FOR PRESIDENT: WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohio. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: THEO. ROOSEVELT, of New York. Booker T. Washington writes that the effort to organize a National Afro-American Business League at Boston, August 23-24, 1900, is meeting with the most gratifying commendation and assistance from business men and women in every section of the country. It is to be understood that this organization is for Afro-Americans who are engaged in the most humble lines of trade, as well as for those in the higher lines. Few people understand how many successful Afro-American men M. REV. A.J. CAREY Pastor of Quinn Chapel. and women there are who are engaged in business of all kinds in remote towns and who are succeeding in a quiet way. The object of this meeting will be to get hold of such people and give them such encouragement and advice as will enable them to do more and better business. At the same time a demonstration will be made of the enterprises of the race that will do much to help and strengthen it in the eyes of the world. All persons engaged in business who have not yet communicated with Mr. Washington are urged to do so at Tuskegee, Ala., at once. Such an effort deserves and should receive the hearty encouragement and assistance of every man and woman of the race interested in its future. The Kansas City convention attempted to square a circle when it tried to construct a sound-money-free-silver platform and nominate a pair of free-silver-sound-money candidates. The two things will not mix. One is right and the other is wrong; and no amount of word juggling, wool pulling, hedging or evasion can deceive the people. Those who sincerely believe in the free, and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without awaiting the aid or co-operation of any other nation on earth, should vote for Bryan, for he is pledged to that very thing. All other citizens of the Republic, no matter what their previous political affiliations may have been, should and must unite against that financial heresy, which, if adopted, would plunge the country into a state of business anarchy, such as has never been experienced by any people since the invention of coined money. It may be assumed with a good degree of confidence that this campaign will not be as profitable for Mr. Bryan as was the last. The people will be slow to part with their good money to hear hard luck stories. The Nebraska Colonel-Orator's ideas concerning the Philippines are about as clear as his ideas about finance, both bein5g more serviceable for campaign purposes than as a. working basis for government. The Democratic party is no longer drawing inspiration from the memories of Jefferson and Jackson. These THE APREAL A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER names are not to be appealed to in conducting an anti-expansion campaign. Mr. Bryan is so opposed to McKinley becoming an emperor that he has been working for years to secure the scepter for himself. He has already proven himself to be a pretty good boss. When the returns are counted next November the Democrats would do well to put their handsome minority in the cold storage warehouse owned and operated by the Tammany Ice Trust. Bets of 4 to 1 that McKinley will be re-elected President have already been REV. J. M. TOWNSEND made. A New York Republican, who had $10,000 to wager, at 3 to 1, found no enthusiastic Democratic takers. The failure of the Democrats to denounce the annexation of Hawaii was doubtless due to the fact that the vote of Hawaii alone enabled them to revive the 16 to 1 corpse. The boy, Coin Harvey, will find that the present campaign can get along without a new edition of his great work on how to get rich by multiplication. Mr. Altgeld has announced his intention of retiring from politics after the Kansas City convention. He will not wait for the November ejection. The Supreme Court of the United States is still doing business at the same old stand. QUINN CHAPEL. CHICAGO'S FINEST AFRO-AMERICAN CHURCH. History of the Church, from its Inception in 1844, all Through its Varied Triumphs and Victatitudes to the Occupancy of the Beautiful New Church of 1894. In A. D. 1844 there lived in a small hut in the silley near State st., between Lake and Randolph street, a plain but devout Afro-American named John Day. A few Afro-American used to congregate at Day's house to hold prayer meetings. This house becoming too small, the meetings were removed to the house of Maria Parker who lived adjoining Day's. Maria Parker had a daughter, Mrs. Anfulton, the oldest member of Quinn Chapel now living. In 1845, the prayer meeting assembly having grown to the proportions of a religious society, they moved from the house of Mother Parker as she was called, into the school house on Madison Street a few doors from State street. In 1845 Madison Patterson, a nexhorter, took the leadership of the society having as his assistant A. T. Hall, a barber, then a journeyman in the shop of the well known Oliver Henderson of Chicago. Madison Patterson took the society to his house on State street, near Van Buren street, where class and prayer meetings were held till they purchased one half of the white Baptist church 30x50 feet located on the corner of La Salle and Washington st., which they hauled on to a lot on the east side of Wells street, now Fifth avenue between Jackson and Van Buren streets. In 1847 William Paul Quinn then bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church sent the Rev. George Johnson missionary from the New York annual conference, who, with the assistance of Phillip Ward, July 22d, 1847, organized the society under the discipline of the African M. E. Church and called it Quinn Chapel. There were seven members who formed the organization as follows: Rachel Day, John Day, Adela Lucas, Mary Jane Randall, A. T. Hall, Maria Moose, and Edward Gordon Frank Scripts was the appointed classleader. Annie Lewis, Anna Scripts, Virginia Campbell, and Virginia Dixon joined immediately after the organization. The first trustees were William Randall, Edward Gordon, Isaiah Parker, John Day, John Rollins, William