=cOLORED KICKING
Over the Pie Distribution-L.oaves and Fishes Falling Too Much on Side
 of Lukewarm Republicans. M
ro the Editor of the State Herald.

4To the Editor of the State Herald.
 While your journal is not one of repub- ,lican faith, you announce in your press dispatches of yesterday that MT. Julian Bingham had been appointed collector of interpal revenue of Alabama. I beg to say as an original Mckinley man that thoss at the head of the party have not keptsthst faith promised the brother in black for their loyalty and support in 2 county and district conventions. MT. 2 Bingham had no general indOrsement, but was taken up from the rank and file of luxewarm republicans, and one who had given less offense to the powers that be-" and for that reg son only his appoint ment has been made. Deception is to be deplored, no matter from what source it comes. When such men as Pettiford, Cornish, Morton and other applicants are Sfpfd by that sarne powers that be" that controls the republican destinies of Ala bama, t1 reu n to tn ir res pectiye homes, that the appointment of internal revenue collector would not be made until after the adjournment of congress, and ac- cepted in good faith by parties above named, it shows cenelusively that the real supporters of Mckinley are entirely ignored and that those whose lukewarm principles were enunciated through the last deal made in the state republican convention at Montgomery as the leaders of that party are to be rewarded. The Binghams 1 we'll know, and it can be att tested by any number of republicans throughout the state have had populistic tendencies. But it seems those of that faith are to be rewarded. We point to Reese, also to the Binghams. While rated as former republicans, we are inclined to the belief that they all, collectively, have lost their identity as republicans.
 Mr Mckinley promised to deal fairly with the colored brother in the disposi- tion of federal patronage But if he considers that with the three marshals, three district attorneys, one collector of internal revenue and four leading post offices of this state all filled by white men and no thought or care taken of the real personnel of the party which are 85 per cent. negroes then there is little care as to whether they exist or not only during convention times.
 His mind seems directed to the 15 per cent. of the party.
 ] serve notice now, speaking for that 85 per cent, that public patronage given to hold intact the state will be of no avail, that we had that experience with Presi- dent Harrison and are not to be caught again through office holders.
 The distribution of the loaves and fishes is entirely unsa atisfactory. We therefore serve notice on Messrs. Vaughan and Youngblood that if this is the best divi- sion they can make we pledge ourselves to see that they are supplanted by men whose nature is to see fair play. We, the negroes, are tired of gold bricks.
 Respectfully
 IT. w. OWENS.

SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Miners and Operators UncommunieatNe and the End of the Present State of
 Affairs a Matter of Uncertainty.

The situation at the several coal mining camps of this district remains unchanged and the result of the present difference between operators and operatives is as impossible to surmise as the proverbial kick of{a. mule
 All places previously noted as having been shut down are as yet unchanged and nothing definite is known All interested are pnep epn1mnnicatfve but the general impressioH prevails that the differences will be settled t an early date and ami cable to all.

Dandy came up and proceeded to puncture him with bullets, and then made good his escape.
 2 Officers are on the trail of Dandy but a, the las. report he was still at large.

WALL STREET SPECULATION
Political Events Cause Sudden and
Marked Speculative Activity
down Increase the Demand for All
Sorts Of Good Securities

NEW YORK Feb. 26.-In the last hour
and half of trading the stock exchange
threw Off the lethargy that has been its
characteristic for many days past. and
awakened to activity, in which the volume
OF trade was large and prices advanced
sharply throughout the list. The pardon of
Sanguilly by Spain and the consequent
practical abandonment by the United
States of its peremptory resolution de-
manding the immediate release of San
gully, was the main stimulating cause Of
the activity in the market. The announce
ment to the Associated Press that King
George Of Greece had intimated his inten-
tion to conform to the demands of the
powers with regard to Crete was also a
contributory cause. The relief afforded to
the market by the removal of these impend-
ing shadows on values let loose flood of
bullish sentiment. The shorts were driven
to cover, and prices went up with rush
on large transactions along the whole line.
The market opened with a tendency to
higher prices and continued firm all day,
but there was a very languid interest In
the market, transactions being restricted
apparently to await the course of the sem
ate on the Cuban question.
The trading was marked by strong and
confident tone, due to encouragement by
improvement In railway earnings for the
third week in February and the generally
favorable outlook. The Improvement in
railway earnings seems to extend to all
parts Of the country and to every group Of
properties. The inoustrials absorbed the
majority of attention and enjoyed the
largest advances. Sugar and Leather pre-
ferred rose 2M. The railway list enjoyed
its proportion of the advance the grangers
averaging a point to a point and half
The bond market responded readily to the
favorable influence affecting the stock
speculation, but gains were usually less
pronounced and confined to the better
grade Of issues The foreigners took mod
crate amounts of the speculative lines, in
which more activity developed than for
some time. Government bonds were in
moderate request and stiffened slightly on
purchases Of $4,000.

From the Tribune, Gree,y, Colorado.

As Tis,.ne representative was strolling
about town the ether day looking up items
of news, he dropped into Fezer's drug store.
This, that and other medicines were talked
of and their curative qualities analysed,
so far as lay In their power. The cura-
tive powers Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills were
talked Of when Mr.. Falkner clerk in the
store, mentioned that Mrs. Joseph Moore was
a firm believer in their efficacy. Pursuing
his quest, the Tribune man paid Mrs. Moore
a visit the next day.
Among the many good people residing in
Greeley, Colorado, Squire Moore and his
amiable wife are the best known and the
most respected. The Squire is carrying his
seventy-six years as sturdily as many men
who have not yet rounded their sixtieth mile
post, and his wife, Ann, is a fitting compan-
ion, one of those pleasant faced, agreeable
ladies' who make you feel perfectly at home
when in their company. This happy couple
were born in the same neighborhood, of the
West Riding, of York, England, in 1920; the
husband q few weeks his wife's senior and
for over fifty years they have travelled the
pathway of life together. In 1s4S they emil
grated to this country and settled in Derby,
Conn, where they resided for a number Of
years. While there Mr.. Moore, who was
highly respected by his neighbors, was elect
ed member of the State Legislature in 1867.
During his residence in the United States
he has been constant reader of the New
York Tribune, and was an ardent admirer
of its founder and great editor, Horace
Greeley, and firm believer in that notable
writer's opinions. Through those mediums
he was influenced to come to Greeley in the
early spring of 1871, and here he has resided
ever since. During his residence in this
beautiful section of northern Colorado he
has held many responsible public positions,
notably that Of Justice of the Peace, an Office
which he occupied uninterruptedly for eight
years; and four years ago was reelected to
another term, his name being placed in
nomination OF the convention without his
knowledge.
The newsgatherer was received cordially
and in response to his inquiries, Mrs. Moore
stated that her health commenced flilinQ
several yeaN ago but like great many WON.
en-, she scarcely knew the meaning of the
name sickness In relation to herself She
refused medical attendance or treatment Of
any kind: barring that which she drew upon
from the familypharmacopmiaor disRensary
Using Mrs. Moore's languaas: "For foul
years was miserable, h6rdly week passst
