Preacher Dealt fn OIL

The Rev. Philip E. Holp. the young
pastor of the Congregational church at

congregation by a unanimous vote,

mony in the church. The charge against
the minister was that he was dealing

speculations were not for personal

John Browns Soul I'm Canada

The negro as he takes his flight from
the sunny south to The frozen north
seems to carry with him his gay and
frollcsome disposition. In point of fact
he seems to be the same kind of citi-
zen as his brother who lives in Georgia
and Arkansas. 1t is also a oteworthy
fact that as the negro spreads over the
land the disposition Of the white people
to lynch him seems to follow. We are
led to these reflections by the following
extract from the Quebec Chronicle of
October End. OF course, these remark
are not intended to apply to the whole
colored race. That race contains a
great number of most m citi-
zens who are deeply gTieved at the dis
credit which is brought upon their color
by the unworthy and lawless element.
The lawless and criminal eiement is
out of all proportion to the aggregate
number of negroes. Sc large it is that
their control and suppression in COM
munities where there is a considerable
colored population becomes one of the
most difficult problems of local govern
ment.
The Quebec Chronicle says:
THE young factory girl named Math-
leu, who was menaced last week by a
negro. who presented a pistol at her
while walking along st. Waller street,
st. Sauveur. is now at her home on
Bayard street, suffering from nervous
prostration. The police are still after
the offender and have a strict surveil-
lance over a number of young colored
men residing at the east end of the
city, who are accused of other offenses.
1t appears hat a farmer named de
Maily, from Lorette, was assaulted near
St. Peters market a few nights ago,
with the evident intention of robbery,
by two negroes. Two young men, res
idents of st. Sauveur, were also at
f0nRa6 tho n n ni0hf NV tu-0 rn-r0na
who forced them to seek refuge in Mr..
Poulin's fruit store, on Parent street.
The people of Sa. Sauveur threaten to
take the law in their own hands if the
culprits are not arrested by the police"
The colored population Of the far
northern city of Quebec is doubtless in
considerable. There is an ample police
force for the protection of the people,
and yet the public evaporation is so
great against the young negroes that
there is ak of lynch law. In the
southern states, where, ~unhappily,
there are so many lynchings, the white
people are sparsely scattered through
places where they are often outnumber-
ed by the blacks. From the nature of
the situation police protection is impos-
sible. Women and children, when their
husbands and fathers are absent at
their vocations. or when they go upon
the public highways, are 6efenseless
n fall easily a prey to the lust or the
murderous instinct OF a negro brute.
There is the provocation for the lynch
ing, and when the same p~rovocation
takes place in New York, in Colorado,
Ohio, Kansas. Illinois, indiana we have
the same result. Manifestly, therefore,
the Southern people are not different in
their feelings toward the negro GRIM
inal from their white brethren in the
north Or even in Canada--Baltimore

CANAL AND CAHLE BILLS
These Important Measures TO be Press
ed i'm Next Congress-

Washington, November 14.-Repre-
sentative Hepburn. of Iowa, chairman
of the Interstate and foreign COM
merce committee of the house, and Rep
r~esentative Sherman, of New York, q
m of the same committee, had a
long conference with the president to-
day about isthmian canal and Pacific
cable legislation.
A. a result of the consultation they
announced that it was their purpose to
press legislation on both subjects at the
earliest possible moment.
The canal bill which passed the house
at the last session will be r~e-introduc-
ed in substantially the form in which
it was passed las winter No delay is
anticipated in the committee, as the
whole subject has been canvassed thor
oughly. Colonel Hepburn told the pres
ident that the bill undoubtedly would
command a large majority in the house.
The cable bill also will be practically
identical with the one reported from
the committee during the last con-
gress. 1t provides for the laying Of the
cable by a private corporation under a
contract with the postmaster general
with an alternative provision for the
building of the cable by the govern
ment if no satisfactory contract can be
made.
1t is understood that the president
conceurred in the proposed programme.

Raleigh, N. c., November II.

Raleigh, N. c., November II.
A summary of the criminal statistics
of the state since their collection began
in 1889 has been made by your corre-
~Ispondent. 1t shows that during that
lperiod go APO criminal actions have been
disposed of. Of the defendants in these
As. SOP were whites, Al, 662 negroes and
l209 Indians. Of them 74S were charged
with murder in the first degree, 222 in
the second degree; 16S with rape; 12l
with arson; 223 with burglary in the
first degree, 154 in the second degree;
I162 with manslaughter. There were
lonly II legal executions out of 1,26O
lcapital cases, or less than one in 100.
There were Is lynchings. OF the per-
sons lynched 10 were whites, 8 negroes;
Ito were charged with murder, 3 ape,
IA rape and murder, / abduction. The
proportion of the races is t~wo-thirds
whites, one-third negroes; hat of
crime is as 5 black to 6 white.
The state superintendent of public
instruction has compiled the reports of
~lcounty superintendent for 1901, save
as to Mitchell county. The books of
that county were all swept away by
the flood last May. The number OF
white boys this year is 231, 375, against
l223,6 99 last year; white girls 21S, 056,
lagainst 215. 439, making the increase
this year in number Of children OF
white boys is Isl, 576, against 140,1 S9 last
year; and Of white girls 13S, 602, against
l130. 256. making the increase in enroll
lment 10, 731. The average attendance
this year is 1922, against 142, Alb last
year. This shows the remarkable in
l~crease Of 1853.
There was some comment here today
on the application for leave to file a bill
of complaint on the part of the state
lof South Dakota, against this state to
sell the North Carolina railway in or
lder to pay the holders of the
Western North Carolina. 1t is the be-
lief here that the persons who held
Western North Carolina railroad bonds
(repudiated by the people by q vote)
made a dummy transfer of them to
lSouth Dakota, as they could not sue
the state, while South Dakota can bring
lsuit. One thing is certain and that Is
that the suit will be an immense aid to
1.-THE democrats in their next campaign.
THE suit amounts to nothing. The
bonds in question are worthless. The
lpeople Of the state ave so declared by
Ian overwhelming majority. Perhaps a
score of schemes have been attempted
by the holders Of the bonds, who OF
course got them for a song.
Miss Pearl Elliott, Of Hickory, whose
marriage to NJ. c.. Sheriff., of that place,
was frustrated here two weeks ago by
the president of the college she attend
ed in this city, went to Salisbury last
might, with her father and was there
married. Mr.. Sheriff. is q son of NJ. o.
ISherill, state librarian.
The police mad a raid this morning
and captured nine tramps in the sub
urbs of Raleigh. All will be put at
work on the roads.
Preparation meetings are being
held this week to prepare the way for
