the wounds of the bleeding republic

keyed up in ''the sticking point" The
Negro will help, ss he has always done
when the national honor was in peril,
Congress will soon be in session. Laws
must be made stringent against the en-
trance into the country of known an
archists, and those that are here must
be depOrted, in the interest of popular
safety. Foreigners who mean to aid in
the building up OF our institutions and
who wish to share the freedom and
equality OF the grandest government on
earth are welcome to our shores, but
those who wave the red flag of disorder
can have DO place in this family whoss
unity, security and integrity have cost
Us SO much In blood and treasure.
The President will recover. In this
all the world rejOices with q gladness
that is unfeigned. We shall go on with
uninterrupted prosperity, perhaps more
closely knit because of this common
sOrrOw- this common sympathy. In
all things we shall continue to be true
Americans, loyal to the core, ready to
do and die for the flag that represents
the land of opportunity for racesand for

REVIVAL OF KNIGHT ERRANTRY

Upon the scroll of knight errantry
the name of James Parker will stand
very near the head. These are not
war times, and the age of chivalry is
supposed to have passed into the cate
CORY of fables. Prince Arthur and his
table round' have little place in the
busy activities of the ear of our Lord

are opportunitiestO win imperiahable
fame wholly extinct. The human heart
sill thrObs with an eagerness to do
noble deeds, and the spirit of brotherly
magnanlmity still pulsates within the
soul of every well-reguIated being
This was amply demonstrated at the
Buffalo exposition, when James Parker
-"Jim Parker" may it please the
court-fung his six feet of sable man
hood into the breach, and by hurling
to the floor of the Temple of Music
with well directed blow full in the
face, prevented the would.be assassin of
President Mckinley from firing the
third, and more than likely, the fatal
shot, which would have wrapped the
nation in the garb of mourning. To
the prompt action of Slim Parker" ;"
more than to any single source on
earth, is due the salvation of the life
of our beloved Chief Executive. The
press of the country should not be mig

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER IA. 1901.
A NATIONAL CALAMITY.

The attempt upon the life of Presi
dent Mckinley was national calami'
ty. Il was a cowardly assault, not only
upon an indiv ividual whom all the peo'
pie loved, but it was an attack upon
our form of government-the stealthy
tread of anarchy upon the heel of the
American republic and organized au-
thority. Frequent as has been the as
sassinati0n of rulers within the past de
cade, the world stands aghast as this
unnatural crime, committed as it was
without the shadow of excuse. No civil
war was at hand, as was the cas9 when
the immortal Lincoln was taken away
by the bullet of Booth. No party dis
sensions were present, as was true
when Guiteau brought the career of
the lamented Garfield to an untimely
end. Peace and plenty reign, aud the
nation has just entered upon an era of
unexampled prosperity and territorial
growth. The President had made q
speech at Buffalo Outli ing these things
and pointing way toward greater re-
suits when the treacherOus hand OF
CzOlgosz was turned against him. a
more dsstardly deed has never dis
graeed the annals of American history
A more dangerous Indication of the
trend that liberty may take tOware
license has never before been chron
icled upon the scroll of national de
velepment. In denouncing such s
crime-a blow at our institutions, Oul
laws and our eternal principle-tht
American people are a unit, regardles
of locality section or color. AS dis
tinguished Negro has put It. We ar
sometimes separate as the fingers il
matters relating to the social order
but in patriotism courage, protection
to the flag and the preservation OF tn
Union and all that it stands for, We ar
one as to the hand-strong, powerful
impetuous and unrelenting.
The issue is plain. Anarchy mus
be stamped out. The murderous cui
toms that gained vogue in Europe an
which have threatened the very exiI
tence of Russia, France, Germany an
Italy must find no abiding place upo
our soil, Now is the time to act, Will

tionE, and we believe that nlne-tenthS
of the good people of this land take
this broad view of the case. Heroism Is
herOism, no matter whether the SKIN
be black or white, and Parker is every
inch hero.
A movement is on foot to give him
a suitable memorial for his timely IN
terventiOn The plan is worthy one,
and should meet with ready responses
at all hands. An article OF some kind
should be presented to him as souve'
mir of the occasion, but the most pres
sing need with q man of his respOnsl-
bilitie5 is money, and this is the form
of gift that is most apt to meet his ap-
proyal. Some reliable agency should
start the movement after a definite
system. and we are satisfied that the
people will do the rest. Let us act
promptly, and remember that she gives
twice who gives quickly"
James Parker has rendered a SER
vice that places the nstion under OBJ
legations to him, although he simply
did his duty. He has rendered his
race a service in doing that duty SO et
fectively. He has shown again that
the black man is always on the side OF
law and order-always on hand when
he is most sorely needed. His hand is
never turned against the government
nor against the forces that make for
material development. We say again
that the Negro is the safest American,
the most reliable factor that the ns-
ton has within Its borders today. The
pages of American history from
Bunker'Hill to Buffalo bear witness to
the verify of this claim, and all the
people know it. Will historians be
as eager TO record the merits of the
Negro from Crispus Attucks to james
Parker as they have been to place IN
evidence his faults and weaknesses?
Such ehivalry, such revival OF
knight errantry. such splendid man
hood as that displayed at Buffalo by
James Parker ought to go far toward
redeeming the reputation OF the Ne
gro race. Such nobility of soul ought
to give us lofty place upon the roll
of honor of all the centuries.

EMBREASO CLUBS FINAL MEETING

The closing meeting of the Embreaso
club was held I'm the parlors OF the Ly-
Lyman House on Franklin street yester-
day afternoon. the hostess being Mrs.
George III. Thurston.
The interest OF the afternoon centered
In a lecture by Mrs. Gertrude Rugg Field,
entitled Ariel, a Spirit Among Things
Divine"
In the absence OF the president OF the
club. the chair was occupied by Mrs.
George Kelton, the vice presidents. who
gracefully presented the speaker.
Mrs. Field acknowledged the introduc-
ton In "A most happy manner, which at
once put her en- rapport with her hearers.
In beginning she said: The wings OF
the world are its ina aginings. The gravi-
tation of the senses is toward earth :
lowest plane, the uplift OF the lmagina-
ton il TO the skies Of spiritual service,
the source OF the souls serenity.
Imagination invariably elevates. while
fancy's cloak may be mantle OF charity
for either vice or virtue; Imagination is
master over the mysteries OF eternity;
fancy is but handmaiden I'm the courts
OF the king
imagination Is creative; fancy is con-
structiYe. Imagination may penetrate
even the exact sciences as well as point
moral or adorn tale; fancy finds no
foothold in the realms OF mechanics or
pnlloS0phy-nO open doOr leauins 10 tne
land Of logic or of law. Imagination Is
born Of the truth; fancy may be her twin.
or the offspring OF sin or deceit.
imagination gives into the essence OF
being; fancy goes with its outward ex-
preston. Imaginst ton conceives the de-
sign, fancy weaves the tapestry.
Imagination discovers the divine In
nature and i'm man; fancy gives the dis
covery local habitation and name.
Hence II becomes a foregone conclusion
that Imagination has a wisdom and a
meaning which may speak or spiritual
secrets TO the ear OF spirit
THE interpreters of imagination are
the worlds poets. its prophets and its
seers."
Analyzing still further the meaning OF
lima gina ton, the speaker said: We may
agree with James Russell Lowell that
the highest form OF imagination Is the
drs matte.
