It em- braces 4,500,000 acres of the most wonderfully fertile and in- eahaustible land capable of the widest range of agricultural pro- ductions and steck-raising, and having unequaled facilities for transpos{ation by rail or river. The surface is generally level with sufficient undulations to collect the surplus rainfall into numer- ous bayous and petty lakes whicl form an admirable system of nat- ural drainage, flowing southeas! tothe Sunflower, Tallahatchie, and Yazoo rivers. The Delta is composed largely of what was known as the reservations of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians and numerous evidences of the occupation of the land by these silent and morose children of the virgin forests may yet be observ- ed in the large mounds scattered throughout the region, which have successfully resisted the de- stroying processes of time and civilization. That portion of the land bor- dering on the Mississippi, Yazoo, Sunflower, and Tallahatchic riv- ers, was considerably opened up by slave-labor in ante-bellum days; various clearings were also commenced in the interior under the same regime, but it generally remained an almost impenetra- ble wilderness of big cane and massive timber. Being largely subject to overflow and unpro- ductive to private holders, much of it reverted to the state and was donated to levee improvement; but little development took place however, until the advent of the L. N. O. & T. R. R., which sys- tem purchased nearly a million of acres and floated a large num- ber of bonds for protection against overflow. There may be differences of opinion as to the true discoverer of the Delta, but there can be no denial of the fact that the Negro has been a most potent factor in redeeming it, to become a priceless heritage for coming generations. About the year 1882 the main line of the railroad was complet- edand small towns began to spring up from five to ten miles apart to manufacture of staves for export was the first business of importance, in conjunction with cotton-raising. Cotton still remains the standard product and :aintains a wide reputation for excellent of fibre and length of staple. The Negroes were then as now the mainstay in Cutting down the cane and the brier- thickets, deadening the forests, cutting and piling the brush and huge logs, and burning the same, which constitutes the slow and laborious process of bringing the soil into cultivation: they soon began to be brought in to dc contract work, and as wage-hand: and share-workers. Later on, large saw-mill and lumbering es- tablishments began to be set up and these plants have continued to follow every newly-establish ed line of the railways that nov cover the Delta like net work. At the outset the mills importec skilled labor, but colored helt was soon largely enlisted, and i PRS AP at trieese ial ty 1H potent noche atiledia nanier | ChECKIng Jumber, at wages rang- ing from one dollar to two dol- lars and a half per day. About the year 1884 the L. N, O. & 1. R. R. Company took up the idea of enlisting the interest of colored people as land purch- asers, and small settlements were planted at Shaw, Shelby, Dun- can, Clarksdale, Lula, Tunica, and Hollywood; these have con- tinued to expand and flourish, the acreage now held in each numbering well into the thous- ands, Thewriter first began to study the possibilities of the race in the Delta in 1885—86, and as- sisted in locating a few families at Shaw. Inthe summesof 1887, the land-commissioner of the L. N. O. & T. R’y induced him to make atrip up the road witha view of selecting a favorable lo- cality to work in, asa result of which the site of Mound Bayou vas chosen and the first settlers nnoved up during the winter and spring. The place derives its name from two bayous which ex- tend for miles, one to the north- east and the other to the north- west, gradually nearing in their course southward, until a junc- ition is formed at an enormous mound (some distance southeast ofthe town) from whence the twin bayous flow in one bed to the Sunflower River. The situation was wild and un- inviting; the colonists, consisting of some thirty or more families, had but little means left after making their first land payments and providing transportation; there were no houses and not lover seventy-five acres of tillable land in the vicinity available to be rented. They set bravely to work however, building rude cab- ins out of split logs and flooring them with split puncheons; they supported themselves by making railroad-ties, staves, stave-bolts, etc. until sufficient land could be opened up for agricultural oper- ations. The first patches plant- ed in corn were extensively prey- ed upon by bears and coons; deer of all sizes frequented the new openings in herds like cattle, to feed upon the tender young mutton-cane; panthers were fre- quently seen and the howling of packs of wolves was common mu- sic as nightfall approached. Not- withstanding the dismal out-look accessions continued to come in; about 1891 the town of Mound Bayou was laid out, and town officers were appointed and com- missioned by the governor of the state. The population is now about 250, while something like 1,500 reside on the small farms surrounding, varying from 40 to 200 acres, and comprising alto- gether about 15,000 acres, be- tween a fourth and a third of which is under cultivation. The acreage of cultivated land is greatly increased every year and new settlers are continually flock- ing in and purchasing land. The town contains nine busi- ness houses, the largest being conducted by the widow of one of the founders of the colony whom she succeeded as railway ticket agent; her _ business amounts to about $12,000.00 per annum, and that of the othe houses varies from $2,000 to $6,_- 000.00 per annum.

