CRISPUS ATTUCKS RE-
.CEPTION.

The first annual reception, Civ
en- by the Crispus Attuck's Relief
Association, of Washington, D.
c., at Convention Hall, Friday,
January 10, 1904, was largely at
tended by representatives of
Washington society. The mem
bers of the organization enpha-
sized their earnestness for the
success of their first attempt, by
their large attendance.
Representative Powers of the
10th Cong. Dist, of Massachu-
sets, presented to the organiza-
ton handsome old painting of
Crispus Attucks, which was paint
ed by Miss Lottie Wilson, an art
ist of worldwide fame, in an elo-
quent and patriotic address. Hon.
John c. Dancy, Recorder of
Deeds, received the photogravure,
on behalf of the Association, by a
mastery and appropriate speech,
which clearly set forth the fact,
that the Negroes patriotism to his
country, and his love for liberty,
has been eXemplihed by his sold
ierly 9. in every war tnat the
nation nas been involvea in, since
its incipiency.
The Invincible orchestra, un-
der the leadership of Prof. Amb-
Ter, rendered music for this occa-

SOME SHAMS.

Hon. Edward H. Morris, of
Chicago, delivered his lecture,
Shams, at the Bethel Literary
Society, in the Metropolitan
church, in Washington, D. c.,
last Tuesday night. Mr.. Morris
attacked Booker T. Washington
md his teachings without gloves.
The bulk of his talk was made up
Of isolated excerpts taken at ram
lOm from the writings and books
Of Mr.. Washington, and these eX-
)ressions were ridiculed in Mr..
Morris we'll known style. 1t is
1 great pity that this great lawyer,
FOR he is a lawyer of record,
should use his power of eloquence
o no better purpose than to join
With the rabble in an attack upon
the best and most useful Negro
citizen in the country.-Charles-

In a recent issue of the AdvO-

weary of having the department

an experienced printer and a

save this church the salary of at
least two men. The conference

Leader Who Does Not Lead.

From the Springfield Republican.
1t is easy to be deceived by what is, per-
hans no more than a midsummer dull
ness but there is reason to believe that
the campaign is suffering for want of an
issue of overpowering significance to the
popular mind. There is confusion of
thought as to what is paramount" to
use a now hackneyed word No two peo-
pie seem to agree on the point, and even
prominent leaders and newspapers show
remarkable diversity Of Judgment in esti-
mating the relative Importance of the
public questions before the people. The
democrats are naturally the assailants; it
is their opportunity and business to select
the main point of attack upon the party
in power. Yet, thus far, they have failed
In their function. Judge Parkers speech
of acceptance was too well balanced, too
far qualified by a certain judicial poise to
permit ringing emphasis to be placed
upon whatever issue he thinks should
dominate the campaign. If. with deliber-
ate purpose, he avoided form of mani
festo that would concentrate public at
tention upon single idea his action re-
vealed uncertainty and a desire to post
pone the fighting. Meanwhile his sup
porters and all who wish him WELL re-
main without strong intellectual leader
ship. Their fire Is scattered and rather
feeble.

A National University.
From the Omaha Bee

me Idea OF national university at the
,SaPltai CITY OF the country, which has been
iohs discussed and received the favor or
many prominent educators and Others &c
salo 10 nave a prospect of being in a man
ner realized. with Columbian University ar
washington as the nucleus. A movement
was started, or rather renewed a couple or
years ago for furthering the national mt
Versity project. and 1t appears that those
VINO were identified with IT have been CIV
ing some attention to the matter since VIII n
the result that the plan promises to take
practical form. While there are many edu-
Gators who are favorable to a national uni
versity OF the scope and character suggest
ed by the first President, with whom the
idea originated. there are others who doubt
whether such an institution would be OF
great value. chiefly for the reason that It
might fall under political or sectarian In
huence. There Is certainly force In this
view, yet 1t does not seem altogether i'm
practicable to so organize a national UNI
versity as to pretty effectually safeguard It
against such a danger. The question as to
whether there is need of such an educa-
tfonal institution Is one as to which opin-
ions may differ. The country is well sup
piled with colleges and universities that
are among the best in the world and are
steadily improving. Still a distinctly ma
tional university. conducted on sound pr n
ciples, might prove highly valuable adj
ton to our seats of learning, and certainly
no friend Of higher education will oppose
such an institution. Surely there could be
no worthier memorial. to the father OF his
country"

peace has fined a young woman $134 for
uttering two profane words in the privacy
of her home against the peace and dignity
Of the state of Pennsylvania and contrary

appeal has been taken to see whether a

offense against pubic morals when uttered

In this connection:
THE house of detention, as the law max
Ing provision for its support indicates is
not a station house. but an institution best
adapted for the confinement of youthful
prisoners coming into the hands of the
police until the charges against them may
be disposed OF by the courts In addition
70 holding such prisoners for trial, the
judges of the Police Court and the board
OF chiidrens guardians, In the absence OF
an appropriation, have had to invoke the
aid OF this department to the extent of
caring for these prisoners-that is, housing
ana feeding them-after the courts have
determined charges against them, until
such time as they may be sent to a proper
reformatory or assignment may be made
or their cases, by way of penalty and bet
terment: This has entailed on the limited
appropriation made for the purpose an
expense unlocked for at the time of the
inception of the institution, but the depart
ment has been enabled to do this without
great discomfort or entailing deficiency.
ton houses have been greatly relieved by
the presence Of this place Of confinement.
Many OF the young have been saved the
humiliation. IL not the permanent disgrace
and abandonment, which too often follow
incarceration behind the bars, and weak
and unfortunate females and children have
had kindly care during the period they
were deprived Of liberty.
Regarded as 1nadV1sabIe.
"The expenses for this place have hereto
fore been paid from a lump sum of 5000.
The inadvisability of such a course is well
known to the Commissioners through ex-
perience, and your superintendent feels JUS
titled In recommending that the sum may
be as he has estimated. 1t will afford much
satisfaction to those employed, enable the
PUBIC to clearly judge OF the expenses in
detail and Congress to see that economy Is
practiced in this branch Of the service.
IF the maintenance of this institution is
supplemented by a childrens court. where
they may be free from anything that tends to
degenerate, the original intention of saving
many VINO might otherwise go astray early

tected from that embarrassment and dis
traction which attaches to life in a great
