TOO MANY APPEALS MADE TO HIM.
Why Huntington Refused TO EndOw Chair in
Thro0p Institute.

PASADENA, January 16.-Recent-
ly Secretary David Heap, of Throop
Polytechnic Institute, asked Coils
P. Huntington for a donation OF
$4,000 for the school. In refus-
ing Mr.. Huntington penned the
following:
81 note carefully that you write
on the subject of an endowment or
chair in the institute for $40, 900 or
upward. and in response to that
proposition let me say that the
name of those who come to me for
money for this and other purposes
is legion. Ny daily mail is largely
made up OF appeals for help to re-
lieve actual distress and sugges-
tions similar to yours. The former
calls appeal more strongly to me,
| confess, than do the kind you
make, although | fully recognize
the good your institution is doing
and the admirable character of its
work. | have done, and am in
fact, doing a great deal for the Ne
groes and their schools and | do
this because the Negro has not had
a fair chance in the world and he
needs not merely the moral sym
pathy and support of the kind
hearted, but their substantial help
to put him on a footing where he
can stand among his fellows and
have, not perhaps an equal show,
but at least good working chance.
There are plenty of men in the
United States who are not only fl
nancially able to help institutions
like yours, but are willing and
often glad to do it, as all their
sympathies, through their training
and experience lie with such enter
prises. 1t is because the field of
helpers in other directions seems to
me scanty and I think, what money
| have to give away can be be-
slowed to greater advantage along
lines of more actual need. The
field of my donations is already so
large that | cannot in reason widen
it; hence, | do not feel that l can
accede to your request.-San Fran

THE RIGHTS OF THE NEGkO
Theme of Senator Pritchard of
North Carolina.

WASHINGTON, January 22.-At
the conclusion of routine business
Pritchard, OF North Caroina, called
up his resolution relating to the
proposed amendment to the con-
stitution of North Carolina, which
if adopted, it is alleged, disfran-
chises a large class of voters of the
State. After reading the resolution
Pritchard addressed the Senate in
support CT it, his address being in
answer to that delivered several
days ago by Senator Morgan.
Pritchard said the question in
volved the peace and welfare of the
Nation and the stability of our in
stitutions. The Constitution guar
anteed to each State a Republican
government. If Senator MOrgan's
contention prevailed there would
be pure notification. He said the
Democrats of North Carolina were
attempting to deprive certain citi-
zens Of guaranteed rights, just as
the Democrats of Louisiana had
done. Pritchard said that if Sena-
tor Morgan was right, then the
Democratic party ought to have
the courage to propose the abroga-
ton of the fifteenth amendment,
which gives the Negro the right of
franchise. He said the adoption of
the proposed amendment to the
North Carolina constitution would
sound the death knell to the aspir-
ations of every Zeb Vance Demo-
crat IN the State. While it is
claimed that the object of the pro-
posed amendment was to secure
white supremacy, said Pritchard,
the real purpose was to disfranchise
thousands of white and colored cit
liens, and thus create an Office
holding class. There could be no
fear of Negro domination in North
Carolina, declared Pritchard. be-

DEPUTY STATE STATGsTlCIAN.
The Recorder feels that the colored
people of Indiana have especial! cause
for congratulations in the recent ap-
pontment of Hon. Gurley Brewer to
the position of Deputy State Statisticlan,
which office carries with it salary of
5000 and travelling expenses. The fit
ness and ability of the appointee causes
us to feel that the office sought the man
and the fact that this ls the first time
in the history of the State that col
ored man has occupied so important
political position, shows that the Re-
publican party is alive to the interests
of the colored man, and that in the fu-
ture merit well earned and deserved
will be recognized. The Recorder has
all along contended that the Negro must
first fit himself and then seek recogni-
tion-he must represent something
more tangible than the fact that he is a
colored man.-Indianapolis Record.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Henry
A. Hazen, one of the chief fore
casters OF the weather bureau, died
here tonight as the result of in
juries received last night by a
bicycle collision with Negro
pedestrian. His skull was badly
fractured, and he continued un-
conscious up to the time of his
death.
We fail to see the necessity of
specifying the kind of pedestrian
unless to show that the one men
toned deprived the Government of
valuable employe, or that it is
the most dangerous. Possibly, if
the pedestrian had been white,
there would have been no serious
results to the bicyclist.
The Western outlook., 1900-01-27

The letter of G. P. Huntington,
published in another column in
reply to the secretary of the Throop
Institute, is splendid testimony
of his interest in the race. All
that he says about his gifts to the
Negro and his schools are we'll
known facts, but for him to make
such square and open declaration
as to why he favors the race is
strong language from a very strong
man. Such friends are very scarce
and there are not many men who
would brave public opinion by
making such declarations, espe-
cially where nothing personal was
to be gained. Just give US few
more Huntingtons-men who are
willing to give us a working chance
and much of the doubt and
uncertainty of the present will be
quickly brushed away. May he be
spared many years to continue his
good work in behalf of the race,
and may all the results therefrom
be such as to show that the seed
was planted in good soil.
