Fish and Other Creatures Lend
Variety to Outdoor Life in
PennsyIVaniA.

Jesse Travis, of Starrucea, Wayne
county, Pa, was chOpping in the
woods on his farm few days ago.
The barking OF little dogthat accom-
panied him by and by attracted his at
tentiOn.
He went 10 the spot where the dog
was, writes a New York Sun cOrre-
spondent, and discovered a silver gray
fox. which, in running past a shag-
bark hickory tree had been caught by
its bushy tail in the rough, strong,
bristling bark of the tree. Effort TO
extricate itself had only drawn the
tail tighter in the bold of the bark.
The dog had been afraid TO tackle the
fox, and stood al a safe distance, bark
ing Travis knocked the fox on the head
with his ak and had pelt the like Of

Virgil McCarty was scouting about
the marshes al the headwaters Of the
Lackawanna the other day on the look
out for a possible shot al a jacksniPe,
when d muskrat slipped into the water
Just ahead Of him. 4 second later a
large trout leaped foot or more
above the surface Of the water and the
back Of the muskrat came in sight.
The trail fell back into the stream. IN
stantly there were signs Of struggle
in the water. The back Of the muskrat
came in sight again and McCarty fired
at il. The muskrat turned over, dead.
McCarty pulled it ashore. The trout
was in its mouth. 1t was still
alive. McCarty removed it care
fully from the muskrat's mouth and
placed it in the water. While he was
watching it feebly swimming about on
the surface it suddenly went down
with a sharp jerk. \ watersnake had

The Eliminator.

There is one peculiar feature IN
the present Congressional Cam
paign. Not since the organization
of the republican Congressional
committee has the cOlorcd politician
played such an inferior part as he
is playing now, as stump orator, In
tue several states. The big eOlored
politician has been eliminated. He
is not Seen upon the stump telling
his brethren what TO do and what
not to do in the present campaign.
Just whyhis services are not need
ed. THE BEEis is unable to state.
OF course the cOlored vote north is
is an absolute necessity. He Is
looked for and is expected to vote
the republican ticket. The conclu
sion which the Committee has
reached, no doubt, is that the col
red vote needs no persuasion. He
will vote the republican ticket any
way. He belongs to the republican
and be cannot go any where else.
The democraticpa party has got sense
enough to persuade the negro. That
party would like the negro to vote
it's ticket, but it doesnot think it is
necessary to ask him or to throw
out any inducements. There is an
Elimination of the negro, pure and
simple.

up with the trout in its mouth on the
opposite side Of the creek. McCarty
shot il as il was crawling out on the
bank. The trout dropped back into the
water still alive. II wiggled about on
the surface again, gradually gaining
strength. although the mUskrat's teeth
had made deep wound in its belly, and
at last swan away up the creek and
disappeared.
4 fisherman CD Lake Ariel, near
Scranton. one day last week. saw big
fish laundering around on the surface
Of the water near the shore. He rowed
over to the spot.
The tiounGering fish was a pickerel.
The fisherman knocked il in the head
with an oar. Then he found that the
picEerel had tried 10 swallow a good
sized catfish, which had set its spines
10 prevent its swallowing. The result
was that the pickereI could neither get
the catfish up nor down, and fell vic
tim TO its greed.

himself an enthusiastic home ruler,
and being an Irishman, having extern
siye business relations with the late
Joseph Biggar, declared revolution
ist. Upton was considered good enough
to be offered a seat in parliament in the
nationalist interest. His generous
purse would have been welcomed. he
declined the invitation on the ground
that while he believed in home rule
within certain limitations he could not
subscribe TO the zeparatist policy.
Since the death Of Mr.. Gladstone, Sir
Thomas political views have changed,

Rosebery. it is more than likely he Will
enter parliament under the banner Of
that statesman who has nearly all the
aristOcratic lady politicians-with
whom Sir Thomas is so pOpular-On his
side
The constituency in which Sir Thom-
as lives has invited him to contest the
seat in the liberal interest. but there Is
a conservative majority there which it
would be almost impossible to upset.
If Sir Thomas could have the choice he
would prefer a Scotch seat, and Glas-
gov. where he laid the foundation Of
his huge business. would welcome him
as a representative. tits certain that
he viii be soon in the house of COM

guide. philosopher and friend. his
progress in reaching the upper house

The Coal Strike.

