An infrmity of the colored
race and one which it should
strive to overcome, is the ten
dency of its members to side in
almost any case with each other
without regard to the merits Of
the question involved. 1t is dis
couraging to see the colored
Methodist bishops in session in
Washington giving expression to
sympathy with the negro soldiers
who shot up Brownsville and to
see that a negro mass meeting
there, Tuesday night, after hav-
ing been addressed by at least
two bishops adopted resolutions
demanding the restoration to the
army of the soldiers involved in
the Brownsville affair. Colored
meetings at many places at diff
erent times have expressed like
sympathy and the matter has
been carried by this race into
politics, to the injury of Secreta-
ry Taft who is known as the
choice of the President for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton all this in defiance of the
fact that the Presidents dismis-
sal Of these troops from the SER
vice was based upon evidence
which convinced him of their
| guilt and the consequent right
eousness of his action, and the
further fact the weight of the
testimony taken by the Senate
committee on military affairs
tended to show the guilt of the
soldiers, and the still furtherfact
that the committee named MOI

The members of the East Dur.
hamI Lodge of Pythians have
passed resolutions favoring' the
establishment of an orphsnage
by that organization in their
midst and have gone to work to
offer something more substantial
in the way of a site for the insti.
tuition. This is a good offer and
it is to be hoped will induce the
location of the orphanage.

The Observer is correct from
its viewpoint, but there is anoth-
,er. Mr.. Roebling seemed to
think the idea of prohibition ut
terly absurd and ridiculous.
Finding the community was 60
ing to have it anyway, he up
and gave away his property and
departed, saying in effect if not
in words that he would not abide
in a community peopled & by
cranks. 1t was Mr.. Roebling's
privilege to 60 or stay and no
man has a right to criticise his
personal preference. But when
by his conduct, if notify hiswords
he says in effect: ''I'm a wealthy
man: I've done much for your
community and want to do more;
but one thing must be under
stood; you must permit the sale
of liquor to continue here or I'll
leave: no matter what the ma
jority of our people want or how
they feel about it. If you don't
let me have my way in this mat
ter I'll leave and other men will
be kept away by my going. 1"
When he took this attitude there
was one thing for self respecting
people to say, regardless of their
views on prohibition. and that
was: Get you gone!" God for
bid that the day should ever come
when one millionaire, or ten
thousand millionaires, can die
tate to a community about any
matter. If one man or a
half dozen men are not. pleased
with the attitude of a community
it is their privilege to endeavor
to work a change in public SEN
ment. Failing in this it is their
privilege to leave IF they can't
stand it. We are sure the OBJ
server did not mean to imply
that any community should be
subservient to the views of any
man or set of men because of
their money or for any other rea-
son. But Mr.. Roebling elected
to leave Asheville purely be-
cause the town voted for prohi-
bition and the manner of his 60
ing left the impression that he
thought he was getting even
with somebody. That being so
there is nothing to say to Mr..
Roebling but go-and joy and
peace go with him. We would
say the same thing, under similar
circumstances, if Mr.. Roebling
had elected to leave Asheville
because the town had voted wet.

The Editors Trials.

The following from the Cor
nelius News-Reporter illustrates
one of the many troubles editors
have. Says the Reporter: 1--WE
have..incurred the ill-will of and
lost the patronage of two of our
subscribers, so we are informed,
becausewepublished thenames of
the attendants at a dance recent
ly given at or near Huntersville.
AS we are informed these two
parties are members of a church
which forbids its members this
form of worldly pleasure, and
therefore they objected to the
publication of their names and
are so indignant that they have
severed their names from our
subscription list for a punish
ment to US for betraying their
disobedience and exposing them
to the danger of being lectured
by their pastor. While on the
other hand we are raked over
the Goals for emitting the names
of two other attendants at the
same dance. which we did unin-
tentionally, as their names were
not given to US by the person
who gave us the list. 1t is need
less to say that the two last men,
toned are not church members
and that they had no ,scruples
about their act attending the
dance. When an editor gets in
to a scrape like this he has the
satisfaction of knowing that he
has the sympathy of his fellow
editors, for they have all been
there. " Yes, indeed, we've all
been there. Any editor of ex-
perience could write a book on
this sort of thing. 1t takes a d.
plor1at to edit a newspaper: and
live entirely in peace with his
people. The best thing to do.
however. is to be utterly indie
pendent. Be just, honest, fair.
If you wrong one, make repara-
ton. But at all times stand on
your dignity and do not permit
the threatened loss of a sub.
scriber to move you to do things
that your good sense and con.
science do not approve. There
always have been and always
will be complainers, grumblers,
mouthers. The sooner you lei
them know you are utterly indif'
'erent as to their patronage Of
good opinion. that it is not mat
ter Ct moment with you whether
they are alive or dead, the bet.
ter. for as soon as these sort Of
folks find they can't run yor
they have some respect for you

