"The polls will be open from 8 a. m, to? p m.anditis the unbounded duty of everyone who wants to see lawlessness and crime suppressed to go to the polls and vote for a can- didate for mayor who can cope with thie floating element of murderera, cutthroats and safe-blowera who are infesting this city and are mak- ing thie their stamping-ground. No one can doubt the facts in the matter, as there have been several murders committed within the last three months and especially in the psst few weeks. Women areafraid to walk out inthe evenings or in the middle of the day on the back streets without fear of their purses being snatched or some other dep- redation committed. Those of the wot part of the city who are able to afford the expense, are now hav- ing* their residences guarded at night by a private policeman. Ev- erybody eecms to be living in fear of some depredation being commit- ted. Wedo not doubt thesincerity af the present administration in doing what they can to cope with these outrages, but they do not seem to have competentand efficient inen at the head of the department to succeed in executing their wishes and driving out these outlaws. A gentleman who supported the pres- ent admisistration two years ago, for reason of the same conditions now existing, says that he is in favor of trying some other man to top this lawlessness. ‘his colored man ixa highly respected citizen and lives in the east part of town. Me ig astaunch friend and supporter of thie administration, but says if he cannot get relief by a new ad- ministration from this claes of pco- ple who resort to all methods known to decency in disturbing the good name, peace and happiness of the people of his community, that he will have to move out and sell his property. He has appealed to the heads of authority for protection, but no relief has come. ‘This is the state of affairs existing xcroes the Shunganunga, and we ‘know it is true, because this gentle- man is one of the best citizens living in that part of the city. He saya it is becoming so that respected people cannot sleep in peace in their homes; that all the toughs and roughs have taken possession of the town and the police are utterly helpless. As itis in this part of the city, so it is in other parts. The people are complaining everywhere. Women are becoming disgusted. They are tired of this wild demonstration of promises to suppress crime, but not accomplished for want of compe: tency in generalship. Mr. W. II, Davis, who was drafted into this campaign for mayor of thie city, subject to the Republican primaries Wednesday, March 8th, was brought out by the heavy tax. payers—taboring men, merchants, Vankers and professional men—ir fact, all that clase of citizens who want to keep the good name of To: peka up to where it has been until within the last cightcen monthe. Mr. Davis is at the head of the Parkhurst-Davis Mercantile Co., one of the largest firms inthe West controlling several whosesale houses in different states and territories, employing hundreds of men. He does not need the office nor does he wantit. hnte at tha enlintee’.. .: the people he decided to become a candidate. There are many things that need reckoning in the different departments of the city, and the business men and laborera want these things adjusted. This campaign is being couducted with no malice toward anyone, but is a clean-cut proposition as to the best method and who can suppress this lawless element. As Mr. Ber- gundthal has been tried and found wanting in this respect, the people have decided to try Mr. Davis and see what success he can make of it. ‘There eeems to bea concerted action on the part of the men and women of the city to give Mr. Davis their almost hearty support. So con- vinced are the people that he will make a good man for this position that they scarcely talk of the ap- proaching city election. They have made up their minds to have Mr. Davis aud we are satisfied that the business men and laborers will see to it that he gets their support. It is common now to hear men that were strong supporters of Mr. Ber- gundthal two years ago say that they will not goto the polls if he secures the nomination. Several of the women are dis- gusted at the action of the preseut legislature in not conferring upon them the rights of suffrage to vote for presidential electors, which bill was passed in the House, but failed in the Senate. We think that this was an outrage to honest womeu who are tax-payera and are striving to build up a good government. The sooner these women learn who are their friendaand who are the hyprerites the sooner they will be crowned with success. Had the present city administration, for whom the women voted to place in office and given their support, used their efforts in behalf of this bill it would have passed the Senate and do doubt become a law. But this administration, as is the custom after once in power, forgot their friends. We can hear women on all sides saying that they will with- draw their support from such men who have pledged to them their sinecrity in the belief of women’s rights. We hear also that the peo- ple of the North Side in Mr. Ber- gundthal’s ward are much dissatis- fied with the administration since the flood, and are expressing them selves openly that they cannot and will not sepport him for a second administration. W. II, Davis who announces him- self axa candidate for mayor sub- ject to Republican primaries March 8th, isone of Topeka’s oldest and most substantial business men and has resided here for overa quarter of a century and is a member of the Parkhurst Davis Merchantile Co. on Kansas Avenue near the Rock Island Depot and he promises, if elected to give the people a good business and wholesome adminis: tration. What is worrying the people now is to get from under the burdensome tax they are groaning under now. {| IN CITY POLITICS, t "| F. P.

