Why is it we wonder. that just as
soon rs Negro quits the Republican
party he always makes the statement
that the Negroes are beginning to
think? Is it because he that is leaving
the party is SO minded that he
thinks that bv his joining either the
Democratic or Populist parties he will
be able to better the condition of his
race of people? We answer no; when
ever You see colored man leave the
Republican party the betterment Of the
condition Of his race does not for a
single instaut bother his mind; all he
has in view and all he cares for is to
get his head into the crib and thereby
benefit himself and no one else Such
III en- as these are the individuals who
must loudly proclaim their interest in
the welfare of the race. and are always
claiming to be true race men. They are
hypOcrites and are not to be trusted
with the welfare or representation of
the race; in fact they are traitors to
their race, and the sooner the party to
which the majority of the race clings is
rid of them the better off will the race
be.

There is no reason why we as a race
should not prosper. if we will silnpl,
make the best Of the chances that are
placed before US, and learn how to put
our money after earning it in the
bottom of the pocket instead of squan
dering it in finery and luxuries of all
kinds. The great secret of individual
success. is diligence, economy and
integrity.
The Negroes have their destiny in their
own hands just the same as the whites.

Mrs. John Morrow has returned from

for several DAYS.
If other railroads would follow the
example set by the Ft wayne and
Lakeshcre road in employing colored
men to fill the place of Strikeks we
predict that they will not be put to the
Inconvenience of having traffic on
their lines interfered with because some
one OF some organization has an i'm
aginaY grievance to settle. The Negro
is Il Deaceable citizen and the Negro
mechanic or laborer is always satisfied
with the wages he gets, matters not
how small. and besides. he is man
in whom his employer can put the ut

A singular Accident

A most singular accident occurred
Yesterday at the house of Frank Dom
ahoo, in Moline, where Fred Smith,
son of Sam l.. Smith, was assisting in
tearing down summer kitchen.
The shed had been taken down, when
Fred noticed what appeared to be a
harmless piece of tin lying on one of
the old sills. He struck it with his
hammer to knock it off, when q start
ling explosion occurred. A piece of
the bomb, or whatever it was.
crashed through window of ii e
next house. Fred's face was filed
with charge of what appeared to be
fine pieces of sandstone, causing him
great pain. DR.. kerns attended him
and picked out several pieces of the
stone from his eyes, several having
struck the eyeballs. but fortunately
did not penetrate them. There were
no indications of powder burns, and
the nature of the explosion and cause
OF its presence on the sill are both a
mystery.

Celtic wit and jolly humor are the
chief embodiments of '.Finnigan's
Ball. +" and where can you find the
man or woman with spark of life
that does not enjoy amusement of
this kind? The author selects the
adventures of two Irishmen as the
hub which his spokes of mirth ex-
tend from. Connor Casey, joyial
son Of Erin. and Timothy Finnigan,
his landlord, who owns and controls
most all of the property on Finnigan
boulevard, become fast friends, and
while Finnigan has no wife to say
nay to any Of his numerous hilarious
pleasure trips. his friend Casey has
hard time making it clear to Mrs.
Casey just why he did not get home
sooner. OF course this tickles Fin
Digan and he does not miss an oppor-
tunity to let Casey know it. Finally
Casey puts up job on Finnigan.
which furnishes the story for the
play. Charlie Murray and Ollie
Mack, two well known, rollicking
Irish comedians head the organiza-
ton. and in the parts of Connor
Casey and Timothy Finnigan they
are in their element. To create
laughter without using the least ac-
tion or dialogue to offend, is their
aim, and from the way they have
succeeded in the past, it is easy to
guess the result of their engagement
here. No farce comedy is complete
without good singing, fine dancing
and interesting novelties. and the
clever people assisting Murray &
Mack are loaded with surprises to
spring on our people.
