VIEWS AFOOT.
Editor of the Reflector.

EDITOR OF the Reflector.
Having nothing to do Sunday
| thought | would take a spin
out in the town Of Lake and see
how things looked politically.
In the afternoon | went to the
Shiloh Baptist Sunday school,
which was crowded to it's doors
and everybody seemed to take
an interest in the lesson, some
thing that you don't find in
every colored Sunday school.
After Sunday school l went
to visit some friends Of mine.
On my way to their house | met
two gentlemen whom | knew
and had a talk with them on
the political situation of the
town Of Lake, and from what
they told me the colored citizens
have knives up their sleeves for
Roy 0. West, ex-city attorney,
and Charles S. Deneen states
attorney who live out there.
The very gentlemen who are
now fighting Deneen and West
were last spring laboring III
their behalf. Mr.. l.. H. Esters,
who is an old time republican,
was in the employ Of the city in
the police department until two
or three days after the judicial
election.
Mr.. Esters who thought SO
much Of the G. 0. p, when he
saw that the republican judicial
ticket was in danger Of being
defeated this spring, rolled up
his sleeves and went to work in
the interest Of the republican
judicial ticket, and two days
after the election lost his posi-
ton, while he might have been
working today had he not sup
ported the republican judicial
ticket.
Mr.. N. A. Hardin, whom the
republican leaders have been
promising a position for the
last three years, is still living off
of promises and is not going to
stand it any longer, as promises
will not buy -four.
The Colored Voters Represen-
tative league of the town Of
Lake who helped send Roy o.
West to oblivion this spring
even went SO far as to get out
circulars against the whole
republican ticket. The officers
Of that league are as follows:
James A. Renfroe, president; AL
bert w. Wright, End vice pres;
Sam B, Emmick, 3rd vice pres;
Albert w. Hubbard, secretary;
John Montgomery, cor sec;
George Galloway. financial sec
rerary; L. Renfroe, treas. Next
month is the election Of precinct
captains, and the boys are Or
ganizing for earnest, determined
work. Things have got to such
a critical point that it is said
that the Odd Fellows lodge,
with membership Of $50 mem
bers have come to the rescue.
1t is said the members of that
lodge have pledged themselves
to do any thing to defeat Deneen
and West and send them to OBJ
livion from whence they came.
By the way I see the colored
people of the town of Lake are
going to hold a mass meeting
at the Shiloh Baptist church
Thursday Oct. Dist, for the
benefit Of the colored citizens Of
Alton Ill.

three politicians from the south
town, we'll, I will not call any
names, making strenuous efforts
to secure one Of the colored
churches for the purpose Of hold

SPAIN HAS HER CHANGE.

The downfall of the Azcarraga min istry, the coming in of Sagasta, the exchange of Weyler for a soldier who will fight men in arms and not farm CTS, are events that show Spain to be approaching a point where she will have chance to get out of the miser- able Cuban business without further loss of honor and with profit to her self.
 Will Sagasta have the courage to take this chance? The new liberal ministry, having the support of only a minority in the Cortes, cannot be said to be firm on its feet. The Gu ban patriots, reiterating their de- mand for independence and nothing less as price of peace, render diff cult any attempt at negotiation But the chance is. worth taking chance of making a bargain for the sale of Cuba to the men who are so bravely fighting for the possession of the island, and at the same time lift ing from Spain the burden that is crushing her.

Government by in- junction" is simply subterfuge and the men who make capital out of it ara use it for slogan are opposed to law and order. They are the enc mics of organized society and they prefer chaos to the protection of the courts. Injunctions never injured any man or prevented him from exercis- ing his rights, except when he claim ed that his rights included attacks upon the persons and property of others.

TO STUDY THE FEVER.

The news that a distinguished Ger fever in the south is an indication of the significance which the world at large attaches to the scourge. It is also suggestion to the effect that the field opened for studious investi- gation on the gulf coast as one of peculiar attractions in a pathologi- cal sense. The quest for the mater ies morbi in the case of this disease, as of others, of course, must invite doctors. It has called them to South American ports before now, and in one instance was. supposed to have been successful in a degree. An It. allan physicians researches on the coast of Brazil last year were, indeed, much talked of because of their all legged conclusiveness. The visit of Dr. Klebs shows that all former ef- forts in that line have not amounted to much. But for that reason it is none the less a splendid evidence of the magnanimity of the scientific class that he offers himself to per form the dangerous work of tracing out the mysterious fomes sought. The work is really dangerous, it should be borne in mind. Two prominent young doctors of the south, both equipped for special observations in connection with germinology, have already suffered death from the epi- demic

TOURIST DUTIES.

During September the collector of on personal baggage brought home by returning tourists amounting to $93, ,709, against $19,050 collected dur ing September, 1896. This remark able gain proves two/ things: the wis dom of the e-hundred-dollar clause and the enormous amount of foreign made goods that has heretofore been brought into this country free of duty.
 It is apparent that the inspectors of customs have not been lenient with the tourists and that the new act has been enforced without fear or favor. Nearly enc hundred thousand dollars a month o1 personal property repre- sents goods worth considerable more. There is no reason why the tourists should be exempt from paying duties while the importers of such goods as they bring home are compelled to pay duty.
 The tariff should apply to importers and to tourists alike. It does, and now that the tourists have become accustomed to the new order of things there are fewer complaints heard. The effect of the enforcement of the one hundred-dollar clause will be to re- duce the amount of purchases abroad by touring Americans and a corres pending increase in the sale of goods at Home