For some years he read law in the oftice of N. H. Loomis, geneval attorney for the Union Pacific railroad, and is at present reading law in the office of Redden & MicKeever. If elected, Mr. Bolinger promises to fill the position with honor and dignity. HON. M. F, LAYCOCK, who is now filling the unexpired term vi Ed. Good as Clerk of the Court of Topeka, is a candidate for this po- sition. He is eminently qualified in every way for the position, and should the people nominate and elect him, they will have no regrets. He is a graduate of the law and fine arta department of the University of Kansas, and is an expert sten- ographer. He isaKansan by birth, having been born in the western part of the state in 1877. He is a man of family and stands well with the people. Ie is a self-made man. HON. M. M. ILALK, the old re- liable city treasurer, is before the people for the same honor. There will be no opposition to him, as he has been endorsed by the laboring men, the merchants, bankers and lawyers, the banks of Topeka hay- ing given written endorsement of their approval of his efficiency as city treasurer. Mr, Hale is one of the old settlers of Topeka and has done much to promote the progress of the city. He is an old soldier, serving through the Civil war. CAPT. J. ‘I.

He is 2 staunch Republican and has always labored for the party’s success, but F is his first time to ask for any honors at the hands of the party, and if thie honor is conferred upon him the people of the Seond Ward will have no cause for regret. ¢MR. W. H. WILSON, the popu- lar druggist on East Fourth street, isacandidate for member of the Board of Education. His fourteen years’ experience along this line eminently qualifies him for this position. This isa vase where the office seeks the man. He even re- fused to put up the money to have his name put on the ticket; but his friends “drafted” him, and put up the required assessment. Such men as Mr. Wilson are 2 credit to any oftice they might he elected to. MR. C.W. HORN, who is a can- didate for Councilman from the Fourth Ward, is one of Topeka’s most substantial business men. He is owner of the Horn Planing Mill, on Van Buren street.

He is closely identified with the progress of the city and will work to that end in the deliberations of the City Council of the city of Topeka. HON. CHARLES SPENCER, who is a candidate for renomination as City Attorney, has done much to save money for the city, especially in the water works case; and just at this juncture it would be imprudent to retire Mr. Spencer, as he is fa- miliar with all the intricacies of this case, and it is more important to keep him in his present position than to make room for some other. Mr. Spencer is a staunch Republi- can. He has the interests of the city more at heart than his salary. The Third Ward sought for some time for a good candidate for Coun- cilman and the one man of all was found in the person of Hon. F. E. Nipps, the popular agent of the Missouri Pacific Ry. He is a thor- ough business man, a gentleman, a scholar and a diplomat, and is ap- proachable at all times. He is identified with the idea of a “Greater Topeka’ and the general demand for improvements. If he is nominated and elected the people of Topeka will have no regrets. HON. S. A.

SLATER, who is a candidate for Judge of the Court of Topeka to succeed A. J. McCabe, was a close second in the race of six two years ago for this honor. Ie is an able lawyer, hav- ing practiced before the courts for years. He is life-long Republican and has supported candidates of his party for office continuously for years, and now he thinks that help should come from the other way. HON. A. J, MCCABE, Judge of the Court of Topeka, is a candidate for re-election. He is one of the best known attorneys in the city, and has filled the position he now holds ina manner that has placed him close to the people, and en- deared him to the hearts of a large circle of friends, both in and out of the party. He has always been a staunch Republican, and has always Iabored for the success of the party, in and out of season. A renomination is but a fitting recog- nition of his service and ability. HON. W.

