Harper's Weekly finds a suggestion
in Booker T. Washington's experience
with the naughty chambermaid, of val
ue in helping Tuskegee institute solve
the great problem of fitting negroes for
useful lives. Educate the young women
to be chambermaids and housekeepers.
Probably thousand Tuskcgee insti-
tutes would not supply the demand for
young women skilled in the art OF
housekeeping.

Here is an obituary printed in a
Kansas paper: "She reared nine
children. She darned 10000 socks.
She cooked 100, 200 meals. She washed
1000, 900 dishes. She died and went
to heaven. There shouldn't be any
doubt about the last part of her ex-
perience and no doubt the change was
welcomed. -Hannibal MOI Journal.

LYNCHlNG AT THE NORTH.

The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.
Elsewhere on this page we publish
some extracts from the editorials on
the Delaware negro burning printed
in northern newspapers. We call at
tention to the fact that not word of
sympathy for the negro is expressed
and that all the condemnation is di-
rected against the spirit of Impotence
with the laws delays that led up to
the lynching. And we further call at
tention to the fact that this showing by
the northern press in nowise differs
from the views constantly expressed
by the press, the officials of states and
the better public sentiment of the
south under like circumstances.
The Constitution, after vainly argu-
ing with its northern contemporaries
for many years that human nature in
their territories is much akin to that
in our section, was naturally curious
to see how, when their turn came, they
would deal with the lynching evil.
But we are not satisfied with the
showing. 1t is far short of the hys-
terics and heroics played off on us
when lynchings have happened in
Georgia and the south. We want, and
have the right to demand, that the
northern press and the people of Del
aware give us the long aited object
lesson of chow to cure the lynching
habit"
They know how to do it, because
they have been telling us for twenty
years how unnecessary. barbarous and
peculiarly southern is the practice of
lynching raping and numbering negro
brutes. Now that the crime with it's
horrors has come home to them and
their people-among whom there is no
clover class" and no ''negro-hating
white trash'-have acted in Illinois
and in Delaware quite as some south
ern people have done. we call upon
them to produce their remedy for the
crime itself and their sure preventative
of the rage of the mob that ends in
lynching!
AT the time of the lynching of Sam
Hose at Newman, in this state, it was
published that the railway company

daily papers and the news service of
the state, it is difficult for the average
reader to learn just what is going on
in the state, especially when anything
which concerns the success of that gu
gantic corporation is at issue.
The United States has concluded to
collect for the millions of dollars worth
of timber which the Amalgamated
stole. The interior and justice de-
partments of the government have been
apprised that convictions can be Sc
cured against private individuals for
trespassing on or appropriating prop
erty from the public domain. Its at
tention has been called to the fact that
suits amounting to the millions pend
ing against the Amalgamated company
for denuding the forests of western
Montana have been pending for years
without progress.
1t has learned that if John Smith cut
two trees from the government land to
help him build his log cabin, he was
prosecuted and fined in the United
States court, but that the Amalgamat-
ed had devastated hundreds of square
miles of forest land, manufactured the
timber and shipped it throughout the
western states, fagrantly robbing the
government of millions of dollars, and
that there seemed to be no redress.
The news that the government has
taken new step to bring the gigantic
trust to time is of not sufficient import
ance to justify prominent position in
the news columns of the daily papers,
yet not one organ Of all the muzzled
press has dared to tell the people that
a special United States attorney had
taken the matter in hand and prom ised
to see that Montana was amply re-
munerated for the forest trees which
had been stolen.
A magnificent university might be
endowed; a commodious asylum built
for her decrepit miners, lumber or
smeltermen; thousand charities
might be assisted by the millions
which the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany has stolen from the hillsides of
Montana.
1t remains to be seen whether
Special Attorney Maynard will make
his promise good and compel the
Amalgamated Copper company to pay
back to Montana the millions it has
stolen.

statement today says for Mr.. Heath that
the latter will not be a candidate for re-

the approaching meeting Of the national
committee in Washington in December is
for the purpose of selecting national Sec

date and place for holding the national
convention. The committee will not be re-
organized until the national convention
meets, which will be In June. I talked
with Perry s. Heath when he was here
Sunday I don't think he has any intention
of resigning and he won't be ousted.
He will not accept reelection as Secre-
tary owing to business interests. His serv-
Ices to the committee have been purely
gratuitous Further, there is not the re-
motest chance of rivalry between Mr.. Heath
and Committeeman New over the secretary

RI0TING AT BILBAO
SIX PERSONS KILLED AND 100
HURT YESTERDAY.
Strikers Continue to Erect Barricades
as Fast as Troops Tear
Them Down.

