St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM Harry M. Coudrey for Congress. Election November 8, 1904 Vol. XX. No. 46. Harry M. PETER H. MR. HARRY Republican Candi Twelfth Mr. Coudrey was born at Brunswick, Mo., February 28, 1867. He moved to St. Louis in 1878, where he attended the public schools, and graduated from the Manual Training School. Soon after he entered the fire insurance business, and rose rapidly to the front in his profession. He is now the leading member of the insurance firm of Harry M. Coudrey & Co., with offices in the Century building. From 1897 to 1899 Mr. Coudrey was a member of the municipal assembly, MR. AUGUST GISLER. August Gisler, republican nominee for the legislature in the Third district, is well and favorably known in St. Louis, having lived in the Fourteenth ward for more than 30 years. He has been an active hard-working republican and a member of the Twelfth district congressional committee, representing the Fourteenth ward for the past eight years. He is entitled to the loyal support of all good citizens. REV. W. D. COOK. Has Come to His Post of Duty in St. Paul's Chapel. Rev. W. D. Cook, of Jersey City, N. J., arrived in St. Louis a few days ago to take charge of St. Paul's chapel. We hope that he will be equal to the emergency. We shall do as we have in the past—be a strong supporter of the church and the minister in charge. Those wanting new fall costumes made will please call upon Mrs. R. H. Brown, now called The Newstead Avenue Dressmaker. P. H. Clarke Is a Candidate for SHERIFF OF ST. LOUIS. Regular Nominee of the Re- publican Party. and won the commendation of the public by his vigorous opposition to all boodle measures. Mr. Coudrey is well connected in the business world. He is a member of the Merchants' exchange, the Business Men's league, a director in the Commonwealth Trust Co., a member of the Loyal Legion, St. Louis University club and the St. Louis Jockey club. He has also taken more or less interest in politics, and at one time was president of the Twenty-eighth Ward Republican League club. Prof. Wood Campaigns The eastern dailies are loud in their praise of the valuable services of Prof. O. M. Wobd, who, under the direction of the national republican committee, is campaigning in the New England and middle states. Within the past ten days he has addressed an audience of more than 5,000 voters at the Union League Club of Jersey City; the Bankers' Club of Wall Street, N. Y.; the Commercial Travelers and Dry Goods Men's Association of New York, and a monster meeting of more than 10,000 at Madison Square Garden. Next week his itinerary takes him through Hartford, Norwalk and other Connecticut cities. He is accompanied by Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, and Gen. Lee Fairchild. He will leave for his professional duties in Porto Rico about November 1. We always said that Prof. Wood would come out "on top," and are glad to see our prediction realized. The Lyceum Sketch club will present the laughable comedy-drama, "Miss Amanthis," Thursday evening, November 10, at Washington-Metropolitan church, Morgan street and Jefferson avenue, for the benefit of the Colored Y. M. C. A. The following capable cast has been selected for this presentation: Mr. Brownsmith, Mr. Jas. W. Grant; Mr. Babcombe, Mr. Will S. Grant; Capt. Littlepop, Mr. Richard Hudlin; Miss Amanthis, Mr. John B. Vashon; Annie Babicombe, Miss Vella Crawford; Susan, Miss Alice Simms. Y. M. C. A. Notes. There will be an informal Hallowe'en gathering Monday evening, October 31. You are invited. Our rooms are open to visitors at all times. Drop in these cool evenings, and enjoy our magazines and games. WANTED—Every man who reads this to come to the Sundy meetings, 4:30 sharp. Good speakers, good music. New impetus has been given to our work the last two weeks by the presence of Mr. Alzaman Ira Lucas and Lieut. Loving. Both were greeted with a large attendance when they spoke. Last Sunday afternoon Rev. C. Albert Tindley, of Philadelphia, author and song writer, was the speaker. Rev Tindley is a forceful speaker, with the physique of an athlete and strong personality. He held a large audience of men for more than one hour. He gave his famous lecture, "Rise," before the Literary society Tuesday evening. The hall was well filled. We have been greatly cheered and encouraged in our work to have Dr. Tindley come and give us these stirring messages. Pickett's Headache Powders give instant relief. 2601 Lawton avenue. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1004. "Miss Amanthis." SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY One of the Best Lines South. We are confident that many of our people are looking for permanent homes, and we would suggest that they look to the great state of Texas, in order to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as follows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shiner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Gregory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skidmore to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and earliest truck-producing section in the southwest. The climate is so that the farmers raise and sell something every month in the year; in fact, it is known as the "open winter" farming country of the southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does not have to spend all he makes in the summer to keep him through the winter. It is understood that the low rate Homeseekers' tickets will continue to be on sale during November and December to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Christi, Alice, Beceville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Flocresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie and the babies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mistake when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by taking up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. (To Be Continued Next Week.) Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. A CHICAGO BELLE. Miss Madge Washington, of Chicago, Is Having a Good Time. Miss Washington, of Chicago, Ill., came to spend a short visit with her cousins of St. Louis, and left for Wellsville, Mo., where she will spend a few weeks with her grandmother. She will return on the fifth day of November to her cousins' home, 3030 Hickory street. There she will remain until she makes her departure for Chicago. She has been quite pleased with our city and well entertained. A grand reception was given in her honor by the Magnolia club girls. Also a farewell party given for her by her cousins, Misses May and Irene Robinson. We will be pleased to welcome her back to St. Louis before she returns to her home in the Windy City, and we shall endeavor to make it more pleasant for her than before. Vote For P. H. Clark for sheriff. He is all right. The Irish World that is published in New York is doing a great work. So we should support Pat H. Clark for sheriff, as their leading Irish paper in this country now stand up for our president, Theodore Roosevelt. Sam, The Tailor. At 204 North Fourteenth street is the establishment of Sam, the tailor. His business has become so that he has been compelled to enlarge his place. He now has 204 and 206, all complete and arranged in the most complete manner. Such is the business of any man that gives his customers satisfaction. Mr. Sam is what we call one of nature's gentlemen, and that has caused his success. Go and see, and get your suits for the winter. We received a letter from John G. Jones, of Chicago, Ill., stating that he is still a republican. We never doubted that. If you want full particulars printed, send along something to pay the printer. The Frisco System will carry one hundred thousand Negroes to the World's Fair. --- THE MUSEUM OF THE WEST A NOTABLE FUNCTION. Chicagoan Royally Entertained by the St. Louisans. One of the most pleasing visitors to our city lately has been Mrs. M. V. Deathage, of Chicago, who has been the guest of Miss M. E. McLeod, of 2642 Shenandoah avenue. She has also been the guest of honor at a number of social functions. Among the most notable was an "at home" on the 13th inst., given by Miss McLeod, which was unique for its many novelties. About thirty ladies were present and enjoyed themselves very much. Miss Virginia Mordical's card party was another most delightful affair. But it remained for our highly esteemed citizen, Col. Daniel McLeod, to cap the climax with a musical in honor of Mrs. Deathrage on the 20th inst., which for brilliance and beauty has never been surpassed in our city. The parlers were handsomely decorated with roses, carnations and smilax. The guests represented the beauty and intelligence of the World's fair city of 1904. The programme beggars description. It was replete with gems, musical and literary, and every number rendered would have done credit to professionals. Mrs. Deathrage's readings were the best we have heard in a long time, and it was difficult to believe we were not in the presence of a Charlotte Cushman or a Mary Anderson. Our own Prof. Usner was, as always, inimitable. As an organized talker he is without a peer. Mr. James W. Grant gave a song from the "Sultan of Sula," in his usual happy manner, that was most enthusiastically received. Miss Burnice Darkis' piano solo was beautifully rendered. Mr. William A. Wilkerson's cornet solo was another delight to the audience, also the fine baritone solo by Mr. Lorenzo Harris. Mr. James H. Harris, the violinist gave a solo, "Facts and Fiction," by Wisert, which was perfection. The audience was entranced and for an encore he gave "Mazurka de Concert" by Musini, which charmed and captivated everyone and for brilliance of execution was hard to surpass. Among those present were: Rev. C. M. Mason, Prof. Peter H. Clark, Dr. and Mrs. T. A. Curtis, Dr. J. P. Curtis, Dr. Arthur, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Langston, Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. John J. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. J. Gossin, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Usher, Mr. and Mrs. Hoffmann, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Dodge, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

