something over 100000 members

If Elkdom is a good thing for
the white man it is perhaps like

good things of this world.
They are not as we understand
it trying to break in white lodges

He reJoiced in the high average
attained by the Negro in educa-

eloquently for an equal chance
and fair play for the worthy Am

oused his hearers to a high pitch
of enthusiasm when he declared
his wish that the black man
should have political equality of
opportunity and all the liberties

He said that both races are here,
and they will remain here, and
that it is absurdly for anyone to

THE COST OF BUILDING
A CREAMERY.

During the past few years there
have been built in the United
States several thousand cream
cries, many OF which have been
successful from the start, while
others have failed after a few
months operation, and soncwere
never even started.
An investigation of the cream
cry business in several States by
the United States Department OF
Agricultural has shown that the
cause of many OF the failures was
due to lack of sufficient number
oil cows, which should not be less
than 400. and that others failed be
cause OF improper organization, in

savings in the Freedmen's Bank
has been reported favorably to
the House by the Committee on
Banking and Currency. 1t has

The bill came in response to
the long-standing claims of eX-
slaves who deposited their money
in the Freedman's Bank which
was established under govern

Of colored people soon after the

that the law was clearly class

Social Equality

. The bugbear of social equality
came in for an unmerciful skin
ming" at the hands of Mr.. Camp
bell. His remarks were all the
morts, vrtient because OF the fool
ism newspaper racket made over
the recent dinner in New York
in which white and colored set
Element workers participated. Mr.

people in certain sections OF the
country that ii man cast his
vote in the same precinct and
rides in the same car with a Ne

class of people had befogged the
nation with that cry for a quart
er of century and had used it 10
frighten the timed white, i'll order
to rob the Negro of his civil and
political rights, which were as
distinct from social equality as
night and day.
The speaker paid a royal trib-
ute to the loyalty of the Negro in
all the wars of the republic, and
extolled the creditable produce
tions Of Paul Laurence Dunbar,
Henry O. Tanner and the lead
ers of the race in the work OF
education, at the bar and in the
world of business. Mr.. Campbell
was repeatedly applauded during
his address and as he sat down
he was given an ovation which
lasted several minutes. His
speech was pronounced the best
that hod been heard from a Cau-
casion in many a day, and it was
refreshing to find that the Negro
people had such strong and un-
compromising advocates OF lib
erty and civic Righteousness
among the race. Congressman
c. +. Scott and Edward Madison
were introduced and made brief
and witty remarks, echoing the
broad humanitarian sentiments OF
Mr.. Campbell.
The meeting was called to

chairman of the committee on
arrangements. The introductions
were performed most felicitously
