CHICAGO, Nav 5.-William Turner,
in fit of frenzy, jumped out of bed
this morning and Drained hls six
months old baby and attempted to
murder his wife and then cut his own
throat with a table knife. The wife,
diyining his purpose, tried to save
her infant, but he caught It up and
beat out its brains against the wall.
Then siezing a knife the maniac pur-
sued the woman from the house. The
police, when summoned, found him in
room pacing up and down and sing
ing a lullaby to the corpse Of his in
FAINT, which he held in his arms. The
blood was streaming from the wound
in his neck, inflicted in his attempt

CABINET PORTFOLIO.

While the Negro vote in the late
national campaign no doubt made
victory for the Republican party pos
sible, and as such should receive some
marked evidence of apprec iation, yet
we seriously doubt the wisdom OF
making any special demand for cab
met position. The party as whole
is not ready nor willing to take such
an advanced step. Let our leading
men cease fighting each other, and
unite in securing such positions al

Will Mayor Metsker and his off,
GERS take walk along the north side
of LIST Avenue some muddy day and
see how they would like to have their
children wade through that sea of
mud four times each day in order to
attend school. The City Council
has twice ordered crossings put in
on 1st Ave. from Adams to Kansas
Avenue, and yet there is not cross
ing on the north side of that street.
Is it not the duty of eur good Mayor
to enforce the orders of the Council?
Do not the people living north o.
that street pay taxes for the support
of the city in common with otheI
patrons of the city? If so why have
their street crossings been torn W
and left so for three years!

20 MILES DISAPPEAR.

Thirty miles of country is big
thing to disappear, but this distance
has been dropped out between Kan
sas City and Chicago. How it hap
pened Is thus figured out: The Chi
cago, Santa Fe & California Railway
is completed between. Kansas City
and Chicago, and the distance be-
tween the two cities is only 458 miles
measuring from Union Depot. Kan
sas CITY, to Dearborn Station, Chica-
20. This is exactly thirty miles less
than by any of the old lines, so you
have to travel thirty miles less' your
freight has to be hauled thirty miles
less. and practically the Santa Fe has
made thirty miles disappear. A few
years at this rate and Kansas will oe
in New England.

The "Kansas City Gazette" edito-
rally says:
"Every day the wires are burdened
with news from Hayti. The thing is
getting tiresomc, and it is about time
for white folks and Christians to step
in and put an end to the dirty mud
die. There seems to be two parties,
each striving for the mastery. One
led by Legitimate and the other by
Hippolyite. The Inhabitants off
from the towns of the sea coast in
tho interior are degraded race, civ
en- to excuses of every kind. Some
of them are cannibals, and they sac
ri6ced a young girl recently in their
voodooisn and ate a portion of the
flesh. They want regiment or two
of Yankee or British soldiers amongst
them to keep the peace, then ship in
a lot of soap and COMPEL them to gel
clean, for you can never civilize then
so long as they are so utterly filthy
At all events, something should b
done to give the wires a chance t.
furnish US some clean news.
| 1t seems to us that the white folk
and Christians have broad field TO
missionary operations here at home
; For a more dirty, savage and mud
died state of affairs never existe
than is to be found in Christia
America. The thing ls getting to b
painfully tiresome. And we fe:
quite sure that the "white folks an

STATE MASS CONVENTION.

WHEREAS, it is evident that the
defeated democracy of the South,
with that plAusibility fer which they
are celebrated, are seeking By con-
certed action to thwart the legitimate
expectations of the Republicans of
the South and prevent the restoration
to all citizens of their rights and
privileges:
By falsely claiming that the col
Ored people desire to dominate the
whites in government.
By unjustly alleging undue ign"'
rance on the side of the colored peO'
ple and endeavoring to mislead tn
people of the loyal states as to th'
true status of affairs in the South.
We, the undersigned, in order tina
the designs of the Southern DemOc,
rary may be promptly met and de
feated, submit this call for a state
mass convention, which is hereb,
