Do We Need a New Leader?

From the chicago Conservator.
After Contending that Booker T.
Washington has'ntthe proper qualities
to enable him to be "a race leader" the
Washington, ID. c. Bee says:
The question now is do we need a
new leader? If we do what shall that
leadership be? What kind of a leader
ship shall it be? Shall il be an office
holder or a man not erCumbered with
an office? Shall be be called by the
people or shall he be self mad These
are the questions that should be con-
sidered. The negro is in such a COndi-
ton that he cannot trust himself.
The idea that the American Negro
needs a national leader in a sense in
which other people ofthis nation dOnOt
need one is absurd ana a reflection on
the race; and the assertion that he can
not trust himself is unworthy Of a great
paper like the Bee and does great in
justice TO the evident push and thrift
of the Afro Americans.

must admit that the negro leader

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
A Just Rebuke.

The President has justly rebuked
the lily white republican party that
attempted tn discriminate against
republicans in the Sou b. OF course
an attempt was made by some one
to ignore the negro South, and the
negro republicans North intended
to teaeh the republican party les

Administration was a party to It..
The negro republican must accept
what Postmaster General Payne has
said, until Senator Pritchard has
been taken to IN hand by the Pres

are visiting to see what disposition
the President intends to make Of
the Senator from North Carolina
who was the head and front Of the
lily white movement South. Sena-
tor Pritchard might as we'll retire to
the shad,s of darkness because the
negroes of this country will not toll
crate him or any man who attempts
to elevate him in the republican
party. He would have done better
had he made a fight with the
negroes and such white republicans,
who desired to join the republican
party. The republican party must
repudiate PriLchard and all Others
like him. President Roosevelt has

Europeans. Great Britain, with the
Boer war on its hands, was unable to
furnish sufficient protection to the
friendly or neutral natives, with the
result that thousands of them joined
the mad mullah, being given the choice
of doing so or being raided. In March,
1900, he attacked an Abyssinian ex-
pedition of !, 500 men sent against him,
and although he lost $500 men and re-
treated, the ferocity of his attack in
spired Menelek's troops with such a
dread of him that no attempt was
made to pursue him. Three years ago
he had 5000 followers, with only 90
rifles; now he has 10000 men, a good
percentage of them armed with rifles
secured in raids on caravans.
The mad mullah is so deeply re-
hgious that half the soldiers in his
camp are engaged in prayer when they
are not drilling or attending to their
camp duties. The natives are abso-
lutely fearless of death and believe
that defat under the mad mullah is i'm
possible and hold to the view that
heaven is the reward of all those who
die by the bullets of the hated foe.

other war. The boer campaign cost

men, but to send them away would be
to invite another uprising and the old
mutiny is not forgotten.
Enough English blood has been
spilled already. the English think, but
the mad mullah mutters and Great
Britain shudders.
Personally the mad mullah is an sx-
traordinary MAJ. He. while despis.
ing the civilization Of the effete west
has secretly made a study of every
invention the news of which came to
his own city. 1t is rumored that among
the prisoners taken years ago by this
queer chieftain is an English officer
who was, as most English officers are
a graduate of Sandhurst, which cor

but has shown him the mysteries of
telegraphy. the telephone and other
things, including the science of mill
tary strategy and that of arms in gen
eral.
The mullah is personally so strong
that he is said TO be able to break an
iron bar in two as easily as the average
man snaps walking stick. He has

aD MULLAH AT WAR
tOld-Time Adversary Again Menaces
Great Britain.
RuIer of SomaIIIand In Field with
10000 Men-His Followers Are
Splendid Fighters and Ex-
tFemeIy PiOuB.

Great Britain is again in trouble.
This time it is the mad mullah of So
maitland, who is disputing the right
of the English to govern himself and
his people, and at the head of con-
siderable force of fanatical followers
has declared war against King Ed
ward and all his minions. Several
years ago he was found TO be tough
customer TO deal with, having been one
of the chief obstacles to an early set
tlement of the war in the Soudan. lie
was finally overcome, however, and IL
was hoped that his rebelliOus spirit
was effectually broken. Such does not
seem to have been the case, however,
for he is now said TO be as full of fight
as ever, and well equipped for carry
ing on a protracted resistance to the
British authority.
Somaliland is but a small country
situated some 10 degrees south OF the
equator-near the northwest coast OF
Africa. 1t is for the most part des-
ert, and the people subsist by trade
with the surrounding tribes. They are
nOmadic, like most desert dwellerE,
and all attempts to eiyiIize them have
proved futile Their religion is Mo-
hammedan, and like all followers Of
the prophet they fight with despera-
tion, deeming il a sure passport to
heaven to fall in battle.
The operations of the mad mullah,
Hail Muhammed Abdullah, says the
Chicago Chronicle, began early in 1899,
when he led a raid against a neighbor-
ing tribe on the preteXt that its mem
bers had stolen camels from his peo-
pie. He was then an ordinary mullah,
or priest, but after number of sue
cessful raids he proclaimed himself
the successor of the mahdi, assuming
an antagOnistic attitude toward the
British prOtectorate government, and
announced that he intended to rule
the interior, leaving the coast to the

north of Burgin. KY, while cleaning
away some brush lost his fine gold
watch, which was jerked from his

London. In fact, despite the adage
that there is always a man ready to
fill any place that is vacated, there
is a tradition in London that the
American embassy could not exist
without its efficient secretary, Henry
White.
To his friends he is familiarly
known as Harry" White. He is a
recognized authority in Europe upon
all matters diplomatic and American.
1t is said that he knows personally
a greater number of Americans than
any other man in the diplomatic serv-
ice. Tens of thousands of transat-
lantic travellers have ayailed them
selves of the courtesies of 1.-The -af-
fable secretary of the American en-
bassy at London"
Mr.. White has frequently been left
in absolute control of the embassy
as charge d'affaires. He is about AZ
years old. His diplomatic service has
been extensive. He was secretary
of legation at Vienna for a short
time in 1888, and was then trans
ferred to London as second secre-
tary. He was promoted to first sec
retary of the embassy in 1886. He
has held that position ever since, ex-
cepting during the Cleveland admin
istration-1s93 to 1897.
Mr.. White is wealthy. He has a
charming wife, and lives in London
at an expense double the amount of
the salary the United States pays
him as secretary of the legation.
