on foot as proof of dissatisfaction
with the government; fires for per-
sonal revenge; and fires to promote
! revolution are of startling frequency
This is sometimes thought to be due
to the character of the race. Far from
it. The common people of Hayti are
peaceful enough. They have no taste
for revolution. The fault is not with
the ignorant many, but with the edu-
Gated and ambitious few"
= The history of Hayti is decidedly not
a subject for light summer reading.
1t is a very dismal recital; yet the
lost and so pervaded are the best por-
tion of the inh abitants with the love
of country when the aggressive ten
denotes of another country make the
freedom of any portion of their soil
seem in the slightest degree to hang
in the balance, that it is extremely
doubtful if the nation could be sub
dued by the strongest military power
on earth. At the time when France
set $4,000 of her best troops ashore in
Hayti to overcome the inha bit nts, the
few soldiers who returned from the
hills were glad to make their way as
best they could from the horrors of
the conflicts in which they had partici-
pated.
The original inhabitants of the is
land of Hayti were set upon by the
Spanish settlers who followed Column
bus, and in 60 years the race had been
practically exterminated. Wanting
then, for slaves, traffic was started
between the island and the African
coast, and continued uninterrupted
for number of years. In the mean
time French buccaneers had sue
ceeded in wrestling from the de-
generate Spaniards the two pro-
montories that form the en-
trance to the bay at the western
extremity of the island as we'll as the
territory at the mouth of the Artibo-
mite. When the matter came to the

They break forth without warning and
without excuse. The town may stand
at sunset and vanish in the morning.
Splendid ruins, once the homes of the
rich, meet us on every street. Great
warehouses, once the property of sue
cessful merchants, confront us with
their marred and shattered walls in
different parts of the city. When we

and why are they not rebuilt 2 we are
answered by one word-It is sRevolu-

ears of the French government, the
latter set up its claim to the territory
in such a convincing manner Ga habit
common with them) that the Spanish
government finally acknowledged the
French claim to one-third of the is
land. From this time forth the race of
colonization was decidedly "to the
stronghold is, to France. Her set
tiers were more industrious, ener-
getic and determined than the easy
going Spaniards and what progress
was made in the development of the
country was due to French labors.
The cruelty of French masters to-
wards their slaves was the first cause
of revolution. French crime had pro-
duced mulatto race which proved the
undoing of those Empower. nsolent,
shiftless and lazy, this race began to
snap its fingers at French authority
andat the same time to despise the real
blacks. They would neither stoop to
toll nor would they be ruled; and ulti-
mately there came period of concert
ed revolt, during which the white in
habitants were practically extermi-
mated.
The mulattos and the real blacks
were left. The natural antipathy ex-
listing between them became chasm
of hatred. The former looked upon
the latter as interiors. Moreover the
former proved 20 be the malcontents,
the latter the only ones inclined to in
dustry. Neither knew aught of gov
eminent, but the former knew best
how to ape the manners of their one
time masters. The scramble for posi-
tions of authority resulted in the worst
chaos; and finally in civil war. The
mulattos came to occupy the southern,
and the blacks the northern half of
the island. Their interests were com
mon only as against an outside power.
| Civil wars and internal strife between
| factions became the order. At one
| moment the chief executive was presi-
dent; at another moment king. Now
the awakened blacks ruled, by the
sword, and now the mulatto descend
ants of the whites.

BE KIND YOURSELF.

Would you have the world be kind?
Then be kind yourself!
Hide not gifts of heart or mind
On the futures shelf
Give what you can spare, and more,
From to-day's most precious store.
Would you meet with truth? Then truth
You must proffer first.
Life hath need of grace and ruth,
But, through best and worst,
Truths gold passes, clear and straight
And is always worth its weight!
Would you honor gain? Be swift
To give honor due;
The deserving to uplift,
Crown the crowned anew
With laurels they have won
In whatever work, well done.
Would you be beloved? Then love!
And be sure of this
Whatso'er LIES gifts may prove.

