Oh. nv eye is growing weary, and my locks

Called by the Preachers.

COLUMBIA. June 12.-The following
address. making call for a conven-
ton OF the negroes Of the State to be
held in this city. was issued yesterday
by the committee from the Colored
Ministerial Union, prior to the
news of the reversal OF Judge COTS
decision in the registration matter.
The convention will, however, doubt
less be held anyway as the programme
outlined for the convention is not in
terfered with by the decision of the
United States Court Of Appeals:
To the Colored Citizens: There are
times in the affairs of men when 81
lence is golden. But to remain silent
under the present crisis, our position
may be wrongly interpreted. There
fore, we. the committee of seven ap
pointed by the citizens of Columbia,
and vicinity in May 1895, call a con-
ference of the leading colored men Of
the State to meet in the city Of Colum
bia on July 10. at II o'clock noon, for
the purpose of considering the follow
ing questions and to prepare and issue
an address to the people of this State
and the United States setting forth our
position in the present trouble in the
state of South Carolina.
/. Shall we manifest any interest in
the Constitutional convention, and if
50 to what extent?
,. Will we vote for any delegates to
tie Constitution. Convention and on
what conditions?
,. What course will we pursue in
thc event of such an election9
Therefor, the citizens of the several
counties in the State are asked to can
vass carefully and meet att their county
seats on JULY, and elect their best
men as delegates to represent them
III this conference in proportion to the
number OF representative in the Gen
eral Assembly.
We recommed that the election be
Independent Of politics and that they
work for the best interests of the peo-
pie and the State.
The meeting may be called by any
free citizen or by as many as may be
practical.

sHush. She is stirring. She will
awake to consciousness" said the doc
tor, as he bent over the protrate form
of the sleeper who, in a moment after,
opened her eyes, looked inquiringly
and instant into his, and whispered
Have I been asleep7 | was so
tired. When Julia was sleeping so
sweetly, must have lost myself. ;,
a pleasant little smile was on the
doctors face, when he said to himself
Eyes, my dear. You lost yourself
for just three weeks.
Willie came in and pressed his lips
to hers, so pale and thin. And then
gradually the truth was given to her:
Beside the suffering Julia she had
stayed, despite all the entreaties and
commands Of her brother and the doc
tor. And when the fearful crisis had
passed, the noble girls strength failed
and she too was stricken with the same
fearful fever. Long days and nights
Willie and the nurse watched beside
her couch, and Julia Garnet feebly
hovered near, praying-for she could
pray then-that the noble, suffering
girl might live.
May I come in, DOCTOR" asked a
voice at the door, so low and sweet,
that Dora looked up with surprise as,
in answer to the permission, Julia
came to her side-Julia, whose sharp
eyes were softened, and glowed with a
new and holy light, as she bent over
and whispered:
Dear Dora. Good, noble, forgiv-
ing Dora.
SYou do not hate me now, Julia
Oh,I'v had such happy dreams.
Il love you, Dora. But there is
one who loves you better than l..
Your future life shall be one long
happy dream. Look at me, Dora.
Thank God, the wicked girl you used
to know died in that dreadful fever,
and you nursed back to life another,
a better one, whose aim is now only
to prove her gratitude to God and
you. Harry knows all. He has for
given me, and is waiting Row to gain
your permission to come to you.
And you you love him. No, no;

I have learned to love justice better
than him. l can return him to his

Our Next Council.

The present council stands before
the public in good esteem. The coun.
Gil is clean from any faint of jobbery
-or corruption. 1t is strong in its
record of prudence and economy. 1t
has been conservative and yet not un-
mindful of the public needs.
Instead of rushing hastily into the
matter of bonding the town for needed
improvement, it has been cool and
collected and allowed the people to
fully consider the importance of the
question. No agitation nor clamor
nor augmentation was encouraged in
behalf of a vote, for the issuing Of
bonds. The matter was left to the
calm, considerate Judgement Of, the peo.
pie. The almost unanimous vote Of
the, citizens is. proof that. the quiet
course pursued was the sensible one,
and the vote can not be charged up to
the excitement Of a, moment, the mis-
apprehension of public good, the
scheme of a ring, the plot of a dema :
gogue. -
The vote is the. expression of tn.
cool deliberate judgement Of Logan
upon practical business proposition.

when woman's rights are concerned,
the women know their business about
as well as the men, TO say the least
of it.
This we know as matter OF fact
that woman's influence dominate
society. 1t is her devotion that sus-
talns the church, her anexiety that
that maintains the school. No man
can be an efficient minister without
the support. and cooperation of the
women, and no man should he a
school officer or school teacher
whom the women will not endorse.
We think that it IS the experience of
most men that the concern they take
in school matters is mostly inspired
and. mainly directed by the mother
of his children,
If our good women see proper to
exercise the right the law gives them
t, vote at the spring election,
certainly no man, a candidate, no
man interested in the schools can
have any reason to object.

