NOW, MIR. billiard. WILL YOU
TAKE WARNING, AND BE
GOOD?

Dear Sir: Mr.. M. J. Hilliard, of
Sound View, Conn.,, criticises Mr..
Watson, on the Jeffersonian of the
10th, because Mr.. Watson wants to
let the negro have a chance to get off
to himself, and be somebody, and
improve his identity. Please allow
me to say to Mr.. billiard, through
the columns of the Jeff, that the ne
gro is the only people, (if they be
people), who did not want to go to
themselves, and be people, and
benefit their kind, when they were
set free. He agrees with Mr.. Wat
son in the proposition that the Cath
olics have no right to force their doc
trine and religious principles upon
the American people, because they
religious principles) are offensive,
and the American people do not de-
sire them. Why not as we'll see that
it is wrong for the negro to force his
social principles upon the American
people for the same reason? We
fought for our country and made it
what it is. We took the negro out
of canibalism, set him free, educated
him, gave him wealth, opened the
way for him to return and own his
own country, and benefit his people
and offered to help him get started;
and he would not have it. Now you
are complaining at Mr.. Watson be-
cause he does not want to step down
and out and give the negro his place
in this government. That is what it
amounts to, for white men who are
anybody will not mix with them. |
make this last statement from two
facts: Cd The society of a-~negro
is not congenial to white. CD The
word of God which says that He made
all nations of the same blood, con-
tinues in the same verse and says,
that boundary line should be drawn
between their habitations. When
you mix the habitation of the two
races you directly and Enthusiastically
violate a direct command of God;
and the nation that does it, will
sooner or later receive their punish
ment. Mr.. Hilliard says, eff they
are educated they would be as pleas
ant companion as the Whites Mr..
Hilliard, suppose you had a mar
riageable daughter named Salley,
suppose your negro neighbor had a
manageable son named Sambo;
would you allow Sambo to come to
see Salley? Would you like for Sam

A WORD FROM THE NORTH WEST

My Dear Mr.. Watson: Your very
welcome letter came to hand in my
absence from home. | have been in
this fight for the past 35 years, and
l have admired the stand which you
have taken against the worst and
most to be dreaded enemy that hui
man liberty has ever been called
upon to combat. Your publications
are received and | shall be pleased
to review them and give notice OF
them in '"The Christian" which has
been placed on my exchange list.
Praying that God will both prosper
and bless you in the great work
which you are doing in the cause Of

I remain yours fraternally,

The student Of schurz's life. as SCI
forth in the documents now available
must also be deeply impressed with the
constructive nature of his service. II
was the fashion at one time to deprecate
the criticism of men like Schurz, Bowles'
Curtis, and Godkin, on the ground that
being professional reformers." they
were merely destructive. Both Schurz
and Godkin were often enough asked by
small-minded men. why. II they did not
like the trend OF things political. they
did not return to the countries of their
birth. AS the achievements OF the lead
ers Of the ''mugwumps" of 1884 are
viewed from the perspective of time. we
are certain that they will astonish all
who read. by the number of fertile sug-
gestions as to public policy which have
been accepted as a matter Of course. The

Senator Chamberlain said: II thorough
ly believe in the doctrine that these

I'D Just as soon be cat In purgatory
without claws as to have a claim against
the government and not have repre-

berlain agreed with Senator Cummins
that the practice Of flooding Senators
and Representatives with letters and
kilograms which do not represent the
original thought or deliberate Judgment
of the men whose names are signed to
them is dangerous. and has been very
generally carried on during the tariff
fight. both by insurance companies. pro-
testing against the provisions Of the in

who desire free sugar.
Cutron stands to Lose.
Senator Catron was the only witness
examined in the first two sessions who
admitted that the Underwood bill might
cost him money. Catron said he had
$4,000 acres of land in New Mexico, part
Of II containing lead. zinc, and coal de-
posts, and part covered with lumber. He
declared that the reduction Of duties on
a diminution in royalties from his lead
and zinc mines. II the leaseholders didn't
shut down altogether.
He believed lower duties on coal ulti-
mately would mean a loss OF about IS
an acre for the land in which coal de-
posits are. Senator Reed. who questioned
him carefully. figured up that Catron
would lose about $4,000 through the Un-
derwood bill. according to Catron's esti-
mates. Sepator Clapp said that values
on his farm in Minnesota might be
temporarily affected by the bill, but not
permanently.
Senator Brady was the last witness
called before the afternoon adjournment
In the middle OF his testimony the buzz
zers rang a call of the Senate"
Senator Overman promptly adjourned
the committee, saying to Senator Brady:
Senator. we will take your further
testimony first thing tomorrow morning
We will not require You to come back
tonight"
At this Senator Cummins damned his
first on the corner of the dask and ex-
ploded with laughter. Senator Brady
turned the color OF a ripe tomato. The
occasion for levity was lost upon the
audience. but the members OF the COM
mittee and the waiting witnesses were
lin" on Senator Overmans little lest.
Senator Brady was married in Chicago
Saturday night, and had arrived at mis-
new home with his bride yesterday
morning. i
