moral maxims with a spirit and
power as if they were fresh pro-
nouncements to arouse the energies
of a lethargic world. A man almost
or wholly without Anglo Saxon
blood, he is the ideal embodiment
of the Anglo-Saxon spirit, which
fglorifies beyond all things else the
power of doing things.
The Celt is in his heart and hand.
The Gaul is in his brain and nerve.
''He is absolutely self-centered,
and believe that he was sent into
the world to set things right. The
world has accepted him at his own
appraisement, as it is prone to do
with all ardent natures, especially
if they be serious and incessant in
the advocacy of their high preten-
sions.
HE accomplishes his sovereign
purposes while his fellow-citizens
stand amazedly at gaze, as an as
tronomer when a new luminary
flashes suddenly upon his vision
and pursues its uncomputed orbit
across the skies.
"There is no question of human
interest whose magnitude or min
uteness is beyond his strenuous
handling. He gives the American
women salutary advice as to their
domestic function and duty: with
an off-hand stroke of the pen
seeks to reform English orthogra-
ply, which has been slowly modi-
flying from the Chaucer to Mark
Twain; sets up as expert critic of
the habits of wild animals, while
Americans, of however high repu-
tation and standing, who persist
in seeing things under other than
his own angle of vision may re-
gard themselves as lucky indeed if
they escape being relegated to his
famous Index Praevaricatorum.
"Roosevelt's second point of
contact with the Negro race was
during the Spanish war. In that
famous charge up San Juan Hill
--or was il Kettle Hill?-the cour-
age and intrepidity of the Negro
troops saved Col. Roosevelt and
his Rough Riders from utter de-
struction. Had it not been for
their courageous Intervention he
would have been cut off in the
flower of his youth, and his daz-
zling career lost to the American
people. Gratitude is not char
acteristic of self-righteous ma
ture. When one is overburdened
with a sense of his ordained pri-
macy, he naturally looks upon les
ser men as being put into the
world as auxillaries to his higher

the tiny Miss who waits upon you
has the whole business figured out
on a convenient little card and at
a seconds notice can tell you what
twelve and three quarters yards of
birds eye domestic will tax you at
five and seven eighths per. or any
other similar conundrum.
There are lots of mysteries in
bargains, by the way, which if
solved would ruin the business
and cause such weeping and wall
ing and gnashing of teeth as has
scarcely ever been seen jim Israel,
at least, not recently, at all events.
However 1 don't believe in knock
ing people who are from two
thirds to three-fourths decent,
both in business and morals and
that's what they are. So we'll let
that pass. Its not their fault that
they were created wee bit sharp
er than other people.
There are compensations in ey-
erything and for everything.
Creation was builed on that prin-
ciple.
Business initiative. capacity for
organization and a remarkably
large nose for finance are their
compensation for nineteen hun
dred years of hardship and toll,
persecution and homeless wander
ing.
We have said there are compen-
sation in everything and for every
thing and may we not believe for
everybody, Negro too, as well as
others.
The "bargain" idea is one of the
principal rounds in the ladder of
compensation, by means of which
the Jewish people have risen to
power and financial independence.
They have realized their compen-
sation in concrete, practical and
substantial form, through an in
telligent study of the needs and
whims of their fellows, backed up
by the impression, created and sus-
tanned, that the public is getting
the very best return for the invest
ment of its time and money.
The ladder of compensation by
which the Negro is to ascend to
and jointly occupy Canaan of
civic privilege and opportunity, is
firmly and irremovably placed.
Education, commercialism, racial
integrity and political indepen-
dence are few of the rounds up
on which he must first securely
place his feet. for there is no royal
road to this desired goal. In other
words, he must begin at the bot
tom and work up like all other
candidate.
When the time comes, as we be-
lieve it will, when he may offer
bargains in those agencies which
are reputed best equipped and
most effective in the work that the
world DEGREES shall be done, wheth-
er of craftsmanship or in the busy
marts of trade, there need be no
fear of his being overlooked in the
mad rush of the bargain hunters.
The color of the bargain will cut
no figure. Black or brown will do
equally as we'll as white; but it
must be bargain.

Special to CoLoRADo STATESMAN.
Arthur Simmons is dead. Dur
ing many years he was probably
on terms of cordial familiarity with
more men who have helped make
American history than any other
Negro.
Arthur was appointed doorkeep-
er for the secretary to the Presi-
dent during Mr.. Lincolns' first
term and continued uninterrupted
ly in this position until the Harri-
son administration. when in 1889
he was transferred to the Treasury
Department.
It is said that Mr.. Clevelands'
first official act of his second ad-
ministration, was to annul the de-
cree of banishment against Arthur
and call him once more to the
White House. During this per-
iod of official ostracism, it is said
that he persistently refused to as
much as set foot within its grounds.
His return to duty at the door
of the secretary was very much in
the nature of triumph and vim
dication and so considered by him
self and friends. On his first ap-
pearance after his enforced absence
he was overwhelmed with congrat-
ulations by employees and visitors
alike.
About two years ago Arthur was
again relieved of duty in the Pres
idents official household and again
transferred, this time to the In
terror Department.
The infirmities of age had al
ready crept upon him and soon be-
came insistent that he lay down
the cares of Office entirely, and SO
little later on, he took to his bed
where the partial paralysis OF the
system kept him prisoner until the
end few days ago.
Arthur was never very popular
with the Negro politicians having
business at the White House.
These quite generally considered
that he was unduly appreciative of
a sense of his own importance.
Others quite freely charged that it
was very much more difficult to get
a pleasant word from Arthur than
it was to have ten minutes inter-
view with the President, while his
most gracious smile was spread
when the caller was one of the
other race.
He was a native of North Caro-
lima, a communicate in the Metho-
dist church and leaves widow
and several children all grown, in
circumstances of comfort.

in remaining on The property. When
the quarrel was ct its height one OF the
three, without preliminary warni' &,

the entire charge taking effect in her
breast aud shoulders.
Mrs. Perkins fell, bleeding proiusely,
remaining where she fell nndl discover

Exercises at Christ Church
Yesterday Were Large
ly Attended.
REV. P. n. WHALEY ACTED AS
MASTER OF CEREMONIES AND
DELIVERED ELOQUENT AD-
CHARACTER OF SoUTH'S HERO
&c LEADER.

The centenary of Robert E. Lee was
fittingly celebrated in this city at high
noon yesterday. The memorial SER
vices were conducted at Christ
Church, Rev. P. H. W,haley, atcing as
master of ceremonies. The church
was well filed and the services were
very beautiful and impressive
The first four seats in the church,
reaching clear across, were reserved
for the various Southern organizations
of the city. On the left of the cen
ter isle sat the Confederate Veterans
in a body Many wore the uniform of
gray and some were bent with age,
with locks as white as the 1eecy
clouds, but from their midst rose the
proud old battle flag of the south, that
furIed banner:
--Furled so sadly:
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly,
And ten thousands wildly, madly,
Swore 1t should forever wave"
Loving hands cIasped the staff, as
they had done many years ago, and
its siIken folds trembled in the gentle
air, as If it were a thing of life, and
heard the eulogieS of its dead hero.
On the right of the church sat the
Daughters of the Confederacy, also IN
a body, each wearing the badge of the
order Then came the Children of
The Confederacy, the Banner Chapter
of the state.
The services were opened by Rev
address on the life and character of