The third annual farmers' convention will be held at Lincoln Institute, Friday, November 4. Not one of the many innovations for good introduced during the administration of Dr. B. F. Allen can become of more practical value to the Negroes of the state of Missouri, and the surrounding section, than such a convention, provided that the thinking men and women of various communities will take hold of the matter and by their presence and influence, added to words and deeds of encouragement, will aid a movement that, in the present state of the Negro financially and otherwise consid- --- $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. mber 8, 1904 BISHOP A.

During the third annual farmers' convention held in connection with Lincoln institute, many important phases of the industrial problem as influenced by agriculture, and as affecting the best interests of the Negro, will be discussed; and it is hoped that the practical results will be numerous and wide-spread. Come one, come all, November 4. Nore.—The following article has been widely published and is one of the most remarkable illustrations of the value of careful marshalling and analysis of facts in presenting a subject to the public. LEVELERS The Mission of Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee. The Creator made all things, we believe. If so, He must have made these. We know what He made food and water for, and air and sunshine, but why Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee? They are here sure enough and each performing its work. There must be some great plan behind it all; the thoughtful man seeks to understand something of that plan and thereby to judge these articles for their true worth. Let us not say "bad" or "good" without taking testimony. There are times and conditions when it certainly seems to the casual observer that these stimulant narcotics are real blessings. Right there is the ambush that conceals a "killing" enemy. One can slip into the habit of either whiskey, tobacco or coffee easy enough, but to "untangle" is often a fearful struggle. It seems plain that there are circumstances when the narcotic effect of these poisons is for the moment beneficial, but the fearful argument against them is that seldom ever does one find a steady user of either whiskey, coffee or tobacco free from disease of some kind. Certainly powerful elements in their effect on the human race. It is a matter of daily history testified to by literally millions of people that Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee are smiling, promising, beguiling friends on the start, but always false as hell itself in the end. Once they get firm hold enough to show their strength, they insist upon governing and drive the victim steadily towards ill health in some form; if permitted to continue to rule, they will not let up until physical and mental ruin sets in. A man under that spell (and "under the spell" is correct) of any one of these drugs frequently assures himself and his friends: "Why, I can leave off any time I want to. I did quit for a week just to show I could." It is a sure mark of the slave when one gets to that stage. He wiggled through a week fighting every day to break the spell, was finally whipped and began his slavery all over again. The slave (Coffee slave as well as Tobacco and Whiskey) daily reviews his condition, sees perfectly plain the steady encroachments of disease, how the nerves get weaker day by day and demand the drug that seems to smile and offer relief for a few minutes and then leave the diseased condition plainer to view than ever and growing worse. Many times the Coffee slave realizes that he is between two fires. He feels bad if he leaves off and a little worse if he drinks and allows the effect to wear off. So it goes on from day to day. Every night the struggling victim promises himself that he will break the habit and next day when he feels a little bad (as he is quite sure to) breaks, not the habit, but his own resolution. It is nearly always a tough fight, with disaster ahead sure if the habit wins. There have been hundreds of thousands of people driven to their graves through disease brought on by coffee drinking alone, and it is quite certain that more human misery is caused by coffee and tobacco than by whiskey, for the two first are more widely used, and more hidden and insidious in the effect on nerves, heart and other vital organs, and are thus unsuspected until much of the dangerous work is done. Now, Reader, what is your opinion as to the real use the Creator has for these things? Take a look at the question from this point of view. There is a law of Nature and of Nature's God that things slowly evolve from lower planes to higher, a sturdy, steady and dignified advance toward more perfect things in both the Physical and Spiritual world. The ponderous tread of evolutionary development is fixed by the Infinite and will not be quickened out of natural law by any of man's methods. Therefore we see many illustrations showing how nature checks too rapid advance, Illinois raises phenomenal crops of corn for two or three years. If she continued to do so every year her farmers would advance in wealth far beyond those of other sections or countries. So Nature interposes a bar every three or four years and brings on a "bad year." Here we see the leveling influence at Here we see the leveling influence at work. A man is prosperous in his business for a number of years and grows rich. Then Nature sets the "leveling influence" at work on him. Some of his investments lose, he becomes luxurious and lazy. Perhaps it is whiskey, tobacco, coffee, women, gambling, or some other form. The intent and purpose is to level him. Keep him from evolving too far ahead of the masses. A nation becomes prosperous and great like ancient Rome. If no leveling influence set in she would dominate the world perhaps for all time. But Dame Nature sets her army of "levelers" at work. Luxury, over-eating and drinking, licentiousness, waste and extravagance, indulgences of all kinds, then comes the wreck. Sure, Sure, Sure. The law of the unit is the law of the mass. Man goes through the same process. Weakness (in childhood), gradual growth of strength, energy, thrift, probity, prosperity, wealth, comfort, ease, relaxation, self-indulgence, luxury, idleness, waste, debauchery, disease, and the wreck follows. The "levelers" are in the bushes along the pathway of every successful man and woman and they bag the majority. Only now and then can a man stand out against these "levelers" and hold his fortune, fame and health to the end. So the Creator has use for Whiskey, Tobacco and Coffee to level down the successful ones and those who show signs of being successful, and keep them back in the race, so that the great "field" (the masses) may not be left too far behind. And yet we must admit that same all wise Creator has placed it in the power of man to stand upright, clothed in the armor of a clean cut steady mind and say unto himself, "I decline to exchange my birthright for a mess of potage." "I will not deaden my senses, weaken my grip on affairs and keep myself cheap, common and behind in fortune and fame by drugging with whiskey, tobacco or coffee, life is too short. It is hard enough to win the good things, without any sort of handicap, so a man is certainly a 'fool trader' when he trades strength, health, money, and the good things that come with power, for the half-asleep condition of the 'druger' with the certainty of sickness and disease ahead." It is a matter each individual must decide for himself. He can be a leader and seml-god if he will, or he can go along through life a drugged clown, a cheap 'hewer of wood or carrier of water.' Certain it is that while the Great Father of us all does not seem to "mind" if some of his children are foolish and stupid, he seems to select others (perhaps those he intends for some special work) and allows them to be threshed and castigated most fearfully by these "levelers." If a man tries flirting with these levelers awhile, and gets a few slaps as a hint, he had better take the hint or a good solid blow will follow. When a man tries to live upright, clean, thrifty, sober, and undrugged, manifesting as near as he knows what the Creator intends he should, happiness, health and peace seem to come to him. Does it nav? This article was written to set people thinking, to reuse the "God within" for every highly organized man and woman has times when they feel a something calling from within for them to press to the face, "and be about the Father's business," don't mistake it; the spark of the Infinite is there and it pays in every way, health, happiness, peace, and even worldly prosperity, to break off the habits and strip clean for the work cut out for us. It has been the business of the writer to provide a practical and easy way for people to break away from the coffee habit and be assured of a return to health and all of the good things that brings, provided the abuse has not gone too far, and even then the cases where the body has been rebuilt on a basis of strength