An Irish woman entered one of the Ma
tional Banks in Providence the other day,
and presented a check at the cashiers desk.
The cashier looked at her and said, po-
litely: "Madame, you must getidentifed."
"Faith, an what's that ?" "Why, you see,
YOU are a stranger to me. 1 don't know
you" "Will thin, I'm proud to introduce
mesilf to yez My names Sary MacFlinn,
an I'm not ashamed of it" "Well, but
you see cannot tell whether you are the
person whose name is on the check, said
the cashier, too polite to tell her that per
haps she was lying about it. can what
did ye sayI must do?" Identify your
self Bring some one here that knows

life, and by the purchase of a Scholarship the
full Collegiate Course can be had at about the
same low rates charged in the Preparatory

To the Editor CoLoRED PATRIOT:
The M. X. & L. r. r. traverses the
Indian Territory from the line oi
Kansas to Denver, Texas. This
may be deemed a sort of exclusive
right, inasmuch as the Government
has not seen fit to grant similar
right Of way to other railroads. To
this extent it is monopoly. Now
this franchise, valuable as it is. can
not be successfully utilized until this
vast country, through which this
road passes, has been settled and its
agricultural resources developed, III
other words, what this road most
needs now, is way freight" which is
always more profitable than Through
freight. The Indians are not good
railroad patrons, and hence the de-
sire Of the Railroad to seize what IS
known as the Oklahoma territory
and settle it up by such persons as
would bring grist to their mill. Cap
tain Payne under railroad inspiration
attempted to invade the territory, but
with poor success: since that time
the railroads have been casting about
for new agencies; and they believe
they have found the agencies in the
cooperation of the members Of the
A. Nj. E. Conference. | say \. NJ

A MASS MEETING OF COLOKED
MEN.
REso1uT1cNs OF INDIGNATION.

Pursuant to call a large number Of
colored voters met in West End hall,
corner of Clay and King sts. Wednes-
day night, to express their Indignation
at the course of certain men with re-
gard to the candidacy of Alfred Fair
fax end other matters of Importance
to the race. Fl Barnes was elected
chairman and F. r. McKinlay secreta-
ry. Speeches were made strongly
condemning the conduct Of certain
men whose names appear in the reso-
lutions. The Speeches Of E. H. White
Of the PATRIOT and NJ. Mukes were
especially pointed and we're met with
shouts Of applause.
Messrs. McKinlay, Mukes, and
Holmes were appointed committee
on resolutions to express the sentl-
ments of the meeting. They report
ed as follows, and the resolutions pre-
sented were unanimously endorsed:
Whereas, We, the citizens of the
Third ward Of the city of Topeka, de-
sire to secure for Alfred Fairfax, the
candidate put in nomination for con-
gresham at large by the state con-
vention of May 31st, fair and un-
hampered trial for nomination before
the state congressional convention to
be held in this city June 28th; and,
WHEREAS, We have reason to believe
that certain self-styled leaders. whose
corrupt practices in past elections
Justly consigned them to infamy, are
trying again to get the confidence OF
honest men by pretending to aid Mr.
Fairfax; and
WHEREAS, We have no faith in their
professions, but believe them hourly
plotting against our honor and liber-
ties, and that they have already ar
ranged the terms Of sale of Mr.. Fair
fax's strength in the convention OF
June 28th; and
WHEREAS, we believe that the un-
warranted and malicious attack made
by W, L. Eagleson, L. Fulbright and
A. P. Smith upon the CoLoRED PATRIOT
was preconcerted plan to destroy
the only sentinel we have in the state,
that they might the more safely from
exposure, carry on their mercenary
practices at the expense of our polite
al honor; therefore be it
Resolved, That we regard the re-
cognition Of these men in our coun-
sells as dangerous to our politica
rights and our honorable relations
with society; that We pledge ourselves
to do all in our power to purge oul
political action of their pernicious in
fuence.

ed to protect. | am informed that
the first move to be made OIL the
chess board is to induce the Attorney
General to render an opinion upon
the question, whether the lands
sought. belong to the Government
or to the Indians. Now fit should
be decided that these lands belong to
the Government, and therefore open
to settlement as other public lands
every acre of available land would be
gobbIed up in less than ninety days
by white settlers and the cOlortd
people for whom so much is being
said and so littleis being done, would
occupy the position they now do.
If on the other hand, it should be
determined that these lands are part
of the Indian reservation, Congress
could not by purchase or otherwise,
make them the exclusive property OF
the colored people without serious
inconvenience and perhaps disaster,
to the very class of people sought to
be benefited. The truth Is, no con-
siderable number of colOred people IN
Kansas or elsewhere sustain this
movement. Its whimsical, and will
not receive the endorsement OF intel
ligent men, either white or cOlored.
An amusing incident occurred when
these self styled "Delegates"' were
introduced to His Excellency Ches-
ter A Arthur, and their mission ex-
planned to him. Senator Plumb who
felt it his duty to present these gen
tlempn, made very peculiar speech
on that occasion. He said among
other things, that they were a mod
erately industrious class. had not
filled the penitent:aries to any con-
siderable extent, and closed his very
unique syeech by repeating the adj
vice which, he said he had given
them many time before, leave
the cities ard engage i'll agriculture,
in short, endeayor to make an honest
living" Now this singular speech
must have grated harshly on the
feelings Of my friend Fairfax, who is
a candidate-at-large for congress and
who expects, ere long, to contest
with the Hon. Senator for the dis
tinction of the patronage of the state,
but the proprieties of the occasion
REQUIRE that he should remain silent,
Mrs. Wilson, a broad hearted phil
anthropist, is here, doing all in her
power to move things, but thus far,
without success. Mr.. Plumb is accus-
ed by the delegation Of having desert
ed them, when in fact he never was
in sympathy with them. He treated
them as he would have treated any
other Kansas men, white or black.
am told that this colored delegation
are reporting it around here tha
they represent the will of the colore(
people Of Kansas in what they ask for
They further state that the colore(
people Of Kansas are starving fo
bread. A member of congress from
our state told me that he had hearC
such reports from them, and wanted
to know if the same were true. See
ing that they are ''busted" now il
their undertaking, they will leav
Washington, wiser if not better men
We want no class legislation: tn
laws which govern white men ar
good enough for u.s. When we asl
for special Legislation for us we onl
show that we are inferior to the whit,

admit. This Delegation has accom-
plished nothing, as might have beer
expected, and will leave for Kansa
