ton in America.

Within the last thirty years we
have been able to eliminate nearly
fifty per cent of our illiteracy. We
have 100000 children in the public
schools and 100000 students in the
higher institutions; students learning
trades, 10000; teachers, 10000. There
are 25O,0OO volumes in Negro libraries,
l56 institutions for higher education;
500 physicians; $50 lawyers; 1,2OO
books written by Negroes, and 400
newspapers under our managefent.

A Political Farce.
Editor John L. Thompson and wife,
of Des MOines, Iowa, were among the
Afro-American visitors to this city
during the past week. Mr.. Thomp-
sen and wife were delegates to the
Council which convened in st. Paul
not long since and incidentally attend
ed the Afro-American editoriel asso-
citation which held it's session in the
same city and at the same time. Speak
ing about the labors of the Council,
Mr.. Thompson is of the opinion that
it has resolved itself into more of a
political club than an institution for
the benefit of Negroes. Scheming pol
iticians are now at the head of it, who
are using the institution for the bene-
fit of political aspirants both national
and otherwise. The election Cf T,
Thomas Fortune as president almost
disrupted the organization and he is of
the opinion that the Council will never
hold another successful meeting. With
such men as Fortune, Cyrus FIELDS
Adams, and few other man, who have
no ambitions or aspirations in life
beyond the serving of cheap John poll
ticians at the heads of the institution
there is no hope of it accomplishing
any good either now or any time in
the future. Mr.. Thompson is the pro
prletor OF the Iowa Bystander and
makes bold to announce that it is the
only Republican paper edited by col
ored man in the entire state.

Alfonso An insane.

Royalty in Europe is evidently hav-
ing hard pull of it these days, as the
announcement of King Edwards ILL
ness is followed by a similar announce
ment that Alfonso, King of Spain, is
drifting into a hopeless insane. His
mind shows a decided weakness in
more ways than one and it is thought
by medical experts that he will never
direct the affairs of his government
for no other reason than on account
of his mental alterations. The cause of
the Kings troubles arises from his per-
sistency in assOciating with low and
vicious people. Frequently he unob-
served leaves the palace dressed as a
laborer and seeks dance halls and

Speaking about the actions of the
Spokane convention, prominent west
side politician said that it looked to
him a good deal like that an under
standing had been reached by Wilson
and Preston, and that if Mr.. Preston
did not have strength enough to have
himself elected United States senator
he would most likely turn what
strength he could to Mr.. Wilson and
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-07-25

vice versa There is no doubt but that
Senator Wilson could have beaten
Governor Mcbride so badly in Spo-
kane that the governor would not have
known where he last saw Spokane at,
ator did not do so, on the other hand,
he made no effort whatever on the con-
vention floor to oppose the commits
sion bill, and if that does not look
as though something was doing in
Wilson-Preston circles then | am bad
ly mistaken.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-07-25

In speaking about the matter to a
friend of Senator Wilson he remarked:
why should Mr. Wilson lend the rail
roads any assistance? Did not the
railroads in Spokane or their agents
do everything in their power to defeat
Mr.. Wilson in the primaries? Every
railroad man in Spokane worked like
a Dick NaylOr' to land the opposing
tickets in every precinct in the coun-
ty to that advocated by Mr.. Wilson,
and why should he, after he had won
the fight in spite of them, lend them
any assistance in his county cOnven-
ton? If it be true therefore, as has
been surmised, that truce has been
formed between the Wilson and Pres
ton men it is plain to be seen that the
railroads will support Mr. Ankney in
the coming senatorial fight and the
rank and file of the party will support
either Wilson or Preston.
If the holding of an early conven-
ton on the part of King county has
been of any benefit to any one as yet,
the Pie-maker has not been able to
figure it out. The nominations, it must
be admitted, have been made and the
aspirants for office know where they
are at so far as nominations are con-
cerned, but the convention having
done it's work and adjourned, it has
been as completely forgotten as if it
had never been held and there will be
no signs of political life before next
September, and even then not until
the state convention has adjourned
and the Pie-maker is Of the opinion
that trading has been very scarce, and
in short nothing has been accom-
pfished by the early convention.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1902-07-25

Going over the list of big counties
that have already held their conven-
tions, it will be seen that Walla Walla
endorsed Ankeny for United States
senator and Jones for denomination to
Congress but did not even mention
Cushman. King county endorsed Har-
old Preston for United States senator
and likewise endorsed Cushman and
Jones and unanimously endorsed Will
E. Humphrey for the third congress
man for this state. Whitman, while
it did not endorse either Preston or
Ankeny, did endorse a railroad COM
mission bill, which was the same as
endorsing Preston, and yet it nominal
ed legislative ticket, which perhaps
is most decidedly infavOr of Levi An
kney. 1t endorsed Jones for re-nOmi
nation and it's own home candidate as
one of his associates. Spokane county
endorsed the candidacy of John l.. Will
son for United States senator and re-
nominated both Jones and Cushman,
though it made no reference TO the
third member of congress; it, however,
SO it is reported, was very favorable
to the candidacy of Will E. Humphrey.