and health run into the thousands. It is an easy and comfortable step to stop coffee instantly by having well-made Postum Food Coffee served rich and hot with good cream, for the color and flavor is there, but none of the caffeine or other nerve-destroying elements of ordinary coffee. On the contrary the most powerful rebuilding elements furnished by Nature are in Postum and they quickly set about repairing the damage. Seldom it is more than 2 days after the change is made before the old stomach or bowel troubles or complaints of kidneys, heart, head or nerves show unmistakable evidence of getting better and ten days time changes things wonderfully. Literally millions of brain-working Americans today use Postum, having found the value and common sense in the change. C. W. POST. TALKS WITHOUT TONGUE. Robbed of Organ by Surgical Operation, New Jersey Man Articulates Better Than Before. Tongueless, yet able to talk better than when in possession of his organ of speech—that is the remarkable condition of William Bunting, a wealthy bachelor of Elmer, N. J., who received treatment recently in Philadelphia. Mr. Bunting came to the Hahnemann hospital to have his throat treated for what he believed to be inflammation, caused by a severe cold. Upon investigation the doctors found the disease to be much more serious than the patient had suspected, and that in order to save his life his tongue must be removed. It was swollen to twice its normal size, so that Mr. Bunting was unable to articulate plainly. After the operation the first words the patient spoke, "Is it all over?" were the plainest he had spoken since his trouble began, several years ago. Those in attendance were able to understand everything he said. Wrong Department. A prominent physician tells this story at the expense of the modern craze for specialization in the medical profession. A poor woman went to a dispensary to ask for aid for her little son, who had had one of his fingers smashed. At the first room where she applied she was told by a curt attendant that the boy could not be treated there. "Wrong place," he explained, "this is the eye and ear department." "Vere is der thumb and finger department?" inquired the woman, simply.—Tit-Bits. Where the Sin Lav. A rather plain lady asked the opinion of her minister: "Is it a sin to feel a trifle of vanity when I am called handsome by a gentleman?" "Not a sin for you, my child, but a terrible responsibility hangs upon the gentleman." - Tit-Bits. Not Too Fast. Mrs. Weeds—I suppose the law in this state gives the widow her third. Lawyer—Oh! yes; but you've got to get rid of your second first.—Chicago Journal BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. 69 MILITARY AIR FORCE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE THE DOOR OF HOPE. I can not consent to take the position that the door of hope—the door of opportunity—is to be shut upon any man, no matter how worthy, purely upon the grounds of race or color.—President Roosevelt. Parker is already defeated, and he knows it. Theodore Roosevelt will be our next president. Democrats make a specialty of warmed-over issues. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. Let us republicans get together and vote the straight ticket. Elections in the southern democratic states are huge swindles. Vote for Col. Walbridge and the entire state and city ticket. Bryan's tour of Indiana will make many votes—for Roosevelt. If you believe in honest politics vote the republican ticket straight. The Afro-American are with Roosevelt because he is with them. Backward glances into history bring no joy to the democratic heart. Those who want freedom from work may obtain it by voting for Parker. President Roosevelt has the people with him and that's why he'll win. When you cast your vote, let it be for the party that gave you a ballot. "The republican party is the ship; all else the sea."—Frederick Douglass. Lincoln would be sorry he said anything, if he could hear Tillman quote him. Let the republicans get together in Missouri, for the victory is ours if managed right. Remember what the Democratic legislature tried to do in Missouri at the last session. The democrats are looking for a The democrats are looking for a campaign motto. "Parker and Planks" ought to fit. Vote the entire republican ticket. Don't forget that your interest is in that ballot. ____ Taggart is earnestly advised by his party to go west and grow up with the campaign. William Cross is a staunch republican and he is putting in hard licks for the party. Prof. C. G. Williams, of Boonville, Mo., and committeeman-at-large, is working hard. All the rights and benefits the Negro now enjoy come through the Republican party. If Parker is elected wages will go down. Remember that, Afro-American working people. Democrats will get farther when the voters decide to weigh promises instead of records. Every law that has been enacted against Negro manhood was by the Democratic party. Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Afro-Americans. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. The betting men in New York know a thing or two—they are now offering 10 to 4 on Roosevelt. The buttons of the Maryland Parker and Davis clubs bear the legend, "The White Man Must Rule." In every state where the Negro has been disfranchised it was done by a Democratic legislature. There are ten Afro-American officers in the United States army under the Roosevelt administration. The democratic party announces its good intentions. The republican party refers to its good deeds. We should rely upon the strong common sense of the people to rebuke the democracy at the polls. Prof. J. H. Pelham, of Hannibal, Mo., is taking an active part in politivs for Roosevelt and Walbridge. A vote for Roosevelt is a vote to sustain the principles of human liberty for which he stands. Party principles have not changed. The democratic party is the same today as it was before the war. Under the Roosevelt administration there are 13 Afro-Americans in the diplomatic and consular service. It is hardly necessary to nail this year's campaign lies. They come to grief of themselves, like lost kites. Democratic assailants of the president are learning something new about the possibilities of the boomerang. Are the Parker constitutional clubs trying to study out a way to revise the constitution on the Mississippi plan? The democratic party is getting itself into a hole which is unlike a woodchuck's in not having two ends. No party can reform itself. The reformation can only be made by Col. Walbridge and the republican party. The Democrats declare against imperialism in the Philippines, but are silent on mob barbarism in America. Roosevelt will not close the door of hope and prosperity against the Negro. Why? Because he is a Republican. When the chilly days of November come, cover Parker out of sight by your votes for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Mr. Chas. Covington is making a hard fight for the success of the republican party. The old fellow is now in line. T. H. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. We are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Lincoln approached his.—President Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance. The southern democrats always dominate in the national democracy. Pitchfork Tillman would rule in case of Parker's election. No party can reform itself. There are some good democrats, but none good enough for a Negro to vote for against our candidates. The Afro-American people know too well what democratic success means to be beguiled by the smooth talk of the democratic spellbinders. And now they are saying that the peace proposal was ill-timed. That will not hurt the candidacy of the foreign delegates who made it. In the Philippines the Republicans are showing what they have done with conditions. The Democrats are still wrestling with a theory. We admit that there are bad Republicans in the party, but the principle of the Republicans are not affected by these vultures. There are 1,891 Afro-Americans employed by the district government at Washington, D. C., and their salaries aggregate about $850,000. "I do not think that the Negro should be permitted to participate in the government of the nation."—Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi. Western democrats insist that Hill and Wall street nominated Parker, and they propose to let Hill and Wall street see if they can elect him. It requires a high grade of nerve to ask the country to get enthusiastic over a neophile statesman, an octogenarian and a nondescript platform. However good an individual democrat is, when he is elected he can not do anything for the Negro. Why? Because his party rules him. The first business of democratic managers in each campaign is the selection of hisses for the men who led the party four years before. Do not be overconfident. It takes votes to win an election. See that your friends and neighbors register and vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Democrats always dom- national democracy. It would rule in case reform itself.

