Asserted That Fred Douglass
Was Present at Wedding Re-
ception in White House.
STATEMENT BY TH0S. WATSON
Issues Public Card Denouncing
the Bill Whereby White and
Negro Children Were Put in
Same School in New York.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

Atlanta. Ca, March 6.-Thomas E Wat
son, well-known historian and lecturer,
former Pcpulist candidate for Vice Presi-
dent. in a public card to-day states that
certain newspapers which publish the let
ter Of former President Cleveland deny
ing that C. H. j. Taylor. colored. ever
dlned at his table go too far when they
announce under scare headlines that no
negro ever ate at ClevelaHd's table"
Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Watson say con-
fired his denial strictly 10 Taylor. Con-
tinu!ng. Mr.. Watson says:
ct might not be fair to recall instances
where cDlored Congressman dined at the
White House at state dinners. but 1t is
perfectly fair to remind Mr.. Cleveland OF
Fred Douglass. This negro. who had mar
ried a white woman. was not only treated
with official consid sration. but when Mr..
Cleveland had his bride come to the
bite House that he might wed there he
Invited Fred Douglass and his wife to at
tend the reception.
II his reception was not a stale function:
Il wes social. No one had the right TO be
present save those invited. and surely Mr..
Cleveland must have respected his lovely
end accomplished bride too much to have
summoned any man or woman whom he
did not consider his or her social equal.
1t does not appear that he invited either
his coachman or his cook.
Not only did Mr.. Cleveland do his kind
Of thing in Washington. but when Gov
ernor of New York he signed the bill pro-
viGing for mixed schools. Owing to this
scheme, which he thus approved, negro
children have heen injected into white
schools and white children have been COM
PEELED to submit to negro teachers.
IF this is not social equality. what is it?
WHAT does that system OF coeducation
lead to inevitably? To Southern white peo-
pie nothing could be more odious than
this bringing together on terms Of abso-
lutte equality IF hide white girls ard little
Gegro boys"

Chicago Jan. 19.-Four gray prairie
wolves escaped from the rear room
of a commission house at 756 Sixty

ing a panic among pedestrians. At

full grown and trapped in Wisconsin.
They were TO have been shipped TO a
firm in Missouri, which supplies me-
ma geries. One escaped and took refuge
in IA woodpile, where it was captured.
The other wolves attacked n coach
dog owned by III. j. Smalley, 1855 En-

ported to the police that two of the
animals had been seen on the Sher-

leisurely round of the great white hall
with its beautiful colonnades, in which
the representatives Of the various coun-

chatted freely with everybody, and at
considera bic length with several of the
diplomats.
Keen curiosity was exhibited all
over the room when his majesty APP
preached Kurino. the japanese minis
ter to Russia. The conversation he

cordial and extended. His majesty
emphasized the high value which he
places upon the good and neighborly
relations between Japan and Russia,
not only now but in the future, and
expressed his mistaken hope that a
mutually satisfactory settlement of the
difficulties between the two countries
would be arranged

The inception and organization OF
the grange came through a recognition
of the needs of the agricultural class of
our country at time when its interests
were very seriously depressed. At the
close of the civil war farms were gen
orally heavily mortgaged, and farmers
were staggering under the burden of
debt.
The work of the grange was TO bring
farmers together in an organized ca
