FEBRUARY 26, 1887 ■■I" 111 " ""■■■■ The poorest specimen of a Negro is the one that thinks he cannot be honored by honors bestowed by his race. The population of the United States at the last census was 50,155,783. Deaths per day 1,349 and births per day 3,175. The United States Congress did not show much respect for the man '■ ho never told a lie, as it remained in session on the 22d instant. The pen is said to be mightier th in the svord, but in the hands of toe small boy now-a-days, nothing is so effective as the Alabama tling Senator John Sherman has re signed his office as president of the Senate, and Senator Ingalls of Kan sas has been elected to 611 the vacancy.

Its loss has been piloted by papers all over the country. The Doctor should “pnll down his vest” here after. A friend of ours remarked the other day, that his whiskers was turning gray much sc oner than his hair, when he met wi h this rejoin der that the cause was he worked his jaw harder than hia brain. A terrible earthquake occurred on Wednesday last hi Italy. Three hundred persons who had taken -refuge in a church were killed. It is estimated that the total number of deaths will reach 2000. A SPECIAL to the N. Y. Tribune says ‘‘that the 700 inmates of the Columbia, S. C. Lunatic Asylum, are fed upon meat that is unfit for food. And the butchers of that city chiitns that it is a disgrace to the commonwealth.” Simon Huge who was elected Coroner Os .Mclntosh Co.. has I died lu qualify and our old fellow-citizen Clem Sabattie will no doubt be lected by the Commissioners at their meeting in March to hold • sittings” for two years. The Atlanta Constitution siys in answer to a correspondent that ■ General John C. Fremont was born in Savaunal), Ga., J auuary 21, 1813. Hie father was a French man, who had settled at Norfolk, Va., where he supported himself leaching his native language. His Wife was a Mies Whiting, a Virgini an, who settled in Charleston, S. C. The dependent soldier pension bill has failed to become a law. The oil I had passed both houses of Congress but was vetoed by Presi dent Cleveland. On Thursday the bill was taken up again, and ou Die question “will the House pass t ie lull the President’s objections to ti.e contrary notwithstanding” The vote was 175 yeas to 125 nays, two thirds not voting in the affirmative k the motion was lo ß t. The announce ■ merit of the vote was received by r applause from the Deujpcrat*, aed hi-aea by the Republican*.

Mrs. James Brown Potter, one of the New York bon ton society ladies, who created such great ex citement by reciting the poem “Ostler Joe” at a reception given by Mrs. Secretary Whitney in Washington, has decided to go on the stage* Her managers speak of her abilities very highly. She will be the rage next season. She is already rich but loves notoriety as well as money. There can be no greater mistake made by the colored race, than to permit any motive except one involving principle purely to lead them to oppose the advancement of a fellow member of their race where an opportunity is offered him, An honest competent, colored man should receive the aid and en courageinent of his united race in every opportunity in life and when ever the colored people cease to cooperate in all worthy and proper methods for their individual as well as the general advancement of their race they begin the downward path to popular weakness and decay.— From Normal Index. IS IT TRUE? It is said that the rules of the Evening Call’s office is such that colored printers are not allowed to work there, though they be Knights of Labor. Is this true? If so, how can they be coiisistaut in their pro fession of love for “Fair play and equal chance in the race of life” for the laborer. This is an important question for not a few colored men of this city to ponder over and reflect when they continue to fur nish aid and support to a cause that recoils and strikes them down. JOHN BROWN'S MONUMENT. About fifty delegates of colored men assembled at Columbus, 0.. January 28th to devise means for erecting a monument to the memo ry of John Brown. It w«® resolved: That the people ot the United States erect a Temple of Freedom to the memory ol John Brown, and in that Temple dedicate memorial windows to Wendell Phillips, Nat Turner, Owen Lovejoy, Behj. Lun dy, Charles Sumner and all other leaders that agitated the freedom of America’s slave, that culminated in the Proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. A national convention will prob ably be called in the near future— Gate City Press, Kansas City. NEGRO BALLS IN BARIS. This month a reigning social sen SHtion is a series of Negro balls. They are under the patronage of several ladies of noble blood from Zanzibar and Ethiopia. The dark hued contingent, of Parisian society is a numerous one, and contains many families of rank and wealth. So you must believe that these balls are truly aristocratic gather ings. The supposition is that only persons of negro blood are invited. Asa matter of fact, however, near ly half of these are white. But all such have to stain their laces black for the time being. These disguised revelers are persons of the best standing m French society. I deed no less personages than Prince Waldemar and his bride, Amelia d’Orleans, attended the first of the series. Their saves were stained a rich brown, so that they looked like rather dark quadroons. Several cavaliers of the Due de Morney’s set attend all these gatherings with their hands and faces dyed, and with wool wigs over tbeir natural hair. —Ex. MA TTIIE WS‘ REJECTION. Senator Ingalls • * ♦ shows his utter incomprehensibility of the colored people of this country, and the history of the race both in this and other lands. Colored men perfectly understand that Mattuews ! was not rejected by the Senate on account ot bis color, and it is only on the ground of the denial of political liberty by a majoritv of a I Republican Senate to colored men that they firmly protest against its recent action.—-Little Rock Sun. If anything can ever have a ten dency io convert Negroes into democrats, such actions as the re jection of Matthews will fill this country north to south, from east to west with Negro-democrats. The Negro will no longer vote for tbe ( party but for the MAN. —Atlanta' Weekly News. Wo should not, however, permit the Democrats to hoodwink us with this Matthews matter. This simple ’ replacement of a Frederick Dong- j lass by one obscure ward politician is not enough to hurry us into re volt against a party which has fought our every battle and given us every right which we now enjoy. The Democrat party, were it ever so well disposed, could hardly do i for us in two years what the truly Grand Old Party has done in thirty years. Democratic charity will have to begin at home. Here they will have ample room to show even a generous spirit or fair dealing. In the local governments neither at tbe North or at the South has the coloredman been given a fair show ing. Here is an arena for reputa tion. In National politics the Dem ocratic party will never do as much for the colored man as the Republi can party has done. Pardon ns, but the colored man that expects it within the next generation is a non compos mentis. Augusta Sen tinel. THE PROSPECT OF WAR. Although the German people do not wish to do any more fighting, Bismark and Von Moltke have been trying to induce the Reichstag to increase the army by some 50,000 then, and lengthen the term of ser vice from three to seven years. But the German parliament refuses to consider the subject. This led to its dissolution and a call for a new election. Yet War in the near fu ture is regarded as inevitable. Bit marck professes io feel kindly towards Russia, and declares that it is Fiance which is waiting for tbe chance to attack tbe Father land. It is very certain that the French army is an enormous one, tuat it has been strengthened with the view of having another Wrestle with Germany, and that the fore most French inventors have been a work forging new destructive weap ons, which are calculated to give the Gallic armies an advantage over the Teutons. To help its armies, the French have almost i-uc ceeded in navigating the air. In deed, in calm weather, they have found out how to propel an aerial vessel to and from certain points, though as yet they have not been able to overcome strong wind*. The next war in Europe will be a terrible one. It will involve all the nations, and some 4,000,000 eff-ct ive men will oppose each other in deadly array. It is positively dis heartening to think of the mights efforts that are now being put forth to kill human beings when the next conflict takes place. Science and art have been enrolled in the set vice of slaughter. Let us at least hope I hat our country will keep clear of all foreign entanglements, and that We will not suffer from the operations of the armies that will be called into existence to settle the burning Eastern question.— From Demorest’s Monthly for March.