Parker is said to he would tell what keep his courage up nerve tonic adverti body. Personalities should not enter into the campaign, and it is not right to refer to Judge Parker as the "Belmont entry" in the presidential race. Forty-four years ago three million and a half of Negroes were slaves. Today they are free. Who did it? Of course the Republican party. The Afro-American has everything to gain by the triumph of the republican party—the party which stands for freedom and human rights. No victory was ever won without a battle; remember that, and fight for Roosevelt and Fairbanks from now until the polls close November 8. Black men, before you vote the democratic ticket, remember that the people who burn your brothers at the stake in the south are democrats. In the department of commerce and labor at Washington 125 Afro-Americans are employed, and they receive $78,856 in salaries every year. One of the embarrassing features of the campaign is that every time a democratic leader shoots off his mouth he perforates some other Democrat. as ago three million troops were slaves. Toe.

Coudrey, who is one of the most perfect gentlemen in St. Louis. Every man should work and vote for Mr. Coudrey. --- The 596 Afro-Americans employed by the United States treasury department draw salaries aggregating $391,834 per annum. The government printing office at Washington, D. C., employs 320 Afro-Americans and they earn $210,874 every year. Afro-Americans in close congressional districts should work hard to elect congressmen. We cannot afford to lose a single district. The Macon Telegraph says: "The white South is determined to govern its own without the consent or participation of the black South." The Democratic speakers are garbling President Roosevelt's words in a desperate attempt to make it appear that he advocated lynch law. President Roosevelt has handled the reins of government in a masterly manner. The people are satisfied, and he will be elected in November. If John Sharp Williams, as campaign censor, ever tries to edit one of Cleveland's speeches, he will know how it feels to be hit by a thousand of brick. Kansas banks have $100,000,000 on Deposit, almost as much as the amount of mortgage foreclosures in the State during the last Democratic administration. The Irish World that is published is making a very strong fight for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. P. H. Clark is an Irishman, and we must elect him for sheriff. We believe that the best men should be put in lead. The Palladium stands for Charles Turner. We have been friends for years, and we know his worth. The American people have a substratum of good sense, and although they may listen to the democratic speakers, they will vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Careful perusal of Democratic speeches this year fails to disclose any inspired orator who is claiming that wheat and silver always maintain a parity. Parker is said to be optimistic. If he would tell what he is taking to keep his courage who it would be a good nerve tonic advertisement for somebody. The Afro-Americans will never turn from the republican party and go over to the Democrats who are daily murdering the people of their race in the south. It is fortunate in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people that a man with the courage and humanity of Roosevelt is president. If Parker should, by some inscrutable act of providence, happen to be elected president, there would be dark days ahead for the dark people of this country. "Rally Around the Flag, Boys," we'll defend it with our lives against the attacks of Tillman, Vardaman, Graves & Co., and all the anarchists they can marshal. In New Orleans last week a Caucasian killed an Afro-American in cold blood. The Picayune referred to the matter as "an unfortunate accident." The Picayune is a democratic paper. At a recent Democratic meeting one speaker declared: "The 'nigger' has no more right to the ballot than a two-year-old child has with a pistol." That's straight Democratic doctrine. The Palladium man is and has been for Col. Walbridge for 20 years. Turner & Wheeler are well acquainted with Col. Walbridge, and we know his worth. Under the Roosevelt administration there are more than 5,000 Afro-Americans in the public service of the country, and they receive about $3,000,000 in salaries. There is a hotel in the Berkshires where the visitors are not required to register. Judge Parker's friends ought to move that hotel to New York for his benefit. No Democratic orator, not even Bourke Cockran, has revived that old cry "the tafft is a tax" which at one time deceived the voters of the nation, to their sorrow. Knox getting an audience of 20,000 in Philadelphia while John Sharp Williams talks to empty benches in Brooklyn is a cheering sight for the democratic spryglass. Having made numerous allusions to the "martyred McKinley," Judge Parker proceeds to dissect the martyred president's last speech and use it to further free trade. As soon as McKinley was elected in 1896 confidence was restored, and we have had prosperity ever since. Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and let the good times continue. If by garbled quotations from the speeches of McKinley, Parker expects to slip into that leader's shoes, he is respectfully informed that those shoes do not fit democratic Teet. The colleges for the education of Afro-American youth in the south are crowded with students. Roosevelt prosperity has enabled parents to send their children off to school. No party can reform itself. We call upon the 50,000 Negro voters to see to it that each man is voted on November 8th. With C. P. Walbridge in the executive mansion. David B. Hill announces his intention to retire from politics and public life on January 1. He is determined, apparently, to stay a couple of months longer than Parker and Davis. From now until 8 o'clock at night on the 8th of November next let every Negro work for Roosevelt, Fairbanks, Walbridge, McKinley and the entire city ticket. Victory will be ours. Parker has little to say, but if elected, his acts will be in accord with the wishes of the men who made him a presidential possibility, and these men are all against the Afro-American. Fifty Japanese families have settled in Louisiana, where they will start rice farms. They were welcomed by the local, democrats, who are great admirers of colored men—from the orient. The Democratic plea that the country needs "a change" might be more effective if the country did not remember the disastrous results that followed the last trial of Democratic theories. The Afro-American can never be charged with ingratitude. He realizes what the Republican party has done for him and will stand by the party in this campaign as he has done in the past. Anyone having a recipe for keeping a lot of Miss Democracy's fool friends off the stump this year can do well by opening negotiations with Tom Taggart, chairman of the national committee. The southern democratic oligarchy delights to honor Vardaman, Tillman, Jeff, Davis, of Arkansas, and others of their like, whose stock in trade is their hostility to the Afro-American people. Maryland is normally republican, and in spite of their unfair election law, which aims to disfranchise all Afro-Americans, the state will give a good majority to Roosevelt and Fairbanks. It is anounced that Senator Tillman and Governor Vardaman are both going to make speeches in the North. It is difficult to understand what the Republicans have done to deserve such luck. Hon. J. Milton Turned, ex-minister to Liberia, who has been a democrat for many years, has returned to the republican fold. Turner says there is no place in the democratic party for the black man. Senator Davis compares present expenditures with those under Buchanan. Would Senator Davis bring about the industrial and financial conditions under which Buchanan wrote his famous message in 1857? The democratic party has never had any fixed principles or policies. It has ever been the blind instrument of every bad element that might for the time being be uppermost or seem to promise party success. Judge Parker has made it plain, in a letter over his own signature, that a vote for him is an endorsement of Erving Winslow and the group pof malcontents in Boston who favor a scuttle policy in the Phillipines. President Roosevelt declares that it is cowardly to shrink from the problems that have been developed in the Philippines. The Democrats condemn the President for refusing to be a coward. The blood of thousands of innocent Afro-Americans is upon Senator Tillman. He has boasted in the United States senate that the democrats of South Carolina have butchered black men for attempting to vote. The South Dakota democratic convention indorsed Parker and adopted resolutions renewing its allegiance to W. J. Bryan and his platform principles. In other words, South Dakota democrats are for Parker and silver. It took all Judge Parker's judicial ingenuity to dig out passages from McKinley's speech to use in an argument against protection, and then he had to do it by chopping sentences in two. The democrats are making great capital of the president's quotation of the old proverb, "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Thus far they are bawling loudly and carrying a wooden candidate. The progress of the Afro-American people in 30 years of freedom has been greater than that of any other race recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican party. The democratics are using the alleged woes of the Filipinos just now during the campaign, but when the election is over they'll have no more use for the brown man of the orient than they now have for the black men of America. There are more than 15,000 Afro-American private soldiers in the Spanish-American war. They served under Afro-American officers commissioned by a republican president.—William McKinley. The democratics of the south say that the Afro-American is unfit to travel in first-class cars, and they have passed cars for his accommodation. No republican legislature has ever passed a laws providing special "Jim Crow" separate car law. Now is the time for every man to come to the front as we see plainly what the object of the democrats is in the south. They are at present beginning to annul the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments of the constitution. Any Negro who respects his wife, mother or sister should think twice in this election. Many of the men who wore tin roosters upon their hates in 1892, and then wore Cleveland patches upon the seats of their breeches for four years, voted for McKinley in 1896 and 1900, and they'll vote for Roosevelt this year. In South Carolina in 1900, nearly all of the votes cast were counted for Tillman's man Bryan. The Afro-Americans were not allowed to poll ten percent of their voting strength. That's Tillman's idea of the "consent of the governed." For a candidate preaching purity and constitutionalism, Judge Parker has got the most extraordinary lot of reformers together—David B. Hill representing purity in politics, Arthur Pue Gorman representing straight elections, and John Sharp Williams defending the constitution, all except the last few paragraphs. "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unfit for president if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected president by those who would close the door of hope against the Afro-American as a citizen. If I am elected to this high office, it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations."—President Roosevelt. We have known C. P. Walbridge for the past twenty-five years, always as a true, unfinching republican. During all that time we have never had cause to doubt his republicanism nor his worth as a business man. Long before he ever held a political office he displayed his worth as a true friend. Walbridge was president of the city council and was just and upright to all, regardless of color. When he was elected mayor of our city his administration was clear and business-like, and under his reign there were more Negroes employed then ever since. Let the republicans gather together and stand for the whole ticket. Hon. C. P. Walbridge Stands for a Clean, Just Government for all the People. "I know of the bravery and character of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago. I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry came rushing up the hill, carrying everything before them. The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he came 400,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union."