He has q great host OF customers or
both races. He numbers among his
customers people of all conditions -
leaders and Iaborers; and Mr. MeDon-

one. He keeps at the same stand and
improves as time fits by. Today like
yesterday Mr. Mcdonald puts quality
first. Right here has been the secret
OF his success. Today he keeps the best

Mr.. Mcdonald personally stands high
in his vicinity. His word is as reliable
as the City National Bank Of his town
No one ever doubts his sincerity for a
moment. His character is the man.
He bas not buiided unwisely at ali.
Deeper than this successful career is
the underlying priDcIple-honesty Of

'the right action"
Mr.. Mcdonald is indeed local pow

only reason he has not been the recip

A white paper published in Mexis in
a recent edition paid this tribute to Sir.
Mcdonald:
"H. ]. Mcdonald, q colored citizen
of Mexia, conducts a successful grocery
business on Commerce street. He is
one of the few colOred meu ia the state

the confidence Of the white population.
He is very intelligent and is strictly re

Negro paper of the century.
Howard's Magazine for October is
full Of interesting matter. The pub
Usher should feel satisfied as to Its
merits. Prof Kelly Miller, of Wash.
ington has a very logical article on
''The Effect of Imperialism Upon the
Negro Race" Prof. Miller is quite able
to discuss such subject. He advises
the Negro above all things to adhere tn
the great Declaration OF Independence
regardless of party, since ss Prof. Nil
Ter so sptly says: "There has been a
strange transposition of parties on this
question. The doctrine OF Abraham
Lincoln has been espoused by the
party of Stephen A. Douglas, while the
professed followers of the great Emanci

litical sabjugatIon and inequality"

hard indeed, striving 10 accumulate
something. Strange as 1T may seem, we
often hear the average orator of the
present day chastising us as race for
beginning at the top, after our emanci
patton, instead of at the bottom of
building the superstructure, before We
had laid the foundation. But some of
the most pleasing examples of the black
man striving after sonnet hing material,
Is found in the records of characters as
our subject, DIR. Mcdonald. Feeling
that he coald better his condition In
every respect, in 1880 Mr.. Mcdonald
with his family-for since his sdvent-
ure into Alabama, he had taken unto
himself q life long friend, and who has
proven herself this-moved into the
then paradise Of the South, Texas, and
settled at Mexia, which place has been
his home since, and which has been
the scene of struggles and triumphs.
HeIe Dir. Mcdonald has established
himself a record for all times and Of
which his posterity Will be justly proud.
In the fall of 1887, Mr.. Mcdonald open
ed grocery; misfortune has been bis
as we'll as success: dark days have
hung over him just as the days OF SUM-
shine have sbided. Only those of apa

it is, is now being reaped.

the coIored man in his place Of bust
ness; no greasy counters or cobwebbed
walls; no great crowds of loafsrs hang
ing around, driving away trade and
respect, but rather on the other hand,
every thing is clean and neat. The Mc.

part Of his little city, on Commerce ST.

THE GdtATEST DANGER.

Duty of Voters to Anuihiiate it This

Discuss the Other Important Issues
Bef.re the American People.
The Detroit Abend-Post, a German
paper, opposed to expansion, has the
following editorial under the caption,
Whence the greatest danger threat
ems"
In the campaign of 1900, the people
will like in that of 1896, consider the
question from which party the great
est benefits for the national welfare
are to be expected And as they an
swer this question, so they will also
vote, without regard to the noise of
speakers and newspapers, who very
enthusiastically labor for the success
of their respective parties.
The question now arises: Which is
the more dangerous, silver with the
distress and suffering, which it will
surely cause, or expansion, with its
great sacrifices? 1t will not be very
difficult matter for the average voter
to find an answer to this question, for
the campaign of education in 1896 was
not useless one Questions which in
former years were understood by only
a small number of people ARE now
easily understood by millions, for they
have studied these questions and they
have now come TO the conclusion that
free silver coinage as advocated in the
Democratic platform and for the intro
duction of which the Democratic party
in case it should be successful, would
make a desperate attempt, that this
would be the greatest possible calam-
ity of our country.
Many, a great many, of the people
do not like the expansion policy or
the administration; many denounce,
although they know that this policy did
not result on account of any such wish
of the administration, but followed as
a matter Of necessity.
Most of the Republican opponents Of
expansion, and among them such brill
liant men as Senator Hoar and eX-
Senator Edmunds. both of whom have
for a generation been very prominent
in American politics. believe that the
greatest enemy of our welfare is found
in the Demo-Popocratic free silver
heresy, and that the first aim of every
citizen should be to defeat this.
After free silver has been utterly
annihilated, then the time will come
for solving other momentous questions
and among these the expansion policy,
but at present this is of less impor-
tance than the free silver question.

