One Subject They
Won't Talk About.

Once in awhile the Daily News hints
around about an tissue" in the pres
emit campaign.
1t is quite noticeable, however. that
neither the News nor any OF the op.
ponents of the White Democratic can
didates, has ever touched on the Ne.
gro domination tissue"
They simply won't talk about it.
While they expect to get the solid
Negro vote they can't afford to say
anything which might drive that vote
away.
The "colored constituent" has, in
fact, come to be tremendous factor
in campaign calculations. 1t won't dc
to offend that vote. It's a valuable
asset to ones political machine.
But the people are doing a little
thinking on this matter and a big
majority of them have come to the
conclusion that they do not want a
city government which has to depend
on the Negro vote for its elevation to
Office.
The people are going TO stand by
the candidates who were not afraid
to go into q White Primary for their
nomination.

following rule:
No campaign communication which
deals in personalities of any kind will

The Franchise for the
New Railroad.

The ordinance granting franchise
to the Pensacola, Alabama and West
ern railread-the projected line be-
tween Memphis AND Pensacola-will
come up in the council for its third
reading and passage next Wednesday
There win be no hesitation, The
Journal takes 1t ca the part Of the
council to the passage Of this ordi
nance. In the franchise which il
grants We think we see the beginning
at least, of the realization of Pensa
cola's long dream for another rail
road
If we get the railroad. 1t will be
worth more to Pensacola than any
enterprise which has ever come tc
life in the city If We do not get the
railroad, the passage of the ordinance
can do no harm because the holding Of
the franchise is dependent upon the
building of the road.
The ordinance win no doubt &C
through Wednesday without opposi
tion-then for the new railroad.

Some Advice to
the Negroes Of Pensacola.

On this bright Sunday morning when
they have plenty of time to read and
while the subject is now a matter OF
comment, The Journal is going to give
the negroes of Pensacola some rather
pointed advice, addressed directly to
them. in the first person plural.
For several weeks you have put
into effect what appears to be a boy.
colt of the street car service.
You decided to do this shortly after
what is known as the Jim Crow" bill
providing for the separation of the
races in street cars, was introduced
in the legislature.
That bill has now been passed and
will take effect July /. 1905. 1t not
only applies to Pensacola but it ap
plies to every other city in the state
where a street car line is operated.
The law will not only prevent q
negro from sitting amongst white PAS
sengers, but it will also prevent q
white passenger from sitting amongst
negro passengers.
The law is as fair to one as it is L
another. In, fact, 1t simply separate.
the races on the street cars, and there
is nothing in it that any intelligent
respectable negro has any ground fol
kicking about.
Now the advice that The Journa
has to give the negroes of Pensacols
as Just this:
Cease your silly boycott of the
street car lines. You are now only
making yourselves ridiculous.
Your present conduct is not hurtins
the white passengers at all, because
they do not care whether you ride OF
not.
Your boycott will not prevent tn,
law from going into effect because tn.
law has probably by this time beer
signed by the governor.
You can't have any influence on the
street car company because the com
pany is just as powerless To change
conditions as you are.
You cannot therefore hurt any one
but yourselves because no one else
cares anything about it.
What you ought to do now is tt
quit acting like lot of silly children
and act like sensible men and women
You will all go to riding again soon
er or later anyway and these foolish
capers you are cutting up are not go
ing to make it any easier for you aftel
awhile than ii is now.
You can simply prove your common
sense and your intelligence BY keepin,
cool, taking the matter logically, ant
going to riding again. You haveny
been hurt and no one is going to hurt
you.

The following beautiful poem was
written by the late Joseph Jefferson
while on a fishing trip with ex-Presl-
dent Grover Cleveland. 1t was read
at the memorial services at the pay
ers' Club:
IMMORTALITY.
Two caterpniars crawling on a leaf,
By some strange accident In con-
tact came;
Their conversation. passing all belief,
Was that same argument, the very
same, :,
That has been "proed and conned
from man to man,
Yea, ever since this wondrous world
began
The ugly creatures,
Deaf and dumb and blind,
Devoid of features
That adorr mankind,
Were vain enough, in dull and worry
strife,
To speculate upon future life.
The second, quite dyspeptic. seemed
to NOPE.
Said number one. I'm sure OF our
salvation"
Said number two, I'm sure OF our
damnation;
Our ugly forms alone would seal our
fates
And bar our entrance through the
golden gates.
Suppose that death should take Us
unawares,
How could we climb the golden stairs?
If maidens shun US as they pass by,
Would angels bid US welcome IN the
sky?
| wonder what great crimes We nave
committed,
That leave us SO forlorn and so IN
pitied-
Perhaps, we've been ungrateful, unfor
giving,

Congratulations to MIR. Avery
and Senator B1ounf.

