outlet for the extension of slavery waa
desired; but even in that q falling
from grace is now witnessed.
might mention other points of diff
ference, but think this sufficient te
show that I could not be an homes,
democrat, even if had grievance
against the opposite party-which ]
have not.
I do not care to deal In personaH
ties, hence I need not to say much
about candidates. But may remark
that I have seen nothing to change
my very high opinion of President
Mckinley.
He has certainly done as well by nv
people as any president we have ever
had. Much better than some who
have been held in higher esteem by
leaders of the Afro-American race.
In my opinion, he has done more
for the material development OF the
nation than any president we have had
since the foundation Of the govern
ment.
Perhaps it may be said that he has
had better opportunity than any.
Admitting that, it still remains that
he has been fully equal to his great
opportunity. Even his opponents
praise his Chinese policy. But how
could he have had hand in that i'm
portant matter if he had scuttled out
of the Philippine islands, a. some
claim he should have done?
I think it must be admitted that the
delegations OF the powers OF the
world at Peking eve their salvation
to the wisdom of Mckinley. And with
out the base of operations he had in
the east he would have been power
less, and could only have viewed with
horror a fearful tragedy at great
distance.
This nation enjoys . respect among
the nations it had never enjoyed be-
fore.
If great international war is avert
ed at this time the credit will be due
to Mckinley more than any other
man on earth. And it seems to me
that all who have any interest in the
nations credit, welfare or destiny
must support him now.
The great battle between Christian
ity and heathenism seems to be ap-
preaching, and the Christian powers
will do well to be careful in the Sc
lection of their standard bearers.
The race question will dwindle into
insignifcance inside of q hundred
years.
The Afro-American will be called
for by and by to stand with his white
brother in the contest which is to
open the way for Christian civihza-
ton in all lands.

my people much excited over it. And
l do not blame them for the feeling
manifested
For the Afro-American who forsakes
the interest of his people at this time
deserves their contempt.
They are not ignorant respecting
political conditions, as some profess to
think. They understand the situation
and know how to vote. Neither are

believe.
1t IS true that large numbers in
some sections failed to vote, but It
was not the result OF indifference, but
because they were not permitted to

SHOOTING AT SILVER CROWN.
Earnest C. Ames Wounded in Two
Places by Horace Adams.

When men are shot over mining
claims, the same must be valuable and
a deplorable shooting affair at Silver
Crown may carry the inference that
property in the camp is beginning to
carry a high value.

Neither will prove serious.
Clason and Ames state that they went
over to examine a prospect belonging

young Adams claims for his father at
