Tiie time has come when the attention*
of the entire nation has been, and ju*t- j
i so, turne ! to the degrading and inhu
mai evil of lyehing. The matter h? now
balure Congress*, and while it m?y de
luasvi ?mell discussion, will eventually
rcsutt ;;i tiie enacting of a la v to sup
press this barbarous treatment perp?tr?t
ed noon Negroes. In the Senat"
T. a en d ay of last week, "Mr. j
LuUoin of Illinois presented a petition,]
handsomely bound, and s?igne I hy 3,200 j
colored persons, asking for such legisla
tion as will protect colored men of this
country from the ;b*.rbarious practices
of lynching and burning colored men.'
iii*. Hoar, ehairnian of the judiciary
^.committee, sit I hf believed every sena
?or would be glad to have such measures
opte I as w o'ild suppress this wrong
<?mng and enable officers to enforce the
Ki^a >' ) senator, he thought, would
(lisa^ge io that. He directed attention
to tfirvkcV'that the State laws take cog
nizMieeW the cri ines referred to in the
petitionary what constitutional meth
od the Unit**] States could take action
in this question was a difficult inquiry."
In las week's issue of the Messenger,
under ?he caption "Depends upon who
it is," we wrote as follows:
Our attention was attracted by an ar
ticle in Tues .ay's State headed "Bad
boys steal brass/' in which we were again
impressed that the punishment for crime,
or rather whether one Ls punished for
a crime or not, depends more upon the
class or condition of the person commit
ting tlie .'rime than upon the crime com
mitted. That tile readers of the Messen
ger may see om of the reasons for our o .
elusion, wc give them word for word, uie
article as it appeals in the State:
li ?ejntly considerable quantities of
brass have been missed from the South
''^rn railway shop yards. An investiga
Aon by the police le 1 to the discovery of
a'a organization of white boys, all in
their teen>s. Some 10 or 12 in'nmnbers
which had been formet! for the*purpose of
securing this brass, melting it up and sel
ling it. The boys had a tent in the eas
tern suburbs in an ol 1 tiel I,wherein was
a stove, which they used for melting the
brass. No one had any suspicion that
the boys were up to anything illegal. Fi
aially one of them soi ? some brass to a
junk dealer an I was arrested,he gave the
whole tiling away an 1 the boys scatter
ed ami began dodging the police. Seve
ral were captured, however, and were
before the police court yesterday.
The Southern officials, on account-of
respectability of the parents of nearly vii
the boys, decidid not to prosecute
them, provided they are given proper
punishment At home.
The lads would. go through passenger
?coaches in the yards and secure every
peiee of brass they could get ofi^ no mat
ter what its value or how it disfigured the
.coaChes.
But the day-offreckoning has come,
and most of the youthful band are truly f
penitent for the deed* that would under
other circumstances have lan Je J them
in prison."
To show o"r many readers that we were
not merely tilling space with empty van
ity, hut were dealing with facts too plain
to be misunderstood,-facts that are
daily presenting themselves to the pub
lic, we reproduce the following clipped
from the same publication, issued on the
same day of the week, just one week
late-, and treating upon the
very ?au? subject; but beheld? j
this time they are n e g r o e s in

less able to pay the charges heaped upon
them. The alarming story runs thus:

The art of preparing food or cooking is
often much neglected not that our peo
ple can't cook, or wont do so when
brought to te*?t. But far too much care
lessness is[allowedin preparing our plain
every dav meals.. It is just as necessary
to know how to cook salt pork as to
roast a turkey and more so, because the
turkeys come fur a part. And the art of
making bread belongs to the few. How
can aman l>e expected to perform a days
work after breakfasting on wiiat sonic
call bread? no won 1er ii he is cross to all
the world and things all seem wrong, why
his:digestive organs are having a war
eq?aled only hy that now being waged in
South Africa. The coffee made by nine
tenths of our people is enough to un
string the nerves of the world the woman
who can in her own house, make a ?le- j
j licious cup ot colit e its a jewel. WVli cook
ed appetizing meals cause happiness
ami contentment! Almost any person
thinks, "I know how to cook hominy,"
not so, for it is usually cooked in a hur
ry when it should be boiled one and a
half hour try it and you will be surpris
ed. No girl should think herself accom
plished who can not prepare aili! ha 'e a
tempting and healthful meal. We have
had to put forward our best ? irons to
prepare food for others let us see to it
that we do the same for our loved ones.
Anti that without compulsion but feel it
a duty we owe posterity. Better cooks,
longer lives and healthy children.
We will hear less about indigestion j
and altogether find less friction in our
duilv life.

