THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Negroes In Congress. For The First Time In Thirty - Two Years No Colored Man Sits In Either Chamber. (N. V. Tribune.) VOL. III. Negroes In For The First Time In Colored Man Sits In (N. Y. Tribune.) For the first time in thirty-two years, except for a brief period between 1887 and 1889, no colored man sits in either chamber of congress, and there is less prospect of the election of a colored man to this body than at any time since the house of the war. That with education and culture his political fortunes will be advanced cannot be doubted. Hampton and Tuskegee are doing a great work, and the future Negro stateman will be the equal in intellect and culture, perhaps, of his white brother. This was not true of many of those colored men who have been honored with seats in congress, but it is true that they recognized their own limitations and worked patiently and unceasingly for improvement. The first colored man elected to congress was Willis Menard of Louisiana. He was born in Illinois, educated in Ionia college, had acted as hospital guard and recruiting officer for the government during the war, and was sent on a special mission to Honduras. In whatever office he won the confidence of his superiors. He had great influence over his own people, and was noted as a public speaker. No Negro was ever worthier of a seat in congress, but Meard was never allowed to serve in the office to which he had been chosen, being barred out by alleged irregularities in his election. His failure, however, and the criticism it evoked, paved the way for the entrance of the black man into public life, and on February 25, 1870, after one of the most exciting debates in the history of congress, when Charles Sumner acted as the champion of the Negro, Revolls was admitted to the senate to fill the seat made vacant by the resignation of Jefferson Davis. Two others Negroes served in Forty-first congress — Joseph H. Rainey and Jefferson F. Long. There was four Negro representatives in the Forty-second congress, which number was increased to seven in the Forty-third. The Forty-fourth congress was known as the "Black congress." Blanche K, Bruce represented Mississippi in the senate, and seven men of his race served in the lower house. Of these the most conspicuous was Robert Small of South Carolina, the famous pilot who, healed the party that conduct --- ed the Planter out of the Charleston harbor for which service he was handsomely rewarded by the government and appointed pilot for the rest of the war. With the Forty-forth congress the number of colored men in the house and senate began to decrease. In the next congress only four colored members were returned. Senator Bruce was the only man of his race in the Forty-sixth cengress. Smails and Lynch represented their race in the Forty-seventh congress. In the two succeeding congress there was only one colored man. James E. O'Hare of North Carolina, who was defeated for the Fiftieth congress, and since then only five Negroes have served in congress—John M. Langston of Virginia, Thomas E. Miller of South Carolinia, Henry P. Cheatham of North Carolinia, George W. Murray of South Carolinia, and Geo. H. White of North Carolinia. The Progressive Negroes. The Negroes of the United States are publishing in the various sections of the country 412 newspaper journals, the majority of which will reflect credit on any race of poeple Every self-respecting Negro in the land should subscribe and pay for at least one newspaper published by the race. But shame on some of our would-be big Negroes! They will pay for nothing, and see good in nothing done by the black men and women. Despite these simpletons, the Negroes are making progress along all lines.—Voice of the Centu- ry.

