J'lour $4.50 Potatoes, 6u ~ 70c General San Mlarnel nt Hend of m "Unlike the Indian, tlie original Mexican or the Hawaiian, tbe negro, so far from dying out when in contact with a stronger and different race, has continued to increase in numbers to such au extent that whereas the race enr tctjHl bondage twenty in number there are now more than 0.0(10,000. So I want to emphasize the truth that whether we are of northern or of southern birth, whetber we are black or white, we must face frankly the hard, stubborn fact that in bondage and in freedom tbe negro, in spite of all predictions to tbe contrary, has continued year by year to increase in numbers until be now forms about one-seventh of the entire population and that there are no signs that the same ratio of increase will hot hold good in the future. Hurther than this, despite all tbe changing, uncertain conditions through which tbe race lias passpd and is passing, you will find that every year since the biaclc man came Into this country, whether iu bondage or in freedom, be has made a steady gain in acquiring property, skill, habits of industry, education and Christian character.

Y„ Feb. 23-Nlkola Tesla, the Servian wizard, whose feats in the electrical field have made blm one of tbe most remarkable men of the century, is busy putting up • strange and costly plant here that promises to make necromancy an everyday affair. To the fertile mind of the Servian, when his wireless plant isD finished, there will be nothing Impossible. From the buildings there lie promises to run the busy wheels of Industry in this city, to make wireless telephoning easy and certain, to operate an electric launch far at sea or to run automobiles any and every where, only that their electric attachments be attuned to the power at mysterious Wardenclyffe.

WILLIAMS and M'ANULTY London, Feb. 23.—The Birmingham - Post states that an important government announcement is pending concerning the new relationship between the imperial and various cplonial governments. The home government, the paper says, has admitted in principle the justice of the demand made by the colonies that they be given some actual voice in the expenditure of their naval contributions. Should the statement prove true. It is not probable that the colonial governments will be satisfied with a tacit admission of the justice of thetr demand. It is likely the matter will further arouse colonial irritations and protest. now 6c a yard.
