NO MORE CABLE LINES.


If Marconi's wireless telegraphy ex-
periment proves to be what it really
seems to be at this writing, an inven-
ton and scientific discovery Will
have been born to the world which
will be the greatest of all the sc1en-
tific discoveries of modern times.
Marconi declares that he has received
distinct signals from the coast OF
Wales on the coast of Nova Scotia IN
this country. Powerful electrical ma
chimes were built in England and
from these signals were sent across
the ocean, which were received by
delicate machines on this side of the
waters. It is further stated that the
steamers Etruria and Umbria, while
in mid-ocean were in communication
with each other five hours before
either vessel had sighted the other
which was done by the Marconi wire
less telegraphic system. These yes
sells exchanged greetings, told of theil
passenger lists, and exchanged The
news from the two countries in mid
ocean, just the same as would tw'
telegraph operators on land. If Mar
coni's system proves a success, an'
there seems to be no doubt of it, sim
liar machines as have already beer
built in England will be built in tn
United States, and these will receiv
and send messages across the ocea
under the new system. Maroon
hopes that he will have the system S
perfected by the time of the coroni
tion of the king, June 26th next, tha
the entire proceedings will be sent
this countrw by the wireless tell
graph system.

lutely useless, as neither one of them,
though they happen to run the gaunt-
signature of the president, can ever
become effective. Representative
Kicth1n Of North Carolina has intro
duced a bill asking for the repeating
of the Fifteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States.
Granted that congress will pass the
measure, the amendment would be
no nearer repealed than if nothing
had been done along that line The
amendment to the constitution was
put there my majority of the states
favorably voting for it, and if it be
removed it must be either voted down
by majority of the states or decll"-
ed unconstitutional by the United
States supreme court, and when Mr..
Kicthin introduced this bill he did SO
for no other purpose than to try in
his feeble and Insignificant way to
offer an insult to the North
for it's passage, and likewise
insult President Roosevelt for
entertaining colored man at
| dinner not long since. Representa-
tive Moody has introduced a bin, hav-
| ing for its object the protection of
colored citizens against lynching in
default of state protection. In order
for Mr.. Moody's bill to become effec-
abridging the rights granted to the
various states by the constitution of
the United States, and in order to do
this majority of the various states
of the Union would have to cast q
| favorable vote on this proposition.
This will not be done, but unless it
is done, it will be impossible for the
United States to protect citizens in
the various states from mob violence
unless it first declares such common
wealth in an insurrectionary state
and put the same under martial law
Perhaps Mr.. Moody's intentions were
good, but it sounds more like politi
cal buncombe than a meritorious act
There are things that Mr.. Moody anG
his associates can do that will really
benefit the colored people, and among
them is the reduction of the number
of congressman from the South, ani
if they will do this they will take {
long step toward bringing peace an(
harmony to the Southern states.

STRUCK A VOLCANO.


Drilling for oil in California is be-
coming so common that there are but
few counties in the state at present
that do no have heir wouId-be oil
operaors. 1t is estimated that South
ern California has a complete oil
stratum underlying the entire terri
tory. Already so much oil has been
found in that section of the country
that it is being sold at twenty Gems
a barrel, while he consumers of the
same oil in the state of Washington.
not over thousand miles, If that far
away, are compelled to pay twenty
five cents per gallon for it. While
drilling for oil in Los Angeles a few
days ago, all of sudden, after the
drillers had reached a depth of 500
feet, sudden kissing of steam and
sulphuric acid rushed from the mouth
of the boring and in a few seconds
more the drill and all of its attending
fixtures dropped out of sight, and
then a tremendous rush of steam
poured out of the mouth of the
would-be well, and it was very appar-
ent that subterranean volcano had
been tapped. While oil had been
found in the community, it was very
apparent that there would be no oil
found in that particular place, which
is from 200 to 800 feet below the sea
level. 1t is at he base of Mount San
Jacinto, which is 10,997 feet above the
level of the surrounding country, and
which it is thought will soon become
the crater of a burning volcano. Ac-
cording to biologists, who have since
visited the country, the entire section
is a slumbering volcano, which will
sooner or later break out and prove
very detrimental to the surrounding
country.

PREPARING FOR WAR.

PREPARING FOR WAR.
Unless all previous war signs fail,
the roaring dogs of war of both Ar
gentina and Chile will be baying each
other at llong distance before many
more hours. Territory, which has
long been in dispute between these
two republics, is causing the present
lwar. Though treaties have been re-
peatedly signed looking forward to a
peaceful settlement of the matter be-
tween the two governments, never
theless they seem determined to go to
war. not so much over the disputed
territory as over the phraseology OF
the treaty, which each nation con-
strues in it's own peculiar way. From
a fighting standpoint Chile and Ar
gentina are about equally divided,
and. if it should happen that they
would finally decide to arbitrate their
differences by the bayonet and the
cannon instead of by diplomacy, a
bloody war will be the result. Our
South American sister republics seem
to be eternally involved in some kind
of an international dispute and war
is always being threatened between
some one of them, which chaotic state
will continue until the United States
sees fit to go down there and arbl'
trate their differences and forcibly
assume a protectorate over the entire
lump lot of them.