Lincoln Then and Now.

The 'jewel of Inconsistency is
sparkling with more than ordinary
brilliancy in these days of 1900.
Certain journals are now placing
Abraham Lincoln among the saints,
and in this they are correct But it is
interesting to note the attitude of these
same journals toward the greatest
American statesman at the time when
he was alive At that time epithets
could not be made vile enough to suit
the taste of some of these vitriolic
editors Following are a few of the
choice editorials used by them in 1864,
when Mr.. Lincoln was a candidate the
second time:
"Under the administration of Abra-
ham Lincoln the American govern
ment has lost most of the features
which distinguished it from the des-
potisms of the old world"
Lincoln is fast assuming all the
state of crowned monarch, while he
exercises powers that not despot in
Europe would dare to resort to-"
with the impudence and insolence
of a tyrant. who feels himself already
master of the country, he thus throws
in the faces of the whole people the
iron issue-ABRAHAM LINCOLN
AGAINST THE PEOPLE: DESPOT-
ISM AGAINST THE REPUBLIC"
"The latter (our governmenD can
not endure another four years reign OF
Abraham Lincoln. He has already
destroyed the substance of liberty, and
long before 1868 we would cease to
have the form of free institutions. II
he Us triumphant, we may bid a long
farewell to the American republic"
There are many indications that a
conspiracy is on foot to make this the
last election of President and convert
our government into an imperial mon
archy. The whole course of Lincoln
government has been in that direction
He has entirely set aside the constitu-
ton and governs by his own will and
caprice.
The vicious attacks that are now be-
ing made upon President Mckinley are
similar to those made upon Lincoln ir
1864 And the result will be the same
his triumphant reelection.

SOME ANCIENT HISTORY.
Democratic Platforms which Raised the
Cry of Imperialism.

President Seth Low, of Columbia
university, in his speech, seasonably
recalls another Democratic national
platform, beside that of 1864 with its
terrifying predictions of Republican
Imperialism and the imminent down
fall of the nation at the hands of the
Republican party.
In 1868, the Democrats resolved, at
New York. that under the Republican
party's repeated assaults the pillars
of the government are rocking on
their base, and should it succeed in
November next, and inaugurate its
president, we will meet, as a subjected
and conquered people, amid the ruins
of liberty and the scattered fragments
of the constitution
The same Democratic pfatfrom fur
ther declared certain acts of congress
TO be "a fragrant usurpation of power
which can find no warrant in the. con-
stitution, and, if sanctioned by the
people will subvert our form of gov
ernment, in which the separate exist
tut'- VI Ailt oltllCo Wlll NC NhNiANiJ az
sorbed, and an unqualified despotism
be established in place of Federal
union of co-equal states"
How mild and gentle compared with
these words of thirty-two years ago,
are the same Democracy's Imperial
ist" murmurs of today. These people,
however, made their own answer to
this wall, by more than 100000 majori-
ty for Ulysses S. Grant, for president,
over Horatio Seymour giving Grant
214 electoral votes in 26 states, and
only so for Seymour in only eight
states. Was the prediction realized
then, or has it been since that day?
Are the Democrats any better prophets
now than they were in 1864 or 1865?
