SUSPENDED
ARKANSAS coLoREB CATHOLIC
 CEASES ISSUE.
Was Brought About by a Change oF Ownership in the School
 Property.
The Arkansas Colored Catholic,

The Arkansas Colored Catholic, . monthly publication edited by Rev. J. NJ. Lueey in the interest of the Color ed Industrial institute, has suspended, owing to the transfer of the owne1- ship of the school property. Very Rev. J. R. Slatfery, ct Baltimore, order of the Catholic church exclusive ly for missionary work among the ne groes of the South, acquired last sum- mer one quarter of the block of ground for the pastors house and church. The Sisters of the Holy Fam fly of New Orleans, who form one of the two orders of colored sisters in the United States, acquired a month ago the north side, three quarter block, and school buildings. The property had been in Father Luceys name and threw upon him heavy financial and other responsibilities.
 The Arkansas Colored Catholic was a useful auxiliary as a medium of com- munication with distant patrons. As the purpose of tho school and missio" was for the special benefit of the col ored people. to do for them in a Cath ollie way what the Presbyterian, Bap- tist and Methodist churches have been doing in their ways, it came very nat ural to turn over the work at the proper opportunities to the special or ganizations in the Catholic church fit ted to carry it on.
 While Father Lucev will not longer publish the school paper. he will still aid the school. The board of direc- tors. composed of local citizens, ap- proved the transfer. ond will still con tillue in office. The change gives per nlanency to Q very popular institution and some needed improvements will he r?2Gc to add tc the comnletion and beauty of tl}e place. The cooking. sew ing and literary departments have he1 an increased attendance this session and there is bright promise for the future.

UARH SANTA CLAUSE Post Office Folk Urge Him to Put Enough Stamps on
 Mail Gifts. DON'T FORGET TO WRITE THE ADDRESS PLAINLY AND
 PROPERLY.
Be Sure the Articles Are Wrapped Securely and Tied With Strong
 Cord.
TO FOLLOW

Uncle Sam, as messenger from San ta Claus to the people of America and the world, sounds a warning to those sending Christmas gifts by mail. Re duced to simple English it is this:
 Don't forget to write the address plainly and properly; be sure the ar- ticles are wrapped securely in heavy paper and tied with strong cord; don't fail to afliX sufficient postage; mail early in the day; don't leave valuable packages on top of mail boxes, as many of them never reach the post office: before depositing yeur gift i'll boxes, or at the main office, take q last look to see if all these things have been done.'
 Neglect any one of the essentials named and you may expect to hear of belated Christmas presents or of their disappearance into the dead letter de. partment to be resurrected only after Santa Claus shall have gone off to the woods for another year.
 The Christmas rush in the Pine Bluff postoffice is setting in. and it will grow livelier the nearer the holi- days aproach. All that the mail car riers and their superiors ask is that the senders of gifts lend what assist ance they can, partly by mailing early to avoid the rush." The indications are that this is going te be an excep- tionally heavy year.
 The insufficient postage caution is important, because this class of mail vii not be forwarded unless fully prepaid. If wrapped in fimsy paper, if not properly addressed, it win he liable to delay, and if the sender can not be located, the package will be consigned to the dead letter office.

INITIATING CLEvELANDIsM,

The statement comes from Cleveland,
Ohio that ten men met on Sunday Ga fit
> day to go back upon party pledgesD in
down town office in Cleveland and de-
cided that a bolt should be made from
the Ohio Democratic Convention, and
called a convention to be held in the
July. The Associated Press says they
we're "Ohio Democrats who believe in
Bryan" and that they will put up a
State ticket
THIS sounds like the kilograms that
filled the papers in 1896. Then the fol-
lowers of Cleveland were boiling Ma
tional, State and county conventions and
putting up boiling tickets. Now we are
told that it is the friends of Bryan who
are initiating Clevelandsm. If so, it is as
bad now as it was then. In 1896, when the
whole Cleveland Cabinet, with the hon
orable exception of Hoke Smith, bolted
their party because they could not con-
troll it, theysbecame assistant Republicans
and helped Mckinley and Hanna win the
victory. Many of them did the same thing
in 1900. If any "Ohio Democrats who be-
lieve in Bryan have initiated the bad ex-
ample of party dishonor set by Cleveland
in 1896, they are lending themselves, no
matter how good their intentions, to a
fight that will help saddle Hannaism on
escape the responsibility!
Men who take part in convention are
honorably bound to abide the action Of
that convention. To do otherwise is to be
guilty of political dishonesty.
The Ohio platform and candidates are
worthy of the support of every Democrat
and every other man in Ohio who opposes
subsidies, protection, Imperialism and
Hannaism. There isn't line In that
the living issues. If it does not contain
what some Democrats would like, that is
no excuse for bolt. divided Democ-
racy in Ohio this year would prove a
national calamity, and the "ten men"
who met Gin down town office" on the
Sabbath day to engineer bolt will not
have any more followers than the Palmer
and Buckner crowd had in North Carolina
in 1885, And they will not deserve to
have any more!

In the Alabama Constitutional Conven-
ton, the proposition to let the finding
of nine of the twelve jurors be the ver-
dict was voted down by 81 to 80. 1t was
said the corporation lawyers thought
that a majority verdict would work to
the injury of the great corporations they
represented. There is no real good ground
for any change. 1t is better for the
people, better for the corporations, bet
ter for justice to require all twelve OF
the jurors to agree.

ONE FORM OF IMPERIALISM.

The people of North Carolina, who cam
not in the rural districts provide a four
months school and pay the teachers $50
a month, are taxed to pay teachers 500 a
Filipinos. That's Imperialism! When the
Federal Treasury was overlooking with a
surplus, it was unconstitutional to en-
ploy part of the money to help the South
ern white taxpayers educate the negro.
1t is alright now to tax them millions
to educate the Filipinos, while their own
children can get only three or four
months SCHOOL, And they call this prog
ress with big P.
Charity begins at home. The negro was
freed as the result of war. He was given
the ballot, not to help the negro, but to
guarantee Republican success. The men
who freed him. except few philanthropy
lists, have never contributed a cent to his
education. 1t has been borne chiefly by
the impoverished Southern white man,
WHO mas Decu dpuScu DScduSe Hc uluh
give the negro more schooling than he
gave his own children. And now when
the Federal Treasury is again full to
overlooking. transports are loaded down
to carry high priced teachers to open
scools for the Filipino boys and give
them nine months in the year.
And the Southern country schools are
open only four months in the year.
Comment is unnecessary.

General Superintendent, Rural Free De-
livery System"
Why is it that Illinois, which contains
4,S21 $50 people to North Cardinals $751;
992, has forty times an many free rural
deliveries as North Carolina? The popu-
lation of Illinois is largely in cities
where there is no need of free rural de-
liveries. Why has South Carolina, with
100000 less people, nearly four times,
as many as North Carolina; Tennessee,
with only 100000 more people than this
State, thirteen times as many; Geor-
gia, with only 800, 900 more people, nearly
nine times as many, and Virginia with
less inhabitants, two and half times
as many?
The answer is easy. The Senators and
members Of the House from those States
have demanded more routes, have slim
ulated interest among the people, and
have not been content until the people
enjoyed this new blessing. Raleigh leads
with three routes because of Representa-
tive Atwater's determination to have
them. The people must build fires behind
the Congressman and insist that North
Carolina shall have it's fair proportion
of the routes or know the reason why.
