Price Of Meat Raised In Australia.

Owing to the abundance and cheap
ness Of meat in Australia restaurant
keepers have for years been able to
give astonishingly liberal meals for
IL cents. But they are not satisfied
with the margin Of profit and they
have decided in conference to raise
the price to IA cents. One OF the rea'
sons assigned for this step is the "ab'
normal appetltes" Of their customers.
It is the hospitable custom in Austria
lian popular restaurants not to charge
for a second helping Of anything, and
you can have as many cups OF tea as
you please after having paid for the
first one. 1t is the freedom with which
this privilege--unknown In America
is exercised that cuts down the profits.

The organization OF a Negro party
in Cuba, strictly within the provis-
ions of the electoral law, has created
an extraordinary sensation, this being
the first time the negroes have taken
such step in Cuba. According 10
Gen. Estenoz's letters to Col. Crowd
er, head of the commission which
framed the new election laws, they
intend to present their candidates, not
only for all vacant places in the SEN
ate and house, but for president and
vice president Of the republic.
Public opinion attaches much I'M
| portance to the fact that the negro
| party chooses a horse as its sign TO
be placed on the ballot, which is gen
orally construed as a revolutionary
threat
In spite of the fact that for many
months it has been rumored that the
negroes were working for a political
organization, yesterdays announce
merit Of the formation of the indepen-
dent association Of negroes took the
whites by surprise
The Diario de Ia Marina asks what
the United States government will do
now that there is so much more grave
race problem here. The negroes
are going to the elections of Novem-
Der Il organized against the whites,
and a black military republic similar
to Haiti is looked upon as a possible
result The Diario adds that the
whites will be forced to organize
themselves also in seIf-defence. Other
papers recognize that the new party
considerably reduces the forces of
both the conservatives and the liber-
ais. Knowing the strong race spirit
that exists among the negroes, little
doubt is expressed that the new party
will control majority Of the negro
vote
a fiery manifesto has been issued
by Gen. Estenoz in his newspaper, La
Provision. He says that the revolu-
tionS in Cuba were never so sweep
ing as were needed, but that the next
will be. After a savage attack on
Americans for lynching negroes, he
accuses some Cuban traitors" of in
citing Americans to act against the
negroes here, but says that the latter
know how to fight.

along all lines, his final success IS
assured.
In this upward struggle, he has as
before had the sympathy and help Of
thousands of the best men in the
country. I would urge a continuous
cultivation of this friendship by con-
duct and by sanity of expression,
avoiding the attitude of the trucker,
having contempt for the coward, no
less tlan putting behind you at all
times the violently radical, who either
knowingly or unwittingly widens the
breach between the two races and
harms both.

the things for which they wrought
are luminous and instinct with life,
and that their undying principles lay
hold on individuals and governments
when they wouldstray and lift them
to higher thoughts and nobler aims.
Those men who preached for justice
and equality before the law gave in
spiration to a race emerging from the
wilderness, less than half a century
ago, and four million freedmen fol-
lowing their preachments, apprecia-
tive Of their efforts, have marched
toward progress and better day.
In order that this might be fully ac-
c1nplished, legislation was necessary
&c protect these people in theerjcy-
ments of their rights and privileges,
enabling them to succeed.
The freedom of these people was
accomplished in the clash of battle.
\ change il, The social fabri- was
made by tic stern arbitrament OF
arms. Legislation was necessary lhat
the Negroes status might be fully fixed
i'll the government. Men saw that
for him there was no real liberty
Until he was panoplied with all the
rights of an American citizen. Then
came the passage Of the War Amend
ments, the first of which made legal
the Emancipation Proclamation and
prevented the putting into force the
yagrancy laws passed by the Southern
States, which in effect reduced the
Negro to a condition of bondage.
This legislation had in view the
prohibition of peonage, which has
grown to such enormous proportions
and which iniquity is being stamped
out vigorously by the administration
Of President Roosevelt.
The I4th Amendment fixed for the
first time in the History Of the Am
erican Republic the Constitutional
requirements for citizenship and pro-
vided for the penalization OF such
States as might undertake to disfran-
chise the race.
The 18th Amendment sought 70
make still more secure the Negro
right to vote and provided for a Con-
gressional method Of enforcing that
right.
The justification OF these War
| Amendments is to be seen in the sub
sequent efforts to deprive loyal
faithful class of that which should be
the inaienable right Of every citizen

result OF real worth and merit which
speaks for itself and demands its
