Several hundred indignant Negroes
burned in efigy a figure of Dickin-
son, editor OF the Norfolk Net0S and
AdUOcGte, at Norfolk, Va, who in
an interview deplored the Booker
Washington incident at the White
House and declared that the place for
the Negro was in the background in
stead of beside the white race, and
declared himself in favor of an edu-
cational qualification for the right of
suffrage. Dickinson is now travelling
in the North to raise funds for the
enlargement of his paper to issue a

views.

returned the compliment on election
day.

Pennsylvania and Ohio are partic-
ularIy fond of their immense Repub-
lIcan pluralities. 1t is cause for the
colored voters Of those States to grieve
rather than rejoice. When the white
man disfranchises us in the South
and can win without us in the North
we become political eunichs. with no
hope for the future. Give us those
hard, close, desperate fights where vic
tory is uncertain in the North, and
the colored voter becomes an impor-
tant factor and shares in the distrf-
button of the results. Big majorities
cause our claims to be pigeon-hoIed.
Strange as it may appear, a white
man was lynched in Arkansas a short
time ago. The mob was no duobt in
spired by a chivalric spirit to show
that they believed in the elevation of
the whites as well as the blacks.
1t must have given the gathered in
telligence Of the Sociological Society
hard jolt when the Rev. Mr.. Crop
sey suggested that ''the Negro, liked
big names and that the society should
have distinctive race appellation-
such as the Negro Protective League,
etc" 1t would embarrass General Bir-
ney, Hon. George C. Gorham and 9TH
er caucasian members of the society
to serve under any classification other
than the present Mr.. Cropseys point
was not well taken.

session it was busy with pad and pen
Gil, discussions AMI resolutions in an
endeavor to solve the Negro problem .
White men of prominence gave the
stereOtyped advice to organize, edu-
cate and agitate.
Moth-eaten theories as to emigration,
colonization, segregation, deportation
and expectation were thoroughly aired
and laid back on the shelf.
ElOquence was handed out in impos-
ing chunks to a hungry audience.
Shining lights, incandescent and 9th
erwise, made plain the object of the
Society, and the meetings were marked
with a dignity and decorum in keep
ing with the serious questions to be
determined.
While benefit may result from the
organization and labor of this new
movement, the haunting ghost of in
Vulnerable National conventions, con-
ferences and gatherings of colored
men convened for the same purpose
rise up and point to the masterful
inactivity that followed adjournment
All the colored man wants in this
liberty loving republic is, to be let
alone, an equal opportunity to earn
living, protection in rights given
him and guaranteed by the Amend
ments to the Constitution, and recog-
milton of the privileges that belong
to good citizenship
If commissions or conferences can
bring this about every State in the
Union should have a conference and
a commission.
Experience in the past, however,
makes their utility problematical.
Aggressive men of both races believe
the time for talk has passed and the
time for action has come. Resolu-
tions will not nuIlify our discfranchise-
ment in the South. The case is up to
the Supreme Court of the United
States and the Republicans in Con-
gress, particularly the latter.

They gave evidence of it in the recent

mutual. One of the evidences on the
mayors part was to remove Mr. w

was his color. During the occupancy

The King of Italy.

One Of the most pleasing traits about
the King of Italy is his extreme mo
desty and simplicity. He never seeks
for effect, never poses, and is indeed
altogether free from all pretence and
affectation. One OF his favoTite eX-
pressions is Il am afraid l am not
quite competent in this matter" and
when he expresses his views about
work of art or a book he usually ADDS
"my personal opinion is Of no impor'
lance" and perhaps 1 have not
thoroughly understood the subject"
This modesty is especially pleasing
coming from a prince who is probably
the most intellectual and cultured OF
all the reigning sovereigns Of Europe
In fact. the range Of his education
has been very extensive one, and
whenever he takes UP a subject, nc
matter what it may happen to be, he

Grade COZ IrrIgatloB Dltehes.

A good rule is to get as much grade
as possible consistent with preserva-
ton of the bitches. In no case must
the velocity be sufficient to cause de-
structive erosion. Some soils being to-
nacious win withstand much more
water pressure than others. This must
be carefully considered when the
amount of water needed for q special
tract Of land is being figured on. Diff
ferent forms Of bitches and varying
grades adapted to the various soils are
possible For example, two and half
cubic feet of water n second is deliy-
cred by a ditch three feet wide on top,
two at bottom, one foot deep, with 4
grade OF four feet to the mile The

y, SECRETS In Fruit Growing.

1t Is strange how on intelligent man
can be led Csuay on certain topics.
The following letter which was sent by
"a New England farmer TO a prominent
fruit grower illustrates this: Il visited
q fine peach orchard in another par
CT my town and the trees were loaded
with luscious fruit This man claimed
there is a great secret about peaches
that only q few know. He told me
that professor told him about It,
they being special friends and also
schoollnatee. lie was very careful not
to tell me his secret and he would not
tell who this professor IS, but said he
rot 500 a night for giving lectures,
but did not give away this peach Sc

White it is utterly absurd, it shows
/ how an honest, STRAIGHTFORWARD man.
such as the writer Of it, can be led
astray. It is also a good hit on some
OF The professors who assume to know
SO much. If the professor really had
the knowledge claimed he would be too
busy codnting the money made in
Deach growing to have any time for
professional work OF lecturing for the
small sum OF $500 a night. As a mat
ter of fact, there are no secrets, SO
called, in peach growing, or in the
production Of any other farm crops
Success lies in having suitable loca
ion and soil adapted to the peach
and then in giving intelligent care t.

culture have been caused by the lacI
