Organization Are Taken,
THE LEADERS MEET IN PHILADELPHIA
suggestions For President and Vice Pres
ident- Bishop Turner Expresses Views
Concerning the Movement.

The first steps looking to the organi-
cation Of a national negro party have
been taken in Philadelphia. Promi-
nent negroes-bishops, ministers, ed
itors and lawyers-at q meeting last
Tuesday decided TO place a presiden-
tial ticket in the field with negro can
didates. The plan is to organize the
patty in every state of the Union
and nominate candidates for state and
congressional Offices.
Names mentioned for president in
dude ex.Judge i. J. Walker, of Bos-
ton, with P. b. s. Pinchback, ex-lieu-
tenant governor Of Louisiana, as run
ming mate; Bishop W, B. Derrick, Of
New York, with Professor Debers as
running mate; Bishop Grant, of Illi-
nols, with the Rev. J. P. Sampson as
vice president; Bishop Turner, with

1.-The platform" said H. @. @. Asst
wood after the meeting, "will insist
upon the observance of the constitu'
ton of the United States, the civil and
political rights of every citizen with
out regard to race, color or condition,
Tae Monroe doctrine and opposition
to monopolies, trusts and rings, an6
the duty of the government to contro
all public conveyance such as rail
roads, ETC., and all telegraph and tele-
phone operations, so as not TO burden
the people with unnecessary taxa
ton"
Bishop q. NJ. Turner, who was no
present at the meeting, expresse
doubt as to any practical results from
the organization of a negro party if it i
intended to be political party in tn
ordinary sense, for the reason that tn
negroes compose small minority O
the voters. Having said this, b
added:

Ia It's report OF the Illinois republic
can state convention, the Chicago
Record says:
The republican leader are saying
hard things about Miles Kehoe be-
cause he sprung some prc-Boer re-
solutions on the convention. The
resolutions were laid upon the ia
bic after Miles Keboe had stirred up
all kinds Of trouble. The leaders
fear that they will lose many Ger
man votes because of this action,
l.. Phi. Wolf, prominent German of
Peoria, who was candidate for the
republican nomination for state
treasurer. rushed madly around en-
deavoring to get Lorimer and jamie
son to put the resolutions through.
He said Kehoe did a foolish thing
in springing the Boer resolutions,
and he added excited: ut will cost
Us 100000 German votes. It will
cost us 100000 German votes!" But.
the republican state convention was
not going to get che national admin
istration into trouble, SO Kehoe and
his pro.Boer resolutions were
squelched. !

lowing the flag still serves as filler
for republican organs, but the facts
do not bear it out, as statistics FOR

In February there was an increase
in the export trade of the United
States, compared with the same
month OF 1899. OF $25, 552,751 but
OF this increase, out $2O2,694 was
with Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines altogether. In March
the. increase over March 1900, was
500, 742, 140, and of this amount
but $157,O02 was made in trade
with the new possessions" There
was gain Of 1886 in our exports
TO Cuba, a loss of $4,000 in those
to Porto Rico, and a gain Of $231,-

the increase, which is less than one.

LATURE.

Judging from the complaints
which are coming from different por-
tions of the State it is apparent that
the coming Legislature will be called
upon to reapportion Nevada into
Legislative districts in such a man
ner that each county will be given
representation in the lower House
based on its population as shown by
the last census. The justice of this
demand will not be denied by any
one, and whatever basis may be de:
cided upon every county should be
treated alike and no Partially shown
in favor Of any district. The follow
ing table, which wa prepared by the
Lovelock Tribune, shows the popula
ton of the State by counties, to-
gsther with the present representa-
ton in the House and the number of
people to each Assemblyman:
