Fruit COMPLEXION Beautjfier.

There is no better cosmetic for the.
skin and no better complexion beauti-
fer than large, juicy apple eaten at
night Some will find perhaps that
the skin of the apple gives them indi-
Sestion, so it is better to peel it. Next
to the apple as a blood purifier is tho
cranberry; 1t is most wholesome.
Oranges eaten in the morning are

WE HAVE A LEADER.

In our school day years one SEN
tence was ever kept before our eyes.
Copy books drummed it into our
heads, and as we advanced gram
mars took it up as a favorite for dia-
grams, and often too we have parsed
it. Even the primers of other lam
guagcs did not hesitate to incorpo-
rateit into their elementary pages SO
that the force could not be lost on
our young minds. Henry Clay's
dictum, 81 would rather be right
than President" has been ring
ing in our heads for time immemo.
rial; yet who ever expected to see
man great enough and good enough
to without hesitation decline the
leadership of Il party when it carried
with it a great certainty of elevation
into the Presidential chair, Just upon
one single question of right? Still
this is what Judge Parker did on
learning that the Democratic party,
which had just nominated him as it's
candidate for President, had failed to
insert in its platform one declaration
which he considered of SO paramount
Il nature as to force him to decline
the honor if his views did not coin
eide with the convention that had so
honorcd him. With great propriety
he could have waited until his letter
of acceptance was made public, and
then let the people know where he
stood. But this is not Judge Park
er's way. He chose the more manly
position of at once taking stand,
although this possibly meant the de-
feat of his hopes. But he would
rather be right than be President.
The annals of this country repre-
sent no Drawer stand. 1t was the
act Of straightforward manhood
and an effort on his part to show
that lie could not accept the nomina-
ton when it might put him in
questionable position. 1t was with
amazement that his telegram was
received by tlc convention. No
assemblage had ever been witness
to such spectacular climax. And
vet, when the sober second thought
came back, one and all felt like TAX
ing him by the hand and saying
"hcrc indeed is 4 man"
This bold act has forever put at
rest the question of a doubtful cur
rencv. When the convention accept
ed his telegram the last nail was
driven in the coffin of free silver, and
the business world now has absolute
confidence in the administration of 1
Democratic President. BY this sig
nal act the entire camp of the Repub-
lican party is thrown into turmoil
and almost utter rout. The currency
question, which has undoubtedly led
us to two defeats, will have to be
abandoned, and even the strenuous
Roosevelt is at Il loss to know which

In South Carolina, there were nearly
500, 900 negroes, the proportion IS
less than one-tenth Ninc-trnths Of
the negroes, but only one-fourth of
the whites of the Union lived in the
South in 1900 In the North, the
negro is about as pre-cmincntlv an
inhabitant of the city as i'll the South
he is of the country. From the Civil
war to 1900 the negro population Of
the Union has about doubled.
The above figures are ofcoursc only
approximately correct. Since that
time many changes have occurred and
the only use to which they can be
applied is the purpose of comparison.
For instance, it is more than proba-
ale that the negro inils1 towards
Philadelphia has run its number of
dusky inhabitants up tens OF thous-
ands. OF course this has made 4 cor
responding decrease elsewhere nota-
bly, in those states where the right
of franchise has been abridged.
1t is said that the government has
issued this full statement to back up
the plank of the republican platform
referring to the proposed decrease i'll
those states where the privilege of
franchise is restricted. The demo
Gratis of the South want to meet the
northern demagogucs on these lines
Just to show them that some of the
spirit of the early sixties is still here
and that it will show itself not by
bullets but ballots. And these ballots
will count too. If we mistake not
their numbers will be so great
that there will not be a single break
in the solid South. Parker and
Davis is a winning ticket and i'll this
general victory our own beloved
section is going to make good
showing.

way to turn in order to lead the
voters from Parker.
Perhaps one of the most conserva-
tive newspapers in this country is the
New York Evening Post. Its utter
ances are generally ultra-Republican.
Yet the manhood displayed by Judge
Parker was of the sort as to even
challenge the admiration of its exclu-
sive columns. 1t says: "One coura-
geous utterancc has instantaneously
and magically changed the whole as
pect of the campaign. 1t has trans
formed detection into highest hopes.
Today it is the Republican party
that is thrown into confusion. 1t
sees its guns spiked and its ammuni-
ton thrown into Esopus Creek. The
plan of campaign over which it was
gloating it already has to abandon.
To talk one word more about dan

excite derision. And how about
that other foul charge that
Parker is Hills man? Who could
breathe that in the future? Look at
Hill rolled in the dust at st. Louis,
and ask if that Liliputian will ever
undertake to bind the mighty thews
of the man who openly discounted
him. Let no Republican orator who
does not wish to get himself booted
dare henceforth revive the Islander
that Judge Parker is dominated by
Hill. And note, too, the splendid
guarantee we have that the man
who, while only candidate, could
SO nobly defy pressure, would stand
immovably for his convictions when
once elected President.

