The idea maintained by so many people that to work in the kitchen or as house girl or maid, is degrading and dishonorable, is one of the greatest errors committed by our social fabric. Girls have astray many a time because they did not desire to work in the kitchen. The kitchen should not only not be shuned but sought. Every girl has, invariably, sooner or later, to become mistress of a kitchen of her own and therefore, should be glad of the experience and information usually gleaned from having worked for someone who is up to the time. Most of the places, especially north, have light work or if not light, they have all modern improvements and fairly good pay. They provide a nice place for the girl, if desired, and she is treated as nicely as can be expected, in most cases. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule. Don't look with disdain upon any work, and be proud of whatever you do. It's as honorable as the clerkship. ek's Forum do for President?". of a great Political in the fake votes", zation of Ambidex- oard". Dr. J. C. O'Conner. One of the stalwart Republicans of Sangamon county, is Dr. J. C. O'Conner of Buffalo, candidate for the legislature, and as he represents the proper principles relative to the absorbent topic of the day, we advise our readers to consider his candidacy on the 4th of August. Dr. O'Conner has been a personal friend to the Negro race, and it certainly be in accord with the eternal fitness of thing for us to support him in this election. He will, in all probability, if elected, vote for Yotes. This would be to our liking. 15C A MONTH The Congressional Election of 1900 The election this fall is a very important one, insomuch as the entire lower house of the National Legislative body is to be chosen—391 men are to be elected. The Republicans have a large majority in both houses, but it is foregone coclusion that this large majority will not be retained, and, too, there is much fear that the democrats will beat the Republicans, tho such a thing is predicted by campaign forcasters or by the congressional committee's heaquarters. Our party, i.e., the Republican party, will make their plea on the record made by her men, and the democrats will make theirs on what they will do and what the g. o. p. didn't do. Benj. F. Caldwell will be the democratic aspirant from this city and Congressman Rodenburg will aspire to retain his seat from St. Clair county. Mr. Caldwell is popular among all races and classes and his election, if a good campaign is made, is almost a certainty. There is some hostility to the St. Clair county candidate. Decatur, Ill., News Letter. There are two lodges now under rapid development toward permanency. The K. of P. lodge has set up with twenty members. They have nine more to make at the next meeting. The Odd Fellows have not set up as yet but in all probability will organize within the next two weeks. The Foresters are still moving slowly. Mrs. King of Springfield was in Decatur last Sunday and made an interesting talk on "Woman's Work and the Mission Field" at Antioch Baptist church. D. W. McMurray has given up his position as manager of the Decatur Grocery Co. Miss Jessie McMurray and George Crook are in charge. H. A. Watkins and B. G. Clanton have returned from their long visit thru the southwest. Next Sunday is rally day at St. Peters A. M. E. church and we hope to see all friends interested in its welfare, turn out and assist. The debt must be paid. Mrs. Ella Taylor is still very sick. Friends should not forget Notice to Pontiac. James B Walker, our agent in Livingston county, will be in Pontiac, July 21, and desires all subscribers to the Forum to be ready to pay for one year's dues, also, he will be glad to get all who are not subscribers to become such. , THE FORUM . isnt Sal ay A weekly magazine paper devoted to the interests of the whole people.

