A Colorsd Bishops Political Views.

a COlOF6Q FO4lI4Cdl
Bishop J. NJ Brown. of the African
Methodist church, has written an open let
ter to his race in which he concisely sets
forth his views as to the coiorsd mans duty
in this campaign. The bishops position as
a leader, together with the fact that he is a
cultured and travelled man, should, and
probably will, give his uttsrances especial
weight with his people. He cannot be sus-
pected OF any sinister motive in what he
says; his high church Office places him
above suspicion Of partisAnship for personal
gain.
The bishop thinks the time has passed for
colored men, as q race, to. cast their vote
solidly for one party. In the division Of
their vote lies their power as electors. So
long, he says, as any one party is able to
rely on the colored vote being cast for it, so
long will that party disregard the
claims Of the colored voters 70 con-
sideration. The history of the Repub-
lican party shows this to be true.
That party has grown TO look upon
the negro vote as its own, under any and
all circumstances. Consequently it never
consults the wishes of the colored people,
docs not respect them as a political factor
never gives them important offices; in short,
never thinks OF them except at election
times. The remedy is to break away from
old party servitude and vote for the best
men. whose principles are nearest
in accord with the opinions
OF the voter, and who may be
depended upon TO give the race exact JUS
ticet Numbers Of intelligent and influential
colored men have done this already, and
every day others are following their
example. Blind voting at the bidding Of
selfish leaders will not do. Each man must
think for himself and follow his convio-
lions.
Referring to the records OF the adminis>
trations Of Mr.. Cleveland and Gen. Harri-
son, Bishop Brown calls attention to the
fact that when Mr.. Cleveland appointed
register Of deeds of Washington he insisted
that the place should be filed by a colored
man, and. although the Senate was against
him, he carried his point. On the other
hand. the bishop points TO the Crum case,
In which a oolored man was appointed post
master at Charleston, but, because the
Senate objected, President Harrison with-
drew mis- name and let the matter drop.
Other cases somewhat similar are also cited,
and from them all, and from the records
and utteranoes of the candidates, the
bishop draws the. conclusion that it is the
duty Of the oolored man who wishes to adj
vance the interests Of bis race to vote for
Mr.. Cleveland. In his hands the rights of
the negro would be absolutely safe. Or, il
the colored voter cannot consistently vote
for Mr.. Cleveland, then let him scratch his
ticket, or stay away from The polls, says
the bishop. To vote for Harrison would be
TO vote for the continuance of the political
serfdom in which the Republican party has
placed the colored man.
Such sentiments as these, coming from 80
prominent source. cannot fail to have
profound effect upon thinking colored
voters -------------.-

The year 1898 is likely to be memorable as
the great Columbus souvenir year. We are
to have souvenir half dollars, souvenir
postage stamps, souvenir badges, souvenir
models of the caravel Santa Maria and
souvenirs In every other shape that ingen-
ious yankees can think Of. Columbus dis
covery is TO be celebrated and his memory
perpetuated by all Of them, of course. His like
ness will be emblazoned on everything that
can possibly be made to hold it. and where
it is not practicable to work in picture.
some other device will be used to keep the
great discoverer constantly In the minds
eve. And, remarkable to relate, every
practicab be souvenir suggestion put forward,
SO far, has proved popular. The age is
souvenir mad. The people do not need any
freak half dollars, but the souvenir idea
caught them and the COINS will be forth
coming at the rate of about 81 25 apiece
They do not need any pictorial history of
the discovery in the shape of postage
stamps, but the stamps will be on sale at
the possoffices by Jan. /. 1898, it is thought
There is one souvenir idea, however, that
has never before been suggested to and
urged upon the patriotic people, the
carrying out of which would cause the
name Of the immortal Genoan to be a house
hold word for years to come, even when
most OF the other centennial souvenirs
were lost or forgotten. Let an asso-
citation be formed to urged upon parents
the appropriateness of giving a souvenir
name to any offspring with which they
may be blessed during 1898, the boys to be
called Christopher Columbus and the girls
Columbia. The name is elastic enough to
provide for twins, even though both be
males, or if there be one Of each sex. There
are numerous changes that might be rung
on this idea, which Is at the service of the
souvenir cranks.

a 100000 husband.