the exercises, it will be performed on
that date and thereby relieve the sus-
pense and worry that have given him
much mental anxiety ever since his
first coronation disappointment. If
King Edward should fail to be crowned
King of England complications as to
the heir apparent to the throne would
set in and it might result in that gov
ernment being completely overthrown
and a Republican form of government
established in lieu thereof.
Many Sunday Fatalities.
Last Sunday proved to be rather de-
structive both to human life and prop
erty in a great many sections of the
United States. Near Rochester, New
York, two trains crashed into each
other and one person was instantly
killed while twenty others were more
or less injured, some, it is thought,
fatally. A fierce tornado swept over
the country in and about Baltimore,
Maryland, doing much damage to life
and property thereabouts. Nine per-
sons were drowned in the harbor while
others were injured on the land and
many boats and bOuses were destroyed
by being blown to pieces. News from
Keolzuk, Iowa, were to the effect that
damaging food spread over the
country south of the city caused by the
Mississippi overflowing it's banks and
doing vast amount of damage to the
farms. 1t is estimated that the flood
did damage to the value Of $6,O00,0OO
No loss of life is reported, though
quite a few of the residents of the
lower district have not been accounted
for

The certainty of an interoceanic
canal in directing attention to the
river improvements which are con
templated in this State At
present there is an all water route
from Morgantown past Pittsburg to

completed boats can be hauled from
Fairmont to the gulf. Water rates

THE FORTNIGHTLY.
Very Successful Meeting Friday
Night.

Paper of the Evening Read by Miss
Sarah Johason-Prof. C. III. Patter-
son Read Several short Stories Mrs.
Hirschman Sang In Her Usually Fine
Manner.
This large and popular organization
assembled last night in the elegant
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Milton Hirsch-
man. The president of the club Pro-
fessor G. Ell. Patterson, presided. The
learned secretary Miss Matte Brock,
read an elaborate and carefully writ
ten sketch of the last meeting, Mrs.
Milton Hlrschmau, widely and favor
ably known for her vocal talent, won
encores during the evening, as she
|. favored her guests with several Of her
favorite songs Among these were
1.-THE May Morning. by Luigi Denza,
1.-The Last Night" by Steleshi, and
Loeb Lomond. Mrs. Hirschman's
singing is always impressive and last
night she fully sustained her fair
] fame as vocalist. The regular essay
of the evening was Of an unusually
high order. IL was finely read by its
author Miss S. w. Johnson the gifted
daughter of Judge Okey Johnson. 1t
was entitled sThe Short Story in
America. Few, if any, literary crea-
tions ever read before the Club, have
excelled it 10 ability, symmetry, beau
tiful and forceful diction aud general
impressiveness It won encomiums
from all present.
Professor Patterson probably the
most accomplished elocutionist in
West Virginia followed with two rem
ditions Of representative short stories,
one having an American authorship
and the other an English origin. The
first was Bret Harte's very humorous
production entitled "Tennessee's Part
ner." The other was CUTLER COUGHS
more humorous creation known a.
saint Pran's Visitation. They
were given to the club in a masterfu
manner last evening. It was quit
late when the intellectual feast was
supplemented with an abundance Of
ice cream, cake and coffee. Too much
credit cannot be given to Mr. and
Mrs. Hirsehman for the hospitality
manifested whenever they entertain
the club. At the next meeting Mrs
j. A. Woodward will entertain The
association. Two interesting papers
\ will be read; one by Professor L. l.
Friend on civilian Dean HoWells'
and one by Professor Ell. L. Plumb or

Hicks Predicts the Worst Storm of the
Month.

Prof, Hicks, whose predictions for
March have been very well verified SO
far makes the following prediction,
for the remainder OF the month,
4 reaetionary STORM period will
center on and about the 10th and
Goth, at which time change TO warmer,
falling barometer and wide areas OF
rain and snow will pass eastward
across the country. The storm period
in which Boreas and the eQuinocttal
power will make one OF their final
and worst clashes is central on the
Gath covering the 2ist to 10Th.
The cold wave that is sure TO fol-
low will change To much warmer as
the month goes out, the barometer
will again fall, aud more reactionary
rain and snow will visit many sec
tions in their march across the states.
