Pins.
Colored Americans are anxious to
perform their full duty as citizens
and to live in peace with their fell
low men. They are asking and ex-
pecting in return the full protection
of the law of their land - the guar
antees of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. Rightly required to be
law abiding themselves, they conf
IDENTIFY expect that law and order will
prevail; that lynching and all forms
of mob violence will be stamped out
by duly constituted authority, and
that every man, regardless of color,
who has fought and served under the
Starry Banner, or who has been loyal
to that emblem of Liberty and JUS
tice, will be granted that recognition
to which all true Americans are en-
titled. The Negro asks no more, and
no equally helpful and loyal race
could expect less.

One Man Rule

The danger of placing unlimited
power and authority in the hands
of one man is now being understood
by colored people as we'll as white.
Many magazine feature writer's are
complaining about the power of Die
tators. Many lament the power
placed in Mussolini, Stain, and Hoo
yer, and these lamentations are now
reaching the business Cars as well.
In Chicago, Anthony Overton, a col
ored man of wealth, was formerly
President of the Douglass National
Bank, the Overton HYGIENE Co.,
and the Victory Life Insurance Co.
All of these institutions were housed
in one big building over which Over
ton was the Dictator, the Gar the
Ruler. He was the One Big Man
with loads of power. The times and
manners have found such circum-
stances to be unwise and dangerous.
1t puts too much responsibility upon
one man. His judgment must be in
fallible and it has been learned that
man is prone to err. Now Overton
has been removed from the Presi
dency of the bank and the control
and leasing of the banks building
has also been taken off of his stall
wart shoulders. 1t was too much
work for one man. Colored people
are justified in being fearful of the
one man rule.

(By William H. Wilson,

January l, 1892, marks another
anniversary, the sixty-seventh, in the
history of the American Negro as a
freeman. Within this past year new
proofs of the valuable asset the Ne
gro citizen has come to be in Ameri-
can life have come to light in indus
try, in politics, and in education. New
achievements have been recorded.
The Negro citizen is coming into his
own through the subtle influence and
power of his own merit.
In politics the Negro is express
ing an independence in a manner
which challenges the admiration of
all other racial groups in America.
His voting is now determined not nv
the measure of his intellect. In the
recent national election there were
Negro followers of the three leading
parties. The fact that the major
portion of his voting strength was
given to the Republican party was
not due wholly to historical leanings.
but was due more particularly to in
dividual decision, guided by intelli-
gent reasoning.
In education, the Negro in 1881
has accomplished outstanding re-
suits. Howard University, Lincoln
University, Wherefore University.
Morehouse College, Hampton Insti-
tute, Tuskegee Institute, Atlanta
University, Fisk University, and nu-
merous others of the leading insti-
tntions of the country specializing
IN the training of the Negro youth,
have sent forth thousands of stu
dents Nmbued with the spirit of serv-
ice to their race, to their country,
and to their God.
1t is well that a rejecting glance
should scan the accomplishments of
our race during the year 1881.
True, there have been errors anc

Do First - Talk
Afterward

The Japanese have become occi-
dental in all the social and politi-
cal directions Of modern life except
that somehow they cling tenacouslv
to the ancient spiritual possessions
of their race. They do things in an
up-to-date western manner but they
still do their thinking after the fash
ion of the Japanese traditions. They
do not stand awed IN the presence
of the white mans social and polit
ical accomplishments. To him they
seem but the trappings of an all too
new and gaudy manifestation of So
cial and political ability. When they
want to do anything of social and
political moment they first make the
preparations for the beginning and
the finishing of the Job. They do
first and talk afterwards. A fine OBJ
ject lesson this. There are more col
ored folks footing their automobile
horns on the thoroughfares of several
American city boulevards than can
be found in all the more prosperous
sections of Japan life.

