afforded SIOO to S2OO Is considered a
fair fortune. Sometimes the fortune Is
paid in kind—cattle and furnishing, or

FOR A NEGRO PARTY
First Steps Looking to Such an
Organization Are Taken.
THE LEADERS MEET IN PHILADELPHIA
Sugffeitlnnft For President and Vice Pres
ident Itishop Turner Kxpresises Views
Concerning the Movement.
The first steps looking to tho organi
zation of a national negro party have
been taken in Philadelphia. Promi
nent negroes—bishops, ministers, ed
itors and lawyers—at a meeting last
Tuesday decided to place a presiden
tial ticket in the field with negro can
didates. The plan is to organize the
party in every state of the Union
and nominate candidates for state ayd
congressional cilices.
Names mentioned for president in
clude ex-Judge E. J. Walker, of Bos
ton, with P. B. 8. Pincbbaek, ex-lieu
teuaut governor of Louisiana, as run
ning mate; Bishop W. B. Derrick, of
New York, with Professor Debers as
running mate; Bishop Grant, of Illi
nois, with the Rev. J. P. Sampson as
vice president; Bishop Turner, with
Booker T. Washington, of Alabama,
as vice president, and Bishop Walters,
with T. T. Allain, of Louisiana, as
vice president.
“The platform,” said H. C. C. Ast
wood after the meeting, “will insist
upon the observance of the constitu
tion of the United States, the civil and
political rights of every citizen with
out regard to race, color or condition.
Tho Monroe doctrine and opposition
to monopolies, trusts and rings, and
the duty of the government to control
all public conveyance such as rail
roads, etc., and all telegraph and tele
phone operations, so as not to burden
the people with unnecessary taxa
tion.”
Bishop 11. M. Turuer, who was not
present at the meeting, expresses
doubt as to any practical results from
the organization of a negro party if it is
intended to be a political party in the
ordiuary sense, for the reason that the
negroes compose a small minority of
the voters. Having said this, he
added:
“I am in favor of a national negro
party if it is intended to secure an ap
propriation which will enable the ne
groes to move to a place where they
can be by themselves. I take no sfock
in any movement which does not con
template the separation of tho races.
This is a white man’s country and
will remain so. The negro has con
tinually to contend with the opposi
tion of the low and vicious classes of
the whites. White gentlemen take no
stock in this, and if they give the ne
gro any thought at all, it is with an
idea of his betterment or his employ
ment; but for fear of being called ne
gro lovers the better class of white
people say little on the subject.
“In order to roach the highest de
velopment of which he is capable the
negro should be by himself, where he
will not occupy a secondary position.’’
TROOPS SUFFER GREATLY.
l.ong March In Philippines Lay Many of
Them Low.
A dispatch received in Manila from
Candon, dated June 4th, says Major
P. C. March’s men of the Thirty-third
regiment returned to Candon that day
by steamer from Aparri. A majority
of the men are ready for the hospital.
They are thin and weak, having trav
eled 250 miles in the mountains, dur
ing which they suffered greatly from
hunger.
Of the fifty horses which started
with the battalion thirteen survived.
The remainder died on the march or
fell into canyons. The battalion prac
tically collapsed at Plat, thirty miles
from Maguegarao, as the result of
fevers nnd exhaustion.
Eighty-seven of the men were con
veyed from Plat to Maguegarao in bull
carta, and those falling on the way
were carried in litters by the Igorottis
with “the column.
Prices of Food Doubled.
A Sau Francisco dispatch says: Ow
ing to the quarantine the prices of all
kinds of food have been doubled in
Chinatown. All available supply of
rice, it is said, has been cornered by a
few Chinese merchants. No new cases
of the plague have been reported.

