The Nicodemus cyclone. [volume] (Nicodemus, Graham County, Kan.) 1887-1888, 1888-01-20

The question has been frequently
put to us by young colored men
seeking to better their condition,
whele is there an opening? We
don't propose to say we have dis
covered an Eldorado but to those
who are anxious to better their con
dition and are willing to work and
rustic, we invite you to come to
Nicodemus AS yet our country
is very little developed and for that
very reason we ask you to come.
There are no government lands in
this county now but lands may be
had at cheap terms on almost
any time and very little interest:
Our town is as yst in it's infancy,
but with prospective railroads and
expectation Of q good crop next
year will see us get to the front, III
great shape. Now will you come,
| and help us build up booming
little town or are you content to
lead a funky's life and do no good
for yourself or any body else? Here
you will encounter none Of the pre-
JUDGE you complain SO bitterly o.
in the south, nor that cramped
position you occupy further east.
ManyIof you have educated
yourselves at great sacrifice and
are sitting around, Micawber like,
waiting for something to turn up
Come out here and help Us to turn
up these beautiful prairie farms
| and assert your American man
hood. Will you come? Well wal
and see.

The Gate City Press publishes in
full stumbling Block" a paper read
before the State Teachers associat-
ion at st Joe, Dec. 80, by W. w.
Yates, principal Of the Wendell
Phillips school of Kansas City.
The paper is full of valuable points
for the teacher and furnishes hints
for profitable study for the colored
race. The points in the main are
well taken, but they might all be
summed in one statement. Teach
the negro that he IS an American cit
izen in the truest and broadest sense
Of the tenn. Teach him that if he
would be recognised fully as such
he must have his interest so closely
identified with those of other
Americans that they can
not be encroached upon without
hurting the interest of all. Teach
him that the individual has in his
own hand the lever to elevate HIM
self. No class can be raised by the
few. First, get the individual thor
oughly awakened in his own behalf.
Let him be placed Oh his merit, if
he is deserving fear not, the results.
The spirit of the 10Th Century has
too much Roadway to persist IN Ig-
nOring true worth.

craft ii they could, by being drowned il
they could not. That was an immoral
law. In Republican Pennsylvania to-
day there is statute in full force which
permits employers in case of strike to
arm any man they can get to bear arms
and to shoot down any persons they deem
it right to do to death. His unsupported
oath that it was necessary step puts
him beyond the reach of any earthly re-
sponsibility for such acts. A most mon
strously immoral law!
Nor is this case of minor
Importance. This is land of liberty
under law. The personal liberty
of the individual is the main spring
which moves all other liberties. 1t is the
Palladium of all our institutions; the
Egis of all other privileges. Not only
does American principles in their true
conception guarantee the individual
against having any form of morality
forced upon him, but they secure to him
an absolute right to be i'm
moral, so far as any persons
censorship of morals goes. The home Of
Americans is sacred from the rude inter
ference of any man, Government official or
not. Its purity is put in the safe keep
ing of it's inmates, and their business is
none of Mr.. Boutelle's business, none ol
the Republican Conventions business
none of any governments business.

The "Glorious Fourth" passed off
most gloriously in Los Angeles. The
weather was perfect. All the town
turned out in gala day attire. All the
country came in, and brought its sweet
hearts and wives to see the display of
patriotism and to show its own. The city
was gay with bunting. The procession
was large and notably handsome.
Merchants and trades were to
the fore. The "milangtary" was
gorgeous. The brave fre-laddies
and their machines were in line. There
was plenty of music. The immortal Decla-
ration of Independence was duly read.
The as immortal "Star-Spangled Banner"
was sung in excellent style by petite,
pretty and accomplished Miss Manfred,
of the Comic Opera Company. Mr.. Hunt
acquitted himself of a very patriotic
oration. Every one was happy. There
was not drunken man seen on the
street. There was not row nor fracas
of any sort in the pueblo. America
may point with pride to municipality
of eighty thousand of her citizens, with
twenty thousand auxiliaries from the
outside, spending the natal day of the
nation in such perfect peace and good or
der. We are all proud of Los Angeles
proud of her people, proud of her patriot
ism, proud of her good morals and good
manners. Hurrah for the Angelic city.

