of confidence in 1.-THE manu-
facturers of DR.. Sage's Ca
tarrh Remedy. It's a faith
that means business, too-it's
backed up by money. This
is what they offer: $500 re-
ward for a case of Catarrh
which they cannot cure. They
mean it. They're willing to
take the risk they know their
medicine. By its mild, sooth-
ing, cleansing and healing
properties. it produces per-
feet and permanent cures of
the worst cases of chronic Ca
tarrh in the Head. It's doing
it every day, where everything
else has failed. No matter
how bad your case, or of how
long standing, you can be-
cured. You're sure of that
or of $500. You can't have
both, but you'll have one or
the other.

ENTERED At P0sTOFFICE As SECOND. CLASS HATTIE
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1890.

At last, just at the flag end of the ses-
sion, the House of Representatives has
succeeded in getting quorum and has
seated Langston and Miller. This is a
piece of very tardy justice and the
Democrats are as much entitled to credit
for it's being brought about as the Re-
publicans, as the latter had sufficient
number to do the right thing early in
the session had they been disposed to
do so. Piqued by the action of the
Democrats they determined to get re-
venge by seating the two Colored men,
bers who have been knocking, at the
doors of Congress for two years, and who
had as much right to seats in that body
as those who finally, grudgingly accorded
them admission. But for the pluck and
persistence of Hon. John M. Langston,
he would have long ago been laid on the
shelf. But he knew biz rights and dared
to maintain them. Afro-Americans
everywhere should emulate the example
set by brave, brainy Langston, bearing
in mind there is ever survival of the
fittest. We congratulate Langston on
his hard fought and well-earned victory.
Miller's case was different from Langs-
toms and he was kept out of bis seat
simply because he was Colored man.
The fact of Langston's being Colored
man did not work 80 much against him
as the fact that Malone was. opposed to
him ;and, that he dared to be man enough
to stand up for the rights of man.
Brave, manly Colored men are not par
ticularly admired by their white. broth
ers. But Langston won, thank God and
Langston! ..- ... g..

Rev. Brown tells very amusing story
OF how he and Rev. Henderson were
compelled to cross the Missouri river
with the ice breaking around them, in
order to keep an engagement to preach.
BY advice he entered the Iowa Confer.
ence, ofwhich he has been Recording
Secretary for the past two years, also a
trustee to Wilberforce University. His
theological training was received at the
Iowa Wesleyan University, at the same
time pastoring church. He has never
been known to leave church with a
bonded debt on it, and when older men
could not raise money in a city, Rev.
Brown would be sent there and by some
plan from his own young brain raise
thousands.
He is the youngest member of the
Iowa Conference, and his father is the
only Bishop on the bench having son
a regular ordained minister. Like his
father he leans towards the High Church
idea. He is calm deliberate speaker,
has none of the minstrel preachers
ways, but is modest and gentleman]y
both in and out Of the pulpit. He is
counted rs one of the ministers of this
day. '~@
AS the pastor of st. James church we
wish him great success and give him a
hearty welcome among us. We should
be proud of such ministers as we have
at our Colored churches Of St. Paul.
Bishop Brown should leel proud that he
is able to give to the world such son
whom we trust may follow in the foot
steps of his venerable father, this we
believe he viii. do. for be is "a chip of
