1SSS-hsre, where we are loved, honored
and respected by all classes of people
from the humblest to the highest re-
gardless of denomination. We left
Richmond last Saturday on the 6:I2
4. NJ, train In answer to an urgent
appeal from Revs. III. II. Waring b D.,
and Rev. w. ID. Lovings, pastors re-
spectively of the Shiloh and Ebenezer
Baptist Churches. We came also In
answer to a call from the Third Baptist
Church where we preached six years to
assist them in raising money, at all
these tchurches, Sunday and Tuesday
nights.
We met most flattering gathering
indeed 1T was perfect ovation we
preached the gospel and held up the
virtues of The American Beneficial
Insurance Company to the perfect satis-
faction of all who heard us.
Alexandria is our old home and no
man living can come here and do us
any harm-especially if he is feather
weight, indeed it is hard for any feather
weight TO step immediately from the
tonsorial profession to that Of an Insur-
ance President and combat with a man
OF experience in the insurance world.
NEW MEMBERS JOINING.
1 am now sitting in our beautiful
office No. 900 Princess St., and even
while sit here, people are pouring in
preparing themselves TO be written up
in The American, they have not time to
wait for the agents to reach their houses,
just think Of it already under the
management of Mr.. J. E. Harris with
his six excellent agents in twelve days
about four hundred (400) persons have
taken policies in this company, and they
declare that in two weeks time more
there must be one thousand $1,000 men,
bers in this city.
The people here especially the Third
Church people feel outraged at the false
statements made in recent newspaper
reports about 80 called disturbances at
their church, when the former pastor
was there holding service for them.
AN EMPHATIC DENIAL.
No such disturbance or excitement
nor disgraceful scene has ever occurred
in this church, they further more say
that no living man can ever think of
answering any remarks made by your
humble servant in their church until
such persons proves himself worthy
of respectable notice, they further de-
clare that no man shall write their church

BEEF TRUST AN ISSUE.

A special dispatch from Washington to
the New York Herald says:
1.-The issue has appeared, gentlemen
the disclosures about the Beef Trust. The
people in the country are not giving much
thought to the water cures" and the
sand cures" but they are doing some
very hard thinking about the beef COM
bine. The women are going to have a
voice in the coming campaign, and if you
have any doubt as to how kiting the price
of beef affects the housekeepers, 60 down
to Lexing ton Market, in Baltimore, Satur-
day night and hear what the women have
to say to their butchers
"This is the kind of argument Senator
elect Arthur P. German, of Maryland, has
been making at his conferences with the
members of the Democratic Congressional
Comm ittee. Senator German has from
the first been deeply impressed with the
magnitude of the exposures of the com
bine as factor in the approaching cam
paign. He told Representative Griggs, of
Georgia, the chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, that the com
mittee would be acting wisely if it based
the bulk of its campaign literature on the
newspaper articles attacking the com.
bine.
He has made no secret of his impress
sons on this point He has talked with
hundreds of public men about the impor-
lance of the trust issue to the Democratic
party.
Senator German believes that it would
be impossible for the Democrats to find
another combine, if they went over the
country with search warrant, that would
bring home to the cnple of the country
in such a way the economic evils of sor-
did combination. To group of Demo-
Gratis last night he is reported to have
said that the Democrats had much less to
go on in 1892 than they have now. He
regards the Homestead riots, which
emphasized the Democratic ba'tlecry of
'plutocracy' in 1892 and aided in electing
Cleveland, as mere bagatelle when com
pared with the Beef Trust issue as poll
tical force.
The Democratic Congressional Com
mittee was so deeply impressed by the
practical advice and suggestions of Mr..
German that steps have already been
taken to make the Beef Trust conspicu-
Gus in the approaching campaign.
1T is the intention to supply ever home
in the United States with all the infor-
nation obtainab!e bearing on the I'M
reasonable and unjustifable increase in
the price of fresh meat to the consumer.
The campaign orators VIII be loaded
with data on the same subject, so that
every man, woman and child in this
country will be made familiar with the
inside working of the beef combine

in debating the Philippine bill and the
prospects are that all this week will be
spent in the same way. Senator Dubois
tells me that he expects to address the
Senate on the subject and Senator Bailey
told me that he would probably do so
Senator Foraker will speak for the rcpub
iicans and probably Senator SpoCner
The democrats feel that they will tie dere-
lict in their duty if they do not completely
expose to the public the situation in the
islands and the probable results Of the
republican policy which is un American
in every detail
The sudden death of three democratic
members of the House of Representatives
early last week, Messrs Cummings, Otcy
and Salmon, seemed about to be followed
byanother on Friday when delegate Smith
of Arizona, exhausted with his efforts in
behalf of the Territorial Omnibus bill
concluded a speech in favor of the h'!l
and fell insensible with Il slight stroke OF
apoplexy. Fortunately, however, Mr.
SUlltu soon SuONeu SiHES vi ItCoNciS anu
is now regarded by his physicians as out
of danger The bill passed the House
with the provisions, that the constitutional
convention of New Mexico might change
the name of that territory on its becoming
State, and that the convention of Okla
homa should adopt an irrevocable statute
to the effect that the Federal government
should have the privilege of attaching tt
the new State any or all of Indian Terri
tory at any time

AFTER THE BEEF RONS.

