The Farmers Alliance convention at
Ocala Fla. during the past week had
National Colored Alliance side show at
tached to it, and it is somewhat degrad-
ing to even the moral sense of Colored
men to contemplate it. That delegates.
Colored, from sixteen states should allow
themselves to be classed off, and not al
lowed to offer up praise or take sacra.
ment with the white alliance is a strange
condition to say the least. There is noa
encouragement to Colored men to join a
third party movement where they are
ostracized practically from the begin
ming. Now what can the . Colored man
get from the Alliance. BY the time the
whites of a third party, (if it should gain
ascendancy) are politically satisfied
there will another party arise; so the
Colored man and his vote will be simply
the wheels and horse to the wagon
which constantly receives a new bed
and new occupents. In the Republican
party the Negro Is recognized in all con-
ventions and does not act as side show.
In the Democratic party be can be rec
ognized likewise, but this new monster
with southern head, backbone and feet,
considers him not worthy to enter into
Its anatomy. Now the very best thing
the Colored press can do is to simply
put its foot on this monsters, neck and
help choke it to death. If the Negro
feels that he cannot get justice or recos-
milton in either party now existing let
him form party of his own or 20 out of
politics altogether. " s~ ~@-.e.~,.@

leadership of the religious society, and
transferred it over to his house on State
near Van Buren, street. A. I. Hill, theL
a journeyman barber in the shop of Oil
yer Henderson, was his assistant. The
members Of the society were ambitious
for more pretentious place of worship,
and they bought one-half of the white
Baptist church at Washington and La
Sale streets, which they hauled on to a
leased lot on the east side of Wells
street, now Fifth avenue. between Jack
son and Van Buren, streets. In 1847,
William Paul Quinn, then Bishop of the
African Methodist Episcopal Church,
sent Rev. George johnson, missionary,
to Chicago, and on July % of the same
year the society was organized under
the discipline of the A. M. +. church aud
the chapel was named Quinn Chapel.
The Quinn Chapel Society was the Sec
ond Methodist church in Chicago. At
that date there were St. Mary's Cathe-
dral, the First Presbyterian and the
First Baptist Church. The first class
leader of the Quinn Society was Rev. A.
I. Hall, who was also the first Colored
man licensed to preach in Chicago. Dur
ing the administration of Rev. John A.
Warren, during 1854, the society pur-
chased the lot at the southwest corner
of Jackson street and Fourth avenue
upon which the Madnock Building is
now being erected. They moved from
the Wells street lot to this location in
1854, where they bad erected a new
house, which was dedicated and paid
for on the same day.
One of the earliest buildings to sue
culnb to the quick spreading flames in
the fire ofl871, was the frame house of
worship owned bv Quinn Chapel. I'm
der the leadership of Elder William G.
Trevan the members mortgaged the old
lot for $1,000 and purchased the old
Mission Building on Fourth avenue, be-
tween Taylor and Twelfth streets.
They were again doomed to be disturbed
by fire. On July Is, 1874, the" building
was reduced to ashes, and the Colored
Methodists were again without house
of worship. They held prayer meetings
for time at Union Hall, corner of Clark
and Monroe streets, and then moved
into an old store Oh Third avenue, south
of Van Buren, street. Having mortgaged
the Fourth avenue and Jackson street
lot, they were compelled to sell it, and
with the procee Is they purchased lot
on Fourth avenue; near Van Buren,
street. The members of the society
we're undaunted by the catastrophies of
1871 and 1884. They worked assiduously
for new chapel, and in 1876 the corner
etone of the present brick building on
Fourth avenue was laid. This was dur
ing the administration of the eighteenth
pastor, Rev. E. C.. Joiner. From that
time until the present the people have
worshiped in this chapel. 49,
When Rev. ]. T. Jenifer was appointed
pastor of Quinn Chapel in 1889, the slum-
bering ambitions of his Practitioners
were awakened to the fact that better
accommodations we're needed for their
religious worship. The changes on
Fourth avenue, caused by business and
other interests, haye been ouch ss to
render the building, as we'll as it's loca.

worship. Under the guidance of Pastor

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH,
In 1874 there lived in small hut in
the alley near State street between Lake
and Randolph streets, plain but de-
. vout Colored man named John Day. A
few Colored people used to congregate
in the hut to hold prayer meetings.
Soon the hut became too small. and
tEey removed to the house Of Mrs. Maria
Parker, who lived near Days humble
abode. Month after month passed and
the congregation increased in numbers
until in 1916 it was found necessary to
move to the school house on Madison,
near State street. In l846 Madison Pat.
