Mr.. Ollie Mack the humorous
comedian and Gale Murray as the
central figures, will play one nights
engagement at the Auditorium
Tnurd5y evening January 26. All
who attend will have an opportun-
ity of seeing the most successful
of all farce comedies, Finnigans
Ball, gingered up to date with all
the sweet meats of the comedy
world. For the past three years
the play has been one of the most
wholesome successes, and has sue
ceeded in playing in the capacity of
the theaters on the circuit nightly.
The cast embraces the names of
representative people who have
each been engaged for the sole pur-
pose of having a farce comedy or
ganization that defies adverse criti-
cism. Special scenery, electrical
aud mechanical effects are carried
to properly produce the play on the
road. The sale of seats opens at
the usual place four days in ad-
vance. Regular prices will prevail
for this occasion.

Something for Nothing

We have heard Of the boy whC
wanted to eat his cake aud keep il
too, but never before OF a business
man who sold his goods aud then
gave the purchaser credit for the
amount paid. To learn about this
send to James Vicks Sons, of Ro-
chester, n. Y, who agree to do
this in their Guide. The Golden
Wedding edition of Vick's Garden
and Floral Guide is certainly an
artistic work, with its twenty-four
pages Autographed in colors, and
nearly one hundred more pages 6ll-
ed with handsome half-tone illustra
tions, photographed from flowers
fruits, vegetables and homes.
While this guide is really too ex.
pensive to give away, they give it
with a due bill for 25 cents worth
of seeds for only 10 cents. Another
new feature is the doing away with
the old packet of vegetable seeds
and stating the quantity in each
case, the buyer getting more for
his money.

Not 50 Smart.

An exchange says: A minister,
who frequently expressed surprise
at the typographical errors iu news
papers, recently had printed pro-
gram for religious services in his
church. When the program was
ready for the press, he stipulated
that in order that there should be
no errors in it the proof should be
submitted to him. 1t was done, aud
corrected according to his markings.
After the job was delivered, friend
called his attention to the following
line in the closing hymn: "Jesus
resigns and heaven rejoicesl" The
preacher nearly tainted, but he
doesn't think he is half as smart as
he used to think he was.

KIDNEY TROUBLES.

The kidneys cleanse the blood and
on their activity depends the health

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pnen-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of Ia grippe. Dur
ing the epidemic of la grippe a few
years ago when so many cases re-
suited in pneumonia, it was OBJ
served that the attack was never
followed by that diserse when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency
of a cold or la grippe to result in
that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world tor bad
colds and la grippe. Every bottle

TIE NEGRO AND THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY.

The question Is being asked shall
the negr, continue his support to
the Republican party. If the negro
does not support that party where
IS he going, must he go to the part,
that is killing him, or must lie
remain with the party which seems
unable to protect him? Will some
philosopher answer these questions?
Th; position of the negro in this
country is grave one He must
consider the evils by which he Is
Confronted and decide for himself
what he is to do. He must decide
soon. In the South the negro m4y
decide, but in the North he should
hold on until he can better his con-
dition.
1t is true to some extent that the
democrats North are making IN

NO WHITE PERSONS.

Professor Redpath the author Of
Universal History, in his treatment
of the origin, distribution, and
characteristics of races, emphasizes
the fact that there are no such per
sons as white persons. Indeed, he
claims that so-called white people
are very far from being that color.
On the contrary, the nearest that
the color of the Argan or Caucasian
race approximate white is that of
ruddy or light shade of red.
Hence it appears that even the So
called white race are colored. OF
course, it may be desirable to make
it appear that the Caucasians are
white. which is emblematic of
puiety; but everybody knows that
they are not. The most advanced
ethnologists call the Indo- Euro
peans the blushing" race, and
there seems to be some ground for
this in the fact of their thin skin
and its discoloration under excite
ment From practical standpoint
however, at least, so far as this
country is concerned, the blushing
habit seems to be growing uhpopu
lar if we are to believe that a wiIlful
violation Of morals or conscience is
calculated naturally to produce the
blush. Considering the political
murders, lynchings, and general
deviltry being perpetrated among
some so-callel American whites, j,
seem that he blush ng capacity is
growing wonderfully absent. Lei
us hope that the blush may soon
return, as an earnest Of an acknowl
edgment of wrongdoing and a
determination to do justice toward
all mankind.
AS there are no white people, but
all mankind are tinctured with
darker or lighter hue as the case
may be, it would seem but folly to
split hairs on shades and to assume
superiority on the matter If color
There is 40 material difference
between men, taking them as raw
material or in state Of ma ure.
Some may be chistlled in bronze
and some in marble, but we are all

entitled alike to equal considerA-
ton. Moreover we are all colored.

