NEITHER learning. nor philosophy,

NEITHER learning, nor philosophy,
nor advantages of any kind, hold a
monopoly Of correct Judgment as to
the right and wrong of the everyday
affairs of life. He who, with ordi-
nary intelligence and sincere de-
sire to do right, trusts to MS own in
stinctive ideas Of what is right, is
far more likely to decide wisely and
to act justly than one who uses his
brains to weave subtle arguments, to
find specious excuses, evasions and
contradictions, or to discover some
supposed conflict of duties which
shakes his previous firm convictions

THE citizens of Three Rivers, in

that the Canucks need at the hands

the secondary treatment to follow

The Boston Restaurant.

A first class restaurant, run in first
class order at I'll Third Street, by Al
bert Smith and wife. al" Smith is the
man who was defeated in the muni-
cipal election last spring-not by his
own people, however, but by the white
Republicans of his ward Being tired
of politics and realizing that Negroes
must branch out in business. Mr.. Smith
has opened very fine restaurant, where
both ladies and gentlemen can be
served. 1t is not race restaurant, for
any respectable person can be accom-
modated. The colored people should
patronize Mr.. Smith, and keep away
from these one-horse eating houses,
that don't want to serve us, because we
are colored. Mr. Smith deserves your
patronage, so let us rally to him.

Why We Change the Name of Our Paper.
The circulation of this journal has
been largely increased, not only in the
State OF Wisconsin, but throughout the
entire Northwest. Every day sub
scriptions are being sent in from all
parts of the North and West, and in
order to give it wider scope, we feel
that we are only reciprocating when
we name the WISCONSIN AFRo-AMERI-
CAN the NORTH WESTERN RECORDER.
We are also proud to state that we are
part of the grand old African Metho-
dist denomination, which is second to
no body of negro men in the world,
and since RECORDER in this portion
of the country will be of great benefit
to our church and people, we so
start. This step has met the approval
of Bishop H. M. Turner, Bishop John
NJ. Brown, Bishop A. W. Wayman,
Bishop B. T. Tanner, S. T. Mitchell,
President of Wilberforce College; G. S.
Smith, President of S. S. Union at Nash

of Evanston, and many other men of
brains and foresight. We appeal to the
peo pie of the entire Northwest to re-
gard this Journal as your own, rally
both with your money and brains, and
help us build up the only causes'by
which our naonIe will he elevated.

TH1s world is not made for q tomb

THIS world Is not made for tomb,
but garden. You are to be seed,
not a death. Plant yourself, and
you will sprout; bury yourself, and
you can only decay. For a dead op-
portunity there is no resurrection.
The only enjoyment, the only use to
be attained in this world, must be
attained on the wing. Each day
brings its own benefit; but 1t has
none to spare. What escapes to-day
is escaped forever. Tomorrow has
no overflow to atone for the lost yes

When in the southern part of the
United States, we noticed that hundreds
of young colored women, who desired
employment as domestics, could not
secure the same. We also notice that
up in this portion of the country and,
especially. here in Milwaukee, there is
a great demand for colored servant

Sierra County advocate. [volume] (Kingston, N.M.) 1884-1960, 1892-12-23

A man claiming to bs John Mil
Ter OF Ell Paso, Tex, very systsm-
atically swindled local merchants
of Deming during the past week in
the amount of more than $500.
About ten days ago the alleged Mil
ler made his appearance in the city
and at once began looking about
for q favorable business locstion
for q furniture store, taking good
care that everybody should learn OF
his intentions. In the course Of =
few days he selected the large brick
building on Silver avenue and i'm
mediately put several men at work
making extensive repairs. Satur-
day he cashed several checks drawn
on the El Paso National bank lii IA
vor OF himself and signed by s. r..
Frsudenthsl. He thon told inter-
ested parties that he had boon call
cd to El Paso on important business,
and accepted several commissions
for the purchase Of Christmas goods
some paying cash In advances.
When the checks were sent to El
Paso for collection, it was learned
that they were evidently forgeriss
and came back with the usual pro-
test foes attached. Besides the
checks the workmsn employed on
the building are out their time and
labor and the dealers their supplies
The checks range from S75 down.
1t is not thought that $500 will COW
or the amount of the swindle. The
next stranger who comes to Dem
ing for the purpose of establishing
furniture store will not have 80
easy = road as Miller.

Behind the army Of 876,O63

OF about half = million claimants
waiting for the machinery of the
pension bureau to "sdjudicste'
their claims under existing laws;
and the pension bureau is muster
ing them in at tho rate OF two hun

hind the reserve force Of actual ap-
plicants whose claims are on file at
Washington, there is still another
reserve, an uncounted army walt
ing only for the passage OF laws OK

The time has come for : change

ifestly swollen with fraudulent and
unworthy pensioners. II tho roll
cannot be purified and the annual
expenditure cut down to the thirty

THE PENSION DEVIL FISH.

