An enterprising Virginian has pro.
posed a scheme Tor bringing over go
coo laborers from the slums of London
to supply the lack of labor in that state.
The same experiment was tried in the
earliest days of that state, and the re-
sulr was Starving time" Many OF

brought over from London in the early
days.
We are of the opinion that if the
foolish experiment is repeated that the
results will be even more disastrous
than in the good old days. The slums
OF London are not renowned for breed
ing virtuous and industrious citizens,
but rather those of the Jack the Ripper
type. Moreover, the deniZens of that
locality know as much of farming oper-
ations as they do of higher criticism.
But. why not try the slums of New
York or Chicago?

A Virginia statesman, Senator Pat
terson, magnanimously gives the
world the following remarkable in
formation:
The attempt to educate the Afro
American has been a dismal failure.
1t has been tried before in Africa,
and the results there were duplicated
in this country ...
Just when and by whom it was tried
before in Africa, dependent sayeth not.
Patterson is dismal failure.

When the so-called Australian bal.
lot was first brought into vogue in
this country. every Southern state
enacted it with great alacrity, on ac
count of it's perfect adaptability to
every species of political knavery,
and it remains upon their statute
books to this day, though rendered
less necessary by the device of the
white primary.

Ihare are some newspapers which
affect to consider the Chinese boycott
as most, comic performance, as
amusing as the burning of Rome was
to Nero. but the Boston Evening Tran

join in the general hilarity.

These charges were all put into the
hands of Presiding Elder H. H.
Thompson and Bishop c.. T. Shaffer
What did they do? Each claimed
that they had not reached him through
the proper channel and they
must come by the way of the Stew
ards Board. Here is wall to pro-
tect just such preachers as Dr. D. A.
Graham spoke of when they have a
timid Presiding Elder and a friendly
Bishop over them.
Bishop c. Il. Shaffer is a strong
man when it comes to Juggling with
parliamentary tactics in the interest
of friend, and he knows we'll how
to work majority into minority,
and how to keep down every opposer
of his friend, by scolding woman and
abusing men. So the charges must
come through the Stewards Board,
and Rev. Seymour knew this as we'll
as the Presiding Elder and Bishop
c. T. Shaffer, but he was expecting
trouble as he has had it before along
;; his journey in the ministry He would
not publish a complete list of the
churches he has pastored. giving the
location, denomination and names CT
each. When he leaves one he for
gets it at the same time. He had
no Stewards Board or official Board,

tober 8. 1904. (The day after he or

cOrding to his slanderous charges on

ment OF Bishop c. T. Shaffer, Pre-
siding Elder II. n. Thompson and
Rev. 4. Seymour for Unchristian
Conduct.

Two weeks ago / said l would give
"a complete history of the trouble be-
tween Rev. R. Seymour and the peo-
pie of ST. James A. NJ. E. Church,
st. Paul. | will try to make goou
that promise.
Rev. Seymour came to ST. Paul on
Sunday morning. October 9, 1904, and
on Monday night. October. 10th. the
official board (for there was an Of
fetal board at that time) held a con-
ference with him and agreed upon his
salary, etc. The salary was fixed at
$50 per month and house to be
furnished for him to live in. He was
to furnish his own coal, furniture.
etc. He received his salary until
Nov. 10, 1905, when he began to take
the collections himself.
The story is a long one and l will
tell it just as it is without injecting
any unnecessary trimmings. The
trouble began, about March 49, 1905.
when Rev. R. Seymour asked me to
wire false statement to Rev. ]. c..
Anderson at Chicago. My refusal to
do SO did not suit him and he started
to get me out of the way, and I
foremost into Sssea of trouble; but
what is trouble to this man who
boasts that Bishop c. T. Shaffer is
his personal friend and, I suppose,
whether he does right or wrong the
Bishop is still his friend. | have no
doubt of this since the Bishops visit
to St. Paul.
In June. 1905, he asked for and re-
t1n (,f
st. James A. NJ E. Church, author
church and he never made am report
ey collected. He and his assistants
collected money for the care of the
Conference and l have reasons to
believe they collected enough or more
than enough to cover all expenses.
still he had the Conference to appro-
pirate $217 for this expense. He paid
some OF the bills since that time out
Of money that was raised on Thanks
giving Day. The Trustees asked him
on or about October 20, to make a
report of all moneys he had received
and turn in the bills he had paid, and
he met this request with silent con-
tempt. On or about November II
they asked him about the matter
again and urged him to make a re-
port, as there had been numerous
rUmors about the matter then he in
formed them it was none of their
business. and he started to get them
out of his way.
On Sunday, November 10, 1905. he
had motion passed giving him and
two OF his friends authority to pur-
chase coal for the church. and in less
than two weeks he had made bill
for himself and the church. which
had not been paid some time after
ward. Thus he used the credit OF
the church to get coal in his own N.
for on the very day the Bishop was
here, January %. 1906, an agent was
around hunting someone to pay his
coal bill
Read the charges and you will not
wonder at what Dr. D. A. Graham
of Detroit, Michigan says in his arti-
Gle on "The A. 1MrE. Church is in the
Throes of Death that ''Drunkards,
seducers. adulterers and thieves
and | will add liars "are transferred
around the country and kept in good
places"
