2JlVe g&QniiuQ WILLIAM H BEKKAED, WILMINGTON. N. C. Thubsday. Mobjstso. Apbil 9 BSOOKLYH HEQEOES PROTEST. A few nights since there was a meeting held in Brooklyn, N. Y., to protest against .negro disfran chisement in the South, a report of which we find in the New York Sun. There were about 2,000 per sons present, most of them, negroes. There were among the whites sereral clergymen who had been active in getting up the meeting, which was presided over by a well known negro politician of Brooklyn, who said that fin the security of their North ern homes the negroes of New York must not forget their brethren in the South and must continue to hold such meetings in order to arouse the interest of the people all oyer the country in the fight for citizenship. n He is a "well known colored politician of Brooklyn." He introduced the Richmond negro lawyer Hayes, who spoke for an hour and a half, till his Toice gave out. He was followed by Stewart L. Woodford, white, and a prominent Republican leader in New York politics. He told the negroes that they "must not be discouraged, for their cause was constantly grow ing in the North." Other speakers, black and white, followed him and the meeting closed with the unanimous adoption of resolutions "congratulating the ne groes of the South on the stand they have taken against disfran chisement." According to the report of the Sun Hayes is called by the negroes and it describes him as a strenuous, eloquent, nervy fellow, who has made some "sensational speeches," abounding in threats of shot, guns, torches, &c, but notwithstanding "the veiled threats that have been heard from time to time as to what will happen to him when he returns to practice law in Richmond" he keeps right on talking out in meet ings and expressing the thoughts that well up in him in robust lan guage that doesn't require any inter preter. It seems that the "veil" they put on their threats didn't prevent them from being "heard from time to time," but the veil was probably thick enough to prevent them from being discovered and identified. In this connection it may be incident ally remarked that if any veiled or other threats have been made against Hayes, there has never been any intimation of it, and they have not given Hayes any concern, for he has been in Richmond a good deal since he made the incendiary speeches alluded to, and has gone about his business as usual. The Richmond papers noted his ut terances In Washington and express ed themselves as more surprised than - angered in view of the fact that he had always stood well among the white people of that city, who never suspected him of entertaining the vicious sentiments he gave ut terance to in that speech. 5But the white people took no notice of it, and the only' citizens of Richmond who did were colored citizens, who held meetings, protested against and repudiated that speech as not expressing their sentiments. He afterwards tried to modify it by saying that he had been, mis quoted and his language miscon strued. . . His speech on this Brooklyn oc casion was on the same line as other speeches he has made, but with the shot gun, the torch, etc., eliminated. It was a denunciation of negro "disfranchisement," utterly ignor ing the fact that there isvno such thing as negro disfranchisement properly speaking in any Southern State, for there is not one of them where qualified suffrage has been adopted where the negro who at taches any value to, the ballot can't qualify himself to cast it. This is qualified suffrage, not 'disfranchise ment," and the prediction is made that in some of these States with the interest the negroes are taking in the matter of education, as a direct result of the qualified suffrage laws, there will, within a few years, be, in proportion to numbers, more black than white voters. Can it be called "disfranchisement" when in a few years thousands of negroes will have the right to vote who are debarred now,. , and when there are thousands of negroes who now have the riht to TOteL , But how doe ho propose to -redress this grievance., of "disfran chisement?" He complains - that with negro representation without negro votes, with representation based on population, the vote of one white man in the South is equal in the matter of representation in Con gress to the votes of, several white men in the North. - Without argu ment, assuming this to be so, how is he going to remedy it? Suppose the Republican party were br insist on the Crumpacker proposition to re strict representation in proportion to the number of votes Jast, and had the power to carry it out, jtnd the Southern States were-compelled to submit to reduced representation, how-would