This is the season of the year when
people generally get "het up" over
mad dog and snake. They imagine
that every dog they see acting in an
unusual manner has the rabies and is
more than ready to inoculate them
with the virus that produces hydro
phooia, while every snake they behold
gliding through the grass is only await
ing its opportunity to inject deadly
poison into their veins.

peelally is this true as regards the

enortes, both in this country and
abroad, are agreed that while genuine
nasdrophobia is one of the rarest dis
v ,es by which man is afflicted, sim
u,aled hydrophobias is by no means so
uncommon.

The surest of all signs that a dog Is

For People Who Are Bitten.
There are two courses open to the
person bitten by a dog afflicted with

the poisonous matter absorbed into the
system from the bite OF a rabid dog II
completely excreted by these baths. DR..
Buisson was himself bitten by a mad
dog In 1895. He took vapor baths. and
was never attacked by hydrophobia.
In other cases OF persons who had a
similar misfortune, Dr. Buisson has
followed the same treatment with IN

SEES END OF RACE PROBLEM.
Bishop Gaines Says Prejudice Will
Disappear as Afro-American

Bishop Gaines Says Prejudice Will
!: Disappear as Afro-American
Advances:
Bishop w. J. Gaines of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, in a ser.
mon at the reopening of Quinn Chap.
ell, Chicago, Sunday morning, declared
that race prejudice in America was
passing away and would wholly dis
appear with the advance in knowledge
and refinement of the Afro-American.
Every day we are progressing in
knowledge and the light of education
and learning is shining in upon our
people," Bishop Gaines said. Music,
art, literature and learning are rapid
~ coming to be understood and ap-
propriated by us, and the day is not
far distant when in all of the lines Of
culture the Afro-Americans will chal-
lenge the admiration of mankind.
"Along the lines of political and So
cial elevation our troubles have been
great and our difficulties have been
many and formidable. In our blind
ness and inexperience in our first
years of freedom we may have made
mistakes, we may have been guilty
with our white friends of cherishing
too much race prejudice and race hat
red, and thus we may have been partly
to blame for the race antagonisms
that have often resulted in cruelty and
bloodshed. At any rate, we must be
brave and candid enough to acknowl-
edge our part of the blame. But much
of this prejudice is passing away. I'M
proving conditions are generating a
better understanding"

VARDAMAN'S VETO.

Governor Vardaman of Mississippi
has sent to the legislature his veto of
the bill appropriating $4,000 for the
support of the Holly Springs Normal
School, an Afro-American institution
In his veto message the governor
advances the argument that education
is bad thing for the Afro-American
and spoils him as a cotton picker.
Vardaman claims that God intended
that the black man should occupy an
inferior position in society, and to ed.
ucate him is to fly into the face of the
Almighty. .:-> - 49,
Vardaman does not inform US when
and where he received"his revelation

brutal language used by him during
his campaign, he has not been in com
munication with God, but get his rev.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The date for holding the next Ma
tfonal Republican Convention, June 81
at Chicago, is the latest of any con-
vention in the history of that party.
1t will be the thirteenth National Re-
publican convention, which fact will
give the superstitious something to
talk about. Other Republican con-
ventions have been held as follows:

