NEGROES INSIST
ON DATE CHOSEN
Ignore Appeal of Rev. Lewis,
Who Will Now Have Nothing
to Do With Celebration.

Notwithstanding repeated efforts Of
prominent and respected colored min
listers in the city, the negroes of Rich
mond and the State will observe
Emancipation Day. as has been their
custom on April 3D. with the usual pa
rade, and with speeches and music in
Broad Street Park. The celebration
this year will probably be the largest
ever held, if present plans are carried
out. The arrangements are IN the
hands of the AfroAmerican Enamel
patton Day Association.
Although the festivities have been
held on April Sd for many years, Rev.
Lewis has called the attention of his
people to the fact that the day forty
four years ago was one of greatest
trial to both white people and negroes.
1t was then that the city was evacuated
and turned over to the invading army,
both races seeking safety in flight.
Rev. Lewis has long favored chang
ing the date to April 9th, when the
slaves really gained their freedom. AS
result of this change, he says, the
day would not only be one marking
national event, over which the negro
may well be joyful, but there would
be no more celebration of time Of
darkness and hardship that few OF
either race should care to have re-
called to mind in such fashion.
But the wishes OF Rev. Lewis on
this subject have been entirely dsre-
garded. Even an effort to have a
mass-meeting of colored citizens to
vote on the proposed change has fall
len through. In consequence, Rev
Lewis will have very little, if anything
to do with the celebration on April
Sd. He has taken no part In the pre-.
parations.

Stanton Lawyer Declares c. &
o. Is Violating 2-Cent Rate
in Virginia.
APPEALS TO COMMISSION
Car Surplus on r6r Roads Oil Feb
ruary 10TH Amounted to
32o,513.
APPEALS TO COMMISSION

Mr. Turner X. Hickman, an attorney
at law of stanton. forwarded to the
State Corporation Commission a bill OF
complaint against the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company for refusal to
sell him ticket at Alexandria TO
stanton for train No. 1. compelling
him, in order to get to Stanton on
that train, to buy u ticket on to Cow
ington ut an additional cost OF s1.4o.
Mr. Hickman alleges that the action
OF the road Is violation of the 2-cent
rate rule in force In Virginia.
1t seems that the Chesapeake and
Ohio does not indicate a stop at Alex
andria for train No. l., and In order TO
take on passengers there must be
tagged. and the road desgnates the
stations for which this train will be
tagged. and Stanton is not one OF the
stations. Many persons bound for
Washington have discovered the adj
vantage of buying ticket to Alexan-
dria at 2 cents mile. and then paying
% cents to the conductor to go on to
Washington. Returning. they ride out
to Alexandria by ,rolly ahead OF time.
and buy there 2-cent rate ticket on
to their destination in Virginia. Mr..
Hickman alleges that No. l Is sched-
uled not to stop in Alexandria so as to
delay people and make them take the
late night train. and thus to discourage
the business. He holds that II Is
subterfuge to prevent the enforcement
of the 2-cent rate, and he asks the
commission to interpose. 1t Is an in
terestlng question.

determined by latter events.
This will be MIR. Bryanls third visit
months. He came here during the Con-
federate Reunion in May. Although he
made no public address. except at the
Y. NJ. c, A. meeting on Sunday. his APP
pearance in the streets created some
enthusiasm. as well as some resent
ment among those who cortended that
he was not legitimate part of the vet
Grams celebration. There was no at
tempt on the part OF Mr.. Bryan. how
over, to monopolize attention. his bear
| ing at all times being dignifIed. In
deed. he endeavored TO take but minor
part in the demonstration OF the old
soldiers.
Address ut State Fair.
When he delivered an address at the
State Fair in October. the Nebraskan
statesman failed to fire the Democratic
heart. Not all OF the crowd in the
grounds that day went to hear his
speak. and though he received the most
courteous treatment and attention.
there was an absence OF the Bryan en-
thusasm of former days. One reason
for this, perhaps. was the fact that his
speech was the counterpart of some
| former platform lectures. Had he cut
away from the text, conditions might
have been different.
Always digniified the Senate did not
give expression to Its feelings on sat
urday when the telegram from Mr..
Bryan. saving that he would speak
here on March 25th. was read. bu.
in the House. The former nominee OF
the party has beaten off much of the
opposition which has existed in the
past. and it appears to be admitted
generally that ne will be named as the
standard beared for the third time.
The impression hereabout Is that the
Richmond address will have the eff
feet of forcing the convention to in
struct it's delegation. Still there is a
respectable minority which would much
prefer a safe and saner leader of a
different type.

The chief thought behind the Or
