S Walden, Mrs Katy Smith, Mrs Wm Ogden Southern Representation Should Be Reduced If the South Disfranchise the Colored Voter It is an inevitable fact that if the Supreme Court of the United States should sustain the Alabama state's new constitution and the new constitution of North Carolina in disfranchising the colored people, especially if they hold that the grand father is good, then the colored people and their white friends should demand that the 14th amendment to the constitution should beenforced, and the representation in Congress and electoral college should be reduced to the exact number of qualified voters in such states. The 14th amendment reads as follows: Whenever the right to vote at any election for electors of president or vice president, or for United States representatives in congress, executive and judicial officers, or members of the legislatures thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state. It is true that this amendment has never been enforced heretorfore, but the north and especially the Republican party thought that the south would eventually grant the right of franchise to the colored man, but now there seems but little hope for them to do so. Mr. W. E. Curtis, one of the most influential writers of the Chicago Record-Herald, gives some election tables that shows the violation of the 14th amendment and the injustice done the voter of the north.

A very few flowers was left at grave yard today. Today is memorial day, and our readers must excuse our paper. The question has been asked; Why is it that more of our teachers do not get first-class certificates? How do you expect to win when you are always fighting your brother, under the cover. Read our article on "Who has or do skin Sedalia people" and who has been loyal to her enterest. We don't like to fight, but we have got the manhood enough to defend ourselves. We have not heard of any effort made by the Negroes of this state to build a monument to the late Col. Crisp! We notice that a Negro preacher in Illinois has sued a white barber for refusing to shave him on the ground of equal rights. We hope he will win his suit and then come over in old Missouri. A colored girl has been found in the bushes near Warrensburg with her throat cut from ear to ear, and they don't know who did it, but the white paper says that a Negro did it. Did yov ever notice how hard it is to please some people? They will kick on anything you do, no matter for what purpose it is. If it is done by a Negro, some Negro will make a "kick." Did you ever get on to the fact that the only people who skin the Negroes of Sedalia are strangers who come to the city and stay for a few days, out the old citizens hang on and will give you a square deal for your money, We do not say all newcomers seek to swindle the Negroes of Sedalia, but the majority of them have, and we can sight you a few of them any time. Booker T Washington was in Indianapolis, Ind., the other day, --- and was interviewed by the leading newspaper men of the city as wined and dined by the mayor and city officials generally, and also addressed the graduating class at the High school. We are willing to believe that he had nothing but good in his heart for everybody, but hardly think he had the least idea that a poor, unheard of white woman would jump into fortune and fame out of the incident of refusing to make up the bed in which he had slept, but such is the fact. It may be that Mr. Washington did not care a snap whether a white hand or black hand made the bed after he had slept in it, and if he had any preference in the matter there might be something in common between him and Miss Hadley. But let that be as it may. We are glad for the lady's sake, otherwise the world would never have heard of her. Booker Washington, while in Indianopolis the other day, was asked some questions in regards to the present status of Tuskegee College, said; The talk of ex-president Cleveland has done the school great good in the south as well as in the north—At my New York meeting a gentleman from Atlanta, give me $1000,—Mr Carnigies gift $600,000 will be used for endowment purposes only.—The school now own 2,400 acres of land.—We have 1418 pupils, and have turned away 500 applicants to the last year for want of faculities. We have 110 teachers. We are cultivating 800 acres of land.—Our school teaches twenty eight indus tries persuits—the largest number of male students take to farming—the other leading trades are, brickmaking, harnessmaking, shoe making. cookery, laundry work house keeping and nursing.

Horace White is able to be out again, but he will keep a close eye on the next traveling man. Mr. John Powell of Lamonte was in the city Thursday paying up his taxes and looking after other business.

