The Negro in Oklahoma !.

Topeka, KAs., December BID.
B. Garrett, of the colored colony of
Oklahoma. arrived in this city yes
terday, and states that there are now
fully four thousand colored people in
Oklahoma, and that colonization
work will be pushed in all cities of
the west. He says the people are
entirely satisfied with the country
and their prospects.
Colonel Mason, of Mississippi, who
has been here two weeks, is advoca-
ting the purchase of the Cherokee
strip for settlement by the colored
race. Several prominent negroes of
this city are moving in that direc-
ton, and will ask President Harri-
son to appoint a commission of col
ored men to negotiate with the Cher
okees for the purchase of the strip
for homestead settlement for their
own race exclusively. This propo-
sition is founded on information that
the Indians are willing to have the
colored people settle on the strip. 1t
is argued that--as a resolution has
just been introduced in the United
States Senate to appropriate large
sum of money to carry colored colo
nists to Africa--if the government
can appropriate money to transport
the Negro to Africa, it has the pow
er to appropriate money to purchase
lands for him at home, and could
buy the strip for the purpose. 1t is
urged that strong and united effort
be made to this end, and the Afro
American League, which meets short
ly in Chicago, will be requested to
take the subject under consideration.

CHRISTMAS exercises were held in
the Reformed Church Of this city
Xmas morning at o'clock a. m.
The church was beautifully trimmed
for the occasion. The services
throughout was an imposing one,

occasion. The singing by the choir
and the music rendered by the or
chestra, under the leadership of

their exercises at 6 o'clock in the

music, recitations, and addresses.

Capt. Reed had his overcoat cut

YE Editor, in his capacity as law
yer, spent Monday and Tuesday last
at Luray, Va. We made many pleas
ant acquaintance there and are very
thankful to Bench and Bar for many
courtesies. Judge Brand is very af-
fable, and also prompt in his rulings.
Captain Parks is an able prosecuting
attorney, and our associate in the
trial, Mr.. Snyder, holds his own well
in the court room. The town is on
hill, and apparently mountain lock-

picturesque scenery imaginable. Mr..
Sherman, formerly of Berkeley

Deford's large tannery, kindly call

native of this county, and now town
sergeant of Mines, and among others
we were certainly pleased to see the
pleasant conference of Brother
Gordon, of Bunker Hill, who was

Luray. He said he heard familiar
voice in the court room and walked
in to investigate. The worst is yet
to be told, for when we reached

CONGRESS-.

This very large body of paid SER
wants of the people will meet to re-
sumo duties on Monday next. Thus
far, the session has not amounted to
anything, so far as actual results are
concerned. Any number Of bills
have been introduced, some for bun
combe and some for business. The
people would like to have some bus
mess transacted. This thing of draw
ing five thousand dollars a year and
mileage out of the peoples treasury
and doing nothing, is becoming irri-
tating. A little less get and little
more good, square, straight work,
will prove more beneficial to the
country. There were several bills
failed in the House, last Congress,
that had been passed in the Senate,
applicable to this section, which we
hope will not be permitted to occur
again this session. We therefore
suggest to Representative Wilson
that he move promptly and earnest
ly in these matters, so as to get on
the calendar within voting distance.

ON Thursday of last week, engine
No. 843, near Dickerson's Station,
on the Metropolitan branch was
thrown down 80 foot embankment,
by horse, which after running along
the track, attempted to cross, thus
derailing the engine. Amos Reed,
the engineer, was instantly killed.
Mr.. Reed has been in the service
of the B. & 0. r. r. Co. for thirty
five years. He was highly esteemed
by the officers of the company. He
was a brave and fearless engineer.
Confidence imposed in him was new
er misplaced. With steady and I'M
fiinching nerve he faithfully stood at
the throttle, and when death found
him, he was still at his post of duty.
He was generous even to fault. He
was admired and respected by all.
A fine specimen of physical strength
and manhood was he, but in the
twinkling of an eye, without mo-
ment's warning, the huge iron steed
hurled him into the mouth of de-
struction, into the cold embrace of
death. He was buried on Sunday
from the residence of his son in law,
Chas. M. Lamar. The floral tribute
from his companions, the employees
of the road, were beautiful emblems
of the regard and esteem in which
he was held. The "gates ajar," was
especially beautiful. May the half
open portals of heaven, represented
in the emblem, be truly realistic.
May the sad lesson which is being
taught us daily, influence us to be
not only upon the "look out" for OBJ
structions in the pathway of life,
but may we, with the trimmed lamp
of faith, be constantly watching for
the grim monster, death, who, like
thief in the night, so often bears
upon us. l..

A call has been issued for a gene
raj convention of miners of the Uni
ted States, to be held in Columbus,
Ohio, on January Gath, 1890. The
object of the convention is the ANAL
gamation of the mining forces and
the finding of a national scale of pri-
ces for coal mining.
The four thousand miners of the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal Co. were
informed December Gath that there
would be an increase in their wages
after New Years. The advance,
which will range from five to ten per
cent, is based on the increased price
of steel rails.
A conference was held December
oath in Woburn, Mass, between the
leather manufacturers and the
Knights of Labor respecting the ex-
listing strike. No agreement was
reached. The Knights submitted a
price list, which will be considered
by the manufacturers.
A despatch from Pittsburg says
that a majority of the coal miners in
the Monongahela Valley have resum-
ed operations at the half cent per
bushel advance in the mining rate
demanded by the miners. A few
mines are still idle, but all will be in
operation in ten days. The resump-
tion will give employment to nearly
5000 men, who have been on strike
for two months.

In some parts of Kansas corn is
selling on the farm this year for 90
cents bushel. A bushel of coal de-
livered on the same farms costs 81
to % cents a bushel. The Farmers
Alliance called the attention of the
farmers to the fact that it might les
sen the demand for coal, as we'll as
perhaps raise the price of corn, to
cease buying the coal and use the
corn for fuel. Accordingly, corn is
now actually being burned as fuel by
numerous Kansas farmers. This,
perhaps, looks wicked when Dakota
farmers are said to be suffering for
food. But the question is, is it any
more wicked to burn corn for fuel
than it is to put the price of coal so
high that a bushel of corn will not
pay for bushel of coal?

No pity on the tender, timid bloom

Was young, there came to me, Of friends,

Came with the light Of kindness in his
With gentIest words and actions mani

That clamors for a glance, a word, a

The loneliness--the pitiful unrest,
That finds surcease from pain in dreams
alone
If he but knew! All, help me, heaven dear,
To greet him always with untrembling
hands,
To meet his own with eyes full calm and
clear,
That he may never read their wills de-

Enough, that on my solitary way,
He sometimes glances down and smiles
