Tam aorry that I can't see you and talk with you face to face; I would take pleasure in so doing. I want you to know that there is one white man in Oklahoma who ap- preciates your manhood and bravery in dealing with your and my enemies Ihave read several of your papers handed me by Juhn Chiles of Col- umbia and B,G. Sparks of Dover. Tread your paper on old Hoch andthe separate schoul act, and know your sentiments are correct, At least, we are in perfect accord on that, and on the race question gen- erally, You cannot denounce such fellows, or rather such methods, too severely. It's just what's needed, If colored people everywhere would turn loose on them as you have done, ghewe would be a change of senti- ment s00n. Every colored man who tan make a decent talk should now turn loose hw tongue and give facts. Show and hold themup to a cheis- tam and civilized world. Colored people cun assist in moulding public sentiment too; especially when they are armed with such weapons as they already possess. Justice and right’ will prevanl in the end, Nick. (You will please pardon me for this seem- ing familiarity, for I feel that £ want to say “Niok."") Bo I aay God speed youin your noble work ef telling these old rebel d—Is the truth. Some one should doit, This isno time for cowards. The times are ripe now to give those old Negro- haters all they want of this race question or problem, as thed choose to callit. Since Japan has humiliated ore ofthe largest white powers inthe world, I notice there fsa general feeling among theother races (not white) that they will no longer tame- ly submit to Cauoasian asrogance and insults generally, Colored peo- ple ef America have all to gain and nothing to lose by agitation now, Crowd the fight. Keep it hot. Tmote that the whites are begin- niag to weaken on the idea and say- fog that thisis a white man’s coun- try; 80, as they are beginning to weaken, crowd all their wicked and un-American ideas into notice. It is killing to them to have their dev- Slment coustantly held up ¢o the gaze ol the eivilized world. The whole truth, Nick, should be told andtold often, I tell you, sir, that now is the time for colored people to contend for their rights, Test Roosevelt's sincerity of his ex- praseion, “a fair deal for every man,” I believe in equal rightsin all things. It’s socommon, and! think a very weong idea, that so many colored people have thatthey have po right to associate with white people. They and white politicians speak about their political rights before thelaw, their politicad rights, suffrage rights etc., in a@ roundabout way, Bat when anything (s said about s0- cialsighw they are killed of, for feag some white woman or man will want to marry some colored wonen orman. So common for oolored poople about like one M. A, Lovell of Vinita, Oklahoma, a eorrespond- -ent of your paper, whoesid in your issue of July 21, “It's not the intelli« gont Negre’s dovire toacsociate with the white race.” Now, ask all such follows to draw the line of demarks- tlom, please, between whites apd blacks. and hear him hum and haw or man, of whose parents ones full blooded Negro and the other parent istull blooded white. Ask him if it would bt more out of his or hoe place to marry a fall blood white or Dlack. Does Mr, Lovell say that he has no right or incbnation to visit a white man at his homs with a polite invitation 10 to do? Has a white man any greater social right? Is thereno nan or woman of color among tea million yeople of all shades of complexion who is intelli- gent, who might desire and would be worthy to aesvotata with some white people. t's the wrong idea to preach {o this 2oth century of en- lightenment and civilization. Lovell has the old, ante-bellum idea that was taught by white mea many tomes who were amalgamating with colored women right along. Ie is amusing and also disgusting tohear some old colored men talk against miaing, when they have mar- tied come white man’s daughter and will tell you mony times that they would never marry a black woman; but atill they are bitterly oppused to mixing, They tell you they would not marry anyone but a mixed wom- an, and are mixing themselves as fast as they can. His children are part Caucasian. I say away with such ignorance and ret, Well, Mr. Chiles, I don't want to worry you with too longs letter, I hope we may get better acquainted: Will send you money for your pajer in a few days. I want to send you eeme names of whites in a few days for sample copies, Can’t we ged up anextra good number or two, something good and rich for special missionasy work and send to whites all over the country? If yeu will do this let me knowa few weeks beferchand. I would like to write a short article or two for the special nusbera. Let’s make it red hot, Speak to Mz. Cannon about me, if yousre him. He was my old oeigh- bor down here. He can tell you allsbout me. By environments, I am identified with the colered race. You never sawa white man who took the colored rman's interest mora to heart than have I’ There does not a white man live in your state who has taken a bolder atand, spoken words more true for the sace, or made greater sacrifices for them than IJ have.

