The St. Louin Globe Democrat

The M. W. Grand Lodge of F.

William Stance, First Sergeant

He was a very strict disciplinarian
and the murderer is believed to
have been one of his own troop.
We as Negroeji mus do as others
in many respects. First, serve God,
do unto our neighbors as we would
him to do unto us; secondly, get
all the wealth we can and with it
understanding will come, then we
will find ourselves men among men
with the Negro problem solved.—

The world is moving on. Senator Hoar
introduced into the Smte la<t Mondav a
bill for the erection of a monument to Ne

Let us not be impatient we will get there
after a while.—Church Herald.
Jes so Iriends but don’t you
think we could advance the cause of
raising that monument to our mar
tyred brothers by urging legislation
in the matter. Giving the Negro
“taffy” will not accomplish the
object.
A colored woman and a white
man met on the street at Beaufort,
S. C., the other day, and the path
through the mud would only permit
of one passing at a time. Neither
would waive the right to the first
place, and they both remained in
the street all day, sending for
chairs and their meals, while their
friends gathered about to watch the
“sitting match.” When the old
lady sent for her knitting the white
man concluded he did not want to
go that way, and turned back.—

NEW YEAR’S DAY.
Thus we indite our last article in
the Tribune this year. To-morrow
is the beginning of a new year.
Many friends who were with us
have passed away. Many dear ones
have also left us and gone to tha’
glorious immortality. As we look
back on the last moment of the
closing year we can only see bright
hopes in the future. Our race’s
condition is being daily bettered
in wealth, education and fame, for
which we congratulate our peoole,
and still promise as in the past
to make the Tribune a welcome
visitor to all our friends of whatever
class, race or party, firmly relying
on the Giver of all good gifts for
direction in our work. To our con
temporaries we wish them all suc
cess and a happy and prosperous
new year.
DID NO T SPEA K.
Hou. C. H. J. Taylor, the U. S.
Minister to Liberia, representing
President Cleveland’s administra
tion and sentiments did not deliver
his address as promised. The Dem
ocrats who are supporting Mr.
Cleveland * ere anxious to hear him
and had traated him, in print, as a
gentleman. The Republicans were
very anxious to hear him also, but
from different motives from the
admirers of Messrs. Cleveland and
Taylor. It is therefore to be re
gretted that Mr. Taylor did not
speak.
Tiie fact of the matter is th it the
k colored people didn't want to hear
| Mr. T aylor. They consider him as
a tool and an emissary of the party
which has covered it.-«*lf with

CALL FOR A CONVENTION.
To the Colored Citizens of Georgia-.
The matter of having a consultation meet
ing of the leading colored men of the State,
has been under discussion for some time On
the 24th day of November, 1887, a number of
gentlemen, met in the City of Macon, Ga, to
discuss the advisability of making a call. Af
ter fully considering the matter, it was unani
mously decided to invite the lea ling colord
men of Georgia, to meet in the city of Maco».
on Wednesday morning. January 25th, 1888, at
10 o’clock The chairman of that meeting, Rev.
W. J White was appointed to prepare and
issue a call for this meeting.
It is not deemed necessary to enter into de
tails in this call beyond slating that we believe
the time has come when the colored rnen of
Georgia should meet consult and agree upon
some wise course of future action, for the pro
motion of the race's welfare. After more than
2o years of freedom and its benefits, with thou
sands of our people greatly advanced from the
degration of slavery days, the colored n.en ot
Georgia find a predominating sentiment,
among their white feilow citizens, to. keep
them in a condition largely assimilating to
their condition when held In bondage But as
the darkest cloud has Its silver lining, so the
colored men of Georgia see some rays of hope
in the fact that a large number of the best
white people of the State are ready and willing
to give them a fair chance in the race of lite.
The present Chain-Gang and Penetentiary
System of Georgia is simply barbarous, and
yet no past legislature has removed this foul
blot Every attempt at improvement has
failed and as matter of fact, the helpless con
victs of the State are being made the subjects
of cruelty far beyond the limit authorized by
the statutes, even in providing for the enforce
ment of the most rigid discipline. The educa
tional facilities afforded by the State are totally
inadequate to the needs of the people and yet
the colored people are deprived ot a Just share
of the small amount provided for this purpose.
Under the Influence of an unrelenting and
senseless prejudice, the legislature at its last
session, hasconnected with the continuance of
the annual appropriation of Eight Thousand
Dollars tothe Atlanta University, conditions
which amount to a virtual withdrawal of this
money from that school This action was
taken in the face of the fact that appropria
tions to the white institutions of learning were
larger this than in former heart. The colored
men of Georgia owe it to themselves, and their
children to organize and unite their strength
with the good white people of the State for the
removal of existing evils and the securement
of more of the benefits to which theii citizen
ship entitles them- This call is addressed to all
classes of our people and we trust the people
will interest themselves in raising inonep to as
sist their leaders to attend. Ministers of the
Gospel, School Teachers, Professional Men, the
Farmer, the Merchant, the Mechanic, the Arti
zan, and the Wage-Worker, are invited to at
tend A people who will not try to help them
selves, cannot expect ethers to help them Let
us help ourselves and ask the Lord to turn the
hearts of others to our help.
KT All those intend ng to go to the
Convention are requested to forward their
n -mes to me at once so that 1 may obtain
reduced fare.
