Encampment held in Cleveland, Ohio,
The talk about Jim Crowism at this
encampment was all mOOnshine. The
best proof of this is the account referred
to. It is true that colored leaders had
charge of a number of meeting and in
this instance Hon. John P. Green, the
United States Stamp Agent, was chair
man of the meeting Mr.. George A.
Myers was chairman of the committee
on "The Camp Fires Of the COlored

GETTING TOGETHER.

The American Protective League
comes in tor large share of space III
this issue of The Colored American.
1t is the truition of the great spirit and
tendency on the part of the cOlored
people to so organize themselves that
they can control the money that is
made, that is handled, and that is be-
ing spent by the cOlOred people. The
progressive stride of the Negro from
emancipation to the present day is
wonderful. He has succeeded along
all lines. and as the sensible heads of
the race have realized long ago that
some organization is needed to control
the moneys and to invest it to the
bast advantage for the middle class,
"The salt of the earth as it were" The
American Protective League is here.
1t has come 10 fill long felt want
Already its membership runs up into
the thousands and its plan OF manage

head are the kind who succeed in what

success. The plan of the League. Its

The PAST AND The PRESENT.

How strange sound the words "HOn.
William Mckinley President of the
United States is dead" And yet life
worthily and usefullY lived has come
to an untimely end in the midst of
labOrs unpeIformed. policies not yet
pushed to final issue, and questions
new in the experience of the republic
The death of the chief magistrate of a
nation by the hand of violence is al
ways an appalling calamity, and it is
especially 80 in the case of a ruler of
the extreme democratic tendencies and
practices of the late President. Mr.
Mckinley possessed a natural kindness
of heart aud affabilIty of manner that
made every one his friend who came
withia the circle of b s influence. He
was altogether responsive to the popu-
lar trend of thought In the admins
tration of the affairs of the nation. In
his public acts and utterances he re-
fected the thought and wishes of the
overwhelming majority of his fellow
citizens. They showed this by endors'
ing him again and again by enormous
msjorities at the polls. He brought his
country from the struggle of fOancial
despond, and placed it on the rock oi
unex ampled prosperity. In the civil
service of the government he sur
rounced himself with a body of men Of
as high efficiency, integrity and abili-
ty, as ever adorned the rolls of the
governments servants.
But Notwithstanding this there wa
found within the nation, one natura
citizen, 80 lost to all sentiments tina
separate man from the brute creation
that he took the life of this kindliest O
men. The nation is astOunded. yea al
most paralyzed at the dastardly act o
this anarchist, But anarchy that ha

forms of anarchy, the anarchy of

ruler-murder.
The coIored people OF the country in
common with all their fellow citizens
deplOre the death of President McKin.
ley. The race has for a generation
suffered at the hands of the same spirit
of anarchy that struck down our be
loved president. The race therefore
feels the loss as probably the rest of
their fellow citizens cannot In his
death they also recognized the loss of
friend and sympathizer. May he rest
in peace, and may his manly example
long animate the conduct of his cOun-
try.
Under the Constitution the death of
the president places the reins of the
government In the hands of Theodore
Roosevelt, Mr Roo evelt is young
man, but his entire life has been spent
IN the public service In one capacity or
another. He therefore brings TO the
discharge of his responsible DUE a
trainig, experie ce and tried capacity
that give assurance of safe, cOnserva-
tive and efficient administration. The
new president has seized the first op-
portuuity to assure the country that
he proposes to continue the policy of
his pred cessor without break or al
teration, This the country desires and
with his assurance it is satisfied.
Naturally the colored fellow citi-
zens of the new president are anxious
as to his attitude on the anarchy of
lynching and their citizenship rights in
general While nothing more than
conjecture can be given IS to these
matters, yet the record aud words of
Mr.. Roosevelt may serve to throw
some light on them. AS civil service
commissioner Mr.. Roosevelt saw that
the colored competitor for admission to
the government service was treated
with absolute fairness In the examina-
tiOu, in the certifcatiOn and In the ap
pointments. AS result more colored
men on the ground of their merits
alone, entered the service of the
government than at any time In the
history of the nation. He referred to
these matters in one of his reports with
evident pride, as we'll he might. We
shall in our next issue give the part Of
the report referring to this matter, We
express the belief that the col0red man
has in Mr.. Roosevelt a Discriminating
friend and that In so far as in him iei
he will as president see the cOlOreC
man treated with fairness. As to hi
attitude on Iawlessness, we subjOln tht
following quotation from recen
speech Of Mr.. ROOsevelts;

