Stick in line and hang together There are still on earth a few colored poets. What is misery candidates? Well we'll tell you after April 14 A government is like a house when it divides against its self it cannot stand. When a man has been abused, a killed, and has been treated unfairly, then he thinks what is home without a mother-in-law(?) We do not seek to pose as a boss now nor, never, I we want is for our race to take due notice to what is right and what is wrong. In a speech before the Young Men's Club the other evening the young men was advised to stick together and if they didn't they would all be hung separately." We oppose white men who specially urge the claims for coloured suffrage, and at the same time never have shown a friendly hand towards them be'ore. The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT KENDER JUSTICE TO ALL Of course the people will not forget to vote for Col. Harrison at the coming primaries April 14th. Next week we are going to "raise Cain," and the next week it will be "Abel." Why do the Heathen rage and the people imagine vain things and now there is an uproar about the "Topeka Industrial Institute." At the regular business meeting of the Young Men's Political Club last Thursday evening Judge Jamison was made an honorary member by common consent and he will also act as legal advisor for the club during the year. Thomas Doran, Gale Nichols, and Spencer have to fight it out among themselves—there seems be a difference of opinion. Of cource the people will support Albert K. Wilson for Representative from this district for he is an old resident and is running for a first term, while his opponent, McKeever is out for third term. It takes the intelligent people all their time to attend to their own business. A waste of words to accomplish some wrong, through spite, is like a flower that has lost its sweetness on the desert air. C. V. Wolf, the man who savs his nomination is assured, will be as much wiset victim of political influence when the fight is over. It is amusing the hear of such blowhardism. The time is short for our county primaries those persons who have not made up their minds will take in consideration the time is near at hand, do not wait till the day comes and then decide. Now is the time to decide. Charley Fellows has always been regarded as a good racer but like John L. Sullivan, he will get knocked out some day, and the consolation is that day is not for hence when he will get licked so everlastingly, till like the "bark" that held a prince went down, the sweeping waves rolled on, and it was England's glorious Crown to him that sept—a son." WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THOSE WHOM YOU CLAIM ARE RECEIVING THE GREATER PART OF THE COLORED SCHOOL (FUND) APPROPRIATION. The editors of the Industrial League Phamplet in last months series Lave stated that there will and must be some immediate modifications in the dispensing of public monies, provided for colored youth. They have investigated the matter and find that there are eight persons out of three families teaching in the colored schools which it is claimed averages ever hundred dollars per month, or many thousand dollars per annum. The object of the enlightment on this subject as we understand is simply to c envy the facts. They say they have no daughters capable of taking a position first, they have not completed their studies, secondly: that they are not immediate applicants. Hence according to these statements, parents of graduates we are informed have tried to effect an entrance to a position in the colored schools. We have talked with some of the leading teachers in the schools and they tell us those who graduate from the High School are generally submitted to an examination on all the common branches for the re- TOPEKA, KANSAS, APRIL. 5, 1900. spective grades and they invariably fail. It this be true, which we don't know, places the High School of this city in a pretty flimsy light. Now the fault is some where, for we have known a number colored applicants to fail since our residence in this city but seldom we hear of any of the opposite race applicants failing who claim to have graduated from the Topek, High School. JUDGE NO. FOR JUDGE I COURT—3rd JUDI TRICT CONTEST WILL Indictations have nated in the judicial Judge Hazen will ha We do not wish to find fault or become contentious about this aggravated subject, but it is the wish of this journal to know why this discrepancy in ability? Surely it is not a step to keep some good girl out of a job for a more favorite married or unmarried teachers? Why we mention a few things here, it is not for the purpose of endorsing any one nor aiding Mr. Stephens, Foster et al in their scathing remarks about the teachers, but we thought it advisable since the gentlemen are in the query business, we take pleasure in asking a few ourselves. BLACK CAT ON GALEN NICHOLS TRAIL. We are a superstitious race, and for that cause we notice most any non-common occurrence. On Saturday last, a bright sunny afternoon, Mr. Nichols, candidate for county attorney, was navigating on last Sixth street where he was meeting nearly every man from the country, those whom he knew and those whom he didn't. When near the Clipper Restaurant, Mr. Nichols braced himself against the walls of the building cornered by a few dozen country and city politicians when all at once a huge motley face black burley cat appeared on the scene and politely took a glance at the would-be politician and the fellows who have "fluence," all at once as quick as a flash he darted under Mr. Nichols or rather between his long legs, and then looked all around, and calmly dropped into a doze. Of course the assistant county attorney talked on not noticing his visitor, though many bystanders not actually engaged, noticed and whispered, "say Nick, thats bad luck," Mr. Nichols never looked, he talked on; and the writer liked to burst into a loud voice, but for fear of being arrested for disturbing the peace we kept still, It would not have seemed so funny, but this old cat seemed to be a most ugly varmint, his head appeared as though he had been baptised by the introduction of a well directed kettle of hot water poured on his fore-top or cranium and as the boys all nodded, winked, laughed and walked away, the old black cat still stuck. And