IHE PENSlON DE VII Fish.
Charles A. Dana, OF the New
York Sun, writes OF the pension
octopus which ssems destined to
bankrupt our government:
"The commissioners lowest es-
timato Of the appropriation required
for next year is $685. 100000.
Com petent judges believe that the
fifty third congress will be called
upon to vote pension appropriations
exceeding two hundred millions An
nually.
These figures s.sgger the imagi-
nation. No other evil which has
grown out of republican rule is COM
parable to this. No scandal tha,
has ever stained the government 0!
any country has eaualled this stu
pendous plunder Of the taxpayers
in tho name Of gratitude to the ma
tons defenders Thirty ysari
after the Gloss OF the civil war vi
shall be paying a million pensions
or as many pensions as there wer'
soldiers in tho Union army at any
one time during the war. We shal
be paying, on account OF = wel
closed moro than . quarter OF oen
tury ago a sum Of money thrs'
times greater than the total annua
expenditure of tho United State
government at the time when th
war began.
But this Is not the whole story

about now. 1t Is a fact, however,
that tho salter Is abroad in the land
and at Cripple Greek especially is
he plying his nefarious schemes.
Not 30 very long ago a Pueblo syn
dicate were artistically duped and
lost first payment of several thous-
and dollars. They discovered the
cheat before the second payment
was due and dropped the whole
business, making the outcry and
pocketing their chsgrin as best
they might. Another attempt was
made two weeks ago to take in .
Pueblo syndicate, but this happily
failed. The hole had been plenti-
fully dosed with chloride of gold
and the dump doctored in a similar
manner. The ASSAYS obtained from
the somewhat unpromising looking
rock were something fabulous, but
the representatives. of the would be
purchasers had the good senss to
sink the hole few feet deeper and
take a sample from the bottom.
The resulting assay demonstrated
Tho job that had been put up and
he deal fell through.

GOULD AS A TANNER.

| From the New York World
Gould's career is intensely drama
tic, and one of the most interesting
chapters is that relating to his eX-
perence as q tanner. While survey
ing in the interior of tho State he
became acquainted with Zadoc
Pratt.
i. is to bs regretted that Mr..
Gould WAS not 30 full and explicit
in his account of this part Of his
career a. he was in his statement
of his. earlier years. Zadoc Pratt
was = famous man in his days
man OF ability, push and ambl-
ton. He was not only the biggest
tanner in the country, but he also
was = power In the politics of the
State. He served ten years in Con-
gress, and at least one OF his speech
ss attracted widespread attention.
He was one OF the earliest advocates
Of cheap postage, and he moved the
esta blishment OF tho Bureau OF
Statistics, which has since develop
cd into the Department of the In
terror. He also moved the first sur
yey of the Pacific Railroad line.
When he ceased his Prattvillc tan
nery in 1S45 he estimated that in
twsnty-years he had used 10000
cords Of bark and wood, had en-
ployed 10000 men, had cleared
$4,000 acres Of land and tanned
over one million sides of sole-l -lesth-
sr. He was, however, nearly sew
enty years old when he interested
himself in Gonld. The latter was
fortunate in obtaining the conf
dence of this man. The history OF
his association with Pratt, and lat
or with Leupp, 10 not contained in
legislative and law reports, as are
other portions of Gould,s career,
but there are several ciroumstan-
tial accounts oxtaLt based on the
testimony of eye-witnessss, some
of whom may be still living.
Pratt was doubtless taken with
young Gould's snap and energy,
and considered him just the kind
of material to use in pushing new
enterprise Pratt furnished all the
capita, and Gould conducted the
active operations. The capital of
the firm was $4,000, and the tan
merry at Gouldsbsro, Pa.,-for tho
place WAS named after Gould-be-
came the biggest concern of its kind
in the country. Gould threw the
whole energy of bis being into the
enter prise. As he has related, he
cut with his own hand the first tree.
He carried a portable sawm'll with
him into the woods, and in = day or
two blacksmiih's shop was srect-
ed. Gould slept and ate In that
shop until the tannery was complet-
ed. Pratt made occasional visits
to Gouldsboro, but the business was
left practically In Gould's hands,
and it grew rapidly. But after q
while Mr.. Pratt became dissstis-
fed with the condition Of affairs

The story OF the selection o. tbs
poison alleged to have been used in
the execution Of the Homestead
plot, wss learned from an authora-
tive source. As has been stated
the design was not to cause the
death OF any OF the non-union men,
but to produce such an epidemic
Of sicknesses as to create excitement
among them. A prolonged discus
sion ensusd among the conspirators
a. to the kind OF poison to be used
and it was decided to consult Others.
They wanted to disable pugi-
list so that he could not win fight
which he was to engage in. They
were asked il they wanted the drug
to act qsickly or otherwise. 1t was
stated that they preferred soms
thing that would take effect gradua-
lily, so as not to arouse suspicious.
They were told that preparation
could be made that would gradually
undermine the strength and il pres
erved it would knock the victim In
three or four days. The formu.
lous OF the preparation was obtain
ell, and it is said the ingredients
were found in the samples of coffee
and soup which we're snalyzed at

MADISON. SOUTH DAKOTA. MONDAY,

Dorers at the Duquesne mills OF the Car
Aegie Steel company to the number of
750 have gone out in sympathy with the
Homestead men.
The strike was surprise, because nm
til recently the Duquesne has been anon
union mill, but within the past two
weeks the Amalga,nated association or
ganized lodge here, and the strike is
said to be backed by that powerful
labor organization. A large meeting
was held In the evening at which ad-
dresses were made to the strikers by
some Of the Amalgamated officials. The
men claim that the Duquesne Is one of
the most important mills owned by the
Carnegie company, and that its shut
down viii be a serious blow to the firm.
