Politics Heard on The Streets. A+ the democratic rally last Friday night many blood and thunder bursts of oratory were indulged in and for the main part the spell-binders of dusky hue, dwelt upon the good graces of the present city administration. Then there was the ever prevailing display of misappropriated English, which naturally tended to weaken the cause they were trying to espouse. The teachings of the Bible were freely quoted, Shakespeare and every other peer, were the sources from which elaborated effusions were belched forth, embellished with saloon phraseology, etc. And yet we have been asked to do it justice. Well we have Judge Murray's talk was sensible. They say that Smulki nor Piotrowski are meeting with much favor so far as the voters are conCerned. If the voter do not favor them, they will lose. It is rumored that after next Tuesday, candidates for the spring election will bob up like mushrooms. THE FORUM weekly magazine paper devoted to the interests of the whole people.

At the Metropolitan Club last Sunday, seated in this cozy parlors, A. W. Naylor, C. Hinton, Fred R. York, Fred William, Harry Brown, Roy Smith, E. L. Rogers and a few other members, who, inadvertently, ran across the ever live "race question," bringing up the various phases appertaining thereto, spoke of the report in the Register relative to the St. Louis Colonization Scheme, formulated there by prominent Negroes. Most of the discussers thought the scheme a timely one, and Mr. Naylor cited similar incidents at Xenia, Ohio, and other places. They did not think that such schemes were calculated to wholly segregate the Negro as to his place of abode, but simply looked at them as inevitable things which would revert to our financial and property owning elevation. Messrs. Naylor and Roy Smith were quite optimistic over the colored people's standing in Ohio, especially Xenia. All the men favored classification among our own people and thought that the worthless, shiftless and idle contingent should be eliminated or when practical, deporded. They commended the aid given our people along educational lines by the white people and concluded that this is the best opportunity for young men to start out in the world. They also thought that as a people, it is "worth that makes the man." They may advocate the laying out of a track of land here for respectable colored people two or three miles from the square. Should Behave. We hope the colored people and others too, will conduct themselves like men on election day. There will be much interest displayed and the results will be close. There should be no friction exerced nor any malice toward people who choose to support whom they believe are better men to whom they are guaranteed better returns. We do not mean the larger amount of dollar money, received at the polls. No man should let a dollar buy his vote yet every man is justly entitled to compensation for real work done, at the polls or otherwise. The time will come when you can't tell a Negro republican from a Negro democrat. THE FORUM Stephen Sipos Goes Free. It seems to be a hard matter to convict a man of murder in Sangamon County. We do not know anything about the facts in this case, but we don't believe every man charged with murder, did so in self-defense, and believed beyond a reasonable doubt had he did not kill his adversary he, himself, would have been killed. The fault is not in the man, for it is natural for him to seek a continuance of life and liberty, but in our jury and the court. We must have a purer jury system. Don't let the guilty escape The Value yf Reading Magazines. The Voice of the Negro, through its editor, J. Max Barber, left Atlanta and is now in Chicago, came, as usual brim full of the best reading you would desire. Its contributors are the best in the country. This magazine should be reda by every young colored person in this country—our young people will never be on par with the young white people until they become hungry for current literature and Negro literature when found. England rose to the height of her fame through her literary men, as did Rome and Greece and this nation. As a component of this nation, we shall only rise to the level of our literary standing. Reading people, (good reading) seldom get into mischief. A Boston paper has decided that a girl ceases to be a girl when she is thirty-five years old. She ceases to be a girl at any time she agrees to between sixteen and twenty-five if she is a Kentucky girl and not, a man hater. One Jew in the Cabinet is surely not greater representation than is due to a race that has done more to make the greatest commercial nation on earth.—Courier-Journal. [How about one Negro in the Cabinet?] "The Negro no longer an Object of Charity." The above was the caption of a daily paper in commenting on the negroes' present status. This is evidently more or less true, and that the negro will have to prepare himself more so than in the past, is all the more obvious. "They won't give the negro a chance," is the howl of some of our people who do nothing that anyone can commend; have nothing that anybody wants, and is worth still less to himself. A colored man, whether black, green or gras, is measured by his worth, be it real or theoretical. A man with no brains that, can be utilized, or money that can be had, is a cipher without a coefficient. When the negro was freed he had few friends no money or property worth consideration. Charity was then needed. We have obtained a toe-hold now—money is what we need, and which a goodly number of us have—to get. Quincy Advance.