-President Roosevelt. 7 THE TICKET. Governor—Cyrus P. Walbridge of St. Louis. Lieutenant Governor—John C. Mc- Kinley of Putnam county. Treasurer—Jacob F. Gmelich of Cooper county. Secretary of State—John E. Swanger of Sullivan county. Auditor—W. W. Wilder of Cape Girardeau county. Attorney General—Herbert S. Hadley of Jackson county. Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner—F. A. Wightman of Lawrence county. Parker and Davis clubs are being formed in Mississippi. Now that the Afro-Americans have been disfranchised and few white Republican votes are counted the reason for such political activity is not clear to the average mind. Mr. Hiram Lloyd, chairman of the Twelfth congressional committee, has mapped out the work for the next seven days, and this district will be thoroughly worked, and if Mr. Coudrey is not elected it will be no fault of this young republican leader. Hon. Charles Nagle, Col. Walbridge and Chairman Niedringhaus have known the worth of Charles Turner. J. W. Wheeler has canvassed the state with him and let him be placed in charge of all that pertains to the Negro—as he and they are well acquainted with Aunt Hager's children. John Temple Graves, the Democratic editor of the Democratic Atlanta News, in a leading editorial defends lynching and advocates the revival of the Ku Klux Klan for terrorizing the Afro-Americans of the South. John is an important cog in the Democratic machine, and he openly advocates what many of his compatriots have practiced secretly for years. Parker overlooks the deplorable condition of the Afro-American people in this country. He forgets that thousands are slaughtered in cold blood every year because they dare exercise their rights as free men, but looks across the deep blue sea at the Filipinos, ten thousand miles away, and pretends that he wishes to secure for those brown people the liberties his party denies black people in America. Says the Charleston News and Courier: "We have abiding faith in the recognition by our northern brethren of the fact that the Anglo-Saxon race is entitled to run this country." There are many people in this country who are not Anglo-Saxons, such as the Germans, French, Scandinavians, Irish, Bohemians, Hungarians, Italians, Spanish and other nationalities. Everywhere they assist the Anglo-Saxon in "running" the country, and in many of the large cities and some of the states they have relieved him of his burden of ruling. Reports from Indiana say that George L. Knox, of the Freeman, will enter the race as an independent candidate for congress for the purpose of defeating Congressman Overstreet, against whom he has a grievance. There is no chance for Mr. Knox's election. He can do the cause of his race no good, but much harm may result if he stays in the fight. If he is interested in upholding President Boosevelt's policy of giving the Afro-American a square deal, Mr. Knox ought to withdraw. Be good, Brother Knox, and get off the track. "We would not withhold from the Negro any of his 'rights,' but we do not regard the rights of suffrage as one of his rights, or as being essential in any way to the protection of his life or property, or to his pursuit of happiness."—Charleston News and Courier, the leading democratic paper of South Carolina. THE TICKET. Circuit Judges—William M. Kinsey, Matt G. Raynolds, D. D. Fisher, William Zachritz and James E. Withrow. Circuit Attorney—Arthur N. Sager. Assistant Circuit Attorney—R. M. Johnson. There are 188 Afro-Americans employed in the post office at New York city, and they receive $153,982 annually for their services. They are working under the Roosevelt civil service. While such fellows as Tillman and Jeff Davis are raving over "social equality," and breathing out threatenings and slaughter, it is noticeable that their candidates, Parker and Davis, completely ignore the issue. In opening the campaign in Chicago, Senator Tillman said: "I feel full of devilment, and I want to throw a few chunks of hell fire in your direction." The remark was substantiated by the remainder of his harangue on the race question. John Temple Graves is out in an open letter, in which he says: "I am not and I never have been an advocate of lynching." John ought to issue a "key" to his editorial page so people would be able to figure out where he really stands. Silver-tongued Col. George A. Knight, of California, says there really isn't any use telling the American people what they have already made up their mind to do. "I look upon Roosevelt as a man who is as good as elected to the presidency, and all the speeches of all the politicians will not affect the verdict." The Afro-Americans who call themselves democrats ought to do like the Alabama heroes at the Huntsville lynching: that is hide under the beds and in the closets. They may rest assured that the white democrats are not such tools as to not see through their toadying and flunkeying. They are democrats for revenue only, and everybody knows it. H. M. Porter, an Afro-American, has been nominated for congress in Hardwick's Georgia district. Hardwick is the man who is working to have the fifteenth amendment repealed. It's a pity that there is no chance for Porter's election, as the democrats would count him out even if he had a majority of the votes. At the Episcopal general convention at Boston, J. J. Stotzenberg, of New Albany, Ind., a good friend of the race, introduced a resolution condemning lynching. The southern democratic delegates opposed it, and J. C. Buxton, of North Carolina, moved that it be laid on the table. This was defeated, and the resolution referred to a special committee. In their published utterances, neither Parker nor Davis make the remotest allusion to the important issue of "social equality" which has been raised by Tillman, Vardaman, Jeff Davis & Co.; and it is a well-known fact that Candidate Davis has for a son-in-law Mr. Elkins, a republican of the most stalwart type. We are surprised to observe the fact that T., V., J. D. & Co. have not cross-questioned their candidates in respect to this matter. If ever there was a time for the Negroes of Missouri to stand together for the state and city this is the time, with Walbridge to the last man on the ticket. If this is done, the republicans will sweep the state and city. Let the Negroes remember that our candidates represent a political principle that guarantees to us equal rights before the law. As Col. Walbridge is imbued with these principles, we know he will be fair to our race, as he has been in the past. No party can reform itself. If Folk should be seated as governor, he would only be the tool in the hands of the political ring at Jefferson City. No party can reform itself. The entire vote was given to Mr. Hawes as delegate to the state convention, so says Folk, through fraud and intimidation. Folk says that Mr. Hawes was not a democrat and Hawes would resort to anything to carry the city with the police. Now Folk and Hawes are as the Siamese twins—almost inseparable—both these extremes now lie down together. Politics make strange bed fellows. No party can reform itself. When George L. Knox, the manager of the Freeman's Journal, made a speech in St. Paul chapel, 2800 Lawton avenue, St. Louis, Mo., we then said he was bordering on insanity and democracy. Now you see the result. The many subscribers to the Freeman's Journal can now see where this old gray-headed sire would lead them—into the Democratic ranks. The Pal- ROOSEVELT FAIRBANKS Our President and Vice-President FAIRBANKS PAYS TRIBUTE TO WALBRIDGE. Hannibal, Mo., October 26.—Early in his speech here this evening Mr. Fairbanks said: "You have a candidate for Governor in this state upon the Republican ticket who is a personal friend of mine; a man of splendid business ability, of clear head and sound heart—a man who would make a Governor of which any state might well be proud.(Applause) You can do well, my friends, by contributing to the general Republican success through the country, and make Republican success in state of Missouri certain, by the triumphant election of C. P. WALBRIDGE, your candidate for governor. His election as governor of Missouri means to strengthen the Republican cause." (Applause.) ladium man fought Richard Bartholdt, congressman of the Tenth district, St. Louis, Mo.; but when he got the nomination we stopped, recognizing that the party judgment was better than ours. We do not say, Brother Knox, get off the track. We say, let him stand, let the result be what it will in that district. But after November 8 there is a recount. Then place him where he belongs. Any man that can forget so soon who made him a man and gave him the privileges which he now turns his back on, ought to be branded with the mark of Calin. We know that Brother Knox can now sing the song, let the result be as it may, "I got mine, boys, I got mine." ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN'S SPEECH STIRS STATE. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 5.—The bitterness and radical views announced by Congressman Heflin in the first speech of his campaign at Tuskegee have caused a sensation in Alabama. At the home of Booker T. Washington he denounced the Negro educator, coupling his name with that of Roosevelt and Mr. Walker, the republican candidate for congress against Mr. Heflin. He described his republican opponent "as a black and tan serpent, hissing at the feet of honest democrats." He gave utterance to extremely radical views on the Negro question; declared that Booker T. Washington was behind the candidacy of his opponent, saying it was an insult to the district. "If Booker takes a hand in this thing," said the congressman, "it will be one time I will ask him to step out, and will ask him to 'hands off,' and you know we have a way of influencing Negroes down here in this country when it becomes necessary." Referring to Washington dining with Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Heflin said: "There they sat, Roosevelt and Booker, and if some Czolgosz or one of his kind had thrown a bomb under the table no great harm would have been done the country." Here we have a man who is a candidate for congress who stands and urges the people to assassinate the president of the United States. They may disfranchise the Negro in the south, but if such hot-headed men as Heflin, Tillman, Graves and Vardaman keep up this talk it will involve this country in another civil war for the rights of men, the constitution and the flag. They will find 10,000,000 Negroes that will march to the front to protect the country, flag and the president of the United States. Let him be a republican or a democrat, they will find the Negroes like the Ninth and Tenth cavalry—they will die rather than see our president assassinated. If Heflin was in Mexico, or any other country besides America, he would be tried for threats against the rulers of the country and shot like a ccpmon dog. The Campaign is Waxing Warm. Not since the campaign of 1896 has the state been so worked up. When Chaucey L. Filley was chairman of the state committee, Mr. Thomas K. Niedringhaus learned politics from that gentleman, and he now goes forth with that knowledge and his own to the work in hand, and he is making Rome howl every week. If Mr. Walbridge is not elected it will not be the fault of the chairman of the state committee. For Congress of the Twelfth District. We have known Mr. Harry Coudrey since 1897, when he was a member of the house of delegates, and the writer sergeant-at-arms from 1897 to 1899. Mr. Coudrey is one of nature's gentlemen, a man worthy of the support of every man, let him be democrat or republican. For two years we had the pleasure of studying men in office. In Mr. Coudrey you have a man that will reflect credit upon the Twelfth district, so work and vote for Mr. Harry M. Coudrey for congress. HENRY CLAY. A Great Picture of Henry Clay Speak- ing on the Missouri Compromise. J. W. Wheeler, the ex-politician, has just received an oil painting of the United States senate as Henry Clay made his famous speech on the Missouri compromise in 1850.

