srrAxrNa RIGHT OUT.

A new religious sect has recently sprung up among the negroes of Boston which is said to be making proselytes right along. With it's beliefs and tenets we have nothing to do, for coiored peo- pie in all parts of the world are noted for the peculiarfties. as well as the fer vency of their religious beliefs, but the preacher who Is propagating the new faith is evidently in deadly earnest. One of his announcements is. T cali all men liars who do not believe as we do.''
 We do not know whether this minister expects all his proselytes to follow his example in spe lking of their religion. but if they do we may reasonably expect some warm performances. even in the frigid city of Boston. Negroes, above all people on earth. perhaps. are earnest fin their religious beliefs and observances. Pope's line,
 For modes of faith let graeciess zealots fight. fits the colored believer exactly. and they will fight over methods of baptism. or any other tenet of their Church. as read fly as they will over any personal insult or injury. If those who embrace this rev props inda undertake to express themselves as boldly and unequivocally as their preacher does that Church is likely to be a warm member of Boston s religious population. Perhaps, after sll. this colored brother only expresses in plain English what many other minis ters believe but are too pclittc to say.

plain words, it is a demand on the part of man who prcfesrcs 10 speak for pnion abcr. that monied men shall in- vest their capital in manufacturing en- terprises but shall have no profit from such investment. The result of such a demand. If successfully enforced, would diner but little from robbery, if, indeed. 1t isn't worse.
 something was said in these columns some days ago relative to the feeling ex- hihited by union leaders towards the mill itary and 1t is not out of place to of- Ter other evidence of that feeling. Not long since the Amaieamated Sheet Metal Workcrs Ass5slAtioi adopted this rec ton as part of it's Constitution:
 Any person member of the regular army or navy. or of the State militia or naval re- serves shall not be eligible to men1borship fl, this association. Any member of this associa- ton who shall become member of either one of the above-named bodies must tender his resignation of membership to the association P: once
 This is plain enough. and to show how 1t is approved we copy one extract from a communication which recently appear- ed in Tee Lynn (Mass) Ne%s:
 Another feature which proves that the work ing classes are waking up to their class inter ests is the fact that they are drawing out of the State militia, While to the minimizing i, may seem unpatriotic for American citizens not to be willing to prove their Amerioanism by serving in the army Of the State and na- tion. to one who has studied the question thoroughly it is more to their credit as wo X. ingmen to be on the outside than membcg of that branch of service. The militia is but one of the tools which used by the capl- talist class to hold their industrial slaves in sGbjection, and when this is considered in the right light it Is fitting that the thinking work. ingman should hold himself aloof from 1t.
 As The Advertiser has heretofore ex- plained. one of the principal reasons for keeping up an organized body of State troops is for preservation of order, the enforcement of the laws ard the prctec- ton of life and property. but the boast of this writer in The News, and that amendment to the Constitution of one of the strongest labor organizations in the Union. proves that those who control and direct some of these unions are trying to teach their men that they are not amenable to civil or military authority, and that enforcement of the laws and pres ervation of order are inimical to labor and laboring men. We cannot believe that the masses of working men in the United States are aware of the tendency towards anarchy of the teachings of at at least a portion of their leaders, but 1t Is time that the workers of this country should begin to think for themselves and to ask themselves whether they will line up for law and honesty or whether they will suffer themselves arrayed on the side of anarchy and lawlessness. They evidently fail to see where the advice Of some of their leaders would take them

Good Advice.

Huntsville Democrat
 If the Alabama negroes desire to emi- grate to more favorable climes, they have the right of every American citizen ed people be lured away from this State by deceptive promises? We think not. Would it not be better to follow the ad- vice of Prof. Wm. Fl. Council, stay at home. cultivate and foster the old time relations with the white people, make friends. instead of enemies of them, en' courage industry. frown down vagrancy, make themselves good citizens. worthy of political rights? In that way. and ir that way only, can the prosperity of the negro be assured in land and among the people. who brought them from bar barism to civilization from darkness to light We have questioned a number oi ptominr.t nercoes of this section. and they agree with Prof Council in this sage advice

A Reflection on Them.