PADS FR BAG PRE We are pained to learn from the Greenville (S. C.) Daily News, that the colored fire department of that city is about to be abelished. We hope the wisbes of Mr. A. B. Williams and J. W. Duncan will be complied with, and that is keep one colored company in service. Mr. Williams, ex-chief of the fire department, is the editor of the News and an old substantial friend. of the writer, He is a native of Virginia, highly educated and has always espoused the cause of the Negro and at all times begged the white people in the South to give him a fair chance. We, too, know how hard and furioua the colored volunteer fire department of Greenville have fought fires, and saved thousands of dollars worth of property and many lives. Where are the loyal, digni- fied, aristocratic white people of Greenville, such as, Townsend, Gates, Kennedy, Poe, Wilkerson, Beaties, Ferguson, Mark and En- dall, the Gouers, Postmaster Rich, ardson, Briggs, Blythe, Earl, Capers and scores of others who always did what they could for the uplift of the colored race in Greenville? Are they all dead, or are they aleeping, that they allow locusts to come into that fair mountain city and destroy the old custum of treating the Negro aight? For years and yeara the colored people have fought these battks without one penny, and now to cast them aside for white men to reap the fruits of these men’s labor is wrong. Let the mayor and city council of Greenville show their loyalty and stand by those who have served the city faithfully. Nicx Caines. Mr. Williams writes as follows: Editor Greenville News: I wish to join fermer Chiet of the Greenville Fire Department Bob Haynes in his protest against the abolition of the colored fire com- pany in Greenville. It looks to me like a case of rank ingratitude. The city, as everybody who has ever lived there is glad to note, is becoming rich and strong. Cer- taimly, she has no right to turn her back on those who risked their lives and health and gave their labor unselfishly and nobly in her service when she was poor and small and could not afforda paid department. The Negroes of the past earned the right to have their race represented now. Iwill never forget the night the Neptune Fire Company dragged its heavy hand engine from its old quarters near the Columbia and Greenville track in West End to the present site of Duncan, then occu- pied by Capt. W. C. Humphries. It was two miles and a half each way, making a total distance of five miles, and these Negroes had to ford the river with their engine ‘twice because the bridge was not in condition; and yet, on the second alarm, when the house was de- stroyed, they came in to the fire on Ja trot, cheering breathlessly with their drags taut. The aight the Cleveland block on Main street was burned was one of the bitterest Greenville has ever known. The water froze asit fell, The ladders were covesed with ice, and whena [coxrmurp ox PaGE xIGRT] | Ss ert, | ha en oA eee LIVE STOCK The Record-Stockman of Denver is authority for the statement that about 5,000 sheep are being fattened at Greeley, Colo., by the Greeley Sugar company. They are divided up in pens of 700 to 800 sheep each, each pen being in charge of a feeder whose business it is to watch them closely. Oct. 11, at the time they were put on feed, they averaged seventy-four pounds each, and during the first three weeks made a gain of two and a half pounds per head per week. The ration is ten pounds of pulp to one-half pound of alfalfa hay per day per head. To this ration it is expected to add a small ration of sugar beet molasses. Experiments last year indicated that the molasses tended to make a firmer flesh, and that sheep fed it as part of the ration shrunk less in shipping. The sugar company expects to feed during the season approximately 15,000 head of sheep and 500 to 600 head of cattle. The results last year were a profit of 90 cents per head for the pulp feed sheep. Experiments were conducted last year in feeding pulp and alfalfa and corn, with the result that the pulp and alfalfa fed sheep gained from 15 to 25 per cent more than those which received the corn in addition.—Wallace's Farmer. Care of the Bull In the care of the bull gentleness is the first consideration. He learns that no one is going to abuse him and he does not look for trouble. Firstly, a bull should be raised right, then there is no trouble. It takes many months to tame a badly raised bull and our adylic is to let such a bull alone. Have a small stable or pen by the barn or other convenient place where the bull may be kept. An exercising lot is essential to his health. Brush him off daily and feed him a little grain. Feed only clean hay, and salt should always be before him. Water him regularly. Good service from him is only had by giving him good care. When a bull is kept up and a record is made of cach cow bred, all the calves may be saved that bad weather would kill if they came at such times. Have a sort of system about things in the care of cows. Clover Hay for Hogs So far this season there has been abundant pasture for hogs over most of our territory and will continue to be until the ground freezes up this fall. Where farmers have a supply of good clover hay, either of the first or second cutting, they should make very free use of it, particularly with brood sows and shoats. It will give them a cheap supply of protein, which this