1t Is pleasing to know that the colored
people intend to appropriately observe
the anniversary of the emancipation Of
slaves in the West Indies, by which
several thousands of colored people were
freed from bondage. 1t is, therefore,
probable that the first of january will
also be observed as the anniversary Of
the day on which four millions of slaves
were freed forever in the United States,
some Of whom are now living In this
city. The first OF January and Abra-
ham Lincoln should never be forgotten
by the colored people of America.

representatives. In this way better
men would be secured, rs there are
many men would be willing to attend
If elected, but will not enter q cam
paign where the man who spends the
most money is to be elected without
regard to his qualification, we would in
this manner ecu better men and
those selected would not be required to
spend twice the amount of their salary
for the sake of serving the dear peo-
ple."
A Japanese prince of the royal fami-
ly passed through Cheyenne, on Sun
day.. on his way to Japan, via San
Francisco. He had been to Germany for
several years to be educated, and mean
while married n German duchess, a
widow with two children. Caucasian
blood evidently prevails in the family,
as the Jap was ordered about by the
princess in a way that was highly
amusing to the spectators. The prin-
cess, by the way, is rather rather
homely and evidently about So years of
age. The prince is beardless and looks
to be 20 years of age. He had a Japan
ese servant, and she a German maid
servant. Some of the passengers seem
to think that the servants will make a
match of it, too.
