Worlds Columbian Commissioner


In reply to The statements of The
Alorjs Gldr!dge correspondence about the
price offered for his wheat this fall,
Henry Nessey says that he never intend
ed to sell the wheat to the elevator in the
first place und that he was not offered -
cents a btlshel for it. The agent vo!ln-
tariiy came and examined samples of two
sacks out OF a small lot Of the wheat
hauled TO the station, iot to the elevator,
and said the best he could do would be
to grade it No. :. with % pounds dock
age. Mr.. Vessey's experience had cor
vinced h!m that be would lose money in
some way Or another il he solo to the ele.
vator, So he slipped to Minneapolis and
made money by the operation. At the
time referred to by the correspondent he
could have got 10 cents more d bushel
net. II his wheat had been in Mime
apolls.
MIR. Vessey does not de1lre to get into
any controversy with the elevators He
believes in their right to a fair profit on
their money invested the same as
b 'siness men, and dealers in other com.
modiies, but not in the eXtortionatc
profits that have built up a systedl which
has placed the farmer at the mercy of q
few individuals who have become. if re.
ports are true, very rich within the last
few years, while the farmer has groWr
correspon diugly poorer. AS farmer
Mr.. Nessey simply desires to give the
result OF has own experience in shipping
wheat to commission houses, for the
benefit of his neighSors and friends. He
believes that every farmer who has not
sold his grain in this way this year IS a
loser, to Il more or less extent

A HORRIBLE DEATH.

A special to the New Orleans Times
Democrat thus describes how Willis
Smith, charged witt criminal assault
upon a white woman, was put to death
near Port Gibson, Miss. "He was first
skinned alive he was then cut up bit
by bit. He suffered excruciating ag-
onv, but his captors continued their
work. The Negro could stand the
pain no longer, and died a horrible,
fearful death in forty minutes. His
most vital parts were cut out. The
brute's carcass was left in the woods
as food for the buzzards, that is il
they will tuch such carrion as he.'
The platform makers of both political
parties are so intent upon bordering
the condition of the Russian Jews that
they never pay any attention to such
occurrences in the Gland of the free
and the home of the brave"
The southern argus., 1891-10-01
NEGRO SOLDIERS.

Major Guy V. Henry, commander
of Fit. Meyer, near Washington, d. O.,
at which Troop 4, colored, of the
ninth cavalry, has recently been sta
toned, on account of gallant and mer-
itorious service in the recent Indian
outbreak, speaks highly Of the fight
ing qualities of Negro soldiers.
He says they make better soldiers
than white men. When a Negro en-
lists and gets on uniform he is in
his glory. 1t elevates him. He re-
gards enlistment in the army as some
thing to be proud of. On the other
hand white men usually enlist because
they can find nothing else TO do. They
have no love for the life. Negro
soldiers are especially valuable as
Indian fghters, Col. Henry says
The Indians are more afraid OF them
than of white men, too.
"The bullying instincts inherent in
the colored soldiers character" he
says; "their natural air of braggadocio
and swagger, impose on the Indians,
and they are afarid of the colored
troops while they have sort of con
tempt for the white soldiers. They'll
fight like devils, too, those colored
cavalrymen.
They charge with yell that is
enough to make ones hair stand, anC
the Indians are often scared before
they are hurt. They are like children
in their ignorance of fear. They
would go to hell with me, these color
ed troopers. Another thing about
them is to be considered. Suppose
there should be Fenian outbreak OF
riot of German socialists, our white
soldiers, who are largely Irishmer
and Germans, could dot be eXpecleC
to fight their fellow countrvmen will
much zeal. But Negro wonldn'
want anything better than chance
to kill some of his hereditary enemies
Germans and Irish. He knows they
don't like him, and he likes them M
better. In Europe, too, i has beer
the experience of army officers tha
Negroes make the best soldiers. =
Chicago Conservator.
While we do not regard the abov'
quotation as being altogether compli
mentary of the Negro soldier, neithe
do we particularly admire the style
nor the dictum in which he is writer
up. However, we give il to our read
ers for what it is worth to them.

three years Leaving college he visited
Sumatra, Java and the islands of East
Indies, then returned to England after
a two years tour. He next took pas
sage on a vessel coming to America
and arrived in New York April 13 1869.
Ten days after he shipped as cabin
boy and made a six months cruise of
West India ports. He has long been
known in this country as a fluent
writer, having edited a number of
pamphlets that displayed rare ability.
He is now in the south in the interest
of scheme to induce the cOlOred people
of the south to emigrate to California
He has read law and been admitted to

Maj Mckinley did the graceful
thing at Cincinnati on labor day when
he refused to stop at certain hotel be-
cause Hon. John p. Green had been re-
fused accommodations. Of course there
will be some who will say that the ma
ior had no other alternate, that being a
candidate and depending largely on the
Afro American vote he was forced by
this circumstance to stop where Mr..
Green was quartered. We are too apt
in these piping times of politics to inn
pugn a mans motive. Let it be as it
NAV. whether the circumstances and
the political situation did or did not
actuate to cause Maj Mckinley to re-
fuse to stop where Mr.. Green had been
refused accommodations, in absence of
any positive proof from the major to
the contrary, we can not help but admit
that he did the graceful thing. No man
has right. whether in the midst of a
political controversy or whether in the
complacent days that follow, to miscon-
strue "a graceful act or a noble deed.
Many will be the Afro Americans that
will applaud Maj. Mckinley for it. It
was in the line of right, and he did it
because he was a man that believed in

mother of the i'll child was very anx-

shown the sick child or its mother by
other mothers present than was by
those who have never experienced the
ANXIETY that attends mothers care.
The child's mothers statement was
sufficient to satisfy all reasonable peo-
ple that there was no contagion COM
ing from the sick child, and for those
ladies and other passengers to hoist
their windows, thus inviting the heavy
night air upon the ailing child, was
unmotherly, unkind and manifested a
selfish spirit.
True kindness, sympathy and the
human disposition are the same every
where. Travellers should greet one

Nothing inspires nation more than
patriotic national airs. Cleveland's
defeat for the presidency three years
ago was largely the result Of the old
and newly coined songs that were
sung at the Republican rallies during
that memorable campaign Of 'S9. The
worlds most popular preacher, i. De
Witt Talmage, is accredited with the
authorship Of this sentence: Gone in
spring national air is worth thirty
thousand men as a standing army"
Brother Republicans, if you woul Id
touch the soul quickly and move the
man speedily do not fail to carry your
rallying campaign hymnals along with
you and use them. There are num-
Der Of ways by which dog may be
killed. When you find that you can't
