M OIL A N & SON

Have sold, this season, an immense number of Summer Shoes of all kinds. Now they intend to close out the broken lots and odds and ends at prices which will force the sale. Consequently they have reduced everything in this line to prices away below cost. Their reason for doing this is simply that they prefer selling out clean, even though they do not realize full cost on the last lots, to carrying over goods which might be out of style next Summer and consequently un- salable. This is an opportunity for early buyers, which you should not miss.

BROADBRlM'S n. Y. LETTER

As we cannot have another Washington
Centennial for a hundred Years-and there
will not be many of MS eft TO enjoy the oe-
casion--l can find nothing more interesting
TO write about than the circumstances and
things which, during the hurry and hustle
OF Centennial week and TIC weeks which
preceeIed il, i was Obliged u overlook.
And, right here at the starr, lei ne pause
for moment to pay passing tribute OF
respect and honor 10 William Murray, the
Superintendent OF the police of New York.
Mr.. Murray's name has not figured much in
the reports of the Centennial. Everybody
has heard of Mr. Fish, Mir. Gerry. 81.
Ward McAllister, not to mention President
Harrison, Vice-President Morton, all the
secretaries, judges, generals, colonels, and
lesser dignitaries with " hom we have latel,
been honored and blessed, but few have
heard much of Superintendent Murray
and yet, TO no one man, ave, 10 no one hum
dred men connected with the celebration,
was il indebted for its success as much as
to him. With a force of less than tive
thousand available men-fOr, recollect. the
whole city had 10 be taken care of as well
as the portions where the celebration actu-
ally took place, With between two and
three millions of people TO look out for, he

AN EXCHANGE GIVES AS ITS REASONS
for opposing the suffrage amendment to
the constitution, the following; "Should
the amendment succeed IL will not relieve
responsible persons from the payment OF
occupation or personal taxes. The onl
effect Will be to relieve loafers from paying
their taxes. The poll tax is not abolished
by the proposed change in the law but
voters will be priviledged to vote without
payinga State or county tax as now pro
yided. Another change in the present law
is that which would make thirty days a
legal residencein an election district instead
of sixty days. This opens loop-ho for
illegal voting by colonization. The suffrage
amendment ought to be voted down."

OKLAHOMA

We would call the attention OF
our readers TO the fact that In the
closing hours of the second session
Of the fiftieth congress an item was
inserted in the Idian Appropriation
bill. authorizing the President to
appoint three commissioners to treat
with the Cherokee Indians for the
purchase Of their title in the lands
commonly called Oklahoma. This
| en- lis, appropriated a sum o.
money to pay the Sem'nOles ano
other tribes who had already volunta-
Ill offered their claims in the lands
j he government. 1t further au
thorized the President to issue III
reoclsmation, declaring these lands
! mart Of the public domain, subject
j settlement, the same as other pub,
lie lands, by any who had not vlola'
u the orders of the government o.
the rights of the Indians by tro'pas'
ing upon these lands prior 20 ~
time of opening set apart IN u
Presidents proclamation. Inc sec
tiop Of the Indian appropriation Ol
which provides for the commission
mentioned above, says that tn
The American citizen. [volume] (Topeka, Kan.) 1888-1909, 1889-03-22

money appropriated for the expense
of the negotiations "shall be imme-
dlately available" Without this
clause, the section would not become
operative until June 30th when the
whole bill goes into effect. By the
dispatches sent out by many CORES
pondents, the people all over tue
country are being led into the belief
that the President can at once, by
proclamation, open Oklahoma and
and establish land officies there for
the sale of land. This, we would
remind you, is a great mistake.
The section which provides that the
President may create two land dis
tricts and put the machinery of
the land laws into operation in
Oklahoma, is sepeate and distinct
from that section pertaining to the
Cherokee commission. The money
appropriated to create the land
districts, and equip them for opera
ton will not be available until July
1st, and while the President can,
and doubtless will issue his proclama
ton at a much earlier date, adding
these lands to the public domain,
they will not be subject to entry and
settlement, before July LIST, 1889.
The views herein expressed are not
in accord with the generally prevail
ing impression, but they are strictly
in accord with the law in the ques-
ton. The section which provides
for the Cherokee commission says:
"For this purpose the SUN of $4,000
or 50 much thereof as may be neces
sary, is hereby appropriated to be
Immediately available" The very
next section, which empowers the
| President to create the districts and
put the land laws in effect in Okla
homa, says: "For the purpose o.
carrying out this provision $4,000, OF
SO much thereof as may be necessary
is hereby Appropriated The imme'
date clause is omitted, and withou
it the appropriation only becomes
available after the beginning OF the
next fiscal, whichbegins July 1st.
This will be great disappointment
to many of the hot headed an(
adventurous boomers, but We thlnl
the omission of this emergency
clause will rebound to the benefit Q
, a more deserving, law abiding class
and particularly so to those OF GU
race who have had neithor the mean
, nor the inclination to enable then
to hang around the border and wal
, for something to turn up.