class of hogs particularly needs. A good supply of it in the fattening pen will not be amiss. It will furnish variety, especially where the hogs are fed wholly on corn, and will at the same time tend to balance the ration. We are so accustomed to regarding hay as fit only for cattle and horses that we forget that the hog will eat a certain quantity of it with great relish and to great advantage. If you do not believe that hogs will eat good clover hay, just give them a chance. Catching Sheep by the Wool. We are almost out of patience when we see men who have kept sheep for years catch them by seizing hold of their wool. It is cruel, shamefully cruel, and a man with any heart in him would never do it a second time if he could see the red, blood-settled looking flesh always found under such a spot if the poor sheep is killed shortly after the abuse. It is almost as easy to catch sheep by the neck or leg, and if it were not it would be no excuse, tearing, as it frequently does, the skin from the flesh just beneath it. The sheep is so delicately made and the skin is made so tender by the close protecting fleece that it is a much more serious thing to pull the wool of a sheep than the hair on one's head. An Automatic Lice Killer An ingenious method of applying kerosene or other liquid lice destroyer to hogs has been discovered by an Indiana hog raiser. A good solid oak post a foot or a foot and a half in height is placed in position in the hog lot. One hole is bored in the top to the depth of about eight inches and two at right angles from the sides at the bottom of the vertical hole. Soft pine pins are driven into the side holes. The upright hole is filled with kerosene, and stoppered. Next a burlap strip eight or ten inches wide is wrapped around the post over the side plugs. This, after a time becomes soaked with kerosene and the plgs will rub against it at the place where it will do the most good. Sheep a Farm Necessity. To stock a farm with sheep does not require a large amount of money, and the risk is small, as with proper care very few, if any, will die. Sheep on the farm will make the land more productive and profitable, with less labor and expenditure, than other domestic animal. During the grazing season their droppings are more evenly distributed over the fields than those of any other animals, and by keeping their yards and sheds thoroughly well littered, a large quantity of the best fertilizing material can be obtained. Again, sheep are excellent weed exterminators and they eat with relish many varieties of woods other animals will not touch. Every farmer should own a flock of sheep. OLATHE, KAN. Rev.

"KATY," St. Louis Hoch Enslaves Kansas Blacks! The enactment of separate laws for black and white people in this country is no more nor less than partial slavery. No people can be free whose ambition is curbed by class legislation. What hope or reward can the Negro expect by such enactments? The man who will sit idly by and submit to these injustices is no more nor less than a slave. The time has come when the whites should look this matter squarely in the face. They would not submit to such enactments if they thought it would retard the progress of their race. No sane man could doubt that for a moment. Any two-year-old baby can discover the prejudices and outrages that are being perpetrated upon the forefathers while nursing their mother's breast. We do not want our children to grow up and be taught, that they are inferior to the white man, but we do want to educate them to know that if they live and act right and try to push to the utmost heights of fame and honor, they will be accorded all the rights and immunities that are given the white man; that education, wealth, refinement and good judgment will not buy a man because he is poor or black; that he will not be debarred from receiving the best instruction from the best equipped school houses, colleges and universities in the United States, and also to teach and instruct as well, if he can meet the requirements. Whenever we hear men say that the government can equip, operate and maintain separate schools with the same facilities where one would do, the taxpayers are bound to complain. We know for a certain fact which cannot be successfully contradicted, that in Topeka where they mix from the sixth grade up, the school buildings are not as well equipped or kept as neat as those of the whites in the same grade. Invariably, the white people will buy lots to erect buildings for the colored children in the most deserted parts of the city and in portions where it is very undesirable, either close to some railroad or in some hollow. You cannot find a school building in the city where whites attend up to the Sixth grade close to the railroad, yet we have all four of our colored schools located either near the railroad or street car line where children are liable to be injured. The Kansas City school proposition is just this; It will take just the same amount of money to pay the teachers for a hundred pupils in a colored high school as it will to pay for eight hundred in the white high schools. To this burdensome taxation the tax-payers would at some future day offer resistance. We will never consent to class legislation or black laws to injure the feelings of our children, whom we are teaching to attain to the greatest pride and ambition of American rights. White