Now, Isn't This Nice?

The APPEAL is the foremost journal of
the race in its push for rare news of race
doings, and monument to the enter
prise of the Adams Bros. Some oftheir
methods partake of those of the daily
papers. Mr.. Prices speech before the
n. p. A. was delivered Friday night,
and TIE APPEAL had it in full in it's next
morning issue. It is published at St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, Louisville
and st. Louis, aid is said to be the only
real money-making journal Of the race.
Mr.. }. @. Adams, its head and Cyrus his
brother are solid buiness men from
Louisville. Mr.. ]. .#once enjoyed the
reputation of being the handsomest
Colored man in America, and has seen
more years than he cares to tell definitely
being still an unmarried man.. He is an
indefatigable worker, of splendid ply
sique. To him more than any other one
person are the citizens and visitors to
the N. p. A. indebted for the splendid
banquet of the 10th ult. st. Paul letter

eral Wanamaker and other friends.
The distinguished lady is said to be
highly delighted with the gift Of this
summer home at Cape May Point. The
rest ofus will probably not be similarly
favored with sea-or lakeside home, but
an equal amout of rest and enjoyment,
with greater VARIETY of scene, can be
secured by taking your summer outing
over" TheBurlington, the favorite river

The California Sentinel, which. by the
way, is one of the best Of our exchanges,
and is always chock full of good things,
in recent issue says:
1--WE can account for a Colored man
being fool because we have great
uncle who is slightly afflicted that way.
but blast our office cat if we can see how
a Colored man can be Democrat in the
face of the fact that the Democratic par
ty always was and is today opposed to
his interests, The record of the Demo-
cratic party is record of infamy and
shame. 1t enacted the fugitive slave
law, it opposed the confering of the
right of citizenship upon the Colored
man. On every question of legislation
that has presented itself in favor of the
Colored man in this country the Demo-
cratic party has opposed it aud yet Col
ored men talk about being Democrats"
So far as the Republican party is con-
cerned, it is bad enough; but, it is SUI
perlatively superior to the Democratic
party. In a choice of two evils it is an
evidence of good sense to choose the
lesser, hence Colored men show their
sense by being Republicans rather than
Democrats.

Ouinine Overcoats.

Few people have any idea Of the
amount Of quinine that is consumed in
period of time or of that sold by single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant stories
have been told by individuals to the
amont Of the alcholoid which they
have consumed and if 1t has not been
quantity sufficient to put them in
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide a comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This
time Of year, overcoats are out of season
and the question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-
ton come in that line. Thoughts of this
kind should lead one to inquire of any
agent of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Ry., as to summer rates to tourist points
IN all parts of the country, or for short
fishing excursion. Any special informa-
ton will be cheerfully furnished upon
application to c. NJ. Pratt, G. T. & P. a.

monies, and while some of The members

carried out with great taste aud refine
ment to the delight Of all present., sew
eral of our cultured white friends have
said to me that such entertainments are
doing much to convince, many who are
Ignorant of the growth Of the race iu the
arts of refinement, aud hundreds are
saying who attended the concert at
First Bnptirt church July 10Th and the
one at Plymouth church Aug. 18th, that
thes could not have believed that the
degree OF musical and literary culture
exhibited on these two occasions could
be possible. They were gratifed, as
tonished and amazed. The First Bap-
fist church would like to have us repeat
the concert at their church this fall. All
who took part deserve mention: Miss
Annie Ridley convinced us that her
great hit GU her first appearance iu the
city was not by chauce, but she came
up to the fullest expectation, iu the
beautiful rendition of her part. Mrs.
William Smith and Mr.. J. M. Allison
never sang better. Mrs. Lewis Wilson

songs were received with delight to all.

EREF TRADE PHI ANTHROPY

FREE TRADE PHILANTHROPY.
If the asseverations of free trade attor-
neys are to be believed these gentlemen
should be credited with larger share OF
philanthropy than is allotted to the aver
age man. While persistently demanding
the reduction of all such duties as they
dare not hope to have repealed, they in
sist upon being credited with the desire
to help others rather than themselves.
Statistics are distorted, market quota
tions are garbled, facts but partially sta
ted-in short, inquirers who are honest
ly seeking information are purposely
misled-to bring about a reversal of the
popular belief that legislation for the
protection of the labor and industries of
this country is for the general good.
All this for the benefit of others than
those spending their time and money in
advocating free foreign trade!
Millions of voters employed in manu-
featuring here in the United States, at
better wages than are paid in any other
country in the world, are asked to sup
port policy that must inevitably re-
suit in one of two alternatives; either to
turn over to foreigners the privilege of
manufacturing for this country, or COM
pei American workmen to accept the
same wages that foreigners now work
for. And in the plenitude Of free-trade
philanthropy it is insisted that all the
writing and preaching to this end is to
promote the welfare of those who work
for wages.
Before giving ear to such fallacious
pleadings, it will be we'll for working
men now engaged in those industries
that foreigners seek to supplant, to look
around, with the view to discover what
equally remunerative employment the
free-trade preachers are likely to have
ready for them. On this point the
preachers maintain a silence that is
peculiarly suggestive.

five of The best known artists to the

dances are new. The vocal position of
the show is under the direction of the
noted minstrel tenor Julian Jordan,
whose ballad, ..The Song that Reached
my Heart has become SO popular. He
will sing his latest composition, "a
Touch of Humanity in Minneapolis

and Sullivan first part, is another
prominent feature. Ogawa's Yokohama

battles will be seen in Minneapolis for
