had any sympathy for WILLIAMS?
Think you that he learned otherwise
than with satisfaction of his execution
upon the gallows? He was doing his
duty, executing the mandates of the
law and preserving those institutions,
without which, government is parody

from any of the liberal minded
white men of the South. land any of the
honor, credit or commentator to which
they are justly entitled.
All of these cases cited involved colored
people and their alleged victims were
white ones. 1t is the Governor of
Alabama who has ferreted out the law

their purposes the injury of Negroes.
These are the people who constitute

Our fights in the defense of colored
people and our success along these lines
have been with the active support and
encouragement of the liberal minded

These white people are not Negro
lovers, but they see in the spread of
lawlessness and the degradation of the
masses, the destruction of the republic.
They love the Southland and it's people

MIR. SIMMONS CORRECTION.
New York, Dec. 90, 1904.

New York, Dec. 20, 1904.
NV Dear Mr.. MITCHELL
In your editorial reply to Mr.. Jones,
az your last issue, 1 note that you write
Nowhere within the confines of the
southern states does Negro hold any
office under a state government" is
this true? Is not West Virginia n
southern state? and does not Sam Starks.
your Supreme Chancellor hold the posi-
tion of State Librarian over there?
am quite sure you were not thinking
slowly when you wrote that
Starks' position is good one; and
when he was appointed, fifty white men
were applying for it.
This is no criticism, just brain jog
ging.
Sincerely yours,
RoSCoE 9. SIMMONS.
MIR. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.,
Richmond, Va.
Geographically speaking, "the point is
well taken," but down here, Maryland
and West Virginia are not regarded as
southern states, for the reason that both
cast their lots with the Union during
the late civil war. Our reference was to
the rock-ribbed Jeff. Davis" Confed-
crate States who swore by the ''bonny
blue flag and died by 1t until Appomat-
tox came. West Virginia is repubh-
can state and Afro-American appointees
are to he just as much expected as they
are to be, in New York city when Tam
many controls. Northern Democracy
and the Republicans agree on the Ne.
gro appointment question.
We presume that you stand corrected
and so do we. We said what we meant,
and we meant what we said.

said the huntsneu,

The silence aroused his suspicion, and,
turning he shot a keen glance at his
master, which look in the well-filled
game bag.
"What you got dem game pockets

Gus, convicted, poked his hand into

ANTIGAMBLING BILL.

0ovvling's Measure to Secure Teat1~
 momy For Jerome Prosecutions.
 ]. ALBANY, N. Y., March 16.--Bitter and exciting was the debate precipi- tated in the senate on the Bowling witness bill, favored by District Attor- ney Jerome in order that he might se- cure testimony against the big gam blers of the metropolis. The bill pro- vides that a witness may give testi- mony in such proceedings without dan- ger of having it used against him and seeks to prevent his using the consti- tutional excuse for refusing to testify. Tn Mr. Jerome's prosecution of Rich ard A. Garfield he fouiId 1t impossible to compel certain witnesses to testify against Candeld because they refused Dn the ground that their evidence might tend to jncriminate them, and in the case of Jesse Lewisohn the court of appeals upheld the witness.
 When the bill was reported to the senate from the committee on codes it was so amended as not to take effect until Sept. l and so that the provisions should not apply to pending litigation. .t In the course of the debate District Attorney Jerome was roundIy scored by Senator Elon R. Brown, who re- ferred to his ''berating noted family in New York; and to his naming of a certain wealthy young man alleged to have lost a vast sum of money in Canfield's place.
 On the other hand, Senator Malby was most bitter in his denunciation of any attempt to protect the gilt edged gamblers so that they might continue their gaming through the summer sea- son and be granted protection by the state of New York until after Sept. IT,

THE PUGlLISTS.
nUNROE AND
 HIS CAREER.
Never was Much of a Boxer but had Plenty of Sand-- Sharkey has his Good poinfs--Other Notes.

