BOOKER 7. WASHINGTON S MEMORIAL

Our brethren in Virgins seem to
be queer lot, yet we do not doubt
that they mean we'll. AS for instance,
the memorial prepared by Booker T.
Washington for submission to the
Alabama State Constitutional Con-
vention, is published in Virginia as
coming from committee composed of
Giles B Jackson, W. F. Graham and
r. 7. Hill, who are given credit in the
Virginia newspapers for having drawn
the memorial and the gratuitous in
formation is offered that it was sub
mitted to Mr.. Washington for ap'
prOval and suggestion. Our Virginia
brethren doubtless mean we'll. but one
never loses anything by giving credit
where credit is just due. Our forces
should be united and harmonious at
this critical stage of proceedings, but
the gentlemen should be willing to al
low Mr. Washington whatever glory or
blame that may attach to the work of
his brain. The memorial was a great
document and will have a place in
the history of the suffrage question.

THIS OUGHT TO SETTLEH

A report has been going the rounds
that the Hon. John P. Green, the
Ohio leader, has designs upon the of
fee of Register of the Treasury or Re.
corder of Deeds, now so capably filled
by Messrs. Lyons and Cheatham.
There is nothing in the rumor, and
those who are doing so much talking
about it ought to stop, Mr.. Green
gives it out publicly that he has not
been, is not ow, and has no intention
of being candidate for either of the
aforesaid Offices or for any other Of
fee held by a representative of the
Negro race. Mr.. Green is an honest
man, with an unblemished reputation
for veracity and plain speech, and
this emphatic and unequivocal state
ment ought to settle the matter for
once and all.

the first day, on the 8th wss the Chi
nese procession in Melbourne, I cannot

amusing, their costumes are of many

but did not. On the 9Th went again
to Melbourne, at 10 q. M. to witness the
procession of their great men and their
wives in the colonies of Australia.
Dtessed up in uniforms and driving in
their neat carriages, His Royal High
ness the Duke and Dutchess Of York
and Cornwall came along at last, going
to open the first Parliament by reading
the messages from the King, which
makes these colonies united Australia

The writer has seen the Duke four
times and the Duchess three times.

men on board, aLls to teach Us every

I. Kandiyohi county appears to be- a
faYorite stamping ground for swind-
lers. Last weeks Gazette tells of "a
new one, which is the old tightening
rod swindle under another name.
Two men drove up to Kandiyohi
farmers house last week and showed
him an elaborate ornament which
they wished to place on his barn for
advertising purposes. The ornament:
was of course very expensive but in
consideration for the advertising that
they would get they would let him
have one for one dollar. The orna-
ment was to be delivered by another
agent and the farmer signed the con-
tract to accept it when it was brought
around. When the delivery was
made he was surprised to find that
he had agreed to pay large sum in
each case fer the arrows, the rods
holding the affair to the building and
the braces. The total amount called
for was over 1900, but he compromised
for $75, giving his note for the
amount, Now he is trying to find
out whether or not he will be forced
to pay the note, but as it has passed
into the hands of innocent purchasers
the chances are that his gullibility
will cost him about $75. Benson