A. A. CRIPT'S To-night Pablo Picasso Roy R. Reece for Co. Treasurer. Roy R. Reece is one of Springfield's most highly respected business men and a son of the late General J. N. Reece, formerly Adjutant General of Illinois for many years. He was born in this state and came to this city with his parents at the age of 3 years, where he obtained his education in the public schools, graduating from the High School, class of 1889. For a number of years he held a position as traveling salesman for a large wholesale clothing house, and for the last five years has been at the head of Reece's Laundry of this city. He has lived in this city practically all of his life and his unquestioned integrity and ability have won for him a host of friends He was overwhelmingly nominated in June and August for County treasurer and a more competent and worthy young man is to be found in our city. Such a man as Roy Reece should receive the support of every republican and many democrats in this county. It is our duty as well as privilege, to push the best men to the goal. This young man has the ability, the integrity, moral prerequisites and is a gentleman from the American sense of the word. He having all of the qualifications, this paper therefore endorses him and ask every Negro and others too to vote for him without money or price. CHICAGO & ALTON RY TIME TABLE Northbound. Arrive.

They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction.

We are asking every one to stand by Roy Reece for County treasurer because we believe him to be in every way capable for the place. The Forum has repeatedly called attention to the fact that we stand for the best men for our public officers. Can any one who knows the candidate hesitate for one moment to vote for Judge G. W. Murray. It is not necessary again to give reasons why this should be done. The judge's reapeated acts of kindness and fairness is sufficient argument. When our people learn that they cannot help one another without helping a third party, they will have learned a great lesson. Every legitimate enterprise that is supported helps your boy or girl now in school. Every dollar you save or invests helps to keep your own children from ruin. Remember this. The Dope Ordinance a Good One. Until recently the city code made no provision against the 'dope' but now that it has took steps to blot out this habit brought over by the hog-eyed celestial, we commend the council for this noble act. We have spoke of these evils before. John Mitchell Jr. John Mitchell, of Richmond, Va., the president of the Mechanic's Savings bank and editor and proprietor of The Planet, one of the best papers published. was the only Negro delegate to the National bankers' convention at St. Louis week before last. He is a man of stirling qualities and courage, yet conservative. He is not a dreamer, theorist and "air castle bnilder," but a practical man, who believes in going after all things tangible and feasible. He is a credit to our people. Governor Vardamen pours out his spleen at all occasions, whether in conformity with the occasion or not. The Cjbbs-Jones Episode. Editor Forum—from reading the Leader, one is led to believe that Chas. Gibbs and Rev. C. H. Jones are at sword's points over something the "Doctor" said not good, of the republican party at the Masonic hall the 26 ultimo. The Leader is a little too severe though in its criticisms of the g. o. p. It is rather optimistic coming the out come of the election, if the Leader wants to bet anything he can get odds. The republican party may need expervation in many places, as does the democratic, the former has been our rod and our staff, and is to day, as a whole, the life boat of the nation; yet there are democrats just as good as republicans and oughtnot be ignored. If Jones will accept, before or after the election, I assure all that Gibbs will meet in the forum and when the battle is over the gladiator will think Demosthenes had swallowed his prey without mastication. A READER. Benj. Jackson has purchased back the entire interest in The Keystone. THE FORUM Hon. Benj. F. Caldwell and Senator Cullom were instrumental in securing the addition to our post office. Mr. Caldwell is ever alert in looking after the interests of the people of this Co and this Congressional district. He has always been regarded as the best friend of the masses. Thos. E. Lyons and Logan Hay, E. C. Pruitt and Constant should not be overlooked. Casey's book is for sale here. The book is a thriling narrative of the early life of Walter Casey. now in prison, charged with killing his wife, whom he makes the heroine of the "drama." Death ot Grace Halliday Malory. Mrs. Grace Halliday Malory, wife of Frank Malory of the.famous Malory show, died at her home in Jacksonville this week. The many friends of this clever stage lady over the country. will be sorry to learn of her sad death. She was well-known and her place will be hard to fill on the stage and in society, where she played a conspicuous part. The Halloween Ball at the masonic hall had a good attendance.

WERNER CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF Charles Werner, democratic candidate for sheriff, is one of the best known men in Sangamon County.

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 MOTTO: "It is no benefit to have given me something, but it is a benefit to have enabled me to obtain something for myself."—Emerson.
