Idlers Should Be Got Rid OF.

The man who skillfully avoids en-
ployment and prefers to live by his
wits is menace to any people. and
the sooner community is rid Of such
the better 1t is for all. That class
among the Negro is causing more
hardship for the whole race than any
other.-Spokane Citizen.
Uncle Sans Popular cavaIrymen.
1t is refreshing to note the kindly
manner In which the good people of
the New England states are receiving
the Tenth United States cavalry in its
various maneuvers from town to town.
Officers Of high rank as well as their
subordinates have not been slow in
showing due courtesy to these heroic
warriors at any stage Of their trium-
plant march since they arrived from
the Philippine Islands.

1.-THE convention was one of the fin-

treated the delegates royalty. The wei
coming address was made by the may
or of the city, who was loud In his
praise Of the colored citizens Of that
city, who. he declared, were second
to none in the country. The one OBJ.
ject for which we had hoped and
worked failed-viz. the consolidation
of the two factions. the Howard and
the Adkins. 1t was demonstrated that
the latter had gained both financially
and numerically since the last conven-
ton, while the former had not. The
convention was attended daily by
thousands both white and colored.
The membership consists of larger
percentage of professional men than
