to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, The same, no more,
no less than white men possess;
and to a voice in the government,
state and national, exactly as other
citizens enjoy.
We do not ask at you hands any
special favors; we ask at the bar of
this Christian nation nothing to
which we are not entitled under
the law and constitution. We ask
only for that which belongs to us
as right, for Justice, for equality of
freedom of action and opportunity
before the law and in industrial
life of the land North and South
alike.
We ask for fair treatment. that
we may, like other races, make the
most and best of ourselves, that
we may rise or fall on our merit
like other men in the political and
industrial life of the republic.
We cannot do this unless we
and our children are given equal
opportunity with other people to
get an education at the pdblic eX-
pense, unless we are given equal
voice with all classes in making
the laws; unless our labors are
given chance to obtain work with
all other laboring classes in the in
dustrial syetem of the nation.
These things are not only neces-
sary to the highest good Of our
race, but to the highest good of
our common country as well; for
be it forever born in mind by all,
white and black alike, that the
freest and most intelligent labor is
the most productive. This also is
truth worth remembering, name
ly that labor class in an indus
trial Republic like ours. deprived
of the right to vote or a voice in
the government is at the mercy of
other laboring classes which pos
sess that right and that voice; in
deed, at the mercy of all thus
privileged.
Now, badly as this race as la
Dor class needs the ballot, needs
education at the public expense,
needs industrial opportunities to
sell its labor freely like other class
es in the Republic, in the South
by one device or another it is al
most universally deprived of the
right to vote. In many cases our
children are denied equal privi-
leges, and the whole race in the
North and South is deprived of
equal industrial freedom to obtain
work with other labor classes.
We appeal to the friends of hu-
manity to use their influence to
rid this glorious country of mob
violence, which is sending so many
to an untimely grave.
We appeal to all who believe in
fair play to assist us in the Danish
ing from our land the peonage and
convict labor systems, which are
degrading and destroying the very
vestige of manhood and relegating
them to the most calling serfdom.
We appeal to the liberty-loving
men in authority to lend us their
assistance by influence, by legisla.

United States of America, we send
greetings to our communicates in
particular and the race in general.
We, first of all, desire to render
thanks to Almighty God for hav-
ing preserved US in the midst of

aud for the marvellous progress we
have been enable to achieve. We
congratulate the race upon the re-
ligious, moral, intellectual and fl
nancial advancement that has been
made, in spite of great difficulties
and felicitate ourselves in the
splendid showing of our progress
in the churches, our schools, our
numerous homes and other insti-
tutions
We are thankful to the friends.
North, South, East and West, who
have aided us in any degree in
reaching our present stage of adj
vancement. We congratulate our
selves upon this great religious
movement which has brought us
together.
One is reminded of the religious
convocation of other centuries, the
early convocations of the Christian
church. councils in which Glenn
.ent of Alexandria, Irenius, Jerome,
Oregiu, Cyprain, Augustine, Ter
tulian and the early fathers sat;
great men, pious men, Jealous men
who shaped the destiny of the
Christian church, so far as its doc
trine and its ecclesiastical policy
was concerned.
We too, are shaping the destiny
of the great American church,
which is to be one of the largest
and most influential which the
world has ever seen. America will
only be the home of this great
church, but Africa is to be the scene
of its great operations. May the
good Lord help us to realize oul
responsibility and our duty to this
future church.
We hail with delight the tidal
wave of temperance now sweeping
over the country and feel assured
that our race will not be the least
among its beneficiaries and pro
moters. We heartily commend
all efforts being made to rid oul
common country of the rum traffic
and we pledge this righteous move
ment our hearty support, and take
this occasion to urge our people
especially those who are qualified
to vote, to give the cause their uni
ted support until this evil is driv
en- from the land.

Mike Newman, the well known
promoter of New York, was in Bos-
ton a few days ago on business
relative to the monument that the
sporting people are to erect over
George Dixon's grave. 1t was Mr..
Newman who started the move
ment, and he has about 100000
row on hand. After a conference
with Undertaken Hutching who
buried the boxer MIR. Newman
found that the grave in which Dix
on lies in Mount Hope cemetery is
not large enough for the monu-
ment in view, so the plot contain
ing four graves is to be purchased.
The plan is to nave only Dixon's
body lie in the plot. which will
make the last resting place of the
little colored boxer very conspic-
ious. The design for the monu-
ment, which will be of granite, has
not yet been completed A bust
of the boxer and an inscription are
to be placed on it.

En3ig jim Jeffries has received an
offer from Fairbanks, Alaska, that
requests his to select four good
fighters for two twenty five-round
fights on July A Jefferies is to
pick these fighters from the feath-
erweight and lightweight classes
and is to referee the contest. 1t is
said that he has already selected
Cans as one and it is believed that
Joe will accept the offer. Out in
Alaska they are very anxious to
see Cans in the ring. The sports
of Alaska are said to have guaran-
teed that $4,000 will be forthcom-
ing for the two fights, for which
one-half will be split for the two
fights.

night at Aala Park, at which some six

ceived, about the only protests heard
two of the speakers launched into Eng

that language.

L.. II
lani, Motley making a lengthy speech
In which he called down the wrath of
the voters upon Republican and Demo
crat alike. He denounced Kuhio for
playing into the hands of the rich men
and neglecting the poor Hawaiians. He
compared the Democratic candidate to
the statue of -Kamehameha, his prom
ises making him out to be a great and
strong man, but one whom the voters
would find on careful examination to
be hollow and full of wind.
Motley attacked the land policy of
the Democrats because of the loss of
revenue it would be to the Territory,
and condemned the Republican policy
because through it the sugar planters
got the land and the Hawaiians got
nothing. He accused the Republicans
of Hawaii of attempting to defy the
Federal immigration laws and made
particular attack upon Kuhio for not
seeing that the Federal law regarding
the payment of Federal jurors was ex-
tended to Hawaii. 'FHe worked for
the rich men at Washington, but you
see that he did nothing for you, was

address.
