Platform OF the National COlOred Con.
yentiOn.

The National Convention of Colored Men
recently in session at Louisville, KY, con-
cluded its laborS by the adoption of the fol
lowing resolutions:
The National Convention of Colored men
respectfully present the following as embrac-
ing and representing their views and senti
mentS:
l. That we are grateful for and rejoice in
the miraculous emancipation that came to
our race twenty years ago. The shock of en-
battled arms was the lullaby of the Nation
born in day. We don't we can't, forget the
great sacrifice Of the women and the heroic
men who made possible the struggle i'm which
treason and slavery were consigned to com
mon sepulcher. If we did we would be I'M
mindful of the measure of devotion and pat
riotism that the white and colored soldiers
rendered the Nation.
2. We are not insensible to the fact that the
Congress of the United States has spread upon
the statute books many laws calculated to
make us secure in our rights as citizens: nor
amendments to the Constitution intended to
render forever impossible the crime of human
slavery.
8. We do not ask any more class legislation
We had enough of this; but we do believe
that many of the laws intended to secure us
our rights as American citizens are nothing
more than dead letters. In the Southern
States, almost without exception, the colored
people are denied justice in the courts de-
MED the fruit of their honest labor, defraud-
ed of their political rights at the ballot-box.
their civil rights by innkeepers and common
carrier companies and left b. States to an in
adequate opportunity for education and gen.
eral improven emit
4. We regard labor on the question of edu-
cation and moral training as paramount to
all other questions. We believe that the cues
ton, especially in the South, needs recasting,
and that plantation credits and the mortgage
system should be abolished. Honest labor
should be remunerated. The landholders
of the South should recognize that this
question is to be solved by encouraging the
negroes to industry, frugality, and bust
ness habits. by melting them to habits of
thrift, by assisting them to acquire an inter-
est in the soil, by paying them honest wages
for honest work, and by making them con-
tented and happy in the land of their nativ-
lty. The white men and owners of the soil of
the South can settle the question of labor
and capital between white and black We
believe in q broad and comprehensive system
looking toward the education OF young colored
girls so that they may become intelligent and
faithful women, and that young colored boys
may learn trades and become useful men and
good citizens. The religious and moral train
ing of the youth of our race should not be
neglected. The hope of every people is adj
herence to sound social and ethical princi-
pies The moral element in the character is
OF greater value than wealth or education,
and this must be fostered by the family and
encouraged by the pulpit

Serious Accident to the John b. Doris
Circus.

SEDALIA, Mo-, Sept. q.
The John B. Doris circus railroad train
met with an accident near Boonville, No.,
this morning, which entailed a loss of nearly
$4,000. Something wrong about the rails
at the crossing of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas and the BoonvilIe & Versailles
branch threw three cars of the track.
Twelve horses were killed and others
wounded. Two splendid chariots, valued
at 5000 each, were ruined. Two brothers
named Thomas, employees of the circus,
who were sleeping in one of the chariots,
were badly injured, and one of the men is
reported to be dangerously hurt. The show
arrived here to-day in time to give exhibit
tions.

THE PATHFINDER.
General Fremont's Letter to the Colorado
Pioneers.

II was hoped that General Fremont would
be present at the pioneers reunion at Jewell
Park, Denver, on the 18th, but he found him
self unable to attend and addressed the follow
ing letter to the association:
sth OF September, 1888. :
Your letter inviting me to join In the &C ebra-
tion OF the twenty-fifth year OF the sett IN tnt
Of the country which now constitutes Jour
State has given me much pleasure. II gave
me a grateful satisfaction to know that my
brother pioneers retain so kind and friendly a
recollection of my journeyings over the ground
where they have made pleasant homes and
built up prosperous communities. Here In this.
the worlds busiest spot, your letter came to
me with the cool breezy afr from the familiar
mountains as used to know them In their
grand solitudes, when spent among them the
peasantest years Of my life, the years to which
look back with inefaceable pleasure. In the
short space of little more than generation 1t
has happened to me to see the country which
had Travelled over an unoccupied aud desert
waste, swept over by populations organizing
State after State, crystalizing into great cities
and spreading the active intelligence and re-
fnements Of the day from the Missouri river to
the Pacific ocean. Over prairie and mountain
the populations, with their cities and villages,
their school houses and railroads, seemed to
spring up from the ground like the yearly
crops. In this mornings paper We read OF the
uhulARe 10 Tue corn upon
which so much Of the country's prosperity for
the year depends, over great regions where =
few years ago the only crops were the rosts
and seeds gathered by the Indian women, who
themselves, with their wild crops and wild life
and lodges, have disappeared from the face Of
the country.
i have never seen your City OF Denver,
which reports say is 40 hourishing and beauti-
full. When passed there last Il wxs waste
ground where It would have been = stretch of
Imagination to found city. II would be most
agreeable to me to make my nrst visit to II on
such an occasion as that To which you invite
me. 1t would be one on which !, too, would
be revolving many memories. But am com
PEELED, and with sincere regret, TO reserve the
pleasure OF q visit to . later day. Just now II
Is not possible for me to relieve myself from
the trammels Of occupations here.
Meantime wish to make you, and through
you TO your associates, my very cordial
thanks for the satisfaction and pleasure your
invitation and kindly recollection have given
me. Yours truly, J. c. FREMosT.

