1t has been in successful operati,n
for seventeen or eighteen Years, AMI
has already been a means of blessing
to not a few. 1t is now well estab-
lished i'll one of the healthiest local
ties in the state OF Missouri, and j.
at present presided over by Rev. j.
a. Quarles, Il former student of he
University of Virginia, and a man
admirably fitted i'll every respect for
the position. Associated with him
is a corps of most excellent and COM
petent teachers. The buildings are
commodiOus and pleasantly situated:
the curse of instruction is extensive
and thorough; and the moral and re-
ligious influences are of the best kind.
The seminary has before it a future
full of promise, aud it needs but the
hearty encouragement aud support
of the Presbyterians, and others,
among whom it is situated, to ena-
BILE it to fill up that promise, and Ia
become one of the very best inst tu-
lions i'll the state and in the country.
There are several things about this
school which deserve special com,
mendation. 1T stands solely upon ats

peals to the public for confidence and

H THIRD DISTRICT.
j. Milton Turner ms n CRndidato
fer ~COngress-A Logical Ap.
peal for llis support by
the Republican
Party,

From the st. Louis Tribune tColored Organ,
July II.
We are somewhat surprised that the
announcement that the Hon. j. Milton
Turner had consented to become a can
didate for the nomination to congress
from the third congressional district
OF this state should have created such a
stir in republican circles. We are bold
in the assertion that no republican with
In the border of this state deserves more
consideration at the hands of a republic
can convention than he; his eminent SER
vices, u%nyieldlng devotion to the party
and more than all, his known ability TO
discharge the duties appcrtainlng to a
Representative in the American congress,
cannot be questioned.
Although it is loudly asserted that
certain white republicans high in ma
chine party condolences will refuse to
lend their assent to his nomination. we
are not yet prepared until future devel-
opments establish the fact to accept it
as true.
That this weapon has been often used
by the democratic party to show that
we were unwise in paying unyielding
homage to the republican party would
under no circumstances assist our aspira-
tons to high political trust is also true.
That Mr.. Turner's candidacy tor nomi-
| nation to congress affords ample scope to
test the sincerity OF u white republi-
| can friends and to disprove the position
taken by the democratic party all fair
minded persons must agree.
That we are a large iactorln the par
tv so far as political strengths concern
ed has been fully accepted by those who
We're prominent in the late presidential
election. and it is therefore no longer
our purpose to remain as ''hewers OF
wood and drawers of water" Our po-
litlcal independence must be asserted,
and what is still more our votes must be
respected.
We cannot command respect so long
as we allow our white republican friends
to lead us BY the nose. The time has
come when we must acquit ourselves like
men and not permit our selves to be
constantly casting Il votes for those
who care nothing for US after an election
is over. We desire that our position
should be clearly stated and correctly
understood. We claim no superior In
our devotion to the republican party
and we insist as 4 matter OF right tina
when we present to that party man as
capable as Mr.. Turner is acknowledged
to be our wishes shall be consulted ant

cast our votes for the white member:
