The appointment by President Nc
Kinley of Hon. Henry Demas of Louisi-
ana, to be Naval Officer at the port of
New Orleans is by far the most import
ant p 'sition yet conferred upon the race
l. is fitting recognition of man who
has made gallant fight from start to
finish in behalf of Major Mckinley so
far al his nomination and election was
concerned, and just rebuke to that
bastard organization known as the "Lilly

who cry ''Negro domination" and seek
to exclude him from utilization or honors
at the hands of the party.

pointed Mr.. Demas is one that pays a

Camel as q ScaDepoat
J. J. MILES.

A very curious use to which the
camel is sometimes put among the
desert tribes is related by a distine-
uished traveller. He tells US that he
once saw one employed to appease a
quarrel between two parties, much as
the "scapegoat" was used in the re-
ligious rites of the Jewish people. The
camel was brought out and accused bv
both parties to the controversy of all
the injuries, real and imaginary,
which they had suffered. All the mis-
chief that had been done they laid
upon the camel. They L.braided it
with being the cause Of the feud which
had separated friends, reviled it with
every opprobrious epithet and tinally
killed it, declaring themselves recon-
ciled over it's body.-Exchange.

courts and the suppression ofC Congress. Do
you suppose W. J. Bryan dares to chide
Debs for his reasonable conduct? Not

for another Democratic nomination and

the polls must come from Debs and his
