A 17-yeab-old girl in Winfield. Kan. has been married and divorc ed four times, and she is now look ing tor leap vear victims. The Union Grand Lodge ot Mas : one of Florida, are in session this week at Jacksonville. Several hu dred delegates are present. Senator Blair has introduced a bill in the Senate which appropri ates S6OOOOO to he Colored Nati onal Exposition to be held tn Allan J ta. St. Philip’s a. M. E. Church. Rev.S. ti. Robertson, pastor, rai-ed the largest amount ot dollar money of any church in this State. The amount being $750. It is said that President Cleve land has selected Mr. C. I, Arm stead, a colored Democrat of Miss issippi, as Counsel to Liberia, to succeed C. H. J. I'aylor, E-q. Hon. John Sherman, has intro duced a bill in the Senate, appro priating $200,000 to reimburse the losses sustained by deoositors in the failure of the Freedman’s savings bank. The Echo i* the name of a new weekly paper published at Griffin, Ga.. by Mr. A. S. Bo\ ntoii, who in his salute ory says, that he will en deavor to give hi- friends a clean • bright and newsy journal We are piea-ed lo note that ihe progressive young men oi Atlanta, will be largely represented in the convention on the 25th. What steps the young men ol this city have taked in the matter, We do not know, but hope they will arouse themselves, and come up to the “quilting.’’ Tub proposition to whip the tramps found around Jacksonville, Fla., is objected to by the Southern Leader. For as Bro. Menard very rightly says; if carried into effect, would be “confined to colored per sons.” Seaervl colored men in Pickens County, 8. C., lynched a white man named Wolthrcp, last week, for cnmnally assaulting a thirteen years old colored girl who died from the effects of her injuries. We are apposed to lynch law in any shape, but in this case the victim ■eemed to have met a just fate. This papery chief mission is not to make war on individual Rvpnb- Ijcans. There has been quite too much of hat th*- past eight vears b^tepiibhcait journals.

At Galveston. $1,000,000 has been expended in budding a mill. All this vast expenditure of capital has been the means of giving employ ment to thousands of people, and the result has been that the work ing people of the South have bet te«ed their condition. Ail the re onrees of the Southern states are rapidly being developed, and if this activity continues, the New South in a few years will be the great ri val of the North in the commercial world- Demorest’s Monthly. The Globe is the only general newspaper owned and edited by a col red man in the United Hates Cleveland Globe. Brother Jones is mistaken as to the Globe being the only “general newspaper owned and edited by a colored man ” Why, the Savan nah Tribune goes further than the Globe and says that it is one ol but tew colored p pers in th ■ United States that is < wned, edited mid primed by c >lored men. Can the Globe adopt the amendment. Senator Sherman criticised the President message in an able argil ment on Wednsday last. He clas-rd it aa ‘an extraordinary message,” and as a complete failure in calling attention to facts a* they really ex ist. The Senator Says that the fears of the •’•Hirplus in theTteasu ry, ’ which alarms the President, would not exist, it the needs of the Nation is attended to, such as the Blair Educational Bill, River and Harbor improvements, the De pendent Pension Bill, new public buildings and other ; pprouriations for nation d objects. COLORED NEWSPAPERS. A gentleman asked us recently why it is that colored newspapers do not show stronger signs of the literary culture known to exist itnong th ■ Negio race. We did not answer him then but undertake to answer his question, at least in part, from our own observation. To begin with, our people have but a poor conception of the value of their own newspapers, and no | matter how many of them they may read they have not learned to swear by them. Secondly, the men who puldish Negro oewswpa pers are witlmu exception as far hh we know, poor men, and are therefore unabla to pav for the clhs of correepomTenca mid other matter to make areal first class newspaper The editors have to spend most ot their time hunting the inonev to make the wheels go around, and lor that reason, can do little or nothing in a literary sense. They are com pelled to pay high prices f»r paper because they can buy but little at a time; they Hie always at a disadvan tage in the race for patronage lie cause they only publish news that interests themselves alone while oth er papers print news of all classes. Third, they generally refuse the filthy sensational gossip that is found in so many of dailies under the head of news—and we assert right here without fear of even attempted contradiction, that the Negro secular press of the Uni ted States taken as a whole, is the the most pure moraly of any out side the religious. he morbid ap petitesof thousands, crave ?• sensa tional paper. The Negro editor refuses to p«nder to that taste and looses accordingly. Most of the Negro scholars are teachers and pieacbers and not one in twenty of these care h fig for a race paper unless that paper is continually puffing them, whether they de sei Ye it or not, and can not afford to write articles “for nothing.” The Negro scientist is yet in em bryo. Il he h.® a theory hr >s alraid to present it. It hr has an opinion that tuns contrai v to some two by four politician-, he is h.m inered into the earth. If the color cd editor d res to sav that he d wands for his race the sone chance in life that other people havt equality in the state st hoois, <>n tln-j common convrvances ol the couetrv I he is “too soon,” even l»y soar- <<! his own t lo >d. Tile- pooi Negro newsp .per mao standing between p«vetly and >i preca inns living, ah ng irs along and having spent all ot hi® limned means and most of the energy 7 with which he started yields up the ghost and bears the funeral dirge of his beloved paper in the “told you Sos” of those who never gave him a penny lor bis paper. The race, however, is getting bet ter in this respe it and we think tiie day is not far distant when the newspapers published by colored men. will not o-dy be known as the defenders of the race but will also be supported for their intrinsic worth. —Amer.
