One Year, payable In advance $2.00 EDITORIAL I Speaking of the close election In Maryland, W. L. Llghtner, county commissioner of this county, made the remark yesterday tltnt it was a good thing:, and resulted from the Rood, re sponsible people disfranchising the coons of that stntc. This remark Is an Insult to every colored man In this county, nearly every ono of whom voted for I.tghtucr last June, and they should remember It if he comes up for office again. There are a good many responsible taxpaying Nsgro voters in this city, who have done nothing dc scrvlng n gratuitous Insult on the part of this chronic office seeker, and who have nothing to be ashamed of except voting for him. pooplo to attend Ills public receptions, as ho did. Let tho heathen rage, and imagine a vain thing as they did when thoy tried to nrottso projtidlco agnlnBt tho President on account of theso acts. Tho Southern chivalry may bo an gry enough now to go out and lynch a few moro "Niggers," for perhaps trivial offenses, or possibly for nono at all, but they will novcr succeed In inducing tho pcoplo of tho North or tho West to shnro their absurd rnco prejudices, nor to hold tho President in less esteem becnuso ho considers a colored man or woman a human being, and entitled to his legal rights, and considerations no a citizen. lshmcnt. No wonder a good many pcoplo aro asking what is tho uso in paying some of tho detectives wo have 7 COCO A NUT CALLED A FRUIT. SPLINTERS. PHILANTHROPIC DEQUESTS. A GREAT VICTORY. It was a grcnt republican victory. Tho Now Ago can fairly lay claim to bolng nn "Mold-you-Bo," for It has pre dicted tho result alinoBt exactly ns It turned out for wooks past. It said not only that thcro wtui no doubt what ever of HooHovolt'n election by a vory largo majority, but that ho would probably carry ovory Northern state, nu ho did. Hut oven Tho Now Ago, with nil its confidence In this romilt, did not figure on ho tremendous u Inmhilldo nn occurred. Wo woro not in much doubt about Now York, but had no lilen tho majority thoro would bo no big. Wo hnd uomo slight nluul owh of doubts nbout two or three lit tlo western states, but thoy havu not only gone republican, but by big ma jorities, too. Tho republican victory Ih tho greatest "since tho war," nnd it was deserved In both wnyH posi tively, by President Roosovolt, and negatively, by tho democrats, who had no doflnlto policy and stood for noth ing both good nnd tangible After nerving threo nnd a half years of McKlnloy's term, President Roose velt will now luivo a term of his own, making practically two tonus, nnd will rotlro nt tho end of Ills second term, when only a fow months past CO years old. Mo will hnvo had the most wonderful political career of any man who uver llvod In America, and ho stands today tho biggest figure In tho world, not excepting any emperor or king or czar. President Roosovolt deserved hln gront victory. lo Is vigorous, vigi lant, nctlvo, honest, a man of tre mendous physical and mental re sources, a man of groat nnd varied abilities, n man of tho highest kind of moral courago, nn enthusiastic Amor lean and patriot, and can and will servo tho pooplo In this great ofllco for tho uoxt four yours ns no other man could liavo dono. So Tho New Ago gladly Joins In nu enthusiastic hurrah for Roosovolt. It Is to bo hoped that the courts will reject tho claims of Bomo natural thotiRh distant heirs to tho will of Mrs, Amanda Reed, who loft such a splendid bequest to this city, nnd others for philanthropic purposes. Thcro Is no doubt of what her Inten tions were, nor that alio wns perfectly cnpablo of disposing of her grcnt wealth. She had no children; her relatives wero all gonorouBly rcmom- bcrod In her will, nnd hnvo no need of her money; nnd It Is only on n tech nicality thnt their claim Is made. Tho wholo public Is Interested In tho enr rylng out of such benefactions. Mrs. Reed's gift wnB tho greatest that has over fallon to tho lot of this commun ity, though thoro hnvo been several others tho Into Henry Corbctt, Don nld Mnclcay, Miss Smith, John Wilson, Mrs. Hurrell nnd sumo others; nnd their beneficent wishes ought to bo respected by everybody, oven tho courts.

