Three cheers for Speaker Reed
and our republican congressman
who again demonstrated to the
country last Tuesday that they
mean to carry out the fundamental
principles of the republican party,
ssequal rights to all men," In
seating the Hon. !. M. Langston
OF Virginia and the Hon. Miller
from South Carolina they have not
only done justice to their respect
i've constituencies, but they gave to
5000. 900 Afro-Ameriean citizens
the men Of all others that they
wished to represent them IN the
national Legislature. Our only re.
greet is that the Hon. j. NJ. Langs-
ton was not a member OF the House
during the pending OF the Federal
Election Bill. but as we had other
staunch friends who were looking
out for our interest, our regret is
not sore one, and the Afro Amer
leans Of Minnesota feel proud when
they know that the Minnesota del
egation was solid for the seating Of
our men.

A Poor Italians Throat Cut from Ear

New YORK, Sept. 5.-Domlnica Ga
lutchi, poor Italian, is the last victim
of the vengeance of the hated Matia.
The society issued decree that Ga
lutchi should die, and named Wednes-
day night tor putting period to bis
earthly career. Unmindful OF his I'M
pending doom, Galutchi moved around
among the Italians IN Mulberry bend"
as free and easy as usual.
Galutchi spent part OF Tuesday night
in Antonio Chiladano's restaurant, IN
the basement OF No. 81 Mulberry-st.,
plaving cards with friends. A stranger
came into the room and asked whether
Galutchi was present.
yes" said Galutchl, 81 am the
man."
Gan right" said the stranger, "there
is man outside waiting for you" Ca
lutchl immediately passed INTO the
street. There his companion dlsap-
peared. Galutchi heard some one ap-
proath from behind and he turned
quickly and recognized Chlladano as he
stood with his stlletto poised over his
head. Then the knife was plunged
into hls neck and he fell to the ground.
The moment the murderOus assault was
committed Chiladano rushed 10 hisroom
over tue restaurant and tun5led into
bed.
Galutchi was taken to the hospital.
HIS throat was cut almost from ear to
ear, but the jugglar vein was not sew
cred Policemen found ChlladanO lying
on the bed apparently drunk. Two OF
