DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY .WORKING, NOVEMBER 23, IRRfi. the colored man in congress. Jlcm the Negro IIhk l'rnveil Eiii'i|U»l to till' Wor'i of l.rirlslntloii. Now York Enterprise, negro organ. There is something significant in the de feat of Messrs. O’Hara of North Carolina, and Smalls of South Carolina. These two gentlemen have occupied seats in congress as representatives of the African race a number of years. Both Messrs. Smalls and O’Hara'have been until this year repeated! v returned to congress. Just why Mr. Smalls should have not been defeated before now lies in the fact that the black voters In his district are in the majority, and that Smalls, though ignorant him- iself, was just smart enongh to gain the confidence and support by his outward .seeming and flattery. His record in con gress Is anything but complimentary. There is not a single instance in his politi cal history as a member ot congress where he has ever put forth a measure to promote the interest of his race. We are told he was more a target for ridicule than a statesman : we are told also that he could always be found ia low grog Bhops loung ing around on lager beer kogs, while the other representatives were enjoying the esteem of society at their hotels, and other respectable places. This is a nice record with which to seek a re-election to a seat that a man of learn ing and self-respect should occupy. Mr. O’Hara’s record was little better than Mr. Small’s. We do not know of his patronizing grog-shop lunch counters, and telling plantation yarns in negro dialect. Although he did not do much for his race while in congress, he commanded respect as a representative. A congressman can do a great deal to elevate the African race, and when we elect one we expect him to do what he can toward that end. It ap pears that whenever a representative of our race is placed in office, he forgets all about the race until the time for re- election. What did Bruce do, either as a senator or register of the treasury? What did Smalls or O’Hara do ? What have all the rest done ? Comparatively nothing. If that is to be the order of things, it is better to send white men to represent us and let the black men stay at home; the white men will surely pity our condition and help us some, as the record shows. But we will lose confidence in our black repre sentatives, because we believe if the right person was sent to congress, say a black man from New York, something will be -done to better the condition of the Africo- Americans. We shall expect a little more from Mr. Abbott, who was elected to con- gaess from the second district of North Carolina, than we got from Bruce, Smalls. O’Hara and the rest. He will be the only black man among the army of white men, .but he can make Rome howl if he has a mind to. A TIMELY RESCUE From a Mont Fearful Death. The Wilmington (Del.) Morning News of .'September 8th, 1886, gives the following histo y of a prominent business man’s plucky fight and terrible experience with that much-dreaded and always to be feared disease, cancer: Some five years ago a barber accidentally cut my lower lip while shaving me. The pain was very slight, and for some time hardly gave it a passing thought. Finally it assumed the condition of a wart, which refused to heal entirely with all ray efforts in that direction. I went to one of the leading physicians in Philadelphia, who treated me three months f ..r cancer, and sont me home cured, as he said. But I was apprehensive. I was told by a promi nent physician of Wilmington that I would surely die of cancer. About that time I heard of the wonderful cures effected by .Swift’s Specific, known as S. S. S. I was suffering with perfect nervous piostration. After I had given S. S. S. a fair trial this all disappeared, and I felt like myself again. I continued to take the Swift’s Specific medicine regularly for several months,and before I could realize how it came about, I was a new man again. In fact I was cured —never felt better in my life, and from that time up to the present I have never felt the least evidence of a return of my old trouble. The cancer disappeared over a year ago, but I refrained from making the cure public before this, as I wished to be ■certain that I was cured. My condition is perfectly normal; I have none of those annoying symptoms which foil wed e ery ■other treatment ured. I honestly believe that I have been cured of one of the worst afflictions that can be visited upon the human family, and by the medicine known :as S. S. S. I do not wish my name to ap pear in this connection, for business reasons only, bu you are at liberty to give my name and address to any fellow-suf ferer, or anyone interested in the cause of humanity.

Representative Kleiner Tells lion II llus Injured the Democracy. Washington Star. Representative Kleiner, of Indiana, who refused to be a candidate at the last elec tion, and therefore voluntarily retires from public life at the end of the present con gress, is positive in the opinion that the control of the federal patronage lias been a drawback to.the democracy. Speaking to a Star reporter to-day, he said: T would be glad to see all power in relation to the bestowal of patronage taken away from congressmen. It seems to me that manyot the federal offices might be made elective, but at any rate members of congress should be relieved of all responsibility in con nection with giving them out. Now,! deter mined sometime ago not to be a candidate for re-election, and publicly proclaimed luy intention. Hence, for some mouths back, I could not be charged with a selnsn motive in distributing tlie patronage ot my district. I have honestly endeavored to follow public sentiment, so tar as l could ascertain it. in recommending ap pointments. Iu the way of postoilloes i got my district in good shape belore tnc campaign began lug a little store. Each wants the postoffioe and makes a hot llgh’ for it: and when the applicant whu gets the largest number of resident - of the vicinity to sign his petition is given the office the others sulk and complain, alley will say that the man appointed hud not done ns much for the party as they hail respectively. The disappointed ones sym pathize wilh each other and get the sym pathy of relatives and friends, and pretty soon the congressman finds that he has made enemies because of an appointment that was scarcely considered worth hav ing. Then there are applicants for foreign missions, consulates, etc., who refuse to believe that their congressman cannot get the places for them. You see, when the democratic party came into power there were a great many of its members who thought they ought to have office, and there have not been offices enough to go round. These people began with the congressman of their distinct. They could reach him better than any of the authorities at Washington, and he has been incessantly plied for office. It is no wonder to me that the house was charged with inefficiency last session. The demo cratic members were kept so constantly engaged in looking for places for constitu ents that they had no time to give legis lative subjects consideration. I know that I found it impossible to keep the run of current business. The great, reform we could bring about would bo to free sena tors and representatives from all responsi bilities as to the distribution of offices.
