On the same date as that set for the
assembling of the national democratic
convention in St. Louis, July 6. will meet
in that city what is believed will be the
largest convention of negroes ever held i'll
the United States. 1t is the purpose OF
the National Liberty party, as the organ
ization has been named, 10 place negro
candidates for President and Vice
President in nomination. The cha rn,an
of this new political organization predicts
that the ticket will poll half million
votes. 1t is said the failure of the Senate
to confirm the nomination of Crum as
Collector of the Port of Charleston has
prompted the colored voters of the North
to take active steps to secure recognition
through methods proposed by the Liberty
party.

Several of the leading republicans have
at various times expressed all opinion Of
William J. Bryan, and in terms that were
very complimentary TO him as a private
citizen. 1t remains for the little fellows
in the opposite party, the 'pennya-
liner" and the hired man of the corpora
tion-fed newspaper to throw mud at the
Nebraskan or the Commoner. 1t seems
to be the hirelings in both the old party
machines that make up faces and sneer
when his name is spoken, as though there
was an argument in smoker. If you
can trace the ugly cuss words" back 10
the sender. you will find they are not in
spired by an honest and honorable opin-
ion. They seem to be worded alike and
played on the same key; and we have
right to suspect that they are of the same
parentage-paid for. But it is the larger
men, the men of broad ideas, and who
still can come near to the common peo-
pie in thought and inspiration that makes
them leaders, and whose largeness of
heart, in spite of other faults, makes them
warm with kindness for the man of hon.
est purpose. who sees the right, and
knowing dares maintain, even though the
whole world is against him.
Two or three years ago, Senator E. o.
Wolcott. of Colorado. was quoted as say
ing to his republican friends of the SEN
ate You are greatly mistaken in Bryan.
He is patriot; and there is nothing he
would not sacrifice if it was for the good
of the country" MIR. Wolcott well knew
that Mr.. Bryan was above reproach in his
private life, and is great hearted and
well equipped type of the American who
did honor to the Yankee nation by his
presence in the courts of Europe. The
world at large knows the private life OF
Wolcott and Jim Laird, aud SO many
others. In fact ten-acre field of many
of our public men couldn't muster suf

Government Chemist Unable TO Sc
cure a Supply.
Albany, N. Y, Dec 17.-At the con-
sluding session Of the annual confer
snce of state sanitary officers, DR.. H.
w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
Of agriculture, denounced the use of
coal tar dyes for coloring butter, say
ing that while many of them have no
direct poisonous effect, their continued
consumption oyerburdens the kidneys.
he said:
''In the hygienic experiments which
we have conducted at Washington we
have been able until the present year
to secure by special order uncolored
butter for our use. The two firms
which supplied us with this butter in
former years when asked this year to
furnish the supply both declined on
the ground that the quantity made was
so small, simply the amount which we
ordered, that it did not pay them to
make it. For the past six weeks we
have sought in vain in the markets Of
Washington and in manufactures
nearby to secure a sufficient quantity
of uncolored butter for the use of our
hygienic table. This is certainly a sad
comment upon the condition Of affairs
In the United States"
