Capitalists and money. changers may
quarrel as long as they like over The
dollars and cents involved in tariff
schedule and will eventually reach
conclusions that will save the nation
from the temptation Of any departure
from right principles" but what we
want is an equal chance and fair play
in the stern struggle Of life. This de
mands immediate attention, and We
must not allow ourselves to be side
tracked from a steady, manly and
persistent agitation Of the subject. The
Negro has friends-powerful friends
among the white people, North and
South. There are Charles Summers,
Wendell Philllpses and Henry Ward
Beechers alive today. They need stir
ring up, and We fail to realize the
gravity of our situation if we do not
keep the iron hot. Economic questions
should be carefully studied, and our
ballot upon them should be intelligent
ly cast, but the paramount issue with
the Negro in the campaign Of 1900
should be a determined contention for
the natural rights which follow Amer
ican citizenship. If we just keep in
the middle of the road upon the ques-
tions chat bear most heavily upon our
interests, the people whose fortunes are
bound up in commerce and manutac-
lures will take good care of such issues
as are involved in the Porto Rlcan
tariff.

SATURDAY. APRIL %, 1900.
HUMAN RIGHTS THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE,

The Porto Rican tariff bill has
passed both houses of Congress and is
now a law. While there is much to be
said on both sides of the controversy
as to 'our plain duty" and the rsla-
tions of the Constitution and the flag,
we have not permitted ourselves to be.
come excited over the matter. The
peculiar conditions surrounding Porto
Rico and the immature character of
her civil government. render special
legislation and quasi-military super
vision necessary for time. We can
trust the President to administer the
affairs of the island in accord with the
purest American principles, The ap.
pointment of MIR. Charles 81. Allen as
governor il good start in the direction
of permanent organization. We have
no interest ia the issue, save in the
most casual way, as we have no money
invested IN Porto Rican products, and
little difference, if any, can be felt by
us in the price of the commodities i'm
ported from that island into the states.
We deem the low tariff provided by
the asw law, as simply temporary
expsdisnt, to bridge over an extraordi-
nary emergency aud dismiss it as such,
The revenue collected goes to improve
conditions in Porto Rico, and returning
as they do to the people, the nstives
practically have free trade, and We
avoid precedent that may one day
come back to plague US.
What the Negroes of this land are
most vitality interested in, however, is
the questi N Of "human rights" To
cur mind, this takes precedence over
all ether issues now occupying the at
tention of the country. How can we
secure the privileges and immunitles
guaranteed to American citizens by
the Constitution How can the majesty
of the law be sustained? How can we
get fair trial and an honest verdict
in cur courts? How can our lives and
property be protected? How can we
remove the distractions which bar the
way toward the opportunities which
are justly ours In the professional, po
litical aad industrial world?
These, brethren, are the burning
questions that appeal to the heart of
svsry Negro who Is loyal to his race.

DANIEL ALEXANDER PAYNE MURRAY.

Few if any will deny that the splen
did tribute paid our fellow townsmar
by Mr.. John E. Bruce is richly de
served. No man in the community car
truthfuily say Mr.. Murray ever de
ceived him in any matter between them
So high is his standing for honesty and
integrity, that his simple word is al
ways considered as equal 70 an oath by
by those who know him. He was born
in Baltimore. Nd. March 3, 1851,
and received good education, finish
ing at the Baptist Seminary in 1868
This has been supplemented by private
study until he has working knowl
edge OF German and an intimate knowl
edge of French. Bishop Daniel A.
Payne was his sponsor at baptism, and
Rev. James A. Shorter the officiating
minister. There are several points in
Mr.. Murray's life of great interest.
First, he has the rather unique distinc
ton Of having been kissed, while a boy,
by President Lincoln: 1t happened as
relate | to the editor under the follow
ing circumstances. William E Muir
deck the celebrated tragedian gave his
services for reading for the benft OF
the Sanitary Commission and the U. s.
Senate Chamber WAS secured as the
place. President Lincoln was expected
to lend the aid of his presence to the
cause, but was late in arriving, so the
reading began. Young Murray then
about eleven years of age was standing
in the door leading to the rear lobby,
when the President accompanied BY
Mrs. Lincoln and preceded by foss'
man bearing wraps appeared in the
lobby. Mr. Lincoln saw through the
open door Senator Wilson, of Massa.
chusetts, in the audience and requested
young Murray to call him out, this he
did and upon returning to the Presi'
dent, Mr.. Lincoln caught him up in
bis arms, squeezed lin slightly and
kissed him on the forehead. There is
probably not another man living, save
Mr.. Llncoln's relatives, who can boast
a similar experience. The next point
in his history little known is that Mr..
Murray was distantly related to the
late Frederick Douglass, through bis
first wife who was Miss Anna Murray.
daughter of Bamberry Murray, of
Queen Anne County, Md. Mr. Muir
