given to colored men by those ad- visers, whether black or white, who, by apology and ondonation, encour- age conduct such as that of the three companies in question. If the colored men elect to stand by crlmi- nals of their own race because they are of their own race, they assuredly lay up for themselves the most dreadful day of reckoning. Every farsighted friend of the col ored race in it's efforts to strive onward and upward, should teach first, as the most important lesson, alike to the white man and the black, the duty of treating the individual man strictly on his worth as he shows it. Any conduct by colored people which tends to substitute for this rule the rule of standing by and shielding an evil doer because he is a member of their race, means the inevitable degradation of the colored race. It may and probably does mean damage to the white race, but 1t means ruin to the black race.
 Challenges Support of All.
 Throughout my term of service in the Presidency l have acted on the principle thus advocated. In the North as in the South l have az pointed colored men of high charac- ter to office utterly disregarding the protests of those who would have kept them out of office because they were colored men. So far as was in my power 1 have sought to secure for the colored people all their rights under the law. l have done all 1 could to secure them equal school training when young, equal oppor- tunity to earn their livelihood, and achieve their happiness when old. l have striven to break up peonage; 1 have upheld the hands of those who, like Judge Jones and Judge Speer, have warred against this peonage, because l would hold my self unfit to be President if did not feel the same revolt at wrong done a colored man as lfeel at wrong done white man. 1 have condemned in un- stinted terms the crime of lynching perpetrated by white men, and 1 should take instant advantage of any opportunity whereby I could bring to justice mob of lynchers. In precisely the same spirit l have now acted with reference to these colored men who have been guilty of a black and dastardly crime. In one policy, as in the other, l do not claim as favor, but challenge as a right, the support of every citizen of this country, whatever his color, pro- vided only he has in him the spirit of genuine and farsighted patriot sm."
 It is with good deal of satisfac- ion too that we now see that the senator's, who attempted to make capital out of the incident, ire about ready to turn their at .ention in some other direction.

The action Of the Secretary OF
the Interior in dismissing IL old
and faithful clerks from the Land
Office was rather hard. hearted on
the face of it. The action will be
followed by similar dismissals il
the case of about 100 Others. This
is pretty severe on the old clerks
who are let out through no. fault
of their own except old age. But
it may have the effect of fastening
the passage of the Civil Service Re-
tirement Bill which with good rea-
son is eagerly looked forward TO-
not only by the government EN-.
ployees of Washington, but OF all
parts of the country. In the case
of the Land Office clerks, the~old
people had been retained on the
rolls largely out of charity copying
he Land Office records in pen ard
ink simply because they did moi
know how to use typewrlters. Int
work Of the office was falling be-
hindhand and MIR. Garfield, the new
Secretary of the Interior. being {
strong, energetic young man, took
the step that none of his predeces,
sors had ever had the heart to take
dropped the old clerks from thu
rolls. MANY of them will become
objects of charity, some of them Of
public charity. They will serve as
bitter examples of the sin of grow.
ing old in the government service.
But perhaps their plight may hast
en- the day when clerks will learn
to be more thrifty ard lay up
something for old aye.

Physician Brings the Dead to Life

The local medical profession is
greatly interested in an electrical

bring forth wonderful results in

As subjects he took three rats. The
first he electrocuted with six hum

waiting three minutes applied the
wet mud, with the result that the
rat was soon able to walk away.
The second test was made after the
rat had been electrocuted for five
minutes, and was equally success
full. To cap the climax anoth
er rat was electrocuted and

Nor did he ever worry.

Nick is wider in the middle,
Especially when he begins to

And when he plays the fiddle,
