THINGS WHICH ATTRACT
MEN.

What attracts a man Is one thing;
what will hold him, and command
his respect, is quite another, says
Edward w. Box in the Ladies
Home Journal.
A wOman'S smile, for example
attracts a man; but an even TEN
per retains him.
A pleasant manner attracts a
man; brightness of brain holds
him.
A knowledge Of how, when and
where to be little stately, attracts
a man; an appreciation of the folly
frivolity, wins his respect.
A respect for the religious belief
Of every human being, attracts a
man; irreverence in woman is to
him abominable.
A consideration for his comfort
attracts man, a continuation of
this makes him your most hum BILE
slave.
A chat in which there Is no NAL
ice, attracts man; neither scan
dal nor evil speaking make a wo.
man seem sweet and lovely to him.

Mr.. Smith has absolute control.
He has held many honorable and
lucrative public Offices among
which was the position of Deputy
Oil Inspector of the State of Ohio.
The position paid between $40 and
$50 a month. 1t seems the irony
of fate that Mr.. Smith should sue
ceed the Hon. Fred. Douglass
whose private letter was offered to
the Central Committee of the state
of Ohio, for $500. Mr.. Smith de-
serves much recognition. as a very

song called "bright Eyes," which

for him.

| DOUBLE PRESENTATION

At the Third Baptist church,
franklin st., n. W., on Thursday
evening Sept. 18th. at the close OF
the covenant meeting, Rev. A. 5.
Thomas pastor of the Enon Baptist
church, s. E., in behalf Of a club OF
ladies and gentlemen, with very
interesting and encouraging words,
presented to the church a beauti
full and magnificent silver plated
communion service, and two tue
linen table cloths also napkins to
be used with the set. This club
was organized with Mrs. Martha
Montgomery as president; Mrs.
Josephine Harris, treasurer; Mr,
Henry ThOrtOn, Secretary and IS
other brothers and sisters and
friends. The pastor Rev. j. H. Lee
responded in behalf of the church.
Immediately after this another
club consisting entirely of ladies',
appeared with Mrs. Della Lewis as
president, Mrs. ID. Peyton, vice
president, Mrs. L. Lewis, Miss F.
E. Ware, Secretary and Is other
sisters of the church, with very
handsome and substantial Bible
for the pulpit, Rev. ]. l. Loving of
the Mt. Zion Bapt. church, with
appropriate remarks in behalf of
the ladies presented the Bible to
the church which was received by
The pastor with cordial thanks for
the church. At another meeting
more largely attended by the mem
bers a vote of thanks was rendered
by the church to the clubs and 10
all friends who may have in any
way aided them in these grand and
noble acts. The Third Baptist
church is making rapid progress,
and 1t has some noble hearted,
faithful and earnest workers in
its midst, who don't intend to
leave a stone unturned in the Mas
tiers cause. The church is coming
to the front.

THE NEGRO TRAITOR.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Detroit PlaindeaIer, referring tc
the man who sold his soul to the
devil and his race to the Demo
cratic party to secure seat in the
Democratic socalled constitutional
convention of Mississippi says:
Montgomery has paid the price
OF bis admission 10 the cOnstitu-
ti'nal convention of that state by
stuItifying himself aud selling his
brethren. The sycophanish twad-
die of which he Was guilty must
have been written and drummed
into him by such men as Judge
CALHOUN of bis state. We can
hardly conceive of an Afro-Amer
ican who knows enough to con-
ceive such a speech and who is
knave enough to deliver it at
such cost. At any rate be has
performed a thsnkless job. No
bourbon will respect him more
for Ills craven cringing and his
OVID people will spurn and despise
him as the beast of traitors The
bourbon dispatches said that be
was the equal of Bruce or Lynch
which is true in about the same
proportion as Benedict Arnold
and JEFF Davis were to Washing
ton and Lincoln.

LANGSTON AND MILLER

The action of the House Oi
Representatives in seating the con
ttstants, Messrs. Langston and
Miller, though late, is highly com
mendable. Considering the cir
cumstances under which these
contestants were made and the
overwhelming testimony submit
ted in these cases 10 favor of the
contestants, one is inclined to ask
why so much delay has been re-
sorted TO. Their admission to
seats now will nevertheless have a
salutory effect upon the masses OF
the Republican party. 1t empba-
sizes the fact that the Republican
party has not drifted from its
moorlngs; that it adhers to lis old
landmarks and that it is stlll the
party of justice and freedom. 1t
Is complete answer to the So
called independsut and kickers
who were attempting to justify
their own apostasy by pointing to
tardiness of The House of Repre-
sentauves in passing upon these
cases. With CheathAm already in
his seat the addition of Lsngston
and Miller will greatli strengthen
our cau-e.
The country would have rtjoic~
ed hal the parry gone a step fur
ther and seated Hill of Miss. Also
the testimony in whose Case
showed that be was fairly elected
and only deprived OF his certifca-
tion of election by gross frauds.
We endorse he remark OF the
late rh. ddeus Stevens made in a
memorable contested election case
some years ago. elf you believe
your man las a moral right TO the
8, at give it 10 him." The Demo-
cratic party cares little for the
morals OF a Cause; the question with
them is lis be our man.

has at last concluded to throw up
the sponge and fee from the at.
tacks of the BEE like he fed
from Alabama. 1t is not our
purpose to let this coward go so
easily. He must stand up Ike a

wno attack the BGR must not run
away and it is not our intention
TO allow this scoundrel and black
leg j. G. Dukes to escape our
weekly compliments. There are
several more just such Negroes
as Dukes in Alabama who are
more detrimental to the colored
people than 60 winchester rifles.

CONGRESSMAN CHEATHAM

While we haven't agreed with
Congressman Cheathsm in many
things that we have personal rea-
sons for criticising him. we can
not help from commencing him
for his many kind acts towards
his constituents and his race. He
has been ever ready; 80 far IS we
know. to extend a helping hand
to those in need of assistance
While there may be many things
10 crlticise him for, there are
many things for which he should
be commended.

A PROPHETIC SPEECH.

''Let the carpet-bagger, expelled finally
from every state in the American union
with the brand of disgrace stamped upon
his brow, lift up his head once more and
turn his face toward the setting sun. Utah
beckons him to new field of pillage and
fresh pastures of pilfering. Let him pack
his grip-sack and start The Mormons
have no friends and no one will come for
ward to defend or protect their rights. A
returning board, from whose decisions
there is no appeal, sent out from the Amer
can Congress baptized with the spirit OF
persecution and intolerance, will enter
Utah to trample beneath their feet the
rights of the people of that Far off and i'll
fated land. Mr.. Speaker, would not place
a dog under the dominion of set of carpet
baggers REINFORCED by a returning board
unless meant to have him robbed of his
bone. A more grinding tyranny, more
absolute despotism was never established
over any people. "-Hon. John F. House, o.

haps still harder to maintain, but believe
that billiard balls, saloons and houses Of
ill-fame are more powerful reforming agen-
cies here in Utah than churches and
schools, or even the Tribune" These noble
sentiments of reform" were approved
editorially by the Tribune. Among other
things which the editor wrote at the
time of approval was the following
Freedom is the first requisite of man
hood, and if it can Be won without excuses
somuch the better. If it can't never mind
the excuses, win the freedom"
Now that the Tribune has arrived at the
distinguished position of basely trying to
fasten the crime of murder on a commun-
ity, we have no doubt that the gentleman
engaged in the reformation of the
young Mormons will rise and make to that
sheet and it's editors an humble apology
and will accord to that organ the credit
for leading the house of ''ill-fame' and
the saloons" in the march of reform. "