PARAGRAPH CAUSED ROW.
Colored Newspaper Editor at Au
gusta, Ga., Narrowly Escapes
Rough Handling By Mob.
Augusta, Ga., narrowly escaped
more violence last Saturday night,
growing out of a publication con
cerning the recent killing of Alex
Whitney and the lynching of his mur
derer, William Wilson. Saturday
afternoon more than 200 white men
marched from an indignation meeting
on the river bank a mile across town
to The Georgia Baptist office on Camp
bell street, Dear Gwinnett, to demand
a retraction from the editor, and at
night another party was organized to
force Editor White to leave town and
to wreck his printing office.
The indignation in the community
arose over a paragraph published in The
Georgia Baptist, a denominational ne
gro paper, published for years past by
Bev. W. J. White. It purported to
have been copied from another paper,
“The Bee,” said to be published
Washington city. It was as follows:
“The lynching of William Wil
son, a popular young mechanio, in
Augusta, Ga., a few days ago, is
another one of those damnabie
sins for which the south must be
held responsible. Mr .Wilson died
upholding the virtue of one of
Georgia’s most refined and highly
respected young ladles. The white
wretch who offered the insult fell
at the hands of this young martyr
and the unpleasant thought that
such a brilliant career bad to be
sacrificed for one portraying the
worst type of criminality is not
only unfortuuate, but sad to the
very extreme.”
The entire statement was so palpa
bly false that it filled the friends of
young W T hitney with indignation.
An indiguation meeting -was called
and the publication denounced and it
■was proposed to run Editor White out
of town, to wreck his newspaper office,
while some even wanted to tar and
feather him, or do him other violence.
The meeting decided upon the appoint
ment of a committee to wait upon
White and demand that he sign an
apology aud a repudiation of the arti
cle.
In the meantime White had gone to
The Herald and Chronicle offices and
stated that he did not kuow the para
graph was in his paper; that it was
published without his knowledge or
consent; that it was absolutely false
and he was anxious to put a card in
both papers repudiating it and apolo
gizing for its publication in his paper.
The following is the card which the
committee dictated for Editor White’s
signature:
“The infamous article that appear
ed in The Georgia Baptist ou May
31st as a clipping from The Bee, was
inserted without the knowledge or ap
proval of the editor of this paper,
who hereby emphatically disclaims
connection with its publication.
“I cannot sufficiently deplore the
fact that this disgraceful article ap
peared in our paper, apparently as the
expression of the opinion aud senti
ment of the editor of this paper. And
further I deprecate, repudiate and de
nounce the article and all the senti
ments it coutains, and further guaran
tee to the white people of Augusta that
it is not the intention of The Georgia
Baptist to offend by upholding any
such dastardly acts as that referred to
iu the article in question. I further
guarantee to the white citizens that no
such offense will again occur in the
columns of this paper. I respectfully
ask the morning papers to publish this
denial and promise to print it in large
type in The Georgia Baptist.
“William J. White,
“Publisher of The Georgia Baptist’”

tion.

ex Senator David B. Hill. The silver
men profess to be satisfied with the
result.
OX LYE OF DISSOLUTION.
House Proves an Arena of Great Turmoil
ami Much Badinage.
The house of representatives enter
ed the throes of dissolution Tuesday,
and all day and all evening the cir
cling galleries were crowded with
spectators. The picturesque inci
dents were few.
Partisan passion, running high in
the face of the impending presidential
campaign, broke out several times
during the afternoon, and hot words
were passed across the political aisle.
Mr. Hull, of lowa, and Mr. Lentz, of
Ohio, crossed swords, and later Mr.
Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Mr. Gaines,
of Tennessee, had a lively encounter.
Throughout the day at every oppor
tunity political advantages and taunts
and challenges were baudied back and
forth. But all this was merely inci
dental to the work of crowding through
the big supply bills which bad the
right of way.
During the interim between the con
sideration of conference reports mem
bers clamored like mad men in the
wheat pit on a panic day for recogni
tion for private bills upon which their
political salvation might depend.
At -the night sessiou the galleries
were thronged with gayly arrayed wo
men, and the floor was a veritable bed
lam. flour after hour the conferees
struggled on with their reports, the
speaker, firm and resolute, steering the
house through the turmail and confu
sion.
Toward midnight the galleries
thinned ont, but the tired legislators,
with the prospects of an all-night ses
sion ahead, remained in their places,
getting what comfort they could from
the knowledge that on the morrow the
end would come.
DISPENSARIES ARE LIABLE.
Georgia State Supreme Court Decides That
Taxes Must He l’uid.
The supreme court of Georgia,
Tuesday morning, reversed the de
cision oi the lower court in the Blake
ly dispensary tax case. This case is
important by reason of the fact that it
will establish a precedent in regard to
all dispensaries in the state.
The tax collector held that the dis
pensary was liable for taxation, but
the case was carried into the courts
and decided in favor of the dispensary
people. The case was then carried to
the supreme court, and it was decided
that the dispeusary was liable.
USED A COWHIDE.
A Jilted Lover Wreaks Vengeance on
His Alleged Nemesis.
Seeking vengeance for a broken en
gagement and for the loss of his pretty
sweetheart, J. J. O’Hern, the manager
of the Wine Cocoa Company of At
lanta, Ga., went to Jacksonville, Fla.,
and vigorously plied a buggy whip to
the back and head of Frank W. Chase,
the Jacksonville manager of the Cable
Piano Company.

The London County Council has
asked to sanction the expenditure nf
$135,000 for the purpose of preserving
the building at 17 Fleet street, usually
known as the “Palace of Henry y ni
and Cardinal ’Wolaey.’ T The doubts
previously expressed as to the historical
foundation for this claim are mor*
than supported by the result of the in.
vestigatlons of the officials of the Cons
ty Council, who report that the bufief
ing was not erected until 1610, when it
was used as the office of the Duchy of
Cornwall.. Henry, Prince of Wales,
had control of It until his death in
1612. There Is a record, dated a few
years later, stating that It was then a
tavern. It was familiar to Dr. John
son, Burke, Goldsmith and Reynolds.
For many years it has been used as a
hair dresser's establishment, much pa.
tronized by barristers.
