BOOKER, WASHINGTON'S ADVICE. - Ott. our first pago wo publish a lottor from Prof. Bookor T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Ala. j writtou to n promiuont negro lu North Carolina. Ho is tho most prominent loador of bis raco, as woll as a most sensible and practical man. Hoing a otoso obsorvor of mon and affairs bo h-vs learned tho lesson that his raco bas boon slow to leam, vis: That tho best .friends tho nogroos bavo aro tho whito tuon of ? he South. Tho mistako the negroes have boon making BO long is supposing that, thoy woro advancing thoir interests by antogo nibing tho whito mon in politics. It is oloarly to thoir intorost to coaso tho op position which has been manifested in tho past. Tho negro's homo is iu the South, and boro ho finds steady employ ment at tho hands of his whito neigh bors." Ho is accordod tho rights of free citizenship, ?md ho can labor unmolested in any of tho lines of industrial pursuit. Novor has a Southern State furnished such an instance of hostilo opposition as has boon dono within tho past fow roontbB in tho Stato of Illinois, and that, too, with tho sanction of tho Govornqr, who is a Republican. There tho negro has boon driven from tho mines at tho point of tho bayonet and forced to lcavo tho Stato. Bloody coull iota between tho whito and black miners have been fre quent, and mob violonco has boon meted out to tho negro becauso ho wanted to work. ic is for an entirely di it?rent cause that tho 'mob bas sometimes visited swift punishment upon certain individual of fenders among the negroes in tho South. Thoro is ono crimo that always Calls forth a speedy reckoning, but Vu these instances tho anger of tho whito man is stirred against tho individual offondor, and not against tho raco. Should a whito man bo guilty of a similar offense ho would moot with tho samo condign punishment. Truo, tho raco problem is tho most lan ions ono demanding tho attontion of both races. Thoro is, and will continuo to bo, much ncod for thc oxerciso of patience and forbearance A question of such far-reaching consequences can not bo sottlod in tho eourso of a fow years. It has boen thirty-four j.lars sinco tho negro obtained his freedom, and ho has not yet learned his exact BtntuB ns a race. Ono generation has almost passed away, and others will doubtless do so before his station is recognized and, established. In the meantime ho should learn to labor and to walt. Tho decrcos of tho God of nat ure muft bo porforincd by both races, and it is certain that tho Anglo-Saxon is tho king among tho nations of tho earth. Ho is king of tho Old World and king of tho Now. Ho is such by tho divino right of a Buporior innate manhood. He is tho ruler among mon wherever found, but bis rule ii? that of justice, morey and truth. Tho highest phase of civilization is attained undor his sway, and its bene ficent result? will bo shared by tho negro as a raco just in proportion to his sub mission to thc inevitable decrees of fate. Wo bavo novor felt any undue anxiety over tho ultimate solution of tho race problom along right lines, however dark and foreboding the situation sometimes appears. It is better to look on the bright sido of tho picture and OX peet t lie conservativo sonso of both races, under Divino guidance, to achieve the highest good of All. THE POLICY OF IMPERIALISM. * lt is becoming moro and more evident that tho subjugation Of tho Philippines no email task. In the latest dispatches it is announced that ono hundred thou sand troops will be required to subdue the islands. Tho tropical climate is ono of tho hardest obstacles for our troops to overcome. It ls haiti lo fight guerrillas in such a country. Cen. Lawton has been ordered to return to Manilla immediately on ac count of tho condition of his mon. Thus all the territory heretofore cn p tu rod will bo ovaouated, vory much to his regret. On Monday (len, Lawton authorized the correspondent of the New York World to ntako this statement: "Tho present prospect is that 100,000 troops will bo necessary to pacify the Philippine islands. The difllcultios in tho way aro those of lighting guerillas in a tropical conn try. With my brigade, I could force my way from one end of tho island to tho other if 1 did not bavo to hold tho territory I traversed. Dut leav ing garrison behind would soon eat tip tho whole force."

Tho palo, sallow, sunkon-ohookod, dis tressed-looking peoplo you ?o cite;; 'moot aro nillictcd with "kidnoy complexion." Thoir kidneys aro turning to a parsnip color. So is thoir complexi?n. They may also have indigestion, or suitor from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain t rouble, nervous exhaus tion and sometimes tho heart act? badly. The causo is weak, unhealthy kidnoys. Usually tho sufforoi from kidney dis oaso does not lind out what tho troublo is until it is almost too lato, because tho first symptoms aro BO like mild sickness that thoy do not think thoy need a medi cine or a doctor until they lind them selves sick in bcd.

To tho Ladios of Urtu ordain Association. Realising tho importanoo of a united offort on our part, in regard to missions, wo earnestly request each church bolong Ing to this association to organizo a Ladies' Missionary Society. At tho last association only four churches wore reported as having organ ized societies. This work is important and easily accomplished with a reasona ble amount of perseverance. It is not a separato part of church work, but is generally considered a necessary auxil iary. Thoroforo wo deem it tho duty of every church to fOS tor theso socictios. Tho Denvordam Association has some thing over thirty churches, with twelve or (?ficen hundred members. If each member would ?ivo one-fourth of a dol lar for missions it is easy to seo that this association could support a missionary. Somo of tho churches bavo given libe rally for this causo and wo hopo thoy will continue to do so, but thoro aro seve ral that ha' .> ^iven nothing if tho records aro correct. Wo hopo tho pastor of eaoh church will urge their lady mombors to begin this work at tinco, Nothing is to bo gained by putting it off, A hotter roport is earnestly desired at the noxt association.

Thai Cough Hangs on j You have used alh I sorts of cough reme I dies but it does not } yield ; it is too deep seated. It may wear itself out in time, but it is more liable to produce la grippe, pneumonia or a seri ?I ous throat affection. You need something that will give you strength and build up the body. SCOTT'S EMULSION will (lo this when everything else fails. There is no doubt about it. lt nourishes, : strengthens, builds up and makes the body strong and ; healthy, not only to throw off this hard cough, but to fortify the system against further attacks.
