National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1881-06-17

TIE North Carolina colored Republi-
cans are right in asking some recogni-
tion for their contribution of three
fourths of the votes of the party at the
ballot-box. Their complaint to the Presi-
dent on Wednesday was the voice oftheir
late State convention. 1t also voiced the
wishes and just claims of the eolored peo-
pie throughout the South. The race is
growing in knowledge, in the disposition
to acquire property, and in an apprecia-
ton of equal rights. 1t has able and in
teIligent representative men in every
State. If the Republican party does not
learn to realize these facts it may some
day lack the black mans confidence and

The Republican party has completed
its twenty-five years of fglorious existence,
and it has sent US here to prepare it for
smother lnstrum of duty and of victory.
How shall we accomplish this great
work? We cannot do If, my friends, By as
sailing oar Republican brahren.-Jdnaes h.

WHAT IS FAME7
Fame? 1t is 10 visit Europe,

fane! II Is 10 Visit europe,
Study art a while in Rome,
Paint, perhaps, a dozen pictures.
Get your name up and come home;
Then 10 have the neighbors ask you
When they see your masterpiece,
Does the kDaek of painting pictures
Take much time and elbow grease ?"
Fame? 1t is to keep on painting,
Keep on writing if inclined,
TIL the world that lies beyond you
Your position has defined.
II is labor, Till your pictures
Are exchanged for so much gold.
TIL your poems. like potatoes,
In the market can be sold.
After you have climbed the ladder
From the very lowest round,
Then the neighbors pat your shoulder
And your fulsone praises sound,
After having. with your talent.
Learned the money-making art,
Then they say, I'VE always loved you;
Always said thai you were smart"

But in order to win victory now we
want the vote of every Republican-of

Poison

But are liquors poisoned? OF course
they are. Four -ffths of all the liquors drunk in
Cincinnati, including wine, beer, and cider, are
poisoned. And these poisons are not confined to
common drinks, such as whisky and beer; they
extend to the aristocratic drinks that are most
costly. The French wines are nearly all adulter-
ated, and contain poison. They are not real wines
but imitatons-C Cincinnati GazeHe

Star Routes VS.. Express Companies.


Let it be remembered that as fast as
postal facilities are withdrawn in the
sparSely-settled regions of the Western
and Southwestern States and Territories
the business of express companies will
be built up. This is an immense
private interest, in direct conflict
with liberal postal policy, and
1t can afford to furnish all the weapons
for raid against star routes in gen.
eral Al mail routes off from the
line of railroad and steamboat travel
are called star routes. Every citizen
who does not live at a railroad Sta
ton or a steamboat landing receives his
mail by star route" The people who
get their mail by steamboat and rail do
not domaud that mall facilities shall be
denied to all others nor do they demand
that stage lines shall only carry the
mails once or twice week.
Uncle Sam is rich enough to accom-
modate all his nephews and nieces by
taking letters and newspapers to them
with reasonable speed and frequency,
and he will not smile on his Postmaster
General if he turns them over to the ten
der mercies OF express companies, which
charge ten cents or more for every letter.

There are obvious advantages n a
moustache. The kiss that comes from moustached
hips is generally more relished by the fair sex.
Besides this it is an adornment to most faces. 1t
