Jefferson City, Mo.
We are sorry to say that Mrs. Lizzie
Capleton is very i'll.
Mrs. W. G.. Sears was in the CITY Sat-
urday visiting her mother. =
We are very proud to have such an
Afro-American paper distributed in our
city as The APPEAL.
We hope that the industrial school
that will soon be connected with Lin
coin Institute will be success.
Lincoln Institute is not stone monu-
ment, but living, breathing monument.
Prof. Page and his able corps of teachers
beautifully carry out 4he thought. IF
we work upon marble, it will perish if
we work upon brass, time will efface it;
if we rear temples, they will crumble
into dust; but if we work upon immor-
tai minds, if we imbue them with prin-
ciples, with ajust fear of God and love
of our fellow-men, we engrave on those
tablets something which will brighten to
all eternity"

the maximum resides nearest the limit
ola thousand miles South of the Worlds
FAR city, it Is eminentlv fitting at this
period for the Exposition MANAGEMENT
located at Chicago, which in every sense
will be world. wide and international
enterprise. to be directing their atten-
ton to the creation of proper enthusi-
asm and agitation among the newly made
citizens of the United States.
There are several State industrial asso-
Citations entirely controlled and operated
by the Colored people. Some of those
have already held State Fairs, among the
most prominent being the one in New
Orleans few years since and that held
in Maryland. The press of the country
was almost unanimous in expressing the
opinion that such State institutions
! should be encouraged in every wav pos
slbIe, as it was the very best means of H.
lustrating, from time to time, what might
be accomplished by the race. AS long
as such spirit is dominant among all
classes of our cities in the country, it is
evidently our paramount duty to see to
1t that we in every way possible, devel-
ope such sentiment upon every occa-
sion offered. The Afro-American or
ganizations and citizens having the best
interests of the people at heart, should
Immediately set to work formulating
plans for the encouragement of Colored
exhibitors, who may wish to offer arti-
cles for display at the forthcoming Ex-
position of 1893. There are numerous
ways by which this can be brought about,
especially by our Colored ministers,
State associations, and other agencies
having in view the Colored peoples de-
velopment. But if the editors of our
various publications will take hold of this
work, and give it their earnest attention,
ever keeping in view the necessity OF
their readers producing articles to ex.
olbit, illustrative of the races progress
duri''g the last twenty. five years, it will
40 more to establish a proper sentiment
from now till 1898, than might be gained
through any other channel. For exam.
pie, prize for the best article written
bv Colored juvenile on some topic out.
lined by the editor say on Industrial Ex-
hlbitions would open up the topic before
the readers of the papers in which it ap.
peared, and would likewise prove stim-
ul>s for those having in mind the offer
ing of articles for exhibition, to push
ahead with their efforts"

Governor Nichols assures Italy that
race or nationality did not enter into
"the disturbance" But as the governor
himself did enter into ''the disturbance. !"
Italy may not be much consoled by this
official assurance. Still, there can be no
doubt that the assurance that what has
been called massacre was only dis
turbance, may be very tranqull]izing to
the hot blOoded Italians.

THE DEMOCRATIC FREEMAN

THE DEMOCRATIC FREEMAN.
If any Chicago people had any doubts
about the politics of the Indianapolis
Freeman, they were dispelled last week
when a special Democratic edition was
distributed in Chicago. The circulation
and influence of the Freeman is very
limited in Chicago but Cabell the agent
went to the South Town committee and
tried to sell out his imaginary influence.
Then he wrote the badly spelled letter
of which the following is verbatum
copy:
s. S. Cabell
Chicago Rep. Agent
for The Freeman.
Chicago, March "a, 1891.

South Town Friends-or alderman wish

if the Republicans will not take advan-
tage I will accept of the Citizens and
democrats offers and desire---
Resp &C. j; S.. Cabell.
The Republicans did not think his in
Aueace of any value and declined to pur-
chase. Cabell then made dicker with
the Democrats to get out an extra edition
supporting Cregier and the whole Dem
ocratlc ticket. This was done says the
paper latter mature consideration as to
the best interests fthe Colored people,"
The consideration was check for $50
given by the Democratic campaign COM
mittee. This is dirty piece of business
to attempt to defeat the regular Repub-
aican ticket, especially as there was a
Colored Candidate thereon. Great (?)
Negro Cooper and his lieutenant CabelI
deserve the censure of all decent Colored
people. They are traitors to their race.
It'has however been proven by the re-
suits that it was very well for the Repub-
}icans that the Freeman did not support
sheir ticket as it seems to have been
"hoodoo" for the Democrats.