By Booker T, Washing: on It is not often that one finds a colored. man acting in the capa. city of Mayor of a city of 208,000 inbabitants, yet when I vtsited Toronto, Canada, not very long ago, I-found that for two months during last Summer a Negno had occupied that position while the regular Mayor was absent i Europe. Tue man to whom I re fer isthe Hon. P. Hubbard, Pres. of the Board of Control, which in Toronto js the. Mayor’s cabinet. AS the highest officer in the cab. in®s Mr. Hubbard becomes act: ing Mayor when the regular M®*Y°F is away. It has become my habit for some years past to take note, in the course of my travels about the country, of those members of my race who, by the exercise of those common virtues that are within reach of the humblest man, have achieved some sort of success and made themselves re- pected in the communities in which they live. : [have taken particular note of these men because their success iiicate possibilities that are vpen to: the great majority of black men in this country, and because I believe these men, asa class, represent a new type that is coming into existence among the people of my race. The class of men to whice I refer do not belong to the ignorant proletarat who are without property aod without self: respect, neither do thep asp‘ra to belong to the pro fessional and literary classes in which success is ordinarily gain- ed by those who have some spec: ial talent for that sort of labor They constitute rather a sober, industrious, thrifty, self- respect. ing middle class—a class which is the backbone of every race and every people that has succ- essfully entered into and became a part of our modern industrial civilization. William P. Subbard, Com ptrol ler of the ety of Toronto, has been for twelve years, first as Alderman and then as Compt roller, a member of the city Leg islature of Toronto,’ Although during this time he has giver THE FORUM his attention almost exclusively to the work of political ffice, he represents in.an exceptional! way the practi?!

If we had one thousand tongues and every tongue could speak to one thousand persons we would stand up in this city and commun- ity and cry aloud day after day saying Negroes, support your own business enterprises, In this city there are some credible, re- liable, and sucessful Negro bus iness enterprises which merit and should receive the united and hearty support of the colored people of this community, If Negro patronage were given to race movement many other and larger ventures would be started, How very often we hear the same question asked by some impract ical iagirer, why don’t the leading and prominent Negroes in this city starta bank, a factory, a steamboat line to Remley’s Point oradry goods store. The ans wer is that our people do not properly support nor appreciate the busimess efforts which are now making for and by the race, The Negro race here is not stand- ing by and sustaining the indus. rial insurance companies, the few grocery stores, druggist and other concerns run by Negroes as they should.

J, Morton, Prop. Governor Hanly. Some one signing his name “A Citizen,” in the Illinois State Register of Tuesday, takes Gov. Hanly to task because the gov- ernor speaks out about the en- forcement of the law. The ‘‘Cit- izen” says the governor is incon- sistent because he ‘‘aids and protects” one, ex-Gov. Taylor, charged with the Goebel murder. Hanly is right—itis not wrong to protect Taylor from those murderers in Kentucky. If Tay- lor had justice, he would be, or, would have been governor of Kentucky. Cullon and Yates in Chicago. United States Senator Shelby M. Cullom and ex-Gov.

We cannot begin to supply the demands that come to ws for trained men in the direction of agriculture. The posi- tions for which these trained men are wanted are those in almost) every case which pay high salaries.

What's the use of trying to harmonize the Cullom-Yates fac- tion? There is no harmony— ‘War is inevitable, let it come.’’ There can be no peaceable ad- justment of this complicated affair in which Sangamon county and the state of Illinois have be- come entangled. Let the Yates people have their men in the field, likewise the Cullom men, and whoever is victorious let him reign supreme, and, after they have been declared the electors by the judicial authorities, let us then unite for the common weal, or the ignominious defeat of the party is a foregone conclusion This in our opinion, is the only real solution to this delicate and intricate political problem now confronting the voters of Illinois, from one extreme to the other— all other ventures, we are prone to believe, will prove futile. --For- Sheriff of this Vote for Ch DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes.

Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from post-office to which they are directed they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from postoffice, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of international fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearages is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the "For good work, quick work, easy work, and all kinds of work, give me the Remington," says the experienced operator.

