The Business Negro.

Chicago, Ill, Sept, Is, 1901.
Dear Sir; As heard great deal of
ak during the National Negro Busi-
ness League ss to how the Negro could
succeed in business and 1 viii say that
the best way and the only way that I
see for the Negro TO succeed in busln eEs
is for the coIored people who are not in
business TO patronizs the modest en-
deavors of those who are in busineE s
and be certain to PAY for what they get.

The Spirit OF Parker.
EEEEEE

There is something in the character
of Parker which cOmmends itself and
him to all good thinking Americans.
Recently, when the proceeds of bene-
fit from syracuse was rendered him, as
remuneration, he refu ed to accept it,
sta ing that he but did his duty. The
managers insisted upon his receiving it
in some way. whereupOn the amount
$500 was sent to his aged mother.

travelling in the state visiting seversl
places among them Georgetown, Flor
ence, Darlington and Sumter, At
Georgetown we met many influential
Negroes. Mr.. George Herriott gentle
man of considerable l)cal prominence,
has been Superintendent Of Education |
for Georgetown County for over twenty |
years and has given complete satisfac- |
tion to both white and colOred teachers
and patrons. Any one meetirg Mr..
HerrOitt will quickly detect that he is
q man Of very large amount OF CON-
mon sense; cautious and conservative
he is respected and honored by all. Mr..
r. P. Anderson. q cClyred man, has
charge Of the post office; many OF the
Custom House officials are Negroes.
The surprising thing about Georgetown
colored people is that they are not more
extensively engaged in mercantile pull
suits. Messrs. Herr:ott aud Ford do q
thriving fish business on large scale,
There are also few grocery stores and
fish markets in the town. Shortly be-
fore the arrival Of the writer IN GeorgE-
town the Negroes met and organized a
Building and Loan Association. Il
came about in this way, the white pee
pie there refused to allow the Negro to
ioin their ASSOCIATION. At the time Oi
the writer's visit they had almost sue

NEGRO CRIMINALITY,
The Charge That it is Abnormal Calmly
Considered.
New York sum

To the Editoa of the Sun-Sir: My
remarks on the Negro question have
called forth letter, the writer OF which
notes that he is an Englishmap settled
in America; that he came without the
slightest prejudice against the Negro,
believing him to be as truly man So
himself, but that experience has COM
pletely changed his view. The Negro, |
he now thinks, sat certain age Is like
q dog or a rooster, so far as any control
of the sexual instincts is concerned. "
In support OF this statement he cites
facts too circumstantial for IeprOduc-
ton.
Here is q puzzle. I was in the United
States toward the close OF the civil
War and nothing is more imprinted on
NV memory than the credit which the
Negroe received for falthfulness In
their keeping Of the families OF South
eruers who were absent at the War'
The fact was cited by both parties BY
the South as a proof that there was
good in slavery; by the North as a
proof of the moral qualities OF the Ne
gro.
In Jamaica forty y ears ago the antt :
qonism Of race between the whites and
blacks came to violent head. A local
and accidental riot was magnit1ed bY

whites iLtO a general lnsurTectIon: anC
the result was the Jamaica MASSACRE
Ia The con 5roversy whicheIsued and Il
which NV attention was especially d
rected, everything that could be saiC
was said by the whites against tn
blacks. But do not remember to hav
heard q word about Negro addiction t
sexual outrsge. Nor do we htar G

now.
That the antagOnism of race is il

LABOR PRESIDENT IMPRISONED.
President Of Federation Of Labor Imprisoned
Porto RIco Tor Conspiracy 10 Raise Wages

San Juan, Porto Rio,c Dec, I3.-San'
,iago Iglesias, president Of the Fedora
ton OF Workmen Of Porto Rico, together
with nine corporations, was tried in the
district court Of San Juan yesterday on
charge CT conspiracy. Today lglesias
was sentenced to three years four months
and eight days, Imprisonment, Seven OF
his companions were sentenced TO four
months Imprisonment, while two were
acquittedior the charge OF being the
founders Of an illegal association and
conspiracy In August, 1000, to raise the
price Of labor in Porto Rico, lgleslas,
as the founder Of the conspiracy, gets
the heaviest sentence. The other men
were merely his associates in ihe crime.
Under Spanish law, which Is still in
force heae, persons convicted OF a crime
have to pay tae costs The local Fed
Grafton Of the workmen Of Porto Rico,
which is now part OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor under the presidency
nf Samuel Gompers, has been ordered
dissolved as it has been adjudged ille-
gal because Of this conspiracy.
Mr. Savage, Judge Of the district court
dissented as to the illegalty of the local
federation although he agreed that Igle-
slas was guilty of conspiracy to raise
the price Of labor in August, 1000, when
the currency OF Porto Rico was changed.
At that time nearly all the merchants
and employers here raised their prices
from pesos to dollars, an advance of
forty cents Iglesias did the same, con-
tending that he only raised wages in pro-
portion to other increases, This con-
stitutes the conspiracy.
The case has been appealed to the SUI
preme court of Porto Rico, where it
probably will be heard in a month,
Pending this appeal lglesias is at lib
erty.

the Associated Press conveyed the first
information Of the hndings Of the court
to Admiral Schley. He was seated In
the public reception room Of a hotel
chatting with friends and several news
paper men, and evidenced no signs of
nervousness over the outcome,
When the conclusions OF Admiral
Dewey we're read to him, Admiral Sehley
showed his pleasure andit was evident
from his manner that he regarded the
statement Of Admiral Deweya vindiea-
ton of his cause, He declined TO make
any statement concerning the courts
findings, and exeuslng himself from the
little crowd which had gathered about
him went TO his apartments where Mrs
Schley had been anxiously awaiting to
hear the decision. Later the official
copy was brought to the hotel by a mes

The other day as the Rounder was
walking down the street, wondering (ii
meat continues to go up) whether he
could afford a piece Of liver rnce a
week, bright, chubby little boy ran
out of a gate and toward a man who
was evidently on his way home, so says
the Louisiana Press. The little fellow
stretched out his arms and said papa
papa! papa! As soon as the man saw
the child a scowl came over his face,
go back there; you g. d. little devil
or I'll break your neck" The little fel-
low tucked his head and walked back
before his father--if that word could be
applied to such brute, The little boy,
who is three and a half or four years
old, has no doubt got very dark
future before him. No words OF kind
ness to ever encourage him to grow up
right, no one to teach him and point
out the path that leads to decrncy and
honor. II at some future time this little
rosy-cheek boy fills convlct's cell II
will be the fault Of his father, and peo-
pie will say what else could you ex.
