During the progress OF the Nashville,
Tenn, Exposition, [ visited Sabbath
evening colored church on Cedar
street, where a grand rally was in pro
gress. In about thirty five mInu es the
brethren and sisters deposited over 5000
on the table in dollar bills, halves,
quarters, dimes and nickels, with the
usual amount OF pennies and suspen der
buttons. What that congregation did
then, II, and other CONGREGATIONS
throughout the country can do now,
even though they do not raise such q
large sum, The cause that needs de-
Tending, needs cash, and if we show a
disposition to raise 1t among ourselves
the white man, who Is mighty clan
nish and very human, will have a great
deal more respect for US than he will
have if we ask him to contribute money
to help US fight white men in the
courts, for our rights. Many will of
course contribute on general principles,
If asked 20 do so, but this is an object
that concerns the Negro particularly,
and if he wins the fight by the use of
his own money, he can talk more elo
quently over bis victory after the battle
shall have been fought and won.
This question Of "Righte" is the
most important question OF the present
century. When the Negro is denuded
of his political rights by one state, or a
half dozen, and makes no concerted
effort to regain them, he discovers to
those who are Systematically plotting
and scheming to make him nonenti
ty in law, and in fact his absolute un-
worthiness to possess them. If, on the

Gave Him a Touch of High Life.

A man by the name of Booker
was making the air blue last Fri
day with curses and foul language,
when Deputy Sheriff Sisson took
him in charge, putting him in the
cooler over night and bringing
him up before Judge Blood Sat
urday. Judge Blood gave him
some good advice together with
$25 fine and costs. In conclusion
he told the man that the next
time he vas brought there for q
like offence he would get $50, and
the next time 500, and that il
would be a good plan for him to
whisper some of these things into
the ears of his companions.
This is a step in the right di.
rection and if our people will re-
port the cases that come under
their notice it will put a check on
a great deal of she foul language
heard on our streets.

A Rough Riders Pleasure.

Twritten by some young people out for a rough
ride.l
Come along get you ready,
Don't let your voices be so loud,
And when you hit the saddle
Let your horse begin to crowd.
With two laddles side by side
And a lady in between,
We will make as lovely a crowd
AS you have ever seen.
While we ride along swiftly,
With Buster for a crank,
We will spur up our horses
And ride up in the rank.
While going across the prairie
We spied an "Uncle-hop,"
W. dropped steel into our horses
And the guns begin to pop.
While climbing a steep mountain.
Two began to lag behind,
We threw heel dust in their eyes
Til they were nearly blind.
When we reached the top most
summit.
These two Int out for a race,
The way their bronchoes covered
ground,
It made a glorious chase.
When we reached the Stockwell
sheep camp
And the sheep began to blat,
Ben picked up his long dropped
And says, Lads, what is that?''
There were only eight of ours
there.
So the boss himself told US,
So we turned our faces homeward
Without making any fuss.
AS we left the camp behind us
Two lads opened wide the gates,
The others rode on slowly,
Not once thinking they onght
to wait.
W. had just arrived home safely
And mother dear did think
The coffee can was empty
There was nothing there to
drink.
So we thank the neighbors kindly
For the coffee we got there,
Lads, we never shall forget
That our riders there are fair.

The Cause of Famine.

India is a country not quite
half as large as the United States,
with four times its population.
These 300, 100000 people must be
fed from their own crops, as there
is, relatively, no manufacturing
resources to buy food with. There
are parts of India with a popula-
ton of 1000 people to the square
mile; and there are millions of
farm laborers, Migrants, gypsies,
and nondescript classes, whose
means of living, even in times of
plenty, are inscrutable. In a nor
NAL year the country al a whole,
produces a little more food than ia
actually necessary to support its
people. But the crops are de-
pendent Oh the monsoons-.tne
southwest monsoon i'll the begin.
ming of summer, and the north
east monsoon in the winter. If
these periodic rains are late, or
are insufficient in quantity, troub-
lie comes, and the spring and win
ter crops of wheat, barley, and
pulses in the north, and of rice
and millets in the south, begin to
suffer. When the monsoons fail
absolutely, there is restitution in
the affected district, and when a
persistent succession of failures
and partial failures occurs, there
comes a great and terrible fam
inc, like that the country is now
groaning under. Since the first
great famine of which there are
records devastated the land in

Bengal alone, India has scarcely
passed a decade free freln scarcity

That Grand Encampment Shelter.

Now that ground has been broken for
the erection of a smelter at Grand En-.
campment we trust the Leader will be
forgiven b, Editor Crawford for what it
said on that subject in reply to the dis.
%paraging remarks of the Saratoga Sun.
As to the question OF coal it is only
twenty miles to a coal vein, we are re-
liably informed.-Leader.
The Leader. evidently regards the
Grand Encampment smelter as a sure
thing. We have seen some tbings-es-
pecially sure ~things-fall sometimes. 1t
seems to US that we saw something in
the Cheyenne p apers several years ago
about a smelter-another sure thing
which finally vent up in smoke. We
also have a faint recollection that this
town had a "sure thing" on a railroad
last year, the Wyoming Southern. that
failed also.
When we see the smoke from the
Grand Encampment smelter obscuring
the heavens and the ore rolling in to be
treated we shall begin to have conf
dence in the Grand Encampment smel.
ter, but not until then. As for the weir
OF coal only twenty miles away from En-
campment we would like to ask the
Leader why, that being the case. the
Encampment people are hauling coal
from the mines 90 miles north of this
place.
1t is a very good plan to wait until
you are out OF the woods, Nj. Slack, be.

ject of this kind.
