the wrong bronco. Let me ask this
young female a question. Young
woman he says to Tucson Jennie, be
you fully informed as to whose neck
you're hangin' top
It's Dawes, amt ito she says,
lookin' all fearful in his face to make
shore.
"Enright an the rest of us don't say
nothin', but jest looks at each other.
Tut fiushes up an looks pleased both
at once, but jest the same he puts his
arms around her like the dead game
man he is.
'Whatll you have, gents?' Enright
says at last, quite thoughtful. The
drinks is on me, barkeep.' ...
Excuse me, says Doc Poets, but
as the author of this yere plot, takes
it the p'isen is on me. Barkeep, set
out all your bottles ....
"'Gents,' says Jack Moore, I'm as
peaceful man as ever jingled spur
or pulled gun in Wolfville, but as
reflects on the active part 1 takes in
this yere play, won't be responsible
for results if any man comes between
me an payin' for these drinks. Bar
keep, I'm dom this myself
"Well, it's hard encomeratin' just
how many drinks we do have. Jim
Wallace throws away the wagon cover
an comes over from the New York
store an stands in with us. 1t gets to
be orgy.
"'Of course it's all right says En-
right: the camp wins with Tut in
stead of Wallace, that's all. 1t illus
trates one of them beautiful character

Wallace, to say nothin' of twenty
Others as besieges an beleagues this
yere female for six weeks an she scorns
'em. Yere's Tut, who amt sayin' a
word, don't bat an eye, nor wag a
year, an she grabs him. 1t is sech
uncertainties, gents, as makes the love
| OF a woman valuable
"'You should have asked me- says
Faro Nell, who comes IN right then an
rounds up right close to Cherokee.
Why, 1 could tell you two weeks age

could see it. Why, she's been feedin
of him twice as good grub as she does
anybody else '"-Washington Post.

HE HAD HARD LUCK.
Unfeeling Policeman wouldn't Let Him
Even Commit Suicide.

Even Commit Suicide.
Going down to Staten Island the
other day was a seedy-genteel young
man with lonesome expression of
countenance, who had sat near the rail-
ing on the upper deck, suddenly began
removing his shoes and outer gar
| ments.
OF course the people around him
were excited, but he gave them no at
tention. When he was about ready to
leap over one of the ferry policemen
came sauntering up and said: gg
You, there, put on your coat and
vest - rN
The young man donned the articles
mentioned. and the officer continued:
NOW put on your shoes F
In a couple of minutes the shoes
were on, and then the officer said:
NOW, you sit down back there and
stay there, or I'll heas,e you over

"Of course he can, but you don't want

have gone to all this fussing and yet
haven't jumped in. You make me tired,
you dol"
do you really intend to commit sui
cide?'' asked of the young man few
minutes later.
Certainly intend tot" he replied.
"But change your mind every time,
eh?"
Yes. People begin to coax and ar

hands me quarter, and so l decide to
live on. Hang that bloke of an officer.
He's beat me out of at least two big
dollars right here, and hurt my feel

The Dlspensary Law Enioinea.

Judge Coz, at Clarksburg, w. ", on
motion OF Caldwell & Pope, of New
perry signed an order restraining the
D~ispeEsary authorities OF this State
enfeecihg the law as it affects in
terstate commerce until the I'd, MAY.
AT that time the hearing OF the motion
to make the injunction permanent will
be q at Columbia. In the mean
while all persons SO desiring are at lib
erty to order into the State any liquors
they desire to import. Railroads, ex-
press companies and other common car
riers are at liberty to bring them in.
OF course, should the Injunction be dis
solved indictments would follow; but,
as In the case OF a lynching it is an
awkward business indicting a county
or the whole State. 1t will devolve
upon the Attorney General to pre-
sent the State. AS the present Cover
nor is the author of the law he is pre-
sumed to know more about it than any
body else, but it would DO out of all re-
gard for dignity for the Governor to 90
Into a scramble like that of q common
law wrangle in the Court House, and
somebody else must be employed to as
sistthe Attorney General.
But seriously, (for ourselves speak
ing) we think the injunction ought to
stand. In the end the feature of the
law. interfering with interstate com
merce will never be made to hold wa
ter and 1t might as well be sustained
now as hereafter. In the present case,
Dunbar, OF N%ewberry, is the Plaintiff,
u there must be q strong pecuniary
backing behind him as litigation in
the Federal Courts requires to ''put

THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS.

The question has been asked why
some negroes fail in business.
1t is because they have no conf.
aence in themselves and very lit
tie in their people.
The white man in business has an
art in satisfying the taste of his GUS
TONERS. He endeavors to please
the taste as we'll as the eye and
more particularly the pocket. The
white man keeps first-class articles
and to an extent the average colored
business man will buy inferior goods
and demand first-class prices.
These are only some of the few
reasons the negro fails in business.
1t is natural for a man to patro-
nize establishments that will sell
him the best goods for the least
money.
1t is argued that if white man
sets up a store on one corner and
a colored man on the opposite cor
ner, the colored people will patro-
nize the white man.
The fact is, the colored man, in
nine cases out Of ten will charge
you double the price that his neigh
Dor charges you and his goods will
more or less be inferior. The
Irishman will charge you five cents
for whiskey and the colored bar
tender will charge you ten cents for
the same kind.
Until the colored business man
learns how to please the taste of his
customers the longer he will remain
in the background.

THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

When some people are in need
they make all kind of promises and
propositions with no idea of carry
ing them out.
There is no excuse for school
teachers and those working regu-
larly, especially the departmental
employees from payi"g their bills
when they resort to the credit in
stallment system.
The trustees will not allow q
teacher to remain in school if he
attempts to defraud creditors out OF
their money.
The best credit system and the
most reasonable firm in this city are
House & Herman, who always treat
the negro right.
The city business is conducted
by Mr.. Ferman, a gentleman OF
the highest honor and integrity.

MUST RETIRE.
1t cannot be.

1t is not question of sympathy
that is being considered by the re-
publicans of the District, but, who
are the best men to represent them
in the next National Convention >?
1t has been reported that Mr..
Clarkso On should say Perry is always
welcomed whenever he knocks at
the door of the National Conven-
tions.
With all due respect to Mr..
Clarkson, that is not the question
that the republicans are consider
ing, but men of character, influence
ard brain. We want representa-
tlvcs of dignity and when they are
addressed by their peers, they will
reply accordingly.
We don't want representatives to
be given consideration on account
of any sympathy that may be mani
tested for them, or because they
can be used like the corn-feld
darkey or the plantation negro.
We don't want that class of men
to represent us. He must have
thoughts of his own, judgement
that will teach him to exercise dis
cretion and manhood that will en-
able him to demand what is neces-
sary.
Must we tolerate a man who is
incapable of representing himself?
Must we be subjected to the party
lash because one is as pliable as a
rubber ball?
The time has come for men of
this character to retire.
These are the dangers that con-
front us; these are fhe stumbling
blocks to the partys' advancement.
We are confident that Genl. |
Clarkson doesn't mean to dictate to
the republicans of this city.
If it is his intention to do so, we
would advise him to take his hands !
,ff, and the Post would do we'll to |
save it's space and the editor his |
lime in attempting to convince the |
people what they want.
