A negro preacher Of Georgia, in a
recent sermon said of his race:
Il have decided that the only way
to get rid of the Jim Crow car is to
get rid Of the Jim Crow negro. II |
could use 20o,OO bars OF soap On the
unwashed negroes that travel on
trains and hang around depots Iwouid
solve the negro problem about 20 per
cent. Lazy, ragged, bare-feet fellows,
longing for silver slippers and long
white robes and counting themselves
worthy: neglecting to provide home
for their families ON the earth. and
yet claiming a house not made with
their hands in Gods heaven! The
white man is tr ling to make this earth
blossom as a rose, anc the negro is
getting ready to die. The white man
is organizing business enterprises and
the negroes organizing societies tt
turn out at their funerals. Now ob.
iect to a 800 funeral for a fifty cent
negro. The negro eats up and dresses
away all he make. One square mea]
on Sunday sweep; away al! the wages
Of the week He reminds me OF the
mule which ate the shipping tag from
his leg. An old negro exclaimed: Gee
dat mule dun eat up his whar he's
gwine!' That's what the negro does
he eats up his living.'

PLATINUM.
Quantit les of tho Valuable Metal Found
in British Columbia.

in British Columbia.
Consul Dudley sends the following
from Vancouver: The superintend-
ent of the assay office here has report
ed to the press that among the speci-
mems of gold brought to him to be
refined, he has found considerable
quantities of platinum, and he is un-
der the impression that the miners
do not know platinum when they see
it. In all the placer mining districts
of British Columbia and the Yukon
territory, large amounts of platinum
and kindred metal: have been thrown
away by miners who did not know the
value of the product. With the pres
ent price of platinum, it will pay pros
pectors to be on the lookout for this
metal, which doubtless exists in con-
siderable quantities in this province.
Platinum is not found in ledges, so far
as is known, excepting in one place in
the world. 1t is found in black sand
containing large percentage of mag
netic iron ore and a varying quanti-
tY of gold.

Trusts and Tariff Reform.

Three Of the nations conspicuous
democratic characters, all possessing
adverse views, and who have hereto
fore been classed as political enemies,
have agreed on one thing the prin-
cipal issues of the next presidential
election.
These three-Grover Cleveland,
VIM, J. Bryan and Henry Watterson
have each played an important part
in the political battles of the past.
When Mr.. Cleveland was first the
nominee for president and tariff re-
form was the issue, he was supported
by Mr.. W&oterson and by Mr.. Bryan
and by very faction of the party.
He was elected.
When eight years later Mr.. Cleve-
land was again nominee, the issue
was the same, we all remember the
COurier-Journal and it's tariff for
revenue only fight. The Nebraskan
was also active and made a number of
free trade" speeches.
OleVcldDu, bryan uI1u HdutCloOA1
were then together, and all other
good democrats were agreed. The
only democratic victories since the
war have been won on the issue of
tariff reform, and it is now believed
among those who have given the
question their attention, that the
only remedy against the oppression of
the trusts is revision of the tariff
Where trusts have been formed on
necessaries of life produced in this
country, it is the democratic idea to
reduce the tariff and force competition
with foreign markets.
AS an illustration Of the practic-
ability of this theory, it is only neces'
sary to compare the meat markets OF
European cities with prevailing prices
in Chicago and St. Louis. Beef car
be laid down in New York City, after
paying high duty, at about the same
price that the Kansas City packing
houses charge for the same grades.
Take off the tariff and the price would
be reduced Immediately.
The same is true of many Othel
articles of necessity the prices OF
which are controlled by the trusts -

Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as poor FIRE under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
a step, and impure blood is mother to
large percentage of human ills. DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both Po6s Snds4 aRa ana for aod
and medicine. It is the best combi-
nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to its endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find q substitute.

scraaiiil and pretty soon somebody tuftied
up the light in the sitting room, and the
old man Crocker, dressed in his night
gown, and with heavy curtain pole in
his hands, appeared in cautious, cronch-
ing attitude before the bedroom door.
Jim and the other fellow had just
tumbled in heap in one corner of the
room, and as the light was turned up Jim
called out: Father, if that's you, for
mercy sake come in here and see what
this is.' Then Mr. Crocker brought in
the light. and he never saw such sight
in all his life.
"Jim had tumbled on his back between
the bureau and the wall. The other fell
low sat astride of him gripping him by
the arms, and if he wasn't ridiculous
spectacle there never was one. His face
was daubed black with the SCOT, with
here and there a white patch that gave
him an awful look. His nightgown was
ripped up the back and spotted with SCOT
patches, and his whiskers and hair were
all teusled up and filled with mixture
of cornmeal and SCOT He was painting
for breath, raking his throat, and trying
to blow the SCOT out of his mouth.
.'For the life of him Mr.. Croker
couldn't at first think what it was sitting
there on top Of Jim, and he was nearly
on the point of taking crack at it with
the curtain pole. Then when he saw it
was the fellow who had come the day
before he simply roared; anybody would
have shouted that saw him.
Mr.. Crocker finally explained to him
that the one he was sitting on was his
son Jim, and then told Jim who the
other fellow was, but he couldn't imagine
how the old lady's son came to be all
painted up with SCOT and cornmeal the
way he was. But when Jim told a little
of his side of the story, it all soon came
out, and as usual Herme was found to be
at the bottom of it.
''The old lady and her son left early
the next morning in highly indignant
state. 1t didn't matter that they were
profusely apologized to; the sons dignity
had suffered such a humiliation that he
wouldn't stay minute longer.
GAS for Herme, there was disposition
to take really serious measures with him
that time. They talked of having him
find some other place to live. But
Herme, seeing how it was, became very
meek and penitent about it; at least he
pretended to, said he'd carried it too far,
that he had got done, etc., and they let
him off once more" THE american Boy.

HOIORS FOR L[N|HAN
Rector for St. Mary's Church in
Marshalltown Promoted to
Rural Dean.
Deanery Will Comprise Parishes
OF Marshall. Story and Har-
din Counties.
Places Marshalltown in an I'm
portant Position in Church
Circles.

AT a formal meeting of Archbishop
keane and his consultors in Dubuque
Rev. NJ. c. Lehman, the rector of st.
Mary's church, of Marshalltown, was
promoted to the dignity of rural dean
The new deanery of Marshalltown will
comprise the three counties of Hardin,
Story and MARSHALL.
The dignity of rural dean is next in
rank to that of the archbishop of the
diocese. His official duties are to con-
secrate chalices and other sacred yes
sells that are used in Catholic worship;
to dedicate new churches and schools;
to inspect the business affairs of all the
parishes in his jurisdiction at stated
times; and finally, to preside at annual
conferences, when all the priests of the
deanery are assembled to discuss theo-
logical questions and church affairs. 1t
will thus be seen that the position Is
one of Importance and responsibility.
The many friends of Very Rev. Dean
Lenihan will rejoice In his promotion,
and know that he will discharge the
duties of his new Office most accepta-
bly,.
1t is a splendid thing for the city to
have a new deanery of the Catholic
church located here. as 1t places Mar
shalltown, in the eyes of church men, in
the same class of cities as Cedar Rap
ids, Sioux City and Des Moines.
