HEAVY DAMAGE SUITS.

More recent reports declare that
the state of New York and the city
of New York are confronted with
another trouble arising out Of the
recent riots, and it is that the Ne
groes all over the country are rails
ing a fund to employ the best legal
talent in the country to aid those
Negroes who were SO shamefully
abused by the police and their ''for-
eign devil henchmen to enter suits
in the courts for damages. This
same later report declares that Tam
many's henchmen are responsible
for the trouble, and that the Ne
groes, who have heretofore been
strong allies to that Democratic or
ganization, strong enough in many
instances to change the entire com
plexion of the political situation in
Greater New York, have threatened
to desert the Tammany Tiger to a
man unless some satisfactory ar
rangement and explanation is made
by Tammany. From a Democratic
standpoint the situation is a serious
one.

MANY RACE RIOTS

BRIEF AND BREEZY
In indianapolis With a Most Rep
rese ctatiVe Body of Negroes In
Attendance-No Politics;

Those colored men who have got
the idea into their heads that the
Tammany Tiger in Greater New
York is the Negroes best friend and
which has been bending every effort
to catch the black mems votes, might
read with much satisfaction the fol-
lowing article.
NEW YORK, Monday, Aug. ~.
Rev W. Brooks, the colored pas
tor of ST. Marks NJ. E. church,
preached a sermon before a large
congregation last night on "The
Story Of the New York Riot" Dur
ing the sermon the feelings of the
congregation were at fever heat, and,
despite the pastors frequent admoni-
tIons to be calm, his hearers twice
interrupted the sermon with vigor-
GUS applause. He said:
Il have been visiting the riot vic
Tins and making an investigation.
L have a book of facts. What | say
here tonight may send me before
the courts, possibly to Jail. In MAX
ing the following charges against
the police, | invite investigation.
innocent men were cruelty as
saulted.
The clubbing in nearly every
case was done by the police.
1--WE have not found single
tough character among the victims
maltreated, but honest, hard-work-
ing people.
respectable and helpless women
who appealed to the police for pro-
lection were cursed and threatened
for their petition.
Men and women prisoners were
beaten by the police while getting in
and out Of the patrol wagon and
while on the way to the police sta
ton.
Men were beaten in the station
house.
Men and women were taken from
their beds in a nude condition by
the police"
Now the entire city government of
Greater New York is under the con-
troll of the Democratic party and
the Tammany Tiger, those very dear
friends of the Negro. Wherever the
Democratic party has any power you
can always put it down that it is
strictly IN for killing every Negro
that 1t can, if it can be done and
escape the legal punishment. This
Is true, whether such Democrats in
authority be in the North, South,
East or West. All of those colored
men who are so anxious to vote the
Democratic ticket in the North
ought to do so by all means, and if
they cannot vote it enough in the
North, why 60 right down to North
Carolina and there vote it to their
hearts content.

WAS A CUTE TRICK.

There is no longer any doubt but
that the recent demonstration
against Negro prisoner in Akron,
Ohio, which resulted in the loss Of
two lives and the wounding of many
other persons, all white, and the de-
struction Of so much property, was
engineered by the emissaries Of the
Democratic party to draw public at
tentiOn from the Southern outrages
against the colored citizens. If a
similar outrage against a Negro in
Ohio, the home Of Mckinley, as in
North Carolina, they reasoned to
themselves, could only be made to
happen, it would to some extent
Justify the South, but, thank God,
the men who went South and gave
up their lives that the Negro might
be a man and a citizen left sons in
Ohio who stood like stone walls a
few days ago, and said the Negro
should be protected the same as any
other man though he be guilty of
crime. The same law and the same
punishment should stand for the
white man and the black man one
and alike. Another Democratic
boom has thus been prematurelv ex-
| ploded.

A rather amusing story is being
told on the streets these days Of j..
E. Hawkins. About a week ago
there was a j. E. Hawkins hauled up
into the superior court for insanity,
and was sent to Steilacoom, the in
sane asylum, for treatment. J. E.
Hawkins, the attorney, was in the
mountains camping, and his familiar
face for weeks was not seen about
the court rooms. However, he re-
turnerd one day this week, and while
IN company with few friends walk
ing up the street, one of his brother
attorneys accosted him: ''Why,
hello, I'd. l am glad to see that you
are out. | was quite sorry to hear of
your unfortunate predicament."
Mr.. Hawkins looked a bit surprised
at the remarks and asked for an ex-
PLANTATION. ''Why, the papers last
week reported you insane and sent
to the asylum, and not seeing you
around L was certain it was correct"
well" said Hawkins, Il may be off
IN good many things, but l am not
crazy as yet" However, it cost Mr..
Hawkins quite few dollars for
drinks for the crowd before he heard
the last of it.

