The ColOred Brother.

The troubles of the disrupted
Republicans continue to multiply.
The latest discordant note is from
the colored brother. At the
Belshazzar feast held at Cape
Girardeau recently not one negro
Republican was admitted. And
that gathering was addressed by
Hadley, Elvins and Crow, none OF
whom would have ever had a
"look-in" without the negro vote.
Negro leaders asked for the priv
ilege Of seats at the Cape Girar-
deau gathering but this request
was promptly turned down. The
negro vote gave the Republicans
every state Office they ever held
Without the $4,000 negro votes
what show would any Republican
have in Missouri? Hadley would
have been literally buried be-

privilege of voting. While they
may boast of their emancipation
from slavery, they have neveI

IT'S of thee that would sing,
With thy wooded hills and grassy dells
Where the violets come in spring.
Oh Arcadia the beautiful!

When summer spreads her mantle green
Over every hill and lea.
Oh Arcadia the beautiful
Thou art fairer to behold,
When autumn's sunburst splendor
Turn thy hills to red and gold.
Oh Arcadia the beautiful!
Thy praise is still unsung
Where winters snowy mantle
Ger all thy vale is flung.

In springs soft beauty or summer
