days are of greater magnitude than
could be negotiated by the richest ma
tions of the earth at the beginning of
the century. J. P. Morgan stands at
the head of the banking fraternity of the
United States and is chief of the an
thracite coal trusts, owning both mines
and railroads. John D. Rockefeller is
the head of the Standard Oil, and has
ar annual income equal to the entire
capital invested in the average of our
great railway systems.
These two men and their associates
are engaged in the work of bringing all
the great railway systems of the coun-
try under one common management

work that they are now able to force

roads, and, with Rockefeller. has just
purchased the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul system, completing their line
from New York to Seattle, Wash The
following dispatch from Chicago tells
of their latest deal:
President Albert J. Earling, of the
Chicago, Milwaukee ST. Paul railway,
Saturday sold his 10000 shares of stock
in the road.
The line has passed into the control
o. ]. j. Hill, j. Pierpont Morgan and
John D. Rockefeller.
Mr.. Earling enjoys the distinction of
being president and general manager of
n company in which he does not own
single share of stock He has made a
profit of $4,000 on his stock and does
not know whether he is to be retained
in an official capacity by the new man
agement.
James j. Hill will enter the directory
or the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road in few days, and within month
it will be part of continuous line under
one control from New York to Seattle
The Baltimore & Ohio road may be the
Eastern link.
The big purchases made by Hill and
his supporters did not figure in the mar
ket transactions. They were made out

ing with the holders.
Earling was not the only big Chi
cagoan to part with his stock. Marshall

their support. Their good angel is at
one ear prompting them to act honestly
and promising them the appreciation OF
their fellow citizens. The devil is at
the other ear, sack in hand, tempting
them with more money for single vote

pect to have. Nine times out of ten the

such temptation?
How will it be when ownership and
control go hand in hand? The agents
will then fix the rates consumers pay
but they will have no motive in this
case except to make record for hon
est and economical management They
will take pride in showing that they
reduced the charges below those mace
by their predecessors. The money coll
lected will go into the treasury; they
will not touch one dollar of it and
they must account for every dollar they
spend So that, under municipal con-
troll without ownership, you beset your
agents with terrible temptation, from
which they emerge with tainted names,
and you have perennial scandals and
disgraceful rows. Under municipal
ownership and control, you have no
temptation assailing your agents, and
you have no scandals nor rows.
Mr.. Symmes asserts that nothing can
be claimed for public ownership from

tages Of time. place and weapon are with
the elder champion. He represents sort
or democracy which has been supposed to
De mVmcible In South Carolina, and which
no democrat there, until recently, has
dared even to assail. His hold upon the
machine is stronger than that of his COM
petitor. The traditions of the party are
with him. He is a dangerous fighter any
where, and a particularly tough antago-
MIST on the ground he now occupies.
on the other hand, Senator McLaurin
STANDS In South Carolina for a new concep-
ton of the duty and interest Of the south
ern democrat with regard to the larger
policies of national and local development.
The spirit OF a new age of southern pros
perity is with him, or is bound to be with
him as soon as it fully comprehends the
significance Of his attitude. The angle of
departure was marked by him as long ago
as when he voted for the ratification of
the treaty Of Paris. The creed of discon-
tent and obstruction written down at Chi
cagO IN 1896 and four years later reiterated
at Kansas City is obsolete for him. so far
as 1t hampers the progress Of his state and
people. In the coming contest Mr..
McLaurin holds the principles that will
prevail In the long run, and the only ques-
ton is whether the issue is thus directly
made too soon for the good Of his individ-
ual fortunes.
The joint resignation throws the field
open to all candidates ambitious to sit in
the United States Senate for South Caro-
lima. A multitude of aspirants, however,
will not obscure the fact that 1t Is TILL
manism against McLaurinism-the old and
the moribund against liberal ideas of hope
and progress.

