a Benefit to L. N. Scott

The manager of the Newmarket The.
atre, Mr.. /. N. Scott, took the old Market
Hall and fitted it up at considerable ex-
pense Immediately after the burning of
the Opsra House, and since that time
has furnished the theatre going public
an unbroken line of first class attractions.
In appreciation of his efforts as a man
sger and caterer to the pleasure of the
public, a number of prominent St. Paul
people decided to tender Mr.. Scott a
benefit. The signitures of nearly three
hundred of the leading citizens both
Colored and white were attached to the
tender.
Mr.. Scott has replied to the signers
thanking them and has named Monday,
Oct. q, as the date for the benefit. On
that date John H. Russell's Comedy
Company will appear in the new success
"Tbe City Directory" Mr.. Scott has
been successful manager and has not
made any odious distinctions on account
of the color of his patrons as the man
ager of Harris theatre is now doing. All
respectable people have been t"eated
alike by Mr.. Scott and while his ia
nothing more thar right we hope the
Colored people will turn out in .arge
numbers at MIR. SCOTS benefit and show
by their presence that they appreciate
the fact that he did right and fair with
them.

Mrs. Lucinda Perry was married about
three years ago to one Samuel Herrins.
Their welded life proved unhappy and
in about one year after their marriage a
separation took place. Since that Mr..
Herrins moved to Louisville, KY, where
it is said he joined his family, wife and
two children, which Mrs. Perry or Her
rims No. 2. YVES not aware of. She now
wishes an investigation, and in the
meantime asks all her friends to call her
Mrs. Perry.
The entertainment given by the St.
Peters A. NJ. E. church choir last Friday
evening ut the residence of Mrs. r J.
Coleman's proved success in every
particular. In pleasantness none has
been given this season surprising it..
Mrs. Coleman has abeautifully furnished
house and been the first to throw her
doors open to the public for the bene-
fit Of the church. AS she has been the
first to testify in this way her interest
IN the welfare of St. Peters church, we
are assured that parlor entertainments
will be popular in the future. The choir

THE STATE LEAGUE OF ILLINOIS,
The conference at Springfield has adj
journed after doing some practical work.
It has taken the initiatory steps towards
organizing what will hereafter be known
as the "Colored Mans League of Hin
OILS" with auxiliary bodies in every vot-
ing precinct of the State. The exper-
lence ofthe past few years has demon
strated the necessity for such q move
ment. For years we have depended on
the managers of the Republican party
for that just recognition of our services,
which we are entitled to, and which
time and again has been denied.
Through the medium of this organiza-
ton the Colored electors of the State
will find themselves in an independent
position. We need 40 longer solicit
favors, We shall demand our just dues
and our pro rata share of everything.

THE COOK COUNTY ELECTION,

Preparations are now in progress to
nominate ten County Commissioners for
Cook County, Ill. The Republican
managers are already looking up their
representatives; Irish, German. Swede,
Scandinavian, ETC., we desire to call the
attention of these gentlemen to the fact
tnat we have few native born Ameri-
cans who will demand from that conven-
ton representative on the County
ticket. THE APPEAL has no pet candi-
date, but if the Republican convention
does not know of one we are ready to
furnish them with list of one hundred
honorable and intelligent men, any one
of whom is the peer of any member of
the present or any past Board of Com
missioners of this County. To the Colored
delegates of that convention we say de-
mand representative. If refused walk

The letter then touches upon the sup
preston of Colored suffrage in the South
by shameful and inhuman methods and
and condemns certain of the Northern
press for quietly acquiescing in these
methods. Southern statesmen are con-
demned for raising the cry of NEGRO
domination" as the excuse for the exist
ence ofthose evils. The league appeals
to Congress to enforce the law which is
vested in it ard demands federal pro-
lection to the end that they may enjoy
theirGod.given and constitutional rights
The address also calls attention to the
opening of the new states in the North

MEMORIES.


Once more beneath my yearning eyes
The deep-secluded vale appears;
Once moro see the mountains rise
Thatsin the dimly distant years,
Behold our bitter parting tears.
The meadow path by which3we walked
In those old days that were So sweet,
The stream that talks asSthen it talked.
As3 The low-roofeds church, the yillage,strcet.
That once was glad beneath her feet.
Each common object seems to say
With me In mute, complaining moan:
The light is parted from our DAY:
She once was here, but now is gone,
And We are left alone-aloner
wander on, yet, as go,
The Joy to view each well-loved scens
Is vanQuished by the greater woe,
To think OF oil that might have been
Had hard fate not stepped between.
Farewell once more my hearts sad home;
Once more go; yet, wheresoe'er
Through length OF weary days I roam,
One memory, heart-enshrined bear
This mountain valley green and fair.
AND the sweet flower that blossomed there

Mr. LANGSTON SURE OF HIS SEAT.