that help the . "disfran chised" negroes?. It would help the BepnhUcan . party, but would - not help the negroes, for whom Hayes is talking, but would on the contrary hurt them, for after being forced to submit to the loss of a Congressman or two from each State,the Southern States would soon become accustomed to that, and would not, perhaps,' feel it such a serious loss after all, and then, the probabilities are that having the suffrage question finally settled by the action of the Repub lican statesmen, they would go on and make the suffrage laws of such a character that the negro vote would never under any circum stances become a factor in Southern politics, while it would annually be come a more potent factor in North ern politics, so potent in time that we would hear some of those States crying out for qualified suffrage a'.d see them following the example of the Southern States which have adopted it. Would "the Black Roosevelt" be reconciled to negro disfranchisement if it resulted in a reduction of South ern representation in Congress and in the electoral college? If so he is more interested in the Republican party than he is in his colored breth ren, and that is the logical deduc tion from his speeches, if there be any lofric in them. But while that meeting was pro testing why didn't it take some no tlce of the meeting held in one ol the tony sections of .Brooklyn a few .days ago to protest against the opening a branch of the young colored Women's Christian Associa tion in that neighborhood? Was that too near bv? Or wasn't there any politics in it? PEACE PRESXS VEILS. In his advocacy of a powerful navy, Mr. Roosevelt goes on the theory that a strong navy is a peace preserver, and that if we have . such a navy we need not fear trouble with other naval powers. Theoretically that may look plausible but as a matter of fact, in the experience of Other nations, the theory doesn't hold good. The greatest naval powers on the earth have the most wars, and Great Britain with her mighty navy is always looking ahead and making extra preparation for the wars that may come. Other nations are following her example and as a result the navies of the world are growing right along, and another result is that as the navies grow the nation that has big ships and many of them becomes more confident in its prowess, more' assertive and more aggressive, so that while big navies may be agen cies for preserving the peace they may also be agencies for provoking war. But of course when some na tions are providing themselves with great naval armaments, other nations must do likewise as a matter of self- protection, if war should come. But as peace preservers our gran aries and other storehouses of . food and other products that European countries need are much more po tent agencies than battleships and cruisers. There is not a .European country, with the possible exception of Russia, which is not more or less dependent upon this country for much of its food . supplies, and for most of the material to keep its cot ton factories in operation. . England has to import , three-fourths of her foodstuffs, most of which comes from this country, while four-fifths of the cotton spun in her mills is American cotton. What would war with this country mean for Great Britain? Hunger and idleness for millions of her people. The same is true to some extent of every other European country, and it is there fore safe to say that none of them will seek, but "on the contrary will avoid an armed conflict with this country. A BXX7 MOTE A German paper, published some where, but we don't know where, has discovered or been told that there is in the Yellowstone Park a mine of salt beef, covering several square miles, and accounts for the existence and the preservation of the beef on the theory that way back there in the , Triocene period great herds of cattle were caught in some convulsion of the earth, cov ered up and 'preserved by the . saline deposits, while the cold of the ice period kept it cool until thoroughly pickled. It tastes like and has the nutritiousness of corned beef. The discovery was made by a poor cow boy, but. some rich fellows are se cretly organizing a company to work the mine and put the beef on the market and get away with the beef trust on corned beef. J. Pierpont Morgan, who has a tooth for corned beef, and cabbage, and Hon. Mark Han n a, who loves corned beef hash, may take stock in this company. Suicides are increasing rapidly in Chicago." In 1900 there were 356, in ,1901, 399, and last year 439. Is this one of the results of the "Ding- ley prosperity?" THE PHILIPPINES. At Fargo, South Dakota, Mr. Roosevelt made, 