Let us arbitrate. All the whites are
not our enemies. They were not when
most of us were ignorant slaves and
a way will sooner or later be found
to relieve us of many of the burdens
we now labor under. We must, how
ever, do something for ourselves
mentally, morally, financially. Edu-
caticn, good morals and money will
get us out of the woods more surely
than fighting. Our enemies in Ten
nessee tried to pass a law prohibiting
whites from teaching in Afro-Ameri-
can institutions, but failed. In North
Carolina they tried to pass law pro-
hibiting the licensing CT Afro-Ameri-
can lawyers and doctors, but failed.

The latest solution of the Negro
Problem, as it is generally known
says Miss Carrie E. Busby of st. 10.
seph, Mich, is a race war. She says:
we believe too much in faith with
out works. Never will our fellowmen
IN the South be wholly free from on
preston, and innocent men wholly re-
lieved from fear of lynching until they
hght. Let the regiments which fought
at Santiago to free Cuba now turn
about and fight to free themselves.
We dc not agree with the young
lady, though it does seem that some
thing must be done to check the ten
dency to deprive us Of everything
which makes life worth living, even
if we have to fight. We know, of
course, that one-eighth cannot hope
TO win in a fight against seven eighths,
yet it would be terrible if the one
eighth succeeded in wiping out an
other eighth, which we might do.
though finally wiped out ourselves.
But we want none Of that, ne don't

The present south town Chicago Off
Gals have an excellent record for hon.
esty and efficiency and the collector
and supervisor should be renominated.
The clerk having received a federal
appointment is out of the race. The
collections of taxes this year will break
all records. The collector, Mr.. II. H.
Fuller, is a painstaking and conscien-
tious official who has run the Office on
strictly business plan just as he
promised to do when he was a candi-
date for office. Mr.. William ]. Lawler,
the supervisor, is clean, capable and
popular official, who has conducted his
Office in an excellent manner. Under
Democratic rule there were many scan
dals in the south town Office, but this
year with Republicans at the head of
affairs everything has been done in
such manner as to reflect credit upon
all parties connected with the office.
Collector Fuller and Supervisor Law
Ter have fairly won a denomination,
then put a clean, honest Afro-Ameri-
can for clerk and the ticket will sweep
the town.

Incidents Concerning Beginning of a

The Collins line of American steam

Later. on April 81, 1S49, its first YES
SELL. the steamer Atlantic, sailed from
New York. The line was withdrawn in
1857, soon after the government had
refused to renew the mail contract
with it. The history Of its steamers,
briefly told, is as follows: On Septem-
Der ~, 1854, the Arctic came into col
hslon with the French steamer Vesta
and was sunk, only few of her pas
sengers being, saved; On January %,
1896, the Pacific sailed from Liverpool
With 240 persons on board, including
the wife of Mr.. Collins, and was never
heard Of afterward; the Atlantic was
broken up in New York in 1878; the
Adrlatic, built at Greenpoint,. n Y, by
Steers, was sold to the Galway COM
pany, and was afterward used as a
coal hulk in England; the Baltic was

BENZ min, Harrison's; lunch.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison.
one of the ablest men who has figured
IN cur public life, has always besn
handicapped by his unresponsive, cold
manner. When he was in the senate,
at Washington, D: c., in the early sos,
he always brought, his luncheon to the
committee ROOM. He carried it in his
coat pocket and would eat it while he
went on with his work. One day when
he got it cut as usual from his pocket
he looked it all over ruefully, for it
did look rather fiat and dubious. He
finally remarked to those near by that
he guessed he must have sat ON it ae-
cidentally.. One of his colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by Har-
rison-spoke up impulsively: well,
by Jove, Harrison. if you've sat on it.,
I'll bet you sixpence it is frozen
solid and Of course a shout went up
from the whole committee. Harrison
took the joke kindly and joined in the
laugh.

AS near as possible I am going to
give you a description Of the grand
feast which the natives have been cele-
brating here since the 21st and which
lasts until Christmas. They built a
large stage right in front of the bar
racks and produced play from Shaks-

learn from the natives, but it was GER
tainly fine, although we couldn't I'M
derstand what they said, but had a
good laugh at the jester, the actors and
actresses were good. People were here
from all the towns around. A band of
about thirty pieces came from Agoo
six miles south Of here, and another
one of about eighteen pieces came from
Tabana, seven miles east. The cos
tunes were simply grand and cost
quite a large sum of money. There
were several dances given by the select
folks of the town, attended by officers
and non-commissioned officers. There
is one given tonight at the secretary's
house, but as I have just returned to-
