And, by the way, Thomas. of

some of the white dailies for an at

Thomas represent? What has he

Too many colored men and TOO

Foraker's name as a cloak to hide
their petty political grating, The
man who vii use Senator Foraker's
name as a cloak to shield his graft

condemnation. But, we regret to
admit, there are alot of them these
days.
What a sad commentary on in
teligent Negroes of Ohio when an
ignoramus like William Coble was
sent from Columbus, Ohio to Phil
adelphia to represent the Taft man
agement We can hardly believe
that the Taft people would dare
insult decent and intelligent colored
men in Ohio by recognizing a man
of Coble's ignorance. Certainly
there must be a mistake somewhere.
Possibly Coble was simply four
flushing and represented nothing.

A WARNING.

u w ANN IN ".
The New York World printed
the following editorial, few days
since, under the caption of "a
Warning to the South" which de-
eerves to be read by all Negroes:
'When the World described
he Ohio platform as "a warning
- the South, we were told by va
~ious Southern newspapers that the
'epublican party would never Sc
~.Ously undertake to enforce Sec
.;on OF the Fourteenth Amend
"'ent, and that this newspaper was
'faking itself ridiculous ~ constru-
ing a political bluff as a threat.
Southern Democrats are living
7 FOOLS paradise if they think
.Rere is no serious purpose among
'epublican leaders to reduce the
9uthern representation. This is
mparatively a new issue, but we
ave yet to hear a word of cen
IRE from Republican sources
cainst the Fourteenth Amendment
ank of the Ohio platform.
And why should not Republicans
1vor the reduction of Southern
presentation? Such action would
; = in accord with the history and
editions of their party. The Con-
tuition, according to their inter
rotation, demands such reduction.
The reduction of Southern rep
= sentation would so weaken and
sipple the Democratic party that
publican control of the Govern
mt would be assured for the next
o decades. Political eXpediency
one would support the program
e. the Ohio platform and the Kei-
lr bill.
If the Southern States expect
8. stay rid of the Negro vote and
lin tain their present basis of rep
5entation, they must rehabilitate
-..e Democratic party in the North
I'D West. The Ohio platform is
hat the World said it was - "a
: arning to the South"
The South is not obliged to

"en to control the National Con-
~lion, if they permit the nomina-
II of Mr.. Bryan,thereby sending
s party to disastrous defeat,
ey will have to take the conse-
crcnces of their own folly"
What the New York World says
my we'll constitute a warning to
s South, in view of the fact that
ready Rhode Island and Illinois
re adopted the Ohio suffrage
ank. AS on other questions, there

Forecast of a Bishop.

One of the bishops of 1880 left the impress of his
expectations the record of the Mormon church,
while preaching to the faithful He congratulated
his hearers that the church had then been organized
for fifty years and it had already achieved great
wealth and power. Filled with enthusiastic hope
encouraged by the circumstances, he entered the
realm of the future, saying:
We look forward with perfect confidence to the
day when will hold the reins of the United States
government
Twenty-eight years later, the Mormon church does
not exactly hold the reins of government, but it
enjoys offensive and defensive alliance with the
party that is driving the governmental steeds and
is able to influence their direction against the desire
of any American citizen who does not belong to
the Mormon church the Republican party So
the prophecy of the bishop is partially fulfilled.
Today" said this bishop of 1880, eve hold the
balance of power in Idaho, we rule Utah abso-
lutey, and in a short time we will hold the balance
of power in Arizona and Wyoming" Utah and
Idaho have been retained and Wyoming and Arizona
gained and the Mormon church has been extended
into Colorado New Mexico, Montana Oregon and
Washington, according to promise in the same bsh-
ops sermon
Really, this bishop was more of a prophet than
Joseph Brigham or the latter Joseph, for he said
unerringy at that 1880 meeting
All this will build up for us political power which
will in time compel the homage of the demagogues
of the country. Our vote is solid and will remain
1t will be thrown where the most good will
be accomplished for the church Then, in
political crisis, the two present political parties will
bid for support
This handwriting the wall has already been
verified, the Republican party being the high bidder,
although Demagogues Nugent, Perky, Pence and
others foolshly persume that they overturn the
deal. Church and state pretty strongly rivited
together and be torn apart only by the strong
hand of genuine American citizenship, rising
perior to condition of political slavery.

of Idaho, rather than the product of licen-
tous deceptive ornery outlaw and arch criminal from
adjoining state who pretends to speak, by nspra
ton from God, under the guise of a religion.
The merits or dement's of the particular case
do not enter into the equation. The only question
is-"Do the Mormons want ?" If so, they must
be appeased
Such a system is reflection from the deepest
depths of inexcusable degeneracy

CHURCH DEDICATION,

Sunday was red letter day for the
church here, Tor the old meeting house,
with its sixty-si years of standing, was
dedicated in the rites Of the Methodist
church, whose many pastors had occupied
it for so many years.
In its early years the eloquence OF q
Trafton, afterwards famous as writer
and preacher, moved the early settlers to
higher flight Of thought and feeling, and
the cratic Lufkin, in his No. II boots,
visited his people and stirred them TO
tesrs or laughter with his peculiar origi-
nality and wit.
Here Theodore Hill, the rough, mag
netic hero OF the pulpit, used to draw
immence audiences, and in later years
some OF the brightest young minds OF the
church--the Frohocks, the Baileys, the
Garlands, the Stanleys- have in turn
preached the gospel and attended the
seminary, and later fitted themselves for
larger work.
Sunday the sky was canopied with
heavy clouds and drizzling rain falling;
but notwithstanding the people had q long
distance and muddy road to travel, at
1880 the church was nearly filled with an
expectant congregation. People who
hadn't crossed the threshold OF the old
church, except on rare occasions, were
there to see how the old structure looked
in its new suit, to hear what the distin-
guished divine had to say, and to partici-
pate in the inequalities to which they
bad been invited.
1t is a fine thing, once in a while ht
least, to have something that moves
the mass with common impulse to q
common centre, il that something is OF q
high order. Its influence cannot fail to
be broadening and uplifting.
In the forenoon Rev. Mr.. Price, OF Bucks
port, gave an excellent practical discourse
on the ''Tesrs of Christ. A bountiful
tv, he hon IN
which everybody was invited. At 2
o'clock Presiding Elder Haskell took
charge OF the services, reading in most
impressive manner the dedicstory cere-
monies of the church.
Rev. David Bean, of the Bangor theo-
logical seminary, gave An intensely inter-
esting and powerful discourse on "What
Christ is to His Believers. The large and
genial spirit OF the man that shines
through his discourse, combined with his
fresh and original way OF treating his
subject, makes him q preacher whom it is
q rare treat to listen to. He gave another
sermon in the evening on the "Begin-
nings Of the Gospel, in which he por-
trsyed in = most dramatic and vivid
manner the conversion and character of
Christ's first disciples.
The exercises were greatly enjoyed by
all, and must have been very gratifying to
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Bryant. who has
labored arduously with hands and pen to
accomplish the Improvements that have
been made on the church.
