A BIG FOOL EDITOR.

While a great many nonsensical
statements have been made by fool
ish persons concerning the assassin
alton Of President Mckinley Of a
sarcastic nature by persons who diff
fered from the president and his
policy, and to some extent by real
anarchists, yet no American news
paper man seems to have been fool
ish enough to speak disparagingly
of the martyred president or to com
mend the action of his assassin ex-
cept Clarence Jones, proprietor Of
the Press-Post, Of Columbus, Ohio.
That paper, both editorially and in
its news columns, spoke very often
sively of the president and the peo-
pie Of that section took serious ex-
ceptions to its utterances, as well as
its editor, and it required the assist
ance Of the entire police force as
well as company of militia to pre-
vent the outraged citizens from not
only lynching the editor, but to like
wise demolish the plant and build
ing in which the paper is published.
1t is needless to add that Editor
Jones is a Democrat in politics and
runs a paper of that same faith and
belief, but it is rather remarkable
that he should so far forget his
American principles on such an oc-
casiOn as this an to denounce a man
for whom the entire world was
wreathed in mourning. Even had
there been any truth in his mad
ness there certainly was no common
sense in it, and If for no other rea-
son, his own financial interests
should have prompted him to not
have spoken as he did Of the martyr
ed president Granted, for the sake
Of argument, that what Editor Jones
said was true, it was said at the
wrong time as well as in the wrong
spirit and could not have done 9th
erwise than have brought hatred
and malice down upon his head from
the readers Of his paper regardless
of their politics. Some one has well
written, 'When in Rome do as the
Romans do" and Editor Jones
might have applied this to himself,
and in this the nations bereavement
mourned along with the other
mourners, and if his feelings were
such that he found it impossible to
mourn, then it would have been
wise for him to have kept still. His
frankness came very near costing
him his life, and unless he is very
careful it will certainly cost him his
fortune.

ADVERTISING ASTROLOGISM.

The astrologists are having a
great time over the assassination of
President Mckinley. They are now
claiming that a great many of them
predicted at the time of President
McKinley's second Inauguration
that his administration would be a
stormy one and would end in a ia
tality. They further claim that
their prophesies were more than YER
flied at the Pan-American demon
stration in honor Of the president,
when Vice President Roosevelt's pic
ture was sent up bearing the inscrip-
ton, "Our Vice President" when
the "our" almost instantly burned
out and this was Immediately follow
ed by "vice" which left 'President"
standing, and this remained some
seconds before it burned out. The
astrologists claim that the instance
was so very striking that great
many persons at the time were i'm
pressed with the strangeness Of it.
A few hours later, comparatively
speaking, President Mckinley was
assassinated, and still but few days
later Mr.. Roosevelt was declared
president of the United States. That
all Of this was a strange coincidence
no one will deny, but that the astrol-
ogists were able to predict them is
absolute rot, and no one but the SUI
perstitiOus and ignorant will consid-
er their prattle along this line for a
single moment. There is no medi-
um Of communication between this
world and the Great Beyond, and
any person or persons who declare
that they can commune with the
other world and impart their infor-
nation to the beings Of this world
is not only a hypocrite but is an i'm
poster of the most dangerous type
The intentions of God Almighty arc
! not impaired to anyone in this world

FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM.

The colored soldier played no less
conspicuous part in the great Civil
war, when his freedom was being
battled for by the Northern blue
coats. When he was permitted to
enlist in the army the cry of "We
are coming, father Abraham, two
hundred thousand strong" came
from every hill top in the South, as
his shiny face showed up for fight
to preserve the Union, and their
deeds Of valor and bravery during
that terrible war are still being told
by the survivors of Port Hudson,
Milliken's Bend, Fort Wagner, Fort
Pillow and a hundred other battle
fields wher black men fought like
demons for their freedom. Colonel
Roosevelt never seems to tire in
sounding the praises Of the brave
black boys who followed him up San
Juan hill. The leading military au-
thorities Of the world have proclaim
ed the bravery of the Ninth and
Tenth cavalry, colored, equal to that
displayed by any company Of SOL
dires that ever fought on battle
field. Though they were warned by
the English spectators that no man
could climb San Juan hill and live,
they, fearless Of their danger, press
ed on from point to point until they
had scaled the heights and driven
the Spaniards from every strong
hold. They lost more than two
thirds of their number in that awful
charge, but they proved to the world
that bravery knew no bounds with
in a black bosom.

CoLORED COOP. COLONIES.

