ALTON NEWS.

wish to give a short sketch of the
colored people of Alton. In 1868 the
colored people came here from Mis-
souri,. There were very few from
other parts. Their mode Of travel was
in flat boats and skiffs and without
money, food and clothing, but work
was plentiful and it was no hard task
for us. You could see 8 or 10 fiat
boats coming across the river at once.
The Missouri river ves then only S
miles below Alton, but now it is 8
miles. I need not say anything about
their costumes for they were all colOrs
and styles. At that time we were
countrybands, by our brothers who
claimed to be free. And we had a
time to get started out for living. But
some of those people to-day can ride
on our cars, boats and trains; same as
any other men. See how we were
fixed only few days ago. To-day
our colored citizens are paying taxes
on $75, 900 worth of property in the
city of Alton, and we are pressing on
ward and never shall forget Lovejoy,
Lincoln, Grant and the Republican
party. The grave of Lovejoy we pay
tribute of respect every year and hope
everybody will come and participate
with us this year and make it grander
than ever before. We will write a
letter on Lovejoy next

AN INTRODUCTION

to the through car service of the Wis
consin Central lines and Northern Pa
cific Railroad is unnecessary. Its ad-
vantages and conveniences have been
fully established. 1t is the only route
to the Pacific coast over which both
Pullman Vestibuled first-class and
Pullman Tourist Cars are operated
from Chicago via ST. Paul without
change. Through train leaves Chicago
every day at 10:45 p. m. The traveller
via this route passes through the most
picturesque, interesting and prosper
Gus belt OF country in the Western
World. There is scenery with most
striking contrasts that range from the
rolling prairie and the pine forest level
to the widest passes OF the widest
mountains in the world.
There is series of the nOblest cities,
towns and villages of every variety
and size, from the hamlet or the tiny
farm, upward; the richest mines in
the world: the greenest and most last
ing pasturage, the widest scenery on
the continent; canons as weird as a
nightmare; hills, SHOWS and peaks
startling in the magnificence of their
beauty, and a perfection of comfort in
travelling that has never been sur
passed. Fast train via the Wisconsin
Central lines for St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Ashland and Duluth leaves Chicago at
500 o. m. daily with Pullman Vesti-
buled Sleepers and the Central's %
famous dinning cars attached.

Rep ublican Meeting.

The meeting Of the Republican State
Central Committee at Chicago on last
Thursday, was notable gathering. 1t
had more than local significance as the
almost unanimous sentiment demon
strated that our Senator, Hon. S. M.
Cullom, is a presidential possibility,
and that Illinois Republicans will from
this, and until the meeting Of the Ma
tional Convention, work with earnest
and practical unanimity to secure his
nomination. Public attention is at pres
ent directed tow ard him, and the more
the question of President HarrisOn'S
successor is discussed, the more appar
ent it becomes that illinois, choice will
have more than a fighting chance in
the convention. His strength is conce-
ded on every hand, and the distinction
he has achieved, has been WOrthily
won-won by virtue Of hard patient la
bor in the interest of the people. Up
on this question, the CAPITAL is in ac-
cord with the great body Of Republic
ans Of the State, and voices the senti-
ments of Americans in every sec
tion Of our country.

IN Memory of slaves.

ESeveral weeks ago Rev DR.. Landrum,
while delivering a sermon at the Second
Baptist Church upon missions, stated
I that he thought it would be exceeding
ly fitting to erect a monument in Rich
mond to the memory of the cOlOred
slaves who so faithfully served their
masters during the war. DR.. Land
rum said that he had not as yet for
mulated his plans for the scheme. He
added that he hopes the monument
will not be one of marble or bronze,
but of brick. His idea is that the mem
orial should be an eleemOsynary insti-
tuition. He favors an old folks home.
At some time in the near future, If
the movement continues to Increase
in favor, he will call public meeting
of eX-slave-hOlders to consider the
propriety of organizing. 1t is expected
that the contributions will come not
only from Richmond people, but from
all the South
AS means of aiding the work DR..
Landrum would be glad to receive
from any ex-slaveholder or others in
cidents proving the fidelity of the
Negroes during the war. He wishes
TO use these narratives to increase the
interest in this philanthropic work.
DIR. Landrum believes the capital of
the late southern Confederacy is the
place tor the location of the cOlored
old folks home. He is enthusiastic
and believes the good work will go
on.