friends at the north" dwelt strongly upon
how the colored people appreciated the
generous kindness and sympathetic inter
est of the people north in their welfare.
Charles r. Douglass briefly recounted the
brilliant achievements of the negro upon
the field of battle in the revolution, the
war of 1S12, the civil war and the recent
Spanish-American war. The negro as
citizen treated by William l.. Board,
who took occasion to say that the negro
had proved himself to be a aw-abiding
citizen, and that as to certain crimes
charged against him it was needless to
presume his guilt until 1t was proved be-
fore proper tribunal. E. NJ. Gregory, In
responding to the toast Higher educa-
tion," addressed himself to those who have
been pleased to say that higher education
has made the negro dissatisfied and I'M
happy. 1t was clear, he said, that those
present. all Of whom had received this ed
ucation could better testify as to its effect
upon them than those who observed from
a distance.
The negro was shown by Mt John II.
Paynter to have had an honorable career
in the United States navy. While not so
many had seen service in the navy, yet
they had been conspicuous in many of the
great naval battles-at New Orleans. at
Mobile with Farragut and at Manila Bay
with Dewey.
The next speaker, Robert Pelham. 1r.,
said the negro north was engaged In ether
pursuits besides barbering and waiting,
and that his material progress was wonder
full, considering the difficulties under which
he had labored.
DR.. George H. Richardson briefly traced
the career Of the guest Of the evening, Mr..
John P. Green. DIR. Richardson pronounced
him to be fearless leader, with the ability
and the courage to expose the false and to
contend forcibly for truth.
At the conclusion of the address OF Mt.
Green, Lewis H. Douglass moved that
committee of five be appointed on perma-
nent organization. After elaboration the
committee returned and recommended,
through the chairman, Mr. Douglass that
John p Green Of Ohio be made president,
w. @. Atwood, jr., of Michigan secretary,
John Hall of Illinois treasurer, Charles r.
Douglass Of New York first vice president
and Hamilton S. Smith of Massachusetts
chairman of the executive committee en-
powered to draw up constitution. The
recommendations Of the committee were
unanimously adopted and the meeting i'd

Street Noises.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Now that hot weather Is approaching and
the street noises are becoming all the more
aggravating by reason Of open windows
and doors, 1 write this to enlist The Star
in behalf of peace and quiet. The fish howl
ers have become possibly less numerous,
but those who have quit the field seem to
have left their voices to the remaining
ones. The more horrible the sound of the
vendors voice the louder the yells. The
strawberry shouter. with his force Of half
clad negroes, is now greatly in evidence,
and life is really becoming a burden. Why
should quiet, aw-abiding people in this
capital Of the nation be subjected to the
shouts and yeils Of every man or boy who
can obtain a box of berries or a stiff. woe

TOAST THE PRESIDENT.
Colored Men Tell of the Changed
Sentiment of Their Race.

President Mcinley was eulogized by many
speakers at a banquet of colored men,
given in honor of Mr.. John P. Green at
Colored Odd Fellows Hall Saturday night.
Mr.. Green is United States stamp agent
in this city. His home is In Ohio, where
he has been prominent in political life,
having served as member of the general
assembly Of that state and held other re-
sponsible positions of trust.
The principal speech of the evening was
delivered by Mr. Green. his toast being
The President Mr.. Green emphasized
the fact that the President stood for all
the people, and he counSeled the members
of his race to constantly bear this in mind.
Mr.. Green quoted utterances by President
Mckinley against lynching; also a SEN
tence of the Presidents speech to a COL
Ored audience In Texas, in which he coun-
sells each Of them to learn to do some one
thing well, in which no one Of them will
ever be out of a job.
Continuing, Mr.. Green said: I'VE cannot
deny the fact that during one period Of the
Presidents first term there were words
full Of bitterness and hostility expressed
by many Of our people against what was
supposed to be his adverse policy; but. as
we can all testify, this feeling is today
shared by but few If any, of our people
who are intelligent and well advised" Mr..
Green then enumerated the principal
grounds of complaint: Silence in the first
presidential message regarding "outrages
which were being perpetrated on our
brethren in the southland" that he did not
commission any adequate number of col
ored men in the volunteer or regular
army; that he did not punish or prevent
lynching in the south. and that he was
waging an unjust war of determination
against the Filipinos Before the expira-
ton Of his first term Mr.. Green maintained
that the President had answered by his
statesmanlike conduct all Of the objections,
and had gained for himself the well-nigh
unanimous support of the colored voters Of
the north, and had raised himself very
materially in the esteem Of the colored
population of the south.
The arrangements were in charge OF the
executive committee, composed Of w. I.
Atwood. jr.. w. L. Board, E. NJ Gregory,
U. s. G. Bassett and w. j. Currey. Nearly
all Of the northern, eastern and western
states were represented. sixty-eight guests
being present. The object Of the meeting
was to dlsprove and resent certain state
ments recently made against the colored
race, and to put the northern colored peo-
pie in the proper light before tho public,
and to organize an association to further
their mutual interests.
