The COIOred Man and the
Republican Party.

1t is a hard matter to decide what
party some of our colored Journals
do endorse. They seem to think
that all parties are against them and
that they ought to necessarily be
opposed to all parties. They score
the negro for voting the Republican
ticket, and take great pride in show
ing up wrongs that the negro has
received at the hands Of Republl.
can administration; but fail to tell
him what party is his friend. 1t is
a fact that the colored people, as a
rule, are Republicans; this tact Is
conceded by all. If there shoul DC
some, be they many or few, who
are not Republicans, why not be
Democrats, Prohibitionists or some
thing else? Why do men hold OF
to party with one hand while th'
other is in sympathy with the enc
my? Let us be one thing or thu
other. Some colored men don
want to be Republicans and by
some means they can't be Demo
Gratis. Now let our colored journ
ais come out and advocate tn
cause of some particular party. Sc
its merits before the people, LIE
us understand why we should no
vote with the Republicans. l
there is a better party somewher
in reserve les us know; but uni
this is done, we say "colored mel
stand by the Republican party.

An EXPLOSION KILLED HIM.
CHIEF ENGINEER FARRIER DEAD AND SIX
FIREMEN HURT.
BARREL OF TURPENTINE BLOWS UP AT A
SMALL FIRE IN JERSEY CITY.

SMALL FIRE IN JERSEY SlIi'
Chief Engineer Henry f. Farrier of the Jersey
City Fire Department was killed last night While
attending a fire at Pavonia-ave. and Grove-st. Az
about p. m. alarm of fire was sent out
The flames were discovered to he in quantity OF
straw in the cellar of the hardware store Of e.
Boltwood. As soon as the alarm could be re-
sponded to the chief and his department were
on hand, preparing for work.
Followed by County Clerk Dennis Mclaughlin
and John p Feeney president of the Board Of
Police Commissioners, and some fremen, the Chlef
dashed into the cellar He found number Of
boxes filled with straw on fire. These were thrown
I'D the stairs to the sidewalk and the fire was
believed to be under control, if not entirely eX-
tinguished The County Clerk and Mr.. Feency
rushed upstar to the apartments of the tenants
who occupied the four-story brick building.
They had hardly left the cellar when
an explosion took place. Fireman John Mcdonald
and Fireman Michael Whalen were near the cellar
steps Mcdonald was thrown to the sidewalk
by the explosion and probably fatally injured.
Whaen was thrown up several steps and severely
injured and Chief Farrier was killed. The force
with which he was thrown down broke his neck.
but he was otherwise not dsfigured
Assistant Engineer John Denmend, who was
there, was also injured by glass cutting his
face Fireman John Farrell and two other fire
men were slightly hurt. The explosion was caused
by the heat from the fire coming in contact with
a barrel of turpentine.
When the uninjured had recovered from the
shock the cellar was searched and the dead body OF
their chief was found by the fremen. 1t was
carried to the street and then taken to Brady's
Norpue. but will be sent to the chiefs house to-
day
The sad affair cast gloom over Jersey City
last night. and men could hardly believe it to be
true. Chief Engineer Farrier was the first chlei
of the paid fire department, and with an inter
ruption of only two years held the once c0hunu-
orlSly lie had been chief Of the old volunteer
department for years before that when the Repuo-
can marty was in power. 1t was standing
Joke in those days that if the Republicans won
the charter elections Henry Farrier would ,tn ue
chief and if the Democrats were successful MI
Farricr's only rival, John Coyle; would have the
Office wife and three children survive n .he
funeral yet.
