The annual conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church has just
closed It's seventy first session in New York.
Bishop Hood. of North Carolina, presiding.
In his address to the conference the Bishop
eaid:
We may congratulate ourselves upon the fact
that we have enjoyed three years of an admin
~istratiOn which has conducted the affairs OF gov
eminent with a view to the happiness and pros
perity of the entire people. President Harrt-
sons ad administration has been the best, In
many respects. that this government has ever
enjoyed. The President has extraordinary
executive ability. In the early part of
his administration there was a feeling In some
that he W as not friendly toward the colored peO-
pie. 1 did not share that feeling. He has fully
met my expectations. 1t is the hope of the great
mass of good men that he will succeed himself.
There would he no doubt on this point If all the
black voters In all parts of the country could
vote and have their votes counted according TO
their wish. The Outrages OF which we are called
upon to complain at this time are an indication
OF the desperate means that will be employed In
I q coming campaign. The number of black
martyrs is always greater during a PRESIDENT l
year. The fiends In human shape h we CON-
menced their work ear > this year, the purpose
Is to intimldate the black man and keep him
from the polls.

While the debts of counties have in
creased more than so per cent. during
the decade, the debts of cities were not
much larger in 1890 than in 1880. Large
ly because of the increase of the State
debt during the decade. the per capita
indebtedness of Indiana in 1890 was
ell Is, against 1928 in 1854 few cents
more in 1890 than it was in Illinois,
which, however, shows a decline since
1880 of over 81 per capita. In 1890 the
per capita debt of Indiana, State and
local. was $6.9S below the average of
the country, but in 1880 it was $1S.16
below. That is, Indiana has increased
its State and local per capita debt while
the aggregate debts of all the States of
that character have been decreased.

II WON'T DO 1T :"

Not very long ago we overheard a
smart young girl say to her mother, in
sharp tones, that she wouldn't do Ger
tain thing that she was requested to do
to stay at home and take up some por-
ton Of the work of the domestic con-
earn.
And she didn't. She was on the street
while the old mother, her hands more
than full. toiled alone with heart full
Of pain at the disobedient child.
Time went on. The girl knew more
of the street. the masher, the clandes-
tine meeting. and all that attends a
life of disObsdience and self. Willed
ruin.
Then came an awakening in which
there was only bitterness and disgrace
for the girl who was always wilfully
disobedient--and that home would have
been happier had death occurred that
would have counted that child as its
victim.
The number of girls and young wom-
en- who are going hellwards because
they will not obey their dear old moth
ers is unfortunately too many. They
are now skipping along a path that
leads only to shame, despair, disgrace
damnation. The warnings of good
men and women avail nothing. They
know 1t all; are Smart enough" for all
purposes,-and yet death grins behind
them. sure Of its harvest
Oh girls, look before you If you
are among those trotting the streets,
take warningI You stand in the same
danger that others have met before you,
and who have gone on to their death
in name ahd character and in every
thing worth having. Keep off the
streets as lOafer, away from those who
do so, and be saved from the path of
shame

To Qua FAITHFUL LLowERs:-
We are gratifed that the house of rep
resentatiVes has adjourned. Our ma
jority of I45 was rather unwieldy, but
we are pleased to announce that while
we did not repeal the tariff nor enact
free silver, our men made q record on
both sides Of every question, which will
enable US to suit all localities without
embarrassment. We shall issue final
instruction later concerning the great
reduction ofsppropriations which were
promised. If you are not able to ex-
plain the matter, address this Office.
Again we want to warn yon not to be
too particular about what our new re-
Cruits shall believe-let them believe
what they please so long as they vote
our ticket. Our greatest accomplish.
ments have often been against v hat we
believed. Use the high wages paid at
Homestead TO pTejudics the farmers
against protection-and howl about the
Pinkertons to prejudice the wage
worker. We regret to state that Gov
ernor BOies Is not recovering from his
defeat a. speedily as We had hoped, but
1t is expected that he will lHd awhere
he was 81" by chicken shooting time.
Governor Hill's support can be depend
cd upon. Tammany has never yet

One of our local statisticiers digs
out and commends this item to free
traders: America is essentially ma
tiOn of homes, protection one OF the
cardinal facts of our American system
of government under this system OF
home getting thrives. Hundreds OF
thousands of Amel lean wage workers
own the homes the live in. Under our
protective system pauperism finds its
minimum representation. There were
73,O45 paupers in aims houses in the
United States in the census year and
there were 24225 outdoor paupsrs OF
poor supported in their own homes OF
in private families at public expense.
Compare these returns with Great
Britain, In 1890 the year our census was
taken the Cfficial returns of the British
Parliament show 975. 500 paupsrs in
free trade England. Wales, Scotland
and Ireland. against 97,270 in the
United States. The population of the
United Kingdom last year was return.
ed 37,740285; the population of the
United States 100000. There is food
here for reflection In protective Amer
lea, 81. .270 paupers In population of
100000 in free trade Engl and, Ireland.

WHAT CHEER FIRE.

$500 GONE UP IN SMOKE THIS MORN
ING.
An extra from the What Cheer
Patriot office gives the particulars of a
fire that broke out there this Saturday
morning, at l o'clock, in the Palace
Drug Store, in the Sherbondy block.
The FIRE department was on hand, but
the water gave out, and engine had to
go to the creek. By that time the fire
had got away from the boys. "By the
time the hose was throwing water
again the fire had completely enVeloped
the Sherbondy block and had caught
across the street on Griffith's drug store
and the Masonic Hall. The power of
the fire company was then well direct
cd on the Palace but it was impossible
to prevent the fire from passing to the
rear, In a short time the rear of this
building and the Robinson meat mark
ct and the Lawson BaBarr were on fire.
The fronts of the buildings prevented
the hose from acting on the fire. At
last all three buildings had to be
abandoned and a stand was made at
the Ba1nes brick block, the ends of
to reach the rear. The great heat and
shortness OF hose prevented this, so the
fire spread and at last reached the ware
room OF Baines Bros. which was few
feet behind the main building. This
was covered with metal which hinder
ed the progress of the flames, but did
not prevent them. The heat here was

had subdued, moved their work to the
vicinity of Dollar Bros. shop to prevent
further spreading there, but soon had
to return and only got back in the
niche or time to save the Baines block
by the most courageous work. The sky
lights of Wheeler's art gallery fell in
and ready men on the inside of the
building drenched everything with
water and clung TO the thing herOically.
Thus by combined efforts it was saved
and the progress of the destroyer was
here stopped.
