of the years when the best thing you
could do for your fruit trees would be
to attend to thinning the fruit, as sell

Where corn is principal and staple
crop the question of meadow land
need give no concern. More good fod-

be obtained from an acre Of corn than
from the average acre of grass land.
The corn raisers are slow to catch on
to this fact, but it is a fact just the

he has struck a good thing in crossing
the Poland-China and red Jersey hog.
While he has good pigs, they are no
more prolific than the Jersey reds and
mature no earlier than the Polands,
and they are just as liable to attacks of
the cholera. This sort of mixing breeds
seldom pays.

OMAHA, NEBr FRIDAY, JANUARY u. 1000
OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT,

far away from home to raise the
question, but it seems to the
writer that there is a situation al
Lincoln which demands the i'm
mediate attention and action of
every Afro American citizen of
Nebraska.
The matter IS no doubt we'll
known there, and is as follows:
The headquarters of the Republi-
can state committee are located
at Lincoln in the Lindell hotel.
They seem to have been located
at Lincoln, not for the Conven-
ience of the state, but for the ben
eft of the particular hotel.
In the employ of the commit
tee has been young man by the
name of Haynes. He is a gentle
man in every respect, is high
school graduate, and has taken
two years in the State UniverSi-
ty. He has lived in the state
since childhood, and was so much
respected in Beatrice, his home,
that he was under standing invi-
tation to sing with the choir in
one of the fashionable churches.
So much for his standing and
citizenship.
Now this hotel where the Re
publican committee has it's head
quarters is the same one which re-
fused Bishop Turner a place in
the dining room, on the ground
that he belonged to an inferior
race and was a descendant of the
monkey tribe. 1t seems the ho-
tel man has gotten another one
of his aristoCratic spells, super1n
duced no doubt, by the increased
receipts of the whiskey saloon
which he conducts in connection
with his house. He refuses Mr..
Haynes, the employe of the Re-
publican state committee, the
privilege of riding upstairs in the
hotel elevator. In spite of pro-
tests he presists in the refusal.
He thinks that "the descendants
of monkeys ought 10 climb instead
of ride.
Now the duty of the Afro A
merican citizens is very plain.
They should unite in a demand
that the headquarters Of the Re
publican state committee be re-
moved from the Lindell hotel,
and they should not cease in the
demand until the committee
takes action. The writer believes
that every colored man in the
state of Nebraska owes allegl-
ance to the Republican party,
but there should be something
mutual in the alliance. The col
ored voters should be treated as
men and not as monkeys. If
they are not good enough to ride
in the elevator at the Republican
headquarters, they are not good
enough to vote the ticket.
If this matter is Brought prop
erly and forcibly before the lead
ers of the party, l believe prompt
action will be taken. The Re
publican leaders are men. They
are not simpletons, and they are
not owned by a hotel keeper.
They want the colored vote, and
they do not want to see the race
needlesslv insulted.
Here in Washington the color
ed man is recognized by the Re-
publicans. Our brethren hold
many places in the departments,
and receive proper treatment.
There is no place where local pref.
udice is stronger than here at
the capital, and yet the cOlored
employees of the departments,
and of the Republican commit
tees are accorded good treat
ment, and ride in the elevators
of the palatial hotels.
Call on the Republican party
to either protect the colored vo
ters, or dispense with their sup
port.
W.P. Kemp.
