The Value of Hot Water.

''.Ehe soothing effects of hot water are
fully appreciated" said physician the
other day. II recommend it to many
of my patients who suffer from insomnia
produced by nervous irritation of the
stomach, and also for certain forms of
indigestion. Many of them object to it
at first, but soon come to like it and are
generally much benefited by it." This
reminds us that the elegant Pullman
sleepers on "The Burlington's vesti-
buled trains between Chicago and St.
Paul and Minneapolis, are supplied with
hot water from the engine, by very
ingenious device, Do not imagine, how
ever, that this line keeps it's patrons in
hot water. On the contrary, no pains
are spared to give travellers the very
best accommodations and the most corr-
teous treatment. 1t is the great line to
all points East, South and North. For
tickets, rates, and any information, ap-
ply to local ticket agent, or address w..

course of which the listener is soon con-
fronted with the assertion that Protec-
ton is unconstitutional. This plea,
comparatively modern one-never hav-
ing been made during the lifetime of
the trainers ofthe Constltution-if sus-
tanned, wouldEinsure the triumph of the
free-trade policy, and would seem to af-
ford the readiest mode of attack open
to the tariff reformer. Why has the
power of Congress to enact laws for the
defense and building up of domestic in
dustries not been assailed in the practi-
cal manner here indicated, if the men
who oppose that policy believe what
they preach to others? almost daily,
questions are arising under the enforce
ment of our tariff laws, largely the out
growth of attempts by practical free
traders to evade the payment of speci.
fed duties on foreign products. Every
conceivable device has been employed
to avoid payment of tariff from which
they could have permanent exemption,
If at some stage of adjudication com.
petent courts could be induced to pro-
nounce its enforcement without warrant
in the Constitution. ..
The first Congress, composed largely
of the same patriots who aided in franz
ing the Constitution, among it's first
labors passed law avowee!ly for the en-
couragement Of domestic manufactures.
During the discussions accompanying
this action no one assailed the proposed
law as unconstitutional, and for long
years thereafter the fathers and trainers
of the Constitution were found differing
only upon questions Of expediency in
the shaping Of tariff: laws. It remained
for philosophers and theorists of a later
day to find out that the men who framed
our organic law were the first to violate
it by insuring the defense of industries
then, as now, essential to the growth
and independence of the country.
If the free-trade preachers believe
their own teachings, why does not some
one of them get the supreme court to
determine the constitutionalty of pro-
tective-tariff laws? With an honorary
member of the free-trade Golden Club
appointed as one of said court by the
last administration, the prospects for
favorable decision are not likely ever to
be better than now.

Conference Comments.

Some of the preachers at the Milwau-
kee conference went about looking like
rag pickers and kept thoir new suits hid
away until the last day; the result was
the people refused to entertain the
shabby looking persons and left them
to sleep in the basement Of the church.
That was one time when the fellows
who seem. to delight in putting up
poor mouth got left. There is class
of preachers who are chronic beggars
and who appear to strive to look poor,
shabby, and forlorn; the lesson may do
them good.
The M. +. Churches all placed their
pulpits at the disposal of the conference
'on the Sabbath, and the conference com
mittee. with the characteristic poor
judgment of some of the race, appointed
some of the poorest and least represent
tative preachers to appear before the
large and we'll educated congregations;
the church therefore, instead of gaining
prestage, in many cases lost it. The
Colored man who is so prejudiced
against the talented Of his own race as
to do thus is unfit to be trusted with Of
fee or responsibility.
The Rev. Dr.. Coppin was assigned to
suburban church, while stammering
ill-clad ignoramus was appointed to
preach at one of the chief city churches.
The Colored people, by keeping ignor-
ant men in power cut their own throats.
The conference by unanimous vote
expelled Rev. w. G. Reed from the Con-
nection, the immediate grounds were
disobedience and rebellion altho agh
grave limitations were made that many
charges of gross immortality were forth
coming. .s
Nearly an entire day was spent trying
the cases of Revs. G. II. Thomas and R.
Knight, Presiding Elder. The Bishop
gave each reprimand which would
last an ordinary man a lifetime. Rev.
Knight had made half dozen changes
of pastors during the interval of confer
ence, but was reminded that he was
only Presiding Elder and not Bishop
and that he acted without authority and
would be hauled over the Goals pretty
lively if he again ventured so far beyond
his duty.
Rev. Solomon Nichols was suspended
for one year.
On the whole the conference was of
credit to the church and the race. -

LANGSTON'S DEMANDS.

