OFF FOR THE SUMMER.

Every. evening a number of
students aud regular hotel men
leave for some resort. 1t is worth
the while to remark concerning
these young men The average
hotel man is spendthrift. His
contact with white people creates
a false idea within him and his
meagre earnings are spent in
riotous living, or in a vain at
tempt to initiate those upon
whom he acts. Hotel life is SER
vile in its nature but honorable.
Whatever its character, this must
be said that, man may be gen.
tleman and a waiter at the same
time if he wishes to. The occu-
patton is honest. The student
reaps his harvest during The sum
mer months. As a usual thing
he is sober and industrious and
prefer to save bis means to ass st
him amid winter SHOWS and in his
attempts to buy books aud neces-
sary clothing. The student is the
most valuable hotel man. lie is
intelligent, easily managed and
does no. strive to shrink. The
only place where the student gets
full supply of meals regularly is
at these resorts. Commonly all
students are voracious. They can
eat at any and all times. They

times when a fond hope and a

THE LORD HIGH PRIESTS

Prior to the ascendenry of the
democratic party, there could be
found in the republican party a
class of negro l.adais, otherwise
"Lord High Priests," otherwise
official dlctators as to colored ap-
pointments. These ''Lord High
Priests" had a mania for demand
ing recognition according TO mer-
it SO to speak, but always demand
ed recognition for their immediate
family thus depriving worthy and
deserving persons of their just
dues Quite a number of these
old f ssiles have been relegated to
the rear and new men have come
to the front, far superior in iutel-
let and exercising even more in
f1uence among the people.
The races impediment has
been due to such men as these and
until there is change so long will
the races progress be retarded.
Strange to say We have not seen
such demand for places under this
administration by these guardians
oftbe entire CD colored race. BefOrt
we commit ourselves to either can
didate, would it not he we'll for us
to know what part these demi-
gods are to play IN the event of
republican success? Would it not
he well for US to ascertain what
We can expecl? The day Of senti-
ment has fled like a sweet morn
ing bretze its fragrance has
had such an enchanting influence
on the mind OF The deIuded, WHO
have stuck to their idles for
these many years.
The issue of this campaign will
not give these black dictators an
opportunity to work the senti-
nlent racket. Itsis free trade
against protection. So far as the
negro is concerned one has been
as beneficial tn him as the other.
The Lord High Priests" will de-
clare that Harrison and Morton
are fire men; that Cleveland
and Thurman a e friends 10 the
oppressed. But what we want to
know is what the negro is to re
ceiye +? How is he to be benef ed?
Both parties have declared their
inability to protect him, now the
question is what is he to expect !
Had Sherman been nominated
these questions would not have
been asked; We know the man,
aud his record, and his record
answers the question. But, now
we have new men to deal with
and new issues to confront US.
The platforms upon VIII ch the can-
dIdates are to rise or fall have been
erected. The planks of human
liberty, freedom and independence
have been left out. Shall we take
Harrison or Cleveland +? Already
hundreds of our race, as we pre-
dicted two years ago, have gone
to Cleveland and free trade. Let
us review the field before We GO
anywhere.

on Mr.. Blaines' political aspirations.
AS we stated some time ago Mr..
Blaine was not the man to be trust

fact was demonstr ated in the con-
vention by the efforts that were
made to nominate him against the
will of the people.

CORNISH.

Mr.. L. A. G ,rnish,
Trustee 8 b school division;
Dear Sir:
Having the most
profound apprecia ion for you
and having known yvu for a num-
ber of years, and during that time
you have been regarded to be
man of stern qualities, we venture
the suggestion in the appointment
of a teacher to succeed Miss Foot,
please be guided by what is right
and just In the selection of
lady to succeed her. Consult
your supervising principal, who
is best capable of judging the
merits and dement's of the many
applicants for that position. The
sentiment of the Public is in IA
vor of Miss Nalle, lady OF fine
attainmsnts and one who will
honor the position. No one will
say that she is incapable nor can
anyone say that she does not pos
sess all the requirments necessary
to advance the Banneker school.
We are In a position Mr.. Cornish,
to know that this lady will be
acceptable; not only to you and
your subordinate officials, but to
the entire community, Permit
US also to congratulate you and
Prof. Hunster for your fine indus
trial exhibition. Had you given
the Professor more time, we are
sure that the exhibition would
have been much better. Prof.
Hunster Is genius in the pro-
fession in which he is engaged.
What is your idea Mr.. Cornish,
about military organization
connected with the schools ?
Can't you suggest to the board of
trustees the propriety of such an
organization upon the same basis
as the white High school cadets d?
You are in a position Mr.. Cor
nish, to do a great deal of good ;
will you do it ?
Tha BEE reasons with clear
headed men, Mr.. Cornish, and
believing you to be one, we know
that suggestion of this kind
will be accepted in god faith.
Your time as school trustee of
the 9Th school division has ex-
splred; would you like a reap
pointment? Do you think that
you have accomplished anything
during your first year =? We gen.

