From the Enterprise We would like to believe otherwise but the more we study the question the more we are convinced that labor union and labor organizations, as they are a present constituted in the North, are imminent to the Negro. We believe that we are justified in saying that they are a curse to the Negro. We say this deliberately and advisedly. Labor unions forbid employers to employ Negroes unless they belong to the union and in turn rigidly debar Neroes from joining t'e union. Wherever a mechanic or laborer has been fortunate enough to be admitted into the union, we believe that they are treated with fairness; but white labored spies black labor and places as many barriers as possible in its way, and this is especially true of the various labor organizations. Here and there are to be found exceptions, but they are rare. We are speaking of organized labor in general and our contention is that organized labor is opposed to the employment of Ne- that they are non union men. This poliev is Pharis, ie an suicidal. Labor should stand by labor, as capital stands by capital, and this narrow sightedness of labor unions will cost them dearly. We know that it is contended that if a skilled mechanic can meet the requirements he is admitted to membership in the union. Had he been born in this section of the country he would have had no opportunity of apprenticeship given him. He could not therefore have acquired that proficiency which would have made him eligible to membership in the union. And here is when a organized labor does a great injustice to the Nergo youth of the north. It excludes him from apprenticeship and therefore effectively eliminates him from the ranks of skilled labor. Having done this it is an easy matter to say: When your men can meet the requirements of the union, when they become skilled workers, we will gladly welcome them into our union, for there is nothing in our constitution to exclude them on the ground o color. This seems very broad minded and just until one begins to look more carefully into the conditions confronting the Negro youth who are willing to become skilled workmen and then the utter hollowness of this fine spun argument and sophistry appear s. What op SEDALIA, MISSOURI Saturday, AUGUST 31 1901 portunity has any Negro youth of becoming an entered apprentice in any of the skilled arts or trades? We know of none. We would be gratified to be cited one single opportunity that can be afforded a Negro boy or girl in any community where union labor is in control to become an apprentice in any of the skilled arts or trades. This would do something towards removing the conviction that we have been loth to have grow upon us that labor unionism as constituted in the north, is an enemy to the Negro and would rob him of the God given right to earn his daily bread.

The Queen City Concert Band and the Sedalia Browns will leave this morning for Lexington where a band contest will be held. The band will do its best to bring back the honors, and if justice is given them from the hands of the judges they will surely win the blue ribbon, while the baseball boys will do their best to ho'd up Sedalia as a crack baseball center.

The Sedalia Brown's, the colored base ball team, has again been shut out from the privilege of playing at Liberty Park. It is true that the white team under the management of Messrs Blair & Kidd have the first right, and as the colored team is the next best we believe they should have the next chance and not be forced out for a pack of white kids. It is no more than right to give them a chance. They had arranged for two different games in the absence of the white team, and each time have been forced down for the small white kids. Mr Park Commission r do you think you are tresting the colored boys right? Your conscience tells you no, and you know you are not. Now why can't you tote squa once in a white? TENT MEETING.

You may talk about the Negro, You may name his faults infinite; But you cannot turn a wheel That a Negro isn't in it. You may block his civil rights, You may say you are agin' it But before you turn around, Some sharp Negro will be in it. You may build your Chinese walls, You may plan for every minute; But with all your widely schemes Some few Negroes will be in it. You may form your lil'wblte, You may kill your bear and skin it; When the pie is passed around, Some shrewd Negro will be in it. From the cook pot to the senate; There is not a place on earth, That a Negro isn't in it. Now my friends just stop your folly, Draw this thought out, now splu it; God intends from first to last, That a Negro must be in it. You may try the plans of Pnaroah, Kill the race out, try to thin it; When the census roll is called, Negroes always will be in it. If you keep on with your lynching, Take this thought out now and pin it; If you reach the shore of sheol. You may reach the Land of Buelah, If perchance you ever should win it; Don't emigrate my brothers, When you see some Negroes in it. A PLEASANT OUTING.

