TO ELIMINATE THE NEGRO.

The following editorial Is taken from
the New York Independent OF Aug. 25,
one Of the oldest and staur chest de-
tenders Of the Negro race published
In America:
The signs Of the times point conclu.
sively to the tendency Of the white
Republicans CO in the South to ell
inmate the Negro:
"The Republicans in Texas have In.
creased their white membership by
10000 in three years, and have an.
nounced that 1t is a white mans party
and only white men shall hold office.
They expect that this action will gain
them $4,000 votes. Then why should
not the Negroes vote with the Demo.
Gratis? They ought to go for the party
that will treat them best, as they have
been doing In Tennessee. To them
their own interests and rights are par.
amount, and II the Democrats are
split up and either faction win accept
their votes no one can blame them for
considering their own interests, as
everybody else does. II the Repub-
lican party does such an injustice 1t
deserves to be repudiated.

Until 1880 the play was given in the

erected, but without a covering. In
recent years it has been rooted over,
but the stage is still open so that the
scenes have a background of noun

EXPRESS RATES
HELD TOO STEEP
New York Merchants Say Companies
Profits Are Unreasonable
Ask Probe.


New York, May 13.-That forr
great express companies get net re-
turns of from 43 to lis per cent or
more on capital employed in actual
express operations was stated in
report issued yesterday by the Mer-
chants association of New York. The
association and other commercial
bodies representing business inter-
ests through the country are about
to ask the interstate commerce COM
mission to investigate the matter,
with view to compelling reduc-
ton of existing rates.
The report, prepared by Freder-
lex B. De Berard, deals in great de-
tail with the resources and opera
tions of the Adams, American, United
States and Wells-Fargo companies.
The conclusion is reached that the
greater part of the assets of express
companies are devoted to investment
and that the capital actually en-
ployed In the express business is but
little more than the ya1ue of the
equipment, plus a very moderate
working fund.

IREE OF THE CHIEF ACTORS IN THE PASSION PLAY

chief ambition of each of these simple
villagers is TO be an actor in the pas

1t was in 1888 that the plague swept
Oberammergau. the harvest Of death
claiming one-fourth of the population.
The survivors met and resolved that
every ten years thereafter they would
present the sacred scenes Of the Pas
sion. after which the plague was mi
raeulously stayed. That is the story,
and back of it is one even more touch
ing and beautiful. One peasant had
lost his wife and children and in the
detection that followed dreamed that

of the cross appeared and gentle
voice spoke to him: my son, are you
weary? Are you heavy hearted? Do
you weep? Remember my agony. I

Rushing to the church, the peasant
rang the bell until all the villagers had
gathered, whereupon he recounted his
dream and proposed that the people

ly ended. All this is little more than
legend The one fact that is not leg
end is that the Passion play has been
enacted every tenth year through the
centuries that followed, the only ex-
ception being once when nearly all the
ablebodied men in the village were
absent in the wars.
Play Lasts ALI Day.
The play follows the Biblical nara
tive with great fidelity and has been
adapted from time to time by the vii
lage priests. Every act is preceded
by a tableau, usually taken from the
Old Testament. There is also a cho-
rus, the songs of which explain the
tableaux. The play lasts all day, with
two hours intermission at noon. 1t is
scheduled to be presented twenty-nine
times during the season, which runs
from May till September. In case the
spectators on any given day are more
than can be accommodated in the
theater, which seats over 1000, the

Unique Dramatic Event That Is

Ten Years Because of a Vow
Made During a Plague.
BY WALTON wILLIAr1s.

BY WALTON WILLIAMS.
T HE Passion play OF Oberammer-
gau has become perhaps the
u most famous single dramatic
event on earth. It is certainly
the most unique. Acted by peasants,
the chief of whose required qualifica-
lions are religious devotion and purity
of life. its dramatic force is equal to
that seen upon any stage, albeit occu-
pied by the worlds greatest actors.
The Passion play is presented every
ten years, the theory being that it shall
not be cheapened by frequency. Ober-
ammergau is little Bavarian village
surrounded by mountains. It has not
been modernized except in the neces-
sary features of sewerage and santa
ton. In all other respects it is now
as it has been for centuries. The peas
ants who present the play are wood
carvers and farmers. The financial re-
turn given TO each actor is most mod
est. scarcely sufficient to pay for the
