PAYMENT FOR SLAVES,
A Ooiored Man Runnias for Congress on
Strange Platform.

A Ooiored Man Running for Congress on a
Strange Platform.
RALEIGH, N. c., February Sin to-
days issue Of his newspaper, the G ,zetta,
published here, Editor John II. William
son, colored, announces himsalf as a
candidate for Congress. He intimated
last week that he would be candidate.
Williamson says his platform will be
compensation for the ex -slaves as pro-
posed by President Lincoln, who, at the
time he made his famous proposition,
admitted chat they were the lawful
properly Of those claiming to be their
masters, and proposed to pay $500 each
for them, liberats them and stop the
war.
Williamson declares that letters from
all parts of the country commend his
views. He says as war measure the
constitutional amendment prohibiting
the compensation of the owners of slaves
was well enough, but it is now time to
wipe ont the causes which divide the
Two sections OF the union, land, in my
opinion" he writes, "there is no more
just solution of this greatest of all the
Negro problem than the payment of
$500 for such slaves according to the
census Of 1860, with the interest to date
at 8 per cent. If we love the Union,
both North and South, as we often pro-
claim, pay this debt. If the dividing
line hetween the North and the South is
to be wiped ont, pay for the slaves. As
former slave, favor this and shall
endeaYor % bring it about There will
be no bad Llood between the races, and
the negro viii no longer be the bone of
contention. AS further mark of ius
tice propose that the money appropria-
ted be equally divided between the for
meP master and slave, or their heirs at
law"

How Europe Sees us.

A st0ry, which European newspapers
seem to think will amuse their readers,
is going the rounds that few years ago
a man, name unknown or not divulged,
was suddenly elevated to the post of
secretary of the United States navy"
He went to see the launching of one of
the ffrst-ironclads. When everything
had been explained he deemed it neces-
sary to say something, but found his
mind blank. At last he suggested that
"the darned thing seemed hollow" and
relapsed into silence.-San Francisco
Argonaut.

She Sent HfmaNote.

OF course she was provoked when he
passed her on the street without stop
ping to speak to her, says the Chicago
Tribune. He lifted his hat. it is true
but she recalled the time when he would
have turned and walked several blocks
with her, no matter how pressing his
business. Hadn't they been sweetheaIts
few years beforeP Why should the
fact that they had not met for three
years so change him? Ought he not to
be the more pleased to see her?
The more she thought of It the more
she felt he should have paid her some
little attention, if on y for the sake of
old times, and when she reached home
she was so angry that she resolved to
make him repent his slight.
The next day he received the follow
ing:
"MR. FILKINs--T believe you have a
photograph of me one that gave you
several years ago in moment of girlish
folly. | have since regretted that was
SO thoughtlcss in such matters. / will
esteem it a favor if you will return the
photograph at you earliest convenience.

MILLIONS STARVING.
Deplorable State of Affairs in Far Oft
Russia.

Russia.
A Washington dispatch of Monday
says: In response to many sympathetic
enquiries and proffers of aid received
from friends in the United States, the de-
partment of state has received from Min
lister Smith, at ST. Petersburg, an Interes-
Gng report of the actual conditions of
stricken districts of Russia, prepared
from the evidence of eye witnesses and
most trustworthy sources, of which the
following is an epitome.
THE TERRITORY AFFECTED.
The territory affected by the drought
comprises thirteen provinces of Europe
an Russia, where the fam ne is general.
In five other provinces the famine pr
walls in part. Tie first thirteen provin-
ces in this area are one third greater
than all Germany They cover an area
equal to the states OF Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New ork, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and kentucky
all together. The population is about
equal to 27,000,ovo. The live other prov
inces above named, if included in com
parison, would equal the combined area
Of Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Illinois, North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska. A;tosas ana Aaif Of Ohio.
The total population OF these last live
provinces is nearly double ,haJ OF the
eleven states last named. This yast sec
ton is agric llturai, ana the richest and
ordinarily the most truiCul soil OF Rus