DR.. RICHARDSON BEFORE THE CON-
GREssION LYCEUM.
The lamented Frederick Douglass
made no mistake when he said several
wears since that DIR. George n. Rich
ardson is a logician and philosopher,
Sunday last the latter read paper on
individual sovereignty, before the Con-
gressional Lyceum, ODD FeiloWS
Hall, which in point OF logic, dictlon
and philosophic thought was unan-
swerable, not even a satisfactory
synopsis of this able address can De
given here. The essayist began by
referring to the reasons for govern.
ment; that sovereignty should be vest
ed in the government and not in the in
individuals, and that the basis OF all
social law is justice and reason. In
referring to trusts monopolleS and
syndicates, he stated though the tres
Of every furnace might be extl gulsh-
ed, the doors of every machine shop

palace boat ceased plying the high
seas and every rail torn up from the
vast system of railways, yet the stock
broker, the bond holder and the mill
ionaires and the moneyed syndlcates
would continue to buy and sell stock,
clip coupons and dictate financial
legislation, and that this condltion OF
things would continue until radicai
change is effected in governmental
system by wisely amending the ted
eral constitution, by wholesome con-
gressional legislation and burying
forever, in fact as we'll as in theory,
the last vestige-the slightest recog-.
milton of the pernicious doctrine OF

The paper was discussed by Hon:

have acted In violation of the Con-
stitution and of his oath to execute
the laws. The President may be
friendly toward us and yet not
expected to violate the law, to rem
der assistance for which we did not
have the sense or judgment to ask
We view the effort to conciliate
the South as unwise. What unwls-
ON can there be in attempting to
unite the whole American people
into one homogeneous and united
body; and if the Republican party
ls our friend, what objection can
there be to augmentiDg the party
by accessions from the better ele-
ment of the South? Will it not
lessen opposition at that point in
proportion as it's members espouse
the principles of the Republican
party and endorse its policy of a
"free ballot and tar count ?"
1t is a noticeable fact that the
white people are always seeking to
unite more and more clo"ely. 1t is
a characteristic much to be admired
and ought to be initiated by us.
Experience shows that in union
there is strength, and no race is in
need of strength more than our
own.
Instead of grumbling at the
policy pursued by the President, of
striving to secure united people,
we ought to learn the lesson of
unity and act vigorously aud at
once in order to secure it. Had the
colored people been united and
directed 10y men of wisdom and
bravery many of the reverses which
we have suffered would have been
averted. Let us not be too hasty
In denouncing our friends, lest we
magnify the mote in their eyes on
account of the monumental beam
in our own. Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty and he who
would be free, must himself strike
the blow" Organization directed
by cautious aggression and manly
defense will do for the race infinitely
more than the policy of eternslly
stretching forth our hands without
doing anything toward filling
them, and of complaining because
others are not watching our interest
while we are asleep.

HAST, OHNE RAsT."

This motto of Goethe is one
which may well commend itself to
every right thinking coDored man
and woman in this country. The
hard conditions which now sur
round US, especially at the South,
are calculated to produce vigorous
retaliation on the one hand and
discouragement and the abandon.
ment of hope on the other. But, in
the light of the best experience and
wisdom of great men and peoples
neither of these extremes is justi.
fable. Unhasting but unresting"
shoull be our watchword. There
are reactions which take place IN
the social condition of mankind !;
to day under a mlsapprehension of
moral laws a class or whole people
may be led into the most shameless
violation of right and justice.
The denial of civil. political, and
social rights may be the rule, while
all the specious forms of robbery,
build zinr, and crimes of the most
loaths ONE and heinous character
may be commit ed without apparent
resisten or public condemnation.
Devastation, lynchings, and politi
cal murders may become rampant,
encouraged rather than deferred by
the people. But this condition of
things cannot last, it is inconsistent
with the irresistible trend of events
antagonistic to and subsersive alike
Of religion, morals, intelligence,
and the approved modes of human
progress. 1t is produced by tenn
porary withdrawal of public atten-
ton or a false no ion as to the
rights and liberties of certain classes
IS compared with those of other
classes. Temporary back ward move
ments are frequently to be observed
in tie history of the development
Of all races but they are of short
duration and fraught with reaction
ary movements which render their
reappearance impossible. 1t is as
though the nation had stopped to
take breath in order to take fresh
onward move.
In this hour of darkness, when
it seems that even Providence has
withdrawn his sympathy and assis
tance when our erstwhile friends
seem either hostile or Indifferent
and the public conscience slumber-
ing, it behooyes us to be deliberate,
patient, and hopeful as well as
Systematically and cautious striv-
ing to fully meet the condition s
hich certain reaction will surely |
demand. By christian fortitude, by |
a steady and persistent endeavor
to take on the conditions of the
higher forms of civilized society,
by mutual help, and untiring vigil
lance, we will be prepared to ride
safely and permanently OH the .ide
which must soon rise out of its
present apathy. Our friends are
only waiting for a little further
agg ression to demand more humane
treatment from the Southern white
villains whose fiendishness has
during the past years been without
bounds.
When the time comes which can
not be long deferred. the eolored
people will be fully repaid for their
patience and forbearance, and the
will receive their Just !
deserts Let us bide our time and
oe ready when the time comes to
prove our acceptabiIity and thus
Justify our friends in their assis-
ance. The awakening cannot be
much longer delayed. Let us BE-
Funhasting but unresting."