President McKinley will visit Topeka, and our Commercial clab has selected a committee of business men and citizens to make the necessary arrange- ments. This visit means much to Kansas and Topeka. Just what part our people will be in- vited to play, in this highly in- teresting event remains to be seen, Unfortunately for us the Negro does not cut a wide swarth in public affairs, except in politi- cal campaigns and in the census table. Thousands of visitors from all parts of the State will be attracted to the city to see President McKinley and his par- ty. Weare a patrioti: people and should not allow ‘the sting and arrows of outraged fortune’ to prevent us from doing proper homage to the nations chief ex- ecutive. WHAT ONE NEGRO HAS DONE, In these times when so much complaint of inability to obtain remunerative employment is heard among our people, it is refreshing to turn to the work of one of ourrace, Very few peo- ple in Topeka know “Jim” Clark. “Jim’’ as he is familiar- ly known among his friends doe: not pose asa great leader, not has he the usual frills of L. L. D. Ph. D., D. D., or any other in. comprehensible suffixes tacked onto his name. Jim Clark is just a plain, common, every day Negro, who would be passed a hundred times on Kansas Aven- ue, witheut notice. But ‘Jim” owns a pair of ancient horses and an equally ancient wagon, and does a bit of teaming the year round and breaking in the spring. Finding it impossible to pick up enough of the filthy lu- cre, hauling offal and garbage, Jim began in a mild way raising hogs in his back yard. Living out in the suburbs, it was nc trick to fence in a few lots an¢ soon the squealing cf a dozen employing from one to two teach- ers. There are three Baptist churches, one Christian or Camp- bellite, one A. M. E, and one M, E, (the latter in course of erec- tion). The town has one of the finest depots on the railroad, several good dwellings, and quite a num- ber of neat cottages; the log huts constructed during the early days of the settlement have been almost entirely superseded by neat cabinsand cottages, between thirty and forty of which were constructed during the last fall and winter. Mound Bayou pre- cinct is one of the largest voting places in the county (under the Australian ballot, constitution of 1890); it always votes over- whelmingly dry in local option elections. The community en- joys ihe reputation of paying tax- es promptly, and causing little or no expense to the state in crim- inal prosecutions. I estimate that the colored people own and pay taxes on Delta land as follows, to-wit: ee Washington “40,000 ** Coahoma «40,000 * Tallahatchie 7,000 “ Quitman ** 10,000 ** Yazoo "7,500 “ Sharkey * "10,000 * Sunflower ** 40,000 Bolivar «* 60,000 ** Leflore “7,500 ** Tunica “17,500 ** Makine a total of 22¢.000 acre: gShoats acced to the imbarmoni- ous croaking of the frogs. All fall and winter ‘Jim’? has kept up the habit of putting a dollar or twointo shoats, and going about from house to house haul- ing ‘‘swill.”". When the spring opened up, “Jim had fifty head of fat hogs, weighing two hun- dred and fifty pounds each, pen- ed up in his back yard, and hogs on the market worth six and one- eighth cents. Here was a neat little sum of seven hundred and fifty dollars net profit ona win- ter’s work. Pretty good for a black man who finds the avenues of employment constantly clos- ing. “Jim” Clark is neither a dude nor a politician, so none of the boys need have fits expecting to see him galavanting down the avenue dressed in purple and fine linen. Neither need they expect to seehim ‘come out’? for some city or county office. — Heis but a “plain blunt man" who will go right on raising hogs and hauling garbage. UNNECESSARY DISCRIMINATION. Mrs. Thorpe, our very pleas- ant Police Matron, has no warm- er admirer than the editor of this paper. We regard the work she is doing in the interest of fallen humanity, as truly noble and worthy the highest appreciation. But it doesseem to us that Amer- icau race prejudice brings about a great deal of unnecessary dis- crimination. And it seems clear that no real permanent good is accomplished through the appa- rent enforced separation of the races. In the Sunday issue of the Daily Capital will be found a glowing tribute to the industrial work among the poorer classes of the city, of which Mrs. Thorpe is the center. There seems to be special emphasis placed on the fact that “the Negro children are taught at the city prison and the white children in the Veale block." The Plaindealer fails to see the necessity for this con- dition to obtain. With a splen- did Industrial Institute in this city, and a sewing circle in every one of ournineteen Negro church- es, it does seer to be a sad_re- flection on the pride of our peo- ple, that their children must be sent to the city prison to learn manual training. Our people are entirely too familiar with the city prison. There can be no associa- tion however beneficial and pleas- ant which redounds to the best interest of the child, coming from this place. Negro children, no more than whites, should be ta- ken to the city prison to be edu- cated. Rather, in the homes, in the school and everywhere, our children should be taught to fear and abhor such places. No fam- ily in this city is too poor to send their children to the Institute or to the Tennesseetown Kinder- garten. WE ARE NOT SO BAD. One is Ied to infer from the multitude of articles appearing in the daily papers and in the cur- rent magazines appealing to the generous public to donate some- |thing for the relicf of Negroes that our people were in acon dition of mental and moral de- pravity, desides which the fanati cal boxer’? of China or the bood thirsty noble Yaquis be dicen inet Re: CP fe 2B eae. po Baya: sespectable: seat, ap plies for a house ina neighbor- hood, heretofore, unoccupied by a colored American, straightway, the houses are all taken. If a Negro undertakes to buy a patch of ground in Potwin or some- other aristocratic suburb, that moment property enjoys an un- usual boom, prices double. If a Negro enters a one horse restau- rant that moment the price of bread stuffs and provisions goes skyward or the Negro takes his plate in hand and hits out to the rear, or rudely reminded that God wrapped him in a black skin and he is not wanted. If a poor son of Ham, hungry “to earn his living by the sweat of his brow"’ enters a great manufac- turing establishment, mercantile or banking institution, and asks fora man’s chance, he is re- minded that he is black and the other help will flee from him like refugees from the bubonic plague, should he be allowed to remain, The same is true of our girls, exceptin cases of very menial labor they are denied the basic right of an American citi- zen, viz: the right of life and liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness. Now what's the matter with the Negro. Is he unclean that his presence pollutes? Is he ignorant and vicious, that he is a menace to our social and civil life? Then it becomes the im- perative duty of the American people to educate, christianize and elevate this race whom they have prostituted. The American Negro is not bad, His patriotic devotion to this country has never been soild by a treasonable act. His neighborhoods are the equal of any race settlement. He is growing daily in intelligence, wealth and social refinement. All he asks is a man’s chance in life. Will the American white man be manly enough to give it. MISS MATTIE B. CHILDERS. Mr. Frank Fochtman will be- gin the erection of a new stone front brick building on his lot east of the Cushman house, in a time. The new building has been leased to Miss Mattie A. Childers, who will open a fine tea room and cafe. Miss Chiiders jsagood manager, the best of cooks, and a pleasant lady, and we are sure that she will add many to the friends and patrons she made last year while at the tea room on the Midway. The rooms will be fitted up with special reference tothe serving of supper, luncheon and dinner parties, and Miss Childers should have her share of the patronage of our own people, as she expects to keep her tea rooms open the year round. The roams are to be ready in June, and the Rercord wishes Miss Childers a most successful year. [Miss Childers has many friends in Brooklyn where she, a few years ago, pursued a course in instrumental music. Last year she conducted business in part- nership with a white lady friend, but will go it alone in the future. The Age.] Miss Childers spent a few days in Topeka in 1899, and made many friends who wil be pleased to know of her busi- ness venture, and wish her much success.

Why not form a Farmers Association in Shawnee County. Let the educated young men come west, there are great opportunities here. THE COMING FAIR. The politicians of the recent legislature, full of the mistaken zeal, very common to people living away from Topeka, killed the proposed World's Fair bill. A number of public spirited men have under consideration plans for holding a State Fair in Topeka this year, and for that matter so long as it can be made profitable. These men are to be congratulated upon the wisdom displayed in this move, and they should receive ample encouragement to carry out the scheme. The success of this fair means much to the people of Kansas. For the past ten years this State has been struggling, more or less patiently, with the combined evils of drought, populism, and general hard times. All these conditions have, or are passing away. The remarkable crop yield of the past three years has made plutocrats of the poor Kansas farmer who a few years ago, were seeking a panacea for their ills, through the use of populistic nostrums. There is abundance of last year's crop in Kansas, thousands of head of cattle, sheep, horses that figure in the assets of our many prosperous farmers. This fair, organized primarily to promote the financial interests of Topeka, will eventuate into a magnificent blessing for the farmer, as well as all classes of citizens within the State. Our people, as a general thing, are very slow to see the great good accruing to them from such exhibition. The man or woman who succeeds in this world, gets themselves, or their wares, before the public. What they may have, is displayed to best advantage. The same must be true of a race. We must make a stronger effort to get our work, our successes, our wares, before the public. There are hundreds of successful Negroes in Kansas. They may not have accumulated the princely wealth of a Gould, or manifested the wisdom of a Solomon, but they have and are, doing something for the betterment of the race each day. They are found in almost every line of business, There should be a strong effort put fourth by the business men of our race to get their achievements before the public. At this fair will be people from all parts of the country and the world. They will come here to study the achievements of Kansas, as seen through their products. Let the Negro farmers, artisans, and business men secure space for a large display of their work. In every department of life our people in Kansas are pushing forward. By a proper display of the products of race industry and art encouragement will be given to thousands of others to, at least, attempt to accomplish the same. "What one man has done another can do,"a saying the truth of which is proven every day. There should be an exhibit from the agricultural products of the Negro farmers of Kansas. They are raising and selling fat hogs and steers, carloads of corn, oats, and wheat, thousands of pounds of poultry, butter, and eggs. There are many artists among our people whose work is a credit to Kansas and the Negro. Another feature of this State exposition, to which we invite the attention of the business men of our race is the purchasing of shares of stock. The State Fair stock will be offered to the public. No restriction will be made on account of color in the sale of stock. It is purely a business proposition and our business men are urged to subscribe, as liberally as possible. To own stock will place our people in a position to be actually considered in the details of the fair. Buy stock and make an exhibit. Woman's Department.

This will leave in principal $3,300 when they only have $1,000 to pay down, the balance carrying interest at the rate of 6 per cent. which leaves $2,300 to be paid in five years, with no aid in view. This may be a charitable act, but not businesslike. The ladies of Phyllis Wheatly Home should be highly commended for the zeal and sacrifice they have given to the home, and there are no words of praise that The Informer could fit that would adequately fit the work they have done. We should be sorry indied, to see all this labor of love and sacrifice wasted. We wish them all the success in the world and will contribute whatever the paper can to the success of this undertaking. We deem it no note note of discouragement to give them, at this time, a general warning, and admonish them in the worhs of Davy Crockett, "Be sure you are right then go ahead."—Detroit Informer.

