THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.

The Freeman's Journal is an organ of the
 colored people published in Galveston, Texas.
 It has something to say against the negro
 problem which attract attention both in the
 South and in the North. It tells the negro
 that he must learn one great fundamental
 truth, and act on it-that the color or pre-
 vious condition is not recommendation for
 office; that when the great Republican party
 knocked the shackles from his limbs, raised
 him to citizenship and made him the equal of
 the white man under the constitution, and
 law and it's functions, ceased because it could
 do no more, and it expected him to work out
 his own salvation the same as the white man
 and to expect no legislation or favors to his
 race that are net accorded to the white man.
 And it continues: If the present. administra-
 tion by its treatment of the colored race will
 forcibly impress this on the minds of the
 negro 1t will confer an inestimable blessing
 on the race. If it will frankly say to the tion than the Caucasian and will receive no
 more, it will establish & healthier state of af-
 fairs ond give politics higher tone and place the Republican party on firm and enduring basis in the South. If it will say to the colored man, you must stand on your own bottom, think and act for yourself, raise yourself in intelligence, rely on your own judgment, be guided by the dictates of your own conscience and do not let yourself be led by designing, interruptions men, but as- sert your own manhood and independence without infringing on the rights of your neighbors by the white or black. Then the Harrison administration will go down in his- tory as one of the most no.able in the annals of the country.
 This view of the matter will receive much approval, especially in the South. Thus the Fort Worth Gazette says: The condition precedent to breaking up of the implied compact between the Southern white must
 be an abandenmentsof thei Republican claim that the numbers of the negro entitled then to power. That concession we understand tl be implied by the policy announced by ths administration. If it is faithfully carried out it is not unlikely that at an early day the political division of the South will be read ! justed, put upon the same basis as those o other sections, and cease to represent simply fears of intelligence on one hand and the pre- \ judices of ignorance on the other

the tuition of colored pupils, but declined to give promise thas no white pupil should be admitted to any of their classes, arguing that the State legislature had no right to impose such a condition on private chartered insti- tuition, such as Atlanta university is.
 President Harrison's understanding of the relations between the president and members of congress with regard to appointments will meet general approval. He recognizes then as the representatives of republican opinion in their States and districts, and is disposed to give great weight to their recommends tions. Yet he sees that they may take posi- tion regarding the patronage that would be dangerous to them and the party. His theory is that the administration is the court for passing upon candidates, and the mem bers of congress are the most important witt nesses in helping the court to correct deci- sions. The president wishes them to feel that their testimony is of the greatest inpor- tance to him, but they will make a serious | mistake if they imagine that, instead of tes- tifying, they are making decisions.

SNEEzIkG CATARRH.

The distressing sneeze, sneeze, sneeze. the acrid, watery discharges from the eyes and nose the painful inflammation extending to the throat the swelling of the mucous lining, causing choking sensations, cough, ringing noises in the head and splitting headaches-how familiar these symptoms are to thousands who suffer periodically from head colds or influenza and who live in ignorance ot the fact that single application of Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh will afford instantaneous relief.
 But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh gives but faint idea of what this remedy will do in the chronic forms, where the breathing is ob- structed by choking, putrid mucous accumulatfons, the hearing affected, smell and taste gone throat ulcerated and hacking cough gradually fastening itself upon the debilitated system Then 1t Is that the marvellous curative power of Sanford's Radi: cal Cure manifests itself in instantaneous and grateful relief. Cure begins from the first apPiica- ton. It is rapid. radical, permanent, economical, safe

The ministry has been slow to take it up and poodle colony had been sufficient for it's sup- pression. But under the spur of the opposi- ton and the criticisms of the more reputable newspapers it has been forced to the front, and will probably become law. It will be benefit to both Canada and the United States.

Mrs. W. O. Leeds, wife of one of the rich est men in Indiana. has secured evidence that nineteen different saloonkeepers in Michigan City have sold liquor to her hus- band this year after she had, in accordance with the law, formerly notified them not to do so. She proposes to have the saloonkeep- CTS suffer from $10 to $100 for every drink sold to Mr. Leeds after notice was given. Her investigation showed incidentally that out of sixty-6ve places in Michigan City where liquor is sold only ffty-one are licensed. It is rumored that MT. Leeds has promised to ] support the saloonkeepers and supply the sinews of war. The amount of money he can control is estimated to be $5, ,000,0 ,000.
 A Michigan toothpick factory uses birch wood exclusively. The logs are sawed into pieces twenty-eight inches long, which are | thoroughly steamed and then cut into veneer. | The veneer is cut into long ribbons three | inches in width, and these ribbons, eight or | ten of them at time, are run through the toothpick machinery, coming out at the other ! end, the perfect pieces falling into one bas- l ker the broken pieces and refuse falling into another. The picks are packed into boxes, l. ,5OO in box, by girls, mostly comely look
 ing young squaws, and are then packed into
 cases and finally into big boxes, ready fo1
 shipment. About 7,500,00O toothpicks are

The Barkeeper's Match.


