demanded and most valuable in cur
economic system, and we do him great
wrong to unfit him by educationA to be-
come a valuable citizen Besides, to con-
tinue to levy enormous taxes upon the
white race in their impoverished condition
to confer useless education upon the
black race is gross injustice and oppres-
sion upon the white race. We are col
lecting annually money in large amounts
from the white race and spending it up
on the black, and leaving the children OF
those who pay the money uneducated.
This is a wrong and outrage which must
cease. The ridiculous argument often
made that we. must educate the negro or
he will barbarize us is answered by
the experience of the past two hundred
years. The efficiency and salvation of
the negro depends upon his contact with
the white race, but this contact and re-
lation must be one of inferiority and not
superiority. Educate him and he becomes
alienated from the white race and worth
less as a rule.
In taking the position | do, | desire to
say that l do not advocate denying all
privileges of education to the negro.
Certainly the poll tax which he pays
should be expended on, his education,
supplemented by such other sums as may
be equitable, and his protection and right
before the law should be jealousy guard
ed, and assured. / am and always have
been true friend to what l conceive
the best interest of the negro race.
These and other interests, the details
of which cannot now be discussed will
be presented for your consideration and
upon them | stand and respectfully So
licit your votes
Respectfully,

examples for young Irish-Americans to
follow. M. j., R. B. and Pat Bannon,
Jr., are all solidly established business
men. They are not only successfully
carrying on the business established by
their estimable Irish father, but have
branched out in new lines. M. j. Bannon
is Vice President and general manager of
the P. Bannon Sewer Pipe Company, a
business established by his father, who
remains as President of the concern.
Richard p. Bannon, the second son, is
Treasurer of the same company. M. ].

is recognized as one of the ablest young
business men in the city. R. B., or
"Dick," and Patrick Bannon, Jr.. have
not been quite as long in business, but
they are rapidly making names for them
selves as men of integrity and business
foresight.

MuLLIGAN.

In these hustling days of ours, when
the dollar is being eagerly chased back
and forth across the continent, the weary
traveller is forced to stop and rest at GER
tain intervals. of course these places OF
rest and refuge commonly called hotels
have to keep pace with the times.
The leader of the flour hundred"
in New York expects the same
entertainment in Louisville as he
does in the metropolis, so that
the hotel managers have to be up to date
to catch the trade. George E. Mulligan,
manager of the Louisville Hotel, is one
of these up-to-date managers. He has
by long odds the leading hotel in Louis
vile and he is conducting 1t in splendid
manner. Mr.. Mulligan was born in
Canada, of Irish parentage. He came to
Louisville when quite boy with his late
lamented brother, Thomas Mulligan, and
when the latter died George succeeded
him as manager of the Louisville Hotel.
The officers of the Louisville Hotel Com
pany have never had cause to regret the
faith they placed in him. He is master
of the art of entertaining his guests. He
never allows any one to do anything he
can do himself. You can see him in the
markets every morning securing the best
that can be had for the inner man. He
is proud of his Irish blood, devoat
Catholic and one of the pioneer members
of the Knights of Columbus in Kentucky.

BROWNE.

John E. Browne, the grocer at Twelfth
and Zane, is genial, warm-hearted gen
tleman that it is a pleasure to meet. John
is a native of Ireland, but came to Amer
lea and settled in Louisville when quite
a young man. He learned the trade Of
boiler-making and for many years was
employed in the Louisville & Nashville
shops, Mr.. Browne had no intention of
working for some one else all his life.
He saved his money and opened gro
Gerry. Since then he has prospered, and
though he is not yet as rich as Gould or
Vanderbilt things are easy with him. He
is a prominent Hibernian and quite a
musician. During the recent Irish fair
he contributed to the pleasure of many
by playing Irish airs on the flute. Mr..
Browne doubtless is familiar with more
Irish airs than any other man in the city.
The only trouble is that It takes whole
lot of coaxirg to induce him to play.

cAyANAUGH.

John Cavanaugh, the new President of
Division 3, A. o. H., is one of the most
active Hibernians around the Falls Cities.
Although quite young man he is old in
Hibernianism and never loses a chance
to promote the interests of the order. Mr..
Cavanaugh is a molder by trade and for
many years has been in the employ of
Bridgeford & Co. He is also an active
member of the Molders' Union and was
President of that organization. He has
been repeatedly urged to accept the Office
again, but has always declined. There is
no doubt that under his able administra-
ton Lewiston 8 will make great strides
both in point of numbers and social en-
tertainments.

