A Congress Of Negroes.

Huntsville, Ala, October 25.-
Eight hundred negroes from all
parts of Alabama and Tennessee
are holding their eighth annual
Congress at the Agricultural and
Mechanical College for negroes.
Not only IS the negro himself
brought before the Congress. but
his work is as we'll and exhibits
of farm products are a feature.
President W. 81. Councill called
the Congress to order this morning
and delivered his annual address,
in which he said:
aAs our footsteps diverge from
political walks they approach
industrial success and true citizen
ship. The negro will grow strong
and will crow into usefulness in
proportion to his contribution to
industrial development and not
political strife. The negro is seen
at his best in the South. Here
his labors are rewarded as nowhere
else. Here his industrial efforts
are cherished and helped. These
happy conditions will ( be
enlarged as long as the
white and black man will each
develop in his own sphere. Any
attempt to unraee ourselves will
prove fatal. So lin the future let
us as negroes not go around crying
race prejudice, but take advantage
Of such opportunities as present
themselves and make friends with
the white people,"

1t is not enough to have able lead
ers; it is not enough to have immor-
tai principles set forth in our plat
form; we must have loyal and patri-
otric citizens who value the privileges
of American citizenship; men who will
lay aside partisan feeling, and vote
along the lines of patriotism.
Patriotism does not alone consist in
shouldering the rifle, or girding on the
sword, and readiness to follow the
fluttering flag to far-off fields of glory
1t is a sentiment implanted in the
heart of loyal man, that will impel
him to study his countrys every inter-
est, i'll peace as well as war, to vote
right as well as fight right. Patriot
ism will dictate to the honest Ameri-
can voter that he study the economic
and Industrial questions, which will be
submitted for his consideration, with
an eye single to his country's welfare,
and with heart inspired for his coun-
try's glory; then we can have no fear
that when the principles set forth in
our platform are understood, and the
worth and merit of the men who car
ry our standards are fully estimated,
the result will be the overwhelming
election of Mckinley and Roosevelt
OF the duties of public men, the i'm
mortal Lincoln said: They should be
men who know and realize that the
first and greatest duty of this nation
lis to extend individual liberty to ev-
cry foot of soil where the fortunes of
peace or war may plant the stars and
stripes" Such men have we in the
republican party, and such are the
men whose names are presented to
the voters of the country for election.
to the high Offices of president and
vice president of the United States;
whose names are synonymous with
honesty, ability, loyalty, courage and
all the qualities that make men great;
whose ability in the highest council
chambers Of the land has been amply
proven; whose courageous loyalty
babe them throw aside the pursuits
and pleasures of busy, happy exist
ence and hasten to the battlefield, at
their country's call; and with the I'M
swerying moral courage, equally
great, to bid defiance to criticism and
follow the path of highest duty; and
these are the men under whose lead
ership the grand old party will in No
vember sweep the land for honest
government, honest money and honest
principles.

CARING FOR THE WOUNDED.
Admiral Remey Believes American
Loss to be Exaggerated.

Admiral Remey Believes American
Loss to be Exaggerated.
Washington, July 17.-Admiral Rem
ey has cabled the department as fol-
lows: Che Foo, July IL Today
we hope to get the wounded from Tien
Tsin either into the hospitals at Takl
or aboard the Solace. Communication
is very uncertain. The following cas-
ualties are apparently confirmed: Mar
ines, Captain Davis, killed; Captain
Lemley and Lieutenants Butler and
Leonard wounded; Army Col. Liscum,
killed; Majors Reagan and Lee and
Captains Moves, Brewster and Book
miller, and Lieutenants Naylor,
Hammond and Waidron wounded.
Total casualties reported IT'S. The
Russians and Japanese lost heavily.
Our loss is reported as 215, with about
forty marines. The number is be.
lieved to be exaggerated. The cities
and forts are now in the hands of the
allies. Seymour has returned to the
fleet and the ranking officer ashore is
Admiral Alexieff, at Tien Tsin."
The above was received at the de.
partment early and was copied for
distribution by nine o'clock. Before ii
was given out it was decided to make
some changes in the copy, the nature
of which was not disclosed.

