HE WILL GET THERE.

Richmond Planet The Negro will
''get there" no matter how you abuse
him
The white folks wouldn't let him be
clerk in their stores, so he started his
own store, and became boss and clerk
too.
The white folks wouldn't let him be
cigarette and cigar makers in their fac
tories, so he started one of his own, and
has become the maker, the collector
too.
The white folks wouldn't let him
have leading part in their agricultu-
raj fairs so he rented the white folks
grounds and had fair of his own.
IF he didn't have any prize cows nor
2-10 horses, he put the best he had on
exhibition and won the plaudits of his
white neighbors.
The white folks celebrated the dec
laration of independence. The Negro
found that the Emancipation Procla-
nation was more important to him and
SO proceeded to make arrangements to
celebrate it every year.
The white folks e~tablished banks,
had book keepers, cashiers and presi-
dents. The Negro wanted to be book
keeper and cashier in the white mans
banks, with hankering after the
presidency some time in the future.
The white man laughed at his pre-
tensions, and told himit couldn't be.
So the Negro established his own
banks and got all ts,a positions he had
asked Of the whits: man, with the hon
or and salary, too.
The white folks established insur-
ance, loan and tJust companies. They
would let the Negro put money in but
denied him the privilege of holding any
of the offices.
The Negro got miffed and organized
insurance companies of his own. He
had his own board of managers. presi-
dents, agents, etc., and is apparently
happy.
The white folks have their own ma
chine shops. The Negro wants to get
inside to learn to be machinists. They
Won't let him and soon we expect to
hear of him having place of that
kind in full blast with black boys
learning to do what the white folks
had declined to teach him at their
shops, Regardless of what you may
say the Negro is progressing along all
of the line and will measure arms with
his white brother bye and bye

A WRONG IDEA.

Some person or persons, are cir
cuIating it around that the Capital
is bias in it's reports and dealings
with facts, and that we charge o.e
denomination for advertisements
and the other we do not, That is
false, any church or society who
bring or send notices where there
is an admission fee, we charge and
so far as our religious belief is con-
cerned, we have as much respect
for one denomination as we have
for another. Recognizing the fact
that it is an Unjust to ourselt and
our credit, we are compelled to
have all money in advance for no
tees pertaining to all celebrations,
and concerts: ,:.wh ch includes church
notices where an admission fee is
charged. The Capital would have
enough money in its treasury to bny
cylinder press had the money ow-
ed us by committees and ETC., who
promise to pay after the entertain
| ment is over been paid. Our peo-
pie must understand that y,u must
have money to make money with.
This includes all religious sects
and everybody else; we have nc
special friends in this line. Any
christian or any one who charges
the publisher of the Capital with
such views. are wrong. 1t is oul
aim to give the people the news bu'
when there is money in the affair
we need some Of it too. Our pur
poses are: to serve God, tell the
truth and make money; to any 9th
er purpose we would be false to oul
selves and to our Maker. We viii
not'go to an extreme as some OF oul
ministers do when they say that i
colored man votes against a par
ty he is false to his race and t.
himself; that is to an extreme AM
does not need comment.

AIfOeld the Socialist.

The Chicago Herald, a paper as bitter
ly democratic as the St. Louis Republic,
said on the day before the democratic
state convention:
ssIt is urged in behalf of Judge Alt
geld that he is popular among the Ger
mans and that he is exceptionally
strong in Cook county. Neither of these
assertions is true. All the facts which
bear upon them at all go to prove the
contrary. He was candidate for con-
gress against Adams in 1884 in the
Fourth district, then German strong
hold Blaine defeated Cleveland in the
district by only 1900 votes. The ma
iority for Adams over Altgeld was 5000.
The same district in 1890 elected dem
ocrat over Adams.
''19S6 Altgeld was candidate for one
of the judgeships of the superior court
of Cook county. Owing to the public
excitement prevailing at that time, as
a result of the anarchistic uprising and
the massacre of policemen in Haymar-
ket square, only those candidates fo1
Judge of the superior court who were
indorsed by the socialists were success
full Altgeld, who was thus indorsed
and elected, received next to the lowest
number of votes among those chosen
running ten thousand behind Ehe can
didate having the highest number.
''This is the proper estimate of the
man as candidate, and notwithstand
ing his barrel exposes his vulnera
bility to the republicans, who this fal
will teach him that all is not golt
[geldl that glitters.'"