Jack Munroe was born in Chester, Pa, in 1877, not far from where he fought his first important battle. His mother was more thap six feet tall He had four brothers. over six feet and older than himself. His oldest brother, Dan Munroe. declares he is strong enough to break Jetfries over his knee.
 When Jack was F years old, two brothers and himself went to Nevada He had an uncle in the mining busi- ness and they naturally drhted into tlle same calling. From Nevada one brother and Jack went to Butte. There he went to school He was a husky Lad and soon joined the football team, playing the position of left guard. When AIunroe completed his high school term he went back to mining.
 Later he played on the football eleven. That was in 1895 and 1896. Tn those years his team beat every organization west of the Mississippi river. Munroe was the liglitest man in rush line that averaged 22O pounds. yet he had his position for two years, which shows what good player he was.
 After the close Of the season Mum roe Werpe back to mining and was mace mine boss Of the first four lev els, with 100 men under him. He had saved S7O0. and one day got the idea of visiting San Francisco. There was "a big fellow named Fred Russell [ working for him. He wanted to be a fighter, so Munroe took him to
 Frisco.
 At that time Munrne did not care much for boxing. He boxed Witr Jack O'Brien and Jack Moffat and learned all he knew up to the time I he went east from Moffat. He en- tered a boxing tournament and won
 the amateur heavyweight champion l ship by knocking out Milward in
 three rounds and Gallagher in two
 rounds. Inspired by his two easy ! victories Munroe turned professional
 and met Hank Griffin, who received
 the decision over him after twenty
 rounds of fierce fighting.
 One day in the early part of last December, a year ago. Champion Jef- i fries and Bob Fitzsimmons arrived in Butte with show and made offers to meet all corners. Munroe was i matched against the champion. That
 was the stepping stone of Munroe i into the limeiight.

NATIONALS IN TRIM.

Birmingham, March 1G.-If the weather continues as favorable for spring training as it has been since John McGraw brought his base bali tossers here, the New York Nationals will start the pennant season in the pink of condition. ;,
 The air has been warm and balnly and they have had the glad sunshlna on the field each day. Macs charges have advanced so rapidly in slugging, fielding and running that he began to go deeper into the progress of training yesterday.
 Special attention was given to m side'' playing, such as base stealing, bunting, sacrificing, the hit and run scheme, etc. Mccormick, the new cen ter fielder, found these stunts develop ing to a much higher degree of intelli- gence than he had seen them in the Eastern league, where he played last year, but he was not slow ill finding what is required of him.
 McGraW's infeld let out yesterday
 for the first time, and the speed 1t dis, played kept the spectators cheering
 Dahlen and Gilbert work like old play mates around second base, and Bres- nahan and AtcGann complete the cir cult of an ideal infeld.
 Dahlen and MeGann, the older play CTS of the quartet say that they are feeling in better trim than they ever felt before i'll the spring.

MADE sHARKEY MAD.

Tom Sharkey, the burIy sailor, and now past heavyweight fighter. has probably afforded the serihes more fun than any other boxer who has posed before tile lime-light in the last ten years. Toms stinginess is one unfailing source of diversion, and f fountain whence can be dripped in numerable jokes, and his desperate attempts to learn the ways of polite society have furnished material for yarns ad til5tu1n.
 Sharkey is notoriously cIose-fisted and hence personally unpopular--but with what result? The sailor, who is now perhaps 32 years old. may be all in as fighter, bur he has plenty Of money stored up to keep him from want for the balance of his days, and still q young man he can enjoy the future as he wills. Furthermore, the stingy Sharkey, never known to loosen ID and blow himself in a gid dy crowd, provides for his aged par- ents and his sisters in royal fashion. There is nothing too good for his people, and they, at least. do not call Tom q nliser.
 Sharkey. it is said. is extremely sensitive to newspaper jokes, which is one reason why the paragraphe ers like to tease him. The one joke which made him maddest was the following printed i'll q New York paper: Answer to correspondents No. Tom Sharkey does not eat soup with fork. He prefers a sponge.