A Well Satisfied Girl.

At an old-fashioned revival meeting
the minister approached Minnie, who
was only ten years old. and urged her
to 60 forward to the "mourners'
bench" for prayers, as many of her
young friends had done.
"No, thank you," said Minnie, hold
ing back.
But, why ?" questioned the minister
Don't you want to be born again."
"No," replied Minnie; I'm afraid 1
might be born a boy next time!"-

E n E Revolution" Nothing but
turmoil, apparently, comes
from that quarter; and the particular
incidents connected with the latest
disorders including the bombardment
of Cape Hatien for the cause of one
of the aspiring nominees for president
of the republic, have not enough espe-
cial interest, outside of their >sensa-
tional aspect, to merit more than cas-
ual notice. The present revolution is
not more significant than 100 others
that have occurred; yet the chronic
inclination towards revolution in
Hayti, the causes of it, and the effect
it has produced and is producing upon
the growth of the republic form sub
ject for interesting study.
Frederick Douglass, the famous
negro orator (who served as minister
to Hayti under President Harrison ,
in lecture on ''Hayti, the Only Self
Made Black Republic in the World, -
declared: ''Her grand old tropical for
ests, fields and mountains, were among
the first of the new world to have their
silence broken by transatlantic song
and speech. She was first to be in
yaded by the Christian religion and to
witness its forms and ordinances. She
was the first to see Christian church
and behold the Cross of Christ" And
he adds that she was the first country
of the new world in which Africans
were held as slaves and the first in
which the black man fought for his
freedom and gained it.
The Haytien has been fighting ever
since. No description of the condition
of affairs in Hayti more concise and
telling than that coming from Mr..
Douglass could be given and there
core pithy. excerpt is here quoted:

SINGS THE SAME OLD SONG
Rock Island Mosquito Has Not Lost II,

Rock Island Mosquito Has Not Lost Its
Voice.
The statement is made that the
mosquito of 1902 differs from the
mosquito of other seasons in that il
has lost its voice. From the Jersey
coast and also from the mosquito
infested swamps of st. Louis comes
the news that although the mosquito
is as busy with his bill as usual its
song is hushed and an incXplicable
silence pcrvades the summer nights
hitherto made vocal with the often
reiterated protestations of undying
affection by cousin mosquito. If
this news be true, and il comes well
authenticated, then the Rock Island
mosquito is back number, for il is
as noisy as ever and the viruIence of
its sting is in no wise abated. 1t
may be that the kerosene campaign
that is being conducted against the
mosquito has driven them to adopt
still hunt tactics in those commune
ties where the man with the can and
the squirtgun most aboundS. but
here in Rock Island he sings his mer-
nv song as of yore ana accompanies
his attack upon his victim with
about as much scenery as is prac-
ticcd by the comic opera chorus
which prosecutes its search for the
fleeing villain amid vociferous APP
peals of Hush. hush, be quiet as a
mouse. He fingers near" or words
to that effect. SO far as can be
judged from results Rock Island has
nothing this year but the old fash
toned rain barrel mosquito and
plenty of him.
Since the recent rains the mosquito
with his song and his bill has been
very much in evidence and all he
sings is: My cousin, my cousin, l
love you

badges, banners, swords, sword belts,

and the labor organizations will
make no mistake in giving this de-

support and cooperation. This COM
pany has maintained a most favor
able attitude toward labor and the
union forces are never slow in rec
ognizing their friends and will aid
in every way possible to make this
company still greater success.
Their product is certainly one de
serving of most liberal patronage by
the unions and citizens of our cities
and the entire country. At this par
ticular time when we have opportun-

vantage of the opportunity to place
the name of the Rock Island Regalia
company where it well deserves to
be placed-foremost among our lead
ing concerns who are always to be
counted upon as friends of conserva-
