American, damning his future.
Again, the gtatement made by
these two bishops, and others acting
with them, is ftlse. Neither of these
men control either the votes of the
ministers under them, or the lay mem
bers of their Congregations, much less
the Afro-AHIericans at large. They
have neither the influence nor the
confidence of their people. Each of
them stand ready to sell their So
called influence to the party that will
pay the most for it. There was a time
in the early history of these two
churches, when to be elevated to the
bishopric was distinguished honor
and men of the highest probity. noted
for. Their exceptional living and their
religious zeal, were only selected; but
in these latter years another class
seem to have taken their places-a
class of charlatans, whose only aim
it appears, is to line their pockets and
disgrace their race.
"The sooner this class is relegated
to the rear the better it will be for
both the church and this particular
denomination. The Philadelphia Tri

NORTHERN MAN on NEGRO
DOLLS.
The Feeling Of the Negro in the North
With Respect to Negro Dolls
for Negro Children.

'It would be interesting to quite a
number of people to. know just what
the attitude of the Northern Negro is
with respect to the welfare and condi-
ton of his brother in the South 1t
has always developed whenever the
test was put, whether North or South,
the better thinking Negroes are a unit
on matters effecting the welfare of the
race. Thus there seems to be only the
need of cultivating the opportunities
before them, and to take advantage of
circumstances that confront them
from time to time to draw them both
closer together, thereby benefiting the
whole race" said prominent Nash
Vile business man last week in COM
menting upon the Negro dolls and
their place in the future of the race.
These little matters as picked up by
the Globe reporter have their place
and influence upon the people.
The following is an extract from a
letter written from Philadelphia, Pa
showing Just what one Of the leading
men in that city thinks about the Ne
gro doll idea:
DR.. R. Fl. Boyd,
Nashville, Tenn.
Dear DR.. Boyd:-Through the New
York Evening Journal of September
%, learn that you are about to open
a factory for the manufacture of Ne
gro dolls. Colored dolls for colored
children have become almost mania
with me, and | am glad to know that
the idea is about to be realized and
would like to identify myself with the
enterprise. The few colored dolls that
have reached this country and that
are now on the market have been pur-
chased principally by white people for
white children About a year ago l
purchased one for my little daughter.
1t was of German make. Give them
colored dolls, elegant and refined in
features, hair curly, If you will, but
not kinky If they are encouraged to
love and be proud of such doll, they
will be instinctively imbibing race
pride and cultivating a more aesthet-
ic race idea, which will have salu-
tary effect later when they themselves
become mothers. Having met that
condition, and having made them
ideally beautiful Irresistible, the i'm
age of such a baby as they have
dreamed of being the mothers of them
selves, / would urge them to buy it be-
cause it would be the creditable and
sensible thing to do Further if pos
sible, l would get them out for this
Christmas trade. which would start
the factory under the best possible
condition to insure its quick success.
Hoping the enterprise may succeed, |
am, Yours truly,

A REMARKABLE CASE.
One of Natures Peculiar Workings
Revealed by Modern Sur

A colored woman of Somerville,
Tenn, was brought to the Wilson In.
firmary of this city last Thursday.
She has been suffering for nine years
from a painful swelling in the abdo-
men Like the woman in the Scrip
ture she had suffered many things of
many physicians. After a careful ex-
animation, an operation was decided
upon DR.. ]. T. Wilson, Chief Sur

outside the uterus, where it developed

THE METHODIST CHURCH IN POL
ITICS.

"The members of the A. M. Episco-
pal and A. M. E. Zion Churches, two
of the largest religious bodies among
us, must feel Inundated to have those
whom they have elevated to the high
est gift of the church, sit in the out
side room of the national political
headquarters, craving for an audi
ence with some member of the Nation
al Committee for aid, or button-holing
every politician who comes in and
goes out of the room, for money, or
exploiting the vast CD influence each
has in his particular branch of his
church, and how he can compel the
members of his conferences to do his
bidding by holding the rod over their
heads, having them understand that
if they do not do So they will suffer
in the future at his hand-through
them he expects to control the votes
of those who attend the churches Of
these religious bodies. Two of these
men have openly stated that it was
their purpose to turn their several
conferences which meet prior to cleo
| ton day, into political meetings in
stead of the work of the church, for
which purpose such conferences are
supposed to be held One of these
men, we are informed, is to receive
for his share in this work, $4,000, the
other $4,000 It is a burning disgrace
for these two great religious bodies to
have such things said of their bishops
men whom they have called to con-
duct the religious welfare of their
churches, begging, as it were, political
aims, not for the church, but for their
own pockets These men call them
selves the best opponents of thought

dependent, speak of race pride. of

themselves far below the political