Adlai as a Jumper.

"Gen." Stevenson Grated nearly three
columns in length on the glorious
Fourth at Peoria. He dwelt with
unctuous eloquence on the mighty men
of the past who laid the foundations SO
broad and deep for the republic Then
at one mighty bound he rushes ahead
and asks: What of the future?" Ut
terly ignoring little affair thirty years
ago, without which there would have
been no future for the republic Thanks
to the union armies, ignored by the or
ator, the republic still lives.
He was introduced as the ''next vice
president of the United States" by Nick
Worthington, who nominated him as
Seen" Stevenson at the Chicago con-
vention. The title of general was
dropped on the Fourth for obvious rea-
sons

the fight shows that his fears of the
result were well grounded. A
white man has been thrashed by a
negro on southern soil. 1t is an in
suit to the Democratic party and
an outrage On the south. 1t shows
the dangers of the "force bill" In a
way Chas. A. Dana has never
thought of, for it teaches that when
it comes to force a negro is little
better than white man. Great

Democratic Love for Soldiers.

'This convention hereby renews the
expression of appreciation of the patriot
ism of the soldiers and sailors of the
union in the war for it's preservation,
and we favor just and liberal pensions
for all disabled union soldiers" Thus
reads portion of the late democratic
national convention; declaration in
comparison with which the kiss of Judas
was absolute honesty.
Renewed appreciation" indeed. Re-
newed since when? These same sol
diers and sailors for whom such love
and tender regard is expressed, are the
very same parties who were abused and
vilified by democratic convention in
1864, wherein fiery orators called
them "cut-throats' and ''Lincoln hire
1ings." These soldiers and sailors
are the same against whose
honest claims for pensions President
Cleveland left the presidential chair,
and voluntarily assumed the role OF
attorney and pettifogger; arguing,
with encyclopedia and imagination,
against these claims en- masse, and
then, with a calmness worth of the
headsman Stevenson in beheading
republican postmasters, he climbed
back into the presidential chair for
wholesale veto purposes. To put
Cleveland on platform of that
character smacks of what "Nasby''
would have called ''sarkasm." A vote
of thanks-at this late date-to the
soldiers and sailors, for preserving
IL
sought to destroy, and which nearly all
democrats north were willing should be
destroyed, reminds one of the boy
who having been thrashed severely by
an indulgent, but in the end stern,
parent closed the interview with
''Papa, / thank YOU"

VILE THERE BE AN "UPRIsING." /"

The New Orleans Athletic Club
may be responsible for another ''up-
rising" of ''the best people in
that Southern city. The indigna-
ton may indeed become an cpl
dem1c in the South and the fear OF
cholera will be swallowed up in
negrophobia. The Athletic Club
has been reckless in arranging its
big pugilistic mills and its desire
for good fighting material was SO
forgettul of southern sensitiveness
that it allowed Negro to meet a
white man on equal footing in the
prize ring. Had Mr.. Dixon shown
his appreciation of this compliment
by allowing the white man, Skelly,
to send him to grass ia the first
round and completely knock him
out, the Athletic Club would have
had the excuse that it had b 'en Civ
ing a demonstration Of the inferior
ity of the black race.
But men in the ring get excited
and forget courtesies, and the re-
ports says that "Skelly was even

The Colored Champion.

George Dixon, batam-weight
champion of the world, defeated a
"pug" named Jack Skelly before
the Olympic Club in New Orleans
last Tuesday evening in eight
rounds. The sympathy of the
white people was with Skelly, the
white man, but the betting was in
favor of Dixon at 8 to l. He has
never lost battle and has whipped
the champions of England, Austria