Attorney General Knox has fired a
broadside at the beef barons. In the
bill filed in the United States Circuit
Court for the Northern District of Illinois
Mr.. Knox rakes the alleged Meat Trust
fore and aft. Without mincing words he
charges the combination Of Western pack
ers with violation of the Federal laws.
He alleges that they have engaged in a
conspiracy to make the necessaries of life
more costly. and he asserts that in order
to carry out their plans they have made
an illegal arrangement with the railroads.
There is probably no lawyer in the
United States who knows more about the
laws relating to trusts than the Attorney
General. That he will give the beef CON-
bine bad quarter Of an hour" in coult
can scarcely be doubted. That he will be
able to compel the dissolution of the trust
and enforce respect for the law is the
hope of all who realize the necessity of
imposing restraints upon combinations
that defy the statutes. The people, in
view of the failure of past prosecutions,
have grown skeptical as to the willingness
of the Government to prosecute the trusts
They have been told so often that the law
is inadequate and they have seen SO many
bewildering decisions by the courts that
they have almost despaired of relief. Mr..
Knox believes, it is said, that he can make
out an overwhelming case against the
packers who are alleged to have entered
into combination in restraint of trade.
If he does bring conclusive proof, it is
hoped that the courts will CO operate with
him in destroying all combines which are
a menace to the public welfare.-Boltimo, e
Sun.

So overwhelming is the cal: nifty
that has fallen upon the people of the
island OF Maftlniquc-and, owing to
the bad news that has come from St.
Vincent, of that island also-that the
amount appropriated by the Govern
ment, even should it be raised to the
Presidents figure of 100000. VIII be
but as drop in the bucket, says the
Baltimore Neus. 1t is estimated that
a hundred thousand person in Marti-
nique are menaced 10y famine. As the
New Y ork Times" ays,thc conditions
obtaining there are by no means CON-
parable to those Of a city swept by an
ordinary conflagration. In large
part of Martinique the earth itself has
been destroyed. us crops have been
utterly wiped out its streams of water
rendered undrinkable There is dan
ger of farther eruptions, and the peo-
pie are in state of terror. Relief
must come from the outside, and
come at once. President Roosevelt
prompt action in appointing a com
mittee, with members in all the large
cities, to collect and forward funds was
most timely, and should be cnthusias-
tically supported Icy the people gen.
orally. Baltimore must do her share.
Let our citizens be swift with their
subscriptions, for this is pre-emlnently
time when he gives twice who gives
quickly.

SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION

Next THUS lay, if the program is
carried ont, the leaders of the Bocr
forces viii notify Lord Kitchener
whether the commanders are Willing
to make peace, or whether they are de-
termined to continue the war. That
the British Government is anxious,
says the Baltimore San, to end hostil-
tiles is apparent, although Lord Sails
burys recent speech, in which he still
held out for unconditional surrender,
may possibly indicate that the Gov
eminent is not united on the terms
which may be offered to the Beers. 1t
is highly improbable that the burghers
would yield Internationally. Those
still in the field have little 10 lose by
continuing the war. Their homes
have been devastated and their prop
erty destroyed, and they would scarce
ly be in a worse position year hence
if they kept up the war than they
would be if they surrendered now and
threw themselves upon the mercy of
their conquerors. 1t may be that the
British Government is prepared to
grant more generous terms than Lord
Salisbury's bitter speech would indi-
cate. In that event the Beers may
consent TO make peace. They are
still strong enough, however, to give
the British great deal of trouble,
and it is not inconceiyable that they
may keep up the fight until those now
in the field are cxterminated or John
Bull is more concilatory and gen.
erous.

The republican party poses as the
friend of the oppressed, and the liberia
tor OF the enslaved and boasts that it
will aid in ''freeing" any people held
against their will, in Subsection, says
the Alexandria Gazette. But the lead.
ers cannot conceal their duplicity nor
hide their greed for gain. In the Sen
ate Mr.. Foraker spoke, evidently for
the administration, on the Philippine
bill, and said, Until we shall have es-
tab.ished law and order IN the islands,
until we have established stable gov
ernm,nt there and lead those people
into the ways Of light and happiness,
it is important that we stay there, per-
haps even longer than has been ,x-
pected." Mr. Hoar interrupted to in
quire if, when all our treaty obi "a
tions had been established in the Phil
ippines, We should recognize the right
of the Filipinos to independence. Il
believe" said he, chat the affirmation
of that duty would have prevented
this war. l ask the Senator, shall we
disclaim any light or desire to hold
the Filipinos in su',jection?" Mr..
Foraker in reply said that in his Judge
ment it would be most impolitic for
Congress now to declare absolutely
what the government would do at
some future time, but that neither this
nor the next administration would
withdraw the American forces from the
Philippines. And as far as the re-
publican party is corccrncd the Fill
pinos will nevcl be 'flee.' The re-
publicans claim that they bought the
islands and that the inhabitants were
thrown in, and that they must be be-
nevoiently assimilated-which accord
ing to present appearances. means
that they must be exterminated. Mr..
Tillman may have been quite right
when, in reply to Mr.. Foraker, he
said he believed the policy of taking
the Philippines was to enable their
exploitation by capitalists, while the
army protected them.
