reliably informed that since the failure
of the Capital Savings Bank, a number

patronage from colored men in busi-

legal profession. Such a course is
neither wise nor right. If a white

the business goes on. under new aus

WASHINGTON AND HIS CRITICS.

Whatever may be said of the wisdom
of the action of the friends of DR..
Booker T. Washington in engaging in
battle with the opponents of the
Wizard" their courage and their
loyalty are to be commended in the
highest terms. The enemies of DR..
Washington while few in number. have
been indulging in such VoclferOus de-
clamation and fiamboyant oratory as
to cause some of the uninfOrmed to
believe that a terrible storm was brew
ing against the man and his work. The
meetings held here recently have
served a useful purpose despite the
fact that an opportunity has been given
for hot air" specialists to further mis-
represent the cause of Industrial edu-
cation and to vent their spleen upon
one who has been successful along the
lines essential to solid race progress.
These meetings have aroused the pas
sive friends of DR.. Washington, and
shown them that an inSidiouS false
hood unchallenged and uncorrected
may pass for the truth, and confuse
the popular mind as to the value OF
work that should really need no de-
Tense. Almost invariably, the sup
porters of DR.. Washington are men of
character and substance They en-
body the cream of the business, pro
feSs1onal and social classes of every
community. Frequently these people
are too deeply engrossed in their per
sonal affairs to attend gatherings where
DR.. Washington's philosophy is called
into question, while the misguided op-
position is sure to be on hand, armed
cap-a-p1e, eager and ready for an af-
fray into which Dublic-Spirited men
and women shrink from entrance 1t
is no less a fact that the friends of
DR.. Washington have little time for the
cultivation of the gifts of oratory or
disputation and the vOluble do
nothings, after frothing at the mouth
throughout the evening, go off and
write up the occasion in a preiudiced
newspaper as a victory over the teach
lngs of the Tuskegee educator The
two meetings, Cne At the Second Bap-
tist Lyceum. and before Bethel Literary
and Historical Association, were in

1nSIOn, and pointed out the true worth
of his propaganda and its beneficial
effect upon the future of the race
Petty charges relative to his position
on jim crow cars and southern consti-
tutions were riddled, and from his own
language and tangible results, the
value of his work IN developing char
acter, material holdings. practical quail
ificatiOn for the duties of life, and his
sympathy with the highest aspirations
of his people were faithfully brought
out.
Beyond the little coterie of fanatics,
dreamers and illusionists in and about
Boston, we do not take it that there
is any considerable antagonism to Dr..
Washington. The venom behind the
Boston Guardians opposition is entire
ly neutralIZed by the brutality of the
assaults upon him and his family, and
now that the cloven-hoof has been
shown to the country, the puerile
charges of William Monroe TrOtter,
George Washington Forbes, William
H. Ferris and the rest of the crowd,
are taken as a matter Of course and
with a whole handful of salt There
is no principle underlying the Guar
dams attitude and the natural instinct
of our people for, fair play, reVoltS
against such q display of Grass mean
ness. The Guardian will go the way of
all the earth when TrOtter spends as
much money as he can afford to throw
away On q FOOLS errand, and realizes
that the sober, cOmmOn-Sense of the
country is against him and his con-
federates. The paper is printed in a
white office, and is in no sense a
Negro enterprise, beyond supplying a
new channel for our accumulatiOns of
money to flow into a white mans
pocket, while performing the diSrepu-
table work Of trying to pull down a
powerful man of our own.
AS for Prof" Ferris, who has raised
something of a stir here for a season,
his personality does not enter the equa-
ton. He is only putty in the hands of
his masters, and has failed to impress
our city with aught else save his in
competency to deal broadly with
question of logic and philosophy, and
has simply wearled the patience of
friendly-disposed persons who regret
to see a young man of some promise,
frittering away in useless strife, talent
that should be more wCrthily employ
ed.

LET US REASON.

Our able contemporary, The South
western Christian Advocate, New Or
leans, in its last issue, contains time
ly and pertinent editorial under the
caption, '1ncendiary Utterances Should
Not Be Made By Either Race"
After quoting certain utterances al
legged to have been made by Lawyer
Hayes, of Richmond, at public meet
ing in Washington recently; the Ad-
vocate in the course of It's remarks
says:
"These utterances by Mr.. Hayes have
called forth some extremely fierce de-
nunciationS from certain Southern
papers. They condemn what he is ac-
credited with, saying saying, which Is
to be expected; but their replies are
for the most part as wild and bitter
as are his words. 1t all reminds us or
an incident which occurred in the
bittsrest Of the respectable southern
dailies published in this city. 1t not
only let's no opportunity pass to be-
labor the Negro and present him to
its readers as a despiseG and hopeless
being, but seems to make opportunities
for such.
"As for Mr.. Hayes remarks, we do
not approve them. We do not approve
them coming from him any more than
we do when statements Of similar
character are made by white men We
do not sympathiZe with his view, but
we do sympathize with the man"
So say we all. While Mr.. Hayes is
being abused by white people and
press, and black people and press, 1T
is nevertheless true that he has not
said one-tenth of what the white editors
and orators say in the South every
day. which does tWenty-fOld as much
to stir up friction and bad blood be-
tween the races.
1t is time the white papers in the
South advise moderation among south
erners, in order that they may cease
to furnish so many examples of hot
blooded utterances for colCred men like
Mr. Hayes to initiate.

Father Is Engineer on St. Paul Road
and Lives at Austin.

John Jones, a son of Engineer Jones
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
road was killed near Alden Tuesday
night. He was brakeman on a freight
train headed for Wells. In some manner
he fell from the train and was not miss
ed until Wells was reached. A search
resulted in his remains being found
alongside of the track. The young man
was about twenty one years of age. The
family formerly resided in Mankato, but
now are living in Austin.
Jones' body was literally cut to pieces,
evidence that he had fallen under the
wheels. His arms, legs and head were
severed from the body and the remains
presented a horrible sight. The engineer
who found the remains was so overcome
that it was necessary for another engi-
neer to take charge of the locomotive I'M
til the train reached its destination.
Young Jones was well known and very
much liked in Mankato. He possessed
a beautiful voice and at many social
gatherings he rendered vocal selections
that won for him high praise.
