AlNaIsonab Scandal.

.
Congressman Su,zer, Democrat Of
the city OF New York, has called at.
tention to the scandalous relations OF
the City National Bank and the Uni
ted States Treasury by introducing q
resolution Of inquiry in the House
concerning the sale of the old Custom
House in New York to the above
bank. In 1899 the old Custom House
was scld to the City National Bank
for s3,265,0 The City National
Bank was depositary OF the Nation
al Treasury, and therefore paid out
40 money whatsoever. It credited
the United States Government with
s3,2l5, 900. The government made
no demand fUr this money as it had at
all times from s15 100000 to $780, 900
deposited with this STANDARD Oil
bank.
AS the Government could not ez.
pect new Custom House TO be ready
for occupancy for some ysars---it Is
not ready now-it proceeded to lease
the old property from the purchaser
at per cent on the purchase price,
or $3.50, 600 year. THUS the Stand
ard OIL bank retained the purchase
price of the Custom House, which it
could, and did, lend out at interest,
and collected rent from the United
States Treasury as well.
But it will be noticed that the
bank did not even in it's bookkeeping
pay the full price agreed upon. Fifty
thousand dollars was to be left unpaid
until the bank actually took posses
sion. What was the meaning Of this?
Simply that 1t was an astute device
by which the bank might avoid pay.
lug taxes to tie cityNof Now York on
this property. IL has not paid taxes
yet, pleading that the Government
still owns the property, and that
Federal property cannot be taxed by
the city. The Comptroller of New
York estimates tho taxes which the
bank has evaded at $50, 900 o year.
The whole contract of sale to the
bank coverss period of ten years. In
round numbers, the amount Of profit
which the bank will receive in this
time, unless the contract shall be set
asiiey including rent, interest on the
money 1t did not pay the Government
and saving in taxes, will be over s3,.
100000. At the end Of the period
the bank will own the property and
will have been paid almost s150,O00
for having taken 1t. Moreover, COM
potent real estate experts estimate
shat by that time the property will
nave appreciated in value moro than
a million dollars.
The officers of the United States
Government who negotiated this bar.
gain were Lyman J. Gage and Frank
a. Vanderlip. On retiring from the
Office of Secretary Of the Treasury,
Mr.. Gage became president Of the
United States Trust Company, which
Is associated with the National City
Bank, and Mr. Vandernp became vice.
president of the bank itself on retiring
from the position Of Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury. These gentle.
men, says the New York American,
ought to Join Congressman Sulzsr in
demanding the inquiry, but it is
doughnuts to dollars, that they will
do no such thing. While they were
government officials they played into
the hands of the Standard OIL Com.
pany and they are not anxious to have
the transaction aired.

GOOD ADVICE FOR THE NEGRO.

The following good advice from one
of the leading negroes of the South
was published in the State, of Colurn-
bia, S. c.: This is to whom it con-
Germs, and it concerns every man Of the
South that's working for small wages.
1t is intended for the man in black.
want to call your attention to the fact
that unless at this point, where you are,
you stop and turn back from the way
of handling yourself and others, the
future will prove fatal. We viii be
without homes and without work. We
must learn to stick to our employment
and do 1T as it should be done We must
realize that we are poor, with no means
to live, except labor. We are sleeping
on our rights, when we fail, in any
form, to give satisfaction. We hear
the chickering voice of man from
across the sea. He is in search of labor.
They come in all forms, from silk hats
to Overalls, looking for work of every
description.
So we must realize the trouble that is
at our door, let me advise you to stop
and consider our condition and lead a
more temperate life. Let the best
thinking negroes draw picture for the
ignorant. Put your minds together, as
men of war; there is plenty of work to
no 4 L
foreigners, and if we don't turn around.
and make better start it will be too
late. The foreigners are coming fast
to the American soil and are filing up
the south as well. They are taking the
place of the negro and the poor white
man. Let's stop and think what to do.
What will become of these two races
that are in sack cloth and ashes? The
aims houses and chain gangs will be
filled with Migrants; so let us make
start to-day and try to do better work
for our employer; we can give the same
satisfaction the foreigners gives.
Twenty years ago our fathers did the
work that the man across the pond is
doing to-day. Go nice, look neat, i've
good results when employed. We have
the best chance of any race in America.
We are in the cotton State. with their
good soils, where there is no need for a
man to loaf.
My advice to the colored man is to-
start from to-day to make better citi-
zen by lessening liquor and gambling
habits. Put your shoulders to the
labor's wheel and, when you do this,
you will get the blessings of God, and
the good feeling and protection of the
7 white man. | have paid good attention
to the young men of Columbia and it
seems that they have turned their backs
on everything that leads to a better
life. Let me beg you one and all, as
a friend, to stop before the door az
, hope is closed. Listen to the call that
. is being made at your door every day,
and unless you reform in near future
+ it will be too late.
long to see the day that each yorn
man of my race will become valuable
: citizen, and when we do this we can
get all the assistance from our white
friends.
Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for room
in your paper, and I hope that each
member of my race that reads this will
make change for better life.