Gleanings and Comments Don't forget to lay away something for a rainy day—you know! Look out for Buffaloes when the President passes through. Kansas is crying for industrially inclined men. Will not the young Negroes come out and grow up with the State. Some of the older folks must be more careful in the way they speak before children. It seems from various accounts that there are a few Negroes in Memphis, Tenn., who have a lot of "rabbit" about them even LL. D's. Well! those fellows are the modern doubting Thomases. Protect your race until the crime is proven by the evidence, then show the rabbit if you wish! In Nashville, Tenn., the Negroes got tired of sending to New York and other northern cities for the "boiled-front" product, and will now manufacture their own shirts. Let us have a few out west. Don't get familiar on short acquaintance, — because you are on friendly terms with business men, you should not seek to enter their private office without an invitation. We are sorry to have our Kansas City lady visitors leave our town—but they say they were only visiting. Come again. Mr. Alexander, father of the lynched man, of Leavenworth, is showing himself a true father and a protector of the laws of "Bleeding Kansas." How can young ladies and gentlemen afford to visit dancing-school in places that are not kept clean, and besides a lot of Street Arabs and bums hanging around the doors smoking. If you are refined show it by getting better and cleaner quarters. Some people speak so loudly on the streets, that at times one has to look around to ascertain whether it is really a person or one of those little beasts of burden with two long ears—tone down—"try low D." KANSAS' INVITATION To Citizens of the U. N. to invest Money Within her borders. How sweet sounding is the invitation made by many of our interior towns, asking the citizens of America to invest money in building up the financial status of the state. We take great pleasure in interesting our young men in grasping this opportunity before it is too late; do not let foreigners get best locations for business the country affords before you open your eyes to fact. But, before you venture to invest your money, let every citizen black and white wait awhile and see how Kansas intends to dispose of the men who took a hand in burning Alexander. This is the most important question now before the tribunals of the state, must mob rule or law reign supreme within her territory? If the state fails to indict and convict the perpetrators of this Indian-like crime then we say to the citizens of America that Kansas is a good state to keep away from, and that the state is a party to the mob. On the other hand, if a true bill is brought in (if only on the one who applied the torch), and those indicted are convicted and sent up for their deeds, we recommend the speedy migration of our young citizens to this land of Goshen. Kansas must settle this question; the mob gangs are anxiously waiting to see whether the state and the United States are powerless against them, if the government prove powerless; Kansas will then lose her standing as a civilized state. Should this happen, we would then ask the government at Washington to tear down the reservation lines that divide savages (?) from intelligent people and make the whole state a reservation, in order that the Indians at large may be corralled—instead of the name Kansas, the reservation should be called "Bad Land." The name Kansas rightly means freedom to all men, be they black or white. Some folks think they are the whole thing when they are at church. Lest ye forget, there are others who would like to hear the sermon. Don't talk, let the minister do that—he is paid. MAJOR - TAYLOR America's Crack Cyclist is given Test parties in Paris, France—Refined Parishian Women in Attendance. The Plaindealer is always pleased to learn of the professional men and women as well as others who are making a good record for themselves as well as the race; and will do all in its power to hold them before our readers. While in America the Major has been many times insulted by his fellow citizen—in quite a number of cities he could not get a stopping place at the hotels; in Savannah, Georgia he was driven off a bicycle track and was obliged to leave the town on the first train for New York to save his life. What will our friends (?) think now, a "nigger" who could not ride on a 30 cent track in his own free America nor eat in a 2x4 eating house, is now riding on the Park des Princes, Paris, France that costs something like $100,000, and eating at the beautiful Hotel Scribe—the beauty of it all, he is not passing for white, although black, he is not passing for black; but passes only as an American—some of our friends(?) should follow the example of this great American