4on Tuesday, the third of the "important?' speeches he had prepared; for this wing 'round. It was on the Philippines, and as his speeches at Chicago and Milwaukee were practically de fences of the administration policy on the Trust question and on the Monroe Doctrine, with special ref erence to the Venezuela imbroglio, it was a defence of the policy pur sued by his administration and the party in the war in the Philippines. As his speeches on the Trust ques tion and the Monroe Doctrine were to a large extent a reiteration of previous utterances, so! was this speech a reiteration of much that he and his predecessor had said on the policy pursued in the Philip pines. I He contended that while there was still and would doubtless be for some time to come, more or less spo radic fighting by prowling bands of brigands and ladrones, peace was practically accomplished, the ' su premacy of this country acknow lodged, and that the best element of the people were heartily co operat ing with our military and civil au thorities in preparing the people of the islands for the new, order of things, with remarkably, beneficial results for so short a period. He incidentally alluded to the charges of cruelty, &c, made against our soldiers, and while he did not approve but condemned acts of cruelty, he said they were greatly exaggerated, and that for many of them there was much provocation and that it was not surprising that young men, subjected to the ordeals our soldiers were, and with warm blood in their veins, should some times be led into excesses in retalia tion. In this connection he took occa sion to rebuke the bitter arraign ment of tho "army," as he called it, by the people at home who are op posed to the policy of holding on to the Philippines, which constituted the political feature of his speech, for the "hold on" policy!;is popular out in that section. But on the whole there was noth ing remarkable in this speech for those who are familiar With his ut terances on this question in previ ous speeches and State papers. ;t The news comes that our government is desirous of abroga ting the Jolo treaty with its recog nition of slavery and polygamy. It isn't easy to understand why Uncle Sam s inconsistency in this matter didn't make him sick at the stomach sooner. Norfolk Ledger,' Dem. If the Sultan of Jolo visits the United States with his 17 wives, an object lesson of our disgrace in the irhuippmes will be I furnished the American people. This gov ernment turns down a regularly elected Utah Congressman because he has two wives, but pays a sub sidy to a lot of Mohammedan des pots who are both slave-holders and polygamists. By all means, let the Sultan come. The national con science needs him as a reminder. Norfolk Landmark, Dem. The Governor of New York called sixteen members of the Leg islature into his office and told them if they persisted in a deal they had undertaken he would file certain pa pers in his possession with the prose cuting: . attorney. Thereupon, they voted against their own bill and the deal fell through but has the Gov ernor done his duty when he rebukes conspirators leagued to defraud the State or veole.-Jacksonville Times- Union, Dem. The trans-Atlantic steam ships are already making bookings for the American. travel; to Europe during the coming spring and sum mer, and the report is that the num ber oi Americans to rdo .Europe" this year will be a record breaker. "General prosperity and increased uxury in ocean travel is given by some of the steamship agents as the explanation of the big movement. The probabilities are that a great many of these Americans who . will spend their surplus cash in Europe know very little about the geo graphy, the climate and the mag nificent scenery of their! own coun try.

Green sboro Telegram. Mr. W. A. Sullivan, foreman of the box shop at the finishing mil), met an awful death Tuesday afternoon while auiust- ine some of the machinery in the sbop. He was standing on a box fixing the machinery the last time any one saw him. Suddenly a rumbling note was heard and the machinery momentarily. stopped. As the workmen looked up they saw the body of Mr. Hullivan hurled through the air to the floor. Some of the men rushed to his aid, but life was extinct in a few minutes. GreenBboro Record: An un fortunate accident occurred at the Ashe street crossing, west of the South era passenger station Tuesday after noon, the victims being Fred Hood, a conductor between here and Uolds- boro, and Joe Weaver, messenger boy at the depot.

The happy cure of Mrs. J. E.

The best medical treatment failed even to give Mrs. Wilcox a few days of relief from her sufferings of mind and body.