"Truly, the Afro-American newspaper has a hard road to travel. Many are borne into the world, drag along a short time and then die because of non-support. The men who started them meant well and designed to do right. They went forward to their work with the full expectation of receiving the generous support of their own race at least. The paper was subscribed for, and duly read, but not paid for, nor supported in the other two ways which we shall mention. Now here is the rule, if followed will be sure to bring success: First, subscribe to and pay promptly. This will enable the editor to get his paper out promptly and have it in your home on time; secondly, read your own paper and don't lend it to your neighbor, rather insisting that he send in his subscription and get it for himself. There're people in every community who are well informed as to what is going on this country, and yet never spend a dollar for a paper; they simply depend upon their neighbors for the news. They often drop in to borrow the paper before it is read by the owner. The man that depend upon his neighbors for his news takes just that much advantage of the publisher, for he takes what he does not pay for. and the man that lends his paper is equally guilty. Thirdly before buying clothing, shoes, bread provisions, coal, wood and all things needed in the family, let him take up his paper and examine the advertisements, and those business houses which advertise in your own race papers are the ones whom we ought to support as far as we possibly can. By so doing, we can help our struggling editor in more ways than one. The advertiser is quick to see that his investment has not been thrown away and will be ready to accommodate the editor in every way possible. Thus, we have given you the three rules and we assert without hesitancy that if they are followed our race journals will live and grow." Dear Reader, "chew upon these things' and wax wise.—Colored American. The ladies G. L. A. club met at the residence of Mrs. H. F. Frazier last Tuesday, after spending an hour at work the ladies were served a most enjoyable lunch. They met next Tuesday at the residence of Mrs. T. H. Cor 906 N. Wichita st. RCN. W. S. PIERCE. We have the pleasure of presenting the likeness of Hon. W. S. Pierce candidate for the nomination of Register of Deeds of Sedgwick county. Candidate For Nomination For Office of Register of Deeds. Mr. Pierce was born Pennsylvania and moved from there to Galesburg, Ill. He came to Kansas in 1878 and located in Kingman county. He came to Wichita in 1882 and has the destincion of opening the fourth exclusive shoe store in our city. He sold his store in in 1886, and during the greater part of which time he has been engaged in the insurance business. He is a strong republican; has never missed a county convention and has missed but a few state and congressional conventions. He has always taken a keen and active part in politics. It is said of him that he can call as many persons by their given name as any man in our county. As a candidate for office of Register 6f Deeds, Mr. Pierce is making a good race, and is a fit person for that office. The Convention. Never in all the history of the republican party, has a more harmonious convention assembled than was the county delegate convention, which met in Garfield hall on last Thursday. It bespeaks a most glowing and glorious success of the party this fall. The convention gave the colored voters a recognition which they have never before received by electing W. N. Miller temporae secretary, and later when the convention was permanently organized by electing Lieut. W. A. Bettis assistant permanent secretary. Besides this very appreciable recognition of the race, they elected W. N. Miller as a delegate to the 7th congressional convention, which meets at Hutchinson on March 5th, and Lieut. W. A. Bettis to the state convention which meets in this city on May 28th. The convention ratified the splendid administration of Gov. W. E. Stanley and pledged itself to his support as senator. They also paid a tribute to Chester I Long and instructed the delegates for him, as well as approved of the statesmanship of our Senator J. R. Burton. But the convention almost went wild in their enthusiasm of support of the candacy of our fellow towsman, Hon. Chas. H. Luling, as State Insurance Commissioner. They pledged themselves to Luling to a man. One of the very agreeable features was an address to the convention by the Hon. Robt E. McCollock of Anthony, candidate for the nomination as Attorney General. His every word was most heartily received. After having finished their business the convention adjourned. JUBILEE!

McLaurin of South Carolina, both deep-dyed Negro haters, got into a fist fight in the Senate last Saturday. There is only one regret, and that is each of them did not send each other where they have been instrumental in sending many poor, innocent colored men—to the judgement bar. Let them fight each other is our say. Fight! Fight!! Fight!!! That "Superior" Race. We have heard much about the "superior" and "inferior" races. The action of the "superior" (?) race in the U. S. Senate in the past few days seems to be lacking much of that boasted "refinement" so much referred to. A debating society among the "inferior" (?) race—the Negro race—would have been more dignified and refined than has been the action of Tillman, McLaurin, Wellington and McComas in the U. S. Senate recently. We sit by and smile. It's coming our way. A. D. Taylor, one of Sedgwick county's able teachers, is a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction. He is an able man and would do credit in that capacity. Hon. Dan Boone has made a most excellent record as Treasurer of Sedgwick county, and is the right man to receive the nomination to succeed himself. He is a strong man in the party and his candidacy will mean his re-election. Let all be for Dan Boone for County Treasurer. For the first time in 32 year there is no Negro in either branch at congress and the first time in 32 years the U. S. Senate is disgraced' Why the change? Did the presence of the Negro hold the Senate in check. Mr. F. J. Bartlett, for several years foreman of the great Wichita Nursery, has returned after an absence of several montns and has again taken the foremanship of that large Nursery. Mr. Bartlett will add greatly to the cropograting of that firm, as he has served a regular apprenticeship in the business and has the reputation of being the only one in the state who has so served. Mr. Bartlett is an enthusiastic republican and do his part. On behalf of our fellow republicans we welcome him to aid the party.

