RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Passed by the Waco Liquor Deal
eps Association.

A special meeting Of the Waco
Liquor Dealers Association No.
IS was held last night to hear the
report of a committee appointed
to draft resolutions on the death
of highly esteemed member, the
late John A. Blom. The follow
ing was presented and adopted
unanimously by rising vote:
We your committee appointed
to draft resolutions on the death
of our associate and friend, John
A. Blom, respectfully submit the
following:
John A. Blom, though a native
Of Norway, gave Texas the land
of his adoption, his entire allegi-
ance. But while he loved his ma
tive land, his love for his adopted
country and her free institutions
was as true and as far-reaching as
that of her most adopted son.
His character was one full of sim
cerity, unaffected simplicity, de-
termination of purpose and homes
ty of intent. His kindness was
proverbial. Nothing pleased him
more than to be able to perform
a good act, and to do it in his
own unassuming way without
noise or self acclaim. The lean
hand of hunger and the white
lips of famine never appealed to
him in vain. He was near his God
in season and out of season by be-
ing near sorrow, suffering ard dis
tress. Then who shall doubt wher
the summons came he was pre-,
pared for the great journey. AL
in all, he lived an honorable anc
industrious life, therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death o
Brother Blom this association ha.
sustained the loss ola good mem
Der, his family a devoted friend
and his adopted state a patriotic
citizen.
Resolved, That as a mark o
respect to his memory this asso.
citation publish a copy of these
resolutions and that copy o
same be furnished his widow
and another to his mother, ano
that our secretary communicate
these resolutions to them.
Resolved, Further, That these
resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of this association.

CoIored Republicans Protest.

The following is the leading editorial
in the Delaware Itoiligit, of Whining
ton, the colored peoples organ. Com
ment is unnecessary. 1t explains itself ;
" If the Republican political bosses
knew enough to come in out OF the
rain, they could see the philosophy OF
abandoning their usual methods OF
manipulating the colored vote. They
have debauched our suffrage, demoTa-
lized our manhood, and SO completely
disgraced our race in this State Dy
their nefarious habits of bribing, buy
ing and selling the worthless class OF
colored men, until our respectable citi-
zens Of both races are thoroughly dis
usted. The Tpilight has been ON
crusade against these damaging actions
for the past six years. When colored
men utterly refuse to cooperate with
the Republican party because the
leaders degrade the whole colored pop
ulation by voting the ticket under the
influence of intoxicating liquors, armed
with concealed deadly weapons they
will have wrought tangible piece OF
essential work. This is warning for
them that run the political mac hine
to read the hand writing on the wall. "

A Good Showing for the Canal.

The annual meeting of the Chesa-
peake & Delaware Canal Company was
held in Philadelphia, monday, when
Joseph E. Dillingham; was reelected
president. The annual report shows
that the net revenue was Sis, ,525.55,
which fell short of meeting all fixed
charges by the sum of $11 ,621.95. The
years net revenue was $780,
124.06. The falling off occurred dur
ing the first six months, being due to
the loss of coal trade through railroad
competition. During the latter half OF
the year, however. the acquisition of
business from many new sources ena-
bled the management to almost entire
ly regain lost ground.
