ROT.


The spacious plea set up by j.
Madison Vance, q degenerate re-
preventative of his race, that if he
and his character are not "recog-l
nized" as political leaders in the
South "his color will be repudia-
ted" is the veriest rot.
No self-respecting or respected
colored man or woman has respect
for Vance or his class. He and
they are the fellows who have dis
credited the negro and brought
most of their troubles home to
them. They are the class which
such able and truly representative
colored leaders a. Booker WASH
ington denounce when he tells of
the new NEGRO party" formed by
such as Vance.
Il am not in politics, and have
never been," says Mr.. Washing
ton. Il am simply an educator.
/ do not believe that / have any
political preferences. My friends
and the friends of the negro are
ct all parties and religion.
"The mention of my name as q
candidate for Vice President on
the coiored peoples ticket is both
iudicrous and ill-advised I am
neither a candidate nor q politi-
clan.
"What do I think about the or
|ganization of the negro party?
| Well, I think q little less politics
and q little more work will have a
salatary effect upon the negro.
Politicians not only make strange
hed-fellows, bat enemies to those
who are prone to be our friends.
! "A coIored mans party would
|go forth with q chip on its shoul-
der, and what we want is peace

Let the colored people devote
their attention to the census emu
lmefators who are now among
them. The record of the advance
ment Of the negro rests entirely
with what they are able to tell the
census men. Whatever they have
acquired will appear to the good
of the race. Let Us have more to
tell the census enumerator and
less to tell the politician"
The colored people know the
Vances Of their race, and they dc
mot tolerate the kind. It is 10 the
Booker Washingtons, honorable
and honored colored men, to whom
the race is turning for counsel,
admonition and example. They
will settle the race problem, and
settle it when their race shall

War Begins In China.

There is much reason to believe,
shat when the forts at Taku open
ed fise last Sunday morning upon
the ships of the international feet
the signal was given for the be-
ginning of operations, which, in
all probability, will result in the
Chinese empire being effsced mp
ON tie map of the world. If it is
&rue'as reported, that the forts ar
ed upon the international fleet in
obedience TO orders from Pekin,
then'it is evident that China, to
use the language of the prize ring,
has served notice of her intention
TO fight all corners. bar none.
Iu Europe the facts is recogni-
zed that the long expected crisis
has come and war begun. The
powers are landing troops with
the greatest possible dispatch and
in ashort time an advance in force
will be made upon Pekin, as Rus
STA, Germany, japan and France
are massing troops at Taku. Rus
sia, however, is better prepared
for aggressive operations than any
other power for the reason that
she has large military force at
Port Arthur and has assembled
10000 men with seven batteries at
Klschts, $50 miles northwest of
Pekin. ttsa
The dispatches from Washing
ton announce that orders have
been csbled Gen. Macarthur to
send the Ninth Infantry from the
Philippines for service in China,
and they will sail on the transport

is alec reported that other regi-
meuts will follow at an early day,
and in all about 5000 well-equip-
ped soldiers now in the PHILIPPINES
will be ordered to China, but there
is reason to believe that Gen. Mac
Arthur cannot spare such a large
number of troops for only q few
weeks ago he cabled the war de-
psrtens1t Nat he was in, need of
additi61d forces and especially
several regiments of cavalry.
It is claimed that troops will go

SHERMAN IS DEAD.
John Sherman the Venerable Senator
/. from Ohio, Dies at Washington
this Morning.
General Regret Expressed through the
Country at the Death Of the
Statesman.
Suitable Resolution Will Be Adopted
by the Cabinet-President Will
Attend Funeral,

Washington, Oct 22.-John Shev-
man died at G:45 this morning.
The venerable statesman passed
away so quietly that those in the room
were not aware of it until informed
by DR.. w. w. Johnson, who was hold
ing Sherman's hand. Mrs. James R.
McCallum, the adopted daughter and
her husband, Champion Sherman, son
of the late Senator Sherman, and Mr..
and Mrs. Hoyt, nephew and niece, were
also present. General and Mrs. Miles
had left the house. Shortly before
midnight the senator lapsed into un-
consciousness that lasted until he
breathed his last. No definite plan
for the funeral 44as been made. The
remains will probably to taken to
Mansfield, Ohio, but probably the SER
vices will be held here to permit
friends to pay last tribute to his
memory, in which case the president
will probably defer his return to Can
ton in order to attend.
Washington, Oct. 22.-At 9:4O the
president went alone to the Sherman
residence to offer his coincidence.

Down in the Red River valley they
are urging fusionists to work for

state enforcement league is out for
him, and endeavoring to get repub:i.-

ing from the Grand Forks Herald,
the fusionists are taking another tack
IN the western part of the state. The
Grand Forks Herald says
IN recent letter received at the
republican state headquarters from
one CT the best known republicans on
the slope the following lines are noted:
"Wipperman made a speech in Mer-
Ger county lately, stating that the pro-
hibition law leads men to dishonesty
and hypocrisy and that he was op-
posed to it and favored local option
and license" Considerable import
ance is attached to the statements
at the state headquarters.

ANDERSON MANDAMUS CASE

FORE THE SUPREME COURT
THIS AFTERNOON.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)
Inc mandamus case issued against
Secretary of State Falley commanding
him to show cause why the name Of
w. J. Anderson should not be certified
as the republican nominee for the
judgeship in the First district, is being
argued before the supreme court this
afternoon. Judge Corliss appears for
the defendant in the case and Attor-
ney J. II. Bosard for the plaintiff An
derson. There are several points of
interest to come up in this case, not
able whether a convention called for
the purpose of nominating a repub-
lican candidate must nominate a re-
publican, and how far a. convention
may inquire into the politics of nom
inee. Anderson was nominated by a
part of the republican judicial conven-
tion, after an element of the conven-
tion had endorsed Judge Fisk.

grove from Wilton, whose wife is ill

to order out the engine from the yards
he learned that team was coming
down from Wilton and sent word for
Mr.. Pettygrove to come on that. Had

gone into the ditch without doubt.
Officials of the road and the county

ascertain the person or persons con-

one has grievance against the road,
who would sacrifice a number of lives
possibly, to vent spite against the
road. A long term in the penitentiary
would deter persons similarly inclined

Another old line democrat forsakes
Bryan. w. p. Mlller of Fargo writes
long letter to. the Forum, and con-
cludes as follows:
II believe that it will be found in
the future, as in the past, that the
party which will jealously guard the
provisions of the constitution of the
United States and protect them invio-
late, is that party under whose present
administration the national honor,
welfare, and prosperity is so we'll sub
served.
Il distrust the party which will re-
sort to the policy of arraying one
part of our people against another.
The democratic party expressly does
this, and it has so far succeeded in it's
effort during this campaign that it
has taken, upon one occasion at least,
the escort of his late soldier com:a les
our loved rough riders, to protect
from the assault, passions and hatred
OF the mob, so melted by democracy's
teachings, a man whom all Americans
should love, honor and esteem, the pa
triot, soldier, statesman and gentle
man, whose destiny it is, seemingly,
to be the next vice president of the
United States.
''The only seeming injury to repub-
lican institutions is this policy Of
hatred to which the democratic party
is committed, and escape from such
danger seemingly lies in maintaining
in office our statesman president, and
the able leaders and advisors who uelD
to sustain him in his leadership, and
in maintaining the republican party
in it's supremacy"