How Aant Mary Prepared Fleaaant Surprise For Dorothy. "Now I'm ready. Bring out the rrit-- ing desk. I believe my Indelible ink's In It," said Aunt Mary mysteriously as she bent over her workbasket for Bmall roll of strong white linen. "But but bef or- we begin" Doro thy's voice betrayed- unusual curiosity "please, auntie, tell what you're "go ing to make." That morning at breakfast Aunt Mary said as soon as she got her work done she and Dorothy would assist some little strangers she had noticed while opening the doors and windows .. for the bright morning air that they were just setting to work In their homemaklng task. ' "Is It to be ink pictures?" asked Dor othy. "No," replied Aunt Mary. "Just wait and 'twill be all the more Inter esting. Bring the writing desk an4 scissors." Aunt Mary took her lapboard and roll of linen out on the wide veranda. "Hope this will be as good as Aunt Mary's other secrets' thought Doro thy, sitting down beside her aunt. Aunt Mary cut the linen into small, narrow pieces, leaving attached to each a bit of string that looked ever so much like a tiny tail. ' Xvow, what are tne names of your very best friends?" Dorothy thought a moment. "Papa, mamma they're the best and you." "Perhaps we'd better use another name too." Aunt Mary wrote very carefully on three of the little linen slips, "Papa Mason," "Mamma Ma son," "Aunt Mary' "Now we want some other names those of your little friends." "Cousin Beth that's one, and and oh, Willie Baiter, Alice Kilgore and--and Annie Stanley." Aunt Mary wrote each name on a separate piece of linen. "Now I think the little builders are ready," said Aunt Mary, cautiously pointing to Mr. and Mrs. Oriole, who were just flying into thetaJl elm on the Masons' broad lawn, with their "bills full of wool. 'Oh, and are these for them?" ex claimed Dorothy. "I I thought" 'They were for something else?" in terrupted Aunt Mary. "No; they are for their nest." - And Aunt Mary took the little slips and carefully scattered them over the ' well trimmed hedge, where the birds could see them in their search for building material. . Presently, while Aunt Mary and Dorr iotby were watching from the veranda, Mr. Oriole hopped near a tempting piece of linen and began eying it crit ically. ? 'He's trying to read the name," whis pered Dorothy, delighted. "Is that .what you wrote them for?" "No. There look 1" And away flew Mr. Oriole with the slip of linen on which was written "Papa Mason." Soon Mrs. Oriole carried a piece inte the elm. This was "Cousin Beth." - "Is is this all?" -asked Dorothy as Aunt Mary closed the writing desk. 'Np; but we'll have to wait for the rest till the little birds are hatched and grown." During the weeks that followed Dor othy patiently waited till pne morning m midsummer Aunt , Mary said she guessed she could send Joe Joe was the stable boy Into the tree for the nest. 'Oh, oh, oh!" cried Dorothy In de light as Joe handed it to her. "Won't they be surprised papa, mamma, Cous in Beth and all?" For there were the little linen slips, sticking out all around the nest, with the names of Dorothy's friends plainly to be seen, written in Indelible ink.-,,. "I L didn't know that's what 'twas gQ&gp be!" exclaimed Dorothy gayly. 'fltna irs svorth .waltiiur for?" asked Amt.Mary, her eyes -twinkling. , ''t T- miacta ft- n i.

It's a fatal mistake to neglect backache., Backache is the first symptom of kidney ills. ' Serious complications follow. Doan's Kidney Pills cure them promptly. Don't delay until too late. Until it becomes diabetes Bright's disease. Read what this gentleman says: Capt. D. W. Welsh, keeper of the Wood County Infirmary, Parkers burg, W. Va., says: "I had to go around trying to evade pain con stantly, aware that a false step, jerk i. 1 j 1 r 1 J i twiBb wuuiu unug puuiBnment, and I w8 afraid to handle anything for fear of a reminder in the shape of a twinge of pain. I trade at Dr. J. N. Murdoch s drugstore on Third street, and have something to get in e drug line every time I come in. was there I leaned about Doan's Kidney Pills and I took a supply home with, me and used them. My wife used them and my sister, Mrs. A. Amick, of No. 645 Seventy street, used them. They cured the three of us. I am here in the city; every few days and can substantiate the remarks I have made."

The phenomenal sale BUG DEATH has had during the com paratively short time it has been on the American and Canadian markets, and the hearty endorsement given by truokers and merchants through out both : countries must convince the most skeptical that it has all the merits claimed for it. , For sale by THE WORTH CO , ap4tf Wilmington, N.
