LET'S GET CLOSER TOGETHER.

The cohesiveness of the japanese,
which is brought so prominently be-
fore the American people at this time,
is much commented upon. There may
not be the same impetus to close re-
lationship in the negro race. but if we
could somehow bring it about it would
have undoubted advantages. Some
weeks ago we attended the meeting of
the Interstate Literary Association at
Omaha, and there met many distin-
guished men from Missouri Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska. While the papers
and musical numbers of high order,
best of all was the inspiration coming
from contact with master minds.
So it is that while such brother
hood as distinguishes the alient races
may not be ours, still we are not max
ing the best of what opportunity we
have. Let's get together. Let's get
in touch with the Interstate Literary.
Colorado has some commendable lit
erary societies. 1t has some splendid
men and women. They will doubtless
find a warm welcome at the hands Of
President j. G. Pegg and the associa-
tiOn.
1t is still fresh in our memory how
warmly Omaha was praised for its
open-handed hospitality on the occa-
sion Of the last meeting of the asso-
citation, and President Pegg. who at
that time was only chairman of the
Executive committee, was given the
thanks of the association by being
chosen for president. 1t may be this
great consideration will not come to
Colorado, but we can stretch our hands
across the prairies to our Missouri
valley brethren and be lifted up in
heart and be strengthened in purpose.

A NEW BOOK.

1t is an ambitious man, indeed, who
will attempt discussion of the rela-
tionship between the white and black
races in this country, with a hundred
straws arguing for one direction of
the wind and as many for the oppo-
site. Ceaseless change is going on
within the race and surrounding con-
ditiOns are by no means c1nOnstant.
So 1t Is that we welcome the attention
to "the problem" of the races keen
est and most exact mind. In his book,
Race Adjustment" Prof Kelly Miller
Of Howard University gives his es-
says on the negro in America. dis
cussing him from many standpoints.
Says the Book News Monthly:
"One finds here less extreme and
uncompromising attitude than that Of
Professor w. Z. B. Dubois, and a
larger horizon, higher complexity
Of insights, than in the severer prac-
ticality of Booker Washington In

varied. 1t touches history, poetry. ed

cial questions and biographical illus
tration. The book is real contribu-
ton to theme much meditated by
the Northern white men-but it is a
contribution this time from the most
Intellectual negro author living"

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE
CoLORED DEMOCRATS.

1t is only few months ago that
Dubois Trotter Waldron, contingent
were arguing support of Democracy
as the short road to better political
advantages for the negro. They may
be right, but SO far the support of
colored voters to Democracy seems
to have served no purpose. Though
the strongest argument made for it
was the opposition of a Republican
president and Congress to giving a
square deal to the negro soldiers dis
charged from the army, now that a
bill has been agreed upon acceptable
to both the president and Senator For
aker, the Democratic senators have
set out to kill it by filibustering. God
certainly has cursed the Democratic
party with the least possible amount
of common sense. After sacrificing
its opportunity to win us over last
fall, by stupid silence. it now displays
open opposition to a measure which
it was supposed to favor.
Negroes who honestly supported
Bryan and his party must either re-
pudiate the actions of Democratic
congressman or must persuade them
to change their attitude. While we
have not agreed with colored support
ers of Democracy, we have accorded
them credit for good intentions. They
must now acquit themselves as honest
men, and that means that either they
will make Democracy come across" !"
or they will go the same limits of de-
nunciation OF it as they have of the
Republican party.

Tuesday morning, as Mrs Rosa
Froelich rose to dress by the stove,
as was her wont, she found the room
on fire, and a destructive blaze
threatened. Mrs A BRAN ofsky had
started the fire, and then went down
stairs to prepare breakfast, when
she was SUNNI oned by the cries of
Mrs Froelich that the house was on
fire. The dwelling is situated on
Broadway. Mrs BRAN ofsky hastened
to the scene, and by the aid of a
bucket of water and a sprinkler.
managed to extinguish the blaze. 1t
destroyed the curtains, scorched the
wall paper, and damaged few
articles in the room. DIR. and Mrs
Gall, who live next door. heard the
alarm, and rushed over and rendered
assistance in putting out the fire.
The house is insured, and James
Meehan the agent, promptly had the
room repapered throughout in settle
ment of the loss.

presents we're allowed to be placed on

although this concession was taken
advantage of in but few instances.
There was good attendance of

present was made happy in the receipt
of some token of remem brance,- "a

Stephen Leoni jr., and Miss Georgia
Nail, young lady of Grizzly Flat,
in FL Dorado county, were married
on Tuesday afternoon, December %,
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs W. Ii.
Seeley, on Mob Hill, Placerville.
The Rev. h. j. Brabuer performed
the ceremony. Mr. Leoni is engaged
in the cattle business, spending the
summer months in the mountain
ranges near Grizzly Flat, and the
winter season on his valley range in
the neighborhood of Clay station in
Sacramento county. The newly
welded couple have fitted up home
at the latter place. The groom is
we'll known in this county, having
spent most of his life on the farm

Quail Turned Loose.

Chez Arditto received last Thurs
day eight dozen quail from Game
Commissioner Vogelsang, to be turn
ed loose for stocking purposes in
different parts of this county. 1t
was his intention to keep the birds
for a few weeks, OF until the close of
the open season. If they were turned
loose at once they would be liable to
fall before the hunters, as it was i'm
possible to distinguish the native
quail from the imported article. So
an effort was made to hold them in a
wire Enclosure on Court street. But
this scheme proved fiat failure. The
birds in their efforts to regain their
liberty would fly against the wire
barricades and cripple or kill them
selves. So Arditto concluded to turn
them loose at once, ms the best thing
to do under the circumstances. 1t is
verySprohahle that numbers of these
imported birds will be killed before
the open season is over. Most of the
quail have already been turned loose.
From long confinement, they have
become comparatively tame, and also
being young birds, cannot fly very
we'll, and so become an easy pry to
the hunters.