For many years the Uniferm rank among the colored Pythians of Kansas has existed in name only. It has been permitted to linger until all had almost lost all interest therein. Recently, however, Capt. Sam W-Jones took up the work of re-organizing the rank and has most admirably succeeded in awakening interest. He has organized and mustered in Imperial company No.1, of this city, of which he was elected Captian. Recognizing his work the Maj. Genl. has appointed him a Colonel and Aid de Camp on the Maj.

The President Monday withdrew his invitation extended to Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, to attend the dinner that night in honor of Prince Henry of Prussia at the White House. It is stated that this action on the part of the President was made necessary from the fact that owing to occurrences on the floor of the Senate last Saturday the senator from South Carolina was declared in contempt of the Senate. Senator Martin. of Virginia, a member of the committee on naval affairs, accepted an invitation in Mr. Tillman's place. The invitation was extended originally to Mr. Tillman owing to the fact that he is the ranking minority member of the naval affiars committee. There was a sensational sequel to the deciion of the President to eliminate Senator Tillman from the list of dinner guests. The President sent for Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, and asked him as a friend and Democratic colleague of Mr. Tillman, to suggest to the latter the propriety of withdrawing his acceptance of the dinner invitation. The President explained his attitude in the matter, and said that in view of the contempt proceedings, Mr. Tillman's presence would not only be an affront to the Senate but a discourse to Prince Henry. Mr. Cockrell accepted the commission, and later telephoned the President that Mr. Tillman absolutely refused to withdraw his acceptance in response to the President's suggestion. The President immediately cancelled the invitation in a note he dispatched directly to Mr. Tillman shortly before noon Monday. In this note, which was very brief and formal, the President stated he regretted that he was obliged to withdraw the invitation. Simultaneously Senator Martin, of Virginia, was invited to take Mr. Tillman's place at the dinner as the next ranking member in the Senate of the naval affairs committee. The following was the letter withdrawing Mr. Tillman's invitation to dine that night: "White House, February 24,—The President regrets that he is compelled to withdraw the invitation to you to dine to-night at the White House. Very truly yours, GEORGE B. CORTELYOU, Secretary to the President." Organizing A Tent. Mrs. Geo W. White and Mrs, W N.

Neh. 6-3 Rev. R. W. P. Banks, of Great Bend and Rev. Lightfoot, of Kansas city, passed through the city, and preached several soul stirring sermons, there by redeeming the dignity of the gospel ministry, which had been so shamefully butchered by two men who both together would not make one good jack-leg. A visit to the Helen Gould Orphans' Home, 1447 River street, will convince any that that institution is well worthy the patronage and support of every one. It is an admitted fact that nowhere is an orphan home needed more than in Wichita, and such a home can do much to alleviate the want of many a poor, homeless colored boy or girl. We made a visit to the Helen Gould Home last Saturday, and were greatly impressed with the business like manner in which it is conducted. Mrs. H. H. Neely, Matron of the Home, and Mr. H. H. Neely, Superintendent are doing a grand work there in the interest of humanity and the race. At the home we found six bright little children, ranging in age from 3 months to 8 years. Each one seemed pleased and greeted the visitor with a smile. During the year 1901, the Home secured comfortable homes for 21 children; which was doing fine. The solution of crimes among young Negroes is in institutions as the Helen Gould House. The young boy or the young girl who is homeless is taken theoe and under the care of the pleasant and motherly influence of Mrs. Neeley, the mations, there minds are elevated to higher and noble deeds. Those taking the urchin from the street, from bad company, and, perchance saves one soul from the state peal institutions as the Helen Gould Orphant Home lies the solution of crimes among the younger class of Negroes; there uplifted the standard of the future filled and leaders of the negro race fillard and leaders of the negro race. We, as a peopol should give aid to such an institutirn and help make it one of the grandest in the west. Your Footwear Where do you buy your shoes and what do you pay for them?

