No lawful canse for the removal has
been disclosed, and in our opinion none
ever existed. nor any reasonable pre-
text. But IL there had been lawful
cause. the attempt Of the governor to
summarily remove the commissioner
and to APPOINT another in his stead, with
out first giving him notice of any
charges against him, or an opportunity
TO be heard in his defense, was without
effect and void. as held by the supreme
cont in the receut case of Board Of I'm
provement Morrilton Waterworks Dis
trict against Earl.
We therefore conclude that the action
Of the governor in the premises was ar
bitrary. irregular, unwarranted by the
facts. and without authority Of law
and that Hon. j. P. Eagle is still in
law aud In fact member Of the board

Remarkable Utterance on Negro Cues.

New York dispatch Of February It'll :
At the anniversary Of the founding Of
the Union League club forty years ago.
Secretary Elihu Root Of the department
Of war made speech which will be
memorable in the club. After thanking
the founders Of the club, fifteen of
whom were present, for the work they
had done. he turned TO national affairs
He said that the plan for uplifting the
negro-that Of giving him the suffrage
had proved by recent events to be II
failure, and that the work must be
started all over again on different
plan. Those who heard Mr.. Root lis
tened with that attention which does not
permit even Of applause until his speech
was ended. Then they applauded him
and as he left the room they arose and
cheered him again. The last words he
left with them were that the club
would solve the new problems MS it
had solved the old

From the New York Advertiser
Several years ago the large bicycle
companies OF the United States formed
a combinations trust-and all the
leading cycle companies were brought
under one management.
One OF the first apparent results was
the cessation Of the large individual
advertising campaigns which marked
the progress OF the individual compan-
les, The trust used very little adver.

Sometime ago this great concern, the
American Bicycle company, went into
the hands OF a receiver,

advertiser In the cycle field, and whose
Columbia wheels were for years the

4 Specimen Negro Leader.


From the Washington ID. c. Post
The Incorporate hsrangue Of the ne
gro lawyer. Hayes. last Monday night,
will cause neither establishment nor
alarm. Richmond is quite able to take
care of any sword and torch regime that
he may undertake to set up In that city.
and the same may be safely said Of Vir
ginia at large. 1t is Of course, possible,
though not at all probable, that distur-
Dances here and there may occur,
not only in Virginia, but in other
Southern states. These, however, will
be the result Of recent appeals to the
vanity and credulity of the half-educsted
and pretentious negro. They will not
be due to any folly or malignity on the
part of the race at large. In any event,
the punishment will fall upon the dupes
Of the impudent and vicious incendiaries
who stir up passion and invoke violence
from safe distance-never upon the
incendiaries themselves. We have al
ways wondered why discontinued negro
leaders like Lawyer Hayes and Editor
This and Bishop That persist in clinging
to neighborhoods and ATTITUDES where
their virtues and accomplishments are
not appreciated. The whole country
north Of the Potomac-is open to them,
yet they obstinstely adhere to an enyi-
ronment which they denounce az brutal
and tyrannicsl. Why do they do thisY
What is their idea in perpetuating an
arrangement which so cramps their
development and wounds their
sensibilties2 The white people do not
want them. Nine-tenths Of the colored
people would benefit by their departure.
Why do they not migrate to New Eng
| land, or Kansas or Indiana, where anx
ious thousands await their advent and
will hail with gratitude their civllizing
and exalting inhueuceH Lawyer Hayes
talks volubly about fire and sword and
devastating conflict, and all the rest of it,
He talksin purely Pickwickian sense,
however There ism money enough in
New York City to bride him to lead an
uprising and head charge upon the
hated whites, Lawyer Hayes, in the
secure asylum Of Washington church,
is merely shooting off his mouth,
az they say in the south OF France, He
doesn t want bloodshed if he has to fur
nish any OF the blood He hash t the
faintest idea Of falling upon any white
man and smiling him hip and thigh
He is merely talking through his hat.
The trouble with the negroes-as u race
ia that while they have an instinct Of
kindness, an imperturbsble patience
and amiabiity a simple and serene
spirit Of contentment, and IN incurable
thirst for peace and quiet. they are des-
titute OF the sense OF humor, Otherwise