Simms and daughter went to Denver last week, and from there to Manitou Springs, where they wil! spend two weeks woth D, & Taylor, her brother, who is a teacher in the Bartlett school here. The 4th of August was not eele- brated in St. Joseph as Emancipa: tion day. Nobody or people was ever emancipated on that day. Great Britaun liberated her slaves on August lat, and Abraham Linooln liberated she slaves of America in rebellious states on Janusty1, A few colored preachors and politic- tans deosived the people some time agointo believing that the 4th of August was Emancipation Day, so that they might make a few dollars from selling whiekey, making speeches and running excursions. and so the deception waskept up at Kens City, Moberly, Marysville and a tew other places in Missouri whore the politicians are not alldead, but notin St. Joseph, The Hod Car: riers' unions cafl their excursions Emancipation day trains, but they simply mean that on Auguet 4, they themselves lay off'a day in order to ‘even ean ‘Gack onda an MUBSKOGEKE, IND.

Speeches were made by Depart: ment Commander Capt. PH. Godey and Peot. W.T. Vernon, President of Western University. Major Jobn iat Brown, master of ceremonies introduced the speakers and made a | avery eloquent plea that justice be done ta all mankind. ‘The Major is agood talker and every one was pleased to bear him, Ospt.

He advised the colored people acquire more education, accumulate wealth and demand of all men the same sights that they demand them- selves, His speech was well received and it was interesting to see how the old veterans aod members of the race sst attentively und listened to the outpuur of truths and advice. The next speaker introuduced was Prof, W. T, Vernon, the unmatched orator of the West,and the next register of the United States treasury to succeed Judeon W. Lyons. The audience went wild and applauded to the utmost, It was severa) minutes before order was restored 50 thatthe epeakee could proceed. It was one of the grandest ovations ever given to any man, So mucb ‘mportance was aitached to the words that flowed from hie lips that ae horse race which was im pogress at the time he was speaking, even at its higheet petch was not sufficient to attract the attention of the large audience that sat spell bound listening to Prof. Vernon’s eloquent and logical appeal. He dwelt upra matters of great interest to the American people, and gaid that he ‘saw much encouragement and hope jor the Negro, and allthavis needed tea little more time and patieoce and he will soon be the white man's equal in wealth and education, If Prof. Vernon bad any enemies among his hearees, he certainty sealed their mouths forever of that infamous statemant made hy them that he was in favor of seperate scnvols, anddefied any one toahow where he had ever wnitten a line or said a word to any one in favor ob such. He paused foe several moments for a sepdy and not a murmur was uttered, and the audience simply went wild.

