FORTUNES PZAN

r. Thomas Fortune, President
Roosevelt's negro commissioner
to the Philippines, has not yet
made report of his impressions
in the islands, but he has spoken
enough on the subject to show
that he believes to have dis
covered an earthly paradise for
his race. He is of the opinion
that the negro and Filipino
would get along splendidly in a
social way, and that if permitted
to enjoy together the blessings
of free government everything
would be as merry as marriage
bell. Says the strenuous For
tune:
"The Filipinos are proud, indepe nsent
race, and have the right stuff in them. If you
step on Filipino's corn, he will pop you in
the jaw. That's how he's earned the re-
spect of the whites.
Fortune would evidently have
the negroes learn this very
simple method of winning the
respect of the white man. Thus
equipped, he goes on, the ne
gro and the Filipino would get
along very well socially" He
suggests, however, that in order
to carry out this scheme the
president should appoint the
right kind of governor for the
philippines. AS will be seen by
the following, Fortune has an

ROOSE TELZS REWARD

CnaunCey DepeW, une VOluOle
New York senator, has recently
treated the country to one of his
periodical interviews. He is
quoted as follows:
s.Mr. Depew said that Mr.. Roosevelt's
action with regard to the colored race had
been a marvellous political move on his part,
though the president took his firm stand for
no other reason than because it seemed &c
him the right thing to- do. 1t had been the
one thing that, more than any other, would
insure him the nomination and election
That he had antagonizel the South-the
white South-went without saving, but the
Southern voters would never vote for Mr..
Roosevelt, anyway, nor for any other Re
publican; antagonism in that quarter
meant nothing. In the North it had simply
caused every negro voter to practically
worship the president. and to rally with the
Republicans in the coming contest. The
negro woes in New York State alone, he
pointed out, amount to $4,000
It will not be gainsaid that
President Roosevelt has, by his
Infamous negro policy, cinched
the entire negro vote of the
United States without inju-
riously affecting his popularity
with the white Republicans, but
in bringing about this condition
he has caused the ill-feeling be-
tween the races in the North
and South which has already re-
suited in a number of race riots.
When President Mckinley was
assassinated the white and black
races were at peace with each
other. President Mckinley had
always tried to promote the most
harmonious relations among the
white and colored people and
his efforts in that direction
were appreciated by the South
as was shown at his death by the
most sincere manifestations of
esteem and regret. When the
Rough Rider became president
he set at once to destroy the
good effects of his predecessor
wise and humane policy, and as
it is easy to tear down it re-
quired only a short time to undo
President McKinley's work. It'll
can not be successfully disputed
that Roosevelt's quixotic treat
ment of a grave problem has
stirred race hatred to danger
GUS pitch in the North and
South. The man is no fool and |
he knew what was going to hap
pen if he attempted to carry out
his insane policy of social and
political equality. but there is
more of the broncho- buster than
he statesman in his makeup.
He would rather have hell of his
,wn making than peace wrought
~ other hands. He did his
work with the skill of an artist
md if he did not paint hell in the
most lurid colors the dispatches
rom Wilmington and Evansville
re untrue. But slip was made
1 carrying out the program.
he Idevil broke loose in the
forth though the scene of di-
aster was to be laid in the South.
low we are coolly informed by S
ne New York Senator that for
i this the Rough Rider will be T.
ewarded with solid negro j
tie and a reelection to the
residency. F

LANSE LABUTTlc
New Discoveries Create New
Interest in the Field.

Crowley Signal.
The recent new discoveries in
the Anse Labutte oil field have
caused much good feeling among
local oil men, as Crowley capital
was invested heavily in that
quarter soon after the strike at
Beaumont. A great portion of
this field was bought outright
while even more was secured on
extended leases.
Several companies of late have
struck good wells at 400 and
500 feet, and instead of boring
deeper with a hope of bringing
in a gushing well, they have
been content to operate them at
that depth, securing from so to
400 barrels of oil per day.
A party of Crowley capitalists,
who are largely interested in
Anse Labutte expect to make
trip to Breaux Bridge some
time this week for the purpose
of closing arrangements for a
well to be sunk on their holding
Northen capital is said to have
been ATTRACTED to this great |
oil field and boom
n lands during the next month
to surpass that which }
Sour Lake, Saratoga and other
Texas cities are now undergoing.

1t seems that the North has
made up its mind to take a hand
in the work if any negro-lynch-
ing is to take place. And it
must be conceded that as novices
in the business our Northern
friends are doing admira bly,
we'll. They can give to their
Southern cousins spades and
trumps and beat them at their
own game.