The colored citizens of the city of
Omaha are struggling to put in op-
Grafton first-class, up-to-date coop
erative gracery store. Such mercan-
tile institutions are becoming quite
common in many of the Eastern
states and it is more than likely that
this effort on the part Of the Omaha
citizens will prove equally success
full as many others have done. 1t
will be remembered that the city of
Chicago already has cooperative
grocery store among the colored cit
liens, which has recently added a
dry goods department, increased in
size, dimensions and capital, so as to
make it a pretty fair imitation of
the great department stores that are
so common to Chicago The effort
in Chicago has proven entirely salts
factory and the colored cooperative
store is now classed by the CONNER
cial concerns Of the country as on a
splendid financial basis and doing a
most excellent business. There is
no reason why colored men cannot
unite their small capital in such in
dustries with perfect success as well
as satisfaction to all concerned, and
it is here predicted that this will be
done in most Of the towns and com
munities where any number Of color
ed persons are to be found, which is
quite right and proper.
The Seattle Republican., 1901-09-27

would not accept the plea, and had
one Of not guilty recorded against
him. His trial began Monday as
soon as a jury could be empaneled.
He had no defense to offer and the
jury returned a verdict of guilty as
charged Tuesday. Much precaution
has been used by the authorities to
keep the man from being lynched
by the enraged citizens, and thanks
to the better judgment of the Amer
lean people he has been given a
fair and impartial trial, and has
been found guilty by a jury Of his
peers, and will pay the penalty Of
his awful crime, if such thing can
be done, in the electric chair. Death
for such a wretch cannot be claimed
a just retribution for his crime, but
it is the very best that the living
can give him, and there is no doubt
but that he will get the full extent
of it.
The Seattle Republican., 1901-09-27
HAVE NO ANARCHISTS.

1t is quite commendable on the
part of the Negro population of this
country that out Of the 100000
there is not found a single one that
tolerates anarchy in any shape, form
or manner. Yea, it can be truthful
ly said that at no time and at no
place has the colored man ever been
either charged or proven guilty Of
being a traitor to his country's flag,
all of which is most remarkable for
the simple reason that no race of
people in the United States have
been oppressed and mistreated as has
the black race, and despite all this
he is as loyal and patriotic as any Of
the sons Of the revolutionary war
whose ancestry sprang from George
Washington's blood.
The Seattle Republican., 1901-09-27
EDUCATED NEGRO WATCHED.

An exchange says, ''The world has
its eye upon the educated Negro,
and when he acts without common
sense he is classed as ignorant and
in competent This is well said
and the point equally well taken.
The world always has its eye upon
the man whom it has reason to be-
lieve knows better than to commit
overt acts and do things that only
ignorant and superstitious persons
would do. When a person claims to
be educated he naturally attracts
the eyes Of the educated as well as
the unCducated upon him and more
is naturally expected Of him than Of
the ordinary uneducated, and for
this reason the educated should be
very careful what he or she does.

BLACK BOYS THERE.

A writer in the Atlanta Constitu-
ton is responsible for the assertion
that no great historical event has
transpired in the United States but
that colored man played a conspic-
uous part therein. Owing to the
fact that he was among the first set
tiers in the country and brought
here for the express purpose of man
ual labor, it can be truthfully said
that the Negro felled the forests,
cleared and titled the fields, tunnel
ed the mountains, leveled the hills,
bridged the rivers, and was first and
foremost in preparing this country
for agricultural purposes. The
first blood spilled for American in
dependence was that of a colored
man, Crispus Attucks, who was shot
down by the British soldiers on
State street in Boston at the begin
ming of the Revolutionary war.
Many men with black faces and of
African descent took active parts in
the American revolution, and receiv-
ed the highest praise from General
Washington. The war in 1912 was
started by the British armies taking
one colored and two white sailors
from an American man of war. War
was at once declared and according
to the best historical accounts 400
cOlOred men were with General
Jackson in the battle Of New Or
leans, where the Americans gained
most decided victory over the Brit
ish and thereby ended the war. Gen
eral Jackson, after the battle, issued
the following address to the colored
soldiers: '|To the Men of Color
Soldiers: From the shores of Mo
bile | collected you to arms, I in
vited you to share in the perils and
to divide the glory with your white
countrymen. But you have
surpassed all Of my hopes. I have
found in you, united to these quail.
tiles that noble enthusiasm which
impels to great deeds. The presi
dent Of the United States shall be

THE NEGRO INCREASING.

1t is claimed by leading paper
of the East that when the present
census is completed it will show 49,
100000 colOred Americans, out of a
total population Of 75,OOO,OOO in
this country, which does not include
Indians, Chinese and japanese, but
persons of African descent. If these
figures prove correct it will show
that one-fifth of the population of
this country are descendants of the
twenty African slaves brought hith-
er in 1920 by Dutch trading vessel.
It will further show that these peo-
pie have proven to be the most pro-
life in the way Of natural increase
of any distinct class of citizens in
the United States, and if they main
tain the same ratio of increase for
the next century they will outnum-
Der by heavy per cent the white
population of the United States, un-
less some war Of determination
breaks out and the blacks be slaugh-
tered at an alarming extent and thus
decrease their increasing numbers.
The colored popnlati.n Of this coun-
try has increased at a more rapid rate
than the white population, despite
the fact that there are on an aver
age of 1851 white foreigners COM
ing into this country every month of
the year and practically no Negroes,
which number every month has av-
eraged for the past eighty years. By
multiplying this monthly number of
immigrants by twelve and then by
eighty, it will be seen that during
that time something over 20,0O0,0O0
Of foreigners have come to Ameri-
ca to swell the increase Of white pop
ulatiOn. Stop the foreign immigra-
ton, as is now contemplated by the
leading men Of this nation, for half
century or omre and there is no
doubt byt that the colored popula-
ton would show an increase of some
25 per cent. more than the whites.