men do not attempt to obstruct or retard the progress of the Indian who roams the forest, half-clad, dirty, ignorant and vicious, as he does that of the Negro. A white man will marry an Indian squaw, get her land, and the American white woman will marry an Indian buck to get his land; they will admit them into their homes and hotels without a murmur, and yet, after two centuries of intermingling with the Negroes, and after they have seduced our women and brought all kinds of colors and mixtures into this country, some that you cannot tell from white yet, they are attempting to enact laws against their own children. This is just as bad as a slave owner who sold his own flesh and blood. Let the fair-minded thinking white men of this country look this matter fairly and squarely in the face. Give each man an equal chance to surmount to the highest rounds in the ladder of fame. Let him have all that is due him. Accord all the same rights and an equal chance for life, honor and fame. Do not try to impede his progress by these infamous and damnable laws. NICK CHILES. OUR FRIENDS IN THE LEGISLATURE Leland, Waggoner and Bird Have Stood Men for the Colored People. Much credit is due the Hon. Cyrus Leland and Hon. W. A. S. Bird, members of the Legislature who caused to stricken from the House calendar, the bill introduced for the separating of white and colored children in cities of the third class. Uncle Cy is an old time war-horse and leader of the Republicans of the State and has not lost any of the magnetism he has always had. He always has an ever watchful eye for the interest of his party to see that no objectionable legislation is made that will make inroads on the Republican party. Shawnee County, and especially the colored people' should be proud of Mr. Bird, for the legislation. Senator B. P. Waggoner of Atchison, who always looks after the interest of the down-trodden colored man, succeeded in striking from the calendar, last Tuesday, a bill, No. 235, introduced to enjoin all boards of education to separate white and colored children in the public schools. This is commend- able and the colored people of Atchison county should always hold Mr. Waggoner in high esteem for this act. It is fair and just to recognize and support those who are your friends and stand by you when in trouble. Mr. Waggoner is one of the best representatives Kansas has ever had and has succeeded in passing several important bills this session and it can be truthfully said that his bills stand the test in the courts. Mr. Nipps' Candidacy. To the Editor of the Plaindealer. I have refrained thus far from making any public statement concerning my candidacy for the Republican nomination for councilman from the Third ward. I will, if elected, be guided in my action by what may seem to me for the best interest of the whole city and will make it a special duty to work in the interest of the citizens of the Third ward. I will vote and work for economy in the management of city affairs. Am in favor of the city taking possession and assuming the management of the waterworks and placing the employes thereof under civil service. I promise if nominated and elected to be always found on the side of law enforcement. I am not a candidate in the interest of any man, set of men, nor any faction of the Republican party. My candidacy has no connection with that of Mayor Bergundthal or Mr. Davis. I have made no promises and have no understanding with any official or employee of any corporation having legislation pending in the council, nor with anyone acting for such corporation. If elected I will take my seat in the council untrammeled by a single pledge that would interfere with me in doing whatever might be for the interest of Topeka or from doing whatever may be in my power to preserve law, order and good government. F. E. Nirps. Likes Our Stand. EITOR CHILES—After reading your paper today I could not help admiring your manly stand, for which, however, you have always been noted. When asked by some anxious Missouri friends what I thought Gov. Hoch would do, and, by the way, the Negroes of this state were looking to Kansas expecting that she would maintain her long, consistent attitude of friendship toward the brother in black. I remarked that Pontius Pilate was no new character to the world. Every age, every people and every critical moment has its Pilot. History is never kind to the hesitating, the vacillating nor the coward. Not for the effect it will have upon the future of the Negro, either in Kansas or elsewhere but the effect it will have upon Kansas; the effect it will have even upon the governor of your state. "It is a step backward" quoth he. "I have looked into the history of these people. I admire the progress they have made. My father was an abolitionist." Why should the state of Kansas take a step backward just on account of the Negro? Shades of John Brown and Abe Lincoln has come to the point that for the sake of satisfying a prejudice that even the great state of Kansas deliberately and willfully takes a step backward. But let me again evidence my faith in my people for God knows I have the utmost confidence in their ability to rise. Can't you see them struggling onward, upward, making some headway each day? In the onward march of races time will demonstrate that we are taking no step backward. Keep up the work. W.G. Mosley. Sta. B, Kansas City, Mo.

