The first contest came at the after
noon session, when A NJ. Wailing of
David City, Neb.. vigorously protested
against the manner in which members
of the committee on credentials were be
ing chosen. He said no man had any right
to serve on that committee or hold a
seat in the convention unless he could
show proper credentials. MIR. Walling
averred that there We're many delegates
who We're self-appointed and had no Gre
dentials from any state or organization.
His protests were fruitless, and he was
voted down.

Notes Of Interest from the Ma

Benjamin Harrison.

FORT BENJAMIN HARRISON,
Ind, Sept. 1.-THE West Virginia
troops got down to the real work OF
soldering Monday when a big night
was on between the Blue and the
Brown Army. The two West Virgin
ia regiments fought against each
other and the work of both was
good.
General Scott. commander Of the
First Brigade. West Virginia National
Guard, was in command OF the
Browns and had consigned to his
command tfle Second West Virginia,
the First Fourth and Eighth. (col-
ored) Illinois. a battery Of Indiana
artillery and attachments of the
signal and hospital corps.

Harry b. Smith, Of the Second In
diana, who had assigned to him the
First West Virginia, the First. Sec
ond and Third Indiana, battery Of
Indiana artillery and detachments of
the hospital and signal corps.
Some $1,000 rounds of ammuni-
ton were used in the battle. The
regulars encamped here did not par
ticipate but their officers acted as
umpires.
The barracks at Fort Benjamin
Harrison are quite Interesting to the
militiamen encamped here. Having
been recently constructed they are
modern In every respect and furnish
excellent quarters for the troops
permanently stationed here.
The West Virginia troops reached
here without special Incident early
Friday morning. BY evening they
were established in their quarters
and ready to hold their own with any
other state troops encamped here.
Saturday the West Virginia troops
did their first drilling. They did well
too, notwithstanding several of the
companies are new and this is their
first encampment, Sunday was
quiet, as nothing but inspections
was on the boards.

this failure presents to our coun-

The Negro has not failed, he
has not proven himself incapable.
He has, on the contrary, shown
amazing power to rise out of the
awful ignorance imposed upon
him by the savage conditions of
his native land, and later by the
white race.
And now comes the discovery,
by an archeologist, of a buried
city in Abyssinia which brings to
light treasures of art and shows
indications of a high state of civ
lization once enjoyed by the Ne
gro races or prehistoric times.
1t is the first ray of light which
history or science has ever off

their inherited qualities. Always
has it been insisted upon that they
were hopeless savages from the
earliest start, and that any excep-
ton only proved the rule.

new hope and courage to know
that its original state was one OF