Ashland Standard:
 It is a reflection on any young man to grow up to manhood In this day of schools and enlightened civilization, with out being able to read and write. Every body can at least learn this much at home by pine knot fire. The test Of citizenship in all the States is fast drift ing toward an education qualification, and the time is coming and is not very will be taken from all those. in every State in the Union, who have not an un. derstanding of the common branches of English education. Do not fail to edu- cate your children while opportunities are at hand. and prepare them for intelligent and useful citizenship.

If our erudite State Su- pefintendent will expend the thought up- or rerfectlng the presept system and bringing 1t up to its proper standard of usefulness, that it will require to con vince the taxpayers that they should maintain the schools six months, we guarantee that he will meet the demands of public sentiment on this subject. and at the same time accomplish the same purposes indirectly"

''In those States where Republican Conventions have been held this year, the platforms which have been adopted have not followed the lines laid down in advance by Senator Hanna and some other prominent Republicans" The Bos- ton Advertiser (Rep) observes. Hanna announces that in no case will Congress discuss any taritf questions. The plat forms call for an extension of the reel procity policy. Hanna says the trusts are to be let alone. The platforms say the opposite. Possibly Hanna may have the power to check legislation at Wash lngton, for time, but he cannot defeat the public sentiment which demands such legislation from either the Republi- can or the Democratic party"

ably more than s1,O00,O0O year." says
MIR. Burkett, ito make the discrinlina-
ton between the various degrees of dis
ability. This comes by the work of the
medical examinations, extra force, sta
tionery, postage, etc
Mr.. Burkett has made some computa-
lions from the report of the pension
commissioner for the last fiscal year and
finds that as the rule of the department
now stands it would require S1.251.0SO to
raise all the soldiers who now draw PEN
sions under the new law to s12.
When the trouble and the expense,
both to the government ard to the SOL
der, in connection with applications for
increase under the new law are taken
into consideration Mr.. Burkett believes
that it would save wear and tear to all
persons concerned and be cheaper to the
government in the long run to give g flat
rating of sl2 a month, the maximum, to
all than to attempt to discriminate ac-
cording to the degrees of disability.
Congressman Burkett's bill will GER

tied to all the benefit change in meth

SIMPLY DRIFTING ABOUT.

The Independent democratic papers
of Iowa will. have none OF Phillips. They
are close observers Of his movements
and the severest Of critics, as the follow
ing from the Davenport Democrat will
show:
Thomas J.. Phillips, one Of the NOM
inees for governor Of Iowa, is travel
ing about the state rather freely. AT
Marshalltown the other day he told an
interviewer that while he found the peo-
pie are interested in politics and are
keeping posted on the issues OF the cam
paign, he can discover very little In
ciination to make much noise or to be-
come enthusiastically demonstratiye.
Mr. PHILIPPE has evidently described
things about as he sees them. On his
approach to town he Is not met six
miles or moro out by the reception
committee and brass band. The halls
in which he speaks are not crowded to
suffocation; and the reporters do not
come from the large cities to report his
matchmaking speeches. In fact Mr.. Phil
lips realizes that he has not yet started
IL stampede in favor of the reaffirmed
and Siamesed Chicago and st. Louis
platforms, and he is not telling any
body for publication that he hopes to
do SO.
The candidate OF the twice-defeated
is simply going about the state in as
quiet a matter as possible. On the
whole this shows discretion and cor
rect idea of the situation. The les:
money he pays out the more he will
have. The more he neglects his bust
mess the more his personal interests
viii suffer. No man who stands for
Organism can hope for much from the
Intelligent and prosperous people OF
lows. This speaks volumes for their
discrimination

icording to the above estimate for the
United States, the present crop would
be equal to two-thirds of last years,
when the ruling retail price in central
Iowa at the delivery season was % cents.
Add enough to price to make up the
shrinkage in quantity and the figures
would be a little less than 40 cents. Dis
tribution is another factor that must
be reckoned with, as 1T is necessary to
transport large quantities by rail TO
reach consumers. and growers are sup
posed to take advantage of this, for the
ruling price at one point is likely to
govern that at another. Add one-half
to the price for freight at long dis
tances, with drayage, middle-men's pro-
fit and shrinkage. and the figures would
reach 60 cents. 1t would seem that 10
cents would be a fair price. tho many
are expecting that 1t will go lower. AT
many points in Iowa the quotations are
very much lower. the yield being greatly
i'll excess of local demands.