On the fourth of July one year
ago Lafayette celebrated the
republics birthday in a most be-
coming manner. One of the
best speakers in the State,
former Senator Don Gallery,
made a memorable speech which
for loftlness of sentiment, pa
triotic fervor and elegance of
dlctiOn is not easily surpassed
The speech was splendid ex-
preston of the best thought and
the highest sense of civic
virtue in the community. 1t
was clearly evident tnat Lafa-
yette was not lacking in that
spirit which impells one to COM
memorate the nations natal day.
But how different it was on the
Fourth of July which has just
passed. Nothing was done to
show that this com munity re-
mem bers the greatest day in
American history. With the ex-
ception of very meagre display
of bunting the anniversary of
American independence was
allowed to pass unnoticed. The
usual ceremonies of Fourth of
July celebration may seem
meaningless to those who are
possessed of the materialism of
the times and the words of the
Of independence
may sound little bit trite, but
1T will be a dis small day for our
free institutions when the ami
versary of that glorious event
will fail to arouse in the hearts
Of American citizens emotions Of
civic fidelity. It will be an un-
failing sign that the spirit Of '76,
which made this country great
and the title of American citizen
admired and respected through
outthe world, is dying in the land

1idness Of an age that worships

Not only is Sheriff Ike the most famous

That Fairbanks isthe coming metro polis of the Alasdan interior and that the mining district of which it is the center is the coming great gold produc- ing region of an the north country is the firm conviction Of Capt. K. T Barnettee, father of the city of Fair banks and pioneer of the new mining camp. He says the country is very rich and that there is ground for every body who may go to claim in. Capt. Barnette has spent two seasons in the Tanana,
 Capt. Barnette, accompanied by his wife and F. C. Deane and Carl NJ. Johanson, all as enthusiastic as himself arrived last night on the train direct from Fairbanks which place the party left March 22. The party is at the Fifth Avenue hotel and speaking of the Panama and Fairbanks last night, Capt. Barnette said:
 "There is no question about the rich ness of the new diggings on the Panama and the only question as to the extent of the country is us to how great. For miles on Pedro, Gold stream, Cleary and Fish creeks the country is known to be rich in coarse gold. The area that has been prospecJod and found rich is great and is growing greater as more prospecting is being done.
 "There are only a few claims that are working on anything like a large scale, but the prospecting that is going on is quite extensive.
 "The diggings on the different creeks will average from five 10 eight feet deep and there are immense beds Of pay gravel. The richest pan reported to date was s237 and the ground runs from that down, but always in paying quantities.
 "The ground con be worked in winter or summer, and there is little trouble from water but there is always enough water for working purposes,
 While most of the creeks enumer- ated are staked, there is any quantity of ground not staked and plenty of room for many times the population that is now in the country.

Skagway is to have better streets The city council voted last night 10 expend at least $500 for the improve ment of Broadway and State streets and Third. Fourth and Fifth avenues. The money will be spent under the di- rection of the street committee, and all the holes will be filled with gravel and the streets made level and dry. It was decided not to attempt to bring the streets up to the grade. The action of the council was taken after it was as- certained that there was more than 5000 in the treasury and that there would be more money paid in before the termination of the present council.
 The health and police committee was directed to abate a nuisance existing at the corner of Ninth avenue and State street A collection Of rubbish has been left at that place which it was de- cidcd was a menace to health.

 "There were 2i3 buildings under con struction at Fairbanks when l left and more wore contemplated. The popula- tion is about SOO."
 Capt. Barnette is the owner of the river steamer Isabel, which he built for the purpose Of supplying his stores on the Panama. The Isabel will carry loo tons of freight. Capt. Barnette will select a stock of goods and take them down the river on the first bunch of boats going down from Lower La- Barge. He will follow the icejam to the mouth Of the Panama, from which point he will go up the river 3jO miles to Fairbanks, when he will again be ready for business.
 Capt. Barnette is heavily interested in mines on an the creeks.
 E. C. Deane, formerly 'in charge of the N. A. r. &. r. Co. at St. Michael, just came from the Panama and will take into Fairbanks with him a large quantity Of mining machinery. He will not return to St. Michael, but will confne his attention to the new Tan ana strike.
 Carl NJ. Johansen, United States com missioner from Eagle, is also in the party, and he k en route to the South for the purpose Of purchasing saw mill for the country. He is confident that he has struck the great country.
 This party of hardy men was accom- panied an the way from the new city of Fairbanks by Mrs. Barnette, a beauti- ful little woman, who has stood the trip admirably und who seems as resolute and confident as Co the future as her successful husband.
 Ths new strike on the Panama is near the foot of Butes rapids. 3jO miles from the mouth of the river and 2jO miles down the stream from Lake Mansfield.

 The council took no action on the matter Of a special election to fll the office of municipal judge, as has been urged by some citizens.
