mainly or time and chance for sue
cess, rather than upon sound busi-
ness and banking methods. The re-
suit was good money went after bad,
and after foundering helplessly for
a year they were forced TO close.
Many are inclined TO compare the
failure of the True Reformers' Bank
of Richmond to that of the Capital
Savings Bank of Washington. d.
C. Imost sincerely hope there is no
comparison between the two. The
failure of the Capital Savings Bank
of this city was the result of crini-
nal carlessness, extending through
the operation of years; the wasting
of the depositors' money in riotous
living, and finally the deliberate
looting of the bank by certain rnem-
bers of the board of directors.
No one doubted the statements so
eloquently and earnestly made that
"depositors would be paid dollar for
dollar" When certain members
of the board of directors declared
bankruptcy and the facts concern
ing the business methods came out,
and finally when some Of them began
to put large sums of money in prop
crty, and the depositors have only
received about S per cent, then
everyone realized that that honest
settlement was all empty dream. 1t
is to be hoped that no such final will
be the case in Richmond.

Howard Night AT Bethel Literary

Something in the way OF an limo
vation was preseted to the interested
audience which gathered at Bethel
Literary last Tuesday evening when
Howard University held its "How-
ard Might" After an address of
welcome, Prof. Garnet c. Wilkin-
son gave over the meeting to the
president of Howard University,
DR.. Wilbur P. Thirkield, who in a
brief but striking address told what
Howard was doing and striving to
do for the cause of education. He
spoke with great pleasure and pride
of this years freshman class, Num-
bering 1S7 students, the largest class
in the history of the university.
Then followed brief addresses by
the deans of the several depart
ments: Rev. DR.. Isaac Clark, dean
of the theological department; DR..
Lamb, for the medical department /;
Prof, Leighton, dean of the law
department; Prof. Cummings, dean
of the academy; Prof. Kelly Miller,
dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences; Prof. George w, Cook,
dean of the Commercial college.
Each member of the faculty had
some word of hope and encourage
ment for the bright future of How
ard University, and for the young
men and women who are there seek
ing knowledge and betterment for
themselves and their people.
In the large gallery of the Metro
politan c. M. E. Church were gath
cred the several classes of the uni
versity. Each class was fully repre-
sented by numbers, class colors and
class yell, all of which indicated to
the fullest degree the love and en-
thusiasm of the student body for
"dear old Howard"
The feature of the evening was
the exquisite music rendered by the
University Vested Choir. Miss

The Colored Voters Position

There may be State somewhere
in this broad land of ours where the
affairs Of the community may be bet
ter administered by Democrat
Governor, Mayor or a State Legis-
lature. | leave that to you. Figure
it out. There can be no doubt in the
mind of a fair thinking man that the
affairs of the nation will be more
wisely administered by having and
keeping the Republican party in
power.
To the colored voter, this is a very
important question. The Solid
South, with II Congressman hold
ing seats by violence, corruption and
fraud, will begin to make war on the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments to the Constitution of the
United States. Hardwick, Kitchin,
Edwards and Gambler will present
the infamous repeal hills in the
House, and Hehin, the runn-soaked
temperance orator, will present his
" "iim-crow-car" bills for Washing
ton, D. c. In the States the condi
tions of affairs will result about the
way they did in Maryland when
Governor Lowndes was defeated.
Under his administration the school
facilities of the State had been
greatly increased, particularly those
schools for colored children, and ed
ucation among the colored people
took a great bound upward.
Through dissatisfaction with Presi-
dent Harrison and lack of sense
enough to know when they were do
ing we'll certain colored politicians
in that State threw their influence
with the Democratic machine. 1t
was a bad throw. The first thing
the Democrats did was to reduce the
school year and the number Of col
ored schools. In some counties the
school year was reduced to SIX
weeks. The next act of oppression
was "jim-crow-car" law. Not that
there was any demand for it from
the white citizens, but simply to de-
grade and humiliate the colored citi-
gems of Maryland. Then they be-
gan to tinker with the election laws
trying to deprive the colored voters
of their rights. They are tinkerine
vet.

