Let Senator Morgan brush up his

testimony humble though 1t be to the
value of the great work which Prof. e.

collecting and compiling such a valu-
able collection OF historical facts bear.

which identify the race with every i'm
portant event which has transpired in
the history Ofthe United States from
the landing at jamestown to the sur
render at AppOmattox. Such book as
Johnson's .histerp should have q place
in the library of every Negro family In
this country. cannot too strongly urge
upon every young man and woman Oi
the race the necessity of owning copy
OF this school history. 1t is revelation
and the author has gathered together
all the fragments Of history about the
Negro found here and there IN books,
written by white men, and put them
LOgether in concise form, SO that they
make q connected story, useful and
authentic history which l am glad to
learn has been adopted for use In many
Negro schools and colleges. Prof. John
sons history OF the Negro soldiers in the
Spanish American war is equally a.
valuable to The student OF Negro his
tory as is his school history just referred
to. Every important fact obtainable has
been seized by the author and made to
do duty In vindicating the courage and
herOism of the Negro troops in that war
The Crummell Historical Society, Al
bany,wil doubtless at its next meeting
adopt these histories and study them
during the winter. They both bear the
stamp OF scholarship, and shows care
IN their preparation and no Negro need
be ashamed to read them aud study
them. They are quoted at one dollar per

The principles of the democratic

When the brain and pen of Jeffer>

STRIKE IS ON AGAIN.

st. Louis, July 9-The strike against
the Transit company by its former en-
ployes which was declared off July 2nd
was ordered renewed today.
When the strike was settled there we're
some muttsrings OF discomfort among
the men over the terms OF settlement
and since then the dissa tisfaction has
grown daily.
Charges were made that tho company
had failed to keep their agreement and a
dozen or more instances were cited tend
ing to prove that there had been q
breach Of faith.
Mass meetings were held and commit
tees appointed to secure proof of infidel-
ity Oh the part Of the company.
At meeting of the Street Railway
Mems union the executive committee de-
tsrmined to call mass meeting Of the
street railway men and to recommend at
that meeting tina the strike be declared
on again.
The Central Trades union net later
and endorsed tho action Of the executive
committee.
The company denies that it inteu ton
ally violated the agreemept Of July End,
and declares its intention to live up to
every condition OF the agreement both in
spirit and letter.
Fred w. Lehman, attorney for the
company, appeared at the meeting and
offered to submit the question as to
whether the company had broken faith
to Joseph w. Folk, council for the men.
and bound the company to abide by Mr..
Folk'e judgment in the promises.
The proposition was ignored by q
unanimous vote and the strike was re-

A SPLENDID TICKET.

There is room for little or nc
complaint against the national
ticket the democratic party he's
placed before the country for rati-
fcation or rejection.
OF course, Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton was foregone conclusion.
Within the past few years he has
become the leading exponent OF
democratic principles in America.
Defeat has but served to widen his
mental horizon and broaden his
views. The man who four years
ago was pointed out as the "agita>
tor has grown with the years-has
become the acknowledged and un-
approached leader Of party which
stands for conservative Americans
ism and for the rights OF the COM
mon people.
Mr.. Bryan's associate on the
ticket, Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson,
has already occupied the position
to which he now aspires. He is a
man OF dignity. of force and of con-
viction. He is one of Americas
very Lest and ablest statesmen.
His position on silver has been
consistent throughout and in full
accord with the views Of Mr.. Bryan,
and on every other question he
stands firmly and squarely on the
democratic platform. He has the
breadth and ability to do full JUS
tice to the presidential Office should
fate so ordain. He is not Of the
brazen, brassy order Of Roosevelt,
but type Of the modest gentle
man and unassuming patriot.
The support accorded Mr.. Chas.
A. Towne by party to which he
did not belong and for the second
highest gift within the power of the
people to bestow was one of the
highest tributes ever accorded an
American citizen. 1t was only the
inexpediency OF nominating ticket
which was not straight and true
democratic throughout that handi-
capped Mr.. Towne's chances. He
would have been an ideal associate
with Mr. Bryan on the ticket, and
more than any other man in the
country, perhaps, is in spirit and
mind and high principle the closest
counterpart Of the man Of
Nebraska.
With united and not divided
democracy, as in 1896, there is no
reason why Bryan and Stevenson
should not go forth to victory.

VERDICT AGAINST ANDERSON.
swITzER AWARDED 81 800 IN THE SANDER
CAsE-APPEAL PROBABLE.

One of the most important cases on
the calendar for this term of court was
an action of slander brought by Leo
Switzer against LeGrand X. Anderson.
Mr.. Anderson is well known to large
number Of the people of Van Buren
county, and is one of its wealthiest far
mers. During the summer of 1899,
Switzer was a tenant of Anderson's, oc-
cupying one of the numerous farms
owned by that gentleman. AS is so fire.
quently the case between landlord and
tenant, difficulties arose between them
in regard to the manner in which Switzer
was fulfilling mis- contract. These diff
culties and disagreements increased as
time passed on, hard words passed
between the parties, and matters finally
eliminated on the 7th day of December
suit against Anderson, charging him
with having slandered him and laying
his damages at the moderate sum of
$4,000.
The allegations of the plaintiff were
briefly stated in our report of the case
(then on trial. in last weeks Northerner.
The defendant, in his pleadings, denied
having used the language imputed to
him by the plaintiff, and insisted il he
ever used any language of like import,
he was justified in so doing, and that
whatever he might have said of and con-
cerning the plaintiff was true, in sub
stance and in fact.
In his testimony, Mr.. Anderson claimed
that he did not call Switzer thief, but
that he said that he (Switzer) was using
his anderson hay and feed. He also
testified that Switzer called him hard
names and used vile epithets concerning
him. 1t was insisted by the defense that
the words Anderson used were not ac-
tionable and that they were true and
therefore justifiable. A large number
of witnesses were sworn on both sides.
The case occupied the time of the
court and jury for five days. L. j. Cavan-
augh of Paw Paw and NJ L. Howell of
Cassopolis were counsel for the plaintih.l j
David Andersen of Paw Paw. Dallas
Boudeman and w. G.. Howard of Kala-

jury were out for about two hours and
returned a verdict by which they found
the defendent guilty under two of the|
seven counts in plaintiffs declaration
and assessed the damages of the PLAINTIFF
at the sum of 81 500. $500 for injury I'd
