the receipts of business for one year,
which in all probability, will be thirty
thousand dollars; this added to S2O,-

Aside from the items named above,
we found in the Union when we went
there two small Golden Presses which
had been through the fire, the larger
has since shattered, which we have
had fixed at a cost of $1,000. We
found also, an Cld-fashioned paper
cutter worth about $4,000, a book
wringer, worth about $4,000 also.
With the citation above it is need
less for us to say to you that we are
doing cur own work. Those who are
dubious as to this fact, need only to
come and see. All of the machinery
bought is in daily use, operated by
colored men and women to whom we
are paying monthly s593.O0 and

see that the Sunday School Union

has been, and is a powerful factor in

The indications from Washington are decidedly sug-
gesye that congress has little confidence in the Dawes
commission and patience with the seeming delay IN
winding up the affairs of the Indians While it is ex-
ceedingy unfortunate that members Of the commission
could resist the opportunity to jump out and make
little money of the business it is questionable policy
on the part congress to abolish the commission at this
time thas been the rule for federal ofcals in this
territory to make money as they have gone along 1t
has been considered legitimate for them to make invest
ments partly it be- to compensate them for leaving
their homes in and coming here to reside and

A Capers Roast.

. had little personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Capers upon his introduction
to Republican politics. Since leaving
him here except during the Demo
cratic primary, when he was the poll
tical manager for Gen. N. &. Butler
for United States senator.
f My first insight into the iugrained
duplicity of Mr.. Capers was at the
congressional district convention held
at Orangeburg last summer, when, to
my astonishment he proclaimed himself
in a set speech as the champion of the
negro, and boasted how, at the confer
ence with the sub executive committee
be voted on every ballot for Dr.. Crum
for collector Of customs, and taunted
Chairman Deas with having deserted
his race and prevented Dr.. Crum's
selection-for not 10 days before l
heard him declare that under no cir
cunlstances would he support a negro
for that office.
I cannot believe that after the brave
fight Chairman Deas has made against
National Committeeman Capers that
he will yield to his opportunities and
subject himself to the suspicious and
contempt it would inevitably cause,
for no one knows so we'll his selfish,
corrupt and sinister purposes and how
blighting or even destructive to the
best interests CT the Republican party
will be his continued ascendency.
If only the men that M. Capers has
played with, deceived and betrayed
will assert theic self respect and re-
sentiment, It will fully Offset in in
Auence and number the Office holders
who wear his collar and who must
work for him however they distrust
him, and they can SO rally the rank
and file Of the party that neither
money, promise of Office nor threats,
or I'll combined, can save him.

A New Open Port in Corea.

Washington, Feb. T.-Mr. Allen,
the American minister at Seoul, cables
the State department that Wiju has
been declared open to the commerce
of the world by the Corean Govern
ment
The United States was the first
Power, so far as known, to apply to
the Corean Government for the OPEN
ing Of Win to the worlds trade. This
action was taken while Japan aud
England were urging the opening of
Yongampho, lying at the mouth Of the
Yalu river on the Corean side. The
view taken by the State department
was that if We would secure the open
ing of Wiju,. 150 miles up the Yalu
above 1ongampho, the effect would be
to practically open the whole Of that
stretch Of the river to commerce, so
that the project really was much larger
than the mere opening of port at the
mouth of the river. Wiju lies on the
opposite side of the river and very
near to Antung in Manchuria, which
the Chinese Government, by treaty
with the United States, has already
declared to be an open port. although
this never has been admitted by Rus
sia. 1t is understood that the opening
Of Win is directly attri butable TO Jap
anese ascendancy in Corea for while
the country was under Russian IL
fuences Mr.. Allen, the American
minister. 7as unable to induce the
Kind to open a single port in addition
to Chemulpo. 1t is probable that the
State department. will at once take
steps to have America represented at
Win by consular or commercial

II know under what circumstances

Ireland is to endeavor to find liveli-
hood in their own land. Ireland 10

these extremes are very serious draw

take my advice and stay there instead OF
emigrating to America to enter on the
keen struggle for existence under the
