BosToN, Sept. IA body of colorcd men
met to-day pursuant to a call inviting con
ference between the leading colored men to
assist in the organization of movement to
secure from the political party of our affili
alton fair shares IN its responsibilities, OPP
portunitles and honors." Resolutions were
adopted declaring that they ask for no favors
that are withheld from other citizens or to
which they are not entitled, but 1--WE do ask
for that civil and political homo
geneity which invades no mans pri-
vate social rights, put which does lie
at the foundation of national unity.
We do not believe that all our grievances
can be cured by polilics We council against
the entering of politics for a livelihood in
lieu of entering other fields of industry. We
emphasize the Importance of acquiring
homes and personal property and urge tho
necessity of it. We warn our country men
that if the violence done women and child
ren. the burning of schools and churches,
the obstruction of homes and the murder of
defenceless men are not prevented by the
strong arm of the law, the patience long
suffering and forbearancc characteristic OF
our people will be goaded into hate, and to
striking out in self-defcnce We pray to be
permitted to live within the law, but If we
are driven to do otherwise the blame will
not be ours"
A permanent committee was appointed to
carry out the purpose outlined in the call.

II. l.. began suit in the circuit court against
Adam S. Clos, to redeem some Chicago
property which was sold for taxes IN 1879.
Mr.. Helmer loses his right to a redemption
