MINERS CONVENTION
President Mitchell Issues a Call
for 1t To Be Held in
Scranton.
NEXT FRIDAY, OCT. IL, THE DATE
Proposition OF the Mine Owners To Be
Looked into and Be De-
-, cided Upon.

Shenandoah, Pa, Oct S.-President
Mitchell Mt 1905 Il. m. issued a call for
a convention of mine workers of the
three districts comprising the anthra-
cite field to meet in Scranton, Pa, on
Friday next. The text of the conven-
ton call is as follows:
Temporary Headquarters United
Mine Workers, Hazleton, Pa, Oct. s.
TO all miners and mine employees of
the anthracite region: Brothers-In
view of the fact that the mine opera
tors have posted notices offering an ad-
vance in wages formerly paid and be-
lieving it to be our plain duty to con-
suit your wishes as to our future ac-
ton, we deem it advisable to ask you
to select delegates to represent you in
convention.
BASIS of fermentation.
"You are therefore notified that a
convention will be held at Scranton,
Pa, beginning Friday, Oct II. at 10
a. m. The basis of representation will
be one vote for each 100 persons on
strike. or if desired one delegate may
represent as many as 500 mine work
ers; but no delegate will be allowed to
cast more than five votes.
"Each delegate should have creden-
tials signed by the chairman and secre-
tary of the meeting at which he is
elected; and whenever possible creden-
tials should bear the seal of the local
union"
The call is signed by John Mitchell.
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America; L. ID. Nichols, presi-
dent District No. I: Thomas Duffy,

cabinet, Lord General WolseIey and
other military men. did not study be-
fore hand this work Of Mr.. Lucas, and
the above paragraph asj well as what
follows. 1t would have prevented a
great deal of folly and madness and
even crime. It might have prevented
an unrighteous. disastrous war. 1T
would from many a blunder free the
British rulers. Read this and think
it over:
Where there are still the remain of
lsavagery, where the old is very tena-
Icious and the new yery aggressive,
where a great dominion and a nation
ARE in making, with diverse elements
in diverse stages. it is not only foolish
to interpret men n events in the light
of our own firesides, it is untrue to the
facts and therefore wrong. IT is o so
much England or the English govern
lment that has made South Africa, as
the men on the spot, the English and
the Dutch, who ave lived and worked
in and for the land, who have seen the
things whereof we read in Blue Books
or newspapers, not in a glass darkly
but face to face"

livery subscriber TO The Semi-Weekly
Messenger, who is in arrears, has had
nailed TO him a statement of his in
deotedness, which we must insist shall
be given attention in some way.
The amount due by each individual
S. Dscriber is small in itself, but in he
a~-sregate, it amounts TO a sum that
w.yuId be of great benefi to us at this
time in enabling us 10 further improve
the paper.
The Semi-Weekly Messenger is mail
ed twice per week lover 100 copies per
year, for $1.0O cash in advance. We
have through oversight and for other
reasons, allowed some to receive the
paper without complying with the
rule, which is an injustice both to those
who pay in advance and ourselves.
We cannot grant much further ir@ul-
gence, and it is to be hoped that all
those in arrears will let us hear from
them as every cent is needed.

in the United States who are exempt
in h educational test, white or black
are such as can read the constitution
or come under the clause of fst Jan
uary 1867, or could vote prior to tina
time. He illustrates:
"A lifelong resident of the District
of Columbia, a citizen of any one of the
numerous territories in existence in
1867, and all their descendants are de-
barred from any benefit under section
5, because It applies only to citizens of
states in the United States.
IF under an enabling act New Mex
leo should be granted statehood, il
would be obliged to present its consti-
tuition for approval by the congress.
If. such constitution should contain a
provision identical with the proposed
amendment in North Carolina, its eff
feet would be absolutely to disfranchise
a majority Of its present population
for many are u~neducated, and OF the
educated many write and read only the
Spanish language), and the fact that
they had been territorial voters for a
generation would not entitle them to
the benefit of the exempting section"
But it is far better to read the pro-
duction than to rely upon extracts
taken here n there. 1t helps TO a
better understanding of the very inn
portant matter in controversy. MI
Busbee is a lawyer of large experience
and gooG abilities and he has contrib
uted something to help seekers after
knowledge to better comprehend the is%
sue and the real meaning and intent of
the proposed amendment. No white
man or no negro who can read the
constitution is injured or will be de-
barred from casting his ballot. Ignor-
ance and vice will no longer govern the
white rae and bring bale and destruc-
ton upon the great interests of North
Carolina.

Linney who deserted the white mans
party to get Office from the republicans
.poured out characteristic abuse upon
his old party in the house. He is rowdy
land bitter, and like all traitors to race
land party, as ArtemuS Ward once said
Iof another fellow-''he fell far and
heavy" He was very obliging it APP
pears. He gracefully and g%raciously
the floor to his dear bosom
friend and political bed fellow, negro
George H. White, who in his most vi
Icious and trucufent and slan6erous
style according to report, attacked the
white men of the state and chargedthat
the rapings of negro women by white
men caused negro assaults upon white
women. If George We're to put on his
thinking cap for a a he could not
invent a greater lie than that. We
knew how Bumbtious George was but
we did not know what an arrant; UNI
..mitigated liar he showed himself to be.
He and Linney and all other SANDER
.ers and abusers of the race deserve to
be put in the same public pillory.

The Messenger long ago prophesied
that the republicans in the house would
Misplace democrats in contested dis
tricts if they thought their necessities
required more members. Republican
congresses have never failed at this
point, to help themselves, when ever
hungry fellows of their sort came up to
contest the seats of clearly elected
democrats. They are conscien-
tious and just except when they have
no need of farther help. 1t is under
stood that Peason will get Representa-
tive Crawford's seat. OF course that is
just like the gang.

Beyond a doubt the brightest man
welding the keenest blade in the new
house of representatives is Champ
Clark, of Missouri. He is very keen
of thrust and resourceful. His speeches
must be delightful to hear, and they
read most entertainingly in spite of the
old opinion hat a speech that reads
we'll is not good to hear, or vice versa.
Mr.. Clark is immense and he eclipses
all other speakers when he handles lit
tie McKinley's wal in the Philippines
and imperialistic strides. How he rid
iculed the rascaf1y administration. We
quote:
Democrats and republicans, he said,
had Joined in putting B. H. Roberts out
of the house because heb ad three
wives. He asked the republicans to
join with them in keeping out of the
country a sultan with 300 wives. The
distinguished republican Official said
he, gets $3.50 a month and the keeper
of his harem SIS per month. If this
keeps on the time will come when no
republican official will be properly
equipped without a harem and a
keeper"

A great crowd at Charlotte heard
Rev. r. G.. Pearson's first sermon on
Sunday night. His health is poo n he
will preach but once a day. He said:
"I have learned to depend more upon
the power Of the Holy Spirit and less
upon preaching in a meeting of this
kind. The first week I shall preach to
the Church, to Christians, and the
lsecond to the unsaved. In these SER
vices you will hear no slang, no rough
ness, and nothing but the plain, prac-
IticaI preaching of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ"
He,is indeed the great evangelist.

Mr. c. H. Mebane, the populist super
intendent Of public instruction, so far
as we have been able TO judge Of his
work, has been an exceptionally indus
trious, serviceable and efficient officer.
He is a man of too much elevation and
independence of character TO be led by
the nose by a fellow of the Butler kind
of ignobles. He will not fight the nee
essary franchise amendment. He

There is a considerable force of Irish
in the British army, far more than
Scotch. They constitute % per cent. OF
the entire army recruited in the British
isles. Before the war with the Beers
began the army statistics showed 72,34S
English, 3,947 Scotch, 22,963 Irish. The
Irish are good fighters and are among
Victoria's most gallant soldiers. But
the Irish out of the army are not in
sympathy with the war against a peo-
pie fighting for their homes, their lib
erty, their independence, their affairs
and firesides.

BREVITIES.

The British hardly have any right
understanding of the sense of the civ
iliZed world as to their war upon the
Beers. They are greatly surprised,
possibly shocked at the sympathy of
Germany, manifested in many ways,
but lastly in their reception of DR..
Leyds, of the Doe republic.
The Beers appeal to America is caus-
tic, but it only applies to the Mckinley
gang. The people are in hearty sym
pathy with their noble and righteous
cause.