Davis Will Not Eat With Negro, But Will Drink With Him. t is Always Well to Consider the Source of an Insult--Hound Pup and Hog. Gov. Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, the biggest hot air merchant in the Mississippi valley, has been trying to attain some more cheap notoriety lately, commenting on which the State Republican, published at Little Rock, says editorially. Gov. Davis, in an address at Dallas, Tex., last week, gave utterance to this classic sentiment: "Can you think of anything dirtier, nastier, than eating with a nigger? I would rather eat out of a trough with a hog than to eat with a nigger. I would rather drink pot liquor out of a pot with a hound pup than eat with a nigger." No one doubts for a minute that Gov. Davis would hesitate to disgrace the pup and the hog on as slight a provocation as he intimates. Perhaps Jeff's blue speckled dog, "Old Lead," could tell many a story in corroboration of the governor's statement, if he were only endowed with the power of speech. But why does the governor's fit aesthetic sense, which prompts him to eat with a hog rather than a Negro, permit him to hold high carnival with his Colored brother and drink liquor from the same bottle with him? Is there any difference, Gov. Davis, judging by your standard, between eating with a Negro, in order to allay hunger, and drinking with him, in a social way, from the mouth of the same bottle? Even your own fine sense of propriety should say that the difference is in favor of the former. And yet the governor's own actions have belied his Dallas statement. The liquor drinking incident we refer to is too fresh in the minds of the Arkansas public to need repeating. As a matter of fact, Gov. Davis' sensibilities as to the negro question are much blunter than he would have the people believe. His object in making such senseless utterances as he was delivered of at Dallas was to continue a notoriety for which he is as proud as his state is ashamed. The Democrats of Arkansas made the law by which Gov. Davis counted himself in at the last election, and their sin has found them out. Whenever Davis leaves Little Rock the people remain in suspense until his return, wondering what new disgrace he will bring upon them. The only way that Arkansas can prevent her buffoon governor from continuing his spectacular and shame-breeding antics is to keep him chained up at home and under the eye of a competent keeper. 204-206 N.