Lucas, and John Farnsworth. J. REV. T. W. HENDERSON ond Methodist church in Chicago. At that date there were S. Mary's Cathedral on Madison street, the First Presbyterian Cathedral on Washington st., and the First Baptist church on Wabash avenue, and Thirty-first street. The Rev. A. T. Hall was the first class leader of the Quinn Chapel Society and was the first Afro-American licensed to preach in Chicago. He is now the oldest travel minister in the Iowa conference of the A. M. E. Church. The first pastor, September 1847-1848, was the Rev. Thomas Farnsworth, the second 1848-1850 was the Rev. Aaron Parker; the third 1850-1851 was the Rev. Elisha Weaver. Weaver being removed, the Rev. A. T. Hall, filled the unexpired term, when he became the fourth pastor 1851-1852, serving two years; the fifth pastor 1852-1854 was the Rev. J. A. Warren. The Quinn among the masters of Chicago, and should be a plea of Chicago excellent Surflourishing This society eventful histories, lots erected, ship, sufferer church build times, and art custor of pastors, so lily men and a Yet, through have kept on in the confic estimate of cage. Under the Rev. Warren's administration the society purchased the lot on the Southwest corner of Jackson street and Fourth avenue, now Custom House Place, occupied by the magnificent Monadnock building. They moved from the Wells street lot to this location in 1854, where they had erected a new house which was dedicated and paid for the same day. The trustees at this time were John Lucas, William Sparrow, John Collins, Isaiah Baker, A. T. Hrll. The Rev. Bird Parker, an able preacher, was employed to travel and collect funds to pay for the church property. The sixth pastor 1854-1855 was the Rev. William Davis the seventh pastor 1855-1857 was the Rev. Eliha Webber; the sixth pastor 1857-1858 was the Rev. M. M. Clark; the ninth pastor, 1868-1861 was the Rev. Willis R. Revels; the tenth pastor, 1861-1862 was the Rev. Wm. A. Dove; the eleventh pastor, 1862-1864 was the Rev. Cha. Birch; the twelfth pastor, 1864-1866 was the Rev. A. T. Hall; the thirteenth pastor, 1868-1868 was the Rev. Wm. C. Trevan, the fourteenth pastor 1888-1869 was the Rev. Amos McIntosh; the fifteenth pastor, 1869-1870 was the Rev. Wm. S. Langford; the sixteenth pastor, 1870-1871 was the Rev. Wm. C. Trevan. On Oct. 9th the noted Chicago fire destroyed the Quinn Chapel building on Jackson street and Fourth avenue (Custom House Place.) when, under the leadership of Elder Wm. C Trevan they mortgaged the lot for $1,000 and purchased the old Taylor Building on Fourth avenue, (Custom House Place) between Taylor and Twelfth streets, where they worshiped until the fire of July 15, 1873, when they were again burned out. They then occupied Union Hall corner- E. LEE Clark and Monroe streets, remaining till they moved into an old store on the east side of Third avenue south of Van Buren street. Having mortgaged the Fourth avenue(Custom House Place) and Jackson street lot they were compelled to sell it. With the proceeds they purchased a lot on Fourth avenue (Custom House Place) near Van Buren street. The seventeenth pastor 1871-1874 was the Rev, G. C. Booth. In 1878 the corner stone of the new brick building on Fourth avenue (Custom House wholly unsuitable as a place to worship; hence the pastor, Dr. J. T. Jenifer, induced his congregation to sell the Fourth avenue (Custom House Place), pay off the debt of $11,000 and purchase the lot 75x195 feet on the southeast corner of Twenty-fourth street and Wabash avenue, where a fine church edifice, 72x112, has been erected of Gothic architecture, costing $45,000, with additional cost of completing about $10,000 more. The building is a stone structure with tower on the corner, and in style and structure as is compatible with the locality as well as growth and progress of the congregation, and also the center for humane and Christian work among the people E. H. H. The Quinn Chapel congregation is among the most thrifty and intelligent of Chicago's Afro-American citizens and should be encouraged by the people of Chicago. The church has an excellent Sunday school with the other flourishing societies, Lyceum, etc. This society has had fifty years of eventful history. It has purchased four lots, erected four buildings for worship, suffering the destruction of two church buildings by fire, removed eight times, and under the Methodist titinerant custom had twenty-five changes of pastors, some of them being scholarly men and able preachers and divines. Yet, through all these vicissitudes they have kept in advance with a fast hold on the confidence of the people and the estimate of the best citizens of Chicago. Rev. J. M. Townsend took charge of the church in 1893. During his ministership more than 1,000 members were added to the church and in one year $13,000 was raised. The next pastor was Rev. Geo. W. Booth, a scholarly gentleman, who did good work during his short pastorate. R. Allan B1H0P ABRAM GRANT, D. D. REV. J.T. JENIFER Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., the present pastor, assumed charge in September, 1898. He was until that time pastor of Mt Zion A. M. E. church in Jacksonville, Fla. It was with regret that he left that charge, which is the largest and most flourishing in the South. But at the earnest solicitation of Bishop Arnett he came. Since being here he has cancelled the Hutt judgment of $1,800, reduced the second mortgage from $2,000 to $1,200, paid $3,375 on interest, keeping it paid up promptly as it became due, paid and reduced many minor claims and went to the last annual conference with the largest financial report ever made by any pastor of the church, reporting for all purposes. $13,425. He has already instituted a penny savings bank, a circulating library, a reading room, and plans are laid for fitting out the basement for use as a gymnasium. Dr. Carey is able seconded in all his forward movements by his amible, cultured and energetic wife. And with these two earnest workers at the head and Quinn Chapel's faithful membership, it is safe to predict that the future of this church is bright. REV. W. C. TREVAN OFFICERS OF QUINN CHAPEL.

