Counterfeiters' Fate in China.

Two coppersmiths out of employment
in Han6ow privately formed a little
company to make copper cash, and be-
gan their operations for some reason by
melting down about eight pounds of i'm
perial copper coins. The band had made
but little progress in their secret trade,
having only manufactured altogether
some 10000 coiEs, equivalent to little
more than g. when they were captured,
tried and condemned. According to the
report. the rinSleadcr was sentenced to
iInsaediaTe dccapitation for melting down
coin of the realm; the next, who had as
sisted in the work of coming, was SEN
fenced to decapitation after imprison-
mcnt; while two others, who had pol
ished the spurious coins. and the
last, who acted as bookkeeper, were
treated not as principals. but as accesso-
ries, liable to transportation to T'urkes-
tan and employment as slaves to the
troops there-a fate believed to be worse
than immediate dccapitation. Some
other men. who seem to have had moth
ing to do with the coming Itself, but
acted as domestic servants to the princi-
pals, received sentences of three years
banishment and Il hundred blows each.--

And there follows mist and weeping rain,

Distinguished Colored Men

Walking abont the lobby arm in

faced old Southern gentleman OF
great dignity is a thick-set man OF
light coffee color. medium in height,
with a round, good natured face. The
colored man is the better known OF
the two. Perhaps he is better dressed.
His clothes are Of fine quality, but
not snowy; . shiny beaver rests
.quarely on bis head, and a good ci-
gar is held between his teeth. He is
a United States ex-senator and a
man of work in his way. The group
on the wooden bench seek his inHu-
ence, and he is a frequent visitor at
the White House. He is ex Senator,
ex-Rsgister and present lecturer
Blanche K. Bruce. The shorter and
fatter and darker man, with a much
more serious expression on his face,
who is surrounded by several of bis
race, whs are all trying to engage
him in talk at the same time, is an
other active adviser of Southern poh-
ties and appointments. He has a
grievance against the Solid South; in

JUDGE LYNCH.
More Anon

The action of the citizens of TOpe-
ka last night, in taking the foul muir
derer of A. T. Rodgers from Jail and
hanging him in the very centre of the
capital city of the state of Kansas, was
one of the most remarkable execa-
tions that has been witnessed in the
United States.
1t was not the action of a mob.
1t was not the work of intoxicants.
1t was the deliberate action of the
best and foremost citizens of Topeka.
No attempt at concealment was
made-for where all think alike
what's the use of concealment2
1t was the orderly, business senti-
mont of the city, exercising its au'
thority. in an orderly and business
manner.
Preachers, business men, doctors
lawyers and mechanics, all had . hanG
in it.
Everybody knew everybody else
and all were determined.
The place of execution bespeaks the
character and feArlessness of the men
who did the hanging.
Under the glare of an electric light
in the heart of the city, is the murd
erer strung up.
Then, their work accomplished, eacl
repairs quietly to his home.

to our rescue and helping US out, they
stand back and criticise our feeble
efferts. They are far from exempli-
flying the efforts laid down by Moses
when he saw his fellowmen in bond
age he went to their relief and said
that ne had rather suffer persecution
with the children of God than to en-
JOY the pleasure of sin for season.
Why will not some of onr noble men
and women come and be Moses for
US! These who are in the prison
house of ignorance bare your perse
cutions with us and God will be your
rewarder.
When God commissioned his
apostles to 60 and preach his Gospel
to all nations, they undoubtedly met
with many who were not in harmony
with their teaching as were certain
Of the Jews at Athens against Paul.
But we find that he was not disceur-
aged because they desired to run
things in their own way; but with
his absolute reasoning, power and OF
ability compelled many Of the Jews
to become his followers. And so it
would be with many of our smart
men and women i they would only
come out among us with patience and
the power of reasoning they would
undoubtedly accomplish great work
as did Paul at Athens.

South the votes are not counted, that
the Presidential appointments made
from Southern colored men should be
made in the States, in order that the
party may be strengthened by them,
and not taken. from their respective
States and brought to Washington,
that IN doing this, the President Gre
ates vacancies in our ranks that can
not be easily filled and such appoint

good. Should colored men receive
prominent government appointments
in the South, instead of at Washing
ton, the race would be advanced.

paper edited by Negro as being a
Democratic sheet, was a sufficient
cause for them to withdraw their sup
port at once. The CITIZEN has new
er advised the Negroes to support the
Democratic party but it has advised
them to refrain voting the Republi-

this advice will be given again when

tleman en- his manly utterances as
well as upon the happy selection of
this time at which to force all issue
upon the relative merits of colored
politicians and cOlored voters at the
South and North. Mr.. McCabe be-
gins by placing himself, his followers
and friends at the North sQuarely in
line with the theories and policy of
Mr.. Harrison as it concerns the great
national economic question. He be-
lieves that the policy Of the President
will eyentuate in the education Of
the masses up to a full and just ap-
probation and adoption of sys-
tenn Of Protection and argues the de-
velopment of such system must unite
all wage workers into wiser, more
liberal and far-reaching brotherhood,
in which all classes of citizens will be
represented and: respected according
to merit. Like sagacious politician
and thinker, he frankly states that
