The Upper Congo Colony Scheme

BRUSSELS, Jan. 13.-The proposition to
settle in the upper Congo country colony

THE PUBLIC PRINTERS RE-
PORT,

The report of Public Printer
Palmer has been made to the Sen
ate, which shows the unhealthy
condition of the present structure
in which thousands of souls are
mpelled to remain. We hope
that Congress will take into i'm
mediate consideration the recon-
mendatioHs of Mr.. Polmer. 1t lF
importan; that a new building be
erected before it is too late. The
building may tumble down any
moment, who can tell, although 1t
has been brsced up.
Another important suggestion
is made by Mr. Palmer, and thai
j., 10 allow him to exchange old
material for new, which would be
q saving 10 the Government. The
BEE of thls week contains the cut
ard a synopsis of bis report, to
which is called .he attention OF
Coz gress.

perience the provisions necessary
in the bill to effect the purposes in
tended, and | will be glad to have
you formulate such a bill as you
think sufficient to bring it before
the proper committees OF Congress,
or transmit it to me with your
recommendation, that L might take
action in regard thereto.
You, of course, need not to be
admOniShed that the body of the
census should not in any wise be
haz8rded by endeavoring to attach
to the work so many additional
matters as would in any way tend
to defeat it; but the Investigations
now under consideration l deem
wonld not be of that character, and
that their Importance warrants the
recommendation herein made.

INGALLS, SPEECH.

The Kansas Senator has spoken
The friends of the negro as well a.
the negro himself are disappointed
All had hoped that upon law and
facts, fortified by considerations OF
humanity aud rstice, the PROPOSE
tiOns of national Legislation and the
arguments in justification thereof
made by Senators Morgan and But
Ter especially, would have been
answered iO great hiStOrial effort
BY the states man, representing the
Commonwealth made memorable
by the heroic deeds of Brown and
hls cOmpatriots in defense of free
dom and equal rights. The negro
still needs defense. Who shall ad-
vance and make it for him? The
orical has spoken in Ilgalls. His
failure is signal. The negro may
now speak tor himself. He will
vindicate his own cause. He will
testify the figures of the census of
1880. He will demonstrate the fact
th0b uiS udAlNC ldCC dOllltNg anu
not the Z" reinforcement by infusion
of white blOOd,n as the Senator has
alleged, makes him an American
citiEen of power, influence and
prominence. He will demonstrate
that whatever may be the legal
status of the Indian or MOngOlian,
the cOloIe Ell American is the legal
equal, not in surmiSe; not in hope !;
not IN promise of vavering, uncer.
tain political partislanship, but in
the law as fixed by the fathers and
accepted Ia the utterancaS of tue
great States men and jurists of our
country, who have settled his con-
ditiOn in hlS freedom and emanci.
patton ia a record which cannot be
blOtted out, and in which ne finds
ample defense of all he claims.
The cOlOred American shall live
in tbis country, the political equal
of the Caucasian race. No prejl-.
dice, no social or political antago.
nism should justify and work, bis
departure aud disappearance from
this country. Aud the future may

ing of the Scripture by Rev. Rob-
ert johnson, of the Metropolitan
Baptist Church. The doctor wore
the usual conventional black, and
in a solemn, clear and distinct
tone, read several passages from
Revelations.
Rev. Geo. W. Lee, of the Fifth
Baptist Church, delivered pray
er that W eloquent, Logical and
timely. The Invocation by this
distinguished divine was the occa.
sion of favorable comment. Thp
eulogist Of the evening, Rev. w
II Scott, pastor in charge, was in
troduced. In a very dignifeL
manner the Rev. Scott advanced
to the front, dressed in a full black
suit with a white neck-!ie, and
spoke of the life and usefulness OF
the man whose place he is now
filing with credit to himself and
the church. Rev. Scott said: We
have met here this evening to do
honor to the memory of one whom
this community has known for
more than a quarter of century.
A faithful pastor; a plOus man ;
true friend; a loving and aft cticn-
a'e husband, and an indulgent
uncle. We believe that in this
universe Of God nothing happens
by chance God directs all things
from the flight of a comet to The fall
Of a sparrow. Aye! the smallest
aaimolicule to the grea LeVithia1
which plays in the mighty deep.
All are governed by the Omnlpo-
tant band of God. When the
cup of this wicked na-
ton was full to the brim
Go allowed the North aud South
to 60 frenzy into the most bloody
war that the civilized world h s
witnessed. God remembered the
prayers aud groans Of His people.
Amid the lurld glare OF war,
amid the mounting of cannons,
amid the rattling of musketty,
mid the charge of bayonet, aud
a mid the Stroke OF the sabre, a few
20 Ignoran d~sparlng people
came from fredericksburg to this
CITY where they Innged to worship
God unitedly. Who would have
thought that tn 'se poor dsspised
people who came here Guild do
anything? Without shelter, only
he blue sky gave them covering.
But al great things had small be-
ginnlngs.
The Pilgrim Father who came
from Leyden, few in number,
but all the good in this Republic
came from them. God has had
great men but all begun as poor
weak persJns.

