After carefully peIusing The Colored
American We fiud 1t to be the best got
ten up colored newspaper in the q United
States. 1t is classical concern, wor
thy the patronage of all the people.
The citizens of color must feel proud
Of having such paper as The Colored
American, published in The City Of
Magnificent Distances. Well, The Col
ored American is wonder, but not q
wonder. as long as we know that Edi
tor E. E Cooper is at the head. The
reading public know of Hon. E. 4.
Cooper as newspaper man. He was
for years the editor of the Freeman, Of
Indianapolis, Ind, Of which Mr.. Knox
is now editor. Under Editor Cooper's
supervision the Freeman was known
in every city In the Union, as we'll as
the States.

be applied solely to the education Of
tine white children, and the school
taxes paid by the blacks to the eduea-
tion OF the colored children: We do
earnestly beseecl you to use your
potent inf 1ence in prohibiting such a
provision being embodied in the Or
ganic law of this renowned common
wealth.
We Bag YOU no; to forget that our
ancestors rendered of their Drawn and
muscle two hundred and fifty years of
labor without reward or the hope of r
ward. The )uth, in her magnanimous
hours, has been giving liberal and
generous appropriations for the edu
cation of our helpless and ignorant
children, who are dependent upon the
states generosity.
We, who in the hour of peril and
when the bravery and chivalry OF the
South were val1antIy fighting to keep
US in slavery, remained at home, titled
your soil, fed your gallant soldiery,
and projected your womanhood, now
beseech you to continue your support
to our educa ational interests. We COM
mend the stand taken by the Rich
mond Times, the Norfolk Public
Ledger, the Petersburg index and Ap-
peal and other newspapers in the state.
They show that the Negro pays very
large per cent OF the tax by rentals and
and otherwise for which the Negro
gets no credit.
Thep, in the name of the thousands
of Negro children, crying to you for
light and life who some day Will be-
come part of the body polite, We make
this appeal, feeling that your exalted
sense of right and justice will actuate
you to avert the menace which threat
ems to retard the material advancement
OF the state.

How to Beautify the Hair.

The best proof of the merit of prep

ommends it.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Addressed by Zion Conference An urgent
Appeal for Justice Bishop Walters
Speaks-InteresIing Document.
Bishop Alexander Waters, who has
been in Virginia holding one Of his an

AN APPEAL TO TIE CONSERVATIVE
WHITE MEN OF VIRGINIA.
In view of the forthcoming consti-

submitted several propositions to be en-
couched In the new organic law, i'm
portant among which are the restric

remsm beran ce the great philanthrophlc
spirit of the South and especially of our
native state in fos tering the edCcstional al
interests Of the past, whereby we are
to the world, we gratefully point with
peculiar pride to the magnificent sup
port given to the Hampton Normal
School and to the Virginia Normal and
Collegiate Institute, and the main.
tenance of the best system of the pub
lie schools in ali of the southland: and
in grateful remembrance Of the very
kind r. rslations heretofore exjs ing be
tween the fathers OF both 1acess and
we the Negro sons, wishing not only
to continue, bat to strengthen those
relations that the common good Of all
her children may be enhanced to the
lasting benefit of our country and hu
manly, do make the following appeal
to the conservative element Of our
white brethren in the great common
wealth of Virginia:
We respectfully beg to assure you
that we are one IN sentiment, as to tie
restriction Of the educational qualifi
cation of the suffrage, as long 1t applies
in its operation equally to all races
concerned, but we are unalterably op
posed to the notorious "Grand Father
Clause" which operates to the detri

LOCAL POSTAL SYSTEM MAY BE
CONTINUED.
Thought That Extraordinary Rope"
VIII be Given Hawaii in This Matter
What a Visitor Said.

