THE VOICE OF HATRED.

For many years Bishop Turner has made himself conspicuous
as an aghator in favor of the emigration of colored people from this
country to Africa. He has used his great influence in the church to
promote the wholesale removal of negroes to a part of Africa where
they could found a state and prove themselves fitted for self-govern-
ment In season and out of season he has preached the doctrine that
in the United States there is no future for the negro. He contends
that negroes who desire the highest development of their race must
seek that development outside the country Of Washington and
Lincoln.
Bishop Turner, during a quarter Of a century, has endeavored to
convince the colored people OF the south that their first duty to them
selves, their children and their race is TO leave America and settle in
"the land OF their natvty-Africa' His propaganda has scnally
failed. 1t is probable that OF the 100000 negroes in this country
not more than 5000 have emgratcd TO other countries during the
last two decades. He has learned that the members OF his race in
the United States are American citizens and that they prefer 10 take
the chances Of development here to the opportunities that might be
open to them elsewhere. This knowledge, il would seem. has en-
Filtered the bishop. warped his mind and rendered him a fierce and
implacable Halter OF Our American institutions.
In the course Of a recent address at Macon, Ga. the bishop voiced
his rage and resentment when he delivered himself in this manner:
mo man hates this nation more than | do. Whcn l 90 TO saw nv
prayers have a struggle to get to the place where am willing for
God TO allow the United States supreme court to have part in my
prayer The damnable institution which robbie. the negro Of every
vestige OF human or manhoods rights, the men that compose that
body, may get to heaven the best way they can, but very little help
God will grant them from any request that give

TORE WORK FOR INVESTIGATORS.

AT the very time the report that Richard A. McCurdy had re-
signed the presidency of the Mutual Life Insurance company was
being most industriously denied the official announcement was made
that such a resignation had been made and, furthermore, had been
accepted by the board of trustees. Therefore, Richard A. McCurdy
goes out and with him go his son, Robert II, his son-in-law, Thebaud,
and other members of the family who, during the past twenty years,
have absorbed $s,ooo,ooo of the Mutuals money.
1t was the revelations of shame and peril made before the Arm
strong investigating committee that reused the trustees to the neces-
sy of eliminating the McCurdy family, that for a score of years had
fattened upon the money of the polcyholders. Similar developments
may occur at any moment in the New York Life company, for it is
reported OF seemingly trustworthy authority that many of the
directors, who heretofore have been little more than dummies" so
far as actual participation in the management of the company is con-
cerned. are about to proceed with drastic measures of reform.
Nothing is more obvious than the necessity of the retirement of
President Mccall If public opinion is to be satisfied and public con-
fdenoe restored Even when that has been brought about there will
be much more rubbish and worse to be cleaned out.
1t is evident also that the committee must extend the scope of
Its Investigation to include the insurance department of the state of
New York. For some time Instructions and accusations of collision
ance department have been circulated and specific instances of at
tempted corruption have been made public.
Without clear and convincing evidence sober-minded citizens
will hesitate to accept as true charges that a state department created
to safeguard the public against wrongdoing and fraud has betrayed
It's trust and become the confederate of dishonest and designing in
Sranoe officials. Nevertheless suspicion has been aroused and it
lutely necessary that there remain no chance for the insinuation that
vision of life insurance.
While 1t is with moral delinquency and criminality as exposed in
the three great insurance companies that the Legislative committee is
to the bottom these charges against the states insurance depart
ment.

BALES THE
new CROP

New York, Doc. a-Thoedore III. Price.
who until he covered his shorts "A week
ago was for several months the leading
bear on cotton. announced yesterday his
final estimate OF the cotton crop for the
season as li.451. o36 bales. ON Monday the
department Of agriculture will Issue its
estimate OF the cotton crop.
When Mr.. Price deserted the bear side
n week ago he said that he had not given
up his belief In a large crop. but that he
feared that on account OF sectional and
political forces the department OF agricul-
lures stimat would show a crop OF
10000. 900 or less.
Mr.. Price referred TO the efforts which
the southern planters 10 hold their cotton
for a high price on account OF the many
estimates OF a small crop.
Mr.. Price said yesterday that as the
time for the governments report ap-
proaches the cotton markets OF the world
are in Il state OF apprehension almost be-
yond precedent.
The apprehension. he said. Is due to
the fear that the prestige Of the govern
ment may induce the acceptance OF err
roneous ideas. The small crop. which
II Is believed the government report will
indicate has. however. been considerably
discounted. said Mr.. Price.
A ~well-known cotton broker, who has
written n good many letters to Secretary
Wilson since the cotton scandal came out.
wrote the secretary another letter today
protesting against the issuing OF Mondays
report. The broker characterized the
issuing of the report as an act of AFRO
EanCc.
