Hide bound politicians of both par
ties have recently expressed surprise
hat our Colored citizens should be SD
/ thoroughly united in their support OF
the Colored candidates now before the
people for election. There should be
no surprise. Colored people are as
csreful OF their own interests as any
other race. We may differ over mat
tiers of less importance, but when =
great question confronts US, we can
show as much race loyalty as any 9TH
err people.
Such a time is now at hand. Three
Colored men Of splendid worth have
been named for important, Offices AMI
they will be voted an next Tuesday.
They are Republicans and of course
they have the solid support Of Colof-
d Republicans. But in this matter
hey are more than Republicans, for
they are Colored men each bound to
the race by ties of strongest race in
terests. The Broad AK does not hest
tate to join with all Colored citizens
n supporting representatives of the
race when they are strong. honest
capable men.
In the present case The Broad AK
heartily supports County Commission
er De Priest because his first term of
service has been such a success, he
Ought to be reelected.
But Of supreme importance to our
race is the election Of a Municipal
Court Judge. For this high honor Mr..
F. L. Barnett has been named and
he should be elected. AS Assistant
States Attorney, Mr. Barnett has been
ssociated in the prosecution of some
of the most important cases that have
heen tried in the Criminal Court. He
has at different times filled nearly
every important place. in the States
Attorneys ONCE and is everywhere
cknowledged as a faithful capable
public servant. The Broad Az COM
mends the Colored people for Their
loyalty and considers the color line op-
position which he encounters to be
the opposition of small calibre men.
II elected to the Bench, Mr.. Bar,
nett will make just Judge. He will
not be biased or partial. He will
prove. that Notwithstanding his vel.
known loyalty to his own race, he ia
able to hold the scales Of justice even
" balanced and administer the laws
faithfully and impartially.
The Colored voters without regarC
to party will support Mr.. Barnett and

been complete transformation.

We are getting rather tired Of the
north pole. 1t has been overdone.
Time was when we were intensely
curious to know about it and thought
perhaps its discovery might have come
commercialva value, but nowit is different.
We know pretty well that nothing is to
be gained by locating the pole beyond
the satisfaction of a dulled curiosity,
and the ambitions of the hunter.
We can get on very well without the
alleged geographical and scientific
facts" to be adduced by. the discovery.
And we are tired of making heroes OF
the plain or garden chumps who go in
search of the pole. Every man who
wants to be a hero and break into
print trots off to discover the north
pole and comes back afterward and
tells us how and why he failed. and
will we make up purse to send him
again? Sure to find it this time! It's
getting to be nuisance. Let the old
pole alone. Nobody wants it anyway.

ISLAND OF SOLID ORE.
Deposit Almost InexhaustibIe and
Could BE Worked Easily.

Could BE Worked Easily.
The Northumberland islands belong
to Queensland and lie off the east CEN
tral coast of the Pacific. between the
towns of Rockhampton and Mackay.
One of the smallest islands in the Duke
group Of this archipelago is Iron island.
The whole island is iron ore except
west and sand fiat across its northern
end. The island is 1920 feet in length
and 52S feet in greatest width, its
highest point being 120 feet above high
water mark.
1t is estimated by the geological sur
vey that the amount of ore above high
water mark is 100000 tons and that
the additional ore available between
high and low tide (twenty-three feet)
amounts to 100000 tons, making total
of 2,250,000 tons of available ore.
The rock on the western side of the
island is greenish, highly altered ira
chyte, in which there has been great
development of east and west cross
quartz veins, probably formed before
the iron was introduced into the sur
rounding region. On the south side of
the island are three outcrops of pure
white statuary marble, from ten to
twenty feet across and twenty to sixty
feet in length.
1t Is believed by some Queensland
biologists that the ore metasomatically
replaced limestone and slate and that
the formation of ore may still be going
on, inasmuch as the ridge top supports
figs and scrub vegetation, showing that
spring water is still reaching the sur
face The ore consists chiefly of cryptic
crystalline magnetic, with massive
hematite, and has scarcely trace of
impurity. Its specific gravity is 4.5 to
4.6.
Blocks Of ore up to ten feet in diam
eter are piled up around the base of the
island. Nc work has yet been done, but
there will be no difficulty in mining
down to tide level. To work below that
level wall of ore will have to be left
to prevent the entrance of the sea