After most unprecedented fight
among the three factions of the

Judge Richard Winsor was the
only Populist receiving a nomina-
ton on the ticket. Governor Rog-
ers' friends fought the Pops to the
last ditch, but finally consented to
relax to the extent Of allowing Judge
Winsor to be named for supreme
judge. Turner ruled first, 1t ap-
pears, with a golden hand, and then
with an iron hand.

NEGRO DEMOCRATIC PAPER

Washington Exponent is the
name of a bran new weekly paper
just issued in Seattle, which is be-
ing published in the interests Of the
Democratic party, with the sole pur-
pose of converting Negroes to De-
mccracy and Organism. John III.
Ryan is the editor thereof, and he
paints brilliant picture in his
initial number for the future of the
Negro in this country if William
Jennings Bryan is only elected to
the presidency, a statement that a
great many persons most seriously
doubt. With a Republican presi-
dent and Republican congress still
the Democrats constantly disfran-
chising the Negro voters, pray, what
could the Negroes expect with a
Democratic president? If any Negro
in the Northwest or on this side
Of Mason and Dixon line doubt for
a single minute that the Democrats
do not love them with all their
hearts, then let such Negro betake
himself to North Carolina or any
other Southern state and offer his
ballot to some judge of election
and he will soon discover that the
Democrats love him so dearly that
they will not even permit him to
live any longer in this vale Of tears,
but will send him Immediately, if
not sooner, to his Fathers home to
slip and slide on the golden streets
of the New Jerusalem.

What Nome needs is less floating

Another thing Nome is sadly in need

A NEGRO HERO.

Joe Fortes, a West India Negro,
who lives in Vancouver, B. O., has
saved thirteen different persons
lives by swimming into the bay and
rescuing them as they were sinking
to rise no more within the past
twelve months. He has been made
swimming instructor Of the beach by
the city council Of Vancouver. He
IS pronounced a hero of the bravest
stripe by all who know him, and
ne is well known all over the city.

Il went north to look after the in
terests Of the Post-Intelligencer and
also for my annual outing said Mr..
A. T. Sawyer one day this week.
Nome is, L admit, greatly overdone,
and the government or somebody
else with money will have to aid a
great many Of the persons now at
Nome away from there, but that is
nothing against the country. Those
persons whom the government will
nave to help away from there are
persons who rushed north with
nothing IN view save to go out on the
beach and gather up a sack Of gold
and then return home wealthy men.
! hey Tesc disappointed, a4d h;sYing
spent their all to get there, have
nothing on which to return. Next
year L believe Nome will send to the
assay office in this city many million
dollars Of gold dust. Substantial
business houses will do well if they
do not get discouraged over few re-
verses.

Most persons doing business in Sc

that the streets are crowded with

"Have stick Of gum?" says
young boy who wheels himself up
and down the streets Oh a go-cart.
The young fellow unfortunately lost
his legs in the frozen regions of Al
aska and finding that he no longer
could make money to support HIM
self in that land of ice, he came to
Seattle, and putting his wits to-
gether soon devised a means by

On another corner you will find
the chattering Indians with their
baskets and wares for sale. There
may not be any real value in these
articles, but they are at least curios,
and the American people under the

are ready to spend their money in

Insects and Drought.

Poor soil scantily manured and but
poorly cultivated suffers much more,
or the plaTts on it do, from attacks
by drought, insect pests and fungus
diseases than where the land is well
supplied with vegetable matter and
mineral fertilizer, well worked before
the crop is put in, and we'll cultivated
during the growing season. 1t is one
of natures ways that when plant or
an animal is badly bred, poorly nour-
tshed and neglected, that it is subject
to attacks Of every kind to farther
weaken it. This is one of the methods
which brings about "the survival of
the fittest." If we would remember
this and try to give them q fair start
and proper care afterward we would
see less occasion to find fault with
the weather. We cannot control that,
but we can so provide as to be pre-
pared for the proverbial rainy day Or
the drought, and to make the sunshine
and the rain, the frost and the scorch-
ing heat, all work together for good.