A WESTERN CANADA FARMER. SEVEN YEARS AGO HE HAD BUT $24; NOW HE HAS SEVENTY HEAD OF CATTLE. ‘This 1s What = Couple of Eastern Warmers Learned When on ® Recent ‘rip to Canada—Splendia Words About Saskatoon, Rosthorn and Hague Dis- Scan ae Sica DAE cae Messrs. J. E. Blum and J. Cramper ot Manchester, Washtenaw County, Michigan, paid a visit to Alberta last summer and saw there a Mr. Shantz, one of the good old Pennsylvania stock, who had come recently—some seven years ago—from Ontario with $24 in his pocket. He has certainly prospered, as he now has over seventy head of cattle, has a good loghouse framed over; also a good barn, and in all respects looks a thrifty and well- todo farmer. He had some good crops of oats and barley. After spend- ing some days in Calgary and Ed- monton they returned to Regina, As- siniboia, and looked around the coun- try north to Lumsden and Balgonie, where the crops appeared very prom- ising and heavy; continuing up the Regina and Long Lake road they came to Saskatoon on the crossing of the South Saskatchewan River. Of this district they say: “The country here pleased us better than any we have seen. We drove out eighteen miles in a northwesterly di- rection through the Smith settlement. ‘This is a wonderful district; the growth was splendid; all kinds of grains and roots were perfection. The older settlers had good buildings of all kinds and looked very prosperous; in fact, we came to the conclusion that 'we had found what we were looking or, a good country. While the nature of the soil changes and is in some parts light, in others stony, and again heavy, generally speaking it leaves nothing to be desired. Hay and water are also in abundance and wood can be found along the river slopes and islands. We have decided to locate there and shall certainly advise our friends to do likewise. We also trust that this report may have the effect of drawing the attention of land seekers to this district, and can honestly ad- vise all such to locate there. They will find a good thing. As farmers ourselves, from a good district in Michigan, we have come to the con- clusion that, properly farmed, western Canada will grow almost anything.” Ask for information from any agent ‘of the Canadian government.

FORNALLY RECEIVED Washington, Feb. 26.—After a reeep- tion of Prince Henry of Prussia in a flower laden depot by Seeretaries Hay and Long he was taken up Pennsyl- vunia avenue to the White Honse, guarded vy a small army of police, sceret service men and detectives, wit an escorting cavalry column. The prince was escorted from the earriage tothe executive mansion by Secretary Hay and Admiral Evans. | Yhe party was conducted through the main lobby into the red parlor, ‘thence into the east room and from ‘there the prince alone was conducted ‘through the green room to the bine ‘parlor, where the president was in waiting to receive him. In conformity ‘with diplomatic etiquette, the president ‘reeeived the royal visitor in private ‘and without introduction. This was ‘made necessary by the fact that there ‘is now in the United States no repre- ‘sentative of the German nation of suf fslentiy high\ rank to present to the president a prince of the blood roya., a brother and personal representative of the German emperor, After the greetings had been extend- ed the president led the prince into the Red parior and introduced him to Mrs. Roosevelt and his daughter, Miss Alice. After a few words witl them, the royal visitor was conducted into the green room and introduced to the members of the cabinet and their ladies. Soon after the prince and his suite had gone to the Willard hotel, the president returned his call, There was no exchange of formal addresses dur- ing the visit which was strictly one of official ettiqnette although it gave op- portunity for expressions of mutual cordiality and good will between the two nations, ‘The prince and party then visited both houses of congress. ‘The dinner given to Prince Henry by President Roosevelt closed for the Jay the honors bestowed upon the royal visitor by off ca WSS FO.

He oceupied the chair as_pre- siding officer of the committee of the whole during the consideration and passage of the diplomatic and consular Dill.
