TUSKEGEE'S NEW PLAN.

The officers of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute, of Tuskegee,
Ala, have gradually matured a plan
which should very deeply interest the
young men and women of the race who
are seeking an education. This plan
enables young men and young women
to attend school at night and work at
an industry or trade during the day,
or in the case of those who are able
to pay q small monthly sum, to attend
school during the day and at the same
time, learn trade or work at some
industry. This improved plan gives
superior opportunity for literary and
academic training and at the same
time, gives equal opportunity for the
learning of a trade. Last year thirty
six states were represented fy students
at Tuskegee, and nine foreign coun-
tries. The attendance during the COM
ing year promises to be very large and
the class of students promises to be of
a high grade.

the American people, which caused a
destruction of life and property and
entailed sufferings such as the world
had never before dreamed of. The
leaders of the Democratic party can
never escape the responsibility for all
that happened between 1861 and 1865,
and when, after the close of that war,
the American people through the Re
publican party extended amnesty TO
those leaders, they under the inspira-
ton of the despicable treachery Of An
drew Johnson, re-estabHshed their
State Governments to suit themselves,
and rushed to Washington, and with
the same spirit of audaciOus, domin-
eering, demanded at once peace and
power under the very flag at which
they had been shooting for four
years; those times, however, present
also, beautiful instances of magnii-
| cent courage, wisdom and patriotism
displayed by the Republican leaders,
who saved the situation and in
large measure protected from spoila-
| ton the fruits of victory won by
| Grant, Sherman Sheridan and the
| hosts of others in blue; from those
days to the present the same spirit of
| domineering persistence has character
lied the Democratic leadership, and in
| order that this dictorial, oVer-bearing
spirit of aggressiveness may succeed
in ultimately controlling everything,
methods the most disgraceful are Of
ten resorted to-such as the tissue bal
| lot in New ork and the shot gun in
the South; and general abuse and
SANDER is another much favored
method. 1t is almost horrifying to be-
gin with Lincoln and come forward to
Roosevelt, and behold the vile, vicious
despicable assaults made upon Lin
coin, Grant, Garfield, Harrison and
Mckinley by the Democratic leaders
n Congress, in the press and on the
stump; but it seems that they have
reserved for President Roosevelt the
+ fullest walls of foulness, vileness, and
SANDER.
This outrageous course of daring
| assault upon Mr.. Roosevelt is doubt
less an inspiration of the South, ii
) has a kind of Southern dash about It
There are certainly at least, two OBJ
jects in view, one is the faint hope OF
. defeating Mr.. Roosevelt, the other is
to so impress the Republican leader

sections of the country cease to be
calm in Judgment, that is to say, that
all the American people must be calm
while the solid South disfranchises
more than half the citizens in some of
the States and more than a third in
many others of them and continue to
be possessed of that beautiful calm
ness of judgment, while this same sol
id South walks boldly to Congress
with claim demanding representa-
ton for every man they have deprived
of his right to vote, and his represen-
tation thus demanded is not to rep
resent the views and interests of the

final settlement of this race ques-
ton which seems to have given the

In settling that trouble there is but
| one course to pursue that will be fair
and just to the American voters, in
the sections of the country outside of
| the South, and that course under the
| circumstances is to enforce the 14th
article OF the Federal Constitution,
thus reducing the representation Of
the South in Congress and in the elec-
| toraI college in proportion to the vote
! suppressed there by the Democratic
party. 1t is an outrage for the South
ern Democrats to be permitted to op
press the Negro at home by disfran-
chising him and then go to Congress
by simply counting the men whom
they have disfranchised. The calm
Judgment of the American people will
put stop to such political piracy next

that hereafter the vote of one man il

ST. Thomas, D. w. l., Special.-The
Democratic party is exclusively re
sponsible for the woes caused by the
race question to which reference is so
skiIfully made in the national plat
form Of that party. The outrageous
legislation enacted by the Democrats
prior to 1861, in the interest of human
slavery and in utter disregard Of the
interests Of the masses of white peo-
pie of the country, and the war into
which the leaders of that party plung-
ed the country in an attempt to per-
petuate that infamous institution and
the heathenish and fiendish methods
used and the shameless course pur-
sued by the leaders of democracy in
dealing with the Negro race since the
war, especially in the South, are Who'll

to the race question. The appeal tC

A Great Possession.

Patience is great possession. No
one never accomplished much who
lacked it. When your plans and your
hopes seem all likely to fail, don't
give up. "All things come to him who
waits. A great patience will tire
out many pain, and it is a fine
thing to have persistence. When the
world finds out that you are deter
mined to have your own way that
rebufs, obstacles and even disappont-
ments cannot turn you aside, it will
cease to oppose you. Sir Isaac New

heroism, wonderful staying qualities,
to succeed under such circumstances.

Facts About ostriches.

Many accounts have been writ en-
Of the ferceness of the African ostrich
but most of the statements are e1ag-
gerated. During the laying season
the males become quite ferocious and.
one must be very careful in approach
ing nest, as be may get kick which
will not only knock him senseless,
but possibly wound him badly, as
each bird has upon its feet claws
which will cut like knife. 4 curl
Gus fact is that if person stoops over
when attacked by one of the large
birds he may save himself from the
kick, as it cannot exert any force be-
low height Of three feet, owing to
the peculiar manner in which the legs
are jointed The keepers at the os-
trich farm at Jacksonville, Fla, take
with them small dogs, which will
drive the largest ostriches anywhere
about the pen. The birds realize
that they cannot harm the dogs with
their feet and fear them more than
man.
Ostriches are very much like other
birds in Matching and rearing their
young. Shortly after pairing off the
two birds will begin to build a nest,
or rather to dig one out of the ground.
The male bird rests HE breastbone on
the ground and kicks the sand out
behind him. When one side is suf-
fciently deep he turns around and
operates in a like manner until a
round hole about four feet In diameter
and one foot deep is the result of his
e1ertions. Occasionally he intimates
to the female that help is required,
and they take turns. The hen be-
gins to lay an egg every other day
until u or Is are located side by
side in this hole in the ground then
they scatter little sand over the
eggs to protect them from the rays Of
the sun.
AS soon as the full number of eggs
are laid the couple share the labor Of
Matching, the male bird sitting on the
eggs from about i o'clock in the after
noon until 9 o'clock the following
morning. 1t may be understood with
what skill this is performed when it
is remembered that $50 to 400 pounds
of ostrich are bearing down upon Ii
eggs. At about 9 o'clock in the
morning the hen takes his place. The
male ostrich, however, relieves the fe-
male for an hour in the middle of the
day, while she goes in search Of neces-
saIy nourishment. A pair will fol-
low this schedule with regularity for
40 days, when the chicks can be heard
in the shells.
