To the critical observer it is apparent
that the publication is maInedb by young
men. 1t has all the snap, vigor and per

OF youth. Yet even these bunders are
interesting, for they reveal Il refreshing

Success is always attractive. This Is
why the magazine world is watching 30

ticular talents to the best advantage.
As a whole the entertainment Is
unique and has been meeting with
crowded houses and most credltable
comments wherever given.

"MUST THE NEGRO GO"

Perhaps the most remarkable eX-
preston bearing upon the negro suf-
frage which has recently found its way
into print emanates from the pen of
Mr.. William II. Thorne, editor of the
Globe QuayterlyRe0iezo.
In the December number of this
well-known magazine Mr.. Thorne
discusses the suffrage question under
the caption: "Must the Negro Cor
As the writer was largely instrumental
in bestowing suffrage upon the negro
race, his attitude with reference to
the question which he undertakes to
discuss is all the more significant. Says
Mr.. Thorne:
During the spring of the year 1895,
and afer more than thirty years of
sincere and old fashioned abolition
sympathy with the negro race, | made
TWO visits to several of our Southern
States, with results as follows:
First-all my old abolition sympa-
thies, which had been weakening for
able self assertion of our negroes since
the day of their emancipation, van
lshed like SO many scattered sOph-
istres for which | had no further use.
Second-On returning to New York
! published in the next issue of the
GIobe ReUie7v my conviction that, in
spite of the emancipation and our So
called education of the negro and
perhaps aided by these absurdllles-
the negroes of this country were more
than ever shiftless, unteaChable, i'm
moral race, incapable of any true civ
ilization in our land, and unworthy of
American citizenship.
Third-Tnat without mincing mat
tiers, or any longer writing or thinking
on the basis of sympathy with the ne
gro, | was convinced that inside the
next thirty years the South would be
obliged to are enslave, kill or export
the bulk of its negro population"
This Is violent language and comes
rather late in the day, but as candid
expression OF opinion from one who
has been identified for years with the
championship OF negro suffrage, Il
can but elicit widespread comment IN
both sections of the country. What
ever may have been the wrongs in
llicted upon the Anglo Saxon race and
to the negro himself by the haSty be
s,owal of suffrage upon three million
freshly emancipated slaves, the fac,
remains that the negro is nHw in pos
session of the elective franchise, and
nothing can be done but to make hin,
worthy of cltizenship.-Atlanta Cen

The three newspapers of Valentine,
j.. e.. the Republican, Demo ;rat and
News, have wisely "got together" on
one proposition-that of charging one
half regular rates for all "cards of
thanks" resolutions of coincidence"
and announcements of all church,
show and society entertainments where
BIO admission fee is charged. When
the newspapers receive compensation
for this class Of work they pay their
way into the various entertainments,
and, consequently, are not "snubbed,"
as they SO frequently are, for being
"comps," when in reality the work
they have performed and for which
they receive complimentaries amounts
to much more than the price of, the
tickets given. The majority of pa
pers over the state are now adopting a
schedule Of prices for all work of this
class.-Chadron Journal.
