II may be that President Roosevelt
and Secretary TAFT do not know of
the treatment TO which the respecta-
BILE. property-hoIding Negroes OF this
State are being treated by their fol-
lowers. Some effort should be made
to acquaint them with the facts and
the Republican National Committee
should also be advised of the situa-
ton. We are surprised that a pro-
test was not made and drafted Sat
urday night. The only proper way
to meet organization is with counter
organization.
We do not propose to be humilia-
ted by any such processes and If the
colored men of Richmond have lost

The report of the Committee on
Military Affairs relative to the shoot

made TO the United States Senate
Wednesday. March IL. 1905 was
highly significant. President Roose-
welt deemed TO necessary to send "a

Senator Warren speaking for the

that matters concerning their pay

THE LILY WHITES" IN VIRGIN
IA.

The Republican Mass-Meeting for
the election OF delegates TO the State
and District Conventions of the Re
publican Party held at Belvidere Hall
in this city last Saturday night was
peculiarly significant and for brazen
effrontery in openly telling the col
ored voters of this city that they
were not wanted, save to ratify any
action that the white men of the
party had mapped out will stand
forth as one of the most remarkable
happenings in the city of Richmond.
The claim has been made by con-
servative Democrats and Republicans
that the idea was not to get rid OF
the Negro as a voter, but only TO elm
mate the ignorant masses and TO en-
trust the ballot to the intelligent pro-
perty-owning elements of both races.
Those colored folks who believed all
this had a rude awakening last Sat
urday light. Colored men who own
ed enough property to double and
treble that owned by a dozen white
men there claiming 10 be Repubii-
cans were ANONYMOUSLY denied the
right of voice and in the general
summing up, no attention was even
given to their votes.
Senator Noel was invited TO speak
and Democratic white men went TO
hear him. They were counted as
Republicans, so we are informed in
the general makeup. We cannot
understand how a Republican of the
Judge L. l.. Lewis type could lend
either his presence or his voice to
such an arrangement.
Mr. W. p. BuTrell. Grand Worthy
Secretary of the True Reformers was
insulted and told to sit down under
threat of being put out by the police.

In Washington. ID. c., after a short i'll

senator's son, Governor Fletcher Proc

the senator passed away Senator
Proctor was seventy-seven years old.
The senator had been i'll and con-

week. His ailment was diagnosed as
the grip, which later developed into
pleurisy with pneumonia compiled

which in his enfeebled condition prov.

Receiver For Railroad Company.


A bill was filed in the u. S. circuit

For more than forty years. the col

endeavoring TO secure the constitu-