1t is believed that the post office sys-
tenn of this country will be run by
Uncle Sam on different lines from that
of any other Territory or State on ac-
count of the isolation of the Islands
and the peculiar conditions existing
here. The scheme that will probably
go into effect is the continuation of the
relations of country offices to the Ho-
nolulu office in place of a direct super
vision of all offices by the department
at Washington.
In the United States every big and
little office is directly under the eye Of
the department and corresponds with
the postmaster general on all matters.
Even small mail routes and the pay Of
carriers is fixed i'm the head office. 1t
is easy in the States and Territories
of the mainland to send inspectors out
frequently and keep up with these
things; but with the Islands the thing
is entirely different The continuous
presence of an inspector would be re-
quired and on account of the lack of
cable he would have to be given powers
those of the postmaster-general him
self
At present the business of the post
office is so conducted that mail sched-
ules in the country districts are as
nearly perfect as they possibly can be.
possessed by Mr.. Oat of all mail routes
and of the postmasters themselves. If
supervision over them is lost, this
knowledge will gradually be lost and in
spite of all that can be done the sys-
tenn in the other islands will not be
nearly so good.
The reason it is thought the old sys-
tenn will be continued for the present
is that the department has been quiet
ly informing itself of local conditions
since annexation. One result was the
appointment of Mr.. Oat to be post
master seen after the bill was passed.
Another reason is that an influential
man who was in Hawaii a short time
ago went to see the President upon his
return to Washington and said to him
something like this: For the good of
the post office department, let the Ha-
waiian system alone. 1t is as nearly
perfect as it can be made and can
never be carried on so well for num-
ber of years by the department direct.
/ would earnestly recommend that the
system stand as it is and that Mr. Oat
be continued as the responsible, direct
ing head of all the offices in the ISL
! andS"

SIXTEEN PRISONERS TAKEN TO
HILO.
The Upolu Carries Alleged Rioters
From Kailua to Honoipu-Agitators
are Stirring Up Trouble.

The steamer Upolu, Captain Dalton.
arrived this morning from Hawaii with
further news regarding the recent
trouble at Kona plantation. Sixteen
japanese have been arrested for taxi
ing part In the riotng and they were
taken by the Upolu from Kailua TO
Honoipu from which place they were
to be taken to Hilo for trial on board
the steamer were also three witnesses,
whose bandaged faces and heads show
ed what they had been through. When
the Upolu left one japanese who had
been injured i'm the fighting was in a
precariOus condition and a Portuguese
was seriously hurt. None are reported
to have died from the effects Of their
wounds
The trouble, like that which recently
occurred on Maui. is ascribed to several
leaders who have been fomentng the
rioting spirit among the laborers. There
are about half a dozen Japs at Kola
who have stirred up all the trouble and
Deputy Sheriff Hebron is quoted as
saying that these are the men he wants
to get hold of, though, as the trouble
makers of this class generally know
enough to keep out of the fights, they
are hard to land. Hebron was i'm
charge of the sixteen men who were
taken on the Upolu.
The sixteen prisoners on the Upolu
were kept together on the forecastle.
the three witnesses being carefully
guarded from them i'm an after cabin.
The witnesses had been through one
encounter and the prisoners did not
disguise their wish to get a few whacks
at the men who are expected to testify
against them The Japs have the usual
lot of complaints against the manager
and the lunas. Some of the latter are
Portuguese. and this fact is said to
constitute one cause of complaint.
On the day of the departure of the
Upolu it was reported that the Japs
were celebrating some sort of decision
that their contracts were dead. This is
supposed to mean that some agtator
has been getting in his work again.

RoDY WAS BURNED.

Friends of the late Alex Chisholm
were considerably shocked yesterday
afternoon by the appearance of the
Board of Health on the scene just as the
funeral was about to take place ana
the action of the officials in taking
charge of the body and cremating 1t at
Mauliola.
Mr. Chisholm died unexpectedly in the
forenoon at the Queens Hospital after
having suffered about six days of ma
laria. A post-mortem revealed the fact
that he had a swelling under one of his
arms The gland was cut out and is
now being examined by the bacteriolo-
gist Not wishing to take any chances
the Board of Health decided to cremate
the body.
It now appears that for three years
or more Mr.. Chisholm had suffered at
periods with an liberated thumb. Ev-
cry few months this would break out,
something like a bullet wound, and he
would have to go under the care OF a
physician. The swelling of the gland
under the arm was undoubtedly caused
by this ulster, which reappeared about
the time he was taken with malaria.
