The title of the book is “The Leopard’s Spots,’’ and is a well di- gested epitome of all of the malice, eupidity, misrepresentations and its purest maidens, and its homage to this depraved product of southern prejudice, indo tence and crime.

Pelitics Vs. Disfranchisement. From the Pittsburgh, Pa., ‘ ndependent. It now seems as if President Roose- velt would revolutionize politics ia the far South where the F epublicans run nothing and are content to go to national conventions. and be appoint- ted to Federal offices. The President says he desires this factional fighting to cease, and that he wants to see aj united effort on the part of Southern Republicans, to send some man to Congress. Of course this will never come to pass. Reosevelt sits down and sees the Negro disfranchised; expresses regrets to a lyncher be- cause he was not confirmed for office, and then expects Republican Con- gressmen from the South. when the great voting strength of the party is disfranchised. Why he talks like a lunatic. Yes it seems as if the ig more interesied in President southern re- publicau organizations than he is in the disfranchisement of the Southern negro. It would not have been in bad tase, if he had tvid Pritchard that his recent move was out of order. Well! What Of :t? From the Louisville, Ky,, American Baptist It would make no difference if Prof. Booker T. Washington had dictated or written the Address to the | Country adopted at the recent session | of the Afro-American Council held in St. Paul but as a matter of fact he did neither. The topics discussed in that address were arranged by the full com- mittee and the preparation of the ad- dress was assigned to one member of | the committee and we have personal knowledge that Mr. Washington did| not suggest a single topic discussed, ss and with the committee or Council when it was adopted. | Well, suppose he was not present? | What difference would it have made if he had snggested a sentence in| the address? The entire document | wa3 a play upon words which ful-| ly demonstrated the fact that it was the hand of the apologist and trimmer, notwithstanding whot wrote it, The most that was ac- complished in St. Pau!, by the council, was several good meals and a great deal of frolic. The ‘Jim Crow” Committee. If there is any manhood in the Dis- trict negro it should be shown in his with drawal from the “Jim Crow” Com-! mittee cf Public Comfort of the Grand | Army of ihe Republic. The idea of] men having the affair in charge declare | that they don’t want negro conmittee- | men to associate with white people; ; and that they must have a separate | and distinct committee, to entertain | the old negro veterans, is too redicu- | ous to entertain. Since the publica | tion of THe Beer’s first article on this | ‘Jim Crow’? Committee Mr. Louis H, Douglass, an old veteran the son ot the late Frederick Douglass, has ten-| dered his resignation toMr. B. H.War-} ner and requests that his name be tak-| en from the committee. It is under-| stood that other reputable men of col-/ or will do likewise. The colored sol- diers fought bravely and sacrificed life, liberty and property in the late! Civil War and the Spanish-Americaa War to uphold the flag that claims to guarantee protection to all Americans. | Let the “Jim Crow’? Committee be abolished. Tnere is but one flag andj one God we all serve. What a Lie. From the Colored American, Atlast the agony is over. The Ens) campment committeemen have been appointed, and everybody of conse- quence in public life hasa plaee. It is pleasing to note that the race has heen diffused among the several ccm- mittees, and not centered in the pub- lic comfort sub-committee, as some feared at first might be the program. There can be little said of “jim crow- ing’’. The Negro,—as far as the G. A. R. managers are concerned. Wiil the editor of the apologist read the letter of Mr. Lewis H.| Douglass in another column of The Boe and see what a lie he has told? No negro with any self respect will remain on this ‘Jim Crow” com- mittee. Of course some people are try. He has the same general traits, | satisfied wit! any thing. i ——_—_—_______. The gang of ‘‘boodlers”’ in St. Lou- is reminds us of the gang of pap sur- veyors in the South.

The dintinguish- ing land mark of Republicanism has been crossed and the gate is now open for Southern doughfaces to come in and the faithful colored allie to go out: At the general round-up, votes may be missing. a et We christened Booker with the name “Wizzard”. We now move tochange in- of it to ‘‘Lizzard’’. The latter name, cluding the cameleon hits the gentle” man just right. He has probably changed as many colors as any came. leon we know of—first one color to the North and then another to the South and yet another color to those occu- pying a middle ground, rf The hanging of the sixteen year old boy in Virginia, is another blot on Amer ican civilization. Instead of the Re- formation for a child the gallows are substituted. In this while it is contend_ ed that the coloerd people are p00, besotled and ignorant, yet they are made to s"ffer because they are not wiser and better than the whites who for a similar crime are sent to the Re- form School. ‘What | Saw and Heard, 1 saw recorder Dancy on fast Cuesd:y and asked him about the} action of Pritchard in North Caro- lina. Well he said that he didn’t care to dicsuss politics. I don’t blame Dancy because whatever his opinion is he will not express it. The Ohio campaign will be a hot one. Senator Hanna will take the stump and Mayvr Johnson the dif- ference between State and City pol- itics. Tnere is no doubt that Sena tor Hanna will be heard from some time shortly. W. J. Bryan has hiseves on the presidency. He knows a thing or two and will no doubt spiing a sur-| prise. It would be avery funny thing if the democrats of would extend an invitationto the negroes to join the democratic par— ty. O!If the democrats had said enough to extend such aninvitation what 2 change there would be in the ranks of the rebuplican party. Strange to say that there is not a negro strong enough and jufluen tial enough under this administra tionto demand a job for another, noteven Booker ‘I’. Washington has pull enough to makeun appoint ment. Dresident Roosevelt dove ot take very kindly to Washin& ton’s indorsements now, The wiz zard? made a mistake when he took a hand in District polities and at tempted to tell the President who was and who was not. Of course he is permitted to go to the white house and that is all he is permit ed todo just at present. He had a candidate forthe Naval office at New Orleans and lost, The Presi dent has just op2ned bis eyes and has becn ¢ nvinced that Washing ton recOmmends very snall men and iuferior article’. Well tLe business league met in Richmond some time ago. W'!! some one please explain what good these meetings accomplish? The wizzard said in his opening addres, | that the meeting was eslled for bu siness men and no one else, and politicians were not wanted. Well a mong the leading negro politicians present were: J. C. Daney, W. A. Pledger and others of equal promi nence, who took part and made speeches attd yet the wizzard said u9 peliticians were wanted. Col. W. A. Pledger has nodoubt been converted to the wizzard. Whenever a ian thinks that he sees something, he will “Crawfish” for it. bere are others waiting at the pie counter and if some’ hing does not bub le soon, there will bea voicanic eruption that will startle the world. Lieut Governor Woodruff wil! be in the city shortly, and makes speech. Governor Woodruff is one of the best known men in the coun try. He will be president of the U nited States some day. He knows how to pick his friends and those who deserve recoguition. I did not knowthat we had re- the South; | tiful Lady Dudley, dowager countess, of Miss Harper’s.

New Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Was for Years Known as King of Spendthrifts, William Humble Ward, second earl of Dudley, the new lord lieutenant of Ireland, is only 36, He inherited from his father an enormous fortune, his income being $2,000,000 a year. ‘The nobleman was a spendthrift and ed madly into every extrava- gance. He entertained upon an amaz- ing scale in Paris, and his life there and on the continent, his journeys to and his elephant hunts in In- youn plu ailed enormous expenditures. Then he took up horse racing and gambling for high stakes. It was at this period that his mother, the beau- THE EARL OF DUDLEY.
