A Southern Democratic exchange con-
tains the following:
s'Lula, Miss, Aug. 23.-Among the
ignorant class of Colored people in this
neighborhood there exists great desire
to migrate to Oklahoma. Yesterday
about 300 Negroes met at this place to
consider the plan of emigrating in q
body to that country. Considerable ex.
element was manifested upon the adj
vice of G. w. Gillian (Colored) !, Tax
Assessor, and B. B. Linden (Colored),
Justice of the Peace, their recognized
leaders. Ham Henton, Chas. Roach and
Ed. Weatherby: were appointed to re-
port the prospect Of that country. The
Committee will start about September,
list"
Now, we are of the opinion that those
Colored people showed BY their actions
that they we're far from icing ignorant.
They went at the business as the Pill

tic success and will be big winner. At

IT seems quite natural that the threads OF
conversation should sometimes produce q
long warn.
Charles Dickens.

A mind of the caliber Of that of Charles
Dickens, the matchless novelist, could COM
prehend fully the magnifcence of this
country. and the enterprise of it's people.
A brother to humanity, a. conscientious
student of human nature, and progressive
writer, he was quick to see what others of
his countrymen had not, that the possibili-
ties of this country were enormous, illim-
liable. What impressed him most, of prac-
teal features, were the facilities for travel
and the results produced by our democratic
railway systems: Particularly did he note
how women could travel alone hundreds of
miles and be assured of courtesy and free
dom from insult or annoyance: It is re.
GREETED however, that the great novelist
never saw the great Northwest the region
bordering the great lakes. This productive
territory is traversed by the Saint Paul &
Duluth-The Duluth Short Line-which is
the fayorite route to and from Duluth,
West Superior, st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Saltwater, being the scenic route, the tour
lists route, the business mans route, and
the sportsman's route. Write for circulars

James Johnson.

The subject of this sketch Mr.. James
Johnson, vlolinist, pianist and compose,
was born in Louisville, KY, May, 1857
The only child of Henry and Elizabeth
Johnson. Coming to Chicago in 1863
he entered the old Jones school and
afterward attended Haven school of this
city. While in the public school his
musical talent at once natural and co.
pious began to manifest itself.
At 8 years of age young johnson be.
gan to perform in public and could dis
tinguish the pitch and temper of any
piece he heard played.
Finishing the Grammar school course,
he returned to Louisville to complete
classical and scientific studies under the
veteran of instructors Prof. Gibson.
Returning again to Chicago, Mr.. John.
sons musical education was begun by
instructions from Miss Nellie Banks.
In 1884 be entered the Chi cago Must.
cal College and completed a thorough
course. Prof.. Joseph Vilim in recon-
mending him for honors said, Il regard
MIR. johnson one of my best and most
reliable pupils"
In musical history and theory Mr..
johnson ranks among the best in the
city. He wears a beautiful medal OF
merit awarded by the Chicago Musical
College, and holds a certificate of grad
uation from the American Conservatory
of Music.
On the concert stage there ia a mag
netic charm about Mr.. Johnson's per-
sonal appearance and performances
which not only attracts attention., but
holds the audience while he draws sim
gularly beautiful and sweet tones from
his violin.
Mr.. johnson is a protege of Emil
Liebling, the eminent piano Wrtuoso,
who pronounces him the most talented
young man of his race. He is favorite
in the college soiree, and a we'll known
and esteemed performer on the public
concert stage.
Mr.. johnson is now concerning and
giving piano and violin lessons. He
will make a tour of the Northwestern
towns and cities this winter. From the
talent of his company and his own merit
it is reasonable to suppose he will meet
with general favor and success from cul-
tured audiences. -...

ENTERED ATP0STOFFICE AS SECOND. GLASS MATTER
SATURDAY, AUGUST 80, 1890.
FREE TRADE JUGGLERY.

In no direction does the ingenuity of
the free-trade attorney become more evil
dent than when he is juggling with per-
scentages and ad valore N, equivalents in
our tariff laws. AS so much of his stock
in trade consists of statements "that
lead to bewilder and dazzle to blind ;"
he revels in the realm of equivalent per-
centages, aiming thereby to confuse the
iDconsiderate voter and leave with him
an impression at variance with his i'm
pulse to do that which is for the best in
terests of himself and others.
As prices 60 down under competition
between home producers, as has always
resulted from adequate protection of
any industry, and it seems no longer
possible to frighten voters with the
threat of increased expenses of living,
the attorneys for free trade begin to ring
the changes on the resulting enchant.
ment of tariff equivalents. Hence the
falsehood that tariffs are now higher
than at the close of the war. This free
trade bubble, that is foated before the
eyes of voters whenever opportunity
offers, can be readily exploded by the
citation of few solid facts.
When steel rails were selling at $50
per ton the existing tariff of $l7 was the
equivalent of thirty -four per cent, which
is less than what the trainers of the once
famous "Mills Bill" recognized as fair
protection for the average of domestic
manufactures. But when the COMPETE
ton between producers forced the prices
of rails down to 1928 per ton tie same
tariff Of $l7 became the equivalent of
over sixty per cent, and the effort was
at once made to turn the attention of
voters from the low prices at which rails
were selling to the contemplation of ex-
cessive tariff percentages. And this
when foreign rails could not have been
imported, except at loss, if the tariff
had been reduced by half.
And so on through entire category of
manufactures. The prices of every pro-
tected product have been lowered; and
to conceal this fact, which is at variance
with the theory of free trade and the
predictions of all it's prophets, those who
find it to their interest to insist that for
eigners shall be permitted to sell in
American markets on terms that are
accorded to American citizens, attempt
with clouds of figures to conceal the
chief facts at issue, to the end that vo-
ters may be led to believe lie.

preacher. Two things are of the frs,
Importance in order to hope for success
The first is to make selection of ,
preacher who is possessed of qualitiel
essential to popularity. Having selected
a candidate the second step is to worh
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time sti1
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerou,
as delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or bel
candidate might have been elected by
a slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winner,
and losers. Hence the importance Of
early and persistent activity in securiu,
ballots. The plan of determining whs
the most popular minister is, is given il
order that all may thoroughly under
stand.