Distinct Distinctively D In Ever Distinctively Different, In Every Way the Best. The Weekly Globe-Democrat, of St. Louis, covers a field peculiarly and exclusively its own. It is issued twice every week. A big SEMI-WEEKLY paper. Eight to ten large pages every Tuesday and Friday. One Dollar a year. Nothing particularly different you say, about that—there are other "Twice-a-Week" papers. Yes, but the similarity ends there. No other paper is like the Globe-Democrat in any other respect. No other paper equals the Globe-Democrat in any respect. An entirely unique feature of the Globe-Democrat, a feature which is highly prized by its readers, is its systematic method of preserving and presenting the CONTINUITY OF NEWS. The two papers each week. Tuesday and Friday, are carefully prepared with the view of giving the complete news of all the world for that week. They are so combined in the make-up as to form continued and connected stories of the various important events, showing the developments from day to day, and the final results. Other weekly and twice-a-week papers, as a rule, print only a few telegrams of the day of issue. The "Twice-a-Week" Globe-Democrat gives the telegrams of every day in the week more comprehensively than the average Daily, and of more value to the average reader. Moreover, the "Twice-a-Week" Globe-Democrat is not simply an echo of the Daily edition. St. L. Specific Out All busi- -200 copi- -Lincoln- cut and m Like to ha HON UND.

Mr. Conklin is a fine man and will fill the bill creditably. On the Democratic side unless Devereax asks for a third term, we can hardly predict. There is Jno Mc Creery, who, should he run, will be formidable But, it will not be amiss for the men who expect to run to get their names before the leading people who have real interest other than a dollar for their immediate use. There are Democrats and Republicans whom the Forum will endorse to be elected and too, men in both parties whose retention, we indorse. The pay one gets for violating any law, if he continues to do so, is death. If a man will violate the laws of health to a certain extent, the wages is death. A man may sin against his body, his character, his health, and his soul but, if you continue snch sin, the wages you will receive is death. Be careful, then that you sin not, in order that, when your check is given you, it will not be "death" but life eternal where you shall remain forever in ecstacy and joy. Does a man maliciously sin against God; if so, for what reason? --- Negro Men and Women Deputies Wanted Everywhere. The City Election. Next spring there is to be elected a Mayor, Controller seven Aldermen, one city Attorney, one city Clerk, a city Treasurer, and some Minor officers, the result from which there will be many appointments, but before this election takes on any of its potential aspects, the county and legislative candidates will have been elected, U. S. Senator will have been chosen, but not raftied by the Legislature no doubt. We have no idea who will be out for Mayor, on the Democratic or Republican sides, as it is hoped the August Primaries will settle the Ya'tes—Culhom fakirs. If this is so, Cy Morrow may be induced to make race. Eliminating factional prujudices Morrow would make the strongest and surest Candidate for the Republicans if Yates is victorious in this city, he will be the logical man. Harmony or no harmony Reid will doubtless be reelected for city clerk from the fact he has given perfect satisfaction to all. The same is true of Roy Seeley though neither of these men have said he would be a candidate. Griffith may be a candidate for Mayor again; also there ie much talk of W.J. Conklin being a candidate.