Conducted by JOHN H. WILLS.

for a man, who, for the sake Of uphold
ing a political party, deprived his fellow
men of their right to franchise2
Imagine Kosciusko here at the present
time Imagine him facing a man like
the democratic candidate for Congress
from this district, and imagine him ask
ing this candidate the first principles of
freedom. What could he answer? Could
he answer that the deprivation of the
colored race or the deprivation OF any
race Of the rights of franchise are even
part of the fight for freedom? What
would Koscusko say? Let the Polish
people of this city find their own answer
Men who are enlightened and have
been able to gain deeper look into the
workings of politics as they are played
in this country have found that there has
been no party but the Republican that
has protected the foreigners. 1t has pro-
tected them in their right to become nat
uralized citizens, it has given them equal
rights with other men who were free
born and we should recognize this, Mr.,
Kong, as the representative Of the Dem
ocratic ring of the city, has twice at
tempted 10 wrest from lis that right of
citizenship granted us by the efforts Of
the Republican party Should we, then,
vote for him? Would Kosciusko vote
for him2
Mr.. Ignatius Wasowicz was. equally
emphatic in stating that it would be a
great mistake for the Polish people, or
any other Of the foreign-born citizens Of
Baltimore, to kiss the knout that at
tempted to punish them for becoming
wise and knowing citizens of this coun-
try.
There have been too many attempts to
infringe upon our freedom as American
citizens, said Mr.. Wasowicz. We are
proud of being part and parcel of this
great nation, we are proud of the right
to vote granted us by the Constitution
of the United States, and any man who
attempts to deprive us of that right to
vote at one election is not entitled to our
suffrage at the next Believe me- the
Polish people will think twice before they
vote for man like Mr.. KONG.
Sentiment among the German-Ameri-
cans of this city is pretty we'll known to
be opposed to Mr.. KONG, number OF
the members of the Independent Citizens
Union having put their stamp of disap-
proval upon his candidacy 1t seems to
be foregone conclusion among the Ger
mans of this city that Mr.. Kong will
after next Tuesday be the defeated can
didate. This sentiment of the Germans
is best expressed in the words of Mr.
Louis P. Hennighausen, president of the
German Society of Maryland:
The fight for freedom on the part OF
the foreign-born people of this country
however, will continue until all those
people who seek to deprive them of Their
rights are finally dethroned. The for
eign-born voter is entitled to his vote ac'
cording to the Constitution, and it i:
wrong to deprive him Of it. 1t may moi
be generally known that at one time the
Jews of this State were not entitled to G
vote, the same as the negroes, and the
same forces that were then at work seen

to be the disfranchisement of all foreign

which led to the misunderstanding
on Laurel creek. The facts are that
we walked from Mt. Hope to the
meeting on Loop creek with nothing
but the intention of listening to what
the Independent people had to say,
and would not have stirred from our
seat had we not have been called
upon by the majority Of the people
in the house to have something to
say. Neither Mr.. McKell or Mr..
Davies, DR.. Kinnison nor Squire
Malone will say that there was any
element of disturbance while the
meeting was going on. We had
thought all along that Joint discus
sions werewhat they wanted, but this
seemed to have been one of the times
when they did not. We did not even
consent to speak until after Squire
Malone had advised the colored
voter to vote for Adam Littlepage
and Mr.. Preston, and if the State
ever had any Democrats, these are
they, and we felt it our duty to re-
spond to the cali, and we did.
True, we may have some opposi-
ton, but boys, we are espousing
cause we believe to be right. We
are trying to help thousands of other
good colored citizens to keep this
State from going back to the solid
South. We are trying to keep the
Jim Crow car out of this State, and
in so much as we are still able to
travel we will be found roaming
these hills and hollows and preach
ing this same gospel from now until
the eighth. We have no fear of
what people think when we feel that
we are doing right, and that is what
we feel. We have no particular fear
as long as everybody is to our face
and in the open. If we fail and go
down otherwise, it will be in the line
of duty, and a man can't fall in bet
ter place. We refuse to be intimi-
dated or scared out by what few
may say or do. The world thinks
more Of man who follows a prin.
ciple and doesn't falter than it does
of him who does not. We say to the
Independents and the Democrats
what H. D. Hatfield said to a con-
vention in Wyoming county last
spring when things were as hot as
they are here now: keep sweet,
boys, and take your medicine"