SHERIFF SELLS COPPER
BELLE TO BOSTON MAN

TUCSON, Aug. 3.-The property OF
the Copper Belle Mining company at
Gleason has been sold at sheriff's sale
to satisfy a judgment rendered in the
district court against it in favor of
John Gleason amounting to $21,O0O,
which was held as a mortgage. There
was also a second mortgage, which
was bought in by the purchaser. The
total amount paid was in close prox-
unity to $4,000, with costs and inter-
ests.
The property was purchased by Ma
than L. Amster, the Boston capitalist.
The sale of this mine terminates a
long fight for the possession of one of
the most valuable properties in the
territory.
The Copper Belle was first owned by
a woman who neglected to do ASSESS
ment work, after which John Gleason
relocated the mine-about twelve years
ago. Gleason held the mine on his
own account for about two years. and
then sold it to New York people, who
organized a company, many of the
stockholders being cooks and walters.
Gleason received some cash, but ac-
cepted stock in the company for the
greater part of the price, and was
made it's superintendent. The mine
was developed to a depth of 300 feet
and a very large body of silver and
copper ore was opened up.
The company worked the mine for
ten months, sending it's ore to the
smelter at Ell Paso.

MINING
ENGINEERS LEASE NETS
$4,000 IN ONE MONTH

The wonders of the Engineers lease
on the Florence at Goldfield have been
told many times, but the property Is
such an immense affair that nothing
like it has been discovered up to date
in the Goldfeld district. 1t may be
likened to a jewel box with the set
tings eliminated.
The first shipment was made on
June II, the ore going out at the rate
of about two carloads day, ana
avera ging about 5000 ton. The ore
shoot has been proved up for dis
tance of sixty feet on the upralse from
the 3OO-foot level. The high-grade por-
tion of the vein is fully three feet wide,
and this is only what is being broken.
Just how much of medium and nigh
grade has not been determined, as
that will be left for the Florence Gold
field company to handle when the mill
is started.
The three mining ngineers-Taylor.
Price and Niven-who own the ground
and operating 1t, are going after the
rich ore. The lease has a little less
than four months to run, and ore that
would be clasSed as high-grade in any
camp in the world is not looked at.
Some of it is broken in shooting down
the high-grade and is left where 1t
falls, The second dividend. Of $4,000
has lust been declared, and there Is
enough money in the treasury to pay
another.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK. August 3.-Leaders of
stock market movement rely more on the
Monday market to show how much response
to their leadership has been attracted from
the world outside of Wall street than on
any other index The explanation is found
in the proneness of the man Of affairs to
begin new undertakings with the opening
of the week, or with the beginning Of some
similar defined period
Many important commission houses send
out at the end of the week reviews Of the
market and forecast of the prospects that
are more detailed and elaborate than
the daily information sent out.
AS a consequence Monday nerning often
finds an accumulation of orders in commls-
sion houses for execution that represents

in stocks to take advantage of these new

MONTHLY STATEMENT
OF THE PUBLIC DEBT

WASHINGTON, August S.-The monthly
statement of thep ublc debt shows that at
the close of business July 81, 1908, the debt
less cash in the treasury amounted to $685.
SO9S23, which is an increase for the month
of 500. .677, Ala.
The cash in the treasury is classified
after:
Gold reserve $3.50, 100000
Trust funds s1.307.7 .715.S69.
General fund s197212.664.
In national bank deposftaries $3.50, $50, 744.

are demand liabilities outstanding amount
ing to S1,437 4O9,S56. Which leaves a cash
balance of s353.62s.17S
The apparent increase in the public debt
is accounted for by the loss of cash in the
treasury which during July amounted TO
nearly $50, 900, 000 This loss was occasioned
by the large increase of expenditures over
receipts and also on account of the redemp-
tion of the notes of the failed liquidatlng
and the reducing Of circulation of national
banks.
