that If the Democrats carry the Leg
1slature, a jim crow car law will be
enacted, and constitutional amend
ment restricting the suffrage is sure
to be adopted. The only salvation
for the black man is to see to it that
Taft gets the electoral vote, that Had
ley is made Governor and the Legis-
latqre is Republican in both branch
es.
Judge Taft made an excellent i'm
preston upon the colored voters on
his visit last week, and they will
strain every nerve to give him the
state by as big majority as was given
Roosevelt four, years ago.

Unjust to Senator Foraker.
The colored men who are support
ing Mr.. Bryan do Senator Foraker a
rank injustice when they say that
they are following that course out Of
regard to Senator 'Foraker's wishes.
In the fight between the Republican
factions in Ohio, the bitter enemies
Of Senator Foraker attempted to
trump up charges against his ReDub-
licantsm. Why, then, should men
who possess friendship for and 10y
atty to the Senator use such an ar
gument as that when they we'll know
that such an argument will, if be-
lieved by many, result disastrously to
his political future.
Fnraker's Republicanism.
Senator Foraker is certainly a Re-
publican, and those who say that no
is encouraging the colored men to
vote the Democratic ticket are guilty
of questioning the sincerity Of Sena-
tor Foraker's declarations. Do they
moan that when he consented to take
the stump for the Republican ticket
that he did not intend to work to Sc
cure success to the Repu blican par
ty?
On the great questions that have
come before the country since he has
been in public life, Senator Foraker
has always taken a strong RepubIi-
can stand. He is a staunch defender
of the War Amendments and of all
measures that tend TO secure equal

During the night preparations were
made FOR race war of threatening

one of the hostile camps consisted
of Italians and the foreigners gath

including their wives and children,
about 500 persons. All day yesterday
these foreigners gathered in camp, af

by Americans for the wounding of

NO WAR BETWEEN
NICARAGUA AND HONDURAS

San Salvador July 2s.--In view of
the fact that the northern coast of
Honduras is occupied by the rebels.
Amapala is the only port left to Presi-,
dent Davlla. Honduras does not seem
to be paying much attention to the re-
cent peace conference at Cartaga.
There Is reason to believe that Presi-
dent Cabrera of Guatemala is still sup
porting the Honduran revolutionists.
Gen. Davila of Honduras has called
upon Salvador to keep eye upon activi-
ties of insurgents along the frontiel.
Salvador replied by saying she already
had captured many rebel refugees ana
that she would continue to follow
proper course in this regard.
Various Honduran revolutionists,
some of them more or less prominent
leaders. have been taken into custody
within the last few days in Salvadorean
territory.
Nothing is known here concerning
the rumor Of war between Honduras
and Nicaragua. The general opinion,
however. Is that there is no truth in
the report So far as is known cordial
relations exist between these two coun-
tries Nicaragua aiding Honduras in
every possible way to put down the
revolutionary movement in the latter
republic and by backing up the charges
made by the Honduran government
