THE FISHING SCHEME.
THEY HAVE A ROUSING MEETING.
Hon. ALI. Adams and DR.. Franklin
Discuss the "POlitical Status"
of the Negro.

The meeting at Music Hall, last
Monday night, was largely attended
by both ladies and gentlemen. Hon.
All. Adams and DR.. Franklin pre-
sented the "Political Statusn of the
negro in very string and pointed
speeches. They challenged any white
man in the city, democrat or republi-
can, to discuss the question with
them, or to answer their argument
DR.. Franklin gave a brief review of
the preamble of the 'fishing scheme"
and also stated what it had accom-
plished. Mr.. J. M. Brown made a
short talk which was simply a coinci-
dence with the other speakers.
The "fishing scheme' is the only
organization among the colored vo-
ters IN Greene county, and its pl nci-
Piles have been conceded to oy the
leading white men OF both parties as
being just and rie ht. Its embers
are not democ' aus whatever, and it's
leaders exhorved all the colored men
to vote foc eve:y epU nl can tnaG is
to the negroes Interests and
scratch" eve y one opposed to them.
They adjourned to meeG aG the polls
on the 4th Of November, there to
fish for their friends. "In hoe

HE republican party suppressed
a gigantic rebellion, emancipated
four million of slaves, decreed the
equal citizenship Of all, and firmly
established universal suffrage
With unparalleled magnamity it
punished no man for political Of
lenses. 1t has steadily and firmly
controlled the disorders cOnse-
quent upon a great war The Pa
citic railroad, and similar vast en-
terprises have been generously
aided by it, the public lands freely
given to actual settlers, uniform
national currency has been pro-
vided, repudiation frowned down,
the national credit sustained under
the most trying circumstances.
This glorious record Of the past is
the Eartys best pledge for the
future -Ex.
1t IS upon this unbiased record
that the republican party expects
to win. 1t is upon the record Of
being the laboring mems friend
that Col. Wade expects to win. It
is upon his record with the negroes

WHILE politics may be quite inter
eslng, there are other matters of
equal Importance to the colored
American that should command q
portion of their attention. Education,
The getting of which, cultivation of
morality, the creation of a respectable
social circle. These matters are of vi
tai Importance to all, and claim atten-
tiOn.-EE.
It is to the negroes discredit that
too many Of them lose sight of these
indispensable elements of success.
Let US do more to better the moral,
social and financial status of the race

the value Of true womanhood, and
that they can be useful as we'll as

ter is an idea prevalent among
many Of our girls, and they strive
for no further achievement.
The majority Of our girls Of the
present day think no more OF their
future than dress or a hat that
has been discarded because it is
out Of fashion. Those who have
finished their school days, if not
their education, generally enter
upon the road Of frivolous gayety; /;
and those who are too young to in
vent an excuse for leaving school,
look on and sigh because their day
has not arrived.
Their time is spent in attending
balls, receptions, theatres, receiv-
ing and returning calls, shopping,
or perhaps reading the latest SEN
sational novel.
A remarkable fact, although
true, is that their time is SO en-
crossed they scarcely ever have
the opportunity Of assisting their
mother with her work, although

time to society and it's require

Her Skull Was Uninjured and Her Neck
Was Broken.

The body Of Mrs. Anna Mckee, wife Of Tax
Collector George W. Mckee of Wilmington,
Del. was exhumed by Coroner Gamble yester-
day morning upon an order from States Attor-
ney John Biggs. Mrs. Mckee was killed about
SIX weeks ago in jumping or falling from a
carriage. in which she and her husband were
riding. in the suburbs OF that city. The body
was buried without the formality Of an inquest,
the coroner giving certificate OF accidental
death upon an explanation of the accident
made by Mr.. Mckee. He said that his horse
had been frightened while his wife WAS driving,
and while he was trying to control the animal
she became frightened. and. rising to her feet,
was either thrown out by a motion of the car
riage or she attempted to jump from it and was
killed.
Ugly rumors Of q character to cause sus-
picion of foul play have been afloat in the city
and county ever since the burial of Mrs. Nc
KEGS body. and these have eliminated in the
official action taken yesterday The body was
taken from the grave yesterday in the presence
OF the coroner and post norton was held by
the coroners physician. Tho womans skull
was sawed off and laid bare. There was neither
scratch nor wound upon it. The wounds of
the head were all flesh wounds. A further ex-
OF death confirmed the testimony of Under
taker J. A Wilson that death was causSl by
the breaking OF the woman's neck. 1t was
found that the neck was dislocated right at the
base of the skull. After the post norton the
jury adjourned until this afternoon. The re-
turn of the coroner will be made to the state 8
attorney, and If evidence warranting an indict-
ment Is found the chief justice of the state will
order an extra session of the court to try the
case.

