purpose of trying to dfscredit him with
the administration and the leaders Of
the republican party. They might as
well have remained at home for all the
good they accomplished, for Col.
Youngblood is today the leader of the
Alabama republicans, recognized as such
bv the President. He is the Alabama
member Of the National Committee. His
gentIemanly department and fine exc
cutive ability aud the generally satls-
factory manner in which he has per-
formed his duties, have merited the
cOmmendation and respect of every
chief of the Treasury Department. 1t
was Col Youngblcod's able argument
against the Payne resolution before the
National Committee that did much to
turn the tide and save the republicans
OF the South from being deprived OF
their proper representation in the ma
tional republican convention. He is be-
Ing uniustly assailed by men of his
party whom he has helped to bring to
the front, but he has the confidence of
the real republicans of Alabama, white
aud black. This fact goes without the
saying, He is trying to build up the
party in the state, but he cannot do it
with Office seekers. 1t must be done
bym who cherish the time honored
principles Of the party, and who are
Wilingto stand up for national honor
and human rights. Col. Youngblood
is one Of the most substantial friends
the CoOred man has in public life, and

then, 1t, and other congregations
throughout the country can do now,
even though they do not raise such a
large sum. The cause that needs de-

the white man, who is mighty clan

This question Of "Righte" is the
most important question OF the present
century. When the Negro is denuded
of his political rights by cne state, or a

effort to regain them, he discovers to
those who are systematically plotting

REPRESENTATION.

OF course It does not strictly pertain to
the subject to record an interesting fact
with regard to the general labor situation
in Omaha, which presumably is typical
Western town, but 1t may nevertheless
be recalled that the Omaha World-Her-
aid was Mr.. Bryan's personal organ in
1896, and during that campaign it made
the prophecy daily that in the event of
McKinley's election the depression and
distress among the working classes
would be widespread. The best proof
of the falsity of this prophecy is found
on the want pages of the World-Herald.
A recent issue at hand contains the adj
vertisements of two females and seven
males who want situations, while on the
same page the "help wanted" advertise
ments ask for 107 females and 115 males.
This is in addition to the agents want
ed" and does not include the advertise
ment for 1000 men for railroad work.
The calamity prophecy was failure in
Mr.. Bryan's own State, as it was else
where.