Thnt Judgo's scat looks mighty com- fortnblo to Mr. Parker now. WatBon Is tho logical democratic nominco for 1908. Not many democrats will seek run for ofllco In Oregon In 1900. to O, WHERE ARE THEY? A BOOMERANG ISSUE. Tho north nnd west two-thirds of tho country hnvo answered the nhrleklngB of tho South ngulitBt Rous ovolt and If nearly half tho constitu tional voters of tho South had not been disfranchised tho nuswer to IIioho bowlings would hnvo buon mndo thero too. A groat cry of real or nf focted Indignation went up becnuso tho Prosldout received at luncheon ono of tho most useful, noblo and dis tinguished cltlzona of tho United States merely bornuso ho wns col ored. Tho negrophoblsts howled again whon tho President appointed n colored woman, In ovory wny flt for tho position, ono sho had flllod for years, as postmistress of a llttlo southern scttlomcnt, and again when ho appointed a gentleman and a schol ar and an ablo bualneBs nnd profes sional man as collector of tho port of Charleston. Tho Southorn chivalry seemed to imaglno that tho rest of tho country would respond lu approv ing sympathy to their howl, but thoy woro greatly mistaken. Their great "raco Issuo," with which In their nar row nnd porvortcd environment thoy wero going to boat tho President, proved a boomerang. Thoy ought to understand now that tho rest of tho country thinks nono tho loss of Pres ident Roosovolt for sitting down to tablo with Booker Washington, for ap pointing threo or four colored pooplo to ofllco, or for allowing well-educated, -wollbohavod, woll-drosBod colored Tho domoc'rnlB received n torrlblo blow this time; particularly that wing of tho democratic pnrty that got tho control of tho party nway from Bryan and nominated Parker. Brief and In- glorious wnH their enreor. If Bryan ran tho mnchlno Into tho ditch, thoy have run It over a preclplco nnd nmashed It to smithereens. Tho Clovelnnd-Dnvo Hill-Belmont crowd of democrats aro not only knocked down but knocked nut, not only crushed hut annihilated. Tho control of tho party, what shreds and patches of It thoro aro left, will now fall Into tho hands of Billy Hearst nnd Billy Bryan, nnd tho others will quietly pass over Into tho republican pnrty, for though Brynn and Henrst stayed with them, tho Bol luoutltos will not roclprocnto tho fav or.

Taa mooted question whether the cocoanut is omciauy regarded m a "nut" or a "fruit" baa been eettled in report on cocoanuta recently made by the Department of Agriculture. Al though known as a nut, the depart ment characterizes It aa "a tropical fruit" The report eayB in part: "With the exception of a few hun dred dollars' wortb grown annually In Florida no cocoanuts aro produced in continental United States. A tropical frut, grown almost exclusively on isl and! and in tropical countries border ing upon tho sun, there Is llttlo terri tory in tho United States proper adapt ea to Its cultivation.

"With tho acquisition of territory after tho close of tho Spanish-American war thcro enmo into tho possession of tho United States n number of isl ands upon which cocoanut production is n considerable economic factor. In tno Philippines It not only plnys nn important part In tho domestic econo my of tho pcoplo, but tho exnortutlon of copra (dried meat of tho cocoanut) constitutes one of tho largest Items of their export trade, returning to tho nrchlpelago from $2,000,000 to $4,000, 000 a year. In tho small island of Tutulla of tho Snmonn group copra Is the chief nrtlclo of export, upward of COO tons being shipped out annually. In Porto Rico tho area In cocoanuts in 1800, according to tho census, wns 0,447 acres. From nono of these pos sessions, however, docs tho United States now obtain nny important part of its heavy Imports of cocoanuts and their products. "These nuts nnd their products nro Imported into tho United States prin cipally In threo forms, ns cocoanuts in tho shell, ns copra, broken meat, deslc cated and not desiccated, and as co connut oil. Of theso by far tho most important, ns measured by value, Is cocoanut oil, tho deliveries from cus tomhouses and warehouses for con sumption In tho United States in tho fiscal year ended June SO, 1003, hav ing been 40,074,800 pounds, valued at $2,404,442.

Now and then the roof descended al most to tho surface of the mud, and lu such places they could prevent suffo cation only by blowing the mud away from their noees. At ono time the mud suddenly began to rise, and they were horrified by tho fenr that they were about to bo engulfed lu another rusii. When they had reached tho placo of which they had spokeu, low moans reached their ears. A moment later the Kaffir boys were lu their arms.

Of theso U0,000,000 tho Roman Catholics number moro than one-third. It Is calculated that since 1800 thoCathollcs In tho United States havo increased nbout 00 per cent, or over -1.000,000. Considerable of this Incrcnso was due to Immigration. In tho same fourteen years tho growth of tho population cannot hnvo been more Uinn UO or, at the most, U5 per cent. The Roman Catholics constitute about 15 per cent of tho entire popula tion of tho United Stntes. In somo great cities and States they nro far stronger than that proportion would indicate. Nearly or ipilto one-third of tho population of Now ork City nro Catholics and the perceutngo Is almost ns great In Cleveland. It must be still higher In Boston, whero tho French Canadian element Is largo and fast In creasing, According to Dr. I.nldlaw tho Prot estant Church members have Increased SS per cent sluco 1800, thus gaining at least as fast as tho gross population of tho United States.
