Religion is like measles; if it goes on
you it will kill you. The trouble with
great many Christians in this city is
religion has gone in on them. Keep it

Every day ought to keep good com
pany. There is not an angel in heaven
that would not be corrupted by the
company that some of you keep.
The back door of church ought to
be opened once year, to give all who
have not lived up to its rules a chance
to oass out.
Theology is q good thing. 1t is a
good thing to stuff with saw dust like
the skin of fish, to put in a museum
as a relic of antiquity.

The capacity of woman for making

A White Mans Party.

Senator Morgan wants the next ma
tional democratic platform to declare
that "the democratic party is, and has
always been, a white mans party"
The New York World argues that there
is no occasion for further advertising
fact 30 familiar. The Philadelphia
Record says: "The failure of the ne
gro voters of the country to divide on
lines that serve to divide white voters
has been the strongest argument
against negro suffrage. A vote main
ly controlled by sentiment or preju.
dice, and for thatreason affected by the
reasons involved in political contests,
constitutes an element of real danger" I"
The Record adds: "lhe number of
negro voters in Pennsylvania is suAi-
cient in any close contest like that of
the election Just decided to control the
result. We only have that kinds of q
white mans government in this city
and state that best pleases the African
element. The African does not stop to
consider whether or not it is the best
government obtainable."
Pennsylvania has over so, 900 negroes
of voting age. New York has over 81.
900. New York elected a republican
governor in 1902 by plurality of only
5000. II elected republican govern
or in 1883 by only II, 200. In 1900 In.
diana had over 5000 negro voters.
Mckinley carried the state by only
&c. 900. The negro vote gave Indiana
to the republicans in 1900, as it gave
New York to the republicans in 1902
and 1898. The negro vote gave Ohio
to the republicans in 1896. Maryland
has over 10000 negro voters. That
state gave Mckinley plurality of 49,
941 in 1900, and Roosevelt carried the
state by only 81 votes in 1904. West
Virginia has about 10, 900 negro voters.
Mckinley carried that state by only
81, 900 in 1900, and Roosevelt by 31,OO
in 1904. New Jersey has over q, 1,OOt
negro voters. That state elected re
publican governor by only 1900 in
1901, and in the recent election the re
publicans nearly lost the Legislature
which is to elect q U. S. Senator t.
succeed Dryden. Delaware has 500
! negroes, and the largest republican
majority that state has given in thirt.
! years was 4,354 given Roosevelt il
1904. McKinley's plurality in 100
was 3,67l. Rhode Island has ove
9, 700 negro voters, and that state elect

These figures explain why republi-
cans in many northern states cater to
the negro vote. They care nothing
for the negro as an individual or a race
but they want his vote. In some nor
thern states he is their salvation.
1t is we'll known that the democratic
party is white mans party. 1t is
equally well known that the republi-
can party is, if not negro party, the
only party which caters to the negro
vote. Its interest in him is purely
political, aud the mask of pretense and
hypocrisy it wears is so thin it con.
ceals nothing. The negro knows that
he can receive no political favor or
consideration from the democratic par
ty. 1t is aud prefers to be a white
mans party exclusively. This fact is
one great source of its strength in the
south, and some day it materially add
to its strength in other sections. Nash

Mark Twain's Philosophy.

Mark Tw ain never looks at sorrow
with levity; only with sunny philoso-
ply that is sort of rainbow grief
passed through prism. The current
chapter of his memories in tee North
American Leview has touching refer
ence to his daughter Susy:
'Susy died at the right time, the for
tunate time of life, the happy age "a
years. At24, such a girl has seen the
best of life life as happy dream. Al
ter that, risks began; responsibility
comes, and with it the cares, the sor-
rows and the inevitable tragedy. For
her mothers sake / would haue brought
her back from the grave if / conld, but
| would not have done it for my own.