Oe. wees Wee a a ee ee detract from the reunion by cirou- lating a false rumor about the re- union andthe committee. ‘This had awholesome effect,and the people seemed toturn outin larger num: bers. There ie always some cheap John Negro that the white man can use totsy to throw cold water, or rather to disgrace a reapectable and and successful gathering of colored people which the white mar would not countenance or publish of a white gathering. This A.C. Harris, who§dwells in the Imagination of being a very cute young man, hae displayed his abili- ty io the army already, andthe mem: bers of the Twenty-third Kansas, ea- pecially the officers, have his record. which can be given when necessary, Because he was not competent to perform the work that the committee demanded, in certain positions.he quit the committee, and is now try+ ingto speak disparagingly of the succers of the re union, The Topeka members of the Twenty-third Kantae have not a single gun or uniform, and for this reson only they did not appear in the parade. The committee did what it could to procure them, but did nét succeed. This re-union had more Twenty-third Kansas men in the parade than ever before. After it was found that a local company could not be equipped tor this occa: sion, the committee had to epend several dollars in getting the Kansat City boys to come to Topeka and make the re-nuion a success, for which the committee is under many obligations to them, and every bod) is encouraged to go to that cily next yearto help swell the sumber and inoreage the finance. The statement published in the two evening papers, whose reporters could have gotten a true repert had they seen the chairman or John Brown of the department or any member of the committee, without going out seeking some sorehead alley rat, who is jealous of the suc- cess of others and cannot make such himeolf, and who seeks an interviow in order to cast a stur on the colored people who are trying to make suc~ cess, is owtrageous. Had this been agatbering of whites thuse news- papers would have sought heads of departments for interviews, and would bave published things as they were. Wile we were not a soldier, the soldiers who were interested in giv-, ing the reunion, such as Capt. Reynolds, Sergt. Oscar Overr, S. E McCarroll, Ed Holloway, Prof. G. W. Jackson, Corp. Edwards and Jas. White ask and voted that we should be chairman to manage this re- union, The boys wanted to make it a success and wanted no foolshness. but strictly business, and how well we succeeaed is shown by the fol- lowing figures; We solicited in oash from gate receipts, privileges and contributions from committee of eight, $550; our expemses were $505. We served during the two days to soldiers, their friends and visitors over 50 meals, All these bills were paid, and there area few cents leftin the treasury. The ad. mission to the grounds was only fif- teen cents and those who wished to have seats on the grand stacd paid ten oonts extra Notwithstanding this cheap rate, there were aver 2,000 peopte wha slipped in unnoticed by the guards in both fair grounds and grand stand, during the two days and did mot pay acent. What pained us most was eee, and that we always make a suo cess of any undertaking, contributed oftheir means, Notwithstanding ‘this fact, we say, the colored people are the ones who ace doing the big- geatkicking. The following are the colored peopte whadonated; E.S ‘Lee, Wm. Brooks, Jee Johneon, Den- nie Hope, Geo, Chartes, Horace Lambertson: total amount, $10. Ot the cash donations from the whites, abount twenty dollars were in gro- ceries, Several of our people were in hopes that the re-unlon would be a failure because they thought there ‘would be afew dollars tn It for the committee; we did not think of that, but wished to make thoaffair a suc- cess and to advertise Topekain order that those who wish to invest money pian be led to invest here, One thing that the committee re- grets very much is that after eacgag: ing Prof. Gaitha Page to secure a hall team foe us, and after our prop- osition was made to the several teams of what we could afford to offer or guarantee, Ft, Riley came dewn upon their own responsibility under the management of I, H. Mas- ters; we guaranteed them $26 and more if the gate receipts warranted it. He did not even bring it before the committee, but went in league with Manager Page and procured Washburn college grounds and play- ed to 62 spectators. We regretio see young men like these who are trying to make hostory resort to un- manly methods. They resosted to things lower than could be eapectea ofthe most ignorant and vicious class ia thie country, that is, they issued circulars saying that the races had beew called off and that the sham battle would not take place until six o'clock, which was untrue; but instead of injucing us it increas- edthe number, The racea took place aud the sham battle began at five. Everybody highly enjoyed the two days entertainment and ew- pressed themselves as highly pleared, The sooner a certain class of Ne- grocs learn that they cannot buck the United Brates government ard Tue PLatwpeacer, the better it will beforthem, The people who had privaleges® at the fair grounds made moncy and were well pleased. There union has come and gone; Tue Prainpeaer hss spoken and the people are satisfied. The com- mittee feels happy and extends con- gratulationsto all. Knockers. fiau bometbing new.

Duncan, Sec’y, cerry cs _— wT Paha WIS | We have bed a number of letters from farmers who have unfortunately sowed dodder with their clover or alfalfa seed, asking bow it may be Gestroyed without at the same time destroying the crop. We bave not deen able to suggest any method. We notice, however, that M. Ballle has written an articlo 98 early a9 1901 tm the Horticultural Review of France ta which Le suggests that it mey be ab solutety destroyed by an application of povdered sulphate of fron to the aol] this destroys not only the dod der, hut also the plant. The tap roots, however, maintain their vitality and throw np a new growth. Hoard's Dalrsman suggests a cheap er acd more effective substitute for the eulphate of fron in the refuse ma teriat used for purifying coal gas, This inixture te eald to bo composed of rivtt-elx pounde of aulphate of trom and onethira of a bushel of quiek Ume in baif a bushel of sawdust. It would be worth while to try this. Unfortunately, we have no informatica as to how much of the sulphate of fron or the refuse mixture should be Used per acre As dodder Is usually found only in patches and as there ts Ro epecial hurry about making the @pplication until the dodder com mences seeding, one could spend come time tn ascertaining by experiment the proper amount needed to do the ‘hnelenen: Profits From Apple Grow!ng. 4 New York state farmer says be gets more profit from his 20 acre en chard then from all bis 145 acres be sides.