Ka Isaka Seme I have chosen to speak to you on this occasion upon "The Regeneration of 'Africa.'" I am an African and I set my pride in my race over against a hostile public opinion. Men have tried to compare races on the basis of some equality. In all the works of nature, equality, if by it we mean indentity is an impossible dream! Search the universe! You will find no two units alike. The scientists tell us there is no two cells, no two atoms, identical. Nature has bestowed upon each a peculiar individuality, an exclusive patent —from the great giants of the forest to the smallest blade. Catch in your hand, if you please, the gentle flakes of snow. Each is a perfect gem, a new creation; it shines with its own glory—a work of art different from all of its aerial companions Man the crowning achievement of Nature, defies analysis. He is a mystery through all ages and for all time. The races of mankind are composed of free and unique individual. An attempt to compare them on the basis of equality can never be finally satisfactory. Each is self. My thesis stands on this truth; time has proved it. In all roces, genius is like a spark, which, concealed in the bosom of a flint, bursts forth at the summoning stroke. It may arise any where and in any race. Africa to Europe or to any other continent. I make this request not from any fear that such comparison might bring humiliation upon Africa. The reason I have stated,—a common standard is impossible! Come with me to the ancient capital of Egypt, Thebes, the city of one hundred gates. The grandeur of its venerable ruins and the gigantic proportions of its architecture reduce to insignificant the boasted monuments of oaher nations. The pyranids of Egypt are Structures to which the world presents nothing compareable. The mighty monuments seem to look with disdain on every other work of human art and to vie with nature herself. All the glory of Egypt belongs to Africa and her people. These monuments are in indestructable memorials of their great and origonal genius. It is no through Egypt alone that Africa claimssuch unrivalled historic achievements. I could have spoken of the pyrtmids of Ethiopa, which, though inferior in size to those of Egypt, far surpass them in architectural beauty; their sepulchres which evince the highest purity of taste, and of many prehistoric ruins in other parts of Africa. In such ruins Africa is like the sun, that, having sunk beneath the western horizien, still plays ubon the world which he substained in his career. Justly the world demands— "Whether is fled the visionary gleam, Where is it now, the glory and the dream?" Oh, for that historian who, with the open pen of truth, will bring to Africa's claim the strength of written broof. He will tell of a race whose onward ide was often swelled with tears THE FORUM but in whose heart bondage has not quenched the fire of former years. He will write that in these later days when the Earth's noble ones are named, she has a roll of honor too of whom she is not ashamed. The giant is awakening! From the four corners of the earth Africa's sons, who have been proved through fire and sword, are marching to the future's golden door bearing the records of deeds of valor done. Mr. Calhonn, I beleive was the most philosophical of all the slave holders. He said once that if he could find a black man who could understand the Greek Syntax, he would then consider their race human, and his attitude toward enslaving would therefore change. What might have been the sensation kindled by the Greek syntax in the mind of this famous Southernner, I have so far been unable to discover; but oh, I envy the moment that was lost! And woe to the tongues that refuse the truth! If any such I conld show him among black men of pure African blood those who could repeat the Koran from memory, skilled in Latin, Greek and Hebrew,—Arabic and Chaldiac—men great in wisbom and profound knowledge—one professor of philosophy in a celebrated Germain university; one corresponding member of tho French Academy of Sieuce, who regulatory transmitted to that society metorological observations, and hydrographical journals and papers on botany and geology; another whom many ages call "The Wise," whose authority Mohomet himself frequently appealed to in the Koran in support of his opinion—men of wealth and active benovlence, those whose distinguished talent and reputation have made them famous in the cabinet and in the field, officers of artillery in the great armies of Europe, generals and leuitenants generals in in the armies of Peter the Great in Russia and Napolean in France, presidents of free republics, kings of independant Nations which have bhrst their way to liberty by their own vigor. There are many other Africans who have shown marks of genius and high character sufficient to redeem their race from the charges which I am now considering. Lsdies and gentlemen, the day of exploring expeditions in Africa is over! Man knows his home now in a sense never known before. Many great and holy men have evinced a passion for the day they are now witnessing, their prophetic vision shot through many uuborn centuries to this very hour. "Men shall run to and fro," said Daniel, "and knowledge shall increase upon the earth." Oh, how true! See the triumph of human genius today! Science has searched out the deep things of nature, surprised the secrets of the most distant stars, disentombed the memorials of everlasting hills, taught the lightning to speak, the vapors to toil and the winds to worship—spanned the sweeping rivers, tunneled the longest mountain range—made the world a vast whispering gallery.

Springfield, In our last issue we called the attention to the candidacy of Mr. Russel as state treasurer and by so doing we merely expressed the concensus of Illinois' opinion outside of Cook county. The Treasuryship is a great big job, but so is Andrew Russel. To be custodian of this great state's exchequer, requires a man whose experience has not been hampered, who has that natural ability to perform the functions of the office with discretion and honesty, to be courteous and approachable; these are the indispensibles essential, and all of these go to make up Mr. Russel's physique. His name will be on the ticket August 4, and each voter should appoint himself as a committee of one to work in his interest. Mr. Russel is a prominent Jacksonville banker. Congressman Rodenberg, on returning from Washington, was enthusiastically received.
