The result Of the recent munich
pal and Congressional election held
in many of the cities and states
of the East, indicate that the
Grand Old Party is fast coming
unto it's own again despite the
overwhelming defeat which it suf-
fered at the polls last November.
With the party receiving a poor
third in the last National election,
it was believed by many that it
had seen it's best day and that it
was only a question of a few days
when its complete disintegration
would be effected. Yet such has
not been the case. Instead of be-
coming atrophied the Grand Old
Party of Sumner and Garrison and
Beecher has been gradually re-
gaining its former power, until it
is now almost the same powerful
giant that it was in its balmiest
days. There has indeed been
much talk recently anent the ANAL
gamation of the Republican and
Progressive parties. The majority
of those who have expressed them
selves on this probable amalgama-
ton have not failed to let it be
known that if overtures are forth
coming from either of the parties
that it will be from the Republi-
cans owing to the very poor show
ng which they made at the polls
. the last presidential election. A
""hange of sentiment however is
9 weeping the country and the con-
. ensus of opinion at the present
ime is that if there is a dictator
tat the proposed amalgamation
meeting, that it will be the Repub-
lican Party and not the Progress
yes. Recent developments have
proven beyond a doubt that the
Republican Party is the truest and
best friend of our people, hence.
as the party begins to stride again,
it is sincerely hoped that our peo-
pie in every state of the Union
will contribute their fu II quota of
strength toward rehabitat ion.

Better Schools i'm Alabama

Experience in building a Ne
gro schoolhouse in Alabama has
taught the following things: III
That, after all, the colored people
are not so hard to lead if Che
leader proves himself safe; 81
that the white people are willing
to help any worthy cause for col
ored people, provided the latter
start on the right line and first
attempt to help themselves; 81
that, as a whole, colored people
are generally liberal in giving of
their small means in support of
education for their neighbours
children.
But a new school building has
in nearly every case only marked
the beginning of the struggles Of
the colored people for better edu-
cational facilities. True, it has
brought them together as one. in
that it has taught them to want
something more and has taught
them confidence to execute. Thus
they have added by their own eff
forts one or two months 10 their
school tei M, which means extend
ing it from five or six to seven OF
eight months. They have in
creased the salaries and comforts

Lively CamDai@m On

The campaign to raise funds for
the building site of the Colored
Public Library goes merrily on,
and the prospects for bringing It
to a success seem bright. In
deed, if every church, secret
order, civic and social orders
should rally to the cause, success
is assured at once. Every indi-
vidual should give Something to
this worthy cause, in fact; should
strain a point to aid the good
work, remembering that every
little bit helps.
Mamie Houstoun has secured
a permit from the mayor and
chief of police to take the stump
in Yamacraw. Frogtown, Currie-
town, Brownsville, Lovers Lane
and the Old Fort, and be invites
the local orators to join with him
and carry the campaign to the

st. Philip Dots

Rev. Sigleton preached at l / a.
m. on last Sunday. The subject of
his discussion was one that every
body should take heed and try to
live up to. On account of the
clustering weather on Sunday our
congregation did not come out to
services. Sunday was pledge day,
"a great many did not pay as they
they have pledged to do. Remem-
ber that when you pledge to pay
or do anything for the church you
are DOT only pledging to man but
you are making an obligation to
GOD. What about your Dollar
Money! Only two more weeks
and Rev. Singleton's time will be
up at st. Philip. The church can
not afford to be behind. Those
who failed to attend the sacred con-
cert at the church on Sunday night
missed a musical treat. St. Philip
musical club is composed of some
of the best talent in the city under
the leadership of Mr.. J. II. Whit
is. All that took part in the
concert did we'll. The singing of
Mr.. George Carse and Miss Rosa
Collins was very good. We say
this because they are just entering
in the musical world and making
rapid progress. The following
services will be held on tomorrow:
prayer meeting at $50 a. M;
preaching at II a. NJ; Sunday
School, 3 p. M; A. G. E. League,

The special appeal which COM
mittee of three of the Negro Bust
ness League is making TO
the Negro doctors of the city to
affiliate with that body should
meet with ready response by them.
The league is striving to further
the interests of the Negro business
and professional mel of the city,
in other words it is endeavoring to
awaken race loyalty and race pride
and has to marked degree sue
ceeded admirably. Among the
members of the league some of the
leading business men, teachers,
ministers and laymen, but as yet
no doctors. Therefore it can
readily be seen why this commit
tee should have been appointed.
The Negro doctors need the boost
ing Of che Business League, the
Business League needs the affiIia-
tion of the doctors. 1t will be of
mutual benefit and it is hoped that
the doctors will respond favorably
to the invitation of the committee
to join the League. The business
men have found it profitable to be
affiliated with the league and the
doctors will likewise find it to
their advantage to accept the
special invitation which is to be
extended them by the committee.

Confetti Showers the Talk of
the Town

Again the name of The Savan-
nah Home Association can be
heard mentioned in any part of
the city that you may 60. 1t is
due to their successful efforts in
the past in giving to the public
entertainments that were full of
merriment. On account of their
high class manner of entertaining,
the Confetti Showers which will
be staged by them at the Harris
street hall on Tuesday night have
become the talk of the town, and
already many are clamoring. to
secure their admission tickets.
Never before has such an unique
affair been held in our city and it
will be pleasing to witness it. A
cordial invitation is extended to
you. The price of admission will
be 25 cents.

The establishing of the Metro
politan Bank at Ocala, Fla, dur
ing the month of September by
Negroes gives to that town the
distinction of having the only Ne
gro banking institution in that
state. Already the bank is doing
a good business and is. the pride
of thousands of Negroes in it's vi
cinity. The men who are behind
the project are among the most
progressive and wide awake Negro
citizens of the state and that they
have struck upon a paying invest
ment may be seen from the feet
that the bank is housed in beau
tiful three-story building which is
payinga rental of more than eight
per cent on the money it cost, and
the bank gets it's rent free, The
bank has already received deposits
amounting to over thirty two
thousand dollars and new deposit
ors are being added daily. That
the success of this institution will
eventually cause the Negroes in
other sections of the state to es-
tablish banks of their own is con
fidently expected. The Tribune
congratulates the Negroes OF
Ocala in the establishment of the
Metropolitan Bank and wishes for
this institution unbounded success.

The recent and sudden death of
oneof the female members of our
race from tetanus which, according
to the verdict of the coroner was
brought on by the treatment of a
severe scalp wound with cobweb
and other home remedies, brings
to our attention the fact that a
surprisingly large number Of our
people allow themselves to rely
upon the active qualities of such
remedies even when the case in
hand warrants the constant care
of first class physician or nurse.
In this age of enlightenment in
which the science of medicine has
reached such perfection, and in
which the services of the most
eminent of our physicians may be
secured at almost nomial fee, it
is hard to conceive how anyone
can be so ignorant Or penurious
as to deny himself or those de-
pendent upon him the services of
a first class physician whenever
there is need for same. Had Lu-
cretia Williams or those in whose
care she was, secured the services
of first class physician for her in
the beginning of her illness, the
chances are that she would be liv-
ing to day to be of some service to
herself and others. But no. In
stead of seeking a physician to
heal her wound, those who had her
case in hand. saw fit to resort to
such mild and practically useless
remedies as cobwebs, hog lard and
the like. The result was, as afore-
stated, death from tetanus. In
the present age there seems to be
no reason whatever for any of our
people to allow themselves to re-
main in such total or blissful igno-
rance concerning matters pertain
ing to their health and of every
day Importance to them. During
the civil war and Immediately
after it when our people we're
schooled in superstition and it's
kindred or allied subjects, there
was some excuse for the faith
which they placed in the so called
root or hoodoo doctor; there was
some reason for the sacred esteem
with which they regarded the cur
alive powers of the homely RENE
dies so much in use then. How
ever the world is moving on. The
way our grandfathers used to do
things has been improved upon.
! Science has been and is making
steady progress. Things can be
done now with more completeness
and dispatch than heretofore.
The trickster and beat can not hold
his own in competition. The days
of the quack or hoodoo doctor are
\ numbered. Likewise the use OF
| cobweb. lightwood. sassafras, dog.
wood bark and the like in cases OF
serious nature, is being discarded
for the services of a regular licen.
sed physician. Our people should
learn the lesson that they can il
, afford at any time to gamble with
their health. Whenever there are
; symptoms of disease, care should
be taken that first class physician
be called into service. The sooner
! this is learned, the better will il
be for US. Those who are able te
! appreciate the value of the servic.
es of first class physician in cases
of serious illness ought to seek te
give to those of our people who dc
not know, such lessons as viii
make them more intelligent anC

1t is indeed interesting to note
the activity which marks the
movement of the members of the
Hebrew race in their effort to put
a stop to all action on the part of
others that SAVIOR of an anti Jewish
spirit. Throughout the country
there are being organized among
the Jews. what are being termed
anti-defamatory societies, the OBJ
ject Of which is to put a ban on all
unjust publications and statements
concerning tae Jewish race as well
as to assist in the preservation Of
the integrity of this worthy peo-
pie. Such a movement on the
part of the Jews, is indeed far
reaching and important at this
time, 10 know that there exists a
people who have the courage to
stand up for their own and insist
upon a square deal being given
them. is indeed encouraging and
inspiring to us as a people. In
their effort to fight discrimination
and persecution to the bitter end.
the Jews have the full sympathy
of our entire people. For long
time, their lot has not been dis
similar to ours. hence between
the two races there has grown up
a mutual sympathy of no mean
proportion. Some Of our truest
and staunchest friends are num-
bered among the members of the
Hebrew race. With the ability
which the Hebrew people possess
and which they haye shown in
their business and other ventures.
we have no doubt that the present
movement which they inaugurated
in the defense of themselves ana
all for which they stand, will re.
suit ia no little good not only for
themselves but for humanity in
general.
