Keep Out of Debt.

We occasionally hear it said of some
millionaire, that he is independently"
rich. But if he is engaged In business,
or heavily interested iu railroad. mining
or banking stocks. he may be rich, but
by no means Independently" 80, for q
continuance of his prosperity depends
very much on the good will and patron
age of the public. The man who is
really independent" is the farmer who
is out of debt, with something ahead.
Some one is always ready to give him
the mafket price for all he has to sell,
no matter whether he is popular and
agreeable or not. While the merchant
must trust people for goods or lose trade
the farmer may demand, and receive,
the hard cash for every bushel of grain
and every animal he sells. Many farm
ers in the Northwest are in that happy
condition and we would offer them only
two pieces of advice, which if followed
viii enable them always to be happy
and independent. One is: keep out
of debt" The other is: always travel
by The Burlington. The best line,
the fastest line. the most comfortable
.line-always takes care Of you. Apply
to any agent of 1.-THE Burlington" to
your nesrest railroad agent, or to w. J.
g. Kenyon, Gen. Pass. Agent, g. b. &
N. R. r., ST. Paul, Mimi, and you need
take no further trouble about journey.

He Made an. Admirable Governor for the
Two Years and Will be Easily Re-
elected on Election Day Next
a Tuesday-Vote for Him.

The readers Of the APPEAL are to well
acquainted with William r. Merriam to
need any introduction at this time. He
has taken prominent part in every en-
terprise which has been started in the
city of St. Paul and is known to all both
great and small. During his present term
as Governor he has become personally
known to thousands who knew him only
by reputation before, who have met him
in his official capacity, or, who have met
him during his travels all over the state.
His administration has been fair honest
one and will compare favorably with that
of any of his illustrious predecessors.
He represents the element of this COM
monwealth which has made the state of
Minnesota stand out so prominently
among the galaxy of states. He is pre-
eminently fitted for standard bearer in
the contest next Tuesday and will lead
the Republican most to victory. -.

wrested the prize from his Democratic
opponent. He had said before election
that if he was elected he would give a
Colored man position in his office. and
shortly after taking possession he re-
deemed his promise and kept his ap-
pointee employed during the entire
term ofhis Objective years. He con-
Quoted the affairs of his office with such
ability and gave such general satisfaction
to the general public and especially to
his party that he was again rendered
the nomination and was reelected. He
still kept his Colored clerk employed
until he-the Colored electromagnetic
fully strayed away from the Republican
fold and dallied with the Philistine
Delilahs. Then, only at the behests of
the leaders of his party did Mr.. Bell dis
charge his Colored clerk. He however
very shortly filed his place with another
able young Afro-American who is still
in his employ. .......
Mr.. Bell for the third time is the
choice of his party for the important
Office which he has conducted fairly and
we'll during two terms and asks your
suffrage. If there is only one man on
the entire Republican ticket who de-
serves the votes of the Afro-Amer1cans
of Ramsey County, that man is Mr..
Bell. He is the first and only one of the
officials of the County who had the
spirit Of fairness and Justice suffi GENTLY
strong in his heart to cause him to ap.
point Colored man to clerkship.
This should of itself secure the vote Of
| every Afro American in the County.

Detroit, Mich, Oct 27.-About week
ago there came to Detroit q Colored girl,
whose appearance indicated that she
was south sea islander. She was
scarcely able to speak, knowing as little
of the language as 3-year old child.
From what she could tell it was under
stood that she had been kept in slavery
on large farm q few miles from New
York, and bad been subjected to an
awful conrse oftreatm ent, being whipped
for every trivial ofense. She finally
managed to escape, and with large
number Of pennies boarded up during
her slavery came to Detroit. She showed
marks Of abuse, even her tongue being
striped and swollen. Friday night,
while out looking for work, the girl fell
on the street in fit. She was taken to
the house of the people who had cared
for her since her arrival here, where q
physician discovered that her body is
mass Of sores and bruises and that the
girl may die. She continually cries out