GREAT MEN?
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A New York paper bewails the
iaat that out of all this struggle there
arises no "Calhoun, or Benton, OF
Sumner, or Seward" to step to the
front and lead his colleagues and the
country out of the labarinth of diff.
ticulties into which ambitious per.
sonality seems to have got it. But
the lack Of f.ah!e men is not the great
crying need. Congress has men: 81
sufficient brain force to grasp and
conquer any of the questions that
come up, some of them of intense
Importance.
The startling feature of the situa-
ton is that instead of abandoning
themselves to the prompt dictation
Of good, hard, horse sense. these
men with great ability are given to
the planning. each for himself, of
some plan that will send his name
laundering down the ages as the
central attraction in bright con
stellation of great lights. What is
needed is more patriotism and less
personality. We, have the grca,
men, plenty of them. 1t is the dis.
play of greatness along the line OF
f4oge of ,cQuptrNand sonndisbusiness
sense that We arc waiting for. :?

A Mistake.

We notice that our back,woods
exchanges announce that the Demo.
cratic party is dead.i
We would feel badly if there was
grain of truth in the assertion, for
then the system of free government,
a government of the people, by the
people and for the people would be
no more.
So long as free government con-
tlnues to exist there will be a party
pledged to so direct the affairs of
state as to procure the greatest good
to the greatest number, and that
party will be the Democratic party.
:; It may be. beaten at the polls,
even overwhelmed, it may be be-
trayed by self constituted leaders,
butthe principles are as indestruct-
able as the forces of nature and be-
.neffcent as the genial warmth of the
sun,in spring,
it will gain renew the
contest betrayed, it will purge'i itself
Of traitors and press onward in its
course to certain victory.

LOGAN, o, Feb. 90, 1895: Editor
SENTINEL-There is considerable
discussion going on about town in
regard to the election of trustees for
our proposed Water works, and
quite number of names for the
position have already been sng-
gested. The position is an important
one, and our peple ought consider
well. A large amount Of tho peoples
money will be expended. The men
for the position should be men who
have business capacities, and ought
therefore to be chosen and elected
irrespective Of their politics. es;
pecially should they be. men who
would be above suspicion of enya,
ging in defaulling. -.
The writer hereof would therefore
suggest that a conven ton be held
irrespective of party politics, foFthe
nomination of three men irrespect-
I'VE of their political appelations.

than in the case of our esteemed
contemporaries of Logan. Mr.. pursell

the Republican Prohibitionist, is as
bitter as gall and wormwood to Dem

its principles, but Dr.. Dollison, pro-
prietor of the Ocllison Democrat is
taffy, sugar taffy to Democrats, par
ticularly Democrats with patronage
at their disposal. The proprietors

Now that the present council stands
approved before the public, now
that before US is the most important
public expenditure we have ever

water works scheme, Until the, work
has been finished Itwas the homeiy

This council has considered the
water works question in all its bear
ings. They have become posted, so
to speak, upon this matter. They
kaow, ifnot all, more about it, than
any new men can possibly know.
And so knowing the business, having
partly done the business, wouldn't it
be bad policy to swap in the middle Of
the stream.
The SENTINEL is not making candi-
dates. 1t is not favoring this or that
man as against another, but is putting
a suggestion of common sense to a
business proposition.

Senator Sherman is something of
a peace maker. The other day when
Senator Harris of Tennessee and
Senator Mitchell of Oregon had
their little spat, the senior Ohio
Senator was the first on the ground
to make an amicable adjustment of
the differences. He did not like to
see the dignity of the senate disturb
ed.
The other day, before the Senate
was called to order, Senator Brice
entered and a page came up with an
autograph album and asked for his
name. He willingly complied and
as he was about to sign on the top
of the sheet the page asked him to

ing the top of the paper. "Senator
Sherman, answered the boy. 400;
l didn't know but it was a promis-
sorry note," responded Senator Brice,
writing his name, but the joke was
lost on the boy.
Another boy came up and handed
out card to get the autograph and
Senator Brice complied. The boy
was making off when the Senator
quickly called him back. ''Hold on!
let me put. Ohio on that card.
Somebody might think it was Villas" :"
The Wisconsin Senator is as diff.
ferent,sfrom Senator Brice as it is
possible for q man to be, and those
who heard the remark appreciated
the humor of the suggestion. Mr..
Rrice would not like to be taken for
Mr.. Villas, on any occasion.
While many people are proclaim

AHigh Compliment.

The Ironton Register, one of the
most influential Republican papers in
Southern Ohio, in speaking of Senator
Brice pays him this handsome compli-
ment, all the more appreciated be-
cause it is one of the ablest Republi-
can papers Of the state.
Speaking of a recent interview
the Register embodies the views Of
Senator Brice as follows
Speaking of the great changes
going on in the commercial and in.
dustrial world, he says the losses fall
mostly on certificate wealth-that is,
the stocks held in various enterprises
of production and transportation.
Many of these are antiquated or have
developed inherent weakness. Many
in the logic of events have declined in
value to little more than nothing.
Millions have thus been sunk. Science
and art are the only sure things.
Luxury is always in demand, and
will sell where wheat and iron will
lie in dead market. Cheap produc-
ton is fast destroying the old forms
of wealth. The better is growing

are transmitted into blessings to hu-

fix a value.

centrate it. Here is an observation:
"There are s1,6OO,ooO,OOO of the
poor in the savings banks, while with
few exceptions the rich are unable to
earn dividends"
Referring to education in Ohio, he
said the greatest impulse and aid We
ever had was when the school library
system was maintained. Then the
boys read such books as P!utarchs
Lives which inspired them to duty and
effort.
These are but few hints in the
great interview. If Gath himself
has not been elusive, it shows that
Brice is broad and vigorous thinker