lenge comparison of personalities. 1t
appears that your charging colonies

courage may be bred. That product

Juan Hill. Woe to the Republican
orator who ventures a rhetorical
question-'Who is the candidate who

Honor bright you LADDERS of Theo-

anything approximating the moral
courage shown by Judge Parker on
Saturday.
"Such an exhibition of sheer man
hood makes all parties kin. Repub-
licans know a man when they see
him, and thousands of them are to-
day applauding the Democrat of
whom they were preparing to speak
slightingly. Judge Parker has in
spired multitudes who had thought
that nothing in politics could ever
cause them to become enthusiastic
again. Every where one encounters
the thrill, we have a leader. We

RETURNED TO THEIR FIRST LOVE

\ sign of the approaching victory
that is predicted by all good demo-
Gratis is the withdrawal of the popu-
lists from the lists of democracy. In
the campaign of 1892 they conducted

should be n representative of tads

Jefferson have been handed down to
us and we have treasured them,
although at times it was just 4 little
troublesome to penetrate the outer
surroundings that seemed to attach
themselves like barnacles on the
bottom of our good old ship of state.
But Democracy has undergone a
change or rather it has cast off it's
changes and is now back to safe old
traditions. We mean no disrespect
to the populists and would be glad
to have them in our ranks if it did
not require n rehabilitation of our
principals and platforms. Many
conservative democrats have felt in
the past that too much sacrifice was
made to secure these uncertain votes

will experience but little regret when

NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES

NEGROES IN THE UNITED STATES.
The -Egis is in receipt of a late
bulletin of the Census Bureau on the
subject of negroes. 1t isparticularly
interesting to note the much valuable
information that will ut once be put
in the hands of the public. The action
of the two great parties in incorpo-
rating reference to the races has also
had tendency to force the race issue
on the Southern States. 1t is true
that the republicans only call atten-
ton by innuendo still it is sufficient
notice to the country that the cause
of the negro will be much more zeal
ously champloned than heretofore.
1t is our purpose, at different times,
to.refer to this issue rs the occasion
seems to require. ThercGoreiti is very
necessary that our readers may have
some statistics which will enable
them to better understand what may
follow.
The United States contains the
greatest number of negroes of any
country in the world except Africa
nearly ten millions. OF this vast
number only three per cent. are with
i'll what is known as our Insular
possessions, and nearly nine tenths of
our continental negroes are in the
Southern states. More than three
tenths are in the three states of
Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama.
The cities having the greatest popu-
lation of negroes are Washington,
S6,7O2; Baltimore, 79,25S; New
Orleans, 77,714; Philadelphia, Co.
613; New York, 0,666; Memphis,
1870; Louisville, 80, 1879; Atlanta,
1927; st. Louis, 80, 516; Richmond,
1920; Charleston, South Caroline,
81 500; and Chicago, 30,150. There
are five cities in the United States of
over 100000 in population in which
the increase of negroes is greater than
the whites. In this list is Baltimore
which shows negro per cent. 1871;
white 16.9. In the counties of Mary
land 35.1 of the negroes were litter
ate in 1900 and so. 1 in 800. Accord
ing to the census the county having
thegreatest number ofnegroes is Anne
Arundel with 15,367; the least is
Garrett with 126. IIarford's quota
is >, SOL out of little over %, 900 in
all. The immense state of Pennsyl-
vania with many times more white
people than Maryland has not one
half the negro population. AS we
have shown above, Washington has
the greatest negro population of any
city in the union.
In from one-ninth to one-sixth Of
the negroes there is some measure of
white blood. 1t is certain that this
admixture is most prevalent where
the negroes proportionately to the
whites are fewest, and least where
they are most numerous. In South
Carolina where nearly three-fifths of
the total population is negro, there
is the smallest admixture of white
and colored blood; and in Mississippi
where the races are nearly equal the
admixture is very slight proportion
ately. In Maine, where in a total
population of nearly 100000 there
were only 1 ,319 negroes i'll 1900, the
mulattoes were about three-fifths.
