THE NEGRO PRESS.
Edilor G. J. Perry Takes q Hopeful View

Christopher J. Perry. Esq, Editor of
"The Philadelphia TrIbune,' address
ed the Bethel Literary Society last
Tuesday evening, his subject being
"rhe Future of the AfrO-American
Press"
Within the past few years affairs in
newspaperdOm have gone through
process of evolution. While no dis-
tinctive change mas taken place SUD
denly, the avefage paper OF today Is
quite different from that Of q few years
ago. Most of the changes of the past
have been beneficial to the patron,
some have benefited both publisher
and patron. while not few have been
detrimental TO the former, increasing
his labors without augmentjng his prof
its. That this evolution is TO continue
there can be no doubt Ia view Of this
fact, 1t may be well TO pause and III
qu1Ie, "Wha is the future of the Ne
gro Press?" That there Is q futnre for
the Negro Press ia certain. No human

THE NEGRO AT HIS BEST.
&C "ci, d 81 t n. l. p 90

Mr.. Taylor was first to enter the stage,
leading by the hand the great virtuOso,
Miss Ethel Barnes. one of London's S
greatest, who was to play the works OF
the young Negro master.
And right here let me make a con-
fession, an open one, which L hope
may do my soul much needed good. 1t
was not until | heard the sound of that
instrument which Pat described (the
first one he ever saw as the shape of
a goose and about the size of a turkey,
which the fellow took bv the neck. turned
it on its back and then began rubbing its
belly with a stick and it began a squawk-
ing till it set all his blood tingling and
his feet a dancing g'-nOt till | had lis

| was controlled by the influence of my
early American training and environ
ment which diStOrtS our minds and
handicaps us all along the race of life.
There stood the name Negro" What
did that mean to me? | knew the COM

seen audiences under the spell of his
well-nigh matchleSs genius. | had seen
them arise and cheer again and again
while under the influence of his music;
| knew him to be a gentleman of the
loftiest ideas and deep thinker; had
heard him say he had read nearly every
poem in the English language which was
worth reading; that he had read "Par-
adise Lost at least fifty or sixty times

I never was so proud of the name

the dignity, the greatness that can be
implied and associated with it. Oh. the
grandeur, the depth of feeling. the emo

CORRUPTION IN SUSSEX.

1t Reached the Climax Last Tuesday
Cupidtty Was Also Combined with
Revenge.
Laurel, Nov. 8.-The general election
of 1902 is history, decidedly profane
history, too. The depth of degradation
has been attained in the franchise of
Sussex county. The votes that were
oast for cash, regardless of results,
were far in excess of those cast for the
defence of principle. The cash de-
livery franchises are no longer confined
to the negro and illiterate white ele-
ment, but 80 universal has debauchery
become that men of property and sup
posed influence, men of education and
professional men not even excepting
the ministry smile upon the distribu-
tion Of money for votes, and in some
cases have themselves taken the guilty
price. Cupidity and revenge were the
motives that made Tuesdays vote an
object lesson in vice. Addicks Repub-
iioan money dumped into the pockets
of venal voters and iudioiously dis
tributed among disgruntled politicians
whose aspirations had been defeated at
the primaries, controlled the ballot,
and as If these were not enough of evil,
prominent men on both tickets slaught-
cred their fellow nominees for the ad-
vancement Of their own majority some
even going SO far as TO make open deals
with the opposition leaders to effect
this purpnse
