It is of More Importance Than Con- sumers, Says Duke of Devonshire.

London, July 7.-Presiding at the an- nual meeting here today of the British Empire League, the Duke of Devonshire CLord President of the Council and lead CT of the Liberal Unionists), discussing the conferences of the Colonial Premiers. said the question of imperial defense was paramount. The question of imperial commercial relations would solve itself at no distant day in accordance with economic laws which will inevitably as- sert themselves and which he did not think would present any obstacle to the consummation of that which they all must desire, namely, free trade or the nearest approach to free trade within every portion of the empire. Imperial defense, however. could not wait. If they waited for it to solve itself. they might wait until there was no British Empire to defend.

HON JOHN E BUSH

came one of the most accurate and reli-
able clerks there, winning high commen-
dation from the authorities and being
fully indorsed for the position of chief
clerk of the division in which he was
serving by the entire Republican State
Central Committee of Arkansas.
Mr. Bush is now receiver of public
moneys at Little Rock, Ark, having been
appointed to that position by the late
President Mckinley III 1893 and reap
pointed by President Theodore Roose-
Welt
But the service which Mr. Bush has
rendered which has reflected the great
est credit on himself and been of great
est benefit to his people was the creation
and thorough and successful organiza-
ton of the Mosaic TemplarS of Amer
ica," a beneficial organization whose
ramihcations now include ten States and
two Territories, a membership in eX
cess of $4,000, and which, since its or
ganization in 1882 has paid out in death
benefits more than 100000. Mr.. Bush
is the Grand Scribe.
Mr. Bush has also what we (to use
an euphemiSm) may call the "acquisitive
temperament" for we are reliably in-
formed that he is holder of real es-
tate to the handsome tune of $4,000.
Mr.. Bush stands in our highest class
as convincing and magnetic orator. a

We have always maintained that m
spite of its vicissitudes, its prosecutions,
and the dead weight of ignorance it has
had to carry, the race in the great South
lang is our highest hope.
We hear of times that try mems souls,
we are taught the immense cleansing and
purifying power of the fires of adversely,
and it does indeed seem that we are al
ready beginning to demonstrate the truth
Of both adages.
The struggle for education and for
material advancement is keen enough III
tine North but no such sacrifice of man
hood, no such profound humiliation 5
required of the Northern Negro as IS
and has been the fortune and the fate
of the Southern brother.
\ bcnehcent Providence has, however,
given the race an indomitable will and
am Unsuitable appetite for the higher
things of life, and we are just simply
going to have them, come veal or come
woe.
How many admirable examples have
We already of the races determination TO
elevate itself? There is hardly a city
IN the South in which there is not an
embarrassment of riches in this regard.
And they are not all preachers or teach
tr> OF politicians, even; please remem-
Der. In every industrial pursuit, IN every
economic cause they are numerous, and
is ii not true that whenever their work
Is compared with that of the white man
m similar situation, the Southern Negro
Is holding his own with his white broth
er and Is feeling no sense whatever of
mechanical or intellectual inferiority.
Where can we find a brighter example
than that of Hon. ]. E. Bush, of Little
Rock, Arkansas? Here is a gentleman,
sui comparatively young, but who is an
unqualified success. Born in Tennessee
III 1880 and brought up in the State of
Arkansas during the dark davS of the

A feStal occasion that shall liuger long
i'll the memory of all who were present
was the complimentary stag" given III
honor of Col. Robert R Church, of
Memphis, Tenn, by Judge Robert H.
Terrell at the beautiful home of the lat
ter, $50 L street northwest, on Friday
evening of last week Not a more rep
reSentative assemblage of gentlemen of
the negro race has ever been gathered
tOgethT under any one roof in this land,
the company typifying in its broadest
sense the education, the wealth. the
moral culture, and solid worth of our
progressive people. That such splen-

gagged III a daily conflict with the stern
activities of this age of keen competition
to pause and bow In homage to one of
their brethren who has wrung success
from the vineyard is the highest of
compliments to him who occupied the
center of the stage" and indicated as
no other sign could so empatically have
done the lofty esteem and deep regard in
which Col. Church is held by the lead
ers of thought throughout the land. In
that brilliant thrOng the statesman, jur-
lSt, lawyer, doctor, educator, journalist,
author, banker, and general business
man touched shoulders, and when their
voices were lifted up in mellihuouS
speech the chord of praise for the mas
terly achievements and proud record of
Col. Church as man and citizen rang
with perfect timfre. 1t was a fitting
tribue to one who has pointed out in
his own way, and proven by mathematic-
al exactness, that energy is sufficient
capital to make business pay, and
that unceasing industry is motor that
moves only upward. Just as other lead
ers are succeeding along lines worked
out by their peculiar genius, Col. Church
chose the business arena, and is among
the first to understand that the prime
requisite in the work of race building
was to secure large holdings in the ma
terial things of life, that character and
cash are running mates" and that cul-
ture is the goddess that awaits them at

full duty, and in the city of Memphis

him for wise counsel, for substantial aid,

auditorium, his beautiful home, and his
open purse for public benefit all stand
as monuments to his high conception OF