President Roosevelt Lauds Valor of Afro-Americans. The Negro Soldiers Have the Faculty of Coming to the Front When Most Needed. In 1900, when Theodore Roosevelt was governor of New York, he was interviewed about the Afro-American soldier and this is what he said: "I know of the character and bravery of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the Ninth and Tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill carrying everything before them. "The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the civil war he came 200,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union. He has done excellent work in all of the Indian campaigns, and while I was in the West; I had a number of opportunities of witnessing his wonderful work. He saved a massacre of the Seventh in 1890." "At San Juan hill the Afro-American soldiers rendered an 'object lesson to all of the soldiers assembled there. They sang and fought and pushed the laggard troopers up the hill and the great victory at that point was theirs as much if not more than any of the soldiers there." Mr. John Sneed Will Help. We were speaking about securing some good place to rent for a Sunday school where we will soon have a church. Mr. John Sneed says, "I am with you and you can depend on me for a part of the rent.'

Missouri State Gleanings. Crazed by Drugs, Dr. M. F. Weyman Threw Away Gold and Silver in St. Joseph. Dr. M. F. Weyman, for years prominent in professional and business circles of St. Joseph, was committed to the state hospital for insane in that city, after an exciting scene. He engaged a livery rig and drove rapidly down South Sixth from Felix street, scattering handfuls of gold and silver coins to pedestrians. He was pursued by policemen, who effected his capture. Dr. Weyman threw away about $2,000. He became violently insane from the use of drugs. Miss Edith Hinnen, member of an old and well-known family of St. Joseph, was found dead in the office of Dr. Weyman several months ago with a bullet wound in her heart. Dr. Weyman alleged that she committed suicide. Wounded Horse a Suicide. Leonard L. Davidson, a left-handed St. Louis policeman; was sent out to kill an injured horse. After he had shot at the animal, the horse arose and went to the grocery of John J. O'Neil. There it broke a plate-glass window, and sawed its neck on the jagged glass until it died from loss of blood.

Prosecuting Attorney Frank S. Miller, in behalf of Linvingston county, has filed suit in the circuit court against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad for $65,000. The suit grows out of the removal of the Milwaukee division point from Chillicothe. Mr. Miller asks for the return of $7,000 contributed by the citizens of Chillicothe to the Milwaukee company for the establishment of a division point here in 1887, with interest on this sum, amounting all together to $15,000; for the imposing of a penalty of $1,000 a day for 50 days for the removal of the division in violation of the company's contract, the $50,000 to go to the benefit of Livingston county's school fund. This is believed to be the first suit ever filed under the statute which makes it a penalty for a railroad to remove a division point from a city after it has accepted a bonus for locating it there.

(@) The Plot y. 8, “Took counsel with his servants.” The wicked plotting against God’s children. Ps, 37:12; 110:5. Syria in her persistent effort to en- trap and crush Israel is typical of the devil. Paul speaks of the snares of the devil, 1 Tim. 2:7 and 2 Tim. 2:28, and Peter describes the devil as a roaring lidn, 1 Pet. 5:8. The prayer of David, Ps. 27:11, should be our prayer. (2) ‘the Plot Revealed, v. 9—God, from whom nothing can be hid (Jer. 23:24), Who seeth the things done in secret (Ps. 44:21 and 94:11), Who never slumbers or sleeps (Ps. 121:4), revealed the plottings of Syria's king to Blisha, and tho latter was thus able to preserve Israel against a most powerful and crafty enemy. “The man of God”—a type of the Christ in | His watchea:> and faith{uincss _to- wards Israel. Christ in His relations 0 His disciples performs evca a more perfect service. Jesus knows all the | perils that threaten us, cb. 4:15. “Sent unto the King of Isiacl.” Eli- sha sent to the king, but J:zus comes | to His disciples, He warns tc of danger. He cpens doors of eseape. 1 Cor. 10:13; Jude 24.

