Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1900-04-11
OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF AKRON.
UPON A "TEcHNlcALITy."

UPON A "TECHNlCALITY."
The Dobson paper concluded its re.
port of Monday night'sCouncil meet
ing as follows;
Judge Stuart and Mr.. Flebeger
came together after the Council and
in the course of the hot remarks which
followed Judge Stuart said:
1.-The end is not yet. Mr.. Fiebeger,
have now lost all confidence in you"
The Democrat does not believe Judge
Stuart made such remark, but If he
did it was no great compliment to the
Judge, and certainly did not raise him
in Mr.. Fiebeger's estimation.
In his speech to the Council In be-
half Of Mr.. Amer, Judge Stuart used
these words, as reported by the Bea-
con: II appear here as friend Of
Mr.. Amer. i do not know how Mr..
Amer stood on the telephone cues
tion.'
When Judge Stuart causes this err
roneous statement to be corrected, It
will be time enough for Mr.. Fiebeger
to reply to his remark about "lack Of
confidence"
But the fact is that Judge Stuart
does know how Mr.. Amer ''stood on
the telephone question:" as the follow
ing will show:
In the spring of 1893, Mr.. Louis II.
Amer was elected to the Council from
the Fourth ward, having been nomi-
mated by the Democratic party upon u
platform providing that:
"The amount now collected for
the use of telephones is simply rob-
berry; and while the telephone com
pany Is asking for Il renewal o. It's
franchise, it ut the same time in
sists that the robbery shall con-
tlnue: Our candidates for Coun-
ell, IL elected, should waste no
further time In negotiating with
this monopoly"
Mr.. Amer had been u member of the
Council only n few months when he
voted to railroad through that body
the very franchise steal which his
party. in the platform upon which he
was elected, had opposed In such TN
equivocal terms.
An indignation meeting OF Akron S
citizens was called and committee
of business men, including Judge Il.
w. Stuart, was appointed to visit Coun.
ell at Its next weekly meeting and
implore it to resclnd Its unpopular
action upon the telephone franchise.
Judge Stuart was one of the spenk-
ers at the Council meeting at which the
committee appeared to make Its request,
and he said:
"One week ago we were startled
by the announcement of the pas
sage of the telephone ordinance,
startled as we have not been In
the history of the Akron Council.
There is n feeling abroad that
something is wrong somewhere.
Some believe there is corruption.
do not think so. Your constit-
uency feel that they have been
wronged; that you have taken
snap judgment upon them. Give
the people a chance to meet the
opposition on a fair basis. IL this
mater is opened up We can reach
fair agreement. If 1t Is not repeal
ed, gentlemen of the Council, the
people will think there Is some
thing to be gained by you"
MIR. Amer and FIVE of his colleague
were Indifferent to the enueaties OF
the business men, and when the time
came to vote they stubbornly persisted
In their attitude of favoritism to the
telephone company.
Judge Stuart was present while the
vote was taken.
Mr.. Amer's term expired this spring

They also manufacture the famous cam

Chino does not reason that by cheating
you he does not always enrich himself.
The Chinese ''coolie,' poor, wretched and
despised. has one good quality. He will
work. and that is something you cannot
say Of the native. On the hottest days
while the Filipino sits on his heels in the
shadow of a wall or dropping banana tree,

and country districts and he oftentimes
disappeared mysteriously-
But the Chino has not one whit OF
courage in his makeup. Greed is his sim
gle characteristic. His other characteris-
tics come in natural sequence. Often 1
have seen a Filipino strike a Chino twice
as large as himself and the latter would
stink away with meaningless grin and
take to his heels if the Filipino followed
him.
The Chinese intermarry with the Filipino
women to large extent. Their own Wo-
men are not allowed in the country and the
lower class of native women prefer them
as lords and masters to their own country
men. II is very common for Il Filipino man
to be deserted for a Chinaman. The for
mer lets the woman support him and the
latter supports her AS a consequence the
traces of Chinese blood are very noticeable
in the general population of the islands.
Nevertheless the race prejudice is very
strong The Chinese and Filpinos hate one
another with a Cordially that is amazing.
The Filipino is a natural agriculturlSt,
while the Chino is a trader: therefore, in
any business transaction the Chino will
gain advantage over the native and the

The Baptists Of the District Of Columbia
generally, and those belonging to the col
ored churches in particular are to be asked
to aid Holy Trinity Church of PHILADELPHIA
in its efforts to build an Institutional
church for the purpose Of better reaching
and gathering together the great masses of
colored people in that city in order that
they may he more fully developed in Chris
tan work and better fitted to become citi
Zens. 1t is stated in the appeal that has
been made by the officers of the church
mentioned that the people of the north
alone have given millions of dollars for the
Industrial, Intellectual and Christian edu-
ca ton of the colored people In the south
all of which has been productive Of good re
suits. Those interested in the enterprise
urge that while sympathy. interest and
money are being sent to the southern inStf-
tGuonS, the fact ought not Ia be lost sight
OF that the colured people who went from
the south to the north are In many in
stances much in need of intellectual, moral
and religious training.
1t is stated that in the CITY of phi'ads1-
phia alone there is a population OF about
10000, and that the larger portion of these
are outside of any church. The movement
has the Endorsement of the American Bap-
list Home Mission Society. American Bap-
It's Publication Society. Philadelphia Bap-
fist Mission Society and the PENNSYLVANIA
State Mission Society.
OF all the meetings which take place
among the Methodists of this vicinity dur
ing the course sf the year there is none in
which the membership generally takes such
deep interest as that of the camp meet

A WOman's Ways.

AIDA Ranney Brooke in Ohio State Journal
She will laugh while the tears still dim the eva
She Will sing song to cover the signs:
She Will fight for The mastery over pain
Full many untold battle gain;
Then over Il mouse will faint away
But thar is only woman's way.
She will take her place in the battle ~ life
And bear uncomplaining the brunt OF the strife.
Her strength and energy ready to share
And always trying smile to wear;
But in a dispute the last word she'll say
For that f. just wOman's way
She rocks the cradle Of life's greatest men:
She has ruled the world since the world began;
She can reach decision and act the same
While man spends the time in arguments lame;
But when she goes shopping she takes one day
For that Is just a womans way
