promptness that the prosecuting at
torney's Office is using to dispose Of
the Henry murder case. In one hour
after the coroner's inquest had been
held the prosecuting attorneys Office
had filed an information of murder
in the first degree against Henry, and
then and there served notice on his
attorneys that he would be given but
forty-eight hours to plead to the
charge. Though Henry's attorneys,
Messrs. Hawkins and Black, remon-
strated against such brevity, the pros
ecuting attorney would not be moved
a peg from his purpose. 1t is un-
precedented in the long list of murder
cases in King county to not give the
accused a preliminary hearing, and
just why this man Henry was moved
against by the prosecuting attorneys
Office so forcibly is a matter of street
conjecture among the legal fraternity
Of the city. Apparently Henry has
committed an awful crime, but he is
entitled to a fair and impartial trial
just the same as if he had thousands
of dollars at his back, and there is
no excuse for the prosecuting attor-
ney's office to take advantage of the
man as it is doing at present Give
him a fair and impartial trial, and if
he is found guilty of murder in the
first degree, or any other degree, give
him the full benefit Of the law. but It
is a burning shame to railroad him to
the gallows simply because he is a
Negro. The Negroes of this ON
munity have from time to time noted
the general demeanor of the prosecut-
ing attorneys under the present incum-
bent when one of them has been
charged with crime, which has been
anything but fair; and the Henry case
is the worst of all.

peremptory orders have been given
to the United States officials to not
allow any bombardment of Colon by
either of the belligerents. Should
either side be so foolish as to not obey
the orders of the United States, then
our country would have another war
on it's hands in short notice, and
that might complicate things worse
than has been even prophesied by the
most pessemistic creature in the Uni
ted States. For should the United
States become involved in war with
any of the South American repub-
lies, there is no telling where it
would end and what European ma
tions would be drawn into the en-
broglio, but it could have but one
terminus, and that would be the alb
sorption of the entire South Ameri-
can countries by the United States.

BROTHER IN BLACK
The servant girl problem is seri-
ously troubling the hOuseholders of
the Canadian government, and at a
public meeting held in Toronto a few
days ago the women decided to make
an effort to import colored girls from
the Barbados islands, to be used as
servant girls. According to their re-
port, there are thousands of colored
girls in those islands, who possess
more than ordinary intelligence, and
who would gladly come to Canada
were the facilities afforded them, and
the Canadians entertaining no preju-
dice against colored people, it was
decided to try the experiment. At
the same time they decided whether
they did or did not get colored help,
they wouldn't use Cinnamon.

If the Washington Star can be be-

Thomas Jefferson, and it further

cisco, Cal, a letter was drafted and
sent out to all of the Episcopal
churches, and the same was read in
most of the churches of New York
on Sunday, November 10th. Abiding
to municipal politics, the letter has
this to say: ''The failure of citi-
zen of a republican government to do
his duty in the endeavor to elect hon
est and true men as the officers of
that government, is the earliest pOliti-
cal manifestation of this perniciOus
life. The selfish Indifference which,
governed by disgust, is content that
the city or the state shall be given
up into the hands of the least reput-
able people in it, rather than do vail
ant and painful battle to preserve the
ballots purity and honesty of official
administration, this is the tiny germ
which grows into the vigor which
threatens our very social life. The
citizen who first selfshly refuses to
do his civic duty, and then, in natural
descent along the easy path, becomes
the giver of bribe and the corruptor
of his fellows, is himself degraded
more and more in the process, and
the bottom is found when civic rights
and civic righteousness are alike
gotten, when duty to his neighbor no
longer demands performance, when
protection to weakness, the equality
of freemen, the conservation of hon
esty, are no longer the ends of gov
ernment, but only the securing of
peculiar privileges for a class, the
comfortable enjoyment OF a protected
license; when duty to man is forgot
ten because duty to God is denied"

Some one wrote, HE who laughs
last, laughs BEST" and the Inter
Ocean says the colored voters of
Alabama are going to have the laugh
on their would-be disfranchisers, for
when the new constitution will go
into effect there will be fully 100000
cOlored men in the state qualified to
cast their votes as the constitution
commands, and it is thought by the
time the next presidential election is
on, more colored men will be able to
intelligently cast their ballots than
ever before, owing to the fact that the
educational qualification test will de-
eide as to whether they can or can
not vote. A similar law was passed
in Maryland, and as a result that
state will become an almost certain
Republican state, though it is sup
posed to have gone Democratic at the
recent election.

The problem of settling up the
Northwest territories is again .agi-
tating the minds of the Canadians.
While a few Americans are leaving
the United States and settling in
the British possessions, the number
is so small that it can hardly be
looked upon as migratory move, and
there are very few families, com
paratively speaking, who leave the old
country and settle in Canada; but, on
the other hand, hundreds and thou
sands are finding homes in the Uni
ted States from all Of the European
countries. The average Canadian, re-
alizlng this, has grown restless over
the outlook, and is appealing to the
home government to send out Eng
lish, Irish and Scotch and any other
nationality it can, to begin to settle
up the farm lands in that country

From the Washington Star a re-
markable story is told about some
laborers finding a number of gold
bars while excavating for a building
some years ago in California. The
gold found by those men was worth
$25O,O0O, and quite pen picture has
been made by the writer over it's dis
posal. While excavating, so goes
Hthe story, an Italian found gold par.
~ wanting his companions to know
the find, he hid the same and con-
nued digging. Soon he ran on to
another bar, and continued to find SO
many that he could not keep the Sc
cret, and so the workmen agreed to
divide the gold equally among the
hive, which was done, and keep
mum. They were quite sue
cessful in getting the gold
away and concealing the same, and
after it had been sold and the money
divided among them they spent it
according to their own inclinations.
The old adage, however, that
stolen gold brings to it's possessor
bad luck seems to have been the
\ ate of those men. One of the men
bought a $4,000 farm, and in less
than five years time lost the same
through speculation. The Italian fur
nished up a home in Oakland in the
most elaborate style and, strange to
say, in five years time he had lost
every cent and was again pauper,