tenttOn.
While no especial effort to decorate
elaborately was made, the streets along
the line of march presented quite q gay
appearance with the myriads Of flags and
streamers floating in the slight breeze
which sprang up about noon. The Com
mittee OF Arrangements had decided to
leave the decoration to the citizens, and
for this reason there were no flags over
head across the streets, but aside from
this the adornment of the stores and
buildings was quite general. Perhaps
the most elaborately decorated building
in the city was the City Hall, the front
Of which was covered with streamers and
flags. Over the doorways large flags
we're tastefully draped and from the roof
to the ground, the building was covered.
The HERALD building was also hand
somely decorated with bunting and flags,
Over the doorways and windows stream
ers OF the National colors were gracefully
looped, and the whole attracted consid-
cradle attention.

A Lot OF Old.Time Republican Dupes

A Lot OF Old.Ttme Republican Dupes
Posing as Democrats.
At Hibernia Hall, Downey Block, last
night there assembled half score of
people to form what they were pleased to
call an Irish Republican Club. R. Null
10y called the meeting to order and John
F. Hogan, the "Holy Hogan" was made
temporary chairman. Pat. Mahoney
moved that committee on permanent
organization be appointed. which was
duly done, 7. III. Bates, Mike O'Farrell,
B. Stevens, being the committee. Mr..
o Shea, who is an intelligent gentle
man, and who knows better than
his speech would indicate, got up
and stirred the Celtic blood in fine style
by building an imaginary English buga-
boo to scare the Irish with. Like an
other Wallace he would sing:
Now's the day, and now's the hour.
Hither comes proud England's power;
England, chains and slavery.
1t will not work, Mr.. O'Shea. Your
countrymen are more intelligent than
you think they are. They have an eve
OF you. Mike O'Farrell suggested that
the club put itself in communication with
Patrick Ford's Irish World. There is
just one way to do that, Mr.. O'Farrell-
the World. Write to Morton
and he will tap his bar'l on
your behalf. Anthony Mulhern tried to
get in word edgeways on the Chinese
question; but just at that moment the
committee on organization came in.
Who knocked for them to choke off in
convenient discussion of the Chinese
matter is not apparent Major Dorney
was in the room. The temporary officers
were made permanent. The Vice Presi-
dents were: Mike Craig, ]. J. Reardon.
The Secretary is j. ]. o Shea. The Finan-
cial Secretary is B. Stevens. The Treas
urer is Mike Ryan. The Sergeant-at-
Arms is Mike O. Farrell. The Trustees are
Capt. Hughes, Mike O'Farrell and p.
NJ. Darcey. The Executive COMMITTEES
is the Holy Hogan, Pat. S. Dorney. T.
H. Bates, John Meade, Pat Mahoney.
A committee on hall was appointed,
The fun of it is this half score poses as
boiling Democrats. They may have
bolted their dinner. Some Of them have
probably bolted in other ways, but they
never bolted any Democracy. It never
came in their way. They are, in fact. =

THE GARDEN FESTIVITIES.
Fhousnmds Enjoy Themselves a.
yhe Eete Champetre.

