Twenty Years Progress.

The Worlds Fair will afford the colored
people the best chance they have ever en-
joyed of showing the progress of their race
in America since the emancipation procla-
nation and the arms of the union soldiers
made them free. A department Will he set
apart for the exclusive use of the c lered
people, and they are invited and usss to
make the best Of their opportuniy The
exhibit should be milestone in tie history
of the race in this country.
The colored people cannot expect to do
every thing at once. They are young yet.
They have only been in the race on even
years. They have made wonderful advance
ment in that time and they should be
proud of the record. Let them come to the
front and show what they have done fer
themselves and for the world. There are
colored men in every profession and pur,
suit in life.
They are pushing their way in every
where where willing hands and brains can
make place. They are producers where
ever they find habitation. They are work
ers, and they should make an exhibit of the
product Of their toll that will reflect credit
not only on the colored people as a race,
but upon tie country. The records OF the
patent office furnish proof that they have
made considerable progress in the field Of
| invention. Hundreds of useful inventions
have been given to the world by colored
men. They are developing a genius in that
direction.
| 1t is in the field of agriculture, however,
that they have made greater headway. IL
the cultivation of the soil they have re-
markable aptitude. With education comes
thrifty habits, better morals, aid pride in
being. They are growing people-grow-
ing in power. in independence, in wealth
and in everything that tends to useful cit
| izenship.
Ex-senator Blanche K. Bruce has been
made "cbief director OF the colored exhibit. y
He is already in correspondence with the
leading colored men Of every state and sec
tion with view Of arousing popular inte-
rest in the enterprise. He is appointing
honorary members i'll every state to assist
in the work. The exposition management
will furnish transportation for all articles
to and from New Orleans Warehouses
will be established where they may be need
ed in the north and south for the collection
and shipment Of articles designed for the
exhibit Mr. Bruce has taken hold with a
determination to make the very best possi-
bic exhibit with the materials al command.
A. the leader Of his race in America, he
will arouse an enthusiasm in the work that
no one else could hope to produce, The
colored people should make much Of this
exhibit National Republican.

Too Late for Butler.

Gen. Buffers letter OF acceptance
was published Tuesday morning.
Gov. Cleyeland's letter followed the
next morning. As the Democratic
letter is brief spiritless and short OF
expectations its hasty appearance on
the heels of Buffers address makes
the suspicion look like a certainty
that it was held back through fear Of
the doughty General tearing it into
giblets. At the close Of his lengthy
but lively epistle, Butler candidly re-
grets that he could not pay his re-
spects to Cleveland,s letter, but
hoped that it would be an improve
ment on his party's platform.
A more correct aim with the tar
get out of sight could rarely be made.
1t hit the bulls eye center-the i'm
portant part Of Mr.. Cleveland's letter
being the bare statement of his adop.
tion of the Democratic platform in
part and in whole as his own views.
He neither trims. embellishes or
adorns, but takes it and sets it be-
fore the people as a model Of perfec-
ton and beauty. Gen. Buffers hope
that he would improve on it, was in
| vain.
The Democratic candidate, how
ever, aside from simply swallowing
the platform managed to swell out
his letter to somewhat Of respecta-
ble length by a plea OF great consid-
GRAFTON for the working man, kick
at the Prohibitionists, and by playing
sootbingly on the harp of Reform.
On the whole. the letter Of the
Democratic candidate at this time Of
great lukewarmness in his canvass, is
not document Of great inspiration
Readers will rise from its perusal
with a feeling of disappointment.

eo,,ro-as1rs THREE YEARS.

Though the mills Of the gods grind
slowly, yet they grind exceedingly SMALL
even in sout hern Kansas. Some three years
ago Mr.. A. X. Hargett, who lives on farm
two and one.half miles south of Sedgwick
City. had a horse stolen from his stables,
and though he put the matter in the hands
of officers and sent postal cards all over the
country giving a description OF the animal
and offering reward for the apprehension
of the thief, he was unable to get any clue
to either, and gave the horse up as lost.
Last Monday Sheriff J. Ii. Mcintyre, Of
Cowley county, who happened to be
in the vicinity of Sedgwick city, called al
MIR. Targets place, and in conversation
the stolen horse was mentioned and mi-
mute description of it given to Mcintyre,
who said that he thought he knew where
the animal was. Yesterday Hargett re-
ceiyed o telegram from the sheriff stating
that he had found his horse. and had the
thief in Jail, and for him to come TO VIM
field al once and bring q man to identify
the horse. 1t seems that the animal has
been sold and bought three times since
it was stolen, and is now in the
hands OF Sumner county farmer. The
thief is q man who used to figure consider
ably in this county. His name is Fisher,
and he used to live about five miles north
of Wichita on the Little river. The way
the crime leaked out was, Fisher is in Gus
tody at Winfield on some criminal charge.
and growing rather confidential told Mcln-
tyre that three years ago he stole horse
from Hargett of this county. and also told
the sheriff where to find the animal. Mr..
Hareett in company with his neighbor, A.
S. Thomas, who goes to identify the stolen
horse. will leave for Winfield to-day.

NO lYNCHIkG.

Again last evening there were rumors of
an organized intention to mob the parties
arrested and held for the murder OF Burris.
That the rumor was no mere idle talk we
are pretty well satisfied. While some men
in this town have INDUCED in such threats
there is in our judgment no real danger of
such an outrage being perpetrated or car
ricd out by citizens. If the attempt is
made at all it will be by those lately in the
employ and associated with the deceased
as a railroad man. The thing should not be
permitted, let the cost be what il might.
The man and woman may be guilty, but
that fact has not been established by
any means, While some who heard
all the evidence adduced in the preliminary
examination express the greatest doubts
to the guilt OF the accused, and that to
convict an entire different class and much
stronger testimony would be necessary.
But in any event we do not want the stigma
OF mob rule or violence, and we hope the
sheriff will not allow himself to be taken
by surprise.

This is the time of year when everybody
is busy if there is any business in them.
The demand for labor is good and wages
are good. The builder, the mechanic, the
manufacturer and the farmer, the banker,
and even the lawyers are busy, and the
doctors would be If il wern't SO distressing
ly healthy. These are the months in which
there is.no time nor excuse for loafing
around the corners on on dry goods boxes.
The man who loafs now unless there lies
back of him a farm, a business or a bank ac-
count, is man who ought to be watched
and if no one can be found who will do the
watching, then his conspicuousness should
hinge upon his absence. Men don't live on
air nor are loafers fed directly by mama
from heaven. All must eat or die, and
those who don't eat bread of their own
earning must eat that earned by somebody
else. Loaiing about street corners day af-
ter day, and ranging through back streets
and alleys by night is not up to the ortho-
dox standard Of honesty, and there is and
has been too much of this thing in Wichita
of late. and such ought to be able TO catch
on TO this idea which simply means that
those who can't leave of loafing had better
leave town. The citizens of this place. by
a large majority, are convinced that this is
not good season for dead beats.
