Waterbury Democrat., 1903-01-09

Governor Boutwell, was the principal speaker at Boston New Years day, when the fortieth anniversary of the colored mans release from bondage was celebrated. The speaker played a conspicuous part, says an exchange, in the events which led up to the emanci- patton of the black man. "In his early manhood he left the democratic party because, dominated by the southern slave lords, it had abandoned demo- cratic principles. In his old age he has severed his connection with the repub- lican party, of which he was one of the founders, because, under the inf1u- ence of imperialism, it has discarded the ideal to which it was once loyal. In his address to the negroes assembled in Faneuil hall on New Years day he strongly advised them to do as he has done and break away from a political organization which has ceased to be worthy of support on account of it's adoption of a policy which is at one and the same time un-republican and un-American. Ex-Governor Boutwell, reminded his colored audience that they would serve their own interests best by refusing to promote the cause of imperialism by supporting the republi- can party, which is responsible for the tyrannical rule under which seven mill lion Filipinos live at the present mo- ment. A population twice as large as that which inhabited the thirteen American colonies when they threw off England's yoke are deprived of rights which are secured to every American citizen by the constitution of the United States. In the Philippines, as ex-Gov- ernor Boutwell, pointed out in his Fan euil hall speech. the right of trial by jury does not exist. A person who has been improperly or unjustly imprisoned cannot, find relief in writ of habeas corpus. None of the safeguards the constitution of the United States throws round the humblest American citizen exist in the Pacific islands we have seized with the strong hand. In fact, in the first section of the act for the government of the Philippine Islands it is expressly provided that the constitution shall not apply to the islands"

JAPANESE FORESIGHT.
Three Thousand Yen Tnvested for . Period of 25O Years to Proc
 duce 1,2Os,411,T70.

The Dai-ichi Cingo in 1900 re- ceived a deposit of 5000 yen which will remain fixed for 250 years, from MT. Goichi Abe, dealer in coal and coke, at Minami. Shimboricho Mi ehome, Kyobashi-ku, Tokyo. The bank has contracted to pay the sum of 1,2os,411, ,179 yen at the end of 250 years, dating from 1900 inclusive, re- ports the Tokio (Japan) Times. The father of the depositor was 'risha- man, and he himself was ali iceboy some 20 years ago. Then his mother was seriously ill, and three days be- fore her death she said that she would like to eat soba, which is . cheap dish, but a luxury for the poor. He, then only eight years old, pur. and was carrying it home when he was encountered by his father. He and his mother were then scolded for their luxuriousness. His mother died and he was employed as an err rand boy for the next six years by 12 different masters. Meanwhile the father and son did not know of each others whereabouts. It was only by accident that the son read in a newspaper that his father, who was named Ki-ichi Abe, was employed by MT. Soichiro Asano. The son searched for his father, and was able to find him out again. After this the son was given a place in Mir. Asano's establishment. Lately the father lost 8 ship (he had become rich enough to own a ship) in a storm. The ship had been insured for 5000 yen. The fact of the insur- ance was unknown to him, for the policy-holder was the son. But the father and son settled between them selves that the money should be de- posted on behalf of their posterity, and hence the long term contract.

Danger in Love Letsers.

"Love-letters should be avoided, '' says "Hon. Doc" Brown, of the Kentucky legislature. "Never make love to woman out of an ink-bot- tle," he advised in recent political speech. ''Why, when courted my wife. just grabbed hold of her and said: 'Sallie. you are the sweetest thing on earth, and your beauty baffies the skill of man and subdues his ferocious nature,' and I got her."