VERNON AND THE SCIIOOL OUESTION! _ The colored people of Kansas should take warning from the signing of the Jim Crow school law by the Governor, and here- after turn their guns on the enemy instead of fighting eacn other. There has been a lot of unyus! criticism against Prof. Vernor and his school because the stat has provided for it during th past six years. This institutior has been opened for the indus trial teaining of any one wishin; to send ther children, and it i not in opposition to the primar, gtades, colleges or high school in the state. The Republica party accepted a propositio! from the A. M. E. church, wh« gave them fifteen acres of lanc | for the industrial training o! children provided that they ap- proprmted money for the build- img, equipment and running expenses of the school. This they have done and the school under the management of Prof. Vernon has progressed rapidly and there is no need of Negroes criticising him for the bad con- duct and mismanagement of the white Republicans of this state in passing Jim Crow laws. Prof. Vernon has openly and boldly protested against the enactment of any such law. It is nonsense for men who call themselves intelligent, to mis- lead the ignorant and super. stitious members of the race, who are given to hear-say anc grape Lvine stories. Take ; higher stand in life, and figh' the common enemy with one sold front. This school has existed fo’ years, and there has never beer an attempt to pass Jim Crov laws until now. It seems to b the sole desire of some self styled leaders to tey and und what men who are actual leader and promoters of our race ar trying to accomplish. Let u stop fighting each other and ge dowu to business. In our article complaining o! Governor Hoch signing the sep- arate school bill for Kansas City, we said that Speaker Stubbs dis- covered the general billon Thurs- day evening before the passage of the bill, in a lot of bills that had been omnibused through the house and it was reconsidered. It was found by the Hon. Ohl- hausen, member of the Leaven- worth district. He is a young man who believes in fair play, one flag and one law for the gov- ernment ofall peoplealike. We trust that the colored people of Leavenworth will never forget him for the manly .stand he has taken in this matter and he ex- presses himself as being opposed to burdening the taxpayers to build separate schoolhonses to appease the whims and wishes of a few prejudiced people. These black laws are for nothing more nor less than to rob the colored people of their rights. Tuurspay of last week an old| man wended his way into our sanctum and stated that he de- sired us to publish an article in reference to the Price raid claims. Thinking it was for a just cause, | we did not consult him further, but told him to leave the ‘‘copy’” with the printers as our time was |too limited to discuss or read it. \|Instead of facts and history of "|the Price raid claims, it wasa >\conglomerated mass of abuse 1)about Maj.

Thetimeis past when the only’ careers 1n life open to a Negro were to pick cotton, make up berths in a Pullman carorwaitonatable. The etudy of the Negro population of the United States recently published by the Census Bureeu discloses some facts that show very clearly that the eolored race is steadily developing a complete social and industrial system of its own. There is hardly any branch of industry in whieh Negroes are unrepresented, and that state- ment includes the women as well as the mea. A large city could be formed with. out a single white man in it, and yet lack for no teade or profession. There are 21,268 Negro teachers and college professors in the United States, and 15,530 clergymen, The Negroes could finance a railroad through their 82 bankers and brokers, lay it out with their 120 civil engin- eers and surveyors, condemn the right-of-way with their 728 lawyers, make the rails with their 12,327 iron and steel workers, build the road with their 545,980 laborers, construct its telegraph system with their 185 elec- tricians and their 529 linemen, and operate it with ther 55,327 railway employes, Colored people complain that they have to sit in the gallery in white theatres, but their 2043 actors and showmen might give them theatres of their own in which they could occupy the boxesin solitary grandeur. They have fifty-two architects, de signers and draftemen, 236 artiste and teachers of art, 1734 physicians and surgeons, 212 dentists, 210 jour naltsts, 5921 musicians and teachers of music, and 99 literary and scien- tific persons. The colored baby can be introduced to the world by Negro physicians and nurses, instructed in every accomplishment by Negro teachers, supplied with every requis- ite of life by Negro merchants, housed by Negro builders, and buried by a Negro undertaker. | There are Negro bookkeepers and arcountants, clerks and copyists, commercial travelers, merchants, salesmen, stenograghers and tele- Graph operators. Negroesare in ev- ery manual trade—carpenters, ma- a sate Oo ace CN TEE iii cutters, glase-workers, fishermen; bakers, butchers, confectioners, = lers, shoemakers, tanners, watch-| makers, gold and silver smiths, book- binders, engravers printers, tailors, engineers, photographers, glove- makers—that staticians think it worth while to count. And the cu- rious thing is that in whatever line a Negro man is at work thore is also a Negro woman. The only occupa- thons which the colored women Lave allowed their men folk to monopolize are those of the architect, the banker and broker, the telegraph and tele- phone lineman, the boilermaker, the trunkmaker and the pattern maker. You can hires Negro civil engineerees oranclectricienne. There are 164 colored clergywomen, 262 black act- reeges, and ten Afro-American female lawyers. One Negro woman works aga roofer, another as a plumber, and forty-five of them are black smiths, iron and