"Once gain the Negro vote to the
Democracy and it will stay there for.
ever, for the Negro is absolutely 10y
al and incorruptible in exercising the

"a true Democrat should be better
pleased to work with an honest, cour-
agcous Democratic Negro than with
SEINE ly-fingered Republicans mas
querading within the lines ofour par
ty organization"
"It is only the foolish and worn
out prejudice of some Of our people
which keeps the thousands of Demo
cratic Negroes in Tennessee out Of
our party primaries and conventions
It is time that such folly should be
done away with. We must recog
nize the Negro AS our political equal
We must give him voice and d
place in our party councils. Amer

WARRIOR STA. April 1, 1885.
IA splendid example Of friendly and
christian feeling between our viii .
and colored citizens has just trans
pired in our community in the burial
of worthy member of the Knigh ts
of Labor, Haywood Davis. Only a
few days ago two white members
have been buried, the colored branch
Orders turning out to pay their last
respects to the departed brothers.
Everybody was looking to see
whether or not the white organ
ization would turn out to the funeral
of deceased colored knight Of Labor.
Well they did. In tie funeral pro-
cession this evening at 4 o'clock there
were 81 white Knights and rs color
ed. It was q rare scene and one of
imneasurable benefit to cur laboring
masses.
Business is very good here, except
that the Warrior Coke and Cole Co.,
mines is at present standing out
against its employees. This compa-
nv has heretofore been paying on the
1st and 18th of each month, giving
IS cents per ton. Now they want to
pay the same amount and only once

have stopped work.

The Contest for Mayor.

Two days more will bring around
our city election again. Until within
the past few days there seemed to be
a general satisfaction in the fact that
our present very efficient Mayor. by
his honest, faithful and successful ad-
ministration Of our city affairs for
the past term had allayed all opposi-
ton and would be extended, without
opposition. the usual courtesy Of a
second term. Very generally the
voters settled on this conclusion as
wise.
The opposing candidates of the st
few days, therefore. are unfortunate
in coming out after the voters had
made up their minds and settled upon
their choice. Possibly a majority
already committed themselves by open
expressions and privately.
Thinking citizens will want to
know what are the grounds upon
which change, considered unneces
sary all along, are asked for now, on
the eve of the election IF sound
reasons for change existed why not
have laid them open before the peo-
ole weeks ago, SO as to have given
time for their consideration?
At this stage Of the canvass noth-
ing new has been brought out; and
the very high and respectable, social
and business standing of the oppos-
ing candidates can not secure them
the full support of their personal
friends For this reason their late
announcements must be considered
unwise.
This view of the case is, of course,
based on the premises that no valid
reasons have been produced against
the endorsement of the present ad.
ministration.
The question OF the issuance of the
Sc, 600 Of bond is left to the voters,
who can vote it up or down 1t is
entirely separate from who shall be
Mayor. A vote fo- Mayor Mastin
is not vote for the bonds. A vote
against him is not a vote against
them. Citizens, Of course, who op-
pose the bonds can vote against them
and vote for Mastin also.
The effort to bring party politics
into tho canvass has rightfnlly failed.
and Democrats are di
vided in their support Of the candi-
dates. Staunch Republicans are
among Mayor Mastin's warmest snp-
porters, because in the discharge OF
the duties of the Office he has been
non partisan, upright and enterpris-
ing.
The city has never had any Mayor
more wide-awake to its interests, or
any more deserving the courtesy 0:

elegant residence OF Mrs Walter Monteith

the usual amount of conversation, the

couple of quartets by Messrs o II Irvine.
Mack Monteith, WIN FortnilIsr and Chas
Brush, select readings by Misses Ina Rob-

and solo by Mrs E W Langdon, each
deserving special comms1dation.
After adjournment OF the social the pro-

the qaartet in the form Of several sere-

for which we make our humblest bow.

store BurzIalI1ed a. ssnlef..

Considerable excitement was occasioned at
Miller's Station On last Tuesday morning by
the discovery that during the previous nigh
the store of Mr.. Henry Newman had been
burglarized, about two hundred dollars
worth OF goods bsing found missing, among
other things ten or fifteen pair of bOets, ten
or fifteen pair of ladies shoes, tea pairs Of
fine Brownsville pants, ten pounds of tobacco
and all of the hose in the store. The glass in
the front window was broken out, which
showed how an entrance was made. In the
field near the store an old pair OF boots was
found together with an old knit jacket, and
tracks which would indicate that there were
either two or three parties concerned in the
robbery. Without = wagon it woaid have
taken at least three to carry the goods.
Although Mr. Newman lives but about one
hundred feet from the store no noise was
heard Suspicion attaches to various parties
OF bad repute, bat the guilty ones have not
yet been captured. ANY information which
will lead to their capture viii be gladly re
ceiyed by the people of Miller's Station, all
of whom are interested in seeing the guilty
brought to justice

On Friday morning of last week between
six and seven o'clock just az the steamer
"oceidentn was leaving the Simpson wharf
to 90 to Corvallis Mr.. Ashby Pearce had his
ferryman MIR. Rainey row him to the steamer
which he intended to board in order to go to
the above city The steamer was backing up
when they reached its bow. The motion of
the steamer caused them to be thrown against
it, and the small skiff was capsized instantly,
throwing them ihts the river. Mr. Rainsy
hung to the boat aud fioated down stream,
but Mr. Pearos was left hopelessly alone, al
most under the very bow OF the steamer. A
rope was thrown him from the steamer,
which he managed to grasp, and was sOon
after taken out of the water. A to his ex.
perience before this there is some dispute, q
gentleman who Was on tue wharf 1T the time
being of the opinion that he sank twice,
wh;ls Mr. PeArce, who was present as much a.
3 person could be, says he did not get the col
lar of his coat wet. Anyway this is an i'm
material question. The call was close one.
to say the least Mr. RAiney was picked up
by the steamer nearly opposite the Red
Crown Mills in a shivering but sensible con-
dition. Both men suffered almost no incoa-
venience afterwards from it.

On the Up Grade.

Albany has already for the year 1885 taken
. start upward. The certainty of new
school house has given the impetus to it.
Weneed not look for a big boom we do
not want one, they are dangerous but we
may henceforth look for . steady, reliable
growth. This wa want, for it is almost =
sure insurance against the cyclone reactions
30 common during the past few years, and it
means business. The advent of SO many
tourists in Oregon during 1888 and 1884
proved good advertisement for this city.
No place In the State left better impression
on the minds of those who visited il This
has Its great significance. 4 necessary thing
now is enterprise. This We have here to .
limited extent, but it is among those who
lack the capital to do much. Now, though,
several are becoming more than commonly
snthused, and As . starter . good opera
house may be looked for the coming sum i.
mer, not merely on paper, but on the ground.
This we hope to see followed by other enter
prises. Now Is golden time to act. Why
not cast OF some of these old cob webs of
lsthArgy and get enthusiastic fors once

4 Celestial Wounded.

About ten days ago Celestial. called
John, boarding at the Qwong Now House,
and ct the time working near this city, cut
his left hand quite severely with an ak.
Instead of going to surgeon, as the nature
of the wound demanded, he put an orange
peeling around his wrist and trusted to that
Euperstitious charm for cure. The wound
grew worse, filling with prond fesh, until
last Monday DIR. Ellis was called. The
Doctor dressed the wound, but it is thought
blood poisoning will set in, when to all prsb-
ability the hand will have to be amputated.
and it may result in the death of the China
man.
