Col. M. C. Parkeb, of Rome spoke for the people at Monroe Ga-, on January Ist, 1900. Republican Conventions in the Eighth District have been held in Madison, Franklin, Oconee, Mor- gan and Oglethorpe counties. In the make up of the delegation from theState-at-Large some good man who has held no office should go. We have good material t° select from. The Negro can afford to thank God that old Senator Morgan is enjoying his last days. He will soon go before a just Judge, who has no inferiors by color. We do not like the cut of the new dress of the Colored American as well as we do the old make-up* It is all the time a good paper, to be sure, but its old cut suits us the best. We have before us a piece of music entitled, “Will You Ever Give The Colored Race a Show,” composed and written by Robert P, Jackson, 3143 Dearborn Street, Chicago. Anyone that once hears the music will not be without a copy of it. Very few men in this state are nearer the hearts of the colored people than Hon. E. A. Angier. He is one of those broad minded men who want equal justice to all men without regard to color. The Age can always be counted upon to espouse his every cause. The Florida Sentinel says: “The English papers arein lively discus sion as to what to do to Oom Paul. Some think he ought to be hanged; others that he should be exiled to St. Helena; others are in favor of letting him off after taking his $30,000,000; while others main tain that he ought to be caught.” It is all right enough that old man Paul should be caught, but it is a case of belling the cat who is going to “caught” him.

The Navy Department Presents Relics For Lieutenant Brum by nemorial. The six-inch bronze cannon that de fended Fort San Felipe, at Manila, against the American fleet under Ad miral Dewey, and which were dis mounted by shells from the Olympia, have been presented to the city of At lanta by the navy department to be placed at the ba*-e of the monument to be erected in honor of Lieutenant Thomas Brumby. Announcement of the gift was made public Wednesday morning in a letter received by Colonel W. I. Heyward from Admiral George Dewey, in which the admiral incloses a letter from Sec eetaiy Long stating that the cannon are now at Mara island, California,and can be secured by the city as soon as desired. The news was received with enthu siasm by those interested in the erec tion of a monument to the memory of Lieutenant Brumby. The announcement that the two cap tured cannon had been presented to the city was in the nature of a sur prise to those who had pushed the matter since Admiral Dewey had been asked to use his influence to obtain only one of the famous guns. The presence of the two Spanish guns at the base of the proposed mon ument will give a thrilling interest to that memorial, and they will serve as a reminder of the dangers the lament ed lieutenant faced when he stood by the side of Admiral Dewey on the Olympia at the capture of Manila.