BILBAO, Spain. October 29-The garri-
soE of Bilbao has been reinforced, but the
troops still have difficulty in coping with
the rioting strikers, who constantly erect
new barricades as the old ones are torn
down by the soldiers. The city presents a
sorry spectacle owing to the widespread
destruction wrought by the mobs. The
rioters used dynamite in several Instances
to blow in the doors of the Jesuits' houses
and to destroy the railroad tracks, with the
object of preventing trains from entering
Bilbao. Famine prices are already being
charged for provisions. Even bread is so
scarce that loaves are selling at pesetas
(about IS cents) apiece.
Six persons were killed and a hundred IN
jured during yesterdays conflicts Hun
from the city.
The railroad employees now threaten to
join the strikers.
Acting under orders from Madrid the
governor of Bilbao has summoned the mine
owners to conference.
Socialist Proclamation,
The socialist committee has issued a
proclamation urging the workmen to avoid
conflicts with the soldiers and alleging
that the employers desire nothing better
than to see the strikers exhaust them
selves in fighting the troops

Among the exciting incidents yesterday
was the action of party of rioters, who
stormed a house. took possession of it,
fortified the building and held it for a long
time against the troops before the rioters
were ultimately dislodged.

with an infantry regiment. two squadrons
Of cavalry and battery of artillery.
Minor strike riots are reported to have
occurred in neighboring villages. Strikers

PUBLIC LAND FRAUDS
SECRETARY HITCHCOCK PREDICTS
MORE INDICTMENTS.
Thinks That the Indications Show
That the Investigation is a
Thorough One.

Secretary Hitchcock today received tel
egram from Portland. Ore. announcing the
Indictment Of three more persons in con-
nection with the public land frauds in that
state The telegram gave the names of the
persons indicted as Emma L. Watson, Guy
Huff and Norman Williams. The woman
is charged with conspiracy in connection
with the proceedings against Miss Ware.
the commissioner of the United States dis
trict court for Oregon. who is already under
Indictment: and Williams is charged with
forgery in connection with the NeSbitt case.
The proceeding against Huff is for forgery,
but is an independent case.
Upon being asked If he had anything to
say apropos of the indictments Secretary
Hitchcock replied: Nothing, except that
seven indictments within a week, and there
will still be many more. Our success to
the present time indicates pretty clearly,
l think, that our Investigations have been
quite thoroughly conducted
So far. most of the prosecutions have
been directed against those engaged in
fraudulent proceedings under the timber
and stone act and it now appears that
covered in that connection. Innumerable
instances of the invasion of public land
regions by people in large companies have
been reported to the department from day
to day for the past year and more.
In many instances people have gone to
the Pacific coast states from the states
farther east to enter lands under the tim
ber and stone law. The arrival of car
loads at a time have been reported, and
many of the members of these parties were
women.
In one or two cases during the vacation
period Of last summer entire carloads of
female school teachers from the middle
western states made tours to the coast, and
all located lands. In other instances en-
tire families of four or five persons each
have come in from the outside and have
made entry of lands. So far as known no
evidence Of fraud has been discovered in
these specific cases, but the officials of the
department contend that in view of the fact
that over $40O is required to complete the
acquisition of title under the timber and
stone law. some of these entries are at least
suspicious.
In other cases entries have been made in
the names of purely fictitious persons. The
connivance Of officials is necessary in pro-
ceedings of this character. and this line of
Eases lend most easily to discovery and
prosecution.
1t also appears that the frauds extend
eastward from coast states into Idaho,

FRAUD ORDER ISSUED.
Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty and
Pension Association.

A fraud order was today issued against
a Washington concern operated by negroes
and known as the Ex-Slave Mutual Relief,
Bounty and Pension Association of the
United States, the officers of which are
said to be I. H. Dickerson, treasurer; T.
Starr Murfree, secretary. and r. e. Gil.
christ, financial secretary.
It seems that the pensioning of former
slaves is the principal feature Of the as
ISOLATION, this being an old scheme to
wheedle the elusive dollar from the un-
suspecting negroes Various other bene-
fits are promised by the operators Of the
plan, among them being the burial Of men,
bers. The inspectors for the post Office
assert that the contributions are retained
by the operators without benefit to any
of the persons who have sent money for
membership or other purposes. Fraud or
ders have therefore been issued against
the association and all OF the officers.