American who has come to the front
within few years. Frank had the adj
vantage of good education, nothing
fancy, understand, hut firm and solid.
Moreover. he had good Irish father
and a good Irish mother, may the Lord
have mercy on her soul. He learned a
trade and was housekeeping boy. He
never was ashamed Of the fact that good
Irish blood coursed through his veins,
and when the occasion offered for him to
enter politics he undertook that with
as much zeal as he did any task he was
ever set to perform. He Yves an expert

Sullivan.

Captain Will Sullivan, Chief of Detect
ives, has risen to his position on account
of his energy, sobriety. and strict atten-
ton to business. AS boy he did any
thing he was put to do thoroughly. He
first came into prominence in the humble
capacity of driver Of the work-house
wagon. So we'll did he do his work that
when Ike Kelly resigned as Superin-
tendent of the work house Will Sullivan
was chosen to succeed him. When
Mayor Weaver was elected about six
years ago one of his first acts was to
appoint Will Sullivan as Chief of Detect
ives. In this capacity he proved so sue
cessful that when Mayor Granger was
elected he continued him in Office. He
now has national reputation as a thief
taker.

lyman,

Mike lyman, Deputy Bailiff of the
Police Court, is one of the best politicians
at the City Hall. He is Irish to the core
and an active Hibernian, yet he has as
many friends among the Germans as
among his own people. He treats all
alike and is always in good humor. If
he can't do all you ask he will do the best
he can, and that is the reason of his sue
cess. Mike is a member of the Molders'
Union and takes an active part in all
labor movements. He is happily mar
ried and is the father of two pretty chill
dren. 1t is to be hoped that Mike will
become a candidate for a good paying
office himself at some future date and
then his friends will lift him over to Easy
street.

social circles. When his beloved father
died few years ago AL at once took
charge of the business in the interest of
his sisters, his brother and himself.
Young, energetic and thoroughly
equipped, he had little trouble in build
ing up a trade which is constantly grow
ing. When Charles +. Granger became
a candidate for Mayor and it was neces-
sary to have good men with him on the
Democratic ticket, AL Smith was Sc
lected as one of the candidates for the
lower board of the General Council from
the Eighth Ward. The ticket won and
AL Smith helped to make the victory
complete. He is quiet and unostenta-
tious in his manner and yet no one ever
had a truer friend. A few weeks ago he
married a most estimable young lady,
who will never have cause to regret her
choice in choosing partner for her
journey through life.

Dougherty & keenan,, is one of those
modest and assuming young men that
help greatly to make the Irish-Americans
recognized both in business and social
circles. He stands as high iu the COM
munity as did his estimable father, James
Dougherty, when he lived. He is as gen.
tie as woman in manner and has kind
word for all. Mr.. Dougherty is an active
member of the Ancient Order Of Hiber-
mans and Catholic Knights of America,
and one of the prominent members of St.

O'CONNOR.

James O'Connor, the chief time keeper
of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company's mechanical department, is an
example of what Catholic school training
will do. Jim is product of st. Xavier's
College. He is the same earnest, hard
working, straightforward boy now that
he was when he left the Xaverian Broth
ers. Under his regime the business of
the Office has increased nearly three-fold,
yet he grows with the business and has
never been found wanting when any
knotty problem in railroad affairs was
to be solved. 1t is pity that some
sweet girl does not corral him before he
gets any older.

Kisses FOR ROSEBERY
London Liberal Association Shows Hos

London Liberal ASSOCIATION Shows Hos
tiIity to the Former Premier.
London, Jan. 14.-That the Liberal
party is not at all enthusiastic over the
promised return of Lord Rosebery
was amply demonstrated at the meet
ing of the London Liberal association
in st. James hall. Great things were
expected from the meeting, as it was
known that the former leader of the
party would demonstrate his intentions
in a letter. The letter was read, and
was received in an astonishing man
ner. Il was cheered and jeered and
Kissed.
And not only did the audience throw
cold water on the Rosebery declara-
ton, but Sir Henry Campbell-Banner
man, in a wildly cheered speech, said
he welcomed Lord Rosebery back to
the fold, but with reservations. In
fact, Sir Henry. said in SO many words
that if Lord Rosebery returns in full
standing to the Liberal party he must
come in and subscribe most heartily
to sfll the policies that have been main
tanned and upheld by those who have
been faithful always.
