BROTHER
IN BLACK

IN BLACK
Much is being said at present
about the anarchist societies that are
to be found in the United States.
whose chief object for existing is to
murder the rulers Of countries. This
has been more prominently brought
to the minds Of the citizens on ac-
count Of the recent numbering Of the
president Of the United States. II
will be remembered that the death of
King Hmbert was planned and
plotted in the United States, and
the widow Of the wretch who did the
dastardly deed, is now a resident of
this country. While the Brother in
Black is not a pessimist and does
not wish to bring his cause into ev-
erything that comes along, yet il
would be a good idea while this sub
ject is before the public to make
preparations to root out all forms OF
anarchism and drive it from the
country, Leon Czolgosz is a nc
more dangerous anarchist than is
Ben TilIman, Of South Carolina, and
if Ben Tillman and his followers
had their just deserts they would be
behind the bars, Just the same as is
the wretch who slew the president.
Within the past twenty years, as was
published in last weeks Republican,
5000 persons have been unlawfully
murdered mostly by the anarchists
Of the South, and it is here suggest
ed that these anarchists be hunted
down and driven from the country
the same as those who live in New
York and New jersey. The ques-
ton is squarely before the American
people now and they should settle
it before leaving it. If the question
is not settled and settled properly,
the United States Will become the
most murderous hotbed Of any coun-
try in the world. Drive the Ben
Tillman anarchists from the United
States and let the citizens Of this
country have peace, which they will
if Southern anarchists and Northern
anarchists, one and alike, be Danish
ed to some land or island where
semi-barbarism reigns supreme.
After the death of the president.
James r. Parker, the Atlanta Negro
who knocked Czolgocz down before
he could shoot the president a third
time, suddenly became a hero, and
the clothes that he wore we're liter
ally torn from his body by persons
who desired a piece Of them as rel
les. A couple Of men bought the
shoes that he wore and gave him
$25 apiece for them, while the but
tons on his coat brought from 81 to
s. apiece. Eevery particle Of the
mans clothes were sold at fabulous
prices to the relic hunters, and Par
ker himself, who was a waiter on the
exposition grounds, became the cen
ter Of attraction to all who visited
the grounds. 1t is currently report
ed that the government will award
Parker for his act, a splendid posi-
ton and a pension for life. He
weighs $50 pounds and is shiny
black. Parker is a man of not much
educational qualification, and has
been railroad porter for the most
of his life, and has only been in
Buffalo during the lifetime Of the
exposition, whittier he went on the
idea that he could make an immense
sum, from his standpoint as a table
waiter on the exposition grounds.
The Afro-Americans of the
Northwest well remember Rev. A.
Dendy, who at one time was a mem
Der Of the Puget Sound A. NJ. f.
conference and who held charge
at Nanaimo. He was transferred to
the Texas conference, where he be-
came one Of the teachers in the
Methodist schools Of that state. A
great change since that time has
come over Rev. Dendy, and he is
now priest in the Catholic church
instead Of preacher in the shouting
Methodist church.