the only moral that can be drawn for the benefit of our readers is: "do not let a black cat cross your path as it is generally a bad omen." Yet we do not remember whether the cat crossed Mr. Nichols or he crossed the cat. But we'll be hanged if we would let a black cat hang around ourselves were we a candidate for an office. If anyone doubts this statement, on the first fine sunny day, just walk leisurely along east 6tn street, and we think you will be able to locate that motley face black cat that hung around Galen Nichols last Saturday, although we do not think he noticed "his visitor. The neatly appointed residence of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Maux of this city, located on Madison st. near 5th, is a nodel edifice and speaks in very praise worthy terms for the colored race. It is only a question of not how much, but how well, JUDGE NO. MARTIN FOR JUDGE DISTRICT COURT—3rd JUDICIAL DIS TRICT. CONTEST WILL BE HOT Indictations have at last culminated in the judicial fight. Hence Judge Hazen will have to fight in politics this fall to retain his position as judge of the Shawnee county District Court. While it is a little early to save anything about Judge Martin's strength, we will assure our readers that he is going to be a formidable candidate for juigue. Judge Martin has been interviewed by all classes of newspaper men on the judicial subject, and he has said all along that it is not and it will not be a question of politics with him, for the fight will be strictly nonpartisan. He will not be a member of any party in this fight. He will make the race as an independent candidate, and we know the character of many of the successful Independent candidates, for that means without fear or favor, color or sex-justice to all. It any one can show why these kind of judges are not needed everywhere in Kansas as well. Then its up to the opposition to show We have heard old settlers express themselves, their candid opinion pertaining to the ability of Judge Martin. When he was on the bench they all say he is there with no feeling at all Its a question of right and wrong, its a question of guilt or innocence, for every man looks alike to John Martin. We have been noticing lately a budget of exchanges from neighboring cities and towns commenting on him and particular stating that he is a just judge, that no clever hearted man ever graced in judicial ermine than Martin. He carries no prejudice with him into the chair where justice is to eminate from, and where clemency is to take a hand in the good traits of a beggar who stole because he was hungry, fair minded and honest John Martin can always find a warm place we assure you in the newspapers of this city and county should he continue in the race. We are for justice. There is a sign in Lawrence on one of the streets that reads without the man's name properly spelled and punctated. Surely some painter must have had on a jag of "old rye and barley corn." Mr, L. King, a widower of considerable real estate has been a resident of Lawrence for over a quarter of a century. He lost his wife a few years ago, while he is quite aged he is improving his property, and in connection with his already buildings he is erecting two business houses at 329 Vermont St. Capt. Adna Clark, of the famous fighting 20th Kansas U. S. V., is now Assistani clerk of the District court Douglas county. He was appointed by Mr. Chas. Tuckier, the dhiefstain of that office, and as Mr. Tuckers time expires thus fall, Capt. Clark has thus far announced that he will make the race for clerk of the court. He will be opposed by Capt S. A: Harvey, a member of our race, who was the former District clerk several years ago, and who at the President and Governor's call of our state, commanded a company and sailed for Cuba. He was in that county 9 months. He gained respect everywhere. Col. Harrison, who asks the nomination of State Senator, was a Union Veteran, many of them will vote for him. He was exmayor of this city and we defy any statement of dissatisfaction. He is not a man who always wants a political office. he is not against the interest of the laboring people, he stands up for squareness. At the polls on April 14th will you nominate him? Cowardice is one of the worst things we have to deal with among colored people. This way of selling out to merely reach the point is of little force the people are always on to such stuff and will support nothing but a pure and undivided principle. Since the organization of colorful clubs few are able to state correctly their political faith. Hence a great change has taken place. Charley Fellows, well you all know him. One paper says he has employed thousands of laborers—well you all know him, who would believe that he is not a candidate of the Leland gang. Is he? Find out please. The colored people should vote for a man who will accept the endorsements of a Negro for a political office which he is able to fill "Our flag is still there." is the title of a patriotic song. But too stick shows that we are still here Neither dead while many has dammed us, yet through all those sleepless nights, the editor loses none. This shows on its face that we must have a few friendly advisors There are some good colored people in the ranks of the colored population. But there are a string of deceitful ones, who, like a cow that has given a bucket of milk and kicks it over. So you see that many good colored people are to be blamed for what the cheap class of them do. Whose interest is Councilman Morgan running in(?) What does he hope for(?) We ask that you read up on the issues, and always call for your papers as well as letters when at the Post-office. If some teachers would remain at their jobs and not attend to politics when they were not infringing upon the rights of their pupils there would be less discussion(?) There is a growing feeling it seems in the campaign for different candidates for county offices yet there will be nothing definite until a few more meetings are held. We have received a fine supply of new type from Kansas City, and that is an indication of prosperity. We are sure an omen of good times is not far hence. J. W. Mergan whose candidacy meets with little or no approval for Probate Judge. Why will he not get out of the way and leave the race to some one who may be elected(?)

