THE AFRo.AmERicAE IN OHIO POLITICS.

arena a man who has done perhaps
more than asy one colored man in
Ohio tosecure recognition for his peo-
pie. George A. Myers the stalwart
republican of Ohio; the man who had
no personal favors to ask of the party
in the shape of office, has for the past
few years been recognized as the lead
ing political factor in Ohio when it
came to Afro-Amerieans. He has
fought more successful battles, and So
cured more recognition for the race
than any dozen men Of color in Ohio
True and loyal as friend he gathered
around him coterie Of able AID pro.
gressive colored men who were with
him to the end in every battle. Now.
fairly and well upon the crest of the
wave of success, having achieved vic.
tory in every contest he entered. he
voluntarily retires from politics, state
and national, and like Cincinnatus, re-
turns to the plow. In all the years
that he was in pefitics Mr. Myers new.
er asked for office for himself. but at
every opportunity made fight for
recognition for his race. While it is
true that the time to retire from poll.
tics, in order to be remembered with
gratitude, is when one is in success,
yet there are thousands of colored men
not only in Ohio but throughout the
country who will regret to learn thatMr.
Myers has decided to quit the exciting
and fascinating game of politics, be-
cause of the great good they feel he
could yet accomplish for his people.
He says, however, that he willingly
and gratefully yields the palm to who
ever wishes to take up tho work, and
in retiring he does so with a full
knowledge that whater success has at.
tended him has been through the fdel-
ity and loyalty Of friends who were al
ways with him in every contest. He
would have retired last year, but
yielded to the pressure of friends and
his own desire to assist in the re elec-
ton of President Mckinley. With
fine business to yield up the beautiful
coin of the realm, a handsome home
luxuriantly furnished, and most in.
teresting family, Mr.. Myers will turn
with pleasure frem the excitement, the
animosities, the fire and heat of poll
lies to the pleasures that happy home
and compensating business affords.
As to who will take bis place; be
come the acknowledged leader. there
s considerable speculation, and wheth.
,r his successor will be able to hold
ogether the organization that MIR. Ny
'rs built up, the friends that he made,
depends largely en- the man and the
circumstances leading to his selection.
Myers, Parham, Green, Brown. Gilt
ord, Tyler, Cottrill, Copeland, Doll,
Reynolds Hill, jackson ct al have been
combination hard to beat. They
ave stood together in every contest,
heir motto being, Together we stand
4 victory or defeat" but defeat they
ever experienced.
Ohio has so many bright and able
len that it will doubtless be a hard
natter for them to decide on any one
take the leadership as Myers held it
nd the retiremeul of Myers, right in
le midst of success, and voluntarily,
Ill attract much attention to Ohio
ntil his successor is chosen.

Request For wnrshfp Denied.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-About the ,nly subject of popular interest discuss I'd in the very short cabinet meeting yes ierday was the application of the Rev. James r. Hill of Cannonsburg, Pa. for governmental aid in protecting native Christians in the New Hebrides islands. The subject was brought before the cab net by Secretary Long. to whom appli- :ation had been made for . warship in behalf of the missionary interests. The stands lie about LOGO miles east of Aus ,raliu and just north of New Caledonia. They have been under a divided French md British protectorate. There was a general disposition on the part of the cabinet officers to do everything proper md possible to meet the request of the missionary interests, but it was found that to send warship to this part of the world would require trip of about LOGO miles from the nearest American !tation, and the navy department has no vessels now available for such service 1t also was reported that French and British gunboats patrol those seas and doubtless would seek to prevent any such lttack upon the native Christians as is said to have been planned.

The Carrara Quarries heretofore have been rontrolAd by a large number of small owners. who have been constantly war ring with each other. The consolidation 1t is believed, will result not only in largely increasing the output of these i'm oortant quarries, but will largely reduce he cost of production. Negotiations have been in progress in London, but it is un' lerstood that Senator, Proctor quickly :ook up the scheme which is now being completed. The price is understood to approximate $1O.0Cn.0Oo.

PLAYERS TURNED DOWN.
The National League Magnates Ignore
 Their Demands.

Anybody who thought the National league of base ball clubs had a Cans streak In it's makeup was disappointed. The National was confronted in the same ring by two OppOnentS-thc American league and the players. \ hook On the jaw put the American down and out and left shift to the solar pleXuS made the players long for home and mother. Having declared itself it now remains for the American and the players to show if they really desire q fight
 So far as the proposition of Ban JohnsOn's American league to get on an equal footing with the National is concerned, the latter body has not in dicated by word or act that it knew Ban Johnson and his league were in existence The only notice taken was the granting to Hickey. of the West ern league of franchises in several of JohnsOn'S cities.
 As to the playf~ league decid- cd it would be prci to individual interests and destructive to organized base ball to grant their requests.
 It was decided that no club shall carry more than sixteen players after May 15.
 The playing schedule for 1901 will consist of 140 games, beginning April IS and ending October c.
 Empires are to be scheduled equal ly as to the number of games, each ottl- cial to visit every city in the league.
 An amusing incident occurred short ly after o'clock. A messenger pur- porting to be from President young came down stairs and notified Zimmer and his associates that they would be received in the gentlemen's parlor on an upper floor The three players started up the stairway three steps at a time, followed by half a hundred re porters. Upon arrival at the gentle . mems parlor it was found deserted and q search warrant could not have found the league president or his associates. i There was q goodly amount of gOs- sip about the corridors relative to the annual trading of players. Chicago is making a strong bid for Doyle. and yesterday offered the new infielder. Strang. and Pitcher Garvin in eX- change.
