SHAW, THE NEGRO DEMOCRAT.


Mr.. J. w. Shaw, of the New York
Suffragist, who has the exclusive right
to the unenviable distinction of being
the only Negro Democratic editor
north of Mason and Dixon's line, has
been in indianapolis in the last ten
days. contributing his mite towards
the success of the Democratic ticket
in this State. Mr.. Shaw is quite an
anomaly, politically speaking, and
as anomalies rarely ever pan out
very handsomely in politics, we in
cline to the opinion that the Democ-
racy have not made their calling and
election sure by the presence of
this colored Democrat on the scene of
action. Governor Hendricks, and
Mr.. Shaw delivered speeches at the
Wigwam Monday night to fair
audience of whites, interspersed
with few colored people, drawn
hither by curiosity to see what
colorcd Democrat could have the
cheek to say. At the close of Mr..
Hendricks, speech Mr.. Shaw was
brought to the front, and placed on
exhibition by stage Manager Jordon,
after which he broke loose in the
usual Democratic style, beginning on
Bass Shepard and winding up on
Belknap, without any allusion what
ever to his distinguished fellow demo-
Gratis, Bosses. Tweed, Sweeny 4 Co.
Shaw is an average talker, but his
speech was nothing more than the
usual Democratic whine about
"fraud and eruption" and an ap-
peal tothe people to give them the
offices. The Sentinel, the Democratic
organ, disposes of the speechin two
or three sentences, evidently fearing
that it would not suit the Democratic
mind to read the speech of a mig
GER" after having read what Hen
bricks had to say. Upon the whole,
Mr.. Shaw as Democrat is failure.
But the fact that he is failure is not
discreditable to him, for we do not
think any intelligent Negro can con.
sistently and sincerely be Demo-
crat, and morally speaking, no man
can be successful in any undertake
ing when he lacks sincerity and con-
sistency. There is nothing that can
make an American Negro, sincere
Democrat. By force, fraud, and
murder, he may be compelled to act
with the Democracy in the South,
but in the North the negro who
allies himself with that party must
necessarily be liable to suspicion as
to the sincerity of his motives. The
Democratic party is not and has not
been friendly to the iterests of our
race, and it matters not through what
means they may secure the assistance
ola few Negro politicians, they can
never hope in their present shape to
secure the assistance of the colored
vote in the State of Indiana. The
Democracy must come to the Negro;
we can never 60 to them.

SALUTE.
The Premature Discharge Of u Cannon
Injuries Two Men.

Providence seems to frown upon the repub-
lican Publications. In the Geographic col
umns will be seen the account of an accident
whereby two men were fatally injured. The
salute fired in Helena last evening came 10 a
disastrous end. The jubilant republicans, in
their enthusiasm, became so excited that they
commenced to load the hswitzer without
having swabbed it out properly, and the re-
suit was q premature explosion, whereby sew
eral of the colored men were injured.
James Crump stood almost directly in front
of the piece and got the full benefit of the
charge. In a moment his clothing was all
ablaze. His companions rushed to his rescue
and soon e%xtinguished the flames. DR.. Bull
lard was called and found both arms badly
bruised. and cut. A lot of the powder had
cut and burned his head and cheek. The
physician thinks he will recover the use Of
both eyes and his arms all right. Alex.
Moore, colored, also got his neck and left
cheek full Of powder, but was not seriously
injured.-lndependent.

The Herald Of Monday afternoon contained
what purported to be . teleeraphic report Of
one of Sanders meetings in Glendale. Our
very highly esteemed cotem. put an elaborate
head OIL the ''telegran'' aud called it y "spe
dispatch to the Herald" 1t being well
known that Glendale has no Geographic COM
inunieation with any part Of the territory,
and that Uncle Sans mail affords the most
expeditions means by which news can he
transmitted to and. from the Beayerhead
camp, the very interesting question arises:
How does the Herald in its issue of the 18th
publish a special dispatch from Glendale dat
ed tho 18th? 1t is obviously an impossible
feat even for a mighty paper like the Helena
Herald. This ridiculous mistake on the part
Of our beloved cotem. may be accounted for
in one of two ways: Either the Herald de-
liberately manufactures its reports Of San
ders' "lsousing~ Receptions and "Grand Re
publican Rallies" or Mr.. Sanders himself is
the author Of them. He perhaps knew when
he would be in Glendale, and taking time by
the forelock sent q glowiug account Of his
eloquent speech and triumphant welcome just
in time for the Herald to print it as a especial
dispatch" The soaring intellects Of the
hydra. headed Herald will now explain by
what honorable means they are endeavorlng
to work up the sickly boom for Sanders.

The republican aWah Hoss," Wilbur F.

harangued a small audience last night in
Metlin's hall. Previous to entering the hall
a bonfire was built in the centre of Main
street and all anvil was fred several times. "A
prominent republican, when ready to explode
the charge of powder, delivered himself with
a grand flourish of the following speech:
"Here's to 20 years of republican power
and four years more."
No report followed the Speech, therefore.
Judging from that experiment, the "four
years more" will be a fzzle. There was NOT
much enthusiasm displayed, except when
Sanders referred to the recent republican
gains in Indiana. Then our Hoosier ele.
ment applauded heartily, forgetting for the
time that the speaker was the attorney who
is alleged to have advised certain parties tc
jump the Hecla %company's mill site and

works are in running order. The 1500-foot
tsamway leading from the mine has been
completed, and ore is now regularly shipped
over the track. The iiggers and vanners are
doing excellent work, and the reverberatory
furnaces, in which the ore goes through the
desulphurizing process, are found to work to
perfection. Considerable pulp has accumu-

that 1t has finally started up we may expect
that some copper matte shipments will soon
be made to the refineries of the east.

Editor Butte MINER: s
The weekly MINER, so full of life, vim and
enterprise, does not 60 on file in my Office
until some old prospectors of Montana, tenn
porarily stopping here, peruse its contents,
not even committing the advertisements. As
for myself, I always notice the advertisements
i'll a newspaper, as by these I can judge Of the
make up and enterprise Of the merchants in
the place where the paper is published.
Show me a man who ~methodically and lib
erallv advertises and | can show you a live
man in his o and a good merchant. And
nothing is SO economical In printers ink as q
good place in a good newspaper attractively
filed. Hand bills and signs on barns and
fences have seen their day. The New York
Herald of yesterday morning contained $500
different advertisements and 1872 columns of
fine type, the price of which is nothing less
than 81 a line, and from that to 81. Five of our
largest retail houses disburse over $1,000
a piece for one day of Sunday advertising.
Now these men owe their succ IS to printers
ink, and claim that the moment they should
stop advertising that day their business COM
nences to drop. Mr.. Warner, proprietor of
the Safe Kidney cure, informs me thai he dis
bursed $135 600 before one dollar in orders
came back. But now his receipts are $4,000
q day. A. T. Soule, the Hop Bitters man,
who sailed for Europe on Saturday, and who
| is q townsman of Warmers, informed me that
he had just concluded q six months contract
for $4,000 a month with one of the largest
advertising firms in the country. He adver-
tised when he gave the Hop Bitters prize at
| Washington of $1,000, which Hanlon won,
and is now advertising when he intends CIV
ing another $1,000 to accompany the cham
pionship belt which Hanlon and Trickett row
for next month. 1t Is estimated that there
are over 100000 in bets pending on the re-
suit Of that race, with Hanlon a favorite.
Saturday was q gala day for the citizens Of
the metropolis, it being the day decided on
for laying the corner stone Of the obelisk,
The obelisk is IN exact counterpart of the