Tho Body Of = Murdered Man Found In .
Guich, Near Gunnison.
A special to the Denver Tribune gives
an account Of the finding Of dead body in =
wild gulch some twenty-five miles west Of Gun
nison. The body was first found by Daniel 8.
Brown, who sent word to Gunnison by Harvey
8. Martin. Coroner Rockefeller summoned
Jury and Sheriff Bowman accompanied them TO
the scene Of the tragedy. What they found
there Is described as follows:
when the Coroncr's party arrived to-day
everything was found undisturbcd. The faith
ful dog, although nearly starved to death, was
IDENTITY German; i've feet seven or eight inches
In height; thirty to thirty. five years old with
black hair and brown whlskers and mustache.
He was dressed In worn and greasy suit al
miners ducking, and near him lay . broad
brimmed white hat, q black overcoat, cloth vest
and rubber boots. Near by was found Ballard
rine empty and Remington forty Ave revolver
with one loaded shell but no empty ouea;
9 young deer and . hunting pouch with the
nap OF gray wolf skin were suspended from
the branches OF tree near by. An examins-
tion Of the body showed that the man had been
shot twice; one ball entered over the heart,
struck and was split and rebounded and lay
TO be . ball from British bull dog pistol, cal
ibre 42. The other bullet entered the left
breast and passed out through the back several
inches lower down, showing that the man had
been shot while sitting on the ground by some
one standing In front of him. The only paper
found was = dcclaratory sE cmeut setting
forth that Frederick W. stahl had declared his
intention Of becoming citizen Of the United
States. The document WAS dated May II, 1880,
and was issued out Of the County Court OF
Arapahoe county. Besides this there were al
40 found on the body t33.52 In cash, an IRON

small articles. The ranchmcn say that
last "wednesday two men, one OF whom an.
swcrs the description Of the murdered man,
went up the gulch to hunt. They had = light
spring wagon with red body and span Of
horses, one Of which was = bald. faced sorrcl
and the other bay. They left the wagon sew
eral miles below where the body wns found.
One OF them WIS seen on horseback Friday af-
ternoon going 10 the upper camp. Early Sat
urday morning the team and wagon were gone,
showing that the murder must have been com
mittcd on Friday night, and the murdered fed
before daylight.
Sheriff Bowman has the case In hand and
will use every means 10 ferret out the criminal
for q crime II certainly In.
The dead body was brought 10 this city To-
night, after being packed on a burro ak miles
over the mountains, and will be buried to-
morrow. The murderer and his victim, II Ia

in every portion Of this county except, perhaps,
Kilgore, from which place there is NO report.

templated by negroes The white farmers have

Improved Emigrant Sleepers.

The Denver Republican, in describing
two exceedingly handsome emigrsnt sleepers
Just turned out by the Denver q Rio Grande
car shops at Burnhsm, says: "These two are
the first completed of six, now in process Of
construction, which will be placed in service on
the Scenic Line" by the 10th inst The exter-
Tor finish Of the cars Is equal in every respect
to Palace Pullman. Allen paper wheels are
placed under the cars, which rest on Pullman
trucks, thus securing the maximum Of ease and
comfort. The interior Is model Of neatness
and convenience. There is . cooking range at
each end Of the car for the accommodation Of
those who may desire TO prepare their own
meals, there are receptacles for ice water, pat
ent ventilators, . spacious closet lavatory, and,
in fact, everything that the ingenuity Of the
car-builder could devise TO add 10 the comfort
Of the passenger. These sleepers are longer
sleeping accommodations foi 2s passengers each.
The berths are capacious and lngeniOusly con-
structed, and can be made ~ comfortable ~
those In any sleeper. The interior decoration
corresponds in elegance with the handsome cx-
terror. The windows are large and filed with
an unobstructed view. Sliding shutters are
added, . convenience wanting in the majority
Of emigrant sleepers. Lighted BY large and ei-
egant Tampa, heated, when heat 10 necessary,
BY improved furnaces, ventilated In the most
approved fashion, clean and cool; these cars
give the maximum Of comfort at the minimum
Of cost TO those who patronixe them. The
Denver q Rio Graude management certainly
deserves credit for the eIertions II 10 making
TO secure every convenience for the benefit of
rich or poor. The cars began their first trip
over the line on the Goth, filled with passcn-
gers who hsd taken advantage OF an excursion
