COL. WILLIAM RANDOLPH
C0WAN will run for alderman
in the second ward.
(Coneluded on page II

1t may be interesting to state that
last Thursday evening a delegation of
one hundred Colored women called on
Mr.. Cowan at his home, $3.50 Forest
avenue, to request him not to run with
no other object in view than to defeat
Hon. Oscar DePriest and make it more
than possible to elect a White man to
the city council. The ladies claim that
when they were ushered into his finely
furnished drawing room that he was
reclining on a sofa; that he would not
honor their presence to the extent of
sitting up straight SO that they would
be able to look at him square in the
face or in his eyes while they were en-
gagged in conversation with his lordship;
that at the end Of their pleading with
him not to run as an independent can
didate and blast the hopes of the great
majority Of the Colored people residing
in the second ward Of securing q Col