Does Not Favor.

The distinguished negro educator
Booker H. Washington, who was spoken
of as the candidate for Vice President
Of the new Negro Party, says that he
disapproves the scheme, and says "the
colored man should devote himself To
work and not TO politics." He says:
II am not in politics and have never
been. | am simply an educator. | do
not believe that have any political
preferences. My friends of the negro
are OF all parties and religions.
The mention in the Associated Press
dispatches of my name rs candidate
for Vice President on the colored peo-
Plies ticket Is both ludicrous and i'll ad
vised. am neither a candidate nor a
politician.
What do think about the organiza-
ton Of the negro partyY Well, think
a little less Sel;dcs and a little more
work viii nave a salutary effect upon the
negro. Politics not only make strange
bedfellows but enemies of those who
are prone 10 be our friends.
"A colored mans party would go forth
with chip on It's shoulder, and what we
want is peace with the white man, and
not war.

Don't Rub Sores.

In the race for the Gubernatorial NOM
nation between Goebel, Hardin and
Stone, over-zealous partlsans fell into
violent abuse of the candidates they OPP
posed, and between them dashed the
elements into fury of prejudice that
would be quelled at no bidding, and the
result ripened into "bolters" and the
Brown ticket. The COURIER then warn
ed Democrats against the suicidal course.
This spirit is again rife in some papers,
who are ever ready to "denounce bolt
ers," when they, themselves, are the
really manufacturers of boilers. Sup,
port your choice with zeal, but don
try to promote your choice by the al
legged dement's of his opponents. foil
whilst you may make him the nominee
you are forging chains that will help I'd,
his defeat before the people. !,

have talked with number of politicians

will be in favor of harmony. Those
who supported Mr.. Goebel in his race
and those who were opposed to him will
unite and vote for Mr.. Bryan. have
reason TO think that the majority of the

and from what have heard in the First,

opinion, which is formed from talks with

State ticket will win this fall
In the second district talked with
men from each county, some who voted
for Mr.. Goebel and some who voted
against him and found that they were
all united on Bryan, and was assured
that the district would give its normal
Democratic majority this fall
Speaking of Mr.. Bryan's chances this
fall, Mr.. Jesse said: THE Democratic
party is better organized and better pre-
pared to make fight TO day than it was
three weeks before the election. in 1896.
Then the people Of the East. especially
the wealthy men, were afraid Of Bryan,
but since they know him better they do
not fear any evil effects on the interests
of the country in the event of his cleo
ton. While many men do not agree
with Mr.. Bryan on the money question,
they will support him because they be-
lieve that the trusts and Imperialism are
more important than the money ques-
ton. The campaign will not be con
Quoted so much on anti-expansion as ON
anti Imperialism lines, as the Democrat
ic party does not believe the United
States should hold colonies to whom the
right Of statehood will never be ex-

To Investigate More Charges.

So many extraordinary charges have
been published in the United States that
Gov. Gen. Wood has decided to appoint
special commission, consisting of one
American Army officer and two Cuban
civilians, TO hear testimony offered by
anyone who wish TO make specific charg
es of malfeasance in Office or official ex-
travagance. The commission will have
power fully TO investigate the charges
and TO compel the attendance of witness
es at court.
A newspaper in the United States re-
Gently asserted that Auditor Brooks was
in receipt Of $4,000 year as salary, while
as a matter of fact, he receives only the
pay and allowance of a First Lieuten-
ant Of cavalry.
Local papers which publish charges
against officials, civil OF military will be
requested to divulge the sources of their
information and also TO lay before the
special commission all details ana data
in their possession.

IL would be difficult for any man who

HANG ROW UPRISING
Due to Plot Against the Pekin Govern
 ment

Paris. August E.-onicial despatches from Shanghai explain that the Hang Row uprising was not due to the "Boxers' but was plot organized by the partisans of kang Yu Wei, the former, combined with the secret society known as the "Ko Lao Hui" an anti-foreign organization who proposed to the southern Viceroys revolt against the Pekin government. The lead- CTS of the movement relied especially upon Chang Chi Tung, Viceroy at Han Row for arms, gunpowder and other agents of de- struction.
 A proclamation written in English and ad- dressed to Europeans was seized. In 1t the revolutionists declared themselves opposed to the Manchu dynasty, but ready to up- hold the present Emperor. They expressed themselves as desirous of founding a "con- sttutional government" of protecting for- eigners and Christians and of supporting the powers against anti-foreign fanatics
 The immediate effect of the movement has been to increase the peril of Europeans. Proof exists of disorder and pillage due to the same movement at widely separated points. The headquarters of the conspiracy Is at Hankow, from which point it Is al. vided into other provinces
 Several thousands of the supporters of the movement have received instructions to demonstrate in the central valley of the Yang Tse Tiang, but the viceroy has suf- ficient force of regular troops to guarantee the maintenance of order. Twelve of the conspirators have been beheaded

u HUNG CHANG
Requests Arrest of Prince Yuan and
 Disarm Ament of Boxers

London, Aug. 2S, $50 a. m.-The allies, re- suming aggressive operations, have taken the district west of Pekin. This statement is based on Chinese authority, and is cabled from Shanghai. From the same place comes the further statement that Li Hung Chang has wired the Empress Dowager at Hsian Flu reque sting the arrest of Prince Tuan and the disarmament of the Boxers in or, der to give him an opening for negotiating with the powers.
 The Examinations projected at Shanghai In celebration of the relief of Pekin has been abandoned, lest they should cause . native outbreak.
 Evidence has been received here" says the Shanghai correspondent of the Stand- ard, going to show that General Lu Wa, the real author of the anti-foreign outbreak, the Empress Dowager, Prince Yuan and the others all having been pursuaded by him to take an extreme attitude, while he stood aside and waited developments"
 American refugee missionaries in Annoy, according to the Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail, are anxious to return to the interior, but the United States consul has forbidden them to do so and urged them to go to the Philippines or return to America
 Japan's Action
 Shanghai advices to the Daily News say that consular opinion there looks upon Ja. pans action in the landing of troops at Annoy despite the protests of the consuls, as similar to that of Russia at New Chwang, the whole indicating a tendency to a partition of the empire
 Russian journals agree" says tn Mos COW correspondent of the Standard, that 1t is impossible to deal with China in the spirit of revenge, as suggested by Emperor William They believe that methods less drastic can better accomplish the ends of Russia in Manchuria. The question would be satisfactorily settled to Russian mindA by the seizure of the northern provinces.b
 A St. Petersburg special quotes Emperor William, when wiring in answer to the an- nouncement that a Russian regiment had been named after him, as follows:
 Express my good wishes today with the greater joy since our Russian and German comrades, after long time, are fighting together again shoulder to shoulder Ac- cording 10 an old and sacred tradition, vic- tory will not be wanting"