If there is one feeling free from the impurittes of earthty ¢cailty that tells in its slightest breathings of ite celeatial origin, it in the Master's love—an overwhelming and everlast: Ing Inve for His children; the name of Christ is our refuge and safe- guard in all our misery, It tethe first idea that dawue por the mind alter we are born of the Spirit of God, and itis the tondest aud most lasting tein which affection can bind the heartof man. Oh! to tell it In ite true sense; itisa pure and holy emanation trom Heaven's mer: cy seat, implanted in the beeast of man for the dearest and wiseat pur- poses. Itis not a selfish passion, depending for ite permauency upon the advantages that money can give; but in love's sincerity, it casteth out itself, and when the welfare of that object ts at hand it putteth away all fear. TousChrist gives histhoughts and powers of mind and body, What self-denial! What joy! what pure affection are included inthe name Jesus Christ! In that attach: ment we find all the heights and depths of sentiment, and when we compae Godto a loving Saviour, | what more can we oay? Chriet is the brightest jewel that Heaven could afford to save the souls of men. Itwas asad though that Christ muat leave us and be placed under the sod, but, dying, he was the beet proof of immortality, for his love is, and was too divine to vecome dust. When the path of love has been nobly tradden, when prospertty has smiled upon us, when virtue upheld uain all temptations, virtue, I say, which God first gave us, can you find a greater love than God's? It was not prosperity that tried the purity and fervor of God's love, but it was the dark precincts of adverstty, of hatred. In sorrow, in sickness, in despair, in poverty, in the cup of, misery, there the Master's love is di- vine and shine’s brighter than the sun. Even vice cannot destroy the Mastec's lave, the lowest degrada tions of humanity cannot blot out this love, because Jesus Christ said, “My blood fs sufficient to make the foulest clean,” and to speak of the holy chaege of Christ and his kingly power of love to rulethe fountains of the new born mind, he cailed for you aod me to lift himup because peither life nor death can sever his love.

Mr. J. M. Johnson, the present county treasurer, will announce his candidacy for renomination within the next two or three months; that is, provided he can be assured that he will have a fighting chance to win the nomination. He stands well in that county and says that he can have a delegation when he can show to his friends and the voters of the Republican party of Jefferson county that he has a chance for the office, and that he will not ask for a delegation until he has some assurance of the same. Attorney Oscar Raines, who was born in that county, is a popular man and announces his intention of being in the race for attorney general and will be in the race to stay. Jefferson county has two factions and every other candidate will be overlooked to test the strength of these two men in that county. As yet there seems to be no fight on Hoch, but the people will not lose any time with him while they have two candidates in the field. That county is bound to have a candidate on the state ticket and they have entered into the fight for the purpose to sacrifice the governor for any cause to land the coveted prize. These two distinguished gentlemen of Jefferson county are fighters and will stay to the end. OTTAWA, KANS.