John 5:24. When we are entrapped it is our own fault, Jas. 1:11-15. | II. Blisha’s Danger and Deliver- ance. (1) The Exasyerated Enemy, vs. 11, 12—What puppets the wicked are in the hands of God, Ps. 38:10; 37:18, and how impotent is thelr rage. The powerful king of Syria, wit his vast army, his able generals, his ini- mense resources, Was utterly powerless when God was reckoned into the ac- count. It is aiwaysa troubled, and exas- perated, and disappointed enemy that fights against God. Ps. 2.4; Ps. 76:10. (2) The Plot Against Elisha, v. 13. —The righteous when they take issue with evil are always marked as spe- cial objects of hatred and revenge, 2 Tim. 3:12; Matt. 5:11-12. But Ell- sha was not the man to fice and hide himself. “At Dothan” was the place of duty, and there Elisha stayed, al- though it was most easy of access for the enemy. How little the servant af the Lord has to fear when he {s standing true to God against the evil. Ps, 55:22. (3) The Hosts of the Enemy, vs. 14, 15.—How strong the evil seems; how firmly entrenched; how tremendous jthe odds appear. Ono defenseless prophet and his panic-stricken serv- ant and a vast army come to take them. Shall we belittle the enemy? Shall we doubt their power for harm and evil? No! But we need to sec the Lord’s hosts. It often seems as If we were outnumbered, but we never are. Rom. 8:31; 2 Chron. 32:7, 83 Matt, 28:20. (4) The Hosts of the Lord, vs. 16, 17—It takes the eye of faith to see. ‘The hosts of the Lordyare there. We need to pray, “Lord, open mine eyes.” ‘A glimpse of God’s power and re- sources will restore lost courage and give strength. One with God is 2 majority always. Phil. 4:6, 7; Heb. 13:6. III. The Enemy's Danger and De- liverance. (1) Entrapped, vs. 18, 19 —The Lord taketh the wise in their ‘own craftiness, Job 5:13; 1 Cor. 3:19 How repeatedly Jesus entrapped His enemies when they had carefully planned to entrap Him. (2) Helpless, v. 20.—No foe is sc powerful but that in the hands of God he is absolutely helpless. The wicked are always biind, but some day they are to come face to face with God, then will they reglize thels weakness and helplessness. (3) Good for Evil, vs. 21-23.—"Shall ‘The Golden Text. “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him and de- livereth them.” Elisha knew It Elisha’s servant saw it. All the heroez of faith of the Bible fought the Lord’s campaigns in this confidence. Jesus spoke of the legions of angels which the Father could send to deliver Him bad it deen His will so todo. The declaration of the text is literally true, Though un- seen, the forces of God are real and all conquering.

These toilets were bound to forced labor by their contracts. The coolie system has very little to commend it over the slave sys. tem as practiced in our southern states before the civil war. In some circum- stances it may easily be worse, since the planter who merely hires slaves fron. a foreign contractor has less interest in their well-being than had the former planters who owned them.

Translated into money, the colony has suffered a loss, due to inadequate rain- fall, of from $60,000,000 to $10,000,000. —Cincinnati Enquirer. ‘The Polite Way. “Yes, Algernon, { witl be your wife!” she said, simply. ‘The heart of the bronzed soldier beat high with joy. “Then you have not forgotten me!” he exclaimed. “I may have forgotten you, but I hope I Laven’t forgotten my manners!” she replied, with something of hauteur.

It was in 1897 that I became acquainted with Mr. Coudrey and for two years I came in connection with him almost daily. I found in him a most perfect and upright gentleman in every respect. His dealing with other Colored men and myself won the admiration of all. Since 1899 we have still had that high regard and respect for him, not only as a republican, but as one that deals fair with his fellowmen. The St. Louis Palladium, quite an up-to-date journal published weekly by the fearless editor, J. W. Wheeler, and the Defender of Scranton, Pa., a weekly journal devoted to the defense of human rights and to the educational, industrial, moral, religious, political and general development of the masses. Both are advocating the success of the grand old Republican party. They are on our exchange list with the Banner, which is also Republican from start to finish.—Exchange. Central Baptist Church in a Stir. Wild rumors are afloat that the Central church at its business meeting agreed to recognize a disorderly church and that Deacon Stokes offered a resolution to draw out from the state association, etc. The Palladium man called on Mr. Stokes to learn the truth of these rumors. Here is Mr. Stokes' statement: "I have no desire to discuss these matters in detail. They are true in part. I am under no obligation to make a false statement nor am I ashamed of the stand I took. I did offer a resolution to cancel our relation with the Baptist State Association of Missouri and other organizations, among Baptists who would knowingly recognize and fellowship disorderly churches while such church remained in a disorderly state. My reason was this: The Baptist State association received to its membership a disorderly church over the protest of the Central church, who was a member of the association at the time in good standing. "By this act the association ceased to recognize the Central church and where there is no recognition there is no fellowship. Therefore it was right and proper for the Central church to cancel her relation with the state association. This is in keeping with the Bible. If a brother neglect to hear the church let him be unto you as a heathen man and publican. Withdraw from everyone that walks disorderly and have no communication with such one,' etc. The stand taken by the pastor, that we could not recognize a disorderly member at home, but may do outside of the county. I thought was very unwise. The scripture means what it says. A brother is disorderly until he gets right, whether he be in St. Joe, Kansas City or St. Louis. "Let God be true, and every man a liar. "No, it is not true that I am against the pastor. I am only contending for the principles as laid down in the Bible. These men who are circulating such reports are not such men as the Bible calls for to manage church affairs. It calls for men of discretion and sound judgment, not for young men in their nonage, nor for old men in their dotage. I am sorry to see the people led in the wrong direction, but feel that I did my duty." True Reformers' Barber Shop. And baths is the neatest, warmest baths and shop in the city.

This will be one of the grandest affairs of the season. The public is cordially invited. On the first Sunday all the members and friends will be called upon to give liberally in the collection at the First Baptist church, because the pastor, Dr. E. C. Cole, wants to raise $,00, which will be due on the following week. The Pleasant Workers' club met last Sunday at 2 p. m., and decided to give an entertainment and dramatic concert on Tranksgiving night, November 25, which promises to be a grand affair. The public is cordially invited. Madame M. A. Gilree, president. Dr. William Gray, of Chicago, a noted Baptist divine of that city, preached an excellent sermon at the First Baptist church last Sunday morning. Rev. Dudley preached a rousing good sermon at 7:30 p. m. The house was crowded, and all listened to him very attentively. Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., president of the National Baptist convention, is in the city attending a meeting of the subcommittee, which was appointed by the National Baptist convention at Austin, Tex., last month, at the First Baptist church. He is stopping with Mr. Jeff. Porter, 1308 Wash street. The subcommittee, which was appointed by the National Baptist convention at Austin, Tex., a month ago, met at the First Baptist church Thursday morning at 10 o'clock to transact some very important business. The meeting lasted for two hours. Afterwards a fine dinner was served them, and at 8 p. m. the committee met again in open session. Dr. A. R. Griggs, of Texas, was elected chairman. The meeting was opened by singing; afterwards prayer was offered by Rev. Geo. W. West. Next the chairman arose and introduced all of the members of the committee by name. Dr. E. C. Morris being called on first for a speech, he spoke well; so did Dr. G. W. Ralford, Prof. W. H. Steward, Dr. A. J. Stokes and Dr. George E. Stephens. After the speeches, the meeting was turned over to Dr. E. C. Cole, who in turn called for a collection, after which the meeting adjourned until Friday morning, and closed Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Helping Hand Society.

Lowery and Mason, proprietors of the Newport Cafe, have secured the services of Mr. V. L. Walker to decorate the walls of their restaurant. It is needless to say that the cafe, as it was, was one of the most well-thought-of and attractive our city has ever had, but since its recent decoration by Mr. Walker it has been rendered doubly so. The harmony of color and the blending of the figures is so fascinating that one forgets his hunger in the admiration of the decorated walls. Mr. Walker is perfect in the art of decorating. His artistic taste displays itself in his work. It requires more than ordinary taste to decide just what decoration is suitable to a cafe on the Newport's order, and Mr. Walker has certainly proven himself an adept in the art. His place of business is at 2636 Lawton avenue.