steel workers and machinists. Three are wholesale and 860 retail merchan's. Otners are journalists, literary persons, art- iste, musicians, government officials, and practitioners of an infinite vari ety of skilled and unskilled trades. in many cespects the colored pop- ulations bear a marked resemblance to a European peasantry. Take, for instance, the extensive employment of women in agrioulture. Nearly Go0,c00 Negro women and girls— almost as many as the numbers in all other occupations combined—are en- gaged in farming. Over half a mil- lion of them are employed as farm laborers, outnumbering the white women three to one. Negroes operate about one-eighth of all the farma in the United States, which is rather more than their pro- portion of the population. But, of course, their share of the acreage and value of the landis muchsmaller —only 46 percent of the tormer and 2.7 per cent of the latter. In South Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana more than half of all the farms are worked by Negroes. Moreover, half of all the cotton plantations in the United States are under black control, although, of course, they average legs in size than those run by white met. The black farms of all kinds produce greater values to the acre thaa the white. There is a great stretch of land, ex- tending from the Atlantic to the Gulf Coast of Texas, in which more than half of all the farms are operat ed by Negroes. In three countie: more than nineteen-twentieths of the farms are in colored hands; in thir teen counties more than nine-tenth, in fifty-four counties more than three- four'hs, and 205 counties in eleven atates more than half. Negro barbers, porters, servant: and waiters loom Jargein the popu lar imagination, but they really fo-n. an insignificant part of the colored race, The barbers are a Kttle over half of one per cent of the income- earning Negro men, Servants and waiters are four and one half per cent. Over fifty-eight per cent of those men are engaged in agriculture. It is noteworthy that the propor. tion of self-supporting Negroes is much larger than that of self-support. ing whites, Of all over ten year old, 84.1 percent, of the colored males and 40 7 per cent. of the colored fe males are engaged in gainful occu pations, against 79.5 per cent. of the white males and 16 per cent. of the white females similarly occupied These are figures to which the Negrc can “point with pride” when he is accused of preferring the midnight chicken and the surreptitious water melon to the joys of labor. ATCHISON. A great number of colored men who are interested in their race have orgauized a Republican club and will throw the responsibility on the Boss White Republicans as to the club’s usefulness. There are 778 colored voters in the city. The normal Republican majority is 600. It 19 plain that if many of the color. ed voters, forced into indifference by being ignored, should stay at home the want of their votes will be felt. Offices and jobs areas good to the colored man as they areto the white. You deny him any of the spoils then hire cheap, traitorous whiskey bloats to lie on acolored man even if your spies should see him talking toa Demo- erat. Weare as free as youare. Treat us right. “Come up with the righy goods” else ome of us are going to be as cold as ice. _ The St. Joseph Orchestra is pm ning for a big concert here xoon. ‘The colored people in maser meet-| ing here condemned Dr. Allaman, the caneer doctor for the stab he would give them in the back. Itis a good thing some of them hav found him out to be areal enemy to the race. Allaman was not Ko anxious to keep many members of the races from marrying aa be war to puta stigma on the colored rac which would invite further oppres sion. Mrs. Win.

Messrs Nelson, Alexander and Martin, club officers, deserve especial credit for the comfortable manner in which they arranged for the occasion. The present police force is kept so busy smelling whiskey jugs and beer kegs that innocent citizens are almost nightly being held up or murdered under the glare of electric lights on the principal streets of the city. How much longer will we have to contend with awakening every morning only to find the very very doors of the business places covered with human gore? We happened to be on Fifth street last Tuesday evening as seven policemen—the whole night force—were marching from the station to their posts of duty, and a bystander remarked: "That is a great force to patrol a city of 40,000!" What we need is a larger force without orders as to the kind of crime to seek. --- Freedmen's Land & Trust Co., INCORPORATED. —AUTHORIZED CAPITAL $25,000. PAID UP $18,000. SHARES $25.

Bettis, of Wichita, arrived in the city Monday night for a few days. He has recently returned from Mexico where he has been for the past two years. He is here attending the legislature on business pertaining to some of his friends in Wichita. Mr. Bettis spoke his sentiment concerning this legislation and what he thought of Gov Hoch in signing the separate school bill for Kansas City, Kas. He says the governor has demonstrated that he is a weak man and he believed he would be a one-termer. He says the people of Wichita are very much dissatisfied with the way he has treated them. He spoke highly of Husey and Adams of the House. He says the people of Wichita are well pleased with their action in the legislature and they do not know of any two men that ever represented them any better since Sedgwick county has existed, and they can represent them as long as they see fit. They will be glad to do them honors and support them for any position they may ask. "Cub" E. Langston, printer, football player and soldier, who is now doing the latter stunt with Troop G, Tenth Cavalry at Sheridan, Wyo., writes that he will soon be stationed in Nebraska and that he may blow in any time to see his old friends.