The Inventory

many shortcomings, but even the
most ungenerous accountant will
find that the Negro people in Ameri-
ca are still on the debit side of the
ledger in living up to their obliga-
tions as American citizens.
If the American people should
undertake to inventory the colored
people as an asset of the Republic
they would find, whereas in 1866,
the first year following freedom, the
colored people owned only 10000
houses, operated but 10000 farms,
conducted only 2,100 business enter
prises and had only $20,000,OO0 of
accumulated wealth, sixty years later
the houses had increased to more
than 600, 1000, the number of farms
to more than one million; the num-
Der of business enterprises of every
conceivable kind to $4,000, and the
wealth of the race to more than So
O0O,OO0,O00. Today there are more
than sixty banks in the hands of cap
able colored financiers, doing bus
mess with their own people and with
people of other races as well.
In 1866 the valuation of property
for educational purposes was about
10000, today it is more than $780,
100000. In 1866, 80 per cent of
American Negroes were illiterate,
but now 80 per cent cant read and
write. There are fifty colleges, thir-
teen colleges for colored women, 26
Theological colleges. and over one
million eight hundred thousand Ne
gro pupils in the public schools, one
hundred thousand colored students.
and thirty-eight thousand Negro
teachers IN schools and colleges of
whom more than three thousand
teach in colleges, and normal schools.
Of $30,0OO,000 annually expended
for Negro education $17,0O0,O0O is
raised by Negroes. There are more

War Clouds

War clouds seem to be gathering.
The Yellow Peril begins to materi
alize and the Nordic races of the
world are in state of perturbed an
prehension. Japan is waging war in
China and seems firmly bent upon
establishing itself as a world power.
Japan struck her blow when the fl
nances of the world powers, includ-
ing her own. were at low ebb. Her
diplomats no doubt felt that now is
the psychological hour. In spite of
treaties, pacts, agreements and the
like, Japan has evidently discarded
them as being of little value to her
and has set out to fortify her inter-
ests in Asia. All admit that Man
churia is rich and fertile in natural
resources and that China is replete
with infinite possibilities. Japan,
like Russia, evidently realized that
her interests lie in Asia, and that
Asia must be controlled by As'ans
Or be exploited as is Africa and
nina. Such reasons seems to under
lie the present beligerent activities.
We are Americans and our inter
ests lie immediately in America, of
curse, the future may be pregnant
with changes that will eventually
benefit us. Wars will come and the
clouds appear upon the horizon and
while they are gathering the Amer
ican colored people-members of the
darker races--are gazing on in full
understanding of the fact that all
IS not well in the world. The Amer
'ean white man admits as much.

Bomb Progress

Out in Des Moines, Iowa, last week
two men and a woman were given
twenty-five years each in the peni-
Tertiary for dynamiting house in
which lived the alleged slayer of the
woman's husband.
If movies, stage and fiction are to
be believed. the colored brother is
fearful at the sight of firearms and
ready to run at the first sign of an
explosion.
However, having been bombed so
often himself, it appears that he is
getting more accustomed to Internal
machines. Discarding a gabe for a
bomb represents some kind of pro-
gress, for undoubtedly a bomb does
more damage and makes more noise.

FINANCIAL CRISIS
GROWS IN CHICAGO

Closing as Legislative

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February ia new and
deeper pail of gloom hung today over
the thousands of payless public en-
ployeS and threatened the schools and
municipal Offices Of city and county
with closing.
Voices Of despair where hope held
yesterday were raised by civic and mu-
nicipal leaders and retrenchments were
planned that may plunge many work
ers into the ranks Of the jobless and
curtail the functions supported by the
public treasury.
The city had based its hopes Of finan-
cial relief on legislative enactments
permitting the funding of unpaid back
taxes by bond issue, but the special
session Of the Illinois Ge:-eral Assembly
adjourned last night until April 19-
after the primary elections-without
acting.

With the prospects that the treasury
would remain empty until the Assembly
reconvenes April 19, preliminary steps
in what was said by officials to be one
of the largest retrenchment programs
ever undertaken were made last night
as Mayor Cermak ordered q survey OF
all city departments, with . view Of
leaving only a skeleton organization.
And while unpaid teachers protested
anew they were desperate for want and
threatened a walk-out, the Board OF
Education tentatively decided to keep
the schools open as long As possible and
then close them until the 1888 appro-
priations are available.
Suburbs Affected.
County officials expressed the belief
it would be necessary to strip their de-
partments Of all employees not required
by law and the sanitary district was
considering dropping all workers except
those needed to keep sewers func-
tioning.
The troubles were not confined to
Chicago. A warning that schools OF
suburban Evanston may have to close
unless citizens purchase $750,000 in tax
anticipation warrants was sounded by

western University Scnool of Speech
and chairman of a committee selling