trustees of our schools for the

The Blaine managers are trickey.
If Blaine is like his managers,
the people should beware.
Langston made great speech.

The managers of Blaine are re-

the Chicago convention.

knocked Dyson out, but he will
come again.
Lacy was the most gentlemanly.

Foots' marriage.
Who will succeed Miss Foot?
Trustee Cornish is not controlled
by Mr.. Cook.
Sherman is a great man among
the people.
Wise cannot carry his own cOun-
ty.
He is a very small man.
G. H. j. Taylor is a very small
man.
Some men who consider them.
selves great and who have fallen
below par, will hang on to the coat
tail of the most prohigate to rise
again.
We have such men i'm view who
went to the Chicago convention.
The BEE takes no stock in Blaine
nor his managers.
John III. Brooks dictates greatly
the policy of a certain school official.
Commissioner Webb ought to
know it.
An official who is not competent
enough to conduct bis own busi-
ness should be removed.
The people are endebted to Prof.
Hunster for the late school exhibit
ton.
Mr.. Cornish will appoint Miss
Nalle to succeed Miss Foot.
This will be an excellent selectlG n
OF lady who will do honor to the
position.
Those who know more about
other peoples business than they do
their own is sure sign that they
envy the person against whom or
of whom they talk.
Langston made the greatest
speech.
Blaine was knocked out.
He failed to receive the unan-
imOus support of the convention,
hence he declined.
Sour grapes Jimmy.
Perry Carson died with Jimmy
Blaine.
Blaine could not have carried
the country.
All hail Harrison.
1t was Blains' trick.
He waited until he found that
he could not receive, the unani-
nous nomination, hence he declin-
ed.
The dropsy woman on Capitol
hill should give herself rest.
Those who cannot stand the cal
cium light should keep quiet.
Col. (3) Perry Carson has voted
his last time for Jemes G.. Blaine.
Jemes G. Blaine is dandy, but
he couldn't get there.
The Cadets will.
Andy Gleason says that he will
never ask Harrison favor.
Don't worry Andy.
The Alger managers fooled
Carson by promises. For once

The minority of the ways and means
committee scored good point on the
MILLS bill by showing from the record
that from 1886 To 1888, u period of
twenty-five years, the control of the
house of representatives has been
equally divided between the democratic
and republican parties, and that during
the eleven years of republican. control
the revenues were reduced in the sum
of 1862, 504 500 while during the eleven
democratic years there was reduction
of only $685. 1926 The democratic
party alone is responsible for this fail
ure TO reduce taxation, for the simple
reason that all revenue bills must origi-
nate in the house and that no such bi!l
has been passed, during all these years,
by the democratic house, and therefore
the republican senate has been power
less in the matter. The record is GER
tainly favorable one for the republ-
can party, and it is willing to stand or
fall by it.

The Courier of last week reiterates
the stale falsehood that the republican
party submitted the prohibitory
amendment to vote of the electors
and then with its disciplined forces
marched to the polls and defeated the
measure" A very casual inspection of
the election returns is all that is needed
to refute the statement and prove its
utter falsity. The prohibitory amend
ment received more votes than were
cast for the republican candidates, and
the heavy prohibition majorities came
from strong republican counties, while
the strong democratic counties gave
large prohibition maiorities. Re-
publicans, both in the legislature and
at the polls, gave the amendment a
generous support, while it met with an
equally generous opposition at the
hands of democratic Legislators and
democratic voters, and was only de-
feated by the adverse vote of the great
democratic stronghold of the state--the
county of Wayne; aud il is even ques.
tionable if it were not democratic fraud
at the ballot box as much as democratic
votes that prevented its ratification.

