RURAL DELIVERY.
Steps Taken To Secure a Trial
Route in This County.
Great Growth of this System in
Few Years
Time.

Plans are under way to secure a
rural free delivery route in Christ
ian county, the first applied for $50
for as we know in the second district.
M, Ben Bradshaw, of near Per-
broke, has taken the lead in Sthe
matter and secured the necessary
number of signatures asking for a
free route cut the Nashville and
Bradshaw roads 10 miles, across to
Longview 4 miles and thence back
by the Ciarksyille pike to Hopkins
vile 10 miles This route would
take mail from the offices at Casky,
Pembroke and Longview and abol-
ish that at The Square
The growth of free rural delivery
has been phenomenal, We are al
ready covering with rural delivery
a larger area than England, all
effected within the past two years.
BY the end Of the current fiscal
year we shall reach one-sixth of the
2l,OO0.0O0 to be served, What has
been substantially accomplished is
capable of skiold expansion.
On the 1st OF July 1899, there were
3O1 rural delivery routes in oper-
alton. Within the fiscal year,
under an appropriation of $3.50, 600,
this number was increased to l,214.
On the lst of July 1900, the appro-
of ST., $50, 900 became available, and
on the 18th of November 2,6I4 routes
had been located and established,
6l,979 miles in aggregate length,
covering 66,S42 square miles, di-
vided among A. States and Terrific
Iies, and serving population Of
1901, ,524. The number of applica-
tlons pending at that date and
awaiting action or under investiga-
ion was more than ,100-nearly
enough to double the existing SER
vce-and every day brings more.
The close of the present fiscal year
will see about 1900 routes in oper-
alton, carrying the mail daily to the
doors of not less thau 800, 900 resi-.
dents of the rural districts.

FARMERS DEMOCRATIC AND RIGHT

The republican managers and or
gans are trying to comfort the dis
Outraged republicans of the cities,
where the desertions from the party's
ranks are numerous, and the wage
workers are lining themselves up
against trusts and imperialism, by
declaring that the farmers are coming
TO the rescue of McKinley-that the
country people are all right. and the
gains in the rural districts will more
than make up for the party's losses
in the cities.
Says the Springfield Register:
The republican managers and or
gans are indulgiDg in fairy tales in
making such statements. The farm
ers of the country are no more friend
ly to trusts and Imperialism than are
the wage workers of the cities. So
far as our own locality is concerned
the late republican and democratic
rallies in this city furnish convincing
proof that the Mckinley administra-
lion is as weak there as it is elsewhere.
In the republican day parade on
Roosevelt day, by actual count, exclu
sive of paid musicians, women and
boys, the Sangamon county country
clubs consisted of 531, while in the
democratic dav parade ON Hill day
there were ,05S from the country
townships in line, exclusive of paid
musicians, women and children.
There were twice as many Sangamon
county democratic farmers in the line
on Hull day as there were Sangamon
county republicans in line on Roose-
welt day, in the day parade. In the
night parade the proportions of demo-
cratic farmers were even larger.
There were 1913, exclusive of paid
musicians, women and children in the
country democratic clubs on Hill day,
and 2l0 in the republican country
clubs on Roosevelt day"
These facts and figures show that
the republican managers and organs
are drawing on their imagination
when they claim that the farmers are
for Mckinley.
The farmers are democratic and
right.

AN APPEAL TO ooLoRED VOTERS.

William Lloyd Garrison, ex-Gov.
George S. Boutwell, and Col. Thomas
Wentworth Higginson. all of Boston
and we'll known to the negroes as we
as to all classes of people in the United
States, have issued an address 10 the
colored people, advising them to re-
nonnce the republican party, as it's na-
tional policy of Imperialism is dam
gerous to the future of the colored
| race. The address. which has just
been given out by the national demo-
cratic committee. follows:
Boston, Mass. To the Colored
People of the United States: We. the
undersigned, address you at one of the
most important points in your his
tory. II ever there was a war of
races in this world the war going on
the Philippine islands is precisely that
Yet if there is anything which the
color, race in this country has to
dread. and the white race also it is
Just such q war.
Every day in the Philippines is
already training our young American
soldiers to the kabit of thinking that
the white man, as such, is the rightful
ruler of all other men. This is seen,
for instance, in The fact that these
very soldiers in writing home letters
from the scat of war describe the in
habitants of the Philippines more aud
more constantly as 'niGgers, thus Civ
ing q new lease of life to a word
which was previously dying out
among us.
Every defender of the war in con-
sumed ground that the Filipinos are
unfit for freedom, although Admiral
Dewey at first desert bed them as more
hit for it than the Cubans; and Senator
Hoar describes them to be probably
better fitted than any race on the two
American continents south of our
selves.
In other words, freedom is to be-
come, for the new republican party, q
matter of complexion. II this doc
triue is TO prevail. what hope is there
for the colored race in the United
States? The answer is easy; there is
in that case no hope at all. In the
name of the old anti slavery senti-
ment, we call on you to resist this
great danger, even if you have, for
that purpose, to turn your backs on
the party you once had reason to love.
This danger can evidently not be
resisted by any further voting for
the republican party. In other days
that party freed the slaves and passed
to the United States con-
stitution for the protection OF those
who had been slaves. These amend-
ments are now being steadily set aside
and the republican party shows no
signs of raising a finger in their de-
Tense. There have been far more out
RACES on the American negro during
one term of Mckinley than under two
terms of Cleveland. On the other
hand. the southern democrats are at
least doing the colored race this ser
vice: that they as rule oppose the
nAtional policy of Imperialism. This
NAV seem an inconsistency. but it is
really very simple. The very fact of
their unwillingness to give equal po-
