William Stance, First Sergeant of Troop F. Ninth Cavalry (col ored) U. S. A., was shot between Omaha and Fort Robinaon, where he was stationed, on Monday night. 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.— Cleveland Globe. The world is moving on. Senator Hoar introduced into the Smte la<t Mondav a bill for the erection of a monument to Ne gro soldiers and sailors who gave their Fives for preservation of the government. 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.— Inter-Ocean. 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 ignominy t y its defence of slavery and by being in power to-day by h supprepsi'-u of tele freedom of speech am + ’ l ‘j a virtual suppression of the colored vote.

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.