OUR valued contemporary, the De-
troit Free Press, rises to remark: at
looks as if the democrats would make a
real effort to carry Illinois at the cleo
ton in November. They have a ticket

there is never any lack of candidates,
and the democratic party is prolific in
platforms-their great mogul himself is
a platform-but what Illinois democrats
will lack in November, as they have
done, 10! these many years, is not can
didates nor platforms, but votes.

The NoRTHERNER has received from
its friend, Mr.. j. M. CRANE, late copy
of the Nashville (Tenn.) American, con-
tanning the address of ex-Gov. A. s.
MARKS, delivered before an organiza-
ton Of ex-confederate soldiers at Nash
Vile. on the evening of the gath inst.
The speaker charged the North with
having melted the war of the rebellion
and alleged that Mr.. LINCOLN, prior to
his election to the presidency, declared
that as the people of the South held
slaves, they had forfeited their right TO
freedom and ought to be enslaved
themselves, and that such event could
not be long deferred" The ex-governor
then gravely declares that the southern
people honestly believed that so
soon as Mr.. LINCOLN and those
who thought with him had the
power to enforce their will, it was
meant that the white men and white
women and the African should be COM
PEELED to exchange conditions" Such
talk is the merest kind of twaddle, and
any man ought to be ashamed of it. OF
course it does nobody any harm, and if
Ex-Governor MARKS or any other like
him desires to brand himself as an ass
by uttering such sentiments, no one
will be likely to raise any serious objec-
ton to his doing so. But, as the ex-
governor truthfully remarked, the
bray of the ass has no Unbeatable quail
ity; it dies with the ass, which must
be consoling to his friends if not to the
ex-governor himself.

IT will be the duty of the next legis-
lature of Michigan to give the people
something effectual in the line of pro-
hibitory legislation If the republicans
secure control of that body, as the
NoRTHERNER predicts they will, such
legislation may be reasonably antici-
pated; but if the legislature shall be
democratic, rs the organs of that party
profess to believe it will be, nothing
need be expected in the line of legisla-
ton that will tend to injure the saloon
business.

Bay Wilkes,

A fast son of the Mighty George Wilkes,
record 2:22 Dam, Red Eye by Boston,
(sire of second dam of Maud S., POS and
of Jay Eye See, 210.) Second dam by
Revenue, by Trustee, the first horse
who trotted twenty miles less than one
hour.
BAY WILKES is one of the finest look
ing horses in the state, and his colts are
of the very highest finish; are all about
Is hand horses when fully matured;
nearly all bay and trotterS. He has
three colts in Kentucky that have au-
thenticated trials as follows:

BILLY WILKES 1924
ASHLAND MAID 2: 314
These are out of lot of five colts; up
TO 1885 he never made a season in the
stud, and had to that time only five liv-
ing colts, as good IA showing as any stall
lion in the country can show.
BAY WILKES is 15f hands high and
weighs ITO pounds; his colts are good
for the track, farm, carriage, gentle
mems drivers, or any other use you
may wish. At the fee / propose to let
you use Bay Wilkes he costs you no
more than the inferior class of horses so
numerously offered to the public. A
Bay Wilkes colt at three or four years
old is worth not less than $500, and up
to $4,000. Never before had the farm
ers of Van Buren, county and the state
a chance to use such a great horse as
Bay Wilkes at the low fee of $500 for
the season.
BAY WILKES is one of the surest foal
getters in the country. Will stand at
the subscribers barn in Paw Paw. Re-
member that Bay Wilkes is the only son
of the Great George Wilkes owned in
any of the following named counties:
Van Buren,, Berrien, Cass, ST. Joseph,
Calhoun, Eaton, Barry, Kent, Ottawa,
Muskegon and Allegan. He is young
and as sound as new silver dollar,
best disposition of any horse / ever saw.
A good note due in six months, with
out interest, will be taken as pay for
the season services. Should the mare
not prove in foal in 1888 can be returned
free in 1889.