THAT NORTH CAROLINA EXODUS

We learn that there Is a great
exodus going on Of the Negroes from
North Carolina to Mississippi, Lou
isiana, and Arkansas. Knowing as
we do the brutality of southern bull
dozers, the depravity OF the midnight
assassin and ballot box thief, the
heartlessness and cruelty of the south
crn planter and taskmaster, we do
not wonder that the Negroes are up
in arms to leave that seemingly
justice forgotten and Godtorsaken
section of country; but why they
should flee from one den of ravenous
and beastly thieves to seek refuge in
meshes of another, certainly does not
seem clear to us, but looks more like
jumping out of the frying pan into
the frey furnace There certainly
appears to be a great inconsistency
somewhere in this matter. or the
Negroes of that state are being used
for purposes of gain by some heart
less sharpers who expect to make a
few dollars off the ignorance and
suffering Of these people. The Ne
groes of North Carolina are surely
unaquainted with the history of the
treatment of the Negro race in Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Arkanaas, or
they would not have it published to
world that they are fleeing from in
justice and cruelty in North Caro-
lima to find peace and justice in these
states. We feel what great wrong
is being perpetrated upOu these
people in inducing them to break uE
and leave miserable homes for those
which can only be more miserable
in a short time. If the leaders O
this movement would lead these
| people to the north or west, VIZ err
their condition would be at leas
slightly improved, there would b.
at least, an appearance Of good faith
on their part. But under the cir
cumstances, it seams that these PEG
pie are being dragged about from
pillar to post to satisfy the averice an
cupidity of few designing southern
planters, aided by some Of the woul
be leaders Of the race, for a FEY
paltry dollars. We would say t
every people, to always seek to bette
their condition, but where tn
chances for betterment do not az
pear, they should make changes wit
extreme care and caution. There
40 doub! that the brutal conduct Q
the North Carolinians is enough
drive these people from their homes
but are they pettering their cOndltlo
by going into these other sOuther
states? We think not. Then sln'
they are forced to leave their homes
why not go where they can bette
themselves at once? Come ives
friends, come west, and grow U

SOME PLAIN TALK TO OUR
YOUNG MEN.

Men sometimes acquire great
means, and become comparatively
wealthy, from what appeared to Be
nothing. Yet even this cannot Be
accomplished without an expenditure
of time and labor. We have m-de
progress in some few things, but even
they are neglected. The idea that
life means to live, and dress, seems
to be the only question revolving
itself in the minds Of our young
men, and more especially is it so in
the West. Education is great bug.
bear to them. They shun its gloried
paths and choose those of ignorance
and pride. Why is it? Is it because
the schools and colleges are not open
too them, or is it because they have
no desire? There was time when
the former could be looked upon IS
an excuse, but now ii il not so. 1t
is claimed by some that circumstan-
ces shape the destiny Of men; but,
men are the architects Of their own
fortunes. 1.-The building never rises
higher than the ambition OF the archl-
tect." We see this statement verified
day after day. Our cities are full
of Its proofs, and what and where
the enobling part comes, in being .
waiter, car or hotel porter, We cannot
see. True we have to do something,
but why not learn some profession!
Why not become an apprentice to
some trade? Is it because place
cannot be found! Nay, it is because
there are no applicants for the place.
Our industrial schools in the state
have had upon their pages three or
four of our young men, but where
are they: "gone glimmering through
the past "a it we're school boys tale
tho idle of the hour" 1t is not giving
due credit to our industrial schools,
to say we are debarred from all Of
them by prejudice, because II IS not
true, if in these schools our young
men are slaves to prejudice It - part
| ly because they make it 30 them
selves. Genius is recognized in any
school.
What then is to be done; the future
look for the young men under the
present circumstances ID indeed very
gloomy. Our advice il, learn some
profession, do not shrink from manual
labor. Moses was the son Of poor
slave, David u shepherd boy, Virgil,
. baker, Shakespeare, butcher, and
many other examples can be found