lad who will do much to uphold the greatness of his country. The Plaudealer will give a full account of his race with Lamberjack the Frenchman which will occur the later part May. Thirty-six years ago this week the greatest American, to the Negroes mind, was assassinated—Abraham Lincoln. FELL FOM GRACE. Rotten seats used in some of our churches It pays after all to have the very best of everything, and we are sure the four sisters who were precipitated to the floor on Sunday morning at one of our first churches have realized that fact. Old benches in a^church for the use of refined people in this day is no excuse and the officers of the church should see to it that better seats are provide for the people. Supposing those who fell with the seat were small childred in attendance at Sunday School—what a dreadful thing it would have been to have them taken home to their parents with broken arms and legs. This in a mild example of what will happen in the future if steps are not taken to remedy this defective seat evil. PARKER LANDS KNOCKOUT BLOW IN FIRST ROUND. Albert Parker draws first blood in the legal ring last Tuesday before his Honor Judge Hazen. Both parties agreed that the decision was right in point of law and justice. In the opinion of the Plaindealer the overruling of the motion to quash the writ, and his reasoning from citations of leading authorities makes the judge's decision as fair as could be expected; and we are safe in saying that his peerage will have no easy time in reversing his order. Judge Hazen decided that a court had the power to reconvene a canvassing board when it had not complied with the law. It now remains to be seen whether the two tally sheets in question, the first precinct of the second ward and the third precinct of the third ward are not ambiguous, unintelligible and obscure. The argument is set for Saturday morning of this week. The world's greatest specialty artists and character entertainers Mr. and Mrs. Tutt, as well as Mr. Lester Helms, one of the greatest tenor singers on the road and business manager of Clayton's Jubilee. Singers called at our office on Monday. They are doing turns in this section of the state. Crosby GREAT FURNI- TURE SALE NOW ON. The---- Kaw Valley brand of MINCE MEAT MANUFACTURED BY Chas.

Why not have one here? How strange is this fact? The Negro can learn to be doctors, lawyers, carpenters, chemists, as well as deal in higher branches of mathematics, and not one has intelligence (? enough to run an electric motor car or be a conductor. What is the matter? Is it because they are afraid of the spark that flashes from the mystic line? Let our street car magnets answer. Southern colored men are holding their own in our large eastern colleges both in oratory and athletics. Roscoe onklin Bruce, of Mississippi, and Leslie Pinkney Hill, of Virginia, both of Harvard, are showing to the world that the Negro, when properly treated and thrown into good surroundings can be made as good and respectable citizens as any other race of people. The Chicago Unions, the crack base ball team of Illinois, began its season last week with a crowded park. During the months of July and August they will play all high class teams in Iowa, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and other southern states. In the Supreme Court decision handed down last week, in the case of G. W. Jones, of Oskaloosa, versus the School Board, we notice that Mr. Jones was beaten by a technicality. While the Court recognizes the justness of his claim in sayings That if the refusal to admit his children was on account of color, there would be just cause for complaint. They decide the case against him on the ground that he had demanded that his children be admitted to the high-school before they had completed all the grades of the common school. This was probably caused by a mistake made in the pleading on purpose or otherwise of the white lawyers at Oskaloosa, who had taken Mr. Jones' good money and allowed him to be beaten by a scheme planned by their own hands. So that the efforts of Mr. Thomas, the attorney he employed, was unsuccessful to amend the pleads of the case so that it could be submitted on the merits, instead, suffering defeat by the chicanery and design of white lawyers who alone desecrated a just cause. Although the Hon. Chas. F. Spencer was overwhelmingly elected city Attorney by the combined support of the colored voters who were very largely for law and order, yet it seems that A. M Thomas, our lawyer of unquestioned ability, is at disadvantage in the handicap for assistant city Attorney, although we were told that color cut no figure. "What fools we mortals be." A. M. we are constrained to say that the matter of complexion cuts some ice. See! Bros. All Kinds of Furniture at Reduced Prices.

