In November, 1874, the New York
1rtdu7e, quoted by the JOURNAL, said
There is only one way by which any man
in this country can fix his own wages, and
that is by becoming a member of Congress.
AS the same condition remains it is
difficult to see wherein arises the claim
to progress and prosperity"
In grace this condition is reckoned

From the auditorium at least $50
guests assembled to the banquet hall
Here, under the tasteful superintendent
of the gentle membership of the Order
of the Eastern Star, covers had been
laid for nearly 300. Arranged in
squares" adorned by large boquets of
chrysanthemums, and a beautiful car
nation accompanying each plate, the
tables and other bright equipment made
the hall a scene of festal beauty. A
corps of pretty women served the sup
per to brotherhood of the happlest
men ever assembled in Frost burg. The
menu comprised in profusion substan-
tials and delicacies of seasonable Sc
lection. In short, nothing was wanting

of African M. E. Church

CHICAGO. May 18.-"God never made a

black, but In their wanderings on the earth

and indifference-often with prejudice and
kate-upon their brothers. the negroes, who
have retained the color that God gave
them
Such was the declaration of the Rev. H
M. Turner. senior bishop of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, in an address
in Quinn Chapel before one of the sessions
of the ohurch's conference. The chapel was
packed with negroes who are leaders in the
religious work Of their race, and all ap-
plauded vociferously.
What we negroes need is more educa-
tfon." continued Bishop Turner. I'VE need
not only the various schools now under con-
troll of Our church. but we need proper in
