Mr.. McKinnon's RESIGNATION.

Augusta people. irrespective of their
churhc affiliations. will learn with deep
regret of the resignation of Rev. Nor
man McKinnon of the Congregational
church. Mr.. Mckinnon came to this
city about four and half years ago
from the village of E'oxcroft, where he
was filling a highly successful pastor
ate. and where he was universally es-
teemed and beloved by the people or
his parish. He did not come as an Ell.
tire stranger to this city, the people
of the South Parish having had an OPP
portunity to meet him. and to hear him
on three or four occasions, when ha
had occupied their pulpit. The united
call extended to him by church
and parish was the expression
of the Very favorable impression he
had made upon those with whom he
came in contact upon these occasions.
During his residence in this city Mr..
Mckinnon has been a positive force
and righteousness. A sterling type
of the true Christian gentleman. in
dustrious. scholarly, and at all times
in close ana sympathetic touch with
the life about nim he has made a host
of warm and devoted friends whose
best wishes will attend him wherever
he may be-
Mr.. Mckinnon has been particularly
successful in winning the affections Of
the young people. who have ever found
in him kind hearted councillor and
friend. He is naturally optimistic in
his views looking out hopefully upon,
the problems of the religious life and
at the same time seeking fo.' and recog-
hiZing what is truest and best in the
life about him. As Il result his SER
mons have been delightfully."- free from
the bark and whine of pulpit Scoldiug.
MI. MckinnOn has been singularly
successful in bringing into his parish
the new corners in the professional and
business life of our city. We can think
off hand of about twenty such new
corners who have Unidentified themselves
with the parish during his passionate.

A Coiored Mans Retort.

The New York Age is a negro organ
and it shows scant patience with those
"sntis'' who are so much concerned
over the rights of the Filipinos and
50 little disturbed by the wrongs OF the
co.ored people of the South. One OF
thes "antis," Ex-Governor Boutwell, Of
Massachusetts,. has written to the Age
urging that negroes ought to oppose
the present administration because of
its Philippine policy. and arguing that
when the negro gives his support to
the Republican party he admits that
the fifteenth amendment does not ex-
list because of it's Righteousness, but
only as an expedient limited TO the
negro race in America. In reply the
Age courteously asks Mr.. Boutwell, to
tell what service the Democratic party
has rendered the republic in the last
sixty years. Has it not stood for the
assassination of human rights from it's
beginning to the present moment, asks
the Age; and as illustrations of its
meaning, it adds: Ask Ben Tillman;
ask Bob Glenn. ask Tom Heflin, ask
Jim \ardaman."
The Age also makes short work of
tn" attempt to draw parallel be-
tween the ease Of the negro and that
of the Filipino. With an acumen
" hich it will puzzle the lawyers of
Mr.. Parker's constitutional club to
match. it says: THE negro comes I'M
der tn. constitution because he is citi-
zen Of the United States; the Supreme
court has declared that the Filipino is
not d citizen Of the United States.
When .x-Covrrnor Boutwell,, there
fore, places the Filipino and the negro
i'll 4 sentimental relation 1der the
fifteenth amendment, he takes the i'm
possible position that an alien has
equal rights under the Federal con-
stitution with a citizen. Consequently
in taking sides with the Republican
party. We are governed by the fact
that III" supremacy of the Democra tic
party would mpcril our rights under
tn, constitution. under which the
Filipino has no rights to imperil." This
is = complete answer to the absurd
appeal to American negroes to forget
their own wrongs and vote with their
oppresSurs. solely because things are
not going III the Philippines to the sat
iSfaCti"n of Mr.. boutwell, and Mr.
Edward Atkinson.

Judge Parker gets as badly muddlnd
when he goes into history as he does
in treating the issues of the day. In
a recent speech he declared that Mad

he also remained constant to the same
