DENVER'S DECORATIONS.

The municipal authorities, bust
ness men, merchants and individu-
ais, besides local fraternities of
Elks are in strong competition to
show the visiting convention their
interest and enterprise by decorat-
ing the city in honor of their Elks'
convocation. Denver, always beau
tiful, is made doubly so when her
citizens make up their mind to go
on dress parade. The city is fast
filling up with the antlered herds
from the North, East and South
and by the time this paper reaches
our reders her doors will have
opened to thousands of visitors.
The largest reception of visitors
outside of the G. A. R. last year is
being looked for and they will be
well cared for. This brings to our
minds the attempt to prevent Ne
gro members of fraternal orders
from wearing pins and emblems of
the order and causing their arrest
as was done in New York City a
few weeks ago when two colored
men wearing the emblems of Elks
of which independent order they
were members being hailed into
court, but on trial were discharged
also writs to prevent Negroes from
wearing badges of the fraternity
were denied on the ground that as
long as Negroes are denied admis-
sion to these orders that they have
right to organize lodges of their
own and to use the words and en-
blems as the occasion demands.
From time immemorial Negroes
have belonged to all orders, but not
until these later days have they
been objected to sharing benefits es-
tablished by them Had this objec-
ton been sustained by the courts
and the writ issued it would not be
long before some supersenesitive
white man would have objected to
Negroes being members of the
church of their choice or resident of
the city because this same church
was organized or city founded by
some member of the Caucasian race.
There is as much good reason for
one as the other and both should
fail as they have done because
neither are established upon sound
principles of justice. The Negroes
of the Improved Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks ought to
wear their badges and display their
emblems and with the freedom be-
coming those who are proud of their
order. knowing that they are pro-
tected by the courts from any inter
ference, the same as the Masons,
Odd Fellows or Woodmen. Den
ver's welcome is to be broad and
not confined to Elks of one color.

OSAWATOMIE CELEBRA
TION.

On August 30th the State of
Kansas will in a fitting and pic
turesque way celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary of the battle of John
Brown at Osawatomie, where. on
a low hill at the west Of the town
by that name with forty-one
armed men, he gave bloody battle
to 400 Missourians and won the
day. If the shots of Bunker Hill
eighty years previous were heard
around the world, the musketry
of Osawatomie were heard wher-
ever slavery hydra headed power
was intrenched and not until all
slaves on American soil were free
did the reverberations from John
Brown s musketry cease.
John Brown has been well
called the Scipio Africanus of the
New World and Osawatamie, "The
Concord Battle" of the victory
against slavery.
In Lawrence, Kansas, about the
first of last month, workmen ex-
cavating for building purposes
came across rusty printing press
and decomposed bundles of papers
on the very spot where fifty years
before, 1.-The Herald of Freedom. !"
a newspaper published by John
Brown, was destroyed by order of
the United States marshal in 1856
1t is now nearly fifty years since
John Browns body has been
mouldering in the clay, but his
great soul goes marching on. How
ever rash and misguided his meth
DDS may have been one thing may
be certain, the free soil of Kan
sas has never been tread by the
foot of the slave.
The best speakers and writer's of
the race may not be agreed as to
whether John Brown was a fan
attic or a hero, but one thing is true
nobody ever accused him if being
half-hearted in the cause of free
dom. He suffered hunger, cold,
dungeon and death for the Negro s
liberty. Stern, relentless, uncom-
promising he brought to issue and
to victory cause which he held
dearer than his own life.
Colorado being a next door
neighbor to Kansas we can share
in the great achievements of the
free soil patriot. The Negroes of
this state should unite with the
freedmen of Kansas in celebrating
this notable event. Many of the
magazines of this month contain
special articles on John Brown and
every Negro student ought to ac-
quaint himself with the history of
those stirring times.