Even with sugar at 25 pounds for a
despondencv of the average free trade
orator when the Mckinley bill is al
luded to.
The Democrats have succeeded in
stealing the New York legislature in
both branches. 1T is the most colossal
political crime of the age committed
north of Mason and Dixon's line.
The Democrats need not worry about
troubles in the Republican party of
Illinois. There are none that will
have damaging consequences. Let
the Democrats look after the discords,
factions, quarrels and men with
knives in their own ranks.
Evidently the farmers are not being
very badly 'robbedn by the tariff,
Judging by the very satisfactory prices
they are receiving for farm produce,
and the very full packages of dry
goods, groceries and manufactured
wares they are carrying home these
days.
The consumption of raw cotton in
the United States has increased With
in thirteen years about IS per cent.
In England during the same period it
has increased but 25 per cent. The in
crease in cotton mills is just what the
Republican party is seeking to bring
about, for their development benefits
the cotton grower, the operative, the
farmer, the tradesman, every body,
except the foreign competitor, the inn
porter and the transportation compa-
MES.
Here and there may still be found
newspapers decrying the attempt to
develope the tin-plate industry. An
alize their editorials and it is clear that
the writers earnestly hope for the fail
ure of every factory undertaking this
work, in order that they may seem to
have been vindicated and be able to
say, II told you So" But the tin-plate
industry is not to be a failure, any
more than the steel-rail industry, or
the manufacture of plate-glass, has
been failure.
The necessities of life have not been
increased by the Mckinley bill. On
the contrary, many of them are lower
than a year ago Wages have been
well maintained, and less than the
usual percentage OF men ana WOIneH
who really want something to do are
living in enforced idleness. Most OF
the Industries of the Nation are in a
prosperous condition. Providence and
the Republican party are to be thanked
for the prosperity Of the people, and
both may be safely trusted in during
1892.
A country auctioneer, whose services
are in almost constant demand in
Northern Illinois, asserts that seventy
per cent of his sales during the autumn
of 1891 were for cash. A few years ago
as he says, it was often difficult to get
money enough out of a thousand dollar
farm auction to pay his commissions,
and it generally took some hours after
the sale closed to make out the notes
and obtain satisfactory signatures.
Now the farmers have the cash, and
often settle with the clerk as fast as
sales are made, SO that but half doz-
en- or dozen notes are given, and as a
rule these require no signature save
that of the maker. These facts indi-
cate an improved condition on the part
of the farmers, and show that the
tariff is not depressing them very Sc
verely.

"Io date all candidates for state
Offices have more or less opposition;
except Secretary Pearson. He, too
may have opposition in time, but
the fact is that any opponent OF his
for the position Of secretary of state
will consider we'll his chances be-
fore entering the race. Pearson has
made a most excellent secretary.
There is not department in the
state house that is conducted with
more care and intelligence than the
one presided over by him. This
will be taken into consideration by
any one proposing to seek the NOM
ination. 1t will undoubtedly be re-
quired of a candidate to show cause
why Secretary Pearson should be
removed and his admirably con.

The New Opera House.

That a New Opera House will be
built in the near future, is no lon
ger a question in doubt. Our best
citizens demand it, and no opposi
ton, from whatever source, can pre-.
vent it. What Sprinield wants, is
a Modern Opera House, with good
liberal management. Some people
urge that the present "play house"
is good enough for Springfield. If
they should visit Decatur, Jackson
willie, Peoria, Bloomington Or Cal
TO, they would not say SO. While
some argue that the present Opera
House is good enough, none will ad-
NIT that the location is good. What
we want, and must have, is, an op-
era house in business locality-not
in close proximity to Jail or saloon
where our wives and our daughters
may go, without entering half way
into saloon before discovering
their error. Since our former arti-
Gle, foreign capitalists have visited
our city, and have "taken in the sit
uation," but our desire is to have
the "Flower City" take her proper
place, as the Capitol City of Him
ois, in intelligence, and business en-
terprise: therefore we urge our busi-
ness men and capitalists to take the
iniatory in this laudable Home En-
terpirse.'
