The Colored Republicans in
Earnest:
The demand of the colored peo¬
ple of substantial recognition at
the hands of tho Garfield adminis¬
tration is pronounced and emphatic.
They do not propose to go back to
the door of the White llouso and
Hold out a trembling band, while
they humbly beg for a few tiny
crumbs of Executive patronage.
The duv for that sort of a thing is
in an old almanac. The timid,
skulking,apologetic air of tnc.plan¬
tation negro is a thing of tradition.
The colored Republican of this
era has learned, from his German
brother, that there is such a thing
as the balance of power. He has
learned that a beggarly air secures
but a beggar’s pittance. He cringes
and supplicates no more, but stands
erect and demauds as his rights a
fair, equitable division of the fruits
of victory.
All over the country the colored
voters are rising up am) saying to
the President-elect that ho owes
his election to their fealty-. They
point to Indiana and. show that
their vote carrird that State for Por¬
ter in October and for Garfield in
November. They show that, had
they voted with the Democracy in
Ohio, that State, too would have
been lost to General Garfield. And
in the Empire State they prove
that, if thev had given their votes to
Hancock, he would have bad New
York, with its thirty-five electorial
votes, be a majority of 28,Oik).
These are weighty facts. The bal¬
ance of power in the hands of
these men is a tremendous force.
They have saved the Republican
party in the past, and they can
run it in any future campaign. No
wonder that thev speak with firm¬
ness nnd decision.
“Give us a place in your Cabi¬
net,” is their imperative demand.
”We will no longer be put off with
A cold lunch on the back stoop.
We must have a seat of honor at
the Republican family board.

w hen we cease to vote for your can.
didaioii,*' This is the style in which
sent the name of Senator Bruce for
a Cabinet portfolio, and they for¬
tify their demand by such logic as
mmngtm /b«i,
“We Nmr Admtbte.”
In a rmni issue of the New
York Shilling LUf we find the
following on the merchants who
never advertise t “There U a ola»»
f business men, or rather men in
business—forthere is a distinction
with a difference—who persistently
refuse to advertise in a paper.
When bucIi people are approached
for an advertisement, which may
return its cost ten or a hundred fold
they have a stereotyped reply, ‘We
never advertise; our business is
large enough, and we don’t care
about extending it.’ And yet these
verj r same men, whenever their in¬
terests are threatened or attacked
by injurious legislation, are foremost
in solicting the aid of the press, and
imploring its influence in defeating
the obnoxious measures. It never
possibly occurs to them that the in¬
fluence which can avert or change
legislation is not less powerful in
directing the currents of trade to
those houses most deserving of it by
their superior enterprise intelligence
and liberality.”
Advice to Yount; Mon.
Dr. Prime, of New York, has very
iittlo sympathy to waste upon
young men who get their education
by forced loans from relatives. He
says to an earnest young fellow,
who wants an education, but can¬
not afford to pay for it: “The way
of the world now is for you to look
ubout and see what you can do to
help yourself. Grind your own
axe. Support yourself by honora¬
ble industry, and cam your bread
while you improve the odds and
ends of time in study. When you
get something ahead, use it to sup¬
port yourself while you learn. Ten
thousand men are now serving their
generation with usefulness and
honor who never asked anybody to
grind an axe for them.”
This is very sensible advice. The
young men of this country, as a rule,
aro helped altogether too much.
If the;, i,. .1 the right stuff in them,
they can get the education which
they need without begging and bor¬
rowing.
