courage, to stay the sword of oppression,

tended friends
Think of party for whom the cOlorcd
man has fertilized the country with his
blood in assisting to cement this great
Union, repudating him when he meets
him in convention assembled because he
demands his civil and political rights
Aware OF these facts we should be baser
than the willing slaves of the first epoch
OF American slavery, and as servile as the
party slaves Of to-day WHO, dashed into
fury will massacre their own race, should
we consent to the dlctation of any man or
party. Let us remember them at the
ballot box and let us fail not to inilict the
retribution they so justly deserve. Let us
agitate, even as other classes agitate when
their rights and wishes are disregarded.
"lIe who submits in silence 10 an in
jury may be avenged by righteous
heaven, but he has little hope from man "
Let us, therefore, keep the wrongs under
which we labor before the public until an
awakening sense of right and justice on
all sides shall work out II remedy.
We may as well expire cOntending for
liberty, aye, and far better than base Sub
mission TO degrading slavery and political
s0phistry and usurpation. In the struggle
for independence our blood mingled with

common cause.
When our flag was insulted on the high
seas and naturalizcd citizens outraged, we
sprang promptly to our country's call in
war which followed.
We did not stop to consider the fact that,
although Americans we were not citizensi
that although soldiers we were not free
men.
In the war of the rebellion, after eman-
cipation, we responded by thousands to
the country's defence; and on the high
seas, in tent and camp and rifle parapets,
the prejudice and caste were forgotten in
the heat of conflict, and the cause OF seces.
sion disappeared beneath the bodies Of
white and black alike.
In the light of the facts we demand. in
the name of citizenship conferred by the
organic law of the land, in the name Of
humanity and Christian brotherhood, in
the name of those living and in the name
Of posterity the same treatment accorded
the other nationulities of our common

Surgical Operation by Veterinarian
That Makes u Unique Record in This
City.
There is daily report in this city Of
the marked success Of local physicians
in their operations for appendicitis. In
another direction of surgical operation
is the recent peculiarly successful work
of DIR. L. z. Ewes.
About six weeks ago large and
valuable work horse belonging to Com
tractor Michael Donohoe of Fourteenth
and Union streets had one of its fore
legs broken above the knee by kick
from its neighboring stable companion
The proposition was to shoot the poor
brute as is usual in such cases, for no
one ever thought of trying to cure from
such an accident Some friends of Mr..
Donohoe's suggested the idea and
Veterinary Surgeon Ewes was asked to
try 10 save the animal.
He did not hesitate, but Immediately
put the horse in slings and cased the leg
in plaster and splints. The wonderful
result is that to-day the large bone is
thoroughly and healthily knit. DR.. Ewes
pronounces 1t as sure a cure as can be.
If the horse, which is now able to stand
firmly and with ease on its broken leg,
be given a little care and favor, in
another month or so it will be as sound
in limb as any other horse.
This is no doubt something unique IN
surgery annals and something quite
| creditable to the local veterinarian. Mr.
Donohoe will put the horse out on grass
in few days and let him wander
around SO as to have every opportunity
for convalcscence. Fortunately the ami
NAL is of a quiet, good. natured disposi
faion. This good behavior of the horst
while in slings, DR.. Ewes says, was on,
reason for the success of the operation

miscreant distigured the handsome new
dwelling of Joseph Levi, which is being
erected by William Fisher on Bradford
street, some time Thursday night. The
malicious person took can of lamp
black mixed with oil and smcared it all
over the light buff brick front of the
building. The black cannot be removed
and the bricks will have to be taken out.
The smeared places extend across the
entire front and it is feared that the
greater part of the wall will have to be
torn down and rebuilt. The can and
brush were found near the building but
there is no clue as to who is the guilty
person.

GASHED uITn 4 KNIFE.

Patrick DouglIerty and John wifskofski
Have Quarrel and the Former is
Severely Injured.
John Wifskofski, 4 Pole, was given
hearing in municipal court last Nom
day on the charge of assault with intent
to murder Patrick Dougherty at the fac
tory of the American Leather Co. The
testimony proved that there was no at
tempted murder and that the Pole had
merely acted in self defence.
On Friday morning last Dougherty
accused Wifskofski with interfering with
his work by moving some of the skins
which he had placed in vat in the fac
tory. The Pole denied the accusation,
but Dongherty insisted it was true, and
struck the Pole with a stick he held in
his hand. To defend himself Wifskofski
made lunge at Dougherty with II
shaving knife, cutting his left arm
severely. Doherty retaliated by having
the Pole arrested. Judge Ball dismissed
the case.