A civil war is raging in the Osage Indian nation, south of Wichita, Kan. It is caused, says a local exchange, by the fact that Peter Bigheart and Eagle Chief, two rich and influential Indians, want to be chief of the tribe. As only one can be elected, the feud that has been started threatens to outdo the Kentucky struggle so far as bloodshed goes. Already 20 Indians have been assassinated on account of the bitterness between these two factions, and the fight has just commenced. The fight commenced four years ago. Eagle Chief and Bigheart were then candidates for chief, and Bigheart won. Eagle Chief accused his rival of fraud, and in the contest that followed four or five Indians were killed. The defeated candidate represents the progressive element, and the present chief is in favor of running all the white men out of the country and going back to the first days of savagery. Notwithstanding his backward ways, he is the richest man in the tribe, and is said to be worth over $3,000,000. He has made it all since he has been chief. By securing the passage of bills favorable to his oil wells and the extensive mines he owns, he has amassed a big fortune from his office. These facts are being made good use of in the campaign against him, and they are telling on the influence of the big chieftain. On the other hand, Eagle Chief is accused of trying to play into the hands of the whites by favoring allotment. Many campaign stories have been spread, in which there is not a grain of truth, and this has only served to add fuel to the flames. Each man has a large following. SAN JUAN AND EL CANEY. The Battlefields Are Overgrown with Weeds and the Blockhouses Going Into Decay, "I thought you would probably like to hear about the old battle grounds—now they look now," writes a correspondent of the Boston Transcript. "I went to Caney and went over the whole field of July 1. You would scarcely recognize the places. The wire fence where Col. Haskell and Dickinson were shot has been repaired, and it is difficult to locate the spot. The bodies buried in the pineapple field—some 40 or more—have all been removed and the trench filled up. Parts of leggings, shoes, and other clothing of the dead can be seen lying about. The old stone fort is full of weeds and is crumbling down. The roof is entirely gone. The Spanish trenches near it are almost filled up. Down nearer the city the Spanish positives are difficult to determine.

The Elks are arranging for a big street fair during State Fair week. Let us get ready now and make one more effort to elect a Negro alderman from the first ward. --- The Missouri State Fair which begins September 9 promises to be a big success. The grounds are now about completed and a large number of fast horses have been entered. Gov Dockery is very slow when when it comes to giving a Negro protection. That shows what a moss-back democrat will do, and yet some weak-minded Negroes will fight and lose friends for them on election day. It is time to begin to think about laying in your winter's coal. Never mind the excursions, the picnics and the circus. Look in your coal bin and flour barrel. Winter is coming. Prepare to meet him. It would be a mighty good thing if the Negroes of Missouri would rise up and fool some of the white people who are burning Negroes at the stake through the agency of mob law. If a Negro commits a crime punish him according to law, but for God's sake a top taking them by mob law and burning them. Well, Staten was elected alderman from the second ward by a large vote and the colored voters did the greater part of the work. After the election the same old scene was enacted—"boozing." A small keg was put on tap for those who voted for the above named gentleman. We cannot see the advantage our people see in such doings. Do they vote for these people for "booze" or do they vote for them and in the best interests of the city? This election "booze" drinking is just what has put the Negro voters of Sodalia down so low. They are now at a point where most politicians and candidates think that all they have to do on earth is to agree to buy a keg of beer and his election is assured. He does not have to give him any job, such as a clerkslip, deputy or anything, only "booze" in case he his elected. How are ou going to get anything out of ese men after placing them in offices of public trust. We must sit down on this class of men and there is no better time than next spring. Vote against democrat, republican and all other people who believe in a booze drinking campaign and stand by the man who will do something for you.

It's a shame to let the outside public know that our leaders will suffer disregard. Begin now and stop such work. Get the good forces together and we can down it in the coming campaign. Let the white candidates know that it is not beer, cigars or whiskey we want, but jobs such as clerks, deputies, policemen—more than one, men on the streets and a chance to earn our bread and meat the same as others.