How do you expect your advertising to pay unless you give it proper attention? You wouldn't plant seed in a garden and never look at it again. If you did, the chances are that it would never grow into the "You wouldn't plant seed in the garden and I never go near it again." A shrewd advertiser said to me recently: "I like to advertise in papers which charge a good, stiff, extra rate for display and for the insertion of cuts. The fact that they do this prevents a good many people using them, and as a consequence, my ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait until the last minute, and then ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait until the last minute, and then write something hurriedly, running the risk of making mistakes, and with almost the certainty of failing to get a really good announcement. A bad advertisement in a good paper may possibly do "I can't each a hard thing to write good ads. It is main- ly a question of taking time enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought."

I saw a notice the other day of an advertisement which had been run continuously in identically the same form since 1866. That advertisement may have done some good, probably did; but to bring really adequate returns, advertising should be freshened by frequent changes of copy. I have recommended frequent changes to a man, who said: "Yes, but our newspaper charges us extra for composition if we change our ad oftener than once a week"—or once a month, as the case might be. That doesn't alter the case at all. The advertisement should be changed, and, if it costs a little more, it costs a little more, and that's all there is of it. It will pay to pay the additional charge. "Do not say you haven't the time." t is mainly a question of taking time enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought. Do not say you haven't time, because this part of the business is just as important as any other. In one sense, it is more important, because without it the business cannot amount to very much.

The book will furnish food for study and reflection for men who on all occasions speak of the Negro's unfitness for citizenship, and it will be a source of comfort to those citizens who believe despite some outward signs to the contrary and the rantings of rabid rhetoricians that the black man possesses some elements of progress. While the number of artisans among the Negroes is comparatively small, investigation has demonstrated that they are good workmen and that among a number of business concerns in the southern states, employing 2,500 skilled Negro laborers, "three-fourths are satisfied with these workmen and will continue to employ them." The author shows that the attitude of the trades unions toward the Negro has been a stumbling block in his progress. Despite the fact that the American Federation of Labor once declared that it would receive all worthy men regardless their race, it still recognizes unions in which the color line is strictly drawn. The law against admitting negroes has been modified in the mining districts, where 40,000 of the 500,000 union members- But 500,000 other laborers are members of unions which will not admit negroes. The bodies outside the mining district which have opened their doors slightly to the negro have a membership of about 200,000, and of these only about 1'000 are negroes. Among the many tables contained in the book one of the most interesting shows the number of skilled negro laborers in 18 states. The most popular occupation, according to the statistical table, is 'steam railway employees,' of whom there are 45,080. Carpenters come next, with almost 21,000. Blacksmiths and wheelrights, marble and stone cutters, barbers, bricklayers, boot and shoe makers and cotton mill operators follow in the order named. While the author points with pride to 357 patents of men who in spite of prejudice and organized opposition work at their trades, he does not lose sight of the fact that there is still much room for improvement among the negro artisans, and closes his work with this note of warning. "Deftly guided with the larger wisdom of men and deeper benevolence of great hearts, an outcome of good to all cannot be doubted. Muddled by half trained men and guided by selfish and sordid interests, and all the evils of industrial history may easily be repeated in the South — Colored Statesman.

BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because its tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition. TO THE GOLURED LOPLE OF THE WORLD: Be not deceived by loud advertisements, that promise much and accomplish little. Do not send your money away until you know what you are going to get for it. We do not ask you to send us your money until we have proved to your own satisfaction that It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent catharsis that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. IS NATURE'S GREATEST HAIR TONIC STRAIGHTENS KINKY HAIR. "My baby is 4 months old and is teething. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through perhaps if he were under his care. When I saw he was getting worse, I stopped giving him milk. I was very worried. I had to go to the doctor and know what it was to close my eye or day or night. I gave him a new drop of LAXAKOL and it relieved him. I gave it to him a few times, and it worked like a clam, and he no, rest pretty fair all night. It was a great relief. I gave him LAXAKOL, and I think it worked nothing else to their sick babies." MRS. MARY DALYE, 591 First Street, South Easton, Mass. JANE Laxakola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been found invaluable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease.
