An Exclamation Demanded.

The Beacn of the 18th inst, quot
ing the interview of the men in this
city in regard to the Populist Wo-
man Suffrage plank in their plat
form; credits Mr.. c, f. Potts, the
wholesale druggist, and a wOuld-be
Republican, using the following lam
guage:
II have not had time to read it. |
do not favor woman sutferage be-
cause the women do not want 1t.
The great mass of women do not want
to vote, The republican party made
a mistake when it conferred the un-
qualified right on the negro to vote"
1t is to the last sentence in the in
tervieW we call attention. How re-
markably strange is it to any mind
that possesses a thin BILE full Of brains
that this man Potts, could have the
unmitigated gall, prompted by pre-
JUDGED heart of a race that has been
both loyal and true to the republican
party and the government, to use
such language. horace has produc-
ed better soldiers and none better
citizens. Fortunately this self-ap-
pointed cuss Potts is not the party
nor do we charge the party with it
but will try to paste this in our hats
and remember him in the future.

A heavy storm passed over the
city last Monday afternoon, doing
very little damage. After blowing
down few signs, destroying few
cottonwood trees, giving us a good
shower of rain, it passed on to ouI
neighbor towns and began to deal
out hail stones, bursted clouds, sand
storms and young cyclones, and did
not let upuntil Hutchinson and Well

SIGNS THE TIMES
SHELTON FRENCH.


We live in peculiar aggressive age
Of thought. The problems of life have
never more perpeXed men than those of
to-day. Men with abated breath and
uplifted hands stand in consternation-
fearful that some new and unforeseen
crisis may befall them. Thoughtful
minds are absol bed in the solution of
many intricate and ecOnimic questions.
Tariff reform, civil serAice reform, COIN
age of silver, sutferage, Kiug alcohol,
Coxie's army and the social question are
demanding All immediate and careful So
luton. We who wear the shadow of
midnight upon our brow while interest
ed in the solution Of all, are particularly
concerned in the latter.
The negro has but four props upon
which he may hope to lean, viz:
Wealth, education, confidence i'll self
ami each other, confidence in God.
Few Of us at present lean on all these
props; yet all can now lean upon at least
two. Whenever the masses Of the race
lean on all, then we may hope to scale
the mountain Of prejudice, perch upon
our banner upon the ruins of caste and
back in a free, serene atmosphere to
which prescription dare not hope to as
Dire. In that condition we can con-
scientiously sing,
''My country tits of thee,
Glorious land of liberty"
When fewer of our young men are
found boisterously loafing upon our
streets, and more attending school ana
learning trades; when more of our girls
read less novels, and study music, cook
ING and sewing; when our older men
will give helping hand to the younger.
then we shall be prepared to receive the
highest type of civilization and human
progress.
For the past five years the eyes of the
world, especially of America, have been
turned toward the Negro. Many are the
things that have been said concerning

tween labor and capital blessing to the
Negro.
Until one year ago, negro was not al
lowed to stop in Weir City, Kans. To-
day 5000 live there and work in the
mines. The same may be said of the
Carnegie steel works, of the miners III
Illinois, etc. We are not unknown quan-
titles in the equation of life, but impor-
tant factors.
During the present panic-a none
tary stringency withou parallel Ill the
annals of our government-the eyes OF
the white men are turned toward profit
and loss, and toward each Other-leav-
ING the negro for tie time being, alone,
to work out his own destiny. | believe