the subject, From bred Scott to Jack
son W.. Giles. =" It was shown that our
rights as citizens have been gradually
denied by states and sanctioned in
several cases by the supreme court,
until we are almost back to the same
status we occupied when Chief Justice
Taney delivered his famous decision
reciting, among other things, that the
Negroes, both free and slave, were
beings of an inferior order and had
no rights that white man Is bound
to respect. Prof. Hershaw appealed to
the audience to use every honorable
means to create public sentiment in
our favor, and especially to. urge their
friends throughout the country to pc
tition congress to pass the Morrell
bill, which is directed against railroad
determinations The paper was ably
discussed by Mrs. Ida Bailey, T. M.
Dent, Prof. J. w. Cromwell, w. H.
Richards and others. Rev. Brooks
made an eloquent plea to have the
paper printed and circulated generally.
The Democratic law makers of Ma
ryland did not let the great Baltimore.
disaster interfere very much with
their determination to disfranchise the
Afro-Americans of that state. The
franchise amendment to the cOnstltu-
ton passed the House on March 10th
in identically the shape it passed the
Senate, and although it contains a
referendum clause, there is not much
hope that the people will vote the
amendment down, because that was
the main issue upon which the Demo-
Gratis won their victory in the last cam
paign. Not only are the illiterate
males DISTINGUISHED but also all per-
sons and the male lineal descendants
! of such persons who on the first day
of January, 1869, or prior thereto, were
unable to vote. That takes in about
all. >.:* = 49,. 1872
Now that this question has been
practically settled, the Jim Grow" bill
will be taken up with renewed vigor.
It has already reached it's third read
ing in the Senate and the passage of
the bill seems assured. Cardinal Glib
| bons recently wrote very strong let
ter of disapproval in which he said:
| peace and harmony can never exist
where there is unjust discrimination.
Furthermore, it would be most inju-
dicious to make the whole race suffer
for the de1inquencies of few individ-
-uals.' But it's no use. Those who
could prevent our being "Jim Crowed"
| and disfranchised' are apparently in
different to our fate, and it looks like
case of being between the '!devil and
the deep blue sea-" II the Democrats
| can fix one or two more states like
they have Maryland, Republican
! majority in congress will soon be a
thing of the past or pleasant dream.

THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE.

The famous Alton School case has
been decided against" the Afro-Amer-
lean. The board of education several
years ago built a,special school for
Afro-Americans., Scott Bibb and a
number of others refused to send their
children there and attempted to send
them to- the nearest public school.
The superintendent Of schools refused
to permit this and a suit for manda-
mus was brought in Bibbs' name
against the officials.
The suit has been to the appellate
and supreme courts a number of times,
and has been reversed. and remanded
upon various points each time. An
appeal will be taken to the state su-
preh court. -..
Money will be needed to make the
fight and the Afro-Americans of ILL.,
nOis ought to furnish it.

fund. How much will you give, kind

BISHOP DERRICK'S APPEAL.
Longs for Africa Now-"This Is Nc
Country for Afro-Americans."

Longs Tor Africa NoW-InI Is NO
Country for Afro-Americans."
Bishop William Benjamin Derrick,
who has been the presiding Bishop of
the New York diocese of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church for four
years, says that he is now tired of
America and that he yearns for Africa.
He spoke Sunday to the members of
the conference at the Bridge Street
Church. He said in part:
II will shortly have to take up my
bed and walk, and l am here to pay
you my last visit. I believe that
across th4,seas there is wider and
Afro-American must feel the weight
that he has to bear in this country
and must .grieve over the conditions
that confront his race here. Two hun
dred thousand Afro-Americans stood
up against the enemies of this country
who had taken the nation by the
throat and tried to crush it to death.
It was the Afro-American, that tore
the hands of secession and the shack
les of treason. FOrty-two years ago
stood ankle deep in blood in the fight
between the Merrimac and Monitor,
and the blood of my comrades flew
upon me when they were slaughtered
in the defense of this nation, and yet
it, although we fought to save the
American flag, declares that we are
not citizens and affords us no protec-
ton. We cannot help feeling bad over
the situation. This is no country for
us.
II do not advocate retaliation; but
we should stand up manfully and pro-
test and appeal to the few friends that
we have left to see to it that we get
Justice while here:
81 will not tell you to retaliate, for
that would be advising you to be
brutes. would be promoting the bru-
tally of the whites. We are human
beings with souls and we believe that
God is just. The pulpits must be
aroused in this matter and we should
through our. pulpits make a manly de-
mand for justice from those who are
lust, But we cannot win by advocat-
ing peace and brotherly love, for as
soon as the Afro-Americans show this
spirit the white man says that he is
a coward. The manly man strikes
back when struck.
No man will accuse me of coward
ice, for I have always stood upon the
battle ground in the fight for Cod
church and race We demand man
hood rights. not black manhood nor
white manhood. There is no black
fatherhood nor white fatherhood, for
God is a. spirit and we are all one in
Christ Jestss;. -: -,
I do not: only contend for the polit-
ical5riahts3 Of the ;Afro-American;; but
contend for his civil, social and man.:
hood rights. I do not ask for social
equality, but for our own selections
as to taste and: fitness OF things: l
want everything that any other man
can have ".a..r -!

minister's that his. recent visit to
London to: gain the permission for his
ministers to work in the Transvaal
was highly successful. ..,~es. .,.1'..s.-.,5
