in their native jun
giles OF Africa are buc little re-
moved from the gorilla, and in the
short space oftWo centuries accom-
plished for them that which forty
centuries had failed to dor The
wisdom and learning Of the ancient
Egyptians Kindled no light Tor
them. The seeds Of Christianity
perished in the soil OF Africa: and
not until the nineteenth century,
on American soil, has the negro
been admitted to equal privileges
and equal rights with the white
man. II it is true that he is in all
respects equal to the white race,
who was it that prepared him for
this sudden change and escape
from bondage to freedom2 Was
it the people of the North1 No
1t was the Southern people who
raised him from his savage condi-
ton, taught him as much Of the
great principles Of virtue and NOR.
ality as he was capable OF acquir-
ing, and transformed him into a
being who, according to Mr.. Ham
Inns theory, is the peer Of the
white people of the South. Has
the South anything to blush for in
this?
The dilemmai is palpable. Ifthe
negro is capable OF spontaneous
development and progress, why,
in his native land, has he never
risen out oil his savage state2 Il
slavery was the brutalizing and
degrading system that its enemies
asserted, how is it that its product,
the Southern blacks, are so fit to
! discharge the duties OF citizensf
All difference, be it more or less,
between them and their savag
ancestors has been the fruit OF a
few generations OF slavery. We
Of the South are glad that slavery
no longer exists: all we ask is that

ems

The Administration Press Threat
ems.
The Republican papers threaten
J. J. Lentz, Andrew Carnegie,
Bryan, Hoar and other prominent
men, who have expressed them
selves openly against McKinley's
war in the Orient, with arrest and
imprisonment. These men have
only exercised their rights OF free
speech and cannot be held nor con-
victed bv any court in the United
States. Things are nearing a eli.
max. and these charges Of treason
are to be brought by military au-
thortics. This is the way Emperor
Mckinley will endeavor to circum.
vent the laws OF his country, sup.
press free speech, and try those
statesmen who have offended him
with treason, and put them before
a military tribunal. That this is
true we prove by calling attention
to the Associated Press report, an
nouncing that General Otis has
sent on sufficient manuscript to
convict OF treason men like Sena-
tor Hoar and J. !. Lentz, The
papers last Wednesday announced
further that J. F. Bash, Of Ohio, a
private, will be tried for treason
for sending information concern
ing the Filipinos to Mr.. Lentz, an
American Filipino, etc. More ma
terial is now being prepared by the
autocra. Of the White House to
incrIminate, inhmidate and do
away with those few liberty loving
men who see and are showing up
the dangers that are threatening
our liberties, and the Rep Iblic.
We are proud of the position
Lentz has taken, and we know that
he as a German-American cannot
and will not be frightened from the
course OF righteousness.
Once more we entreat and call
upon the minority to stand by the
Republic and liberty. Show the
imperialistic majority up to the
people before it is too late.

clement and the SENTINEL agrees
with Mr.. Sulzer, OF New York, that
he should be impeached. The
Treasury Department, it seems. is
no longer the safe OF the Republic.
1t is mere agency Of the National
banks, responsible TO their will and
pliable to their manipulations. Sui

mates this Administration. We
want the facts; we want to get at

AT THE TIL EATRE5.

To enumerate all the little things that
are necessary to make up a good play
would require much space, but suffice It
to say that if the author evolves a good,
clever and interesting story and puts his
lines into the mouths OF we'll drawn
characters he has started right funda.
mentally. Some authors never give
sufficient thought to Characterization.
They write plays that promise much, but
their characters do no: seem real and
tail 20 gam sympathy. All Of this tends
TO make one believe that play building
is an intricate job, and so it IS, Many an
author dazed by the profits earned by
successful plays has taken to writing TOR
the stage and found that while he could
turn out readable books he could not
praiseworthY dramas. Simplicity must
be aimed at in writing for the stage and
a very good example in this regard is
William II. Cranes new comic play,
"A Rich Mans Son." which is to be
presented at the National Theatre next
week Here is a play that treats OF a
stormy period IN the life ol an old man
who sends his boy to college and then
abroad and finds him upon his return a
brainy ass full Of odd notions and queer
Conceits. Too fond OF the boy to kick
him out of doors to earn his own living
he decides to teach him lesson, to give
him a tasie Of hardship and knock into
the head so full Of strange theories the
old lesson that there is no romance in
poverty. The story is told direct and
poIntedly and is handled in so merry
and light a manner that a work that
sticks pins in gocialism and satirizes its
preachers is one OF the most amusing
the stage has had in many years. The
play made a most substantial hit in New
York and comes from the pen ol Michael
Morton. In it Mr.. Crane has one OF the
most amusing and diverting characters
that has fallen to his lot in years The
repertoire for the week will be Monday,
Tuesday. Wednesday and matinee

on Friday and Saturday nights and

comedy "a Virginia Courtship" This
comedy met with a vast amount Of
success and it is owing 10 the favor with
which it was accorded last season that
