Harmony All Along the Line.

PERHAPS never before in the his
tory of Dauphin county was there
ever such harmony, oneness Of pur-
pose, and unity among men, as was
evidence in the recent efforts Of the
colored voters Of this county to Sc
cure delegate to the State conven
ton. There was but one faction, but
one object in view all along the line,
and the refusal Of the party to reg
ognize this unanimous demand was not
only an insult ard disappointment to
one man, one faction, or a dozen
men, but it was en- fragrant and in
territorial disregard Of the votes Of
1900 colored men in this county.
BY their action the republican party
have openly done that what they
have coyetly done for Years, they
have said you dare not vote against us
in a national contest and we do not
care for your vote in local contest,
they have dared us to Withhold the
vote that makes this a republican
county and city, and if there is a
spark of manhood ranking in the
bosoms of the colored voters Of this
county they will accept the challenge.
We have arrived finally at stage in
the affairs Of this locality when we
are forced to display some race pride,
the prediction made by the JOURNAL
and which it was charged by some
false hearted william did not voice the
sentiments Of the colored men, Is
proving itself true, and the colored
men who SO unanimously and ener-
geticallE worked for the recovery of
proper recognition and respect in the
late State convention have either to
come forward and resent manfully
the humiliation the party has made
them suffer or relegate themselves
politically into an oblivion that ad-
mits Of no resusctation.

TAnE various literary institutions
throughout the city have closed for
the season. After most successful
year the great good these institu-
tons have done for the young people
cannot be estimated Marked i'm
provement in the literary taste Of the
people can easily be discerned by the
interest which they have taken in
them; they furnished innocent
amusement for the children, while it
acted as a stimulus for them in max
ing public speeches and readings.
The people of Harrisburg may well
feel proud of their literary institu-
tons, as well as congratulate those
who have been instrumental in intro
ducing and conducting them SO cred
itably. Everything Of this nature
has a tendency to elevate young
minds and arouses in their ambitious
youth a desire to excel in things of a
higher order. They deserve the en-
enlargement they have met with,
and it is to be hoped that the next
season will be opened early and
fraught with equally as good sue
coss

AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Grand Rally Of the Bethel Church
at the Court House.

Last Sunday all the churches were
we'll attended. Rev Daniels, the
newly appointed Minister of Wesly
Church, preached two interesting
sermons to large audiences. At the
above named church the choir sung
several choice selections in their
usual admirable style. Rev. Daniels
was well received, aud at once in
gratiated himself into the peoples
good graces by his Christian bearing
and earnest manner. Irof. William
Howard Day, assisted at the services
in the morning.
The Bethel A. NJ. E. Church; who
are purchasing lot corner of State
street and West avenue and prepare
tory to building held services during
the day at the court house. The at
tendence during the entire day was
large, and responded literally to the
request of the trustees. Bishop Way
man preached in the morning, and at
3 D. m. Rev. Albert Studebaker, Of the
Fourth St. Lutheran Church, preached
an able instructive and encouraging
sermon which was highly appreciat
ed. Prof. Lee, of Wherefore college
spoke in the evening to crowded
house and his very interesting ser
mon was attentively listened to.
The music rendered by the differ
ent choirs during the day was es-
pecialy pleasing, that of Wesley
choir being unsurpassed. Messrs.
Prof. M. II. Layton, James Stewart.
Howard Summers, Baker White and
the son of Rev. Wilson, pastor of the
church acted as financial clerks, over
$500 was raised during the day for
which both Pastor and trustees feel
grateful to the public.

THE Pittsburg conference if it has
done nothing else shows to the Dem
ocratic prrty Of this country that the
average colored voter possessed with
a reasonable degree of intelligence,
are not willing TO trust that party
yet, its past record is of too I'M
savory a character, and its present
position is not too reassuring. To
the Republican party finger marks all
along the line, point out the warning
of danger ahead. The past is not
forgotten. All they have done has
been gratefully remembered and
abundantly repaid. No race are
bound to become slaves of party be-
cause they become free by their aid.
And Just the feeling that permeated
the bosoms Of delegates of the Pitts
burg conference is becoming mat
ter of serious thought among colored
men generally.

Purchase the State Street Market.

Purchase the State Street Market.
1t would be step in the right
direction if the city would purchase
the State street market property. II
would be decidedly to the advantage
Of the city as matter Of economy,
convenience and improvement. There
is not site in the city more available
or better adapted for a city hall. The
city pays now in rents for mayors
office, controllers Office, solicitors
and other offices nearly $1,000, and
all of these places located at separate
points all cramped for space, and the
rooms in which councils meet are
perfect sweat boxes in warm weather.
We see no reasonable objection to
the purchase Of these buildings by
the city at cost Of $4,000. The
proposition to. purchase the Singerly
estate has many Objectionable fea-
lures. twenty-five thousand dollars
is the amount asked, and it has neither
the facilities nor value Of the State
street property. It has always been
like dead leaves upon the hands of
its owners, and it would be the same
on the hands Of the city. 1t would
not bring to the city any revenue
other than the saving Of the rent,
while the State street property would
bring sufficient revenue from the
market rents alone to more than pay
the interest on the purchase money.
1t is to be hoped that the report OF
the special committee en- this State
street property will be adopted by
councils, and that all selfish feelings
on the part Of members Of council
will be give way to the necessities OF
the people.

TIE people ofthis country would be
greatly enlightened if some Of the
enemies Of President Arthur, would
tell them why Mr.. Arthur would not
make an acceptable candidate for
President What in all Of his life as
public man can they urge against
him, every republican state conven-
ton has endorsed his administration,
as wise, conservative and honest, still
the independent republicans don't
want him. Can it be because he is
too good a republican?
The state journal., 1884-05-03

ALL the states have held their Re
publican conventions, some have in
structed for Blaine, some for Arthur,
some for Edmunds, while others
stand by their favorite sons. The
duty ofthe National convention will be
imperative as ever, which is to select
a man upon whom all factions of the
party will unite to select one with
whom they can win. The people of
this country want no more OF this
dark horse business, as the selection
of Hayes, in 1876, gave them a sur
felt Of that kind of procedure.

4 young man named Cheeseman, living
in Bennington, Vermont, has for some
time past paid attention to Miss Lille
Goldsmith, much to the discontinue OF her
parents on account of the habits of the
young man. When asked by her father
whether she would renounce her parents
and home or Cheeseman, Miss Lille re-
piled that she would cling TO the Young
nan. At this she was turned from her
fathers house, and took up her residence
with neigbbOr. subsequently duel be-
tween her father and Cheeseman was pro-
posed and acquiesced in. Seconds were
chosen, and the two gentlemen met in a
secluded nook. Pistols were the weapons.
Two shots were fired by EACH Goldsmith
was wounded in the right shoulder at the
second fire. He declared himself satisfied
with the young mans bravery, and con-
sented to the wedding OF the young peo-
pie.
