POWER OF STRENGTH.

Let the Afro-Americans of the
State organize a cooperative busi-
ness enterprise among themselves
in each locality where there are a
sufficient number of them to COM
bine their money and establish
some sort Of business. We have in
this city enough colored men who
can we'll afford to invest at least
$3.50 a piece and go into Boot and
Shoe Store, Grocery, or Dry
Goods Store, and do a frst-class and
respectable trade which will com
mand the patronage of all elements
in the community. As rule the
colored citizens are constantly COM
planning Of the whites because they
do not employ some colored clerk
in their establishments as they do
other nationalities, and they harbor
the impression that it is race preju-
dice because they are not employed.
But from broad, liberal and busi-
ness standpoint it is not prejudice
on the part Of the whites at all. 1t
is a business transaction wholly
and simple. For instance suppose
the colored population in this city
spent annually 100000 for clothing
and shoes alone, and it was fact
to the merchants who are engaged
in such business. We would not
have to make an application for
places, but our services would be
sought for by the merchants, with
out any effort on our part. But as
it is, we are so weak financially
that there is no attention paid to
us, one way OF the other; or from
a more general standpoint. If
there were fifty colored men in this
State, engaged in the grocery trade
and handling upwards Of $4,000
Of goods each, the bright and hon
est young colored man would find
ready and steady employment at
the hands of the wholesale mer-
chants, throughout the country to
sell to these thrifty Afro-American
retailers. This is the only way to
solve the race problem, and until
we become business men, the prob
lem will not be solved.
Let the colored press and pulpit
advocate this principle and endeav-
or to stamp it indelibly upon the
minds Of the young generation that
is now coming up to take our places.
1t is very good to have some poll
ticians, but as race there are too
many among us, without any power
at all, save their own votes
and some tricks, by hook or crook
they may use by taking advantage
of the ignorance of their race. Let
us do away with so much politics
and give just one-third of our time
to trades and business enterprises
and the political honors will come
without selling yourselves to the
politicians Of either political party.
Three solvent business colored men
weld more power in their commu-
nifty than one hundred of these self
ward "heelers" who |
are constantly going to conventions
at the expense Of some white man
with the view of doing his bidding
for some small clerkship or menial
place, all put together.
There are three potent things we
must accomplish, and they are to
PLAN, CALCULATE, and ACCUMULATE,
and when we have accomplished
these people will be seeking us,
instead of us seeking them.

Mrs. Susie Davis, one of our en-
terprising ladies, is managing the
grand concert to be given at ST
Paul's Church, Monday night. Let
the citizens turn out and make it 9
success.
Jas. S. Xix, Sope to-day is al
great demand by the customers Of
groceries. The Sope washes better
than any other, and at the same
time it answers the purpose Of blu
ing, you do not use any bluing with
this sope.
Rumor has it that a prominent
member Of the third house has bar
gained for more than he is able to
carry out. It seems that the young
lady is demanding too much Of his
wages.
Mr.. s. H. Richardson, one of the
most useful and influential business
men of this city, has took up his
home in Harvard, Neb. The many
friends .of Mr.. Richardson regret
his departure, and that which is
Springfeld's loss, is Harvard's
gain.
The committee having in charge
the concert to be given in aid Of ST.
Augustines Episcopal Church, have
almost completed a program, and
have decided to fix the date at about
the middle of April. Hon. E. H.
Morris and other visitors have con-
sented to assist the best local talent
in what promises to be the grand
est affair Of this kind ever given in
this city by our people.
The Lutheran Church was we'll
attended last Sunday night. Rev.
Knabenschuh preached on baptism.
He used no catechisms: but only the
word of God, and clearly proved to
his intelligent hearers that sprink-
ling and pouring answered the
same purpose that immersion does.
It was very instructive sermon.
He used the Greek New Testament
and also the greek dictionaries Of
some Of the great learned professors
of Europe.
The Lincoln Monument Lodge,
No. 1924, Grand United Order of
Odd Fellows, gave grand musical
and literary entertainment on last
Tuesday night at their hall; it was
decorated with buntings
and other tasteful trimmings. Music
and refreshments were in abundance.
The committee having the affair in
charge were G. W. Blrdsong, chair
man; Green Johnson, George Rol-
Inns, Il. A. Kicks and Charlie Wat
ers; they deserve much credit for
the manner in which the affair was
conducted.