There can be no question that the
prevalence of certain diseases has in
creased during the last half century.
Conspicuous among these are diabetes
and insomnia, both Of which are large
ly due to the mental stress of a hard
er struggle for existence. The in
creased consumption of alcohol and
the free use Of narcotics are also re-
sponsible for many morbid conditions
unknown to our harder forbears. But,
In comparing the present prevalence
Of diseases with that of the past there
are several factors for which due al
lowance is often not made. One Of
these is that our forefathers died, as
a rule, at considerably younger age
than their descendants; If they did not
perish by the sword they were moved
down from time to time by the plague
and' other devastating epidemics. In
this way they escaped many Of the
diseases not only Of old age, but of
advanced middle life. Again, it must
not be forgotten that each generation
represented to a much larger extent
than is now the case the survival of
the fittest. Most of the weaklings died
in childhood. The. triumph Of modern
hygiene is that it has preserved a
large proportion of these lives.

Andrew Carnegie doubtless obtains
great satisfaction from his possession
of immense wealth, but he doubtless
obtains still greater satisfaction from
his occasional success as n speaker and
writer. Unquestionably he would rather
be numbered among the great artists,
the great musicians or the great au-
thors of the world than he would
among the great milllonaires. The ap-
plause which greeted his really clever
little speech at the Mark Twain din
ner was more grateful to him than all
the power which his wealth confers
upon him. After all there are some
successes in the world that are better
to be desired than the attaining of
much money.

THE READY WITTED MoToRMAN
Raises Track Blockade Quickly and
Easily, and Goes Along.

Easily, and Goes Along.
One way of getting up horse that
has fallen was illustrated on the last
slippery day by a Broadway motor
man to the delight of all the beholders.
1t was the off horse of big brew
cry team that was down, and with this
horse down the outfit altogether block
ed both car tracks. The driver, headed
north, had attempted to cross over
from the west side to the east side Of
Broadway, to continue on up, and that
off horse had gone down while cross
ing between the two tracks, falling
so as to block the up track, while the
wagon stood across the down.
Cars began to bank up, Of course,
right away, ON both sides of the OBJ
struction, the first car thus held up
being one on the down track, whose
motorman, without any fuss, prompt
ly proved himself a man quite equal to,
the emergency.
The minute he had got his brake set
and his car brought to a standstill he
began operating with his foot the
plunger that runs down through the
car platform to work the valve Of the
sandbox carried underneath, from
which sand is released upon the track
when the rails are slippery; and oper-
ating the plunger7. thus he now let run
out upon the track sand enough to
make a nice little conical mound.
Then he reached up and took down
from the forward end of the hood Of
his car the number plate carried there
to serve now as a shovel. And with
this handy implement he scooped up
without waste the sand from the little
mound and spread it around on the
slippery pavement under the fallen
horses hoofs, so disposed that the
horse would find it with his feet when
he tried to rise.
And the sharp sand served this pur-
pose admirably; the horse was on his
feet in a minute; and then the police
man and the driver moved him enough
TO let the cars on the up track go by,
and minute later the driver had the
horse hooked up again, and his whole
outfit clear of both tracks, by which
time the ready. witted motorman was
moving along steadily half block
down Broadway.-New York Sun.

RICHES AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
By Rev. Henry F. Cope.

"How hardly shall they that have
riches enter the kingdom of God."-
Luke 1S: "a.
Let no man take 1t, however, that
this statement involves the opposite,
how easily shall they that have moth
ing enter in. The people who have
lived pulseless lives are apt to point
to their poverty as the proof of their
piety. But righteousness is neither a
matter of riches nor of rags. The
Great Teacher glorifies neither. The
qualifications for citizenship in his
kingdom strike deeper than that
His words have nothing to do with
the bitter envy of the demagogue who
denounces those who have earned that
for which he would not labor. He
measures men not by that they have
but by that they are. He looks through
both the fine linen and the tattered
rags to the man. Money interests him
only as it affects character The ques-
tion of riches and poverty Is not u
matter OF housing ana eating, but what
a man does for himself and his world
with that which he has.
Riches of themselves do not bar a
man from heaven; but they full often
eat into his heart. become of absorbing
interest and so effectually and forever
blind the inner vision to the best
things. 1t is not that heaven has shut
its gates, hut that the love of money,
the selfshness, born of cupidity, has
paraly2ed those spiritual senses by
which he might have found his way
therein.
The possession Of wealth is not a
sin; to some it has come almost with
out effort. even against their wills; but
1t does constitute one Of the most Sc

Last year there were over 5000
homicides committed in the United
States, considerable increase over the
previous year. Undoubtedly there was
also an increase in other crimes. The
statement is made that with the single
exception Of the Italians the American
people are the most homicidal nation
ir the civilized world. The Indictment
against this country is emphasized by
q comparison with the criminal statis-
tics of other leading nations. In Italy
the homicides number 105 per 100000
of inhabitants per year; In this coun-
try last year the ratio was 115 per
100000. The annual average ratio
Of homicides to population in germany
Is 13 per 100000, In France 10 per
100000, and In the United Kingdom
27 per 100000.

