Every race of people on the face of
earth save coIored people Of the Uni
ted States, have a distinct nomen-
clature and are proud of it. The
blacks of the United States abhor the
word negro, and consider it an epith-
ct to call themselves "colored peO-
plc,' which means nothing, has no
Specification, and is therefore absurd
and ridiculous. A few days since
the colored editors held a meeting in
one of the Northern States, and by
rising vote a resolution was passed
adopting the word negro as the name
for their race. The colored people
should not be ashamed of the appel
'ation, as it simply means u black
man, a very dark person with crisp
9r curly hair. The word negro is the
proper name for the race, and they
ran consecrate it If they divest them
selves of prejudice and accept it with
That pride which all other races feel
ior their national cognomen. No

Henry NJ. Stanley, African explorer who
recently arrived in this country, has re-
ceived cablegram from the king or BEL
GUM ordering him To return at once. Mr..
Stanley was also further advised that this
unexpected summons is occasioned py
trouble with the predatory Arabs in the
Free Congo States.
A band of Arabs under Ben Mohammed,
embroidered by the absence OF Stanley,
have entered the free Congo state and
massacred the garrison at Stanley Falls.
AT every village where they found white
families the men were killed and the
women and children carried away. The
Arabs numbered 1900 men.
Attempts have beer made to check their
advance but without success.
"l am well acquainted with Ben Mo-
hammed," said Stanley, "having known
him since 1878, when / made a contract
with him to accompany me with force
of men for fifty days. We are good friends,
and presume King Leopold wants me to
go and put stop to his inroad."

Just why the American journals want
to publish all the details and testimony
of the Campbell di orce case, is hard to
unde stand. No journal of any stand
ing at all, will admit that its aim is to
cater to the tastes of the viscious and
licentious, and yet that is just what
nearly every daily paper is doing in
publishing all the disgusting trash
otherwise testimony-which is received
by cable dispatches every day. The
average reader will accept, without dis
pute, the statement that the homes OF
many of the English nobility are moth
ing more nor less than the hot bed of
RIGHTEOUSNESS in its worst form, but for
the sake of the pure-minded of our
country, omit from the journals which
come into our homes, and are read by
all. old and young, the recital of the

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
A Be ,aration Ordered.

An order has been received In Baltimore
from General Master Workman Powderly.
ordering all assemblies of the Knights OF
Labor to withdraw their delegates to the
Federation Of Trades. One reason stated
for ordering this withdrawal is the ag-
gressive attitude of the federation towards
the knights. The trouble Is substantially
that which is in progress in various parts
of the country-knights of labor versus
trades unions. The federation of trades
is a similar body to the trades assembly
or central labor union-an organization
of mixed trades and labor unions for
mutual protection. Why Mr.. Powderly
should have particularly selected this
federation for his attentions at this time
il not clear. 1t may be that all local as
semblies in the order will be instructed to
separate themselves from association
with the open trades unions.