Mr. LANGsTON SURE OF HIS SEAT.
The election in the new States, the LIST
instant, has made Republican ascend.
ency comparatively easy in 1892. But
it has also settled beyond doubt the
seating of Hon. John NJ. Langston in the
Fifty-lirst Congresses to be convened.
Of course all fairr,inded people of the
country know we'll that Mr.. Lansston
was elected to congress last November,
bv from three to five thousand majority.
It was feared, however, that as the two
political parties Were about even in
numbers in the House, that one or two
recalcitrant Republican members might
be found, who with the aud ofthe strong
Democratic minority, should defeat the
will Of the voters of the Petersburg Dis
trict, and deprive their honored towns
man of the position to which they had
splendidly elected him. The five new
congressman from the recently added
commonwealth make a beautiful change
in the scene. Justice will take its
proper course now and Mr.. Langston
will speak and work forthe Colored race
in the House Of Representatives soon to
meet at Washington. a.ss
The recent letter Of Mr.. Langston, in
favor of the Republican candidates for
State Offices in Virginia. has made his
own victory highly probable; the re-

kITERED AT P0sIeFfJCE As SECOND CLISS IIf7E1
SATURDAY, OCTOBER, 70 1889.

Postmaster General Wanamaker did,
avery. commendable act in issuing an
order closing to postoffice at Luverne,
Ala. Three mouths ago William Bonez
"a Colored, man was appointed postmaster
at Luyerne, a small village, the popula-
ton of which is mainly white. The. new
postmaster experienced great difficulty
in getting bondsmen. but finally Sue
'ceedipg in finding two men WHO for a
consideration, agreed to go on his. bond.
Then new difficulty presented itself.
1t is, customary in such small places as
Luverne for the postmaster, in case he
is not q merchant. to establish the Office
An some other PERSONS store, receiving
Ehe necessary accommodation rent free,
in return for the patronage, which,
postotiice is supposed to bring to the es-s
tablishment. Butts boycott had been
instituted against ,Bonez, and. he found
it impossible to make any such arrange
-ment. Then he started out to hire an
office but no one of the, Bonrbons in the
. place would either rent him office room
: or a whole building. Aftera longsearch
however, the owner ofan old unocupied
building agreed to rent it to him at
an exorbitant price. .Bonez moved in
and hung out his sign as, post master,
but so determined were the hellish
Southerners that Colored man should
not be postmaster that the very night
after he, opened the postoAice, a, mob col
ected ana the building was burned.
When Postmaster General Wanamaker
heard of the facts in the case, he con-;
cludea to discontinue the office at
Luwerne, and now the cut-throats, build:
ing burners, ruffians and midnight as .
sassins, living at that place who thought
themselves too nice to receive letters
from the hands of Colored postmaster:
will have to 50 twenty miles toanother,
postofice to get the occasional letter
which very few of them could read.

spirit of it's authors stimulate Galveston,
Sabine Pass, AranSa as Pass and Others
to like exhibition of their confidence in
The feasibility of the harbOrs they sd-
vocate. Take Galveston, for Insta nee.
If men, whose interests in the state az
gregare probably less than ten
million dollars can undertake
the construction of harbOT
as a business venture, with a view to
making more valuable their interests.
surely Galveston, with its $40 200 600 or
$50 900 900, can take a similar risk.
Remembering the interminable length Of
time consumed i'll the construction Of
works of public improvement undertaken
by the government, the weary waiting
for appropriations the long peferTed be-
ginning of work, the slow methods,
the endless rolls of red tape TO
be unwound and all the causeIess and
long delays, it would surely seem that
the immense interests involved would
lead to more definite and energetic action
than appeals to congress. If deep water
across the Galveston bar can be Sc
cured and permanently maintained,
then the construction of such
works as will accomplish this would
prove a profitable investment for
vate capital of Galveston declines TO
thus show its faith in the undertaking,
the immeasurable benefits to enure TO
the city in the building up of q great
shipping business would justify the
outlay on the part of the municipal
authorities. The harbOr of Baltimore,
for instance, is maintained largely By
municipal expenditure. The United
States government it is true does some
thing towards maintaining the present
depth and width of the ship channel, but
the city finds it profitable TO supplement
what the government spends by large
annual appropriations out OF its own
treasury
That harbOr on the Texas coast capa-
bic of accommodating ocean shipping 10
more urgently needed, and by a larger
area than any other great work by any
section of the country; that the
United States government owes It
to the people of the vast area
of territory interested to provide
fully and without delay for this want,
are unquestIonable facts. but il is also
unfortunately fact that if Texas had 10
wait for its port until it shall have
have been procured through government
tai action, it would wait until the need
for it had been overcome by the diver-
sion of the course of development
to other directions. Fortunately this
possibility is removed by the work of pr-
vate effort and capital at the BraZOs.
Now let others take up the work at other
points, if there Is need of further faciI-
ties, and if there are available localities.
