which the government could never have been

willingness to free our Legislation and our cleo

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Bishop II. NJ.
Turner, of Atlanta, Ga, was asked Tues
day evening what incentive the colored peo-
pie had TO support the Democratic party in
the late election of that state He rep.ed
that there was no special incentive far as
the Democratic party was concerned. A
large number of the colored people did vote
for the reelection of Governor Northen
ticket, and indeed many voted for hin
alone. Governor Northen the first
southern governor, said the bishop, who
had openly spoken but against lynching ne
groes and had dared to offer "A reward for
the capture OF that class of inhuman brutes
who were making our country a hiss and q
by-word throughout the globe.
Doesn't Get ''Onto'' the Home Rule Idea
Inasmuch as the position taken by the
governor has been productive of good re-
suits many colored people felt that their
votes were due him under the circum-
stances. This great nation is too weak,
worthless, or mean to put down these mid
night mobs who break jails and murder
innocent men by hundreds. and if God has
put it in the heart of one Christian Demo-
cratic governor to try to stem the torrent
of blood and slaughter he shall have my
vote" Bishop Turner says he still favors
African emigration for such of his people
as have souls and backbones. He sees no
manhood fuCure here for the negro; tat
the colored people will never be respected
until they found nation and intelligent,y
run the same.

THIS is A PRETTY SLICK STORY,
Which Is Very Proper,as 1t Has to DO with
an Eel.

SCRANTON, p, Oct. 13-Ezra 5. Coon
came near losing his life while catching
eels from the shore of pond in Pleasant
Mount township. He and Sam Brown
were fishing some distance from one
another, and while Brown was batting his
hook he saw Coon struggling in the grass
as though in fit. He ran to his com
panion and found that he was being choked
by an eel that had gone down his throat
six or seven inches. Brown grabbed
the eel. but it was slippery
that he could not hold it and he got his
hands full of sand, seized it again, and
tugged away until he pulled it out. The
eel weighed seven pounds. When Coon
came to he said that the eel coilcd itself
around his right arm while he was taking
the hook out of its mouth, and that when
he went to bite it on the head to Kill il. as
he had done to hundreds of cells before, it
gave a lunge and drove its head so far
down his throat that he became helpless at