Des Moines, July 18.-Governor
Shaw returned from Colorado yester-
day for the purpose of attending the
funeral of Senator Gear. II am I'M
pledged and unfettered. and wholly
free to do as may seem best in the
naming of man to succeed Senator
Gear" he said. The appointment, if
any, will not be made until after the
state convention, on August 1.
A difference of opinion exists as to
the governors power to call an extra
session of the legislature for the cleo
ton OF United States senator, some
lawyers holding that he mas no author
ity for so doing. It is claimed that the
governor is empowered to fill vacan-
cies when the legislature is not in
session. He would therefore appoint
for the term ending the 4th of next
March.
On March next year vacancy will
exist, and, no legislature being in
session, it will become the duty of the
governor to again make an appoint
ment until the meeting Of the legisla-
ture.
State Senator Hobart, who is can
didate for secretary of state before the
republican convention. says that IN his
judgment the senatorship could not be
used to influence the action of the
state convention.

Horrible Death.

Paulina, July 1s.-This community
was greatly shocked Saturday morning
upon hearing of the tragic death Of
leading citizen, Mr.. Thomas Aiken,
who was horribly mangled in now
ing machine. Mr.. Aiken resided
about six miles north of Paulina, and
was one of the wealthy farmers of
this county. About 5 o'clock Friday
evening Mr.. Aiken was moving tim
othy in large field and had in his
team young horse that seemed to be
very gentle and well broken to drive.
Under the circumstances it will never
be known how Mr.. Aiken got down in
front of the sickle, or fell there, but
the horses ran with him thus exposed
to all the horrors of being mangled
and cut by heavy moving machine.
A woman residing near the field saw
the team running and called her hus-
band, who went to Mr.. Aiken's assist
ance, but he died almost before he
could be extricated from the mower.

Milwaukee, July 1S.-Governor
on his homeward journey to New
York. He will return without delay.
The governor stated to the Associated
Press that he expected to begin his
campaign about September 10, but
the place of his opening speech he has
not yet determined.
The vice presidential candidate was
greeted by a crowd of about $1,000 He
was introduced by Senator Quarles
Eand was cheered enthusiastically.
When quiet was restored he said in
part: This is a campaign which has
to decide at the outset of the goth
century whether we are to stride for
ward with the steps of giant on the
path which has been set for us or
are we to shrink backward. l appeal
to the whole world that values prosper
ity. Judging the future by the past,
you remember that four years ago
our opponents prophesied we cannot
be prosperous if we don't have 16 to 1
silver. Has the prophecy turned out
lie? Don't trust them. They prophesied
misery if we won. We won, prosper
Try followed. Now if we should put
them into power you would see such
chaos of black misery distressing the
country as century and quarter of
life has never seen. l ask the support
of all men far sighted enough to see
where the material increase of the
country lies and not willing to see the
business welfare of the country sub
merged in a tide of disaster. l
q G tho nf oil acf
citizens and business men, who disbe-
lieve in anarchy l ask for their sup
port in the name of decency,i civic
honor and that liberty that comes on
ly with order, and l ask the support,
furthermore, of all brave men who
know that greatness of the nation as
of the individual comes only thru the
effort to stand with us as we make
this nation take her place in the fore
front of the nations of mankind"
After paying high tribute to the SOL
=diers of the civil war, the governor
concluded:
Thank God the iron and blood of
our forefathers who followed Grant
and Lincoln still exist in this gen
Grafton. May we show ourselves not
unworthy of the men who fought from
81 to '65, and let us do our duty and
at home and abroad uphold Mckinley
in the greatest political contest which
this country has seen since the close
of the civil war"

short stops at Portage and WATERFOWL
where several hundred people greeted
him.
