ooIored Bishop Tired of Country

Bishop VIM. Benjamin Derrick, lor
four years presiding Bishop of the New
York Diocese of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church, is tired of America
and yearns for the land of his forefatherS
in Africa.
The lynchings and burnings of the
American negroes and the alarming prev
alence of the mob spirit are too much
for him, he told the members OF the
New Y ork Conference Monday at a
meeting held in the Bridge Street Ain
can Methodist Church, when he deliv-
cred his farewell address.
sI believe that across the seas there is
a wider and better field fer me. Every
manly negro must feel the weight that
he has to bear and grieve over the con-
ditions that confront the race here, "
said the Bishop. Two hundred thous-
and negroes stood up against the enemies
of this country who had taken the nation
bv the throat and tried to crush 1t to
death. 1t was the negroes that tore the
bonds of secession and the shackles OF
treason from the nation. 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 as they we're slaughtered IN
the defense Of this ton, and yet the
nation. although we fought to save the
American flag, declares that we are not
citizens and affords US no protection. we
cannot but help feeling badly over the
situation. This is no country for US. /
do not advocate retaliation but we should
stand up manfully aud protest, and ap-
neal TO the few friends that we have lett
to see to it that we get justice, since we
are here. | will not say retaliate, Tor
that will be telling you 10 be brutes, and
| would be promoting the brutality OF
white man. But we cannot WIN py
preaching to much peace and brotherIy
love for as soon as the negro shows too
much of this spirit the white man says
he is a coward. The manly man strikes
back. We demand manhood rights, not
black manhood rights nor white
manhood rights. | do not ask ioI
social equality or amalgamation, but ioI
our own choice Of selection as to taste
and fitness. | want everything that any
other man may have. But the white
man cannot be just to us because ne has
in him none of the spirit of Christ"

Fire Insurance Combine.

All fire insurance companies IN TINS
country and all foreign companies repre-
sented in Philadelphia have to certain
extent entered into gigantic combi-
nation. Uniform rates are TO be fixed
for the same classes of risks in all cities,
uniform legislation in all States and
cities is to be advocated, and all technI-
cal work of all the companies Is here
after to be done by central board, IN
stead of by local State or city boards, as
has been the custom.
The fright brought to insurance men
by the succession of the Baltimore and
Rochester fires has wiped out old dis
agreements and yesterday the National
Board of Underwriters and the commit
Tee of twenty came to an agreement LOT
a union Of all interests.
A special committee of seven was ap-
pointed to carry out the plans and an
assessment made upon each company
doing business in the country to make
No a fund OF 500, 600 annually to carry
or the work.
Hereafter the tremendous influence oil
the combined capital of all companies
will act as a unit in endeayoring to Sc
cure uniform building laws, uniform ire
regulations, uniform protective meas
ures in all big buildings and uniform
rates. Up to this time each local board
has been obliged to think out Its own
plans and struggle as best 1t could t'
carry them out
C. A. Hexamer, chairman OF the loca
board of underwriters, of Philadelphia
says
"The combination Of all companie
for united action is in no sense trust
II might be likened to combination o
ali railroads to have the civil engineer
ing throughout the country planned b.
central body and all improvement
nnon a uniform plan. The commltte
Of seven appointed will now plan an
aid in carving out similar series I,
regnlations affecting the safety OF bullc
mos in all cities. Similar districts
ali cities will be all rated the same
There is nothing in the combination
ha feared by business men. 1t Will
, a help to all.

setterS from
Women

Cured by the use Of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you elt fails to give strength
70 your body, II Is because the juices Sc
creied by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics Of the food into blood. That Is
Indigestion. The system is deprived OF the
amount OF nourishment required to keep up
the strength, and the result is that one or
more Of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker, until finally It Is
diseased. Here a great mistake is made.
That OF treating the diseased organ Tho
best doctors In the land make this very
mistake. Why should they ? 1t is 50 easy
10 see that the trouble is not there.

What Is PlutOcracy.

The Democratic Nominations against

The word ''plutocrat" does notneces-
sarily mean a rich man. 1t is a strange
fact that a vast majority of plutocrats
are poor mechanically as well as
morally poor-while many wealthy peo-

wealth as a warrant of responsibility

eminent, the blind, unthinking partisan
who votes and works for the party with

Saving New jersey Plant Life.

One of the best laws on the statute
books of New Jersey is an act passed
in 1903 to prevent the introduction in
to and spread of injurious insectsin New
Jersey by a system of inspection of
nurseries under direction of the State
entomologist. Prior to the enactment
of this law there was practically no re-
striction upon the sale of nursery stock,
and diseased stock was brought into
the State and disposed of, carrying
with it the elements of destruction.
AS Don as the law went into opera
ton the State entomologist located
s~eventy-five nurseries and began a sys-
tematic inspection in which about fifty
thousand diseased plants that would
otherwise have sold to o~rchardists were
destroyed, while nurseries were placed
under close observation. An inspec-
tor of orchards was also begun and has
since embraced the major part of the
State.
The enforcement of this law was
timely. If it had been enacted a few
years earlier the ravages of the San
Jose scale in New Jersey peach or
chards could have been prevented OF
greatly minimized. 1t is believed now
that the destructive pest can be con
trolled. For the extirpation of preda-
tory insects, the State entomologist has
put in practice various scientific meth
DDS, n of which is the breeding of
e'lady birds7 at New Brunswick to be
distributed in colonies at different
points IN the State to feed upon the in
sects.
The most important work lies, how
ever, in the direction of inspection and
prevention. The insect and other pla-
CUES that visit the agricultural sections
entail an annual loss of millions of dol
lars to growers, and enhance the cost of
the necessaries of life to the the con-
sumner. The San Jose scale last year
destroyed peach trees by tens of thou
sands, making many fine orchards
worthless. 1t is manifestly poor econ
omy that would stint appropriations in
tended to prevent this destruction of
plant life and loss of wealth to the
State.

Swift and deserved Justice has been
put on Aaron Timbers, Jonas Sims and
William Austin, the three negroes who
assaulted Mrs. Charles Biddle, near
Burlington three weeks ago. They
were taken from Philadelphia to Mt.
Holly in a special train under the super
vision of national guards. AS they
plead guilty Judge Gaskill sentenced
each to 40 years III State Prison, which
means for life. They were at once
taken to Trenton because, some farm
ers and iron workers near Burlington
had made arrangements to lynch them.
If George White had been granted as
swift a trial in Delaware last year that
state would have been spared the dis
grace of a lynching.