| know that there are a number OF

it not be bad policy for Republi.
can administration to take it
away from the colored people and
reduce the salary of the Office !? Il
is not necessary for tie salary to

paid, In fact, some Of them don't
receive living wages. If the copy

would not be necessary to make
the office a salaried one. As a

1t Is so st ange that men who re-
celve large salaries with the i'm

be so anxious to reduce other

has a hard road TO travel, and

was carried by one majority, the vote
standing 22 for bonding and q against.
Steps will at once be taken to negotiate
the bonds and erect the building in
time for grading the school at the com
mencement of the fall term, which will
give us the best school privileges in
the county at an outlay that will hardly
be felt by the resident tax payers, as
the greater portion of the taxes are and
will continue to be paid by non resi-

Shooting ARRAY.

About Q o'clock Thursday evening
Ed. b. Mead called at H. O'Connor S
residence i'm Garner township and
demanded payment for putting up a
small quantity of hay, when Mr. O'Con-
nor asked for an account of a former
business transaction, stating that they
would figure up and If he was owing
Mead would pay the difference. This
Mead objected to, claiming that he
wanted pay for the hay and would set
tie the other matter ut some future
time, Notwithstanding he had agreed
To put up the hay in settlement of the
account He then went away and
brought Jas H. Miller, a neighbor to
witness the settlement, and on refusal
by Mr. o. to pay him in full opened
fire with p little 32 calibre revolver
shooting ut him three times, one sho I
taking effect in TIE left arm making a
very painful but not dangerous wound.
The other two shots did not penetrate
the skin. By this time Mr. OConnor
had succeeded in closing the door OF
his house, and after lingering around
for time swearing he left and has not
since been heard of
Yesterday morning Il warrant was
sworn out and placed in Sheriff Fausts S
hands, who is now out searching for
the culprit.
Mead is noted for quarreling with
his neiohbors. He was at one time
arrested for drawing revolver upon
Mr.. Pilgrim and Chas. Alden and then
only escaped because the prosecuting
witness failed to appear in time tor
trial. He is single man, tall, between
30 and b years of age, quite slender
and is apparently very suspicious.

SUMMIT ITEMS.

Wheat is mostly secured. except some
patches that were late sown and yet un-
ripe. From the reports of travelling men,
we i'm this section, have the best crop of
wheat in this portion of South Dakota.
Listed corn is failure in this township,
but corn that was planted in rows and
properly cultivated will make fair crop.
Don't forget the Harvest Picnic, Aug.
49, ut the Center School House. Every
body is invited; come out and have a
good time.
During the week ending August End
Chas. Mcclure, with the assistance of
Messrs. G. H. and G. l.. Howard e. Lew
is and III. r. wilkins, and Clarence

stack 1856 acres of wheat. The best day S
work was 30 acres; the best half day III
acres. Charlie runs 10 foot header with

QUERY.
would like to inquire through the
WATcHMAN whether any farmer has ever
o'h' W 'stiNi ''S
through the Alliance. Is il fraud and a
delusion? Was it BORN and BRED that a
few leaders might live at their ease on fat
salaries. or was ii organized TO bring TO
life the third party? One of the funda-
mental principles of the Alliance is to ed.
ucate the the farmer. and in order to as
sist in said education they send paid up
members) the Dakota Ruralist" But
does it teach us anything about farming
Does il advance any new theories, or give
us any news whereby we may be benetitedy
Not bit of it, but on the contrary it is
one of the rankest political organs it was
ever my lot TO read. "Ruralist' indeed
its name is II MIsNoMER.
Is this benefit The Alliance Hail As
sociation charged me 81 as fees and 81
cents per acre to insure my wheat and

bors insured for 81 fees and 20 cents per
acre. in stock company. viii some per
