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!” c -A- » T €3> Ti. X .

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, SUNRISE DOTS. Sunrise, April 12. —Mrs. Joe Logan was the guest of Mrs. J. M. Dingier last Wed; nesday.