Tuesday the senate committee on
public buildings and grounds submitted
majority and minority reports relating
to the removal of ex-Gov. j. P. Eagle
as member Of the state capitol COM
mission by Gov. Davis. The majority
report concludes that the action OF Gov
Davis was "arbitray, irregular. IN
warranted by the facts and without
authority OF law, and that Hon. j. P.
Eagle is still in law and in fact men,
Der Of the board of capitol commission.
ers. - The minority report contends
in substance that the act Of 1901 EN-.
powers the governor to remove the
capitol commissioners.
The following is the majority report:
Mr.. President-Your committee on
public buildings and grounds. to whom
WAS referred the special message Of the
governor relating to the removal Of Jas.
z. Eagle from the board Of state capitol
commissioners, respectfully report that
we have examined all the correspond.
ence between the governor and Hon. j.
P. Eagle on the subject and the execu-
tive order making the removal, and
have heard the sworn statements of
Hon. j z Eagle. And the undersigned,
constituting majority Of the commit
tee, find from the evidence that no notice
WAS ever given to Hon. j. P. Eagle Of
any charge against him setting forth
a cause for removal, and that in fact
no such charge WAS ever made by the
governor, nor by anyone else
In the executive order referred to,
addressed to Hon. j. p. Eagle, and de-
livered to him through the postofice on
the 10th Of April, 1902 the governor says
The specific ground upon which base
my action in exercising the authority
conferred upon the governor by law
to remove members Of the board of state
capitol commissioners is that you volun-
| tarily and Extensively assumed such an
attitude towards me, rs a permanent
member Of said board, as will make it
impossible for us, as members OF an i'm
portant commission, created to advance
a great public interest, to render that
efficient and faithful service that can
only come from the free, harmonious
and respectful consultation and action
| which the nature Of the service de-
| mands.
We find that there was never any
difference or disagreement between the
the governor and Hon. J p. Eagle on
any matter relating to the building OF
the state capitol or pertaining to the
official and public duties Of the commits
sion, but that their official relations
were harmonious, and that the order of
removal WAS made after the board had
determined that no progress could be
made on the capitol building until fur
ther action by the general assembly.
We conclude therefore that the alleged
latitude voluntarily and Extensively
assumed toward the governor has refer.
ence to the admitted fact that Hon. j.
P, Eagle refused to support him in his
candidacy for denomination before the
primaries Of his party, and that no other
reason for his removal was ever enter
trined 10y the governor,
by the terms Of the act creating the
board Of state capitol commissioners, a
member Of the board can be removed
by the governor only for cause, which
must be communicated TO the senate.

From the Richmond VA Times
The reports for the past year OF the
vice-regents for the twelve Confederate
states which have rooms in the museum
of the Confederate Memorial Literary So
ciety make an interesting showing Of the
progress of that institution where relics
of the great struggle are stored and pre-
served for the admiration and wonder
Of generations yet unborn.
The museum is one of the most inter
esting places in the city to visitors and
during the past year no less than seven
thousand four hundred and ffty-nine
visitors have placed their names upon
the register at the museum. OF this
number 3 1888 visited the institution on
Saturday, when the doors are open to
the public free OF charge. OF the total
number of visitors 3, III were foreigners
or from the North.
ARKANSAS ROOM.
With the many valuable relics sent
through the lsmented and beloved Miss
Fannie Scott of Van Buren,, Ark. who
was regent for Arkansas, and through
the aid and influence of Mrs. James
Sparks of Fort Smith, the room has
much in it that is interesting. The
latest contribution through Mrs.
Louise Miller Joblin, daughter OF
the late Governor VIM. R. Miller, is a
military coat worn by Major General
Patrick Cleburns. The removal OF
the Arkansas room to that now occupied
by the Louisiana room will enable the
addition Of another case of relics. and
the vice-regent. Mrs. Decatur Aztell
hopes soon to make 1t one of the most
attractive rooms in the museum.
