Text of an Address to Be Pre-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The commit
tee appointed by the National Afro
American league convention, recently
held in Chicago. to present to the exec
utive and congress petition for the
enactment of legislation to secure to the
colored people their rights under the
constitution, arrived here to-day and
will present the following address to
President Harrison tomorrow morning:
endorsing. as we do. the sentiments as
expressed in your message to congress
regarding the rights of Afro
Americans, which form such
large and potent element of
the political party with which you are
identified, we have the honor to inform
you that we have been appointed by the
executive committee of the National
Afro-American league, under inStruc-
tions of the national convention, held
in the city of Chicago OH the 18th. 10TH
and 18th inst, to petition the executive
and congress for the enactment OF such
laws, and the enforcement of those al
ready enacted, as will secure to us our
rights as citizens guaranteed under the
national constitution and its amend
mentS. The recent outrageS in the
South, and those committed against us
i'm the discharge of our rights in the
selection of our national representatives
at each succeeding election, are becom-
ing more
APPALLING AND ATROCIOUS.
We are only citizens in name. Our
will at the ballot box is completely
thwarted, and the result is an unjust
representation given to our enemies to
the great detriment of ourselves and the
entire nation. 1t cannot be denied that
this is all unjust and destructive of the
aims intended by the supreme law of
the land. The nation having given to
us our freedom, as well as our civil and
political rights, we can but look to it as
law-abiding citizens for the protection
of that freedom and those rights by the
enforcement of Republican form of
government in each state claiming to
be sovereign. yet denying the right of
suffrage, which must always be above
that of state sovereignty. In most
of the Southern states we are de-
MED the rights guaranteed to US in
the selection Of president and vice
president and national representatives.
We have no representation in the jury
box in but few counties of any of these
states, nor have we fair trial by the
courts of those states where lynch law
and mob violence prevail. We would
therefore, respectfully, ask the presi-
dent OF the United States to do all in

ALLEN is ALL RIGHT.
His Care of the Abandoned Dog
Kennels Was Quite ProDer,

Kennels Was Quite Proper.
In regard to the latest phase of the
dog-kennel story, Charles Steele, who
is familiar with the case, writes the
GLOBE that the publication of Tuesday
morning does an injustice to Mr.. Allen.
He says:
Upon learning of the terrible state of
affairs at the kennel, Mr.. j. I'll. Bur-
well Il think president or secretary of
the kennel club previous to the lease to
this man Fay wished E. Stone to see
MIR. Allen, or any good man, and get
him to take charge of the dogs and see
that they were properly cared for. Mr..
Allen went over and procured some fif-
teen, took them home and provided
them with good nourishing food. also a
cheap collar for such as had none, for
all of which he naturally expected to get
a fair compensation. Four dogs have
been.taken away, three he was paid for,
the others not. The balance of the dogs
he has still. but has been paid nothing
as yet for his care and attention. Mr..
Allen has three dogs belonging to N.Y.
self in his charge, and cares well for
them. l have known Mr.. Allen quite a
while; found him very honorable
man, very reasonable in his charges /;
and, above all, good and kind to the
animals in his charge. Enough has
been said in regard to this most horrible
affair. but in justice to Mr.. Allen. who
l know will take advantage of no one, L
deem it my duty as friend of his to
ask you to please publish the above.

The Duiuth's General Freight
Agent Promoted TO Manager.
The vacancy in the position of gen.
eral manager of the st. Paul g. Duluth
road was filled yesterday. by the ap-
pointment of Alexander B. Plough,
lately general passenger and freight
agent. President Hayes had already
thought of Mr.. Plough as the most avail
able man and was confirmed in this
belief when prominent business men of
the city urged the appointment. The
news gives general satisfaction, for,
though comparative stranger, Man
ager Plough has made many personal as
well as business friends. and is gener-
ally regarded as competent railroad
man. He began the business at the bot
tom, as a baggageman, and worked his
way steadily to the top. As an agent
of the Central Iowa he attracted the at
tentiOn of the late Col. Dudley. who
raised him by gradual stages to the posi-
ton of general freight agent, and then
brought him with him to ST. Paul. about
sixteen months ago. Manager Plough
was yesterday overwhelmed with con-
CALCULATIONS, which he received mod
eStly. He was evidently very much
surprised and gratified at his promotion.