this game, as Senators Ilal?. and Mason
were among the speakers at a public
meeting lasjt night, which was advertized
as a i4Boer cf em o 11st ra tion." ..
The-House will devote three days, be

doubt of the.seating Qf Mr. Aldrich.
Chairman Payne, of the Howse Ways

providing lor an exltnsi?n of 0. S. laws
to Porto Kico and the establishment of
customs and Hi ter hal revenue collecta n
districts on the island, which is-now be
ing considered., by that committee: "lt is
al .ng the line suggested by fctem Davis,
Gov. j General of Poi to Rico; * Ge.n. Roy
Stone, who has had extenuad exj>en
ence there; the Porto Rican delegation,
now in Washington, and those "represen
tatives of -American Commercial inter
ests who have spoken on the subject'
The. bill is hot the result of any .confer.
euee -or agreement, but. 1 think it ex- j
presses' the general view of those who j
have followed the hearing, The essen
tial point is that the legislation will aid
Porto Rico, without in any way .njuring
American interests."
That .Mr. Bryan is beginning to realize I
that his party has got on the wrong side
of the expansioiijiuestion was shown,
while he was in Washington, a day or
two ago, by his advising the democratic
senators and Representatives to be
very particular in iheir language when
discussing the question publicly, and by
his saying in an authorized interview:**!
am nol opposed-to ali jwepausion; each
proposed annex a tion <-must be set t lea
upon its'owii mVnts." it is the;old. old
democratic srory./ In every Presidential
campaign for yej*rsrthat party has favor
ed, or prcptet?deM t O* - favor, any
oiuthing thatpromised to catch voters,
and has not hesitated to laver a thing
in one locality and oppo-e:it in'another.
before the, X^njp'aign gefeiaiiiy starte?},
democratic speakers and Editors are
likely to be dedaring that they have
never opposed expansion at all: that it
is only the,bugaboo they have themselv
es manufactured and labeled-''imperial
ism" which they;Opposed. That sort of
game isn't4ikely to fool anybody. There
are no imperialists rn th ii? country, and
are not h Kel y to be*.

by a vote of 4 to\l, turne I down the re -
? coiimienatiou of the Naval officers who,
after witnessing the triais of the subma
rine torpedo boat Holland, thought the
government ought to buy the boat
which.is now at tire Washington Navay
Yard. The reason given for tue action
of the Board was that this class of boat
is still in the experimental stage. In

The House adopel an important
amendment to the regular Pension Ap
! propitiation Bill, before passing it. It
j authorizes the Conimissisner of Pensions
to withold the fee of any attorney when
li?' has knowledge that the attorney has
not discharge i his full duty to the clai
mant, it is s ii 1 to h ive been the prac
tice of some attorneys to ?lo nothing to*
ward-getting a case allowed, after they
tiled it, trusting to the claimant getting
some member of Congress to push it
I through, knowing that being the attor
1 ney of record in the case, they could not
be kept out of their fee when it was al
io we? 1.
Secretary Wilson was one of the most
pleased men in Washington when Presi.
dent McKinley, declined to pardon the
Pliila el bia merchants, who are s rvirg
a term m prison for violating the oleom
argarine laws, as he had fought the ap
plic dion for pardon from the first, claim
ing that to pardon them would encour
age violations of those laws which were
j enacted for the protection of the dairy
interests of the country as well as that of
the consumers of butter.
