THE EVENING CALL.
VolX No - 187 -
peace treaty ratified
p rej j(jent Will Not Raise the 35,000
Voluntesrs Authorized.
Wa-HIXGTON April 12—T‘. final
act in th< tstul- idhnmnt of b -
tween (he United Stales and Spain
wa» performed yesterday afternoon,
when ratifioatietis of the pt ace treaty
wt re rxchanged at tlie White H-u-e.
Se cretary of St ate Hay and M. t. ’*• i
bon, the French An bassador, signed
the protocol each, and then duplicate
copies of the protocol and treaty were
delivered by the president, and M
Cambu The exact time of the legal
ending of the business was at 3 -.35 p
tn. The president has deter mined to
adhere to hia decision not to raise the
35,000 volunteers authorized. Consid
eration was giv -n the advisability of
raising this army to serve at home sta
tion?, in order that the ngulars might
be sent to the Philippines, but Ger,
Otis confirms the president’s opinion
that the troops there, with the rein
forcements on the way, will be suffix
cient At least there will be no demand
for a large increase for six months, the
time within which the volunteers must
be mustered out, and if the insurrec
lion has not bean quelled then, the
president will probably ex'end the en
listment of volunteers then in the is
lands
The only present intention of the
government regarding volunteers is to
re-establish a rural constabulary in
Cuba and Porto Rico, and perhaps
in the Philippines. The scheme is
working well in Porto Rico and Cubs,
but there seems some doubt about the
advisability of like action in the Phil
ippines yet awhile In response to
an inquiry Admiral Dewey has re
ported that few of the natives make
satisfactory employes on naval vessels,
but be expects an improvement when
the military despotism of Aguinaldo
has been removed.
Took His Custom Elsewhere-
The other day a chemist was awak
ened about 1 o’clock in the morning
by some one clamoring at bis shop
door, says the Londay Spare Moments.
Opening his bedroom window, he saw
a small boy, who was gesticulating
wildly.
‘■What’s the matter?’’ inquired the
chemist.
“I want a penn’orth o’ camphorated
chloroform for t‘ toothache,” howled
the lad.
The chemist was not overjoyed
when he found bow small the order
was for which he had been so rudely
awakened from his slumber; but, tak
ing pity on the sufferer, he dressed
himself and went downstairs to apply
the much-desired relief. Whi'e meas
uring the drug he could net help in
dulging in a growl at the lad.
“It's like your impudence,” lie ob
served, “to wake me up at this tin e of
the night for a paltry pennyworth of
chloroform ”
“Oh, is it?” said the boy resentfully.
“Then I’ll take my custom somewhere
else. You can keep your chloroform.
I won’t have it now for your cheek.”
And lie didn’t He went off quite
indignantly, nursing his jaw, to wake
up some other chemist.
A Tender Hearted Doctor-
Dr. Gruby, a physician of Paris, was
famous fcr his efforts to protect ani
mals from cruelty, says the Youth’s
Companion. He went beyond those
who are humane simply as far as four
footed creatures; he was logical
enough to include insects in his mercy.
He was, however, a little nervous,
and when one day in hie parlor, a big,
blue Hy buzzed uninterruptedly on a
window pane, the doctor’s patience be
came a little worn, and he called bis
man servant
“Do me the kindness,” said the doc
tor, "to open the window and carefully
put that outside.”
"But sir,” said the servant, who
thought of the drenching the room
mig,:t get through an open casement,
!t •* raining outside!’’
The doctor still thought of the fly,
find not of his cushions.
'Uh, is it?” he exclaimed. “Then
please put the little creature in the
waiting room, and let him stay there
lib the weather is fair!”

EXPECTORANT
BOOKER WASHINGTON WRITES
) Negroes Advised to Vote For White
Democrats
1| Profi enor i><;.jki-i I', Washington, of
-! Tuskegee, Ala. the ereatest living
i ■ colored man answering the request of
,!a prominent colored man, in North
Carolina, as to what should be done to
. allay the- present confi el between the
races, clearly advises him to make
alliance with the triumphant democ
racy. Says the letter :
“I have been asking myself lately
some rather serious questions, and I
want to put one or two of them to you.
If there any reason why the -negroes
in the south should continue to op
pose the southern white man in his
politics? Is not this the source of
nearly all our troubles? Unconsciously
we seem to have gotten the idea into
our blood and bones that we aro only
acting in a manly way when we oppose
southern white men with our votes.
“I believe that Governor Johnston,
of Alabama, is just as good a friend to
the black man as Hon Wm. Young
blood, of Alabama. Hon. Wm Young
blood has about 400 white followers,
anjl Governor Johnston has-about 500,
000 white followers in Alabama, Why
should we follow Mr. Youngblood with
bis 400 white followers, rather than
Governor Johnston with his 500,000
followers when no principle is at stake?
“Why is it that the negro in Cuba
has surpassed us in settling his inter
est in the race ptoblem? Is it not
because the negro in Cuba has made
the white man’s interest their own?
“For example, suppose during the
agitation of the freedom of Cuba, the
negro had continued to espouse the
cause of Spain, instead of the c.iuse of
the whites in Cuba? Would not the
white Cubans have grown furious
against the black man in Cuba?
“In some way, by some method, we
must bring the race to the point where
it will cease to feel that tt>e only way
for it to succeed is to oppose every
thing suggested or put forth by the
southern white man
“This I consider one of our real
problems. I confess that personally
I have brought myself wholly to the
point that I should like to see the
whole race get to, but I merely ask
these questions to put you to thinking
along those lines you have not already
begun to do so.
“I believe that there are thousands
of white democrats in North Carolina
who are 50 per cent better friends to
the negro-than Governor Russell, and *
I see no necessity in continuing to
follow Governor Russell—who has no
power to protect, or if be has the
power, does not exercise it—other
than l! • white men who can protect
us if we cease to continually and for
ever oppose them.”
This is good advice, and if acted
upon by the negroes of the south it
would soon stop all race troubles. The
white man represents the superior
race of the worla, and it is better for
the negro to be friendly with, than an
enemy to him. The industrious ne
groes who attend to their own busi
ness and do not commit crimes get
along peaceably and accumulate
money in the south. We wish every
colored man in the south could read
and would follow Booker Washing
ton’s advice,
