ed With an iron bar.
A carpenter pamed Alfonso Price hes
been arrested and is being held on suspi-
ciou. Price has eeveral bruises about
the face which, it is claimed by the po-
| CO, be hal not satisfactorily explained.
Il is also said ltat be has not told a
sraight story regarding his whereabou s
Saturday night.
EfJrts to wiring q confession from
Price have thus fer proved Intellectual,

The police claim that there was some
ground for the a,tcck of Price, as it is
believed st ne bad bten paying a,ten-

that existed between bis wife and the

Communicated.

The following communication has
been handed us for public alton by a
dyed-in-the-wool Maryland Democrat
who believes in practical politics that
the successful party is entitled to the
rewards. Mr.. Howard believes that
pledges are made to be carried out and
that political promise is as binding
as any other kind of promise. 1t is
a democratic pow-wow and if the scalp
ing knife is unsheathed the pledge
breakers will have to look out for their
political scalps. The ante election re-
former seems to be a different genus
from the post-election fellow.

AT meeting called by the Democrat
County Chairman, at idaho Springs on
Tuesday p. m. Nov. 18th 1908 of the
county officers elected and the pre-
cinct committeeman of the county for
consultation it was proposed and adopt
ted that all county officers elected
where they had appointments to make
should appoint no one but well known
Democrats and they have fulfilled their
oblga. lions except the County Com
missioners who appointed the Boss So
cialist of Lawson in preference to
several well known Democrats who
made application for the position and
whereas the Democrats of this pre-
cinct did not vote to favor socialists in
preference to one of their own party, l
hereby notify all other Democratic
committee men and all other Demo-
Gratis of Clear Creek county to take
notice of how our board of county
commissioners regard their obliga-
tions to the Democratic party that
elected them.

Negroes Throughout Nation Need New
Birth Of Civic consciousness.
The Rev. r. g. Ransom In a stirring
sermon at Bethel church, New York,
few nights ago said:
Negroes pay taxes through rents
and directly through the ownership Of
much property. Yet upon the police
force. in the fire department, In the
parks, ETC., we are practically without
representation In the army Of city en-
ployees. In municipal affairs party
names should count for less and less.
The Negroes throughout this nation
need birth Of civic consciousness.
These fusion or reform administra-
tons have had small use for our peo-
pie. What We want is not pat on
the back and an election day cigar,
but hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
Of the city's money for services per-
formed as employees in the various
departments. We want influence with
the school board, the police, fire. park
and water departments. We do not
want political meetings in our church
es, but churches which will meet the
politicians with righteous demands"

That the colored race is going ahead
rapidly and that the Ethiopian move
ment begun in this country will even
tually drive the white man out Of At
rica Is the firm belief Of Rev. Innocent
Fendle, missionary for ten years in
Kwiro, province of Upogoro, Africa.
who Is now in the United States. Fa-
ther Hendle came to America to visit
a friend in Texas and has also visited
the various Benedictine monasteries In
this country.
II feel certain" said Father Hendle
recently, that all Of Africa will pass
from under the white mans rule.
The movement Is constantly gaining
strength, which some years ago began
in America and which is known as the
Ethiopian movement. The plans are
controlled by secret society, and the
idea is to get control of South Africa
and move toward the interior The
Mohammedans, and there are many
Negroes that belong to that faith, are
to move down from the north and join
those coming up from the south. The
white man can never hope to with
stand them, and already central Africa
is entirely In the hands Of the Negro.
The base Of operations is Zanzibar.
German East Africa will be the first
to fall into the hands Of the colored
people, and, strange to say, the Ger.
man government itself is doing much
to weaken, unconsciously perhaps, its
own power there. 1t maintains
number Of free schools, where the
Mohammedans attend and are encour-
aged in their religion.
British East Africa will be the next
to succumb. But the fight here will
be terrible, for England will have her
soldiers from India to call upon and
render her assistance. The accounts
In the daily papers Of uprisings in
East Africa are not exaggerated.
myself had to take part in two wars.
The first was in 1893, when the upris-

German natives took place. Then
there was the war against the white

only sixty-seven soldiers in the mis-

to fight against 1900 natives. l kill

being obliged to fight with the soldiers.
The Christian natives. of course,
fought with us. Our three mission
ary districts were besieged ten months,
and 1t took ten months before we got
help from the home government"

TO DETERMINE
RESPONSIBILITY
Wreck of the Republic VIII be De-
termined by Court OF
Admiralty.

NEW YORK Jan. 27.-That the re-
sponsibility for the collision between
the liner Republic and Florida will
be settled in an admiralty cour was
the decision of the White Star officials
today. P. A. Franklin, vice president
of the White Star company, said the
facts of the collision will be threshed
out in the courts. I'VE will sue the
owners of the Florida and they will
probably sue us He would issue no
statement relative to the blame for
the collision.
Captain Fenton of the Standard Oil
line, made report that he reac cd
the scene of the wreck at $40 on the
morning of the disaster and said he
offered his services t they We're de-
clined. AS to the report stated the
Republic could have been saved,
Franklin was questioned AS to this but
refused to answer.