Mr. Editor: After a lapse of more than twelve months I feel moved to speak a few words through the columns of your very worthy paper to my many friends and acquaintances, especially to the stockholders of the T. & I. T. L. C. and D. Co. With longing anxiety I have watched the onward march of events in this country and the great advantages that are offered struggling people like us has deepened my belief in the future for the colored people here. There is room for every industrious Negro from the humblest to the highest position. The land is for you. Will you have it? The freedmen and Indian welcome you. It is a land of plenty. There are new discoveries which bring the whites from the four quarters of this country and some of them are no more able than you, but they come. You say, "wait." If you tarry much longer it will be too late. Statehood is not your friend. Cooperation is our stronghold. Had the stockholders continued their assessments on the stock, the company would not only have been paying a dividend, but could be in possession of some of this valuable land. I have encouraged Mr. Hardrige to hold a little while longer, or in the language of Prof. Vernon, to stay judgment. Notwithstanding the large offers from rich capitalists, Mr. Hardrige is still waiting for us to move. Is it possible that there are not Negroes who have energy and backbone enough to come to our res- cue? A small amount each would be sufficient. Our papers are held at Washington simply for a financial showing of $5,000, which is no money for us if we would cooperate. We have invested $1,000 already in the mine and could be in the market within thirty days with our product, and this would be the greatest enterprise known to the Negro. Banks, stores and merchandise would not be the only following, but employment for several hundred of our people. The lease is more valuable today than when made. Two new railroads which give us short hauls to market and nearer the best market'in the territory. The writer would suggest a call for a general stockholders' meeting at some central point to devise plans and means to start the work. Or reorganize. You understand, the $5,000 is not needed to start the work, but simply to comply with the ruling of the Secretary of the Interior. After the lease has been approved the money may be taken down. Let us hear from the stockholders. I have a proposition to sell out and I expect to stay with my investment. J. H. HoARD, Supt. PLEADS FOR man let go a nozzle the skin of his hand went with it. The Negroes stuck that through, were eager for work, were among the foremost to go in and remained until the last These are two prominent illustrations coming to my mind of the devotion and courage of the Negro volunteer firemen. No better firemen than these men ever did service. I have worked along-side of them many nights and days to be mistaken, and while I was chief and assistant chief of the department I never had to call or them twice to go into any dangerous place. No ice or snow or freezing cold or baking heat could hold back the Palmetto and Neptune companies. Negroes as they are, I, for one, am proud to have been associated with them, for they acted the part of mer. It used to be a Wm. Waters. 504 KANSAS AVE, Clothes cleaned & pressed. OLD PHONE 357.

I hope all the old Greenville people who remember the past will give their efforts to having the patriotism, public spirit and courage of the Negro firemen recognized by retaining at least one Negro company in the paid department as long as Greenville is a city. Certainly, all men who used to run alongside them through snow and mud in winter, and dust in summer, to protect the lives and property of Greenville people must feel that Greenville owes them something. A. B. WILLIAMS, Richmond, Va., Feb. 17, 1905. JOHN DUNCAN PLEADS I have noticed the different letters on behalf of the colored firemen whom our fire commissioners have advised the council to discontinue after March 1 next. I am sorry that such has been advised, but before your final decision, or all hope of retaining them is closed, let me, in my humble way, call your attention as a reminder of our loyalty to the city of Greenville. When she was not able to have a paid department we risked our lives and imperiled our health and sacrificed our only support to our families and responded to every call of the city bell for fire in all kinds of weather and did our duty to save the property and life, and we ONE R PLUS S COLORE AND RE DENVER, COLORADO S Tickets on sale January return limit January 3 your ticket reads via -UNION P The Popular Rout Shortest Line.

Many of my fellow-firemen are dead today on account of the exposure in the fire service, and when there comes a time when you can help the survivors, please do not forget us. We feel this very keenly from our council, when little did we think it. When we call to mind how the council used to laud us to the skies for our good work in the department as volunteers, how you would set us up to lemonade and cigars and make much of us and boast to the outside world what a grand fire departmeot you have in the city of Greenville. Please remember these loyal deeds of the colored firemen and compensate just four men out of several hundred volunteers disbanded by you a year or two ago, by giving these four a place where they can earn their daily bread, when you have the power to do so, and God will bless our city and its citizens. I have always condemned wrongdoing and crime and endorsed truth and honesty and right-living, regardless of race or color. If there were four companies and three of these were colored and one white and the council wanted to discontinue one, and knowing their ability to fight fire as well as you do, I certainly would not discontinue the one white company. Then, I ask the question, is this right? Let us remember the golden rule. Ex-Second Assistant Chief of Greenville Fire Department. FARE $2.00 CORADO RETURN SPRINGS OR PUEBLO.
