A p,minut,ve Marriage Fee.

A story IS told about a Kingston IN. "
minister's marriage fee that causes smuse-
ment among the clergy. he was paid 81 for
marrying couple. After they departed he
was about to hand the money to his wife
when the door-bell was ruag. The pewly-
married wife said she wanted certificate.
No marriage was good without one. II cost
TWENTY-FIVE cents for blank that would suit
her. The reverend gentleman. filed the
blank out In the usual form. and she went
away seemingly satisfied. A few days later
she again appeared at the door. "Mister,"
said the woman in Sn aggrieved tone, al
looked through the papers and can't ind a
notice OF our wedding. You ought not to
treat us different from other folks" 20 the
dominic went TO a newspaper.office and paid
fifty cents to have notice inserted. When
he reached home he handed the remaining
twenty-five cents to his wife with the re-
mark: "Here. my dear, hurry up and take
this before that woman makes another call"

A North Carolina negro who was In
weighed INTO going to Liberia has written to
one OF bis white folks that II the latter will
help him to return home be [the negrol Will
WORK for mis- old white playmate on fhe farm
until any debt for said help shall have been
satisfied. The negro adds:
"Sometlmes have nothing TO eat but po-
tatoes, qss. snakes, rats, and anything we
can get hold Of. We are all so poor one Is
not able to help another"
II will not be long before good many
OF the recent negro exodusters from North
Carolina will be writing just such letters to
their white folks at home. Those who have
gone North and West especially will find
that when they ask for bread they will re-
ceiye stone, and when they ask for fish
they will receive a serpent, except about
election time.

Ex-Gov. Lewis e. Parsons of Alabama
has been stopping at the West this week.
In an interview with one of the Tribune
reporters. he said as to the Negro of the
South he did not think that they are vet
prepared to use the ballot intelligently,
and believed it will be along time before
the Colored man reaches the stage of en-
ightenment which will entitle him to the
franchise. Mr.. Parson received his 20
sition as governor by process ofappoint-
ment from President Johnson during
the days of reconstruction. The Colored
people that were under him clearly re-
member the assistance they received
from this man. Let the distinguished
gentleman become candidate for some
office requiring the votes of the laymen
of the South; then he will plainly per.
ceive their enlightenment and ability to
use the ballot intelligently. Just such
men as he are the stumbling blocks to
our progress in the South and North.

Gone to his Reward

The people of st. Paul suffered an ir-
repalrable loss by the death of Hon. Ed
mund Rice, which occurred last week.
Mr.. Rice was one of the pioneers of the
Northwest, and was well known in bust
ness, professional and political circles
throughout the state. He was born in
Vermont in 1919 and was therefore 70
years old at the time of his death which
was caused by softening of the brain.
He was very friendly disposed toward
the Colored people, and had many warm
friends among them.
His career in politics included service
in the territorial and state legislatures,
IN both branches of the latter, as mayor
OF st. Paul and as member of congress-.
He was member of the territorial leg
islature in 1851. In 1864 he was elected
to the state senate, and again in 1874.
lie was member of the house ofrepre-
sentatlves in 1867, 1872, 1877, and 1878.
In 1881 he was elected mayor of St. Paul
and served until 1883. He was again
chosen in 1885, and his term had not ex-
plred when he was elected in November
1856, as member of CONGRESS- from the
Fourth district. He resigned his office
as mayor of st. Paul in February, 1877,
prior to going to Washington to enter
upon his duties as congressman. He
served his term in the national congress
and was candidate for reelection
against Capt S. P. Snider, at the last
election: though at the solicitation of his
party and against bis own wishes.
He was popular among men of all sta
tlons, and although democrat, his po-
lltlcal opponents could find no words to
say against him. His funeral occurred
last Saturday at St. Paups Episcopal
church.

Tribute to Hon. Edmond Rice

Editor OF IHE APPEAL: I wish to ex-
press through the columns of your paper
the sense of deep and sincere sorrow
telt by the Colored citizens of St.. Paul
in the death of the late ex-Congressman
Edmond Rice. OF his pure patriotism,
noble and generous charity and love of
humanity all are aware, while on all
questions regarding our race in St. Paul,
he proved himself true and tried
friend. To his efforts are largely due
the good standing, advancement and
elevation which characterize the Colored
citizens of st. Paul, and few of his
actions having in view the advance
ment of our people may here be re-
counted.
remember that while mayor of this
city in 1888, some Of our Colored citizens
called upon him and asked for the ap-
pointment of Colored policeman. His
answer was: Il desire to give your race
the same consideration as all others.
Send me man your race, recommend
ed by you, and I will appoint him.
They sent Mr.. William Thomas. He
was the first Colored citizen that held a
position underline city government.
Mr.. /. w. Evans superseded Mr..
Ihoms, Mr.. Louis Liverpool superseded
Mr.. Evans, Mr.. Thos. Jefferson super
coded Mr.. Liverpool, in November,
1885. The Colored citizens petitioned
the board of fire commissioners for
Colored fire company. The petition was
read and placed on file, and remained
there for three long years, and was only
resurrected through personal letter
written by this hearted man.
who always was ready to help the op-
pressed and downtrodden. Hence the
present chemical fire company No. 4.
This generous-hearted man also contri-
buted largely to the establishment of the
Western Appeal" the only Colored
newspaper in the Northwest. The Col
ored citizens of this city organized a
Colored military company, who styled
themselver the Rice guards, after the
name of this good man.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it can be seen that
never at any time did the Colored citi-
zens call upon Mr.. Rice that he did not
give to them the rights he felt justly be-
longing to them. He also accepted an
invitation and delivered the welcome
address to the African Grand Lodge of
Masons. who convened here in our CITY
Sept. l, 1885. He will ever live in the
memory Of these people. May peace be
unto MS ashes. THOMAS H. LYLEs.