PASSING

Public Mind.
AN INAUGURAL PLEDGE.

President Roosevelt's inaugural
pledge to maintain the Mckinley
policy and likewise his invitation to
the members Of the Mckinley cab
met to retain their portfolios is but
the repetition of what every other
vice president who has unexpected
ly been called to the presidential
chair on account Of the death Of the
president has always done. Howev-
er, the general public have reasons
to believe that President Roosevelt
will carry: out the cardinal principles
Of the Mckinley administration, and
will, for the most part, work in per-
feet harmony with the present mem
bers of his cabinet. Simply because,
to some extent, Mr.. Roosevelt was
a part of President McKinley's for
mer administration and vice presi-
dent of his late administration and
to some extent in perfect accord
with both of the administration and
lent his aid in many ways toward the
perfecting Of the same.

with view Of giving such persons
any idea Of what He intends to do
with any Of the inhabitants Of this
world. There is absolutely no chain
or line Of connection between this
world and the world Of spirits, and
it is but delusion and snare on the
part Of the one to try to convince
anyone that there is, and it is super
stition, weakness and ignorance on
the part Of any living person to in
any way give credence in any way,
form or manner to such rot.

OLDEST COLORED MASON.

From the Washington Leader "a
paper published in the interest of
the COlored Free Mansions Of the
United States, it is learned that the
oldest living colored Free Mason in
the United States is Illustrious Hen
ry I'll. Gilbert, a thirty-third degree
Mason, Of Philadelphia, Pa. At his
last birthday in February, he was 81
years of age, and he is still in excel

oREGoN's coLoRED POPULATION.

From a recent census bulletin it
is learned that the colored popula-
ton Of the state Of Oregon is 49,
945, of which 15,502 are males and
3,452 females. Of this number TO-
397 are Chinese, 4,951 are Indians,
2,501 japanese, 1,105 Negroes.
There are 1868 females and 1888
males among the Indians. There
are 2,501 males and SO females
among the japanese. There are 10,-
397 males and 265 females among
the Chinese. There are 677 males
and 428 females among the persons
Of Negro descent. These figures
concerning the colored population Of
Oregon are to be compared with
232,985 males and 100000 females
among the whites Of that state.

WHAT OTHERS DID.

Vice President Tyler, who sue
ceeded William Henry Harrison,
eventually found an excuse to
change most Of the Harrison cabinet
and likewise to reverse the public
policy, which was instrumental in
electing the Harrison-Tyler ticket
in 1871 to the presidential chair. In
1S49 Aillard Fillmore was called to
succeed President Taylor, and while
he promised not to change the Tay-
lor policy, still he did so almost in
stanter. Vice President Andrew
Johnson, who became president in
1865 after the assination of Lincoln,
most sacredly promised the Ameri-
can people to carry out the Lincoln
policy, but this he failed to do in
toto, and the cabinet officers, one
after the other, were removed until
his administration bore no SEM
blance to the Lincoln administra-
ton. While President Arthur did
not wholly change the policy of his
predecessor, James A. Garfield, who
was killed in 1881, yet he came so
near doing it that one would not
miss it very far to say that he real
ly did so, and as on former occasions
the members of the Garfield cabinet,
one by one were dropped out until
a complete change had bee nrecOrd-
ed. With Mr.. Roosevelt the case is
quite different, for, as said above,
he has been a member Of the Nc
Kinley household for a good many
years, and there is every reason to
believe that the Mckinley policy in
every respect will be carried out,
even to the building and maintain
ing the complete supremacy Of the
Isthmian canal by this government.

The third feature Of the fund we
were compelled to modify. It was
our original intention to close the
fund on December 81, 1901, being
the last day Of the nineteenth CEN
tury, and to hold throughout the
United Kingdom on the following
day thanksgiving services in every
one of the 10000 chapels. The In
dian famine, the war land other cir
cumstances interfered with the COM
pletion Of the fund. We were COM
PEELED to give another year to the
enterprise, and we have now decided
to close the fund December 81 Of
this year, when we fully expect to
report that the whole of the million
has been raised.
The Seattle Republican., 1901-09-27

The result attained so far is due
to the magnificent organization of
Methodism-an organization poll
ticians may well envy. At the head
Of the Methodist organization stands
the Wesleyan conference, an assem-
bly, consisting equally Of ministers
and laymen. Below the conference
rank thirty-four districts, into which
England, Scotland and Wales are
parceled out, each with its chairman
and its secretary. 1t should be re-
membered that the Wesleyan fund
does not cover the whole of British
Methodism, nor Ireland. The Irish
Methodists have already completed
their fund, amounting to more than
f50,000.
