NEGRO LEADERSHIP.

Rev. Sylvester L. Caruthers
will address the National Inde-
pendent Political League next
Monday evening at Galbraith
Church. His subject is ''The New
Negro and the Type of Leader
ship the Times Demand" This
address will be new departure.
1t will be full of eloquence and
pointed phrases, that DR.. Caruth-
ers can utter when he has a sub
iect to address. He has a poor
opinion of the present political
leadership, and in his coming adj
dress he means to tell the people
the kind and character of leader
ship the colOred Americans de-
mand today.
If the present leadership is not
up to the standard, DR.. Caruthers
will tell you so, and point out its
defects. The meeting next Mon
day night will be largely attended
with his followers and men who
believe in a new Independent
leadership in this country among
cOlOred Americans.

The thesis he submitted for his doc

played q very creditable knowledge Of
che history of Portuguese literature.
On account OF the dangers that
hedge his throne, his education was
conducted In the palace, ard its
scheme was not generally understood,
and consequently misrepressnted. It
was apprehended that he was being
trained as student and recluss rath-
er than as king. Not long ago, there
fore, he visited the University Of
Coimbra and was received In state
By the professors and uproariously By
the students.

Brother Chase on the Negro Editor.

-
(From the Reformer, Va.)
We have just read w Calvin Chase
on the negro editor. Brother Chase
draws pen picture of the negro edi-
tor and sums him up as a cowardly
syCOphant without views, trucking
fer favOrs. Brother Chase remarks
that the negro editor will take a po-
sitiOn to-day and recede from it to-
morrow if it serve his purpose. For
gives the wrongs and pardons the in
fanny heaped upon his foe for the hope
of reward. He tells you to be patient
with the wolves that devour you.
BROTHER Chase sums up by sizing up
the average negro editor as an opin-
IOnleSS coward with the price upon
his head. The Independent quite
agrees with Col. Chase in his ConClu-
slOns and indOrses what he SAYS when
he elabOrates that there are only
about a half dozen negro editors in
the country who have opinions of
their own and the moral courage to
express them. It IS quite true, too, as
Brother Chase continues, that these
few editors who dare express opinions
OF their own and make legitimate crit
icisms of the public conduct of pub
lie officials are called defamers of
character and fighters for everybody
and everything
The negro editor in this country
who has the moral courage to stand
up and give expression to manly views
has a hard road to travel He is put
down as an enemy to the public well
fare because he ESSAYS to expose
crime and immortality in high places.
Because he locates and points out the
traitors TO the race he is called a
chronic kicker. Brother Chase, you
are right.

Cheering Her Up.

Isltngton, which is no longer rural,
was once so esteemed by medical men
that they sent their patients there
after severe Illness. Many also went
there in the last stages in the forlorn
hope that the invigorating air might
restore them to health. A story re-
lated by Or. Abernethy turns on the
latter class of visitors. One Of his
patients engaged some rooms IA Is

THAT FAKE ASSOCIATION.

There has been a fake press as

there are colored editors fools

men, in Washington failed. 1t
failed Just like a thousand white
banks have failed, and do fail, in
this twentieth century. With the
wOeful lack of bank experience on
the part of its promoters and off
GERS, 1t IS a marvel that it stood as
long as it did. The life of this
bank, however, tho it failed, con-
stItutes a tribute to the ability of
Negroes rather than reflection
upon their ability. This bank was
the pioneer financial institution of
the race. Since its failure, profit
ing by that failure, cOlOred men in
different parts of the country
have established thirty-odd banks.
and are maintaining them in a
tlOurishing condition. But tho
nearly ten years have passed since
that bank went down in the crash
Of financial ruin, there are cOIored
men here today who every little
while, when they wish to traduce
some one, dig down into the grave
OF the past and resurrect this old
ghOst-the Capitol Savings Bank.
Why not let it remain buried! {!
Why not let the memory of it be-
come cankered over with forget
fulness! Why roam in the grave
yard of the past when we have the
beautiful park of future to stroll
in?
But there are but three classes
of men who resurrect this spectre
to frighten, intimidate, blackmail
and defeat hopeful men. They
are: First, the man who never
had one penny on deposit in that
bank, and never would have had
had the bank fiOurished until now
with one million of surplus to its
credit. Second, the man who was
indebted to that bank for borrow
ed money, which he has never paid
back nor has made any effort to
repay. Third, the man who blew
into Washington just about the
time, or Immediately at the time
the bank failed, and who knows.
nothing of it except from the
malicious gossip of the two first
named. The men who actually
lost money in that failure.
instead of dealing forever in
the antiquary past, have been
dealing in the future. They
have forgot the past in their
effort to accomplish something in
the future. But the man who new
er had a penny on deposit in the
bank, and the man who is yet to-
day a debtor to the bank, and
the man who blew In from
some sequestered town across
the Potomac about the time it
failed-these are the nondescripts
who ever and anon descend to the
grave of the past, and, with dia-
bOlical glee, drag forth the crum-
bling bones of the Capitol Saw
ings Bank, and, winding them in
a ghostly shroud, go forth to
frighten, intimidate, blackmail.
and defeat men who succeed in
spite of them.
But these three classes of men.
every time they descend into the
grave of the past for malicious
purposes, are digging their own
graves. People are sick and tired
of the past. The future that's
the slogan now.

City Chat

coRNTossEL, -JR!s, SPRING.
It makes me tired to hear them city
poets,
Who are all the time a-singin' the
joys of spring
Their hyfalutin' language goes to show
it's
Easy to get plum foolish on any,
thing.
l wonder if they'd 'preciate the gar
den,
If they had to grab hoe and get to
work
And at night climb into bed and write
regardin'
The bliss of havin' muscles that ache
and jerk?
I wonder If the cornfield 'ud be en-
ticin'
If they had to pillow it in the red-hot
And chore around at night till 1t look
ed like splicin'
Two big, long days into an everlastin
one?
I wonder if the silvery-th-oated song
sters,
What MARBLE in the tree-tops in the
morn,
Would make such a hit with this bunch
of natures sponsors,
If 1t routed them out of bed, dead tired
and worn?
guess the trees and flowers and
things are pretty,
And the cornfields and the gently wav-
ing hay;
But the Teller that writes about them
in the city,
Is the only Teller, / guess, that makes
EN- pay.
