Bowdoin Orient: 1t is with great
grief we learn from waterville paper
that the Kennebec Journal has made
fiattering reference to Bowdoin col

that it has been the habit of several
other papers to make flattering refer
ences to Bowdoin. 1t is too much to
expect us to explain why this is so.
1t is enough to realize that it is la
inevitable fact and to leave it to our
Waterville criticiser to find the rea-
son for it.

give them sound advice and direct
them in the right way In this cam
paign it is the duty Of every Afro
American preacher who has the true
interest of the race at heart to explain
to his people the issues as they affect
the Afro-American He should show
what the Democratic party has done
in the line of depriving the Afro-Amer-
lean people of their civil and political
rights and appeal to them to continue
to support, with all their strength, the
party which gave freedom to the slaves

1t will not do for, the Republicans to
rely too much upon the business of
their cause and the benefcence of the
principles of the party and felicitate
themselves with the idea that the peo-
pie are with them and the ticket will
surely be elected. y, ErN@&
Not every man in this blessed coun-
try of ours is competent to think and
judge as to what is his own best in
terest; thousands can be and are mis-
led by the sophistry of plausible speak

not realize that they have been made
dupes until it is too late to repair the
damage. .- 4:

confidence in ourselves or by under

At the conference of the M. b..
church held at Washington last week
a paper was read by Rev. Scott Wood
OF LaWrenceville, Va, urging the ap-
pointment of two Afro-American bish-
ops to have direct jurisdiction of
church members of the race. This is
wrong. The Afro-American. brethren
should not draw the color line. It
would be all right to have an Afro
American bishop but he. should have
jurisdiction over all churches of do
cese, without regard to the color of

NEGROES SPEAK ! tRISH,

8 The Negro population of the island
of Monterrat in the West Indies which
numbers about 10000, to less: than 100
whites, speaks Irish in its purity, Z
with as round and rich brogue as
ever came out of Dublin. The story
is that many years ago a British cruis-
er captured an African slave ship in
the Spanishom and the slaves were
landed on this island in charge Of the
master-at-arms, who happened to be
an Irishman. He taught the blacks
his native tongue SO thoroughly that
to this day their descendants resist
with stubborn pertinacity any English
1ingual invasion. ssss 1.S r.
