LAND BILL" ALLEN
| Dies in the Poor IIouse-Thc Author of
the Homestead Law and His Eccentric

NuttNIs
COLUMBUS, O., Nov 3O-Georgc
Wheaton Allen, better known as Land
Bill Allen, author of the homestead law,
died Sunday night at the infirmary. He
was in his SD year, having been born
in Connecticut in 1909 lie came to
Ohio in 1880, and, engaging In the ped
ding and auctioneering business, amass-
ed considera bic wealth. On his peddling
wagon, which he drove through the
country, he had painted the notices:
Homes for everybody THE govern
ment lands belong to the people" and
Government lands to actual settlers"
He advocated the passage by congress
of ths present Homestead law, and
while travelling through the states adj
dressed legislatures and public meet
ings in an effort to create public senti-
ment N favor of his bill.
1t IS said he spent $50, creating
sentiment among the people, state
legislatures and congress in favor of his
proposition, and lived to see thousands
of his fellow men benefited thereby.
Although a man OF considerable
ability, he lacked the ability to manage
his own affairs, and years ago became
charge on his friends. He owned \
little cabin and few acres OF land in
Plain township, this county, where he
lived clone, but about three months ago
! it was sold for taxes for the third time,
and Oh account of his helpless condition
he YVES sent to the poor house.
The publication of this fact caused
contributions to pour in from all parts
of the country, but Land Bills mind
was gone, and on account of his utterly
helpless condition he was forced to re-
main at the intirmary. He was offered
home by philanthropic persons in
New Jersey and Philadelphia but his
condition was such that it made little
difference where he ended his days
Out of the contributions received for
him he will be given decent burial.

SEVEN LIVES LOST.

Rcsult of the Lake shore Accident


Result of the Lake shore Accident.
TOLEDO, O., Nov. SO.-The results OF
Saturday nights accident on the Lake
Shore, in this city, have been moro
serious than at first feared. In addi-
ton to the two who were killed out
right, five more have since died, and
several others can not survive. The
wounded also sustained more serious
injuries than was supposed at the time
Nearly all were frightfully burned
and scalded about the face and hands,
and many will be distigured for life.
The responsibility for the accident
has not yet been determined. The rail-
road officials have as yet made no state
mcnt, but the coroner is hard ut work
on the case, and will call jury Mon
lay morning
Lewis, the Flint and Pere Marquette,
engineer, will say but little concerning
the wreck. The Lake Shore engineer,
Boyle, an old timer, says he picked up
the red light beyond the tunnel easily,
and Lewis, of the F. & P NJ. ought To
have done the same.

posed that Mr. Cornish will favor

and 80 do the people that Mr..

tees will agree.

Ofcourse Miss Moten is better sit

DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.

While there may be some dis
abstraction among the District re
publicans, we can assure them
that the district Commissioners
mean to give them representa-
tion. There is no man more fav-
orably disposed toward district
republicans than the present
board of Commissioners, and so
far as Mr.. Ross is concerned,
who ls a democrat, he has no pre-
judice against a man on account
of his color or politics. Commits
sioner Douglass is in sympathy
with the republican party and
is no doubt but that he means, SO
lar as he can, give district repub-
licans representation in the dis
trlct government.

of their brethren in the South.
The Senate has made a grie veous
mistake, bat yet it is q shame that
the republican party should suffer
defeat on account of the cowardice
and treachery of a few men in
the party. Let the republican
party live; let civilization advance
and the will of the people be ex-
ercised. There is too much COW
ardice in the party; the party is in
need of brave men, men of cour-
age and convictions. The coun-
try is surprised at the action of
the Senate; the colored voter is
amazed and what to do is a ques-
tion for him now to consider.
President Harrison has done bis
duty; he has done everything in
his power TO urge Congress to en-
act some law to protect the dis
franehlsed voter, he has appealed
to Congress to do it's duty, but,
like a cowardly school boy the
friends of liberty and equality
have been slaughtered. The Ne
gro has been waiting for the par
ty to redeem its Hedges; the plat
form which was adopted at CHI
cago guaranteed to the colored
man the enforcement of his con-
stitutional rights; but the enforce
ment of any measure looking to
political emancipation of the COL
ored race is imaginary. The col
ored man can but live in hope,
his emancipation will SON come,
whether the Federal Elections
bill becomes a law or not.

til their fury RACES and now with.
out a weapon and without friend
they are to be turned loose on US.
Are you content to see your recon-
mendation treated with impunity,
your appeal ignored, and the we'll
fare of the race disregarded by
men who have bought their seats
In the Senate and now sell 30
many ounces of blood for 80 many
nuggets of silver. The impression
has gone abroad that we are not
stongly in favor of this bill-aud it
ls asserted that we would as soon
see 1t die as live. Gentlemen, if
you are in favor of it at all, you
must be strongly in favor OF it-it
is a bill that makes strong parti-
zans. You can write strong and
able articles in favor of protecting
industries from which a black man
is shut out as if he were a leper.
Have you nothing to say upon
this measure except a few gloomy
squibs to the effect that the SEN
ate is too cowardly to pass the bill?
If we would have a safe smooth
road to the ballot we must blast
our way through solid rock of
democratic opposition.

If there is one thing that the

Is false leadership. 1t is true that
