ON LINCOLN DAY.
lioY. Russell's Speech Read B\ l.o^e
Harris.
(iOVIiRNOR (ilVHS OUT HIS VIEWS
I On Tho Progieas of 1 lie Republican
Parly in The Smith- -Also Touches
On l he Race Problem.
Chicago, Special.? The fifteenth an
nual Lincoln vay banquet of the Mar
quelle Club, was Riven tonight at the
Auditorium Hotel, covers being laid for
r?00 guests. 'Die nddnvss of Governor
I). I.. Russell, <?f North Carolina, on
"The Pmgre?s of RcpnhH<vm1sm In the
South," was read by Adjutant General
J. C. L. Harris, of North Carolina,
Governor Russell having been prevent-"
ed by ofllc-lal duties front leaving his
State. Murat Hal-toad and RepH'
Buutauvu JUcCleary. of Minnesota. were
llie other speakers. Governor Russell
said t ho opposition to negro suffrage
among the whites in the slave belt in
the South is almost a.s ;dr;-.ng apd uni
versal as was the devotion to the insti
tution of slavery. Tho mere presence
of the negro, coupled with the fact that
the Federal constitution guarantees
him on paper the right to vote equal
ly with any other citizen, having tho
sanW* tjualillcaUons, has been sufficient
to Keep the wJiitos solidly in one or
ganization, which they callthe Demo
cratic party. Thousands of them are,
In t'heir real sentiments, against the
Democratic party and these thousand^?
the property holdes and business mvn.
ae mostly at. war with the platform of
the Democratic party and in sympathy
with every tenet of the Republican
party.
If they resided in the free States
(States that, were not slaveholders)
thejj would be outspoken Republicans.
They have abandoned secession, chat
tel slavery and State rights on every
question but tho negro question, but as
to this, they have defied the national
government by flagrant, persistent and
successful nullification of its constitu
tion and Its laws. And to this nullifi
cation the North has submitted to an
qxtent that looks like condonation, if
not approval. If your war amend
ments can Tiot be enforced, would it
not be better to repeal them? Yet
these men will go into the Dcmocratio
primaries and vote this year for Bryan
and pray for McKlnley ? not only pray
for his policy, but also pray for his
re-election."
Two Islands Seized.
Manila, by Cable. ? It Is reported that
the United SIh(?m gun botrt Princeton
visited the Tatniias and C'alugan inl
ands, which were omitted from tiie
Paris treaty of peace, being north of
20 degrees of latitude, raised American
flags and appointed native governors.
It is added that the Princeton found
the Japanese flag at the Bayat Island,
and refrained landing there, pending
orders. Reports from native sources,
which are not confirmed, say General
PJqXel Pilar, the insurgent command
er, dieft-oX fever recently. The Prince
ton occup^d the Northern Islands un
der*, a government order. The report
f;hat\a Japanese flag was found flying
has notlbeen confirmed, but there is a
rumor that Japan /intended to- take the
islands. \Tho nativjps willingly snlwti
tuted the Aijiepiean for insurgent offi
cials, and tooK the oath of allegiance.
The natives of Samar and Iveyte are
returning to their towns and normal
conditions are being resumed.

publishing a, testimonial aa to the mW- '

written by one of the ladles who hue
born doing her little bit during. thq "7

is surely a heap fulHome for a volun

her remarks she Hays, *1 abhov a*-|uir

JerUy hllT at this remark jthat I clnerge

makes you vaguely remember the old ?
honeysuckle covered pofch that you
knew u quarter of a century ago; who
carries with her tho suggestion ?t ?
asphodeliau dales and starlit ni?adow?,. v
It isn't particularly because of tbe
elusive, hop-smoky, gardan^-Caphnv? "
fragrance that the perfumed woman
daintily emits that I think ahc.'s..Jihe
one and only real thing in long drap
eries. It's because she typifies the fem
inine woman. Glinmo a lyre, or a
harp, or a fuglehorn, or a kazoo ? any
old thing? that I may sing the praises
and tho glories of tho feminine wom
an! She was hero in tho world's early
dawn, and she's going to be right here
alongside of us when wo're having
$2.48 round trip excursions to Mars! ^
It's because she's feminine that ah"e"H^\
adorable! It's becauso every once la
awhile she gets her work done early
so she can .'go upstairs and have a
good cry;' it's because she crushes aa
into pulp with her 'because'; it^s. be
cause she admits our premises and d?- ?
nics our conclusions; it's because
sbo'll beg^i > to purse her lips for baby
talk vifgh she soes aa
away': It's because she loves reset ami
lacej things and only |2 per pound
candV; it's because she gives us the
reproachful eye when we ought to be "
sewed up in a blanket and olubbed; it's
because she'll dig and delve and
scrape^nd scrap for her husband and
her little 'ones until Icy stalactite** ?
hang /from the roof of Geheptffc; it's
because she dabs her eyes with a little
wad of mouchotr until her nose Is fed
when she ssss real ?
It's Just because she's feminine. Bill,
and therefore such a denied tic sight -
better than we are, that she had us on
the lope and plum locoover her ever .
since the days 0! the Hyksos kings of
Egypt! Gimmes lute that I may cfeaas
