IT is a cheap, unwarraned, ana
cowardly dodge, they are trying
to Spring on the Negroes of this
community. 1t is as old as the life
of Negro suffrage in this country
and they are still trying to hood
wink the Negro on the same thing.
They are always very much inter-
ested in the union of the colored
people and now one ofthe reasons
they hesitate, is because the
Negro is divided into two factions,
and If one side is favored it will Of
fend the other. 1t is hoax. There
is no foundation to the rumor. The
white republicans of this city
know the men who endorsed the
applicant for clerical position IN
this county. Many members OF
the Progressive Club have forsaken
their individual preferences for the
sake of harmony and racial ad-
vancement. And now the party
displays its selfishness in agitating
the friction business. There are
SO worried about that awful chasm
that divide the black people of
this county. The more we think
of the various schemes engineered
by some of the leading republicans
the more We wonder; if the
Negro will always be a chump, a
thinkless ass, and an Internal fool.
Let us act like white republicans
and watch developments.

SPECIAL SERMONS.

AN intelligent public, without
any question admits the advan-
tage of the pulpit and press, IN
the discussion of the religious and
Intellectual condition; and the peo-
pie are blessed in any community
where there is live and energet-
ic agency of the kind referred to.
This idea comes to mind, when we
know of a series of sermons. being
preached by Rev. W. E. GLADDEN.
of the ST. John Baptist church.
They are on a number of subjects,
and are especially directed to the
young people. He has taken con-
siderable pains in the preparation
of these sermons and are anxious
for the people to hear, and
think over them. In his list is the
theme of Environments" It will
disclose the Importance of the as
sociation of young people and will
explain how essential it is for
children to have good surround
ings if they would make good men
and women, when they have grown
fo maturity. Mr.. Gladden's line
of reasoning is plain and convinc-
ing and those who have not heard
him will be benefited, if they
would hear the balance of these
special sermons.

Larger Army yeeaxE. {.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. - xenatsr Proctor of the senate committee on mili- tary affairs and Adjutaut General Cor bin of the war department held an in- formal conference with the president Sat urday relative to tke legislation ts be asked of congress iA connection with tho proposed increass ef the regular zrAy. Under the existing law said Senator Proctor at the cenclazisp of the confer ence. the present strength of the array, G5,OOO regulars and 339o0 yoluE tesrs, will be reduced 0u tae first day of next July to 27,0Oo regulars. This is au as- surd!y small number. and congress will be asked by the president to rsorgauize the army upon larger basis. It will be impossible to keep any troops in the Phil ippines unless the srlay i. increased. to say nothing of the garrisou. fer the fsrts
 in this country. My own judgment is that congress will provide a regular army of about 55,OO0 or e0,O0O men, with dis cretion to the president to raise the total to 100000 if he finds it necessary.

There is not much expecta- tisn tkat prices of coal at the mines will xo lower. but there is no further advance in contemplation. and retail prices hav0 bssp materially reduced in various places.