Local Immigration Agents Show
Up a MINNEAPOLIS PAPER,

Messrs. Bothman and Lohrbauer
wish to deny the allegations of a Min
neapolis paper that they "tried to
charge S26 piece for four tickets to
New York" The facts of the case are
stated to be:
1.-The business transaction which
Bothman & Lohrbauer had with the
German did not alone involve a number
of tickets to New York but a through
passage from Minneapolis to Bremen
for six persons. being four adults and
two children of eight and eleven years.
Bothman & Lohrbauer had already
contracted with this party in Oc-
tober last year for their through
tickets, and two instailments were
paid. 1t remained balance to be paid
of 1904, which, the agreement was.
should be paid when the railroad tick
cts were to be delivered. The S104 did
not constitute the railroad fare; it was
simply the balance of the amount
agreed upon for the through tickets to
Bremen. The man, instead of living
up to his agreement, bought four tick
cts for his family to travel to New
York, and, if they go through on this
number of tickets, of course, the Ger
man is one railroad fare ahead-a

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 22.-The con-
vention called for the purpose of effect
ing national organization for the adj
vancement of gospel temperance work,
convened in Music hall this morning.
Those interested in the new society are,
almost without exception, women who
have withdrawn from the National
Women's Christian Temperance union
on account of its alliance with the Pro-
hibitiOn party. The new organization
is, therefore, looked upon as a rival OF
the w. c. L. u, and considerable inter-
est is being manifested in the proceed
lngS of the convention. When the first
session was called to order at 10 o'clock,
about 200 ladies representing the states
of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Name, Vermont,
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota
were present. After the opening devO-
tional exercises the enrolment of men,
berS took place. One hundred and
twenty-five members signed the roll,
after which temporary organization
was formed ly the election of Mrs. L.
j. Phinney, of Cleveland, as president,
and Mrs. j. Cornelia Afford, of Brook
4SD, N l., DIS secretary. Letters ana
kilograms expressing sympathy and en-
enlargement were received from John
6. Whittier, the poet; Rev. DR.. Lyman
Abbott, Postmaster General Wanamak-
maker and others. Referring to Wanna
makers letter, Mrs. Phinney said: II
am afraid the postmaster general is too
good Republican for US. He believes
that his party can handle the temperance
question to the best advantage. We are
not so minded" Mrs. j. Ellen Foster,
of Iowa, will in all probability be
elected to the presidency of the new Of
ganiZation, which has not as yet been
given name. Many more delegates
arrived during the day, and the after
noon session was attended by fully 250
ladies. Committees On constitution and
resolutions were appointed by the
selection of one member from each
state. The convention then went into
committee of the whole and discuss ed
methods, aims and objects of the
new organization. This evening Rev.
r. G. s. Pomeroy, of the Second Pres
byterian church, and Miss f. Jenny
Doty made addresses of welcome, to
which Mrs. Aidrich. of Iowa. responded.

NO SHAKESPEARE WROTE.
NO Byron Penned Line Describ-
ing COagO.


There is something in very loud pants
at the museum this week that zCoiogist
would find it hard to classify. 1t has
four legs and tail, deep. dark, tender
and meditative eye, wears a plug hat
cooked with jaunty air on side of its
head, has smile that is suggestivelv
like a cows, and chewsss tobacco. That
is Congo. Congo is got up in very loud
style. He wears his tail in earl papers,
has pair of red-striped pans and the
biase air of tired jester who might find
the world an awful bore ii it were not
all SUCH a huge joke. Just what Congo
is no one has been able to say. He looks a
good deal like a cross between a negro
and an Old-time oriental jackass
Perhaps he is: the lecturer at the mu-
scum says so. People stand and look
al Congo and laugh because he is the
most ridiculous looking creature that
was ever permitted to live. He has only
one bad habit, and that is, he chews.
He will eat tobacco like hay. The 9TH
er day man gave him whole plug.
He took it and felt i'll all the next
day.
Congo would make quite a respectable
looking negro if he didn't have hoJfs
and tail. His tail is what gives Congo
away. 1t is unmistably a donkey's
tail. and indicates that his mother must
have kept bad company at some time in
her life. Congo does not speak; he
simply looks wise, winks profoundly
and says nothing. If he has any views
of life he is too much of philosopher
to speak of them. He draws his salary
and fills his contract when he fills the
museum with smiles and laughter. He
does that without saving a word.