We have never lost any support on account of what some say of us, Do not be discouraged for the Republican party is your friend. Not withstanding what is said. Since our experience has taugh us that the less said is the easily mended, but we have said many things that may never be mended. The faces in the case are thus; we must either sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, go down or up—we are there with the big mit. Notwithstanding the whims and notions of some candidates for office they have become convinced that we are a little disfigured but still in the ring and above all, here to stay. The importance of a man's record is always up to date when he is a candidate for office. Some men who aspire fot office in the meantime get uneasy and know they will be defeated and hence they talk doubtful. There is a certain man telling that all the colored people are in favor of him except the editor of this paper. Of corrse any fool can see that we must be it from the simple fact that we have several thousand readers. The "Smokey Row" individ uals will find no space in the newspapers for notoriety this is election time. To tell it about town that this and that paper has no influence that man had better not been born for the good they now are doing. There is a certain official trying to predominate the politics in this county. He is greatly in favor of Charley Fellows for County Commissioner. To show him we are dead on, will he tell us a secret about the withdrawel of a certain man? Col. H. J Bevelle whose name is well known as a candidate for Probate Judge is still making votes for that office. There is no man who has a better record seeking this office and, the voters of Shawnee County may rest assured that they will recieve a fair recognition at his hands. If nominated and elected Probate Judge of this county. PROBATE JUDGE There is a growing interest in the Candidacy of Mr. Fagan for Probate Judge he has always been a true and tried friend to our people and is not out of place to insist that he be revaired on April 14th. It will be remembered that Mr. Fagan has never held any office in this County during his residence here and for that reason the voters of the various wards will not hesitate to get cut, and ralley to his support.

Rubber Corks Especially. YOUR TRAFE SOLICITFD. One eminent authority on cooking, who has issued several books upon the subject, calls for a crusade against the potato. It is, she holds, an overestimated vegetable. Certainly there is something odd in the place it has taken in the domestic economy. There are other vegetables quite as cheap and quite as palatable, that might at least occasionally be offered in its place. But still the potato triumphs. It has become a sort of superstition. How many times have children who did not like potatoes been made to eat them? And they are not a particularly valuable article of food either. The haulage of boats by automobiles along the canal between Brussels and Charleroi has demonstrated, after a long trial, that the new method of towing is three times quicker than horse traction. The automobile derives its energy from a railway composed of six lines, three of high tension (6,000 volts), and three of low tension, on which the trolleys run. The electricity is furnished by three dynamos, each of 120 horse power.-Philadelphia Record. Some extraordinary shooting by the British gunners is recorded. The conditions of firing were that each gun's crew should score what it could in three minutes, beginning at 2,200 yards, diminishing to 1,000 yards and then increasing to 2,200 yards again. It is asserted that the Blake fired 149 shots from ten guns, hitting the target 110 times. The best crew fired eighteen shots and made fifteen hits. The Royal Arthur's best gun crew hit the target fourteen times out of eighteen shots. EDUCATE YOUR BOWELS. EDUCATE YOUR BOWELS. Thousands of Premature Deaths Caused by Neglect.

It is a curious fact, brought out in Prof. McKim's new book on heredity, that 268 people to the thousand are morbidly afraid of cows. There was an English dog fancier who had a setter, which "set" a passing ship. Investigation showed that the captain of the merchantman had shot a brace of ducks as he sailed into the harbor. The setter smelled those ducks across a mile of water and through a wall of oak. But we can beat that record. We can produce an example of smelling "errancy" across 700 miles of land where there is none. McKim says there are 203 people to the thousand who are morbidly afraid of ghosts. We will drop a line to the professor, and tell him in his next edition to make it 204—The Interlor. My little 4-year-old girl's eyes were so weak from birth that she could not stand any light at all.