The American woman who pays $10o, 900
for a foreign husband makes bad bargain,
whether he has a title TO Throw in as bootn
or not Husbands that are OF any account
at all, whether they be English OF yankee,
cost nothing. They are to be had for the
asking, and will do the asking themsel YES.
Mrs. Maggie, Of Cheyenne, Wyo., once had
a square kind Of yankee husband who
cost her nothing. But after he died leaving
her a wealthy aud blooming young widow,
just rising 40, she concluded that she would
go into the market and buy an imported
husband to her taste; a real cute chap that
wore a monocle and discarded the letter ''h. "
At a fashionable health resort she met the
kind Of man she thought she would like TO
own. He was angular, but he was English
DE was a horse fancier and a "high-roller,"
in the common acceptance of that term, but
he wore London clothes and was SO delight
fully boorish that the widow couldn't resist
him. He had no title, it is true, but he was
the correspondent OF London illustrated
journal, 80 he said.
negotiations were very shortly opened
between the widow and the fly young man.
He had anticipated her desire to purchase
and decided upon a figure to charge. When
che asked his price he named 100000. 1t
was q risky piece Of business to bull the
matrimonial market TO such an extent,
with no title to back him up. But he won.
The marriage took place and the BRIDE
now Mrs. Charles A. White, paid over S25,-
900 cash on account.
For short while matters went on swim
mingly. Then Mr. White took it into his
head to collect the balance Of the purchase
money and as much more as he could. The
lady did not happen to have $75, 900 in read
cash in her purse at the time, so White
drew a note for that amount, forced her to
mortgage property to secure it, and raised
the money on the note. Besides which he
stuck some $4,000 of her bonds in his in.
side pocket, "embezzled" $4,000 Of her
cash, kidnapped her young son, and started
for England by way Of New York. The
boy was probably taken along to induce che
mother to raise more cash for her husband
when needed.
But White never reached England. The
ex-widow may have been weak and foolish
when she bought him, but she got over it
quickly when he misappropriated her boy
Half dozen kilograms were sent flying
from Cheyenne to New York, and when the
fugitive reached there he was quickly
nabbed and taken to the Tombs
When he gets back to Wyoming it is safe
to say that he will wish he had never seen
an American wife Of his own.

Boston Women at the Polls

From the Providence Journal
In their rubbers and goloshes,
In their wind-waved mackintoshes,
Their umbrellas dripping floods upon the head,
OF Boston men;
The female voters rallied,
Not mothers daughter dallied;
They came up wet but dauntless, straight tc
the polling pen.
Stately maidens, aged lasses,
Glaring chilly through their glasses,
Scanned the tickets most severely; never pa ssed
the time of day;
Tighter drew their chest. protectors,
Grimly glared at the inspectors,
Brandished their umbrellas proudly, grandy
coldly stalked away.
Not one of them that wondered
If mayhap she hadn't Numbered,
II her vote was trauscendental and beyond dis
pute or doubt;
Yet as home they were returning
With their newest triumph burning
How many dozen of them knew what was tn e
fight about?
Happy matrons wisest lasses,
Better than the Browning classes,
The clinic of the mind cure, or the esoteric soul
foods
It is to be a voter.
A civilization motor,
A cheyenne Of Boston over whom the Goldfish
broods.

The republican prevaricators are hard at
work on an attempt to prove that Pat Egan
was attacked by the democratic press because
be is an Irishman. Nothing could possibly
be more ridiculous. Egan's recall from
Chile was advised because he had made him
self objectionable to the Chilean govern
ment and his continued presence there, 1t
was believed. would be injurious to the in
terests Of this country. His record as poll
ticisn is particularly vulnerable, and any
attacks made upon him were upon the indi-
vidusl, not upon the Irishman. This fact,
however, is so we'll known that it hardly
needs to be repeated.