archy is simply the hand-maiden and forerunne

Hebrew New Year, 5G62 Occurs Snturtia.
September li:h-Fenturcs of the
CUlebratio

The Hebrew name for New Year is
"Rosh Hashonnh," which means head
of the year. With the Hebrews tho
day falls on the first Of the month
Lishri, occurring this year September
ID.
Like all Jewish holidays, this is OBJ
served from sunset to sunset. There
fore their places Of business will be
C osed from this eve ling until next
Monday morning.
The day is not u holiday say the
Rabbi, so much ~ it is holy day. 1t
is a time Of solemn and earnest prayer
Of introspectlon and sclf-rcview. 1t is
called variously Uhe Day of Memorial,
the Day Of Judgment, and the Day OF
the Blowing of the Trumpet. 1t has
received this last title on account OF
this peculiar service, the blowing OF
the ShOfar, or rams horn.
The day is observed in 1901 with the
same ldcalism which characterized it
in the most ancient days. The advance
of civilization and the onward progress
of the world has changed only some OF
the outward forms, but its spiritual
Significance is unchanged.
AS the merchant at the beginning OF
the secular year casts up his ledger and
sets down his debts and credits, Sc
does tic Hebrew observer of the New
Year day balance his lifo accounts, re,
pent sincerely Of his faults and follies,
and start out with fresh strivings for
higher and purer living. The old ycal
of sin is buried in the cemetery Of the
past and the New Year, a child OF hope,
turns Its face toward the future. Eight
days after "Rosh Hashonah" comes
Hom kippur, or the Day Of Atonement

snIR. SCUERER TO LEAVE.
Resolutions by lila Congregation Exprcas-
log Their Sinc"ro and Heartthlt Appru-
ciatiou OF ills Work White Here.

On last Sunday morning Rev. Nj
C. G. Schcrcr placed before his con
grcgation letter stating the reasons
why he thought it his duty to leave
the Newbcrry congregation aud accept
the call ~ the theological seminary
Mr.. Schcipr stated cmpha, iuully thai
he would not have left this conercga
tion TO 20 to any other Individual con
gregaiion in the United Synod, but h,
felt that it was his duty to the church
~ large to go to the seminary.
Mr.. ID. B Wheeler acted Us chair.
! man and DR.. J. Nj Kiblcr, the s"cr"
| tary, read the pastors letter. Th,
| resignation WAS then accepted by
the congregation and McsSrs. Q
l.. Schumpcrt, w. +. llcusual and
DR.. j. NJ. kiblcr were appointed
committee to draw up rcsolu
tiOns expressing the sentiment Of the
congregation, and to give rs the reason
for accepting the resignation that the
congregation, like Mr.. Schcrcr,
thought it was his duty to the whole
church to go TO the seminary.
The resolutions are us follows:
Resolved, That it is with saddencd
hearts we have received the proposed
resignation of our beloved pastor, Rev.
M G. G.. Schcrcr, and that our sorrow
is, if possible, intensified because we
are SO strongly importuncd to accept
his resignation.
That to sever the sacred ties that for
SO long have bound US together rs pas
tor and pcOplc--tics which in all sea-
sons and under every circumstance
have been most pleasant and cordial
seems almost like scvcring the earthly
dearest to our hearts.
That we are profoundly impressed,
however, with the high call that has
come to our pastor, as also with the
personal sacrifice that he will make IN
accepting it. We feel, therefore, that
proper sense of duty demands Of MS
that We should sustain Kim in his dc.
cision, and this comprls MS on our part
10 make the sacrifice we ar" called on
to perform.
From these considerations alone we
are most reluctantly induced to accept
the resign .ti0n.
Resolved, further, That this rcsolu-
ton he entered on the records of our
church and that Il copy be sent to the
Rev. NJ. G. G.. Schcrcr.
Mr.. Scherer will preach his farewell
+ermon on next Sunday.

TROUBLE IN THE POSTOFFICE.
POSTMASTER FAIR Is TEMPORARILY
REMOVED.
The once Turned Over to tho Bondsmon n
and MIR. Bynum Placed In Charge.
statements from Postmnster
Fair and MIR. Mower.

On last Tuesday afternoon it became
known that Postmaster VIM. Y. Fair
had been removed from tho New
berry postotlice and that MIR. f..
l.. Bynum was acting postmaster.
Nothing concerning the cause Of this
removal could be learned. MIR }. J.
Smyth, postolllcc Inspector, arrived in
the city Monday morning and went i'm.
mcdiately to- the postollce. it is sup
posed that he reported some irrcgu-
larities in the Office, which caused the
removal
The office was turned over to tho
hondsmcr, Hon. Geo. ). Mower aud Mr..
Jen Lane, Tuesday afternoon, and
pending investigations they placed Mir.
+. l. Bynum in charge.
Mr.. Fair, when called upon by rep
rescntativc of The Herald and News,
indignantly dcnied the charges against
him and said that his accounts were
straight, and that he did not owe the
government anything.
Our representative also called on
Mr.. Mower, one OF the surctics on the
postmaster's bond, who said he was
satisfied that Mr. Fair is not liable
for cent on account Of his udlninis-
tration of the affairs of the postolicc,
though there may have been some
technical Irregularities.
From the above statements Of Mr..
Fair and Mr.. Mower it will be seen
that Postmaster Fair is not short in
his accounts and his removal was
caused by Il technical rregularity some
where in the Office.
All of Mr.. Fairs assistants and clerks
are still in the Office.
The removal of Mr.. Fair created Il
good deal OF speculation on the part
of our people, and further duvc)op-
ments will be awaited interest.
