Truth by a Northern Republican.

The Creston Qowa) Gazette, Re
publican paper, whose editor recently
spent some time in South Carolina,
says =
''This much only have 1 learned,
that in all these race conflicts it is very
difficult to get at the true status of af-
fairs, as both sides are generally far
from blameless. The negroes are not
angels by any means, and the white
men are not all saints. It is surprising
that they get along as well as they do.
Turn the case about and put Southern
negroes alongside of Northern white
men, and am certain that more con-
fiicts would occur than down here
The Southern white man and South
ern negro as rule seem to understand
each other pretty we'll the Northern
white man understands neither the
Southern negro nor Southern white
man,

Golden Wedding of the King and Queen
of Denmark,

Though for several days before there
were celebrations in Copenhagen in
honor of the golden wedding of the
King and Queen of Denmark, Thurs
day last was the actual anniversary of
the marriage. The city is magnificent
iy decorated and crowded with visitors.
Thursday all the chorus societies seren-
AIDED the King and Queen, after which
the royal couple, escorted by a grand
procession and accompanied by the
Car and his wife, the Prince of Wales
and his wife, the King and Queen of
Greece and other distinguished per-
sons, attended church. The various
municipal authorities afterward pre-
scented addresses to the King of Den
mark.

A Time to be Careful.

There is no concealing the fact, says
the Lynchburg Aduaace, that the Third
Party is a great force in the South, and
that it is poking mp its unwelcome head
into disagreeable prominence in this
very State and this very section. 1t is
timethe people were awaking to the
evils that this thing may lead to.
The Amherst NeaO Era is one of the
newspapers that realizes just what
would be the result and achievement
of any considerable Third Party move
ment in Southern State. The Nea0
Era says
"There is no denying the fact that
the third party sentiment is growing
rapidly and taking a hold upon the
masses. While we regret to see it, yet
it is true, and we apprehend danger in
the South. If there is anything on the
face of the earth that will break the
solid South it is the third party, and
therefore we regret to see it. We are
oppose to it for one great reason, and
that is, it will divide the white people
thereby giving us three parties, and of
the three the Republican or negro par
ty of the Sonth will be the strongest
and it would thus result in negro su-
premacy. For this particular reason
we can not take any third partyism in
ours and we shall oppose it by every
means at our disposal. We don't be-
lieve any white man would take any
stock in it were he to think for a mo-
ment."
In their. eargerness for real or imagi-
nary reforms, the farmers of the South
have need to be careful lest they jump
out of a fryingpan into fire. A Third
Party big enough to do anything,
would merely bring us Republican rule.
Any real reform desired would then be
further off than ever, not to mention
the evils of negro supremacy in the
South.

Negroes i'm the North.
The Alexandria San saws =

The Alexandria San says
We took occasion to remark in this
column Saturday that the white pee
pie of the South are the best friends of
the negro, statement which seems to
be borne out by the following clipping
from a dispatch in the New York
World, from Railway, New Jersey
"Real-estate agents in Railway re-
fuse to rent a decent house to colored
persons. Hence they have to seek old
places, some of them no better than
novels. The real-estate agents also
refuse to sell land in certain districts
to colored people.
About two years ago a cOlOred
woman from New Orleans, reputed to
be worth $500, 200 and once living here,
tried in vain to rent house. AT last
she gave it up and went back to her
Southern home"
The Northern people, or rather the
rabid Republicans of the North, are
continually trying to make the South
ern negro believe that he is deprived
of his rights in the South, and some
have gone so far as to urge him to COM
init violent deeds in revenge for this
deprivation, which, of course, is in
tended to make the poor darkeys be-
lieve that they are thoroughly in
sympathy with him, and thereby to
retain him in the Republican ranks
Nevertheless, it appears from the
above dispatch that when the negro
moves to the North, not only do white
men refuse him an opportunity to
make an honest living in any other
position than that of mental, but he
is unable to rent "a decent hOuse' to
live in, even though he may have the
money to pay for it. The negroes, the
more int lligent portion of them, are
beginning to realize that about all the
use the Northern Republicans have
for them, is to retain their votes, and
many of them will vote with their
true friends, the Southern white men,
in the coming election.

New York COlOred Men for Cleveland.

