The above is from the Beacon of
April 9th.
1t is reported that Rev. Laslett at the Presby-
terrain church last Sunday. perpetrated an uncalied
for. unmerited SANDER upon Frank Porter, the
druggist who recently moved tn Great Bend from
Newton. What was the object OF The retiring
dominic it Is hard to conjecture.
The above is the comment in the
DEMOCRAT of March goth which the
transient sensationalist, who parts his
name in the middle and partsN with
his priestly prefix when going off upon
railroad trip, took exception to.
Laslett called at the DEMOCRAT Office
last week, when we already had all
the matter in type that we could put
in that issue. We told him we would
not publish his article without giving
it more thought. and especially we
would not publish it without making
further comment on it and his uncalled
for reflections upon Mr.. Porter from
the pulpit. He said he did not want i

MONEY IN SPUDS.

The following, copied from the
Lebanon Criterion, indicates that
farmers in that vicinity have found
something besides wheat that may
be turned TO money:
Frank Hall, who lives two
miles south of town, last spring
planted IS acres of potatoes, from
which he has just completed dig
ging and marketing a little over
1900 bushels. The price received
was 80 cents per bushel. The cost
of digging, sackiug and hauling 10
town was about 7 or cents per
bushel, leaving Mr.. Hall little
more than 20 cents for his labor
anu rent OF land. A little figuring
shows that Mr.. Hall has realized
5000 from IS acres of potatoes.
These are not Mr.. Halls figures,
but they are vouched for by man
who helped to dig and sack the
potatoes,

Race Enterprises.

The Colored American takes pleasure
in presenting to its readers portrait OF
oue Of the business stands conducted
nv Mr.. A. II. T, Walker OF this city.
Mr. Walker has number OF stands
and does q paying business, He Is
nroduet Of the South and belongs to
that class which makes its way to the
ton regardless of what the public thinks
oft. He has a college education and
graduated at the head OF his class IN
one of the Pharmaceutical Schools OF
New y ork city; but finding little to 90
in his professional work, and having
the responsibility of family, he came
10 Washington and opened up what is
known as a boot black stand" So
we'll has he done his work d so salts
factoTily has he pleased the public that
today his name is household WOro
and he can count his patrons by the
hundreds. The portrait above is apic
ture Of his main stand opposite the 3.
& D. depot, but he has other stands
which do quite as much business and
which serve The public just as well as
the original stand. He employs large
number of men, and, being chemist
himself manufactures his own black,
iDgs,, p0lishes and the various tints
that be uses for public trade SO &C COM
plisned Is he in this work that many
people, not only in this city, but from
other cities make it q point TO pay him
visit and purchase his special prepa'
TatiOns. Among his customers may be
numbered Congress men, Senators,
Judges and men representing all OF the
trades and professions in the city.
His success IS an example for young
men who are idle and waiting for 0p-
portunlties. Mr.. Walker does a bust
ness of nearly 81, 900 year and has
healthy bank account. He is asplen'
did example Of what a man can do who
will and who dares TO do. He stands
well IN the community and his word Is
his bond. 1t is with especial pride
that The Colored American was so
fortunate as to secure this photograph
Tor its thousands Of readers. Mr..
Walker is on top and The COlored
American is proud of his success which
has been go deservedIy achieved.

a CHAP FER FROM "ARABIAN NIGHTS"
In these times when history is being
made at such rapid gait, we are con,
fronted with frequent Implications
of the old adage that ''poIitics make
strange bedfellows." M. M. Parker
and w. Calvin Chase, for instance!
They are now hand and glove-but it
was not always SO. There are those who
will remember that once upon time
the said Parker was District Com
missi oner. Chnse, the SAID Chase, was
food inspector. Parker gave Chase
the double cross''-"s "scratchedn him.
50 to speak, and the Office of food in.
spector knew him no more. Ard WHY?
A certain white man who could net
make living at anything else, needed
the place and Parker, who never had
any use for Negro after the required
axe had been ground, put Chase out in
the cold world and invited he " hite
man to the radiator. That this act was
a piece OF cruel injustice goes without
saying. Chase had done valuable party
service and needed the job. His wife
and family were just as deserving of
consideration as that of the white man.
But Parker didn't give kittyn about |
such small matter as a cOlOred map,s
welfare when one of his own blood |
asked for help. And now Parker and |
Chase have made up! By what species
of legerdemain this marvellous feat of
reconciliation was accomplished, we
will not undertake to say Chase is
supporting Park er for delegate to the
Philadelphia convention, and Parker
well, you'll have to watch him. Truly

HIS OWN DRESSER.
bow Lerd Salisbury Appeared When
He Fad no Valet

Our London correspondent supplies an
amusing and characteristic story of Lord
Salisbury. 1t is known that the premier
is most careless in his dress, and that he
is much too serious in his mind and oc-
equations to have much regard for the
merely ceremonial side OF life.
For some years this failing produced
no evil results, for Lord Salisbury had q
faithful valet, who looked after him; but
one unhappy day the valet left, and
Lord Salisbury was reduced to his own
resources. 1t was levee day, and the
minister was in the midst Of serious bust
ness up to the last moment He rushed
home, turned out large bundle of uni
forms, of which, of course, he has Il
quantity, and took the first that came to
his hand, with the astonishing result
that he wore Il coat that belonged to the
Elder Brethren of Trinity house, dep
uty heutenant's pair Of trousers and a
hat of the Royal Archers. Even that
was not the worst. He wore his garter
on the wrong side and things reached
their climax in the waistcoat, which.
dating from an earlier and less robust
period of his life, left between it and the
trousers what was once called, in the
case of another pariamentarian, "a
lucid interval. New York Commercial