First, as to the feeling of the people in regard to the policies and nominees of the great parties, etc. They were generally enthusiastic for the Republican party and its nominees. Second what about China? Some thought the United States had no right and should not mix in the affair. Others were of the opinion she should go in unhesitatingly, join with the other powers and crush China or wipe her off the face of the earth. They all seemed to have decided views and opinions. They were not many in number and were generally of the modest unassuming type, but were decidedly strong in intellect. That is to say they were well posted on the issues of the day, keen in appreciation of the right and bold enough to oppose when occasion required. There were no large social functions during their stay, but they were earnest in their praise of St. Paul and the hospitalities of her people.

The greatest feat of modern civilization is the modern newspaper. This thought comes to mind almost every day as we take from its wrapper The Minneapolis Tribune. It is simply astounding how much in the way of information and fact, as well as intelligent comment one can buy for a cent—new and fresh every day. There is something to be said about The Tribune. It is true of any other Twin City daily. It is consistently and persistently Republican. The Tribune never goes off after false gods nor do the flesh pots of office or the allurements of gain ever swerve it from its support of the right. It is true of the efforts to shape party policy and the selection of candidates for office. All this may be understood, however, from the fact that The Tribune is in no sense an organ; it is a newspaper—with the accent upon the news. No doubt this accounts for its overtopping circulation. When a paper in Minnesota averages for an entire year over 50,000 circulation, as the Tribune does in the ending March "1, 1900), it is going to consider the number of people within its field, than any paper we know of. There are more kinds of people in Minnesota interested in the dog in The Tribune's daily cartoon than in any other one daily creation. These cartoons are infinitely funny, and at the same time full of good sense. They are often when a whole column of editorial might glance off ineffective. The Tribune has recently moved into its new marble front building, of which Defective Page THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Little Willie—Mamma, why is tolen kisses de sweetes'? Mamma, I don't know. it is justly proud. Its equipment is said to be without exception the finest, and most up-to-date in America. No money has been spared to make it so and the paper tells on its face that it is the product not only of the best mechanical facilities, but the best newspaper brains and character in the Northwest. We feel like saying to others "Toe the mark with The Minneapolis Tribune."

A TREAT In Store for Ladies and Children of Minneapolis. Mrs. Victor Webb, who for the past year has been in attendance at the Infirmary Parlors of the N. I. O., has opened at 29 Washington Ave. S. a very neat bath parlor where she is prepared in a modest way to give alcohol, vapor, sulphur and sponge baths also massage treatment. In her inquiry, found that there was not a place where ladies of her race could receive these benefits, hence her long ambitions desires have been fulfilled by opening such a place herself. Rheumatism, nervousness, kidney and skin diseases successfully treated, also, by securing perfect circulation of the blood the complex is made clear and the smooth.

Justice Johnson, of St. Paul, has decided in the case of the Odd Fellows' Review against John Gaffey, that if a subscriber desires to have a paper discontinued to his address, he must first pay the publisher the amount he owes for subscription, and make a request that the paper be discontinued to his address. The evidence in the case brought forth the facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid for the Review for one year, and that he continued to accept it after his subscription had expired. Later he changed his address without notifying the publisher, and claimed not to have received the paper. This, the court held, was through no fault of the publishers, who received a judgment for the amount due and costs. Ex-President Cleveland is still disregarded with the Democratic party because of its 16-to-1 plank. What he thinks of his former partner, Adial Stevenson, for running on that plank is not recorded. Our own Graeme Stewart, now Republican national committeeman, and member of the Republican national executive committee, is speaking words of hope. He says the German and the Irish vote are safe. e NO WONDER. IF YOU EAT DRINK AND BE MERRY THEN YOU DIE Mr. Sidebone—Who is the new boarder? He's continually jawing.

Political Points: The Democratic platform can be read in three words, "Ag in the Government." Ten cent cotton was touched under a Republican administration that opened the mills. A Republican surplus of $81,229,776 in taxes was used than a Democratic deficit of $140,702,915 in income of peace. There are now at the Paris Exposition five farmers from one ownership. This is merely an example of prosperity fact. Boss Bryan objects to an imaginary national imperialism. He believes as ever in individual imperialism. The Goebbels are now in possession of all the Kentucky state offices. The delivery of the stolen goods has been accomplished. Eighty-one per cent of the delegates to the Democratic convention recognized that 16 to 19 years ago the President David Bryan wanted it, and Prince David voted for it, so settled it. Four years ago the Democratic party favored an income tax. This year it didn't too many Democrat millionaire now.
