past, and in the history of all races,
that when a certain crisis was approch-

or evil of any people, that the occa-

his people. and to save them from
destruction. [ take it that the crisis
was near at haLd, and has not yet
passed the danger point, when on that
eventful day, at the opening OF the

perhaps, that there are some who op

Now comes the more difficult prob
lem of the Negroes status as an Ameri-
can, freeman, and citizen. Forty years
have elapsed since his emancipation.
Citizenship, with all its attendant re-
spOnsibilities was suddenly thrust up
on him. He had received no prelim-
mary instructions for its exercise. He
did not demand it, for he did not know
what it meant; and the inevitable re-
suit was that it's exercise was a fail
Ure to him. Designing men of the
dominnt race, and unscrupUlOus men
Of mis- own race, led him astray, and
to their personal advantage. The ex-
pected in this csc happened, and that
is, as a political factor, the Negro of
the south soon fell into disrepute. 1t
will take long time to recover from
its evil effects. Those Of the leaders,
white and black, who brought the Ne
gro to this condition, have long since
deserted him, and left him to his fate.
In this delima, with darkness sur
rour ding him, no light for the future,
an aIl-wise and over-rUling Providence
! put it into the heart of member of
this race to strike a light, and point
way for his people. He endowed
him with wisdom, courage and forti-
tude, for he knew he had before him
a Herculean task, and would be beset
by snares; and those who had deserted
their charge, and left them to their
fate, would be his most persistent op-
ponents. This man Of God has never
yet wavered. He is plOughing to the
stake he has driven down. He is
hewing to the line he has marked out,
and no amount of abuse or opposition
will divert his attention. for he knows
he is following the best course attain
able for the success of his life mis-
sion, the uplifting of his people from
darkness, and degradation, to light and
civilization. The best of the white
race, regardless of sections, have
come to his support. without their

Russia is not yet prepared to
accept the report that the Japanese
before Port Arthur have taken 2O3
Metre Hill, but if it is officially con-
firmed the War Office admits that it
will be desperate blow for the gal
liant defenders of the fortress. The
position commands the harbor and
if the japanese can mount seige
guns ON its summit they can force
out the Russian squadron or destroy
it at it's anchorage. Those familiar
with the supporting plans of the
forts think it is by no means GER
tain that even though the Russians
are forced to retire from 203 Metre
Hill the japanese can place in po-
sition heavy guns against the fire
which the other forts can bring to
bear on it. Still the Russian Off
cials reluctantly agree that such a
breach in the chain renders the po-
sitions extremely critical and
though the garrison might be able
to hold out in the Golden Hill,
Tigers Tail and Liaoti forts for
some time it may mark the begin
ming of the end. The War Office
is convinced that with the approach
of the Russian second Pacific
squadron the Japanese considered
that the elimination of the Port Ar
thur squadron as a fighting factor.
was absolutely vital, thus accounting
for the reckless sacrifice of life in
order to secure position directly
commanding the harbor.