yhe Fete Champetre.
Amongst the thousands who cele-
brated the Fourth were many who, hav-
ing been satiated with the hustle and din
of the street parades during the extreme
heat of the morning, sought some quiet
retreat where they might disport them
selves during the afternoon and evening.
A splendid opportunity presented itself
in the shape of fete at the Washing
ton Garden under the auspices Of the
well-knowD proprietor of the Vienna
Buffet. Here about two O'Clock large
number Of people began to arrive, and
from that hour until long after darkness
had set in there was an almost ceaseless
flow OF visitors both from and to the city.
The afternoon was taken up BY brass
band contest between the City and
Meine's bands, the judges, Messrs.
Heine, Wilhartitz and Schurtz, award
ing each of the competitors five points,
thus making it a draw.
After this was concluded, the bands
played alternately in the Pavilion, whilst
those who were 30 inclined, and they were
the majority, whirled round the floor of
the vast edifice to the enticing
strains. This was kept up, with inter-
mittent breaks of short duration to allow
for refreshments and rest, until about s
O'Clock, at which time the great event Of
the day took place. This was the draw
ing for fine thoroughbred grey horse
valued at $500, which had been such
q feature Of the days procession,
an elegant set of china and
number Of other prizes too numerous to
mention. The diawing took place on
the platform and anyone who wished
was invited to draw his own ticket. At
the close of this portion Of the programme
Mr.. 6churtz stepped forward and an-
nounced that No. 2,3Q0 WAg the lucky

THE Springfield Republican says !:
"Among the first on their feet to vote
for the temperance resolution at Chicago
"were the California delegates, who
chad brought along, in their own words,
enough whiskey, and rum, and wine,
/" and champagne to keep up bowling
" racket for month";"
Yes, and the California delegates
were not the only ones at Chicago who
must have found it pretty hard to
do that standing vote business
in favor of Boutelle's resolu-
ton. That vote was bit OF brazen
hypocrisy, meant to catch the Prohibi-
ton vote. 1t did not catch them; but it
shows that the Prohibition tail is strong
enough to make the Republican dog
wobble. 1t will wag that dog out of his
skin by 1892.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-05

So AFTER all the standard-bearer of
the great party of all the intelligence
there is in the world is not 80 large a
man intellectually as he might be. He had
his little piece, all cut and dry, all COM
posed and neatly written out-by type
writer perhaps; and SO he read it off in
good set phrase. Why, our Mayor is
only Democrat with little bit of
Republican bias; but he can read his
speeches as well as Gen. Harrison. The
Hoosier's brains are not so large after all.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-05

That was the unkindest cut of al
when at Indianapolis, yesterday, Mr..
Estee reminded Gen. Harrison of his
pro-Chinese proclivities. Mr.. Estee
should not call public attention to the
terrible chasm existing between where
the platform stands and where Mr..
Harrison reposes. The Gulf between
Dives and Abraham's bosom was as
nothing when compared with this.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-05

The double dealing Of the Republican
party was never better illustrated than
in their pretended interest in temper
ance. They want free whiskey now
under Ben. Harrison, just as their pro-
totypes, the Wings, guzzled hard cider in
lS40 under the leadership of Tippecanoe
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-05

PAPERS which used the old side
whiskered pictures of Mr.. Morton did
not present the counterfeit presentment
of General Harrison's partner Levi.
The London banker got so used to shay
ing notes that he had to shave some
thing, and 80 shaved off his whiskers.
He is now the most bare-faced practical
politician in New York.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-05

GENERAL HARRISON inherits Kno W.
nothlngism as he inherits Cromwellian
Puritanism. His father, John Scott
Harrison, the son Of Hard Cider Tippe-
canoe, was elected to Congress from the
Second Ohio district in 1856 on the
Know-nothing ticket.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-07-05

The captains were: Mr.. Stewart
Kearne, of the Riverside eleven, and Mr..
Way, of the Los Angeles club, whilst
Mr.. Sicily umpired for the former, and
Mr.. F. McKerrow for the latter.
Some excellent play was done by both
sides, but it is only due the Riverside
boys to say that their fielding was far su-
perior to that of their opponents, hence
the defeat of the Los Angeles team. 1t
is but fair to the latter to state that by
far the strongest of their men were una
voidably absent and that the rest had but
one practice prior to yesterdays game.
The return match will be played at
Riverside so soon as opportunity presents
itself.

Although the challenge of the River
