POLITICAL REVIEW OF THE WEEK.

A good point was made in New York
the other day against Mr.. Bryan by
Mr.. 2. 81. Curtin, a Democrat who
will vote this year for Mckinley. He
said: Il hardly think the party needs
a leader who takes all his law and
gospel from the speeches Of Mr.. Lin
coin, however able they may have
been. He is not the kind of a Demo-
crat whose leadership inspires me with
respect for its originality or great
ness" Republican patriots and states.

leadership in this country. 1t does not
originate; it initiates. 1t does not Lead
it follows. Lincoln's massive brain
has furnished Mr.. Bryan with all the
original ideas he has emitted during
the past four years. He knows Lincoln
by heart He lives in Lincoln and on
Lincoln.
Philip Jackson, a colored Democrat
of Charlestown, W. Va, presented Mr..
Bryan with the following and asked
him to sign it: 81 do not countenance

measure that discriminates against any

The Dallas Express. from which this
is taken, says Mr.. Bryan refused, say
ing he did not want any new issues
injected into the campaign
If Mr.. Bryan doesn't want new Is
sues injected into the campaign, why
does he set the example? He has
sprung a new -'imperialism"
and has sedulously labored with his
mouth to make it overshadow the real
issue-free silver-which he insisted
should be incorporated in the platform
adopted by the Kansas City convention
or he would not accept the nomination.
His words are in print showing that
before the convention had adopted the
platform he had made a fetch Of the
silver question; now he is using it as a
floor mop and exploiting imperialism"
as a paramount issue. The knight Of
the sorrowful figures, 16 to 1, Is an op-
portunist whose fine frenzy is only
equaled by that of his great eXemplar.
Senor Don QuiXote, who had his feel

dangerous enemies of his country.
The versatility of Mr.. Bryan is
shown by the facility and celerity with
which he has been able to shift the is
sue which is the only issue in this cam
paign and lug in supplementary ques-
tions which are not yet in formative
state. The fact that Mr.. Bryan once

so many parts in the political drama in
which he is star performer.
Charles w. Anderson, the new COM
mitteeman at large on the Republican
state committee of New York, has been
looking over the field since his election,
and on a recent trip up the state in
company with Senator Dolliver he
found that the colored Republicans Of
the state Of New York were very much
alive and very much in earnest in their
efforts to contribute to the election of
Odell and Woodruff. There are a
number of Republican clubs in Frost Of
the large cities, and cOlored Republican
voters are thoroughly organized all
over the state.
Mr.. Anderson, who Is vigorous and
forceful speaker, made a number of
speeches on this trip through the state
and will be heard often during the
campaign. He is one Of the most elo-
quent and effective young orators in
the state of New York.

Consider Well This Able Appeal
and Argument.
Extracts From IN Address on "The
tics" by Bishop w. d. Derrick.

The institutions under which we live
were founded in righteousness. It
was by no mere caprice or accident
that the author Of the Declaration of
American Independence wrote that
all men are created equal; that they
are endowed by their Creator with GER
tain unalienable rights; that among
these are life. liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" 1t is not by accident
that the black man is found upon this
hemisphere, dwelling among this great
people. These things had their origin
in the eternal council Of God. In pro-
portion as this germ thought is under
stood and appreciated to that extent
will solution be found to what men
are pleased to call the negro question
In the United States" If there Is to
be a negro question because the black
man elects, now that he is free, to re-
side in the land defended by his valor,
developed by his Drawn and nurtured
with his tears, then, like BanCuo's
ghost. the negro and his question will
not down.
1t Is therefore for the people as a
whole to say by their vote on the 9th
Of November next if the negro is to
become the dislntegrating element in
the body polite or if the murderous
methods of men like Senator Ben Till

In our determination to uphold the

inspired by no craven fear for the fu-
ture of the negro, who as long as the
republic lasts will find q place in 1t,
but we are solicitous for the good
name Of the nation and the peace and
prosperity Of the whole people, which
would be put In jeopardy by the sur
render Of Republican institutions to
the forces Of anarchy, reputation and
notification as represented by Colonel
William Jennings Bryan. We realize
the reincarnation of the spirit which
preceded secession, with all of its bane-
full consequences. Had the results of
the civil war been accepted In good
faith by the south and had not the
people Of that section been encouraged
by the Democratic party Of the north
to expect assistance In the reversal Of
the settlement, there would now be no
negro question. 1t is futile, however,
to evade the fact that nothing less is
demanded by the Democratic south
than the reduction Of the negro in that
locality to a state of peonage, without
voice In its government, protection in
its courts or security for life e. prop
erty. 1t Is equally certain thai federal
legislation, having as its object the ut
ter degradation Of the race, is me price
which the Democratic party of the
north is pledged to guarantee to the
south in exchange for power.
This insolept conspiracy is unreliev-
ed by single redeeming feature; this
towards blow is aimed at the people
upon whom the south is dependent for
the development Of its soil and the
conduct Of it's industrial system. Nor

BECOMING ALARMED.
Friends OF American Missionaries
Want Action Taken.

Washington, June 6.-The frle nds of
American missionaries in the disturbed
zone of China are becoming alarmed and
the state department is beginning to feel
the pressure Of their efforts 10 adopt an
aggressive policy. Today inquiries were
made as to the reason for the passive
attitude of the United States naval forces
In Chinese waters while the Ru ssians are
reported to have promptly sent out mill
tary expeditions from Pekin for the res
cue of Russian, French and Belgian sub
jects whose safety was jeopardized. It
was argued that the United States ma
rines should likewise have been des-
patched to the assistance Of the American
missionaries at Pao Ting Flu.
The only answer the department could
make was that Minister Conger, being
on the scene, was better prepared than
any one here to adopt relief measures,
for which he had already received the
sanction of the department In the shape
Of general authorization to protect
American interests, which, of course,
meant American lives, among other
things. 1t also was questioned whether
the very small force Of marines at the
minister's command could be used to
make march through hostile country
and away from its base. In that case,
the United States legation, the only
refuge in case Of an outbreak in Pekin,
would be safe..for American refugees as
well as for the United States minister
himself for the lack of suitable guard.
Meanwhile the dev elopments are being
closely watched and If the next phase

Boston Star Concert Company.

This celebrated organization of
skilled musicians, comes to Henderson
for one concert at Cooper Opera House
on Monday night next, March 10th.
Among the names of the artists are
some that are familiar to the music
loving public. The Boston Star Con-
cert CO., like the famous Boston
symphony Orchestra, has for years
been known as the peer Of all musical
organizations and while younger
class of great musicians has lately
come into this company it would seem
from the praise accorded them by the
press that they have retained the old
reputation. This season the list of
artists presented are, Miss Helen
Wrenn, late Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, Soprano, Miss Norma Eos
ter from the New England Conserva-
tory Of Music, Boston, Mass, Miss
Schloss the we'll known Cornet Soloist
and Signor Toriano, the Pianist. Our
people no doubt have treat in store
and this famous company should be
greeted by large audience that Man
ager Brooks Parham may be encour-
aged to bring more such companies in
the future. Seats on sale at Thomas
drug store.
