of his ancestry. A Southern convict
would not remain in penitentiary
that did not give him more than

pounds Of meat. Of course, every
body who has ever lived in the South
knows that the great mass of Afro
Americans never gamble at all; since
they are members of churches and So

cluded if the fact of such an indul-
gente became known. The author OF
the above statements rightly describ-
es the bum element of the Afro-Amerl-

evidently he has had no intercourse

An ex-officer of the English army,
who has served for many years IN the
far East, says that the Japanese nave
shown them selves masters OF the
science Of war. 1T has been left to
the little brown men to utilize the ma
chinerJ Of warfare to a greater ex-
tent and more scientifically than any
of the white races
This is rather a remarkable admls-
sion for white man to make, but 1t
is a truth and a remarkable and sig
nifcant TRUTH It's significance lies III
the fact that it leaves no vestlge OF
the theory Of the innate superiority
of the white man and puts stop to
his dreams of undisputed mastery
over all the regions of the world. And
it can be readily seen that, in a short
time China, with her four hundred
millions of people will be the reclpl-
ent of japanese culture and training
and bid defiance to the piratical opera
tions of the white nations.
The mills of the gods grind slowly.
But they grind exceedingly fine.

NOT THE ONLY Bette NOIR.

The Afro-American is not the only
bette noir of the American republic.
There is the Chinaman, the Jap and
the Mormon. Concerning the last
named. Senator Dubois, in recent
address. mentioned the following
facts: .
"The political strength Of this or
ganization has vastly Increased until
now, in addition to absolutely con-
trolling Utah, they hold the balance
of power in Idaho and Wyoming, and
are spreading over and threatening
Oregon and Nevada, and have fol-
lowing of no inconsiderable import
ance in other western states. Their
great aim is political power, so as to
protect them in their polygamous
practices. 1t is impossible now to
elect a senator from Utah, Idaho or
Wyoming who will openly oppose the
methods or practices Of the govern
ing power of the Mormon church. |
do not mean to be understood by this
statement that the MormOns hierarchy
is strong enough to select the sena-
tors in Idaho and wyoming, but | do
say that they are sufficiently powerful
TO defeat any one for the United
States Senate in either Of those states
if they desire to, and I will say in
addition that they have a disposition
and will exercise the power to defeat
any cne in either Idaho or Wyoming
for the United States Senate. for Con-
gress or for governor who will oppose
them in the exercise Of their political
power or who will undertake to pun
ish them for their polygamous prac-
tice"
These facts are perhaps. not gen
erally known, and have not received
the attention they deserve. 1t is a
fact we'll known that a compa1'atively
few people who hold the "balance OF
power" often produce the most import
ant political results and really con-
troll the affairs of the country. The
Mormons have accumulated great
wealth and are able to virtually DEFY
the general government. They are
not only able. but are actually doing
so. just as the Southern states are
doing. The theories which once dom
iratel the country are, one by one be-
ms swept away and the sure result
is not hard to foTetell.

is (,isuuieted because there seems to
be no provision for utilizing the Afro
American labor Of the South in the
construction of the Panama canal, and
suggests that it may be because OF an
unwillingness to disturb labor cond1-
tions in that interesting portion of

reasoning is very plausible; for any
attempt to divert Southern labor to
Panama would provoke a howl from
the South that would appall Christen-

He attended DR.. Bee cher's church IN
Brooklyn, and is thus We'll qualified to
give an outline of the character OF the
great preacher. The book is therefore
not so much a history Of the life OF
character as he appeared to DIR. ADDott.
The career Of Beecher as an anti-slavery
reformer before and during the civil war
period he tells in, five chapters, fun f o.
historical matter Of the utmost value. OF
especial Importance is the chapter on Mr.
Beecher's anti-slavery campaign IN Eng
autumn Of that year from season on the
continent. his intention being to rest be-
fore sailing for New York But fate or
dered otherwise. At that time the SYM
cially the aris tocratic and moneyed class
es was overwhelmingly in favor of the
South, and the man who dared to speak
in behalf Of the American cause was
sure to invite every species Of insult and
ndignity.' This sympathy for the South
and hatred of the North had. at the time
Of Mr.. Beechers arrival, assumed alarm
ing proportions, and rumOrs were ahOat
to the effect that the British government,
in all probability would be forced by pub
lie sentiment 20 intervene in the struggle
then going fol ward in America in behalf
of the South. Such the state of feel

The Americans residing in London were,
of course, greatly alarmed over such a
prospect. ana after much trouble, per-
suaded DR.. Beecher to make a lecturing
tour through England, speaking. in behalf
Of the Federal cause. BY this they hoped
to counteract the work of agents of the
Confereracy who were then seduously fan

speeches and publications. Any other man
would have weakened, but having prom

ings and all the other annoyances which
the British public consider perfectly legit-
innate to prevent an unpopular speaker

Anaelo Gorborino.

Angelo Gorborino, a, died at mis- home
on Grove street about o'clock Wednes-
day morning after being III with pneu-
monia since last Friday. Few people had
realized that his condition was critical.
and the news of his death came as a sad
surprise. He was one OF the most widely
known Italians in southern Vermont, and
there was scarcely family In the coun-
ty that had not heard of Angelo" as
ne was commonly called. He was born
in little town near Genoa Italy. May
% 1860 When but a lad of II years he
sailed for New York, and found his way
to Bratteboro before he was % years old.
At first he was a peanut vender, selling
from an open cart which he pushed about
the streets. Later he made arrangements
whereby he established confectionery
stand in front of the town hall building
before it was remodeled, keeping the walk
in front of the building clear of dirt and
snow as an equivalent for the rent of his
location. Here he was successful by rea-
son both of mis- advantageous location
and his courteous and gentlemanly ways
When the town hall building was made
over, ten years ago. Mr.. Gorborino moved
to the Wyman building, occupying what
was once the Cooper restaurant, where
he has since been in business. There he
enlarged his stock and added ice cream
parlors, which were well patronized Mr.
Gorborino married Mary Shea daughter
OF william .. and Ann Shea of Keene
n. H., Nov. g. 1888. She survives with
four children, Annie. Lewis, Margaret
and Lawrence. aged Is, II, 9 and years
respectively. Mr.. Gorborino also leaves
brother, Joseph Gorborino of Athol.
Mass, and married sister in Italy. No
man has ever lived in Brattleboro who
enjoyed, and deserved, everybody's good
will to greater extent than Angelo Cor
borino. He had in him the instincts of
true gentleman and he had developed
the best qualities of American citizenship.
He was ceaselessly busy and the prop
erty which he accumulated came through
diligent and enterprising work Old res
idents remember well when all his snare
time behind his counter in front of the
town building was occupied with a school
primer as he studiously taught himself to
read the English language-and he went
on through life in this diligent faith
ful way, with genial good will for every
BODY that won respect and good will in
return. He was a member of ST. Mi
chaeIs Court, Catholic Order of Foresters
The funeral was held in the Roman Cath
ollc church at 8 o'clock to-day. Rev.
Father NJ. J. Carmody officiating. and
the burial was in the Roman Catholic