The colored citizens State democrat
ic organization, known as the New York
State Cleveland League, met at Albany
in convention Thursday afternoon.
Chairman J. G. Matthews, of the
committee on resolutions, reported the
platform, the substance of which fol-
lows.
"There are to-day in our country H.
100000 legal colored voters. We believe
that it is neither sound politics nor
good craftsmanship that they should
unalterably attach themselves to one
party, and base their demands on the
needs, wants and desires of the negro
rather than Of the citizen, and that the
accident of color should not control
the way in which men should vote"
The next plank deprecates the South
ern outrages, and charges them up to
the republican administration, saying:
"Under democratic administration
for four years peace and prosperity
prevailed, demonstrating the influence
which a democratic President could
rightfully exert"
The platform continues
''We believe that every citizen in
every section Of our country shall be
permitted to deposit his ballot accord
LIB w 1AIo SOhFlCUlOuo flhN HIVE ~
honestly counted; that colored chill
dren in the South should have equal
educational advantages in schools
maintained and supported by public
moneys. The democratic party is the
poor mans party; it is the exponent of
labor, which is our lot. We are con-
sumers. We have no place in the pro-
tected manufactures. The key to the
tariff that contains the solution of all
the problems is in the interest of la
bor.' To this the democratic party is
committed. The day of sycophancy
and trucking and sentimental politics
has passed. The demand of the hour
is for men; men with strong convic-
tions; men to develop an educational
citizenship; new men with new ideas
suited to new era"
A resolution indorsing the February
convention was lost by vote of ayes
~, noes 43, after aA angry and spirited
discussion lasting three-d uarters of an
hour.
The platform was then adopted.
A resolution OF Mr., Matthews protest
ing against the present national ad
ministration for failing to give any rep
resentation to the colored people Of
America upon the Worlds Fair nation
al board was adopted.

Decay of the TeeIn

Arises from various causes, but princi-
pally it may be attributed to early
neglect or the indiscriminate use of
tooth powders and pastes, which give
a momentary whiteness to the teeth
while they corrode the enamel. The
timely use of that delicate aromatic
toothwash, Fragrant SOZODCNT, will
speedily arrest the progress of decay,
harden the gums, and impart de-
lightful fragrance to the breath. 1t
removes those ravages which people
sustain in their teeth from the use of
sweet and acid articles.

A NEW COUNCIL,
Speculation as to the Coming Mu-
nicipal Election.

A Question as TO whether or Not
NIessrs. PhIpPs and TaIcOtt viii
Hold over as COuncIImen--First
Difficulty over the New Law.
In spite of the seeming absorption Of in
terest in state and national politics there is
quite an undercurrent of speculation as to
the probable outcome of the approaching
municipal election.
1t will occur in about six weeks, but the
usual excitement that precedes an event of
this kind in Olympia will not become
comfortably warm until after November s.
A new council will probably be elected,
or, more properly speaking, the people in
certain wards will go throughout the for
mality of re-electing some Of the present
members OF the. municipal assembly, while
others will send new men.
1t was wisely intended at the beginning
of things to have certain council
men hold over, but owing to technical
objections at the last election a question
has been raised on this point. I. H. Phipps,
and Q. r. TalcOtt were the new members,
and according to the established precedent,
would hold their places two years.
1t was claimed by certain voters that the
election of these gentlemen as cOuncilmen
had not been conducted in accordance
with the provisions of the new election
law-the one over which there has been so
much discussion. 1t seems that the ballots
used exhibited the names of the various
candidates all under one heading. The
question as to the legality Of the election
was not raised until they presented them
selves for qualification. There was very
little controversy about 1t at the time, but
to prevent stOppage of the municipal
governmental machinery, Messrs. Marr
and Murphy, the outgoing councilmen,
formally resigned and Messrs Phipps and
Ialcott were appointed in their places
This occurred in December. Later the
entire council went through the formality
of resignation and re-qualified in
January. 1t is claimed by some that
Messrs. Phipps and Talcott were merely
appointed for the current year. Others
maintain that they qualified under the
! election and that they will therefore hold
oyer. Chas III. Springer was elected coun-
| Gilman at the same time, but he has since
resigned and his place filled by appoint
ment. T. ]. McBratney was elected coun-
cilman-at-large. The term of councilman
at-large is one year.
The matter has been referred to City
Attorney o. V. Linn, who will shortly de-
liver an opinion upon the point in contro-
yersy.
It is understood that Messrs. Phipps and
Talcott will resign, no matter how the city
attorney rules

The strange young woman who caused
the commotion in Little Rock early yester-

reason for such conduct was that she did
not want to eat anything. She started

that night with man who gave his name
as Brown. Monday she started out in
search Of the jumping off place of the

night reaching Little Rock Yesterday
morning and Gate City during the fore
noon.
Judge Robinson ordered that she be
turned over to the superior court of Pierce
county, and if that Tribunal refused. to re-
ceive her, that she should be taken to
SteilacOOm.
She was kept over night by Mrs. Margaret
Shaser, and this morning taken to Tacoma.
on the Multnomah by Special Deputy
NOrthup, who was accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Davis, of Gate City.
Saturday a notice of her disappearance
appeared in the Tacoma Ledger. Her
parents kept her at home in hopes of effect
ing cure by medical treatment. She ran
away two months ago but was caught at
She is rather stout, five feet four inches in
height, q years of age, and good looking.
When found in Gate City she was covered
with coal dust and had neither hat nor

her with additional clothing.