A New York paper says: The fell
low who is always on the lookout for
tricks to beat the barkeeper with has
discovered new one. He tried it in a
Park row saloon the other evening, and
it proved a great success. He walked
in and lifted bunch of matches out of
a box on the bar, and was putting them
in his pocket, when the barkeeper in
terposed with:
"Them's no good to you; they light
only on the box"
"That so? Well, I never see match
yet that 1 couldn't light, box or no
box"
well, then, you see one now." re-
torted the barkeeper.
@Oh, do I? Bet you the drinks I can
Light these without any box"
$50 you," said the barkeeper.
Thereupon the smart young fellow
selected one of the matches, stepped
over to the cigar case, struck it on the
glass and then held it under the aston
ished barkeeper's nose while it burned.
The barkeeper set up the drinks, but
he half suspected that he was the vic
tim of hocus pocus; that in fact the
fellow had substituted an ordinary brim-
stone match for the Eight only on the
box" article. But it's all square. Any
body can do it. You simply give the
match quick, heavy stroke on any
hard, polished surface, glass or mar
BILE, grasping it tightly close to the

Alas! How Fleeting Ia Fame.

Men become famous and are forgot
ten. In the last generation George
Lippard was one of the most popular
novelists. He wrote book after book,
and everybody read them and called for
more. OF all the sensational and lurid
story writers that this country has pro-
duced he was easily the first. His i'm
motion was boundless and riotous. His
style was blood-curdling. Lippard
leaped into the MONDAY blaze of notori-
ETY. at once, aud became as popular in
his day as Rider Haggard is in ours.
He was painstaking writer, master
of the mysteries of sensational story
telling, and lie wrote good English.
Daniel Webster was certainly a man of
good literary judgment. If he could
find Lippard's romances fascinating it is
fair to suppose they had merit. The
great statesman was an enthusiastic adj
mirer of the novelist. He pronounced
him man of genius and predicted en-
during fame for his works. But where
are these once popular novels to-day,
and who knows anything about the au-
thor? Even in New York, city full of
bookstores, one has to appeal to the
newspapers to answer the question.
just what happened to Lippard may
befall many man who is now working
like slave to win fame and fortune.
To-day mans mamie is ringing through
the land; tomorrow it will be remem-
bered by few, and day after to-mor-
row men will write to the newspapers
asking whether the man really lived or
was only myth. Such is fame in nintY-
nine cases out of one hundred. But
men will long for it, fight for it, and die
for it to the end of the world.

Grave Cause for Anxiety

An Editors Experience.

Major Sidney Herbert, q wellknown journalist in
agricultural circles, writes April 18th. 1889: Some
five years ago wrote letter stating that Swift's
Specific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since
that time have had no return of the rheumatic
troubles, although frequently exposed to the infu-
ences that produced former attacks. Several of my
friends had a similar experience, and are firm in
their conviction that s. s. s. brought permanent
cure. The searching power of this medicine Ia
shown in the fact that it developed scrofulous
taint that was conspicuous in my blood over thirty
years ago, and has removed the last trace of It.
have also tested s. s. 8. as tonic after severe
attack of malarial fever which kept me in bed for
three months, and am convinced that its curative
and strengthening properties insured my recovery
from that illness, was in very low condition Of

Electric LIghiL,r as a Science.

To the Chica-o, MilHaukee and ST.
Paul R'y Co. beloIgs the credit Of being
the first in the county 10 uneertake sys-
temshc experimenting in the direction OF
steam m-heating of niIsay trains. The
perfection of the system tiay have elab-
GRATED Is well known to the travelling pub
lie, its elements of safety, e1tonatlo
regulation Of temperature and perfect
ventilation, leaving nothing to be desired.
The energies of the company have now
been directed towards progress in light
ing, and to-day attention is called to
what are unquestionably the most per-
fectly appointed trains in this respect in
the world. They have by costly expert
m ant and careful study reduced the mat
ter OF electric lighting of trains to scien-
tifc perfection, and the introduction Of
several unique features has made possible
the attainment of q degree of comfort
unheard of heretofore.
The apparatus for heating and lighting
is of perfect and elaborate character, be-
ing. in fact, q complete central station
plant in miniature on each train and un-
der the constant supervision of a special
attendant, whose duty it is to see that at
all times the amount of heat and light
supplied is regulated according to the
requirements. No accident to the en-
gine or dynamo machine can cause an
interruption to the light, as reserve
plant of batteries is carried for such an
emergency.
Leading from the dynamo room and
regulators the main wires pass out and
over the roofs of the cars to flexible con-
nections between them, thence to switch
hnQrdo nd caf fafx la iYaa
finally through branch wires to the lamps.
These have been lavishly introduced in
both cars and vestibules, producing Q
brilliant illumination without the attond-
ant annoyance of heat, odor, or other
disagreeable features inseparable from
the use of oil.
One of the novel features introduced
In the sleeping cars is a patent electric
reading lamp in each section. With this
luxurious provision reading at night,
before or after retiring, becomes as COM
Portable as by day, and when retiring the
toilet may be made in comfort and seclu-
sion.
It is fact we'll known to travellers
that, although car may appear brill
iantly illuminated upon entering, few
moments reading will severely try the
eye-sight, and show that it is in reality
far from perfectly lighted. The Berth
Reading Lamp introduces the exact con-
ditions of the study lamp at home, cast
ing an agreeable and brilliant light di-
rectly upon the work.
In construction it consists of an ele-
gantly designed metal case containing an
electric lamp so hidden that the light is
thrown only in the direction wished, and
its use does not interfere with the COM
fort of others. When no longer needed
shutter may be drawn and the light OBJ
scured. This feature, found alone upon
the vestibule trains of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway, needs only
trial to be appreciated.
@Let your light SO shine before men
that they may see your good works"
