WHAT SHALL WE Do?

The Dallas Express is responsible Tor
the following chunk of editorial wis
dom in a recent issue. We cannot i'm
prove upon it and quote it verbatim.
"Whitecaps have posted notices at
Beaumont, Texas, warning the oil re-
finers that they must not employ col
ored men. If the colored men who are
now employed should have refused to
work in these same reineries, prefer
ing to become Ioafers, these same
whitecaps would have warned them to
leave town or submit to arrest as vags.
If these same labOrers were on farms
of their own or tenants on the farms OF
others, these same whitecapS would
consider it proper to interfere with
them and order them to leave on pain
of death. The Negro has tried appeal
ing to the officers in these whitcap af-
fairs, but as a rule they get no relief.
They have made themselves responsive
TO those poetic lines which say:
He who fights and runs away
Lives to fight another day."
and the result has not been reassur1ng.
The whitecap presents a problem
which the prescribed labCrer cannot
solve alone. He must have at his back,
not only the lax and lame arm Of the
law, but the better element of white
people must take a hand in silencing
these whitecap creatures If this is not
done, then the end Is not yet.

In a recent issue We alluded with
regret TO the report emanating from
Philadelphia sources. that Hon. John
s. Durham had concluded TO abandon
citizenship in this country for what
he believed the larger opportunity af-
fOrded by a life in Cuba We now
learn with much pleasure that the re-
port is not we'll founded and that Mr..
Durham will not eXpatriate himself.
The race is 10 be congratulated upon
his decision as we can i'll afford TO lose

We wonder if the Treasury officials
are in a conspiracy with old Cyclops
Tillman to make DR.. Crum'S position
uncomfortable. Here they have found
a musty old law fOrbiding the pay
ment of the Doctors personal account
as Collector of the Port of Charleston
1t is most remarkable. There have
been many analogous cases of ad in.
Lerim appOintmentS-that of James c..
Matthews. of Albany. \. Y. as Record
er Of Deeds, IS in point and no attempt
at a Treasury hold-up is of record.
Such a law should not be invoked. 1t
probably could not stand the test of
judicial Interpretation. It is a palpa-
BILE interference with the constitutional
prerOgative of the President One COM
fort Is however. that Collector Crum
can wait the pleasure of the Govern
ment without concern as to his meals.
1t Is coming to be seen that the de
cisiCn of the Supreme Court in the
Giles case from Alabama. clears the
way for the Crumpacker legislation.
The prospect of favorable action is
brighter now than at any previous

Hon. Richard T. Greener, U. S. Con-

interesting personal letter to the editor
of this paper. Mr.. Greener is one of
the first cOlored graduates to carry of
hOnOrS at the Eastern University,

a trusted leader of his race since his
graduation. His letter tells of the Man
churian affairs, and incidentally the
name of Theodore Roosevelt as the Re
publican standard bearer in 1904. He
appeals to the leaders of the race in
the United States. to stand by this fear

POLICY IN CHICAGO.

Rev Reverdy c. Ransom, pastor of
the Institutional Colored Church, of
Chicago. preached a sermon of such
power and effectiveness on Sunday. the
3rd inst, against the iniquitOus policy
shops that on the same night some
miscreants attempted to blow up the
church building with dynamite, doing
great damage tC the edifice. This out
rage did not daunt the intrepid Mr..
Ransom but rather served to call great
er public attention to his crusade. and
in the short time since it is estimated
that 80 branch policy shops have clos
ed their doors and the city authorities
have awakened TO their duty. Chicago
papers warmly commend DR.. Ransom's s
action and are strongly supporting him.
1t is said that the daily receipts of the
policy syndicate are in excess Of TWEEN
ty-eight thousand dollars, and that
after all expenses and winnings are
paid there Is net profit to them of
S11 400 per day. Ninety-five per cent
of their receipts come from the earn
ings of colOred people and saddest of
all from the pennies of cOlCred school
children. Following the doctors lead,
other churches are taking up the fight
and the combination OF church and
police will no doubt drive the whole
iniquity out into Lake Michigan.

MOST COSTLY BOOK.
official Record of the Civil War Cost

Million Dollars.

The most costly book ever published
was the Official Record of the War of
the Rebellion" by order of congress,
says the Chicago Record-Herald 1t
consists Of 100 volumes, averaging about
1000 pages each, with about 1000 illus
Lrations, and an atlas containing 178
maps. There were printed 1855 sets,
Or total of ,541 493 books, which were
distributed throughout the country by
members of congress. Something over
1900 sets, by resolution of congress,
were deposited in public libraries and
the libraries of great educational insti-
buttons.
The total cost of the publication was
s2,85S ,51467, of which 81, 265 1895. 68 was
paid for salaries, STATS, 447.49 for print
ing and binding, and $113, III so for mis-
,ellaneous expenses. This does not in
dude the salaries of officers of the army
who were engaged from time to time
in the work.
A similar set of books is now being
published by the navy department COW
.ring all the naval operations of the
war. 1t will not be 50 voluminous as
that covering the military operations,
out is likely to fill Is or 80 volumes.
This is, however, by no means the
argest book in the world The British,
German. French and Italian govern
nents and several private pub
ication houses have issued series of
volumes of greater number, but they
lid not all refer to the same subject. as

for. At the Royal Military academy at

of the same caliber as Uncle Sam does
at West Point. Ii the cadets have the
stuff of which soldiers are made in

Another weakness of the British SOL
der of the regular establishment is his
low mental standing. Gen Kelly
Kenny. in speaking of this few days
ago, said: He is not up to the physi-
cal or mental qualifications OF the gen.

was when the recruiting was from the
better class of artisans and laborers, a
class which have in the past made
England's best soldiers, and from
which many of her best officers have
