Now is the Time.


WE hope that the readers of the
JOURNAL. will not misunderstood our
position, or the relation we hold to
the pecp'e whom we represent. We
do not want to be considered Tide
bound, close clipped, blind partisan
party paper, for such we ale not On
the contrary, we intend TO assume
whatever position the Interests of the
people demands, and we will not sup
port a candidate upon the local ticket,
or shall the name of a single candl-
date be placed at the head of our
columns who we think is unwilling
to accord to every voter without dis
elimination, the recognition his feallty
to the party deserves. The Republl-
cans Of Dauphin county will be woe
fully disappointed one OF these days
There is much dissatisfaction among
the colored voters, and there is no
better time to get even with the men
who have refused them recognition,
than the present The talk about
this being a Presidential year and
not a good time to cut ticket, is all
barney; it is the same old food
warm over, upon which colored men
have been fed year after year Now
is the time TO cat, cut from head to
bottom, cut National, State, County
or City, if by SO doing you can pre-
serve your God given rights, declare
your independence and secure the
recognition which belongs to every
American citizen. We have repeat
edly claimed that the Importance of
cur vote is not properly recognized
in Dauphin county. We are growing
tired of supporting men for office who
have no regard for our frequent ap-
peals for recognition, and we propose
as the opportunities presents itself to
support the men at least whom we
have confidence in their words as
well as their Republicanism. The
voters Of this county and city will
have square blow at the men who
have persistently barred them from
any share in county matters fur
Their than delegates to vote for their
stated candidates, have no compunc
tioE about the time. Now is the time
to assert our manhood.

ABOUT KISSES IN 1rrERAruKE.

Their UukeS and SHvnins.

Stories of Milkmaids and Duchess with
Their Dukes and SWANS.
GeOrgiana, Duchess of DeYonsh ire,
gave Sleet, the butcher, kiss for his vote
nearly a century since; and another
equally beautiful woman, Jane, Duchess
of Gordon, recruited her regiment in a
similar manner. Duncan Mackenzie, a
veteran of Waterloo, who died at Elgin,
Scotland, in 1866, delighted in relating
how he kissed the duchess in taking the
shilling from between her teeth to be-
come one of her regiment, the Gordon
Highlanders, better known as the Ninety
second. The old Scottish veteran of 81
has not left one behind him to tell the
same tale about kissing the blue eyed
duchess in the market place of Dutkill.
An American naval officer who had
spent some considerable time in China
narrates an amusing experience of the
ignorance of the Chinese maiden of the
custom of kissing. Wishing to complete
a conquest he had made of a young mel
jim (5eautiful lady) he invited her
using English wOrds-to give him kiss.
Finding her comprehension Of his request
somewhat obscure, he suited the action
to the word and took delicious kiss.
The girl ran away into another room,
thoroughly alarmed, exclaiming: Ter
rible man eater. | shall be devoured, :"
But in moment, finding herself unin-
jured, she returned to him saying: 81

of kee-es me until she knew how to do it

and the lesson went on until her mamma
voice rudely awakened them from their
delicious dream.
Kiss her gently, but be sly:
Kiss her when there's no one by;
Steal your kiss, for then Ills moetest,
Stolen kisses are the sweetest.
Tom Hood once asked whether Han
nah More had ever been kissed--that is
to say, by man. 1t is almost impossible
to imagine such thing, and yet it has
been asserted by the author of Rejected

what we do find objection to is the

Laugh ana the world laughs with you;
Weep, ana you weepalone;
For the sad old earth must borrow Its mlrth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sight is lost on the air;
The echoes bound TO a joyful sound,
But are lost to voice your care.
Rejoice and men will seek you;
(Trieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them ell:
There are none to decline your nectared
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast and your halls will be crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give, and 1t helps you've,
But no man can help you ole;
There is room in the halls TO pleasure
For large and lordly train;
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrSw aisles of pain:

PETRIFIED FORESTS TO UE UTIL-
IZED

The petrifed forests near Holbrook,
Arizona, have been purchased by a com
pany. They have commenced the ship
ment and manufacture of the petrifac
tons into tablets, tiles and various orna-
mental articles in building and finish
ing. In this connection the Prescott
Niner has the following; Governor
Tritlc informs us that while in San
Francisco he inspected an establishment
recently started for the cutting aud pol
ishing of petrifed wood taken from the
wonderful forest of petrifcations existing
along the line of the Atlantic and Pa
cifc in this Territory. The parties en-
gagged in this work state that the petri.
fed wood is rapidly driving California
onyx from market as material
for fine mantels, &c, as it is su5cep-
tible of much finer polish and is also
more permanent and lasting than that of
the onyx. Several companies have al
ready been formed for the purpose OF get

1.-The political caldrons are becom-

are but two months more for effective

are fostered and cooed like turtle

veteran politician hugs the working
man closer thsn a brother. Figures

the prospects. Of capturing them for
one or the other OF the parties is an
important theme in the campaign.
But in all this anxiety over the poll.
tics of the foreigner by the RepubIi
cans there is a singular lack of care
for the Negro vote. We speak solely
to the Republican party, not only be-
cause we want and expect no care
from the Democl ais, but because the
Republicans have everything to lose
aud nothing to gain. The cause for
this lack of inter- ST is obvious, though
the reason is not SO plain. No party
ever had more unanimous support
from any class than the Republican
party has received from the colored
man. The Negro we have with us
always is an accepted phrase. The
Germans may come and the Irish may
60 but the Negro goes on forever,
continuing his allegiance 10 the party
of freedom.
We have always adyo a'td this al
legiance as the best thing for us to
do, and consider such support com
mendable. But we would submit
some pain, uoadultcrated fsc's to the
party managers that they will do well
to consider. The total voting popu-
lation of the United States is II, SILL
437, of which l,457,251, or abont one
ninth, is conceded to the Negro. The
Germans Of the country comprise but
80 per cent. while the Negroes com
prise nearly IS per cent, yet the Ger
mans, ungratcful IS they are, receive
every attention f ON the hands of the
Republicans. The Negro has the

been done to keep them from follow

that General Butler of to dny, thou h

are treated better than many other