Can Babies Remember?


My mother went to visi. my grandfather, :"
writes reader, taking with her a little
brother OF mine who was eleven months old.
and his nurse, who waited on her as a maid.
One day this nurse brought the baby into nv
mothers room and put him on the floor. which
was carpeted all over. There he crep, about
and amused himself as he felt inclined. When
my mother was dressed a certain ring that she
generally wore was not to DO found. Great
search was made. but it was never produced and
the visit over. they all went away, and it was
almost forgotten.
Exactly year after, they again went 10 visit
the grandfather. This baby was now n wear
and eleven months old. The same nurse took
him into the same room and my mother saw
him, after looking about him. deliberately
walk up 20 certain corner. turn n bit of Garnet
back and produce the ring. He never gave
any account OF the matter, nor did he so far

great fruit state, but also grows considerable

resembles Pennsylvania and may properly be
called the Pennsylvania of the Pacifc The

thousand acres owned by one person. and the
work is done chiefly by machinery. There are
only two brief seasons OF work-plowng and
reaping. Cattle and hogs roam over the fields
and fatten the rest of the year. 1t requires
large capital and big ranch to make that kind
of farming profitable. 1t is no place for farm

Flies Not Fond Of Sassafras.

From the New York Tribune
Nothing mars the enjoyment of q glass of
cool and sparkling soda water moro than the
settling of a score of flies upon the marble slab
Of a..pharmacy while the thirst allayers are be-
ing dispensed. Druggists have known of this
disgust which holds the attention Of their soda
customers. and have tried many means to rid
themselves OF the troublesome flies The day
o. the sticky and poisonous fly paper has gone.
however, SO far as drug stores, needs are con-
cerned. At least the use of the papers will be
discontinued when it is generally known that
the only thiEg on the face of the earth that a
hussy OF a buzzy fly cannot stomach is sassa-
fras. To the most outrageous of flies the
slightest aroma of sassafras Is a quietus Of won
dertul power.
A Tribune reporter caught all the above in
formation yesterday as he encircled his parched
throat about a phosphate in Broadway drug
store. The airy clerk toyed with an atomizer
rs the reporter listened. With graceful sweeps
be blew mist OF sassafras extract all over the
slab OF marble. Not fly approached within
ten feet of the shiny white counter notwith-
standing the eiysian fields OF sweet strip which
were mapped thereon.
Yes" the drug clerk said. 1--WE get the bulge
on the flies that way. We discovered the
remedy by accident a few days ago, but have

CAPITOL GLEANINGS:
A Bill to Pay the Venezuelan Claims
River and Harbor Bill.

II Congress passes the bill which Senator
Evarts introduced yesterday the awards made
by the Venezuelan claims commission will
speedily be paid. In the preamble to the bill
il is stated that the funds received by the De-
partment OF State from Venezuela on account
of the Caracas awards under the treaty of 1866
have been invested in United States bonds and
increased by interest and by appreciation OF
said bends; the Venezuelan government is not
to be credited with or reimbursed for pay
ments heretofore made upon such Of the Ca
racas awards as have been or may be annulled by
the commission now at work; that the present
commission allows interest on the awards made
by II from the time the cause of action arose
to the close OF said commissions term of Office
(September 3. 1890, and by treaty provision
they bear interest from that date; therefore
the Secretary OF State is authorized to apply
the funds named, with their accretions. to the
payment of the new awards and to credit the
Venezuelan government on account of said
new awards, with such accretions, as well as
with the principal OF said funds

NO MONEY FOR POWDERLY,
Cents to the Cause of the knights.

| Grand Secretary Dobs of the firemen, who is
the reputed author of the manifesto issued by
the council of the Federation Of Labor, was
| questioned with reference to the matter of
financial assistance to the New York Central
strikers. 1.-The formulation of our declaration
to the public" said MIR. Debs, .'ended our con-
nection with the New York Central strike at
least until the session of the supreme council is
| called again, of which there is at this time no
probability, and certainty not unless in some
way the federation should havs cause OF its
own for action independent Of the knights of
Labor.
Under our rule we cannot vote away money
| unless we are directly engaged in a strike
which strike must be Endorsed by the supreme
| council. and under no circumstances could the
federation call upon its protective fund or levy
| assessments upon members for such a purpose
| We could not as body contribute scent
piece toward strike in which tho federation Is
not directly engaged, and as we are not active
participants In the present upon the New York
| central system we could not. no matter how
/ much we might desire to do SO, contribute a
cent toward the knights. OF course am speak

for his brave words expressed in his dispatch
OF Saturday night and stating that whate yer

Would you care to state whether the
I members of the council were unanimous in
favor OF no federation strike upon assembling?"

were several who wanted the rules changed so