The go-ealled coal strike has GER
tainly created great deal of po-
litical "bunkcom. In no other
country but America would such
proceedings be permitted. The idea
of the entire American population
being compelled to submit to a
foreign class of labOrers who have
no standing in their own country,
but are able to compel the Chief
Magistrate of a great country like
America, to bow to them and beg
them to permit others to gOto work
or go to work themselves to relieve
the people and to enable the Gov
ernment to resume work. 1t is a
shame aud a disgrace. 1t demon
enstrates how defective our laws are
and what part politics plays IN
business enterprises. 1t is hoped
that the day will soon come when
the American people will be able
to have a Government that foreign
labor will respect.

Our Night Schools.

There doesn't seem to be a very
large attendance at the night
schools for some reason not ex-
plainable. Whether it is the, new
rules that have been adopted to the
effect that old persons are not ad-
mitted and not a sufficient number
of the young ones that take enough
interest in the schools to attend
are questions of cOnjeetures. The
BER is of the opinion that the
authorities, unintentionally made
the mistake in prescribing the old
er people in the colored schools.
There are not enough young ones
who will take sufficient interest in
their own schools to attend. The
principal of the colOred night
schools as well as his teachers will
no doubt fall short this year be-
cause of the restricted rules adopt

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
Our leadership

OuE LCa0CA SAAiP'
There has been a great deal said
about the Acknowledgement Of the
negro and the part the so called
negro leaders of the race will play
in the presidential election by vir-
tue of such disfranchisemeHt, In
the first place the quasi negro lead
ers is an Office holder and he will
do nothing. He imagines he Is a
leader because he holdsan Office un-
der the Administration. The real
leader is the man who is not con-
trolled by the Establishments of Of
fetal power and will point ont
wrongs committed upon the race.
1t is amusing to see these so-called
leaders parading themselves in
public and being introduced by
superficial titles, such titles that
don't exist but are conceived in tbs
deceptive brain of the tOady and
trimmer who wants TO be looked
upon with favor by the quasi leaders
or so-called representatives OF the
race. The leadership Of today is
not only eowardly but sycophantic
and humiliating. The leadership
will permit the very state IN Ehlch
it exists to be taken away without
a protest. The sooner the masses
of the negro repudiate such a
leadership the better it will be for
them. If you have ever seen a
"Jack ASS" upon dress parade,
you can imagine then what this So
called negro leadership is. There
is a bird fancier not far from THE
BEE Office, he has Mexican parrot.
1t is claimed thatit is the best talk
ing parrot in the United States. 1t
was the property of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley. If you want to see
good imitator of the negro lead =
ership of today talk to that parrot
because he will repeat anything you
tell him. So it is with this quasi
leadership. What ever these ne
groes are told to do they stand will
ing and ready to do it and say any
thing you tell them to say. Talk
ing about influence, not one has
enough to put common chimney
sweeper to work. The President does
not seek their advice because he
know they don't amount to anything
and if he said the moon was green
they would say: "yes your Excel
lency, l believe the neon is green, ]"
and at that moment the moon may
be blood red. There are ssme Of these
negroes editing papers and not to the
surprise of The BEE, they a few
months ago called the President a
living God. Today these same ed
itors are calling him a living devil
They failed to get a job. See? This
negro leadership should continue
to hold its jobs and allow honest
men to lead.

Upton IN POLITICS.
Peerage He VIII Seek seat
in Parliament.

Sir Thomas Lipton's big gifts TO all
sorts of philanthropies having failed
TO convince Lord Salisbury of the pro-
priety of giving him a seatin the house
of lords, even at the Kings request, the
doughty baronet has decided 10 work
his way up to the peerage through
politics.
For years Upton was a much sought
after candidate for parliamentary con-
stituencies, and especially since he be-
came a knight has he had offers of safe
seats in all parts Of the country. He
has now decided TO take the next
chance that presents itself.
His present political views are doubt
