In view of the fact that the Speaker of the House of Representatives at Washington and hfs committee on rules is an autocracy. his annual song of praise may well be regarded as meanI ingless.

No better citizen ever lived in Ala bama than Isaac Grant, who after near iy reaching the four score years of life passed into rest. He was in the public eye, at least in a large portion of the state, for full fifty years and everything in his life ina that long period of time stands to his credit.

Rev. Larlin, of Texas, Says the Negro
Is Only an Infant.

Rev. w. J. Larkin OF Tillotson college,
Texas, preached yesterday morning, in
the Third Presbyterian church on cond
tons in the south, in which ne SAID that
the negro is still only an infant In the
course of his remarks the speaker said:
1T is hard for some people in the
south to realize that the neg.o as race
ought to be out OF the old condition OF
serVltude; that there are thousands OF
negroes today in the south tina are inte.l
gent. cultured and ambitusi and THAI
these have real grievance when they
are classed with the saloon bum and tue
poolroom loafer that one meets on every
corner The intelligent class of negroes
are inside at work. The man who hangs
around the saloon is the worst elemsut
of the race yet he is the element that is
most In evidence.
II know / am right whenI say that the
better class of white people in the south
are heartily in sympathy with any move
ment 10 uplift the negro, morally and
intellectually j know also that the bet
ter class OF negro would Danish the sa-
loon and the poolroom from the towns, If
they could.
There are many anomalies in the st.
uation. The south IL advancing rapidly,
largely owing TO the interest taken OF
recent years by the northerner. Yet the
northerner, with his thrift and energy
does not understand the negro, VINO IS
bred under different climatic and heredi-
does, and this is the class that Is best
informed on the entire situation.
The negro is stu an infant. 1t is

DEAL TURNED DOWN.
Grazing Mems Association Refuses to
Pay Railroad Price for Lands.

The Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany's proposition to sell 4OS,S5S acres
Of grazing land to the Uintah Grazing
Mems association for from 30 cents to
S1.2O an acre was turned down by the
association Saturday after considerable
elaboration The sheep owners claim
that the offer is not nearly so good as
II looks, and the purchase of the land
offered would necessitate the purchase
of large strip of land running
through the tract offered, at a much
higher price. To make "a grazing pre-
serve as large and ms valuable as II
now Is under rental proposition of
2 cents an acre, the association would
be required to make an expenditure,
1t is claimed, that would bankrupt it.
During the session the railroad COM
pany came in for some violent critic
ism, and the sentiment was freely eN-
pressed that the offer was little better
than hold up" because II is said to
be well known by the railroad that the
association could not use the tract of
fered for sale advantageously without
the purchase OF the additional tract at
the higher price.
Land Agent Willis remarked that the
boys are little slow. that's all and
added that the land would he taken
up by wyoming herders as soon as the
option expires, which is today.
