1t will not be overstating the case
to say that Mr.. Lewis Jefferson, the
truck-farmer, and fertilizer contrac-
tor, and the manager of the Jane
MOseley, is one of the most enterpris-
ing business men Of the race in the
District. Mr.. Jefferson is an Optimist,
and sees the bright and hopeful side
Of every question. He is one of the
his race, and has always been willing
to invest his money in race enterprises
when they have come to him in a way
that meant business. Our correspond
ent asked him one day this week what
was the outlook for river traffic and
for the excursion season next year on
the Potomac, and he replied promptly
"as far as the Jane MoseIey is con-
cerned we propose to do a banner bust
ness next year. Heretofore this boat
has not had an equal chance, and has
been late in the season of each year
before charters could be had, or IA
Vorite dates secured for points down
the Potomac. The company owning
the boat has always been in litigation
and has not had an early start in the
season to secure the best dates or char
ters. 1 have made some financial sac
rifices, and so have a number of the
stockholders of the Jane MoseIey Boat
Company, and it is now in shape and
ready for business
ALMOST A NEW BOAT
'The Jane Moseley has been sent to
Baltimore, where it is now docked, un-
dergoing a complete overhauling, from
the hull to the upper deck. Everything
that money can pay for has been used
to improve the gearing, and speed ca
pacity of the boat, and it will be

March, it will look as spick and span
as an Easter outfit.
Our books are now open for char
ters for the next season, and we have
under consideration number of land
ings down the Potomac that will be
suitable for small excursion parties
who do not desire to go to Glymont
Sommersett Beach or Rocky Point.
A Small Swift Steamer.
"In fact we are completing arrange
ments, if the business will justify it
to secure a small swift steamer with
a capacity of 700 or 1000 to assist the
Jane Moseley on its regular trips, and
to accommodate small excursion par
ties. l am very much gratIfied at the
support given me by some of the mon
led people Of my race in the city. and
while the Baltimore people have urged
upon me to form a company in that
city, 1 feel justified in retaining the
Jane Moseley here if there is business
enough with the one hundred thou
sand colored people in Washington.
The Jane Moseley will be on the Poto-
mac next season.
I can not fail to say a good word
for the Baltimore people-they are a
fine set of men and gave the Jane
Moseley all it could do while up there.

RISE OF THE YELLOW
PEOPLE TO POWER
Lord WOlseley Believes Japan
Great Now and China Is
Sure of Future.

Viscount Wolseley recently made
this statement to the London Mail:
l feel quite Notwithstanding from my
own experience what a brave and clever
fellow the Chinaman is-that were l ac
corded the necessary power and given
IAN absolutely free hand by the Chinese
government. could. in the space of two
or three years, provide the Chinese en-
pire with an army that would be second to
none in the world
Lord Wolseley has long been i'm
pressed with latent power of the well
low peoples, as the following from an
article by him for the Cosmopolitan
nine years ago shows. He said:
When I visited Yeddo and the ports
of Japan in the winter of 1860-61, the
country was ruled upon the most eX-
elusive Japanese methods. The people
were held in subsection by a hereditary
nobility, who ruled them with a rod of
iron. They We're then far behind Chi
ma in all matters connected with sea
power, for in order to prevent any
communication with foreign places, all
Japanese junks were, in accordance
with the law, constructed with low,
open sterns, so that they dared not
venture beyond few miles from shore.
Besides, while the Chinaman had al
ways been a good sailor, the Japanese
never had been so. But there was then
nothing apparent to the foreign travel
er in Japan which foretold the serious
changes, in political constitution and
system of government which were i'm
pending. The great social and poIiti-
cal revolutions which brought about
these changes were effected without
any outside help or the pressure of for
eign war.
No one can be blind to the enormous
strides in progress Japan has made,
y
and the powerful nation she has con-
vented herself into during the last
quarter of a century. 1t is a most
amazing reformation and change from
a condition of impotence into one of
greatness and power. History tells us
of no similar revolution in so short a
period. Her rulers have had the wis
dom to make their progress in military
and naval power keep pace with their
social reforms and ever-rising mer-
camille prosperity. The result is the
creation of power in the Eastern seas
that must in future be always taken
into consideration by Western states
men.
For the historian it is a point Of in
terest to note that while aristocraticaI-
ly governed, Japan deliberately and
peacefully revolutionized its own con-
stitution from top o bottom, convert
Ing itself into powerful monarchy,
very much upon English lines, the
Chinese people, possessing no aristoc-
racy, and among whom the hereditary
principle is practically unknown,
where no title or position in the state
descendS from father to son, whose
Ideas are socially democratic, have
been unable to reform themselves or
even to sow the seeds that would in
time bring forth a harvest of national
strength.

the party would have to become
more tocratic than the Republi
can party, and it could not do this
without losing several times as
many votes as that course would
win. The Democratic party has
nothing to gain by catering to or
ganized and predatory wealth. 1t
must not only do without such sup
port, but it can strengthen itself
by inviting the open and emphatic
opposition of these elements, The
campaign just closed shows that 1t
is as inexpedient from the stand
point of policy as it is
wrong from the standpoint of prin-
ciple to attempt any Cancellation of
the industrial and financial despots
who are gradually getting control
of all theIavenues of wealth. The
Democratic party if it hopes to win
success must take the side of the
plain common people.
Mr.. Bryan says for two years he
has pointed out the futility of any
attempt to compromise with wrong
or to patch up peace with the

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN
Says Stand Pat On Old Issues
I yerganize Now for 1903"

VIM. j. Bryan in an extended
statement concerning the election,
says:
"The Democratic party has met
with an overwhelming defeat in the
national election. AS yet the re-
turns are not sufficiently complete
to permit analysis, and it is impos-
sible TO say whether the result is
due to an actual increase In the
number of Republic ters or to
falling off in the Democratic vote.
This phase of the subject will be
dealt with when the returns are all
in. The questions for considera-
don at THU time are, what lesson
does the election teach2 And what
of the futureS The defeat of
Judge Parker should not be con-
sidered a personal one, He did as
we1 as he could under the circum-
stances; he was the victim of un-
favorable conditions and of mis-
taken party policy.
He grew In popularity as the
campaign progressed and expressed
himself more and more strongly
upon the trust question, but could
net overcome the heavy odds
against him. The so-called con-
servative Democrats charged the
defeat of 1896 and 1900 to the
party's position on the money
question. and insisted that a vic
tory could be won by dropping the
coinage question entirely. The
convention accepted this theory
ar the platform made no reference
~ money question, but Judge
Parker felt that it was his duty to
announce his personal adherence to
the gold STANDARD. HIS gold tele-
gram, as it was called, while en-
barrassing to the Democrats of the
West and South, was applauded by
the Eastern press. He had the
cordial Endorsement Of Mr.. Cleve-
land. vino cef ttiiHHedd that the party

1900 would help the Democratic
party if our party would only be
less radical. The corporation press
aided in this deception, and even
the Republican papers professed an
unselfish desire to help build up
the Democratic party.
The election has opened the eyes
of hundreds of thousands of honest
and well-meaning Democrats who a
few months ago favored the reorga-
nizaJion of the party. These men
now see that they must either go
into the Republican party or join
with the Democrats of the West
and South in making the Demo-
cratic party a positive, aggressive
and progressive reform organiza-
ton. There is no middle ground.
Mr.. Bryan says he did what he
could to prevent the reorganization
of the Democratic party; when he
failed in this he did what he could
to aid Parker and Davis in order
to secure such reforms, and there
we're some vital ones--promised by
their election. Now that the cam
paign is over he will, he says, as
sist those who desirs to put the
Democratic army once more upon
fighting basis; he will assist in
organizing for the campaign of
1908. Mr.. Bryan continues:
1t does not matter so much who
the nominee may be. During the
next three years circumstances
may bring into the arena some
men especially fitted to carry
the standard 1t will be time
enough to nominate candidate
when we are near enough to the
campaign to measure the relative

1900, and Tet he defeat is apnar-
entity greater than the party suffer-
ed in either of those years.
1t is unquestionable also that
Judge Parker's defeat was not
local, but general, the returns from
the Western States being as disap-
pointing as the returns from the
East. The reorganizers are in
complete control of the party, they
planned the campaign and carried
it on according to their own views,
and the verdict against their plan
is a unanimous one. Surely silver
cannot be blamed for this defeat,
for the campaign was run on gold
basis. Neither can this defeat be
charged to emphatic condemnation
of the trusts, for the trusts were
not assailed as vigorously this year
as they were four years ago. 1t is
evident that the campaign did not
turn upon the question of imperi-
alism. and tbs not fair to consider
the result as a personal victory for
the President, although his admin
istration was the subject of criti-
cism.
The result was due to the fact
that the Democratic party attempt
ed to be conservative in the pres
ence of conditions which demand
radical remedies. 1t sounded a
partial retreat when it should have
ordered charge all along the line.
In 1896 the line was drawn for the
first time during the present gene
ration between plutocracy and
Democracy, and the party's stand
on the side of Democracy alienated
a large number of plutocratic DEM
ocrats who in the nature eff things
vannot be expected to return, and
it drew to itself large number of
earnest advocates of reform whose
attachment to these reforms is
much stronger than attachment to
any party name. The Republican
party occupies the conservative po-
sition. That is, it defends those
who, having secured unfair advant-
age through class legislation, insist
that they shall not be disturbed, no
matter how oppressive their exac-
tions may become.
The Democratic party cannot
hope to compete successfully with
the Republican party for this sup
port To win the support of the
nlutocratic element of the country