Joho HH, Crowell, Boa 127, Orlando, Okla, BOYNTON, I.T. We have had a succession of gala days in this town during the past two weeks. The musical talent of the singers in the jubilee concert was a revelation to the whites; and then came the great demonstration of the Odd Fellows street parade, public installation and banquet. The procession was headed by a brass band, marching through the principal streets, and then escorted the Household of Ruth, led by its presiding officer, Mrs. Ida L. Robinson, to the lodge room. The true verdict of the outlookers is that it was a grand affair. Then, two days after, followed the District Sunday School convention of the A. M. E. church. The presiding elder had prepared a splendid program, and some fine papers were read, followed by lively discussion, and there were some able sermons preached. The best of them was one preached by Rev. J. H. Walden of Okmulgee. Among the subjects presented were: "For What Does the Sunday School Stand?" "Home Life and Sunday School," "Practical Application of the Lesson," "Sabbath Desecration by Christians," "How to Increase Attendance." "The Pastor's Relation to the Sunday School, in the School and Out." "Sosial Purity," "The Glory of the Human Body," "The Influence of Song." The choir furnished music, which was very highly complimented. On Saturday the ladies served dinner on the ground, the receipts from which increased the building fund. At the close of the convention, resolutions were adopted, including among other things' That pastors do more general reading, be a punctual, regular Sunday School attendant and, if need be, teach a class; that the superintendents hold weekly teachers' meetings in order that there may be an agreement between the teachers in conclusions and applications, that the cause of temperance be ever kept before the youth. The presiding elder said this was his tenth Sunday School convention in the Territory, taking in the largest cities, and it was the best one. The convention adjourned sine die Saturday, and the quarterly meetings began with sunrise prayer meeting Sunday morning. This was a high day. Sunday school at 9 a.m. love feast at 10; preaching at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., and the corner-stone laying at 5 o'clock by the Beaming Star Lodge No. 19, A. F. & A. M., assisted by Boynton Light Lodge No. 6367, G. U. O. of O. F., the former lodge from Lee. The two orders assembled in the hall of the latter and formed the procession and marched to the place of the corner-stone laying. The Masons occupied the right of the column going out and the Odd Fellows the right on the return, with the band between. Spectators lined up on the streets through which the procession passed, and a great crowd was waiting on the ground. Hon. J. J. Jefferson was at the head of the Masons and Capt. Geo. T. Robinson was at the head of the Odd Fellows. Prof. B. C. Makins, of the latter order was chief marshal. The orders having performed their duties, Pastor J. C. Hicks called for contributions, and while the band rendered several selections the receptacle of the corner-stone was filled with coin. Capt. Robinson led in singing "Old Hundred" and the exercises were brought to end. The 4th of August celebration has so degenerated that it is no longer observed in a general way. The chief aim seems to be money getting and the disorderly conduct attending the occasion renders it very dissatisfactory. It was pulled off at Ridge this time and there was a cutting scrape. Our band had an engagement on the 4th at Sapulpa, but on arrival there they found that the whites had captured the thing, and the blacks had gone to join their brethren at Beggs. Our own Merrineather went over to deliver the principal address, but not finding enough of his race on the ground to give the thing coloring, he bled himself back home. The whites took charge of the band and orchestra, and the dance went on. One of the delegates to the late convention is a full blooded Greek citizen. He is superintendent of an COLUMBUS. KAN.

This mission was organized by Rev. J. Frank McDonald, giving us two new churches in the district. There ought to be as many more. What we need now is a missionary preacher that will go out and organize new churches and preach a clean gospel and Christianize our people. God help us to love our church more, and try to save our people by preaching a whole gospel. Love is the golden chain that binds our hearts above and he's an heir of heaven who finds his bosom aglow with love. The beloved disciple John says God is love, and Paul's definition of love thus rendered in the New Testament, love is long suffering and kind. Love is never envious, never boastful, never conceived and never behaves unbecomingly. It is not self seeking, not easily provoked, nor does it reckon up its wrongs. Love has no sympathy with deceit, but has full sympathy with truth. It is proof against all things, trustful, always hopeful, always patient. Love never dies. We congratulate Brother J. F. McDonald for the first issue of the Western Recorder. It ought to be taken by every member and family in our church. Brethren, look well to our annual conference claims. We are praying for increase in all of our reports. Let us have faith that right will make might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it. We are very grateful to the brethren for their faithfulness thus far. We are yours in the Master's caune, —M. Coulins. OSKALOOSA, KAS.

These are a class of hustling Kansas Negroes that our young men and boys should pattern their lives after. They are prospering, accumulating and advancing to great influence and power. One thing we regret, and that is they are not training their young boys in the principles of advanced business methods and agriculture so as to fit them to take their places when age and debility have come upon them, and hold on to what has been gained and to further advance. Look to this, fathers! Quindaro or Manhattan should have them now.

The city Negro who stints, strains and constantly deceives his friends "to keep up with the crowd" should come to the country, buy a home and learn how to live—like a lord or prince. The pride of the Negroes of Hiawatha is their beautiful homes, which make Brown county a fit place to foster the spirit and supplement the work of the Negro's martyr, Old John Brown of Osawatomie.