GRAY The following very excellent paper was written by Prof G N Grishman of Kansas City, Mo. It is hoped it will be given the thoughtful reading it deserves. I have the pleasure to announce to the readers of this column, a paper on "What the farm has to offer to Negro Youth," by Mr. Sherman A. Harvey, a graduate of the State University, and a very successful farmer.—W. E. Gray. The American people are committed to the policy of universal education. Last year they expended in this way nearly two hundred million dollars. For years the annual expenditure has steadily increased and it can only be arrested by a decided falling off in the income of the States. Now that this country has possessions in the Pacific ocean the national policy follows the flag. Considering the kinship of the Negro to the Islanders, he has more than usual interest in the doings of the Philippine Commission. The subjoined excerpt from a letter written by a Negro officer doing service in Luzon, offers food for reflection: "The Philippine Commission has recently passed an educational bill which provides for the appointment of 1,000 American teachers, and nine division superintendents to serve in the Islands. It is of extreme importance to us that we should get colored teachers placed in the Philippine Islands at this supreme moment, that we may hold our present prestige with the Filipino. These teachers are the first of an army of educators that will be sent to Anglicize the Islands. If they are all white the Filipino will be disappointed, and will lend an easy ear to the entreaties of the whites to look upon the American Negro as the white man does. More energy has been spent in the Philippines the past two years in propagating American race prejudice among the natives than has been spent in subduing them. Up to the present time the Filipino has turned a deaf ear to these diabolical efforts, and have continued to show that he recognized and respected the affinity between himself and his American colored brother. But the whites have preached so much Negro negativeness so him that he anxiously awaits a practical example of our usefulness in the civil walks of life. He does not want to believe what the white man tells him, but will unless we show a disposition to crowd into the avenues in which he sees the white man set his feet. By having colored teachers, who would be more acceptable to the Filipino than the whites, the young mind would never be trained with that deadly virus, race prejudice. If the white man alone can wedge himself into, and establish himself as the only social element of America, and the colored man stands humbly by while he does it, the Filipino will join the cause of the whites. We must keep him from doing that. He must be kept neutral or brought over to our side of the house. School teachers of strong personality and undoubted ability and education alone can do this for us. By them we can gain more in the Island now than we could gain in a hundred years thereafter, if we should lose or fail to work for these appointments. This is not a personal matter. The future must be looked at from both sides." Now the question arises: Have we any first class men and women to spare? If we have not can we endanger the main cause here in America by turning attention to any cause, however good, thousands of miles away? Beside if we join the Filipino will he gain thereby? Is not the prestige of the Filipino higher than our own? Is he not likely to hold his own a trifle easier without us than with us? Has not the fearing of our troops the past two years accomplished about as much as can be wisely attempted? If we create a rush for the Philippines, could we get the right men to go? Is it not probable that in most cases the wrong man would apply for and secure appointment? If anything can be done to create and maintain a good name for ourselves in any part of the globe, let it be done; but the American Negro must bear in mind that the world is watching his doings here; that his success or failure, will settle the fate of millions of his kind in other parts of the globe; that he must study himself, know his faults, develop strength and satisfactorily adjust himself to the severe demands of the great age, and the great country in which he lives.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO CALLED hair growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, though a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt r OZOXO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until '875 when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to encourage the hair to grow long and straight, stiff and fine, and as beneficial as an upil morning. Now whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair growers and hair straighteners, men which are worthless, causing the hair to fall on and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are having these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fat, an into the hair more harm than good. These let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flirting advertisements and tag words. Buy the King of all hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tones. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curle, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Seurl can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozoo is 50c, a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozoo and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and plant, and curses all skin diseases. Also remove all facial imperfections, and actually removes small pox pits. We will also include one fancy jar of our Electrical Skin Food—Nature's great beautifier—removes wrinkles, moth patches, feeble and all facial blemishes; makes the old look young and the young look younger.