The greatest problem of education
unsolved to-day relates to girls. Here
tofore their education has been a mere
copy of that long ago established for
boys. Some day genius will come
along and conceive thoughts which
shall form the basis of an education
which shall help girls to all their best
possibilities without dissipating their
strength on lines of effort established
for natures in some respects entirely
different.

How the Kaiser Travels.

The German state railway Is much
tempted to encourage the emperor to
travel as often as possible, for each
journey he takes is a considerable sum
In the pocket of the nation. His
majesty travels in great splsndor. AS
a rule there are two special trains,
one for, the emperor and one for the
empress. These, are the property OF
the Prussian state, but the travelling
expenses are paid by the emperor him
self. The court trains are charged at
the rate as ordinary special trains.
Thus, the journey from Berlin to
Elbing, near the northeast frontier,
costs rather over $1,000, and the same
fee is, Of course, charged for the re-
turn journey.

The use of large sums of money in
elections is admittedly menace to
free institutions. Heavy contributors
are generally prompted by desire for
individual gain. The interests thus
represented are enabled to dominate
political organizations, centrallzing
power and deprlving the many of their
political rights for the benefit of the
few. 1t Is useless to assert that prac-
tices of this nature can not be elimin-
ated. England has demonstrated the
possibilities in this direction so con
cluslvely as to leave dissenters no
ground on which to stand. The corrupt
practices act in force there places re
stractions upon candidates and their
supporters which make the use OF large
amounts impossible. Responsibility Is

"GO FORWARD"
By Rev. Walter Ross Taylor, D. D.

Text-"And the Lord said unto Mo-
ses, Wherefore criest thou unto Me?
Speak unto the children of Israel that
they go forward" Exodus xiv 10.
Go forward-a summons to individ-
uals and to the church, to advance in
Christian character. No worthy, no
abiding character can be formed with
out basis of belief. But on the 9th
er hand, what avails foundation if
1t is not built upon? What will it avail
to say or think that we are Of the root
If we show none Of the fruit? So the
command runs: go forward, build up
yourselves on your most holy faith.
Stone after stone, row after row, Of
gracious character has to be built up
with care and diligence. Add to your
faith courage, and to courage knowl-
edge, and to knowledge temperance,
and to temperance patience, and 10 pa
thence godliness, and to godliness broth
erly kindness, and to brotherly kind
ness love. AS in rich and beautiful
mosaic, so each tiny element Of
thought and temper has to be fitted into
its place after the pattern Of Christ.
For the little acts of each day are the
things that determine the feelings
these determine habits; these again
make up character. And as to the in
dividual, so to the church life the call
is to go forward forward to a fuller
manifestation of the Christian spirit,
the spirit of brotherhood and love.
We have had far too ample an eXpe,
rience of the evil of letting the spirit
Of strife and division take the place of
the spirit of Christ within His church,
and | believe the country at large is
most heartily tired of it. We have had
enough and more than enough of the
headstrong dogmatism which makes
uniformity Of opinion in regard to ev-
cry minor matter of more vital con-
Germ than the unity of the Body of
Christ. For now nineteen centuries the
world has had before it the spectacle,
not Of united Divine kingdom, stead
lily promoting with one heart the one
end for which it exists, but of so many
schools of theological opinions jealousy
competing for popular patronage and
support 1t Is altogether wonderful that
deafened world should have found
little to attract in these sectarian wran-
giles? Can it be doubted that in the
long course of these centuries the in
fuence of the Man Christ Jesus would
have told with immensely greater effect
than at present If that influence had
not been marred by the unworthy rep
resentation of it presented by His
Church? And neither can it be doubted
that the sooner the subjects Of the Di
vine kingdom realize that that king
dom is no sphere for self assertion and
strife and schism, but for righteous
ness and peace and Joy in the Holy
Ghost, the sooner will the world rec
ognize that it is indeed the kingdom OF
heaven come down into our sin-strick
Ell world, and as such having para
mount claim to mems obedience.
