The C0LORED AMERICAN


The Colored American Is seven years
old today. It's youngster SIS far as
years are concerned but IN point Of Cir
eulation, influence, and in power for
good it is ripe in years. 1t began under
adverse circumstances but the manage
ment can say that in celebrating its
seventh anniversary that it is en- pay
ing basis, that 1t has a hoss OF friends
and that it lie ia a position to do great
good for the race, to ameliofate Its con
ditIon and 10 strike hard blow when
necessary. To those who have followed
the fortunes Of The Colered American
and lite management we tender our
thanks. We shall strive TO deserve the
good will and confidence and the sup
port not only Of those who have been
our friends in the past but for all the
people.

The Pen and Pencil Club of this
town has got here to stay. We never
knew before that our knights Of the
quill in the District of Columbia could
consume SO much cheese and crackers
and Potomac water in SO short a time,
and fer the past few weeks Potomac
water has looked wonderfully like the
brew so dear to the heart Of King
Gambrinurs. Long life and an increase

The chivalric white men of Georgis
opened the current with two lynchings
Of black men for "alleged criminal
assault" We have ne sort Of sympa-
thy with rapists, and we have none for
lynchers. Two crimes don't make
virtue The orderly procedure OF the
law is the only safeguard for the Or
derby administration Of government.
We might as veil have no courts and
officers of the law, if the mob is to have
is own swset way in the matter of
taking human life and destroying
the property of parties they don't like.
1t is to be hoped that the gigantic in
tellscts in Congress will be able to
evolve some legal remedy from the
national point Of view to meet this
evil based on the bill introduced by
Representative George II. White, OF
North Carolina a short while ago.
The conviction that the citizsn of
State is greater than a citizen of the
United States Is survival of the old
State rights mummery which culmi-
mated in the great Civil War and cost
this nation millions of dollars and
thousands upon thousands of human
lives and crushed for all time the vii.
lainoGs head of the slave power. We
shall have to discuss the valuation of
the rights Of citizens as long az every
State is silent on the matter of the life
and properly OF citizens Of the United
States. They appeal to the supreme
unit in our government There are
other conspiracies than those in the
Southern States such as the control of
strikes and like duties, and the rsgula-
ton of trust combinations and other
combinations in restraint of trade
which will force upon the federal au-
thority. There ought to be a further
amendment to the Constitution, if au-
thsrity cannot be found there now.
Such Legislation as will abridge the
right of the States in the matter of the
control Of the life and limb and prop
erty Of the citizens of the United States
and of the States in which they reside

A NEW SAFETY MATCH.

A match has at last been discovered
which can be manufactured absolute
ly without the aid of phosphorus. This
safety match contains neither red nor
yellow phosphorus nor a compound of
phosphorus, but possesses the great
advantage Of being able to be manu-
featured with the plant and machinery
hitherto in use. Invention still strides
onward through every line, and yet
there some things which seem imper-
lous to Improvement. For instance,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. that ia
nous medicine, has stood unequalled
for fifty years as a corrective of stom-
ach disorders. limitations have sprung
up about It, but like beacon light,
1t has stood immovable. pointing the
way to health from all such ailments
as constipation, indigestion, dyspepsia.
biliousness. sluggish liver or weak kid
neys.

According TO last evenings Telegram
II Is understood Dodwell & Co. VIII dis
continue permanently their steamship
service between Portland and the ORR
ent. after the next trip OF the Braemar.
The business from this port. however.
Will be taken care OF by special char
tered carriers until such a time as the
Union Pacific finds 1t advisable TO in
augurate service OF its own. In fact.
II may be said. the retirement OF Dod-
well e. Co. from the field. is the pre-
liminary step 10 an increased Oriental
service. which Will have the further ad-
vantage Of being backed by one OF
the most powerful transcontlnental sys-
tens. the Union Pacific railway. Among
the more permanent shippers the news
OF the reported change will not be
much OF surprise, but. until the pres
ent time. no lnkling OF 1t had reached
the general public. The Braemar has
been chartered by the government to
load supplies at Tacoma. She will make
one more trip from Portland. Then, ac-
cording to the program. unless special
ARRANGEMENTS are made with Dodwell
& Co, to keep its other steamers upon
this run temporarily. the company. 1t
Is said. will move to Tacoma, and make
its headquarters there. 1t is generally
understood that the company is an
nexed to the Northern Pacific. Its re-
moval, therefore, means that the North
ern Pacific is preparing to look after
its increased business at Tacoma and
give that port a better Oriental SER
vice, The Oriental trade during the
last year has increased so rapidly from
all the Pacific coast ports that the diff
ferent railroads have found it neces-
sary to press into service all their spare
steamers from the particular port in
which they are most interested.