Acts as if he had been used to it all his life. Broker—Well, so he has. He pays out money every time his wife stamps her foot.—The World. Judge Grover and the Clergyman. The following anecdote of Judge Martin Grover is told by Henry L. Clinton in his "Celebrated Trials" Before he went on the bench, Grover defended a man for the murder of his wife by throwing her down a well. In addition to proof of circumstances of the homicide, the prosecution, in order to show his want of affection, by his coldblooded and brutal indifference to his wife, called as a witness a clergyman, who testified that he attended her funeral and sat in the pulpit with the officiating clergyman; and that while the latter was engaged in prayer, the prisoner was looking across the church winking at some of the girls on one side of the room, and continued to do so during the prayer. The impression given by this test.mony can be well imagined. Its effect was to shock the jury and the audience. In construing the conduct of the prisoner, in respect to the circumstances of the homicide, it was not unlikely that this evidence would be the turning point to convict him. Grover's cross examination of the witness was very brief. It was as follows: The price is only a quarter, the satisfaction is a good dollar's worth. IMPORTS At one you'll say: "This is different." At two you'll say: "Yes! very different." At three: "This is tobacco with some taste to it." At four: "A wonder nobody brought such leaf into the country before." At five: "Guess I'll get a box for my desk drawer." (Some dealers sell six for a quarter.) The point is, that they grow on you---never "gag"---and have a fulsome smack of natural tobacco richness. She Paid for a Receipt, But Got Advice. "Oh, Harold," exclaimed Mrs. Boulevarden, looking up from the paper with a smile of delight, "here it is at last." "Here's what, my dear?" demanded Mr. Boulevarden. "Another markdown?" "No, Harold; but just what I have been waiting for—a positive remedy for water bugs and mice." "Indeed?" "Yes. Oh, what a boon it will be. Think of the relief from those horrid things! We shall be able to keep cake and cheese now without being afraid that when we go to get any of it we shall find it in crumbs. I shall get the remedy right away." "What is it, dearest? You know we've tried borax and rough on rats and everything, without avail." "No, it's nothing like those. Listen, it says, 'Send $1 to Lock Box No. 111, 111, New York city, and receive directions for complete relief from the water bugs and mice in your house. I'll do it.' So Mrs. Boulevarden sent the $1. In three days she received in a big envelope the priceless remedy. Nervously she toro open the envelope and drew forth a sheet of paper on which was written: "To obtain complete relief from the water bugs and mice in your house, MOVE OUT." True.

They had done all that human skill could do, but in vain. It was evident that a human life was ebbing away. With an agonized gesture the husband turned to the man of medicine. "Can you do nothing more?" he cried, in despair entreaty. The other shook his head silently. "My skill is baffled," he said. "All my tests have failed to disclose the nature of the malady.

The United States fish commission is about to make an effort to determine as precisely as possible the area of sea bottom occupied by the tilefish—that strange and interesting finny species which was first discovered in 1879, only to be rendered almost extinct soon afterward by a marine cataclysm wholly unprecedented, says the Saturday evening Post. The fish commission thinks that an important and lucrative fishery for the tilefish may be created, when once the fishermen are informed at to where they should go to look for the species, which is excellently adapted for the table. Hitherto it has remained almost unknown simply because its home is in the depths. There is reason to believe that it has again become very numerous, and a reference to the history of the famous catastrophe of 1882 shows that in March and April of that year 7,500 square miles of ocean were found profusely sprinkled with tilefish, the number being estimated at one thousand millions. The eastern edge of the North American continent is overflowed by the sea, that is why the water near the edge is so shallow. To find the true edge of the great continental land mass would have to travel about 80 miles due eastward from New York. This begins a sudden descent to the floor of the ocean, which is 2½ miles deep. A narrow belt of this density, running north and south, is lafted by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, and here is found the tile-fish. The catastrophe above mentioned, which so nearly wiped out the entire species, was undoubtedly due to an invasion of the belt by the arctic current.
