7. De VIII TALMA6E,

T. De Witt Ta'mage was a great
preacher. His power rested not SO
much in profound hcholarship-though
of fine intellectual parts-as in his fine
perception of human emotions and
knowledge of the "Jne touch of nature
that makes the whole world kin" He
talked to the masses and the classes
alike, and casting creeds to the winds
as creeds, expOunded Christianity as
the rock upon which mutual sympathy
and mutual helpfulness must be built.
If he had strong peculiarities he had
equally strong abilities, the cOmbina-
ton gave him personality distinctand
apart from all who had gone be fore,
and his successor has yet to be born.
We share in the universal regret that
DR.. Talmage's demise has occasioned,
and supplement our sense of loss with
another regret that, while speaking
generically for all that labored and
were heavy laden, he could not see his
way to speak of the Negroes wrongs
specifically, and to throw the great
weight of his peerless energies and in
fuence against the race pref judice and
lawlessness that put to shame the prin-
ciples of equality upon which our gov
ernment is supposed to be founded.
Great as he was, DR.. Talmage could
have been greater in the Negroes eyes,
had he lifted up his voice and spoke
in the fullness of his heart, for the
of God and the brotherhood
Of man, black and white.

LouI slANIANS GETTING TOGETHER.

We think the Louisiana republicans

Ihey should make it easy for him to
MAKE the satisfactory appointment most
by settling upon the one man who has
the best qualifications a"d is most
available, backing him up with their
recommendation To this end the Louis.
inians have formed a committee of
eleven, chosen by body OF representa-
tive colored republicans, to whom will
be delegated the duty of weighing the
claims of all aspirants for naval officer
and selecting some person to stand as
the unanimous choice Of the party. Il
is hoped that this plan will be agreed
to by the several candidates in the in
terest of harmony, for if the President
is confused by tactional quarrels, the
place may go outside OF our race as the
whites will take advantage OF he mud

their own. The matter will not be tax.

will always be remembered by his
brother officers for his action during
the hurricane in Samoa several years
ago, when several American, British
and German ships were wrecked. A
notable incident Of that disaster is
verifcation of the saying that blood
is thicker than water. The skill anu
heroism displayed by the American
officers and men under command OF
...asEoiral Kimberley on that occasion
thrilled the whole country.
AS the British cruiser Calliope,
which had more engine power than
the other ships present, steamed out
of the harbor to safety in the open
sea Admiral Kimberley assembled the
band on deck Of the flagship Trenton
and had It play "God Save the Queen
and 'the Star Spangled Banner The
Trenton was grinding to pieces on the
rect at the time, but the skill AMI
seamanship displayed by the British

extent that they lined up on deck and