Under the above caption, the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, of recent date
in leading editorial makes character
istically fair statement of Virginia
politics and the part played therein by
Hon. John NJ. Langston. This metro
politan journal says that u. M. Langs-
ton, the Negro leader does not give in
an unco nditional adherence to the can
didate of his party in Virginia. He will
support Gen. Malone he announces,
providing he obtains the aid of the lead
ing Republicans of Virginia, of the men,
bers of the Republican National Com
mittee and of every Republican Con-
gresham IN his contest for the seat in
the House of Representatives to which
he lays claims" After giving an ex-
ceedingly accurate history of the nom.
ination of Langston as the regular Re-
publican candidate for congress, in the
Petersburg District, the placing by Ma
hone of Arnold for the same seat, the
attitude of Malone towards Langston in
the election, the Globe concludes as
follows: "Langston can give valuable
aid to the Republican ticket this year,
and this aid will be extended if the Re-
publican leaders agree to furnish him
the reasonable and just measure of as
sistance which he seeks" The APPEAL
is proud of Mr.. Langston's course in his
political moves in the Old Dominion.
Now let Malone be as reasonable and
Langston will get the seat in congress to
which he was fairly elected and the
little boss-thougb far from being per.
tecl-will stand an excellent chance of
being governor Of Virginia, which he
never can be with the opposition, or
even luke-warmness, of John NJ. Langs-
ton.

r. PIP.

A few months ago, young man ar
rived in the Sanity City just from the
wild woolv West where he had lived
for years among the Indians. He bore
with him a secret which promises to be
a veritable boon to suffering humanity,
being nothing more nor less than a
simple, speedy, certain and permanent
cure for Hemorrhuids or Piles, which
he has named: "PILES PERMANENT
PARALYZER." This disease is very
common; one out of every ten being af-
fected with it, in greater or less degree.
1t is caused bv the congestion of the ad-
domenal .venous circulation which event.
ually results in the formations OF tumors,
and frequent hemorrhage or discharge
OF blood, or, in some cases, Discharge
mucus, or violent itching. lnelc are
many remedies which are n.nse or less
beneficial but this remedy which this
young man obtained from an old Indian
chief is a certain and speedy cure. He
has used it with such marvellous results
that company is forming for it's manu-
facture and sale. For the present it
may be found at McMas,ers drug store
cor. Seventh and Wabasha, the Eureka
saloon No. 1884, Minnesota street and
ut the Office of THE APPEAL. The follow:
ing named persons have been cured of
piles with ''P. P. Pr within the past
month, and all doubling Thomases are
referred to them for testimonials of it's
value: Samuel Edwards, Wesley Slaugh-
ter. Andrew Mack, Dan Taylor, Mrs.
Mary Edwards, Mrs. Hattie Brown and
a number of others. Moreover, any one
purchasing boxsof Up. P. Pr and after
using it according to directions for one
week without beneficial results, may
have his money refunded. The price is
IS cents per box. A fair trial will con-
vincesthe most skeptical, no matter how
long you have been troubled nor what
you lave done for relief without avail,
the Piles Permanent Paralyzer will cure
you, not only relieve you, but CURE you.
If you are sufferer from that trouble
some disease don't delay get box of P.
P. P. and be happy. This remedy is not
for all the ills that flesh is heir to but
only cures piles. Remember that P. r,
P. only cures piles and does it's work

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER, q 1889.

Undoubtedly the greatest act of Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln was the striking
off the shackles from 4 ,00O, 900 slaves by
his emancipation proclamation twenty
six years age. During all these years
his memory, has been kept green by
those who w; re made free-men by this
act, and their defendants. Tomorrow
is the twentY-seventh anniversary OF the
notable ev'jnt, but being Sunday the
Colored people in various parts of the
country a1e holding concentrating SER
vices to-dAy and in other parts their
" celebrations will be held tomorrow.
All the prominent Colored speakers in
this land are engaged to deliver ad-
dresses at the different celebrations.
This is as itshould be. Before that men,
orable act the status of the Colored
people of America WAS very uncertain.
Those who were free had no assurance
that they would remain so, and there
are hundreds of instances where they
were sold into slavery; the greed for
gold so stiles the consciences of ordin-
AIRY human beings that they will do any
thing to obtain it; even to selling their
own offspring into state worse than
death. We would be undeserving of
the great boon of freedom did. we not
make each recurring anniversary day
for general rejoicing. If the,e is one day
of year, which, more than another, the
Colored people of the United States
should hold sacred and devote to thanks
giving to Almighty God, and to rejoicing
that day is the anniversary of the day
upon which the martyred Lincoln issued
his immortal emancipation proclama-
ton. We should on that day each and
every one lay aside every other duty
and let our paramount object be to
show to the world that we fully appre-
ciated the change in our condition. It is
not enough for us to feel this within our
selves and give nooutward signs, but we
should make a joyful noise unto the Lord
with timbrels. and harps, and brass
bands. We should all with one accord
meet together and listen to the utter
ances of the best speakers among US,
which should tend to make us rejoice
and feel exceeding glad. It has been
the custom for the past two years
through the courtesy of tie manage
mentor the Colored people of Mime
sofa to hold their celebration in the
Minneapolis Exposition and this year
the same courtesy is extended. Accom-
mittee of management has been formed
which has made arrangements Tor the
usual celebration. 1t was impossible to
obtain any of the famous orators for the
occasion, but able LEGAL speakers have
been secured and the celebration will
take place Monday afternoon. Let us
all show the people of Minnesota that
we are free by turning out enmass at
the exposition next Monday afternoon.
