NEGROES ASK FOREIGN AID.

A dispatch from Cleveland, o., says
that three hundred thousand negroes
represented by the Equa! Rights Asso-
citation have appealed to the emperors
and kings of the Old World to aid them
in the United States.
The petitioners declare they are vic
tins of gross injustice and that all OF
them are likely to be murdered by the
whites of America. Intervention through
the representatives of the European and
Asiatic monarchs at Washington is re-
ouested to compel the United States to
grant the blacks the justice they assert
is denied them.
G. w. Hines, chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Equal Rights As
sociation, is the author of the appeal to
the Old World. He made public this
appeal at the headquarters of the asso-
citation in Cleveland. The views ex-
pressed are not his alone. They repre-
sent the sentiment of all the members Of
the association, for they were adopted at
a secret session of the association, Feb
ruary 9.
The right of the negroes TO appeal and
foreign governments to intervene is based
on the United States interference in be-
half of the Cubans.
"We, the Afro-Americans of the
United Ststes of America" says the
appeal, care brutally and barbarously
maltreated and basely compelled, for no
crime or misdemeanor, to suffer every
in1ignity, cruelty and murder that in
human, fiendish nature can invent, by
some of those who once held the Afro
Americans in bondage and slavery or
the descendants of those who once held
the Afro Americans in slavery and bond
age in the United States, and who still,
without cause, harbor in their hearts a
deadly hatred against the Afro-American
race"
The writers of the circular then allege
they cannot get justice in the courts and
that negroes are burned at the stake,
where pieces of flesh are cut from the
bodies and auctioned among the spec
tators.
The appeal concludes as follows:
'1n Gods name, will the King of
England will the Emperor of Germany,
will the Gar of Russia, will the Sultan
of Turkey, will the Shah of Persia, will
the Emperor of Austria, will the King
of Italy and the King of Greece, will the
President of Switzerland, will the King
of Portugal, will the President of France,
will the King of Sweden and will the
King of Siam, will the Emperor of China,
will the Emperor of or the Mikado of
Japan, will the rulers of Belgium, ROu
mania, Luxemburg, Montenegro and all
other foreign powers interfere in some
way in behalf of the suffering, outraged
and murdered Afro-American people Of
the United States and thus save the
name of Christianity from reprOach,
mockery and derision and the name of
humanity from shame, ridicuie and con-
tempt and civilization, with all of its
dear amenities, from disgrace, scorn and
ignominy2 For Gods sake intervene to
save us, the Afro-American men, women
and children, before we are all murdered

America. We plead, we beg you to

Other Side of the Kansas Boom.

According to late reports no more
help is needed in the Kansas wheat
fields. There is abundant labor to
take care of the crop. and the emer-
gency which was reported as existing
several weeks ago has passed. The
other side of the story is now being
told-tales of men who focked to
Kansas because of alluring offers of
nigh wages, but who were disappoint-
ed after reaching the grain fields and
not only did not find enough work, but
were Obliged to spend the little money
they had to get food and shelter The
college Students who rushed in are re-
ported to be in a sad plight, without
money and without work The stories
that are now coming from the Kansas
wheat fields are probably to some ex-
tent exaggerated, yet there is doubtless
an element of truth in them There is
little$ doubt that aIluring offers were
at one time made in order to get farm
hands Immediately. Nearly every
newspaper in the country commented
upon the statement that 10000 men
were needed in Kansas to harvest the
crop. All this sounds fine for Kan
sas and, is very effective advertising.
but the same zeal which prompts the
sending out of such reports should pro-
vide against an oversupply of men.
When the need is supplied, when there
IS no more work for an army of labor
ers, the fact should be as promptly.
as widely and as emphatically publish
ed throughout. the country as was the
statement that 10000 farm hands were
wanted in Kansas. There are always
two sides to a story. We are now
hearing the s""other side"-the side
which does not reflect as much credit
upon kansas.6the eside which is not all
sunshine and hope and bright. prom

WILL ADORE RELICS
OF ST. SERAPHIM
Gorgeous Rites of the Greek Church to
Be Witnessed by the Gar.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 3d. The
ceremonies at the monastery at Saroff
promise to be interesting. The relics
of ST. Seraphim will be exposed for
alteration after five days of religious
exercises. These relics have been in
stalled in solid silver .casket beneath
a silver baIadchin. The expense of the
installation was borne by the emperor
from his private purse, and his maj
esty testified his interest by writing
the following original note on the act
of canonization: Read with feeling
and genuine pleasure and deep emo
ton"
The monastery, which is the scene Of
the ceremonial, is a Woman's asylum
several miles from the village of Saroff
and forty miles from the nearest rail-
way station. The attendance includes
the imperial family and court, with
many officials and multitudes of pill
grims. Temporary barracks have been
erected to shelter the more favored
guests, but the great majority of the
pilgrims will sleep in stables or in the
open air.
The holy synod has issued a state
ment that it regards the appearance
of new miraculous interceSSion as a
renewal of heavens blessing upon the
government Of our most exalted mon
arch"
Most elaborate preparations have
been made for the celebration. All Of
the pomp and magnifcence of the
Eastern church, with its impressive
and elaborate ceremonies, its imposing
procession and it's solemn liturgies,
will be employed.
The hermit, Prakhor Moshnin, died
in 1888, at an advanced age. Belief in
his sanctity and miraculous interces-
sion with heaven seem to have been
widespread during his life and to have
grown steadily since his demise. An
inquiry was begun in 1892 into the al
legged miracles attributed to his relics
and satisfied the holy synod of their
verify. AS a result an act of canoniza-
ton under the name of st. Seraphim
was issued on Jan. 29, which date was
added to the orthodox calendar.

THE REVOLUTIONARY HABIT.

The expected has happened in Cuba and revolution

of bandits If have succeeded in imparting something
of the American spirit to proteges in the faithful

the revolution stamped out.
But it is to be doubted if the American occupation
of Cuba made much of impression the unruy spir

and pose patriots. The island has been given

tyranny need not be reckoned with They lived in a
of vagabondage and the end their warfare the
agents of Spain prompted much by patriotism
by love of trouble and the desire to live by aging
rather than by work.
These retain still the instincts developed by
their irresponsible lives Most of them have know-

backsder cancels his deal with Dowie he may take only
that which he put into the society
1t appears that the dupes who followed Dowe have
been profting at the expense of the prophet. He IS
something of financier is Dowie If he had taken
dealing in Wall street he would have Pierpont Morgan
Russell Sage and of the other big ones herded
down Peck Slip. He has fine faculty for bestng the
other fellow at bargain and he has made immense
amount of money using the capital of people to whom
he promised of glory and some pelf 1t must be
admitted that most of his followers have been inspired
because of the of glory That Dowe
has found to enormously increase the wealth OF
Zion is certain but there nothing in the bond that
compelled him to return to those who elected to with
draw from his community anything of the increment 1t
appears that he has done this in the past. The
quence is that many of his lambs through being sheared
have become familiar with the process and have turned
shearers They have been demanding their profits go
ing into the world to daily with the of unright
eousness-the which they had concealed about them in
wads-tey have reviled Dowe. Now Dowie says, Take
what you put and get OUT I'll pay interest" He
has taken business like view of the situation and there
will be no more falling from grace.

go at that He does reflect any credit on religion
as whole but he most excellent policeman and he
does the best he for his ollowersand sen he does
