President McKiuley's message
is a strong document. We do not
agree with that part relating to
the civil service. We are opposed
to civil service all the way through

become republicans by keeping
them in office. We believe in a
clean sweep from either party

it seems impossible for it to reach
Washington. 1t is to be doubted
whether its own mother would
know it, time it got here. Pros>
perity's waves should be made to
begin in the middle. somehow so
it would not have so far to travel
and then we could all get whack
at it.-Colored American.

looking toward the assembling OF

position. All the various colored

nearby scarce ard retail AT 32c; Western are
quoted at 24c in a jobbing way. Potatoes firm.