HAS BEEN RATIFIED
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty has
been ratified by the senate, and if it
meets a like approval in the house Of
parliament it wkill become an inter-
national law so far as this country and
England are concerned, and the Uni
ted States as a result will at once
become mistress of the entire West
ern world. With the title of .ile
Danish West Indies islands in her
possession it would be worse than
folly for any European power to
make war upon the United States
with the expectation of doing more
than harass her vessels of COM
merce in foreign waters. The Mica
raguan canal will now be constructed
across the isthmus of Panama, which
will be guarded by United States
troops, and the same will be used by
our government as commercial in
vestment in times of peace and as a
strategic stronghold in times of war,
especially when the United States is
involved.
Before another issue of The Repub-
lican will greet you the most of the
concerts, musicals and recitals will

fitting at this time to suggest that we
cherish the hope that all vulgar 'coon
songs" will be omitted from the
Christmas programmes, such as Gust
Because She Made Dem Goo-Goo
Eyes" Coon, Coon, | wish My Color
Would Change" and ''If You Amt
Got No Money You Needn't Come
Around" 1t is a mistake to say that
the above songs portray the charac-
ter of the Negro, and no higher au-
thority than Bob Cole and Johnson
have disapproved such rot. The
above named gentlemen are today
the greatest song writer's of the age
and to have them put the ban on
such vulgar, meaningless conglomer
alton of nonsensical stuff means much
for the race 1t does not mean the
Negro will be lost sight of in this
! change 1t may interest many tC

sCHLEY FOUND GUILTY.

SCHLEY FOUND GUILTY.
The sensation of the season is the
Schley verdict, the results of the
court OF inquiry appointed for that
purpose some months ago by Secre-
tary Long. Two members of the
court decided against Admiral Schley.
to the effect that he was vacilIating
as a commander and unwilling to obey
orders, while the other member. Ad-
miral Dewey, decided that he was in
full command at the battle of Santi-
ago and that he did everything be-
coming a marine commander. AS
the verdict stands, however, Admiral
Schley will go down in history as
condemned man, though he has the
@roval of one of the greatest sea
~-1aptains of the age. Where there is
so much smoke there must be some
fire, and The Republican firmly be-
ieves that the court of inquiry has
honestly reached the conclusions that
cepts the same as fair and impartial
verdict. Admiral Schley is not only
deserving of the censure of the court
of inquiry, but, in the opinion of Tho
Republican, the court of inquiry
should have gone a step further and
recommended that he be dishonorably
discharged from the navy The
Democratic friends of the admiral in
congress have already introduced bills
in both houses asking congress to in
vestigate the affair. This is nothing
more nor less than a political boom,
looking forward to Admiral Schley
becoming the Democratic candidate
for president of the United States. Iii
The Republican makes no mistake,
this has been the sole object of all
this Schley agitation. The Demo
cratic party was at loss for a candi-
date for president and it hoped to use
Admiral Schley as catspaw to pull
their political chestnuts out of the
fire. The Republican papers that are
giving much space as well as consid-
1eration to this Schley matter will re-
gret very much before many months
that they have done SO, for it is a po-
litical trick pure and simple, and all
of those Republican editorials that
have been soldering over Schley's
imaginary greatness will be used by
unscrupulous Democratic politicians
to boom Schley's nomination and
election for president of the United
States in 1904.

MORTUARY.
ALVIN HENRY CHASE

was born May lst, 1926, and died May
2Sth, 1901, aged 65 years and % days.
He was born near Pawling, New York,
where he remained until his parents
came in 1855 to Garden Grove, Decatur
county, Iowa, and located. Here on
the goth of January, 1916, he was united
in marriage to Belinda Norris, and they
5'.climbed the hill together" till January
Z, 1900, when she was taken and he left
to finish the journey alone. To them
were born seven children, one son and
six daughters, of whom but three are
living, the others having died in youth.
These are Ara, who lived with heEfather.
Mrs. Eva Dawson, of Washington, and
Mrs. Ada Crabtree, of Nebraska.
At the age of seventeen years Mr..
Chase began preaching and was known
in the part of New York where he lived
as the ''bov preacher" He continued
in the active work of the ministry until
1890 when, by reason of failing health
he was forced to retire. his last pastor
ate being at Humeston, Iowa. In 1875
he came with his family to Redfield,
where he remained till his death, with
the exception of two years spent at
Humeston. February 20, 1864, he en-
listed in his country's service as pri-
vate in Co. D. 39th Iowa, anil received
his discharge at Louisville, Kentucky,
July IL, 1865. During his service he
participated IN two regular battles and
number of skirmishes. He was with
Sherman on the famous ''march to the
sea- and it was always matter of
great pride that though the march was
excessively arduous, he never failed to
answer at roll call or to stack arms with
his company each night when halt was
made. He was an active member Of the
q, A. r. and for many years he held the
Office of adjutant in the local post.
Though MIR. Chase had been sufferer
for years he was patient and uncom-
planning amidst all. To friend who
called on him short time before he
died he said with smile, 81 always see
the bright side Of things" "What il
there be no bright side" the friend
asked. He replied instantly, "Then ]
1 make bright side to it," With this
nature of hope and sunshine he carried
cheer to many hearts during his minis.
terial career.-Redield Enterprise.
