Thompson. & Co., of St. Louis, have recently published a valuable work on the race question by Rev. J. J. Pipkin. The volume bears the title "The Negro, in Revelation,, in History and in Citizenship," and pre sents a comprehensive view of the work of the black race in arms, art, letters, the pulpit, the forum, the school and the marts of trade. Gen. John B. Gordon, commander-in-chief of the confederate veterans and one of the great men of the south, has written an introduction to the work after acquainting himself with the contents of the book. It is written to show what the members of his race can accomplish "with those mighty weapons in the battle of life, the shovel and the hoe." It is adver tised as a message to all the members of the "negro race who are trying to solve tho race problem for themselves. The price in cloth is ?2.00; in half Russia, $2.75. - v A sensation was caused recently by the announcement that the oil mag nate, John D. Rockefeller, had sent to several senators telegrams appealing to them to oppose all anti-trust leg islation at this time. It is believed that the president will call an extra session of congress unless "satisfac factory" anti-trust legislation is on-acted. On February 11 tho court of claims rendered a decision of far-reaching importance to the naval establishment and if this decision is sustained by tho supreme court it will affect every court-martial case tried during the post forty years in which the sontence involved a loss of pay. The decision was based on tho broad ground that tho accused should bo furnished with a copy of tho charges and specifica tions on which he is to be tried and this practice has not been followed in these cases heretofore. On February 7 the house passed an anti-trust bill by a unanimous vote. As passed, the bill requires corpora tions "hereafter organized" to file re turns covering their articles of in corporation, financial composition, condition, etc., with the interstate commerce commission, on penalty of being prevented from engaging in in terstate commerce; prqscribes penal ties for false returns, etc. Some discussion arose in the house on February 0 regarding the validity or! tbe business dono in the house on the day bioro, which was Sunday, when the Conference report on the department of commerce bill was pre sented. Speaker Henderson held that it was regular, but this opinion was overruled by the house. The republican senatorial advocates of a compromise statenood bill have prepared their measure for the admis sion of the two states, Oklahoma and Indian territory, to comprise one state and Arizona and New Mexico the oth er. This bill is to be brought before the committee on territories as soon as possible. During tho discussion of the sundry civil appropriation bill in the .house on February 11 several amendments were introduced for the completion of the east front of the capitol and the erection of an office building for the members, the total cost of which is estimated at $3,100,000 and tho com pletion of the capitol to be put at $2,500,000. Both these amendments were adopted and a commission ap pointed to supervise the wprk of erection. It is regarded as probable that Cap tain Charles D. Sfgsbee, who was in command of the battleship Maine when she was destroyed in the har bor of Havana, will be assigned to duty as commandant of the navy yard at Bremerton, Wash., to succeed Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, who will take charge of the Philippine squadron of the Atlantic fleet The conference on the bill providing for a department of commerce was agreed to in the senate on February 11 and the bill now goes to the presi dent This law will malte the ap pointment of another cabinet officer necessary. By a vote of 241 to G the Elkins bill prohibiting rebates to shippers passed the house on February 13, and it was intimated that with the passage of this measure the anti-trust legislation for this session Is complete. The Jefferson Memorial. Washington, D. C, Feb. 2, 1903. To the American People: Tho Thom as Jefferson Memorial association has been organized to take up tho long-neglected duty of erecting a fit ting memorial to tho memory of tho man who wrote the Declaration of Independence. We have here beautiful and costly tributes to tho memory of American" soldiers, sailors, statesmen, physi cians, inventors and philanthropists; and the soldiers and sailors of France are honored; but there is not one tablet to the memory of that great American, Thomas Jefferson. We ask the people to contribute, according to their ability, to this me morial. Congress will not be asked for money, as we rely solely upon the people, the young and the old, tho children and their parents, for the success of tho movement. Tho char acter and cost of the proposed memor ial cannot now be stated, but it will be appropriate to the greatness of tho man and the importance of the docu ment from which his name is Insepar able. Rigid economy will be observed In the expenses of carrying on the work. Every contributor will receive a certificate acknowledging his subscrip tion, and carrying with it member ship in the Dssociation. In time to come these certificates will be "badges of honor." Contributions, checks, money-orders or drafts should be made payable to the order of the treasurer of the as sociation, Mr. Jesse B. Wilson, presi dent of the Lincoln National bank. The people will be kept informed of all important actions of the associa tion. Communications addressed to the secretary, Mr. W. S. McKean, will receive prompt and reipectlM atten tion. GEORGE DEWEY, Admiral of the Navy, President Wants to Know. Says Director of the, Mint Roberts "The best assurance of a continuance of prosperity for another year lies in tho great crops that have been har vested, which assure an income to the farmers and business for the rail ways, in tho large enterprises under way and in contracts which, unless canceled, will give employment to the Iron industry throughout the year." That is all right for the crops that have been harvested, but a matter of more interest now is next season's crops, most, of which are not yet planted. Cannot Mr. Roberts' party, as the creator of all our prosperity, give us some assurance that it will vouchsafe us good crops this year and consequently a continuance of good times next year?
