THE CUBAN INsURREcTIoN.

The Negro insurrection in Cuba
has developed seriously, and the War
Department has become active. The
blacks of Cuba had 1t hard during the
Spanish reign, and the American in
vasion has doubtlessly made the
situation more intolerable.g We were
in Cuba during 1898, the only Amer
lean Negro in the City Of Havana,
and from the blacks were informed of
caste conditions and color prejudices.
There were exceptional cases, where
blacks were recognized on account Of
wealth or intellect, but the blacks
were considered the menial class.
The purpose of the Nation might have
been to Free Cuba" but the result
now shows that 1t was the intent of
the American capitalist and the
Southern invader to conditionally
enslave the Negro. May they fight
for a just cause and win.. Nations
will point with pride to their achive-
ment. while we bow our heads in
shame wearing the yoke of oppres-
sion, fearing from cowardice and lack
of unity to assert our rights, even
kissing the hand that will always
smite us, till we rebel by concerted
effort. -

OUR soULLEss LAWYERS.

Bryan spoke of soulless lawyers in
his lecture at the Auditorium. Many
who heeard or read his remarks
knows that there are some Negro
lawyers, in the Twin Cities worthy of
that classification. One in st. Paul
stole $400 from Negro orphan girl,
who has brought the matter up for
investigation. and another in Mime
apolis is attempting to dissuade the
delegates from attending the Negro
Educational Congress by means of
personal letters condemning the char.
acter of its president. The reputa-
tion and character Of these Negroes
is known in the Twin Cities. These
cannibals thrive on the flesh of their
benefactors, and hold social promin-
ence by virtue of means gained by
treachery and fraud.

THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN
SCANDAL,

The president is like the high-mind,
ed president of a public service cor
poration who wants his general man
ager or counsel to get results in
council and legislature, but is unwil-
ling to hear anything about the
necessary means.
We do not hear of any refusal of
the president to permit Southern
delegates to the Republican national
convention to vote for him, but he is
taking great pains to pass on the
other side of all unpleasant details
involved in arranging for this support
Of his candidacy.
The Republican party in the South
Is a permanent scandal. 1t has no
following, since it's Negroes have been
disfranchised and it's whites ostra-
cised, and only leaders enough to fill
the federal and organization offices
Extrects from Minneapolis Tribune.
It's year old, but true.
