Discretion The Better Part OF
ValOr.

Bro. Wright, Of the Augusta, Ga,
Weekly Sentinel talks very wisely
and timely of the, Hot Heads of the
Colored Race What he says is
so sensible and so well worthy OF
consideration that we reproduce it.
Not alone colored "Hot heads
but all other rashly unwise people
will gain lesson Of wisdom by read
ing and needing it.
The article says Of these Hot
heads
"There are lots of them. They
are not young men. There are some
old fools. The wisest Of them are
demagogues; the most ignorant are
simpletons. The knaves rope in
some good men and thus by chica
nery deceive the very elect. Our
people cant afford to be lead by hot
heads whether they be young or old.
Silly and incendiary speeches don &
advance our cause. Blood and thun
der resolutions won't bring to us our
rights. The colored people are not
in position to win by brute force.
In hand to hand contest with the
intelligence and wealth of the op
posite race they have not the mater
ial to match man with man. Then
what are they to do ? Leave the field
or fold their arm or lie supinely upon
their backs No; not all. Agitate
and conciliate. Wise and considerate
agitation will do much, but the ac-
emulation Of property and educa-
ton will aid a wise agitation. The
weak must be more diplomatic than
the strong Tis better to conciliate,
than to force. But where we cannot
force what other plan is left but to
conciliate."

THE GRIP BROKE,
A Cable Road Accident in Which Several

O'Clock last night a train on { he Kansas
City Gable railway was going up the incline
from the Union depot, the grip broke The

as vigorously as possible, but they failed to
work and the train with its cargo of human
freight dashed madly down the incline,
where it collided with stationary train
which had just been filled with passengers
No one was killed outright, but three persons
are believed to have been fatally injured by
the accident, to-wit
Woods Russell Hill, brakeman on the train,
was crushed between the cars and sustained
fatal injuries
AL. Sharp, of Quincy, conductor on the
Hannibal & St Joseph railway, probably
fatally injured.
d. f. Guide, gripman on the stationary
train, had thigh broken and was badly
crushed; will probably die.
The others injured are:
- Boffman, brakeman, right arm
broken.
J. A Carter, of Marion, Kansas, ankle
sprained
I. H. Hill, head bruised
J. D. Peters, of Emporia, Kan, bruised
and internal injuries
Peter Straberg, travelling man, ankle
sprained.

''The Metropolitan was weak when went

strong opposition to us from the outside.
We were aggressive.

Boycott Against Carpet Makers.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10-Within the past
few days copies of boycott circular have
been issued from the general headquarters of
the Knights of Labor in this city, against
the firm of E. S. Higgins & Company, car
pet manufacturers, of New York city, and
indirectly against three large carpet firms
in this city, and many other firms elsewhere,
who are said to deal in the goods manufac-
tured by Higgins & Company.
Higgins & Company is the firm against
whom the enmity of the general executive
board was directed last June, Immediately
after the expulsion Of District Assembly 126.
because of its loyalty to John Morrison. It
was claimed at the time that the notorious
boycott had been declared at the instance of
only portion Of the general executive
board, through spite. The affair created
considerable excitement at the time. both in
New York and in this city The present
boycott circular reaffirms the contents Of
the first one, and, like it, is signed by
John w. Hayes, secretary of the general
board

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Members of the Committee Meeting In
Chicago.

Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb 10-The members OF the
subcommittee of the National Republican
committee, which has in charge the prepara-
tions for the National Republican conven-
tion. are gathering at the Grand Pacific, and
today the rounds of corridors of that well
known hostelrie were crowded with Repub-
ican politicians.
The subcommittee is made up of John s.
Clarkson, Des Moines, president; Fessender,
of Connecticut; Hobart, of New Jersey;
Jones, of Pennsylvania; Conger, of Ohio;
CLAYTON, of Arkansas; Leland, of Kansas;
Howe, of Nebraska, and Quincy, of Texas.
The object of the meeting is the appointment
of all the citizens committees and the gen.
eral elaboration of all of the preliminary
plans for the convention. The meeting is in
reality the opening of the presidential cam
paign.
The convention meets the middle of June,
and as all the delegates to it must be selected
at least sixty days before it will require all
of the state conventions to be held by the
middle of April at least, which leaves to the
committee but a very short time for prepara-
ton. The meeting appointed local commit
tees for the purpose of carrying out Chicago's
part of the contract. By the terms Of the
proposition made to the National committee
the citizens agree to pay for all the running
expenses of the convention, including hall
rent, rent of committee rooms and printing.
The subcommittee will arrange plans for
raising money, and number of representa-
tive citizens have been invited to meet the
committee for that purpose. Instructions
have been given to the National committee
to limit the number of admissions to the
convention at any one session to 5000, and
this will keep the audience down to reasona-
BILE proportions and prevent jam of 10000
as has been the case heretofore