On behalf Of the whole white ponu-
lation of Pensacola, The Journal takes
this opportunity of congratulating
Senator w. A Blount and Represen-
tative j. Campbell Avery on their
success in agreeing upon and putting
through an equitable bill providing for
the separation Of the races In the
street cars. ..---->-..
The bill was drown and introduced
by Mr.. Avery early in the session and
is generally known over the state as
the Avery "Jim Crow" bill. The bill
as originally drawn. was somewha,
drastic in its provisions and was,
In fact, amended by Mr.. Avery him.
self before 1t left the house
In the senate, in order to provide
q little more leeway on the part OF
the street car companies for putting
the object of the bill into effect, Sena
tor Blount prepared a substitute EN-
bodying his ideas in the matter. Be
fore the bill came up for action, how
ever, Senator Blount and Mr.. Avery
held a conference and agreed upon
certain amendments to Mr.. Avery's
bill, each making certain concessions
with the result that Senator Blount
withdrew his substitute and offered
the amendments in its place. The bill
xnen passed-the senate and the house
IN short order and by unanimous
vote.
In thus getting together ON a PROPOSE
ton as to whose general object they
were both agreed, but as to whose
details there existed certain slight diff
ferences, Senator Blount and Repre-
sentative Avery have done credit tc
themselves and have earned the thanks
Of their constituents.
The bill, which is published else
where in The Journal to-day, goes into
effect July 1. next. 1t is explicit in
its provision for a separation of the
races and a penalty of 5000 is pro
vided for every day which tne street
car company violates it. The company
now has seven weeks in which to get
ready to meet the provisions OF the
new law and that ought to be plenty
OF time in which to do it.

NAMES OF THE JAPANESE.
They Vary at Different Periods OF
Their Lives-The BaptfsmaI
Ceremony.

The naming of Japanese baby is
not simply the bestowal of a name
upon it, soon after its birth, by
which it shall be known during its
lifetime. The name of Japanese is
changed at various periods of his
life, says the Ledger Monthly.
When a japanese child is month
old he is given his first name, with
national religious ceremonials. The
child is taken in state to the family
temple. Servants carry the entire
infantile wardrobe, the extent of
which indicates the degree of wealth
and the social position of the father.
At the end of the procession a serv-
ant walks, carrying a box which con-
tains money to give the officiating
priest, and slip of paper on which
the three names are written. On en-
tering the temple the father hands
the paper containing the names to
the priest, who copies them on three
separate sheets, which he mixes and
shakes at random, while pronouncing
in loud voice sacramental invo-
cation to the god to whom the tenn
pie is dedicated. He then passes
them in the air, and the first one
that touches the holy floor is select
ed as the choice of the presiding
divinity. This name is written on a
piece of paper by the priest, and is
given to the child's father as a tails.
man. During the ceremony sacred
songs, with instrumental accompani-
ments, are chanted. Visits to rela-
tives and friends of the parents fol
low the christening, in celebration
of which festivities of various kinds
are INDUCED in and presents given to
the child.
The Japanese child wears loose
garments until he is three years of
age. AT that time they are discard
ed and his clothes are bound around
his waist with a girdle. The girdling
ceremonies are public and are &C
companied by very elaborate re-
igious rites. On that occasion he
receives a new name. His education
begins at this period and is consid-
cred finished at Is, at which time he
attains his majority. He assumes
the responsibilities of man and
takes his place in society with a new
name.
Entering upon the duties of pub
lie functionary, he takes another
name, which is changed upon every
advancement in rank or dignity in
his official position. His name is
changed upon the slightest pretext
If his superior officer happens to
have the same name, the subaltern's
must be changed, for it detracts from
the dignity of chief for a subordi-
nate to possess the same name. He
receives new name upon his mar
riage. His last, and only permanent
name, is the one given him after his
death, which is inscribed upon his
tomb.

Dyspepsia Yields.
A NINE LEARS' VICTIM FINDS A
REMEDY THAT CURES.
For Two Years Too Weak to Work-A
Dozen Doctors Had Tried to Check
Disease-Treatment That Sue
ceeded

All sufferers from weakness or disor-
ders of the digestive organs will read
with lively interest the story of the
complete recovery of Mrs. Nettlie Oar
voux from chronic dyspepsia which
was thought to be incurable.
ITO be ailing for nine years is not
very pleasant experience" said Mrs.
Darvoux, when asked for some ac-
count of her illness. For two years
was critically i'll and could not attend
TO NV household duties, and at one
time 1 was so weak and miserable that
[ could not even walk. My trouble
was chronic dyspepsia. I became ex-
tremely thin and had a. sallow COM
pIexion. 1 had no appetite and could
not take any food without suffering
great distress
Did you have a physician?'
Yes. L took medicine from a dozen
different doctors, but without getting
any benefit whatever"
How did you get on the track OF a
cure?'
"A book about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills was thrown IN our doorway one
day My husband picked it up and
read it through carefully He was SO
impressed by the statements of those
who had been cured by that remedy
that he Immediately bought three
boxes of the pills and insisted on my
taking them"
Did they help you at once?
Il began to feel better the second
day after 1 started to use the pills
and by the time 1 had taken the three
boxes I was entirely we'll. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills can cure even when
doctors fail, and they cure thoroughly,
for a long time has passed since my
restoration to health and l know it is
complete and lasting"
The surest way to make sound diges-
| ton is to give strength to the organs
| concerned. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
give new vigor to the blood. No other
remedy yields such radical results.

NOTED EVANGELIST COMING.

Mr.. Fred B. Smith, the Y. NJ. C. A.
evangelist, who gets such wonderful
hold on men, will probably arrive in
Honolulu Nav =. He has been nightly
used in other cities and will be in ours
if we are ready. One Sunday afternoon
in Boston he held an audience of 5000
men spellbound for over an hour. The
visible results were astonishing. His
style is manly, bold, vigorous and com
mends itself to all who admire a cour-
ageous advocate He has no platform
tricks. 1t is said he looks like a COM
mercial traveller.
On his way around the world he spent
March l. to 10 in Adelaide, and is now
speaking in Sydney. He has been ac-
corded great receptions wherever he
has been.
