The Story of Russell Sage.

Raleigh Times.
The late Russell Sage was. per-
haps, the most conspicuous figure In
American finance. His one ambition
was to make and hoard money. His
success was startling, yetpoor young
men who seek to emulate hisexample
ought not to have the same love OF
greed which actuated him in all
things. in all tranactiOns. Sage was
born on the farm. He had nothing,
his people were poor and when
he was twelve years old he went to
work as an errand boy in Troy at
81 a week. Jay Gould, we believe,
started life as q grocery clerk for
about the same wages, and years
later he was associated with Mr..
Sage in various Wall street pro-
motions which Melted large returns.
They were two of kind. When ne
was nearing the end Sage continued
to save. He has been referred to as
the most parsimoniOus man OF his
period he wore the cheapest, shOddiest
clothes, and he often elbOwed the
crowds in the restaurant OF tele-
graph company in New York where
his meals were served free. He was
always saving. He loaned money
when the interest rate was high and
when the security was gilt edged, Tor
he took no chances. Indeed, it might
be said in all truthfulness that he
took everything that came his way.
He was selfish to a degree. Not
many years ago when NOrcross at
tempted to kill him with bomb Sage
tried to shield himself by interposing
the body of one of his employees. 1t
was a successful manoeuvre; the en-
ploye was badly injured, but he re-
ceived no pension. On the other
hand, he entered suit for damages.
Sage fought it bitterly in the courts,
and that one act brought downupon
his head the hatred OF the whole coun-
try. 1t was really the keynote to his
nature.
But Sage did not care for the opin-
ion of his fellows. He knew that
when he died few tears would be shed.
He was not despised because he was
a success and made fortune, but he
was despised because he was regarded
as one of the meanest men on earth,
certainly the meanest ofthe very rich.
Hespent none ofhis wealth to help his
people. He thought, perhaps, that
he would use it in the other world.
The surprising part of it is that ne
lived so long when he worked so hard
and refused to take vacation and
rest. He was too busy; he wanted
more than his share of the worlds
gold.
Nothing in his entire career can be
put before the young men OF the day
to point a moral or adorn a tale,
save, perhaps, the thought that is best
to live as Russell Sage did not live.
He schemed and plotted and shaved
and did other things to make and
save a mighty fortune, but he went
away and left it. And the world was
not any better because he was here.

THE RULE OFTHE MOB.

Upon the subject of lynching, prom
inent Democrats entertain as widely
divergent opinions as they do upon
other questions of morals and politics.
Senator rTillman arises in the Senate
and unreservedly justifies this form
of atrocious lawlessness On the con-
trary Governor Folk of Missouri, de-
nounces the Springfield lynchers las
"coWardly assassins upon whom the
extreme penalty of the law against
murder should be inflicted by the law"
Commenting upon this utterance of
Gov. Folk, the Chicago Inter-Ocean re-
marks: mot one circumstance of the
case justifies, excuses, or even pal
liates the murder that was done
Those who did the deed are simply
murderers and brutal and cowardly
murderers'
And it will be seen that the Demo
cratic governor is as emphatic in de-
nunciation of the crime as strong
Republican newspaper. This may be
taken as an evidence that sensible men
are rapidly coming to: the conclusion
that the country can no longer afford
to be ruled by a mob of ruffans and
thugs. Public sentiment is fast reach
ing the point when it will demand and
enforce the hanging of few lynchers.

ROSWELL PAGES ROT.

At the Hampton commencement,
Roswell Page, brother of Thomas
Nelson Page said: Il stand here to-
congratulate you on being Negroes.
You don't want to be white men. You
want to be Negroes. I don't want the
Negro to 60 I want him to stay in
Virginia and be a good citizen.'
Why Afro-Americans who live in
Virginia and are subject to the in
famous class of that infamous COM
monwealth. should be congratulated
on being Negroes" is beyond the COM
prehension of THE APPEAL. AS well
congratulate a soul on residence in the
regions of the damned. ..
In Virginia the Afro-American who
is good citizen is not nearly so we'll
treated as Caucasian Criminal char
acter in an Afro-American counts of
nothing in Virginia
If Roswell Page We're true friend
of the oppressed he would use his
voice against the wrongs heaped upon
the people he cOngratulates.
The Negro in Virginia is not a sub
ject for congratulation.

THE SUWANEE RIVER

In a recent address Prof. Kelly Mil
Ter says:
What song yet ascribed to the glory
OF Hail Columbia, equals in power of
pathetic appeal and strength of local
endearment the yearnful quest of the
slave for his home land, way Down
Upon the SuWanee River."
If the professor had been properly
informed, he would have known that
Way Down Upon the Suwanee River
is not slave song, but was composed
by S. G.. Foster, an accomplished Cau-
casian musician of Pittsburgh. Pa,
who was closely related by marriage
to President Buchanan The song was
played at Mr.. Fosters funeral TO
suppose an ignorant Afro American or
ignorant man of any race to have been
the author of such a masterpiece is as
reasonable as to suppose him to be the
author of Newton's Principia, or of a
treatise upon Integral Calculus.

A MODERN ANANlAS.

At the Virginia Day exercises at
Hampton Institute, Governor Swanson
of Virginia made speech and had the
supreme nerve to say:
II feel kindly toward the colored
race and am anxious to see the race
get along we'll in Virginia. And want
to say too that the people OF Virginia
have always felt kindly toward the
cclored race.
The people of Virginia who happen
to be in control have shown their kind
ly feeling by endeavoring in every way
possible to reduce to pariahs the Afro
Americans who constitute about one
third of the population and contribute
to the wealth and standing of the state.

THE RACE AND THE MUCK RAKE,
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

THE RACE AND THE MUCK RAKE.
Every Afro-American should feel
deeply grateful to the President for
the prominence he has given to the
man with the rake. 1t is true that the
President did not alude to the fact
that races as we'll as individuals are
the victims of the muck-raker but
nevertheless, such is the case. and the
Atro-American. for a long period, has
been the favorite victim of the mem
bers of the guild In his case there

The mass of the AfrO-American
population is composed of honest. in
oustrious. faithful workers, but the
undertaking Associated Press takes
great pains to pass over every credit
able characteristic of the better class
and to give great prominence to every
action of the loafers, bummers and
vagabonds
The race has given birth to artists,
poets. orators and scholars. but their
achievements receive very little atten-
tlon while the evil deeds of the crimi-
nal class are exploited with hysterical
s exaggeration.
The Presidents scourging of the
nluck-raker is timely and needs to be
applied in many directions not con-
templated by him. For instance, how
strikingly it applies to such a freak as
tomdizon. when the President re-
marks: THE fool who has not sense

When I was a schoolgirl had two
intimate friends, one of whom was
very beautiful and very mercurial, with.
as many changes in her face as an
April Sky. Every passing emotion
brought its corresponding facial ges-
ture. She was never the same for two
minutes. When she was talking her
whole face seemed alive with move
ment. The other girl was quiet and
ulSnlLed, not SO responsive to every
breeze her companion. Yet, never
the]ess, she was sympathetic and
charming. She was rather plain
girl No one thought of her as having
any claim to beauty Twenty years
after we fhad all left school the first
girl had grown thin, angular and home
ly: her brow had lines that ought NOT
to have been there, and ber eager eyes
famed in a hollow face. The other
was by this time beautiful. She had
gained something lovely from every
year that had gone over ner head. She
had known how to sit still and let the
repose of her spirit illuminate her
