GANG R

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap-
pearance or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part OF the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
uently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage

A CORONATION PRORLEM

The President wants to please his
daughter Alice, and she wants to wit
ness the ceremonies at the coronation
Of King Edward. 1t is stated in some
of the Washington dispatches that he
has consented to permit her to accom-
pany special envoy Whitelaw Reds
family.
1t has not been officially announced
that he has given his consent. There
are difficulties in the way of arranging
for his daughters presence at the coro-
nation ceremonies. 1t is stated that
If she is noticed at all by the commit
tee in charge of the ceremonies she will
have to rank with the princesses. She
will have to wear robe of purple and
be lodged in royal palace.
And the question is whether the Eng
lish government will be satisfied to
permit her to witness the ceremonies
without noticing her in any way what
ever. 1t is particularly anxious at this
time to have the friendship of the
United States. The point might be
made that even IL the President re-
quested that his daughter should not
be noticed he would not be pleased if
his request should be taken literally.
And yet, as already stated, II noticed at
all she would have to be treated just
as the princesses are.
1t might not be altogether pleasing

CURRENT COMMENT.

Col. Watterson's paper, the Louis
vile Courier-Journal (Dem.), does not
think much of the suggestion. 1t says:
1T may turn out, after all, that the
reason the daily papers do not print
more OF the proceedings of Congress is
that the people do not wish to read
any more. There have been no recent
reports of mobs assa aulting the news
paper offices and threatening the pro-
prietors with their vengeance unless
they print more extended reports of
the doings of Congress. If the COM
mittee should ascertain that the peo-
pie really do not care for more light on
the sayings and doings of their Sena-
tors and Representative ii may be
impelled to report that a popular edi-
tion of the Congressional Record will
not fill a long-felt want, unless it also
contain all the sporting news, society
gossip, home and foreign markets,
fashion hints and a continued story by
popular author every Saturday. But
IL all these were added, the desired
condensation would be impracticable.
and the congressional proceedings
might be obscured by the mass of ex-
traneous matter"
Senator Bacon's proposition to pop
ularize the Congressional Record by
cheapening the price of 1t is attracting
attention and comment. The Pitts
burg Post (DemO thinks well of the
idea. IL says I'VE waste great deal
of public money on official printing
that is of little value compared with
placing fun reports of debates within
the reach of those who desire them,
and this can be done under Senate
Bacon's plan with little or no addi-
tional expenditure. The circulation Of
the Record as he proposes will not be
very great, flt will go into the hands
of those interested in such matters
diligent students OF our system Of gov
ernment-in its practical workings"
The Pittsburg Dispatch says "The
proposition that Admiral Dewey and
Gen. Miles shall be sent abroad TO
procure government exhibits for the
81. Louis Exposition has the merit OF
novelty. OF course, while they are
gone, the two best drummers OF the
country should be selected and put In
command OF the army and navy"

RELIGION AND POVERTY.

Charles Bartlett Dyke, in an article
in the Popular Science Monthly, says
that the lack of thrift among the ne
gro children of the South is largely
due to the sanction placed upon pow
erty by their religious teachers.
Mr.. Dyke says he obtained his data
by requesting 1900 children to give
written answers to the question,
Would you like to be rich, and why?"
and How much money of your own
did you have last week, and what did
you do with it?" Half of the replies
received by him came from the cities
of Wilmington, Del, Baltimore, Wash
ington, Norfolk, Newport News and
Hampton, and the other half from
the most enlightened rural districts of
Virgiania, Georgia, North Carolina and
Alabama" OF the children between IA
and 20 years DID, he says, II per cent.
of those in the cities and so per cent.
of those in the country preferred pow
erty. One girl of 16 wrote: 81 would
not like to be rich, because the Bible
say 1T is just as impossible for a rich
d
camel to get through a cambrac needle
eye" Another girl gave as her reason
for preferring poverty, "Rich people
is always sickly and poor people has
good health An Alabama youth of
II thought riches would be spiritual
aid to him. 81 would like to be RICH"
he wrote, because / could serve God
better. I wouldn't have to plow and
get angry with the mules" Out of
the mass of the evidence, however, Mr..
Dyke draws the conclusion that the re-
ligious teaching of the colored min
istry are in favor Of poverty and
against riches; that 1t justifies sloth
and destroys ambition.
The conclusion does an injustice to
the colored preachers. There is no in
dividual who has a higher apprecia-
ton of the dollar or delights more to
hear the chink of the coin than the
colored brother of the cloth. AS mat
ter of fact in ninety-nine cases out
Of a hundred his constant exhortation
to his congregation is to work, to hus-
tie, and get money. He knows very
well that when his flock is prosperous
it means prosperity for the church and
himself individually. If it were not for
the 'roastings" that the colored preach
ers are wont to give their congrega-
tions, there would be more slothfuI-
ness and idleness than there is.
1t is incorrect to say that the negro
remains poor because of his religious
principles. He wants every dollar that
he can get. One trouble is that he
spends the dollar as soon as. he gets
it. Another is that in a great many
cases he is too indolent to hustle for
dollars. He prefers idleness and pow
erty to thrift and property. 1t is not
religion that keeps poor the majority
of those negroes who are poor; it is
laziness and inprovidence. And the
same is true of a great many white
persons.

pie along the projected line put up
money. and, for all we know, it is up

The scheme was a magnificent one.
If we are not mistaken the road was
to be an air line trunk from Indianap-
oils or Chicago to Port Royal or Sa-
vann9h. and was to have four tracks
two for passengers and two for freight
ana it was to be operated by electric
ity. It was simply magnificent-on pa
per.
1t seems that Col. Boone says, or his
friends say, that the money was to
have been furnished by an English
syndicate, there being too much oppo-
sition to the road in this country, be-
cause it would compete with so many
Of the other great railroads, but when
the Boer war began the English would

time. They decided to finish the
Boer war first. After that is ended
it is expected, so some of the Black
Diamonds friends say, they will take
up the Black Diamond road again.
1t is to be hoped that there is no
mistake about this. We should not
like to predict, however, that there
will be a railroad built on the route
marked out for the Black Diamond.
But of one thing we feel pretty GER
