At the United States experimental STA

different kinds of grain has been harvested

includes, wheat, rye, oats, barley, Jerusa-

of what can be done if southwest Kansas

Three car loads of broom corn were
brought to Lakir, Kearney county, from
Grant county. Kansas, for railroad ship

Of the proposition, it carried; and that
the legislature at the coming session will
pass the necessary act fixing the time

The leaders OF the Democracy are al

to be persued by the party in legislative
matters. Ii seems TO be the intention to
inaugurate some of their reform q
methods in the coming session. the only
impeachment being the apprehension that
the senate and president will interfere
and prevent them. La this, however.
we apprehend the Democrats are need
lesslv concerned. There will be no
capiious interference along the lines
that seem to be demanded by the people
as expressed at the recent election. The
sooner the new ideas can be made opera
tive the sooner the effects and results be
known-the sooner will the experiments
be tested, and that is what the people
want.

ENGAGED as we are in political con-
fict of importance, it behooves the
average Afro-American to carefully con-
slider the issues dividing the two great
parties, namely Republican and Demo-
cratic, in order to cast his ballot intelli-
gently, November the 8th. 1t has been
an open question for some time past, as
to whether division of the colored
vote would or would not be conducive
to the best interests of the race, and
different opinions have been advanced
regarding the same. We, too, yielding
to the growing sentiment among our
people who have become dissatisfied, to
some extent caused by the indisposed
attitude the Republican party has
taken of late, have been thinking on
the advisability of this plan. and after
due and proper consideration, have
arrived to a conclusion. That there
are Democrats who are kindly disposed
toward the Negro, individually and
from business standpoint, we cannot
dispute, but this does not, we are
sorry to say, constitute the rank and
file of that party. Neither does it of
the Republican party. Yet, the latter,
compared with the former, offer the
greatest inducements and always have,
to the American Negro, and no colored
man, no matter how good his intentions
may be, can after, as before stated,
carefully studying the platforms of the
two parties, cast his vote with consist
ency for Democratic elector. 1t is a
well known fact that the Negro of the
South is smarting under oppression,
and the white men are forming separate
Republican clubs totally ignoring the
colored Republican. This we know, to
a certain extent, is caused, reasonably
speaking, by the Negro selling his vote
to the Democrats, not because it is the
Negro's desire to do so, but because he
knows that he will be almost compelled
tovote for them anyway, or be shot down
like dog, consequently believing that
self preservation is the first law OF
nature" he protects himself in two
