procession passing through the streets

HIS POLITICAL POSITION.

In accepting the nomination for
Congress. to which he was elected
by the largest majority ever cast
for a Congressional Candidate in
that district, Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst said:
Il believe that of eighty millions
of people in this country, five or
six millions (the most prosperous
five or six million) are ably repre-
scented in Congress. in the law
courts and in the newspapers. 1t
would be immodest on my part to
imagine that | could add much to
the comfort or prosperity of the
few who are so thoroughly well
looked after. Ny ambition is to
forward the interests of the sew
enty millions or more of typical
Americans who are not so well
looked after. Their needs seem
TO offer wider field for useful ef-
fort. At the same time let me say
that | do not seek to divide the

Nothing is so important to the

CONFERENCE OF COLORED
CITIZENS.

An Industrial and Educational Con-
ference was held by the colored citi-
zens of Charles and adjacent counties,
at ST. Phillips church, Port Tobacco,
Wednesday and Thursday the 10Th and
goth inst. Despite very inclement
weather, the Conference was attended
by large numbers of people. The Con-
ference was opened with an inspiring
service, followed by very interesting
address by General Wilmer, of Charles
county, on the subject, "Does the
strict enforcement of law lesson
crime
In the evening, the Rev. Father
Smith, of ST. Monoca's Chaple, Wash
ington, D. c., preached very instruc-
tive sermon from John iii So. The
subject of farming was opened by Rev.
]. G. Bryant, Of Charlotte. Md, and
was followed by a general discussion.
Many points of interest was brought
out, in regard to the best method of
farming.
The people assembled again in large
numbers on Thursday. The Confer
ence opened by an address by Rev.
Father Smith, on the subject of ''Relig-
ious education" followed by Rev.
Bryant, on 'tThe Colored Schools in
~nral districts" Both addresses were
warmly discussed by members Of the
Conference. 1t was learned from the
discussion that there exists much dis
satisfaction with the colored public
scLco;s; especially Of Charles conn
tv.
The presence of the Rev. Mr.. Poin-
leXter, who has labored faithfully for
many years in this locality, was great
~ appreciated, as were also his words
# commendation and encoura cement.
n the evening, three intensely inter
asting papers were read by young
misses of the Parish school. The re-
ceived close attention. The value of
these conferences is seen from the fact
that many farms have been purchased,
by the people of this vicinity, who
receive their stimulus from addresses
given by the several speakers.

under the caption THE Colored Man
in Business" | Gull the following from
the editorial page of The Colored
American, under date of the 22d OF
August: 1--WE are grieved to observe
how few of our people are engaged
in business ventures of any character
What is the explanation" ETC., etc.
You certainly have my heartfelt
sympathy in your grief over the
coIored mans failure to venture into
business. But don't allow these lit
tie things to drive you to despair, nor
to cause you to commit suicide; Tor
the colored man will never venture
very far into business until he is as
sured of the patronage of his own
race.
AS long as the colored people will
continue to pass by the business places
of their own race, to patronlZe the
white man, who don't care to wait
on them at his place of business, just
SO long will you have to pour out your
vial of grief in behalf of the colored
brother who dare not now venture
too far into business in opposition
to the white man.
The thing that we all should De
"grieved about is, why so few OF the
colored people "patronize' their own
own race. Get our people aroused
along that line and it will only be
a question of very short time Wheh
we will make ourselves felt IN the
business world Much of this work
oould be accomplished through the col
ored ministers right here in Wash
ington. Here we have nlee snoe
store-the Capital Shoe Company
gotten I'D by a few of our energetic
young men, who saw the need OF such
an enterprise among our people.
ucSe young IlSh uOoOA W. SO
age of every colored man, woman ana
child in Washington. If our people
would only rush to the colored snoe
store instead of forcing themselves TO
Hahn's, Goldenburg's, and the other
shoe stores, where they are not want
ed, these young men would soon be
able to hire a great many of the young
people who are educated and are capa-
BILE of being clerks, bookkeepers, etc.
Only a few weeks ago there ap-
peared an advertisements in one of the
CITY papers that lady clerk was want
ed at S. Kann, Sons & Co. young
colored lady whose skin is almost as
fair as any of the white lady clerks
in Kann's store, answered the adVer-
tisement. She was given a place as
clerk. But, alas! it leaked out that
she was a colored girl-and, notw1th-

drive the colored people of Washing
ton to venture into business of their
own, and to induce the colored people
to spend their thousands of dollars
with their own race instead of fore
ing themselves on these despised Jews?
II there ever was a race of people who
should be against the persecution of
mankind, it ought to be the Jew. Let
us start now, to give our patronage
to the colored men and women who
have ventured into business, and it
will be a question of a very short
time ere we will have cause to dis
continue SO much of our unnecessary
grief along that line.
As l remarked some time ago, the
Negro is a giant asleep. Let us wake
up and start" something. Why not
the men here, who have some money,
open uD a store of dry goods, shoes,
notions, ETC., and then call something
ike business mass meeting" and
tell the people just how the cOlOred
people are being Disseminated against
by the opposite race, and urge them
patronize and help build up the
business enterprises of their own race.
Say what you may, but a mass meet
ing" of this kind would arouse the
people and the tide will turn when a
rue picture of the situation shall have
been presented to them.
The cofored ministers would be
power for good, if they would give
heir influence by urging, from the
pulpit, the necessity of building MP
ourselves in the business world-and
hat this can only be done by patron
izing the enterprises carried on by our
colored men and women.
We call upon such ministers as Rev.
w. ]. Howard, George W. Lee, S. L.
Corrothers, R. S. Rives, Walter H.
Brooks, and others, to throw open the
1oors OF their churches for the pur-
pose of holding meetings to arouse
the people to action. Our people can
very easily be aroused in building new
churches and running excursions all
the summer, and living on charity all
the winter-and why can't they be
aroused in patronizing race enterpris-
es? 1t can be done. Leaders who
don't lead are no leaders at all. We
have leaders who will sell us political
ly. Where, o, where are the ledaers
who are ready and willing to redeem
us in the great field (Which is full
ripe) of business?
If such men as Messrs. P B. S.
Pfnchback, George H. White, John c.
Dancy, John P. Green, Judson w. Ly-
ons, and others, would just come to-
5ether and lay in a ctOck of goods,
md then call just such a meeting as
[ have referred to, and get all of the
ministers to keep the subject before
their people, we will sson find employ
ment for the colored girl who was
recently dismissed by S. Kann, Sons
Co. because of her color, and num-
bers of others.
The above-named gentlemen are
srea great takers. But, gentlemen,
much talk without work availeth moth
ing. You have sons and daughters
who are being educated for business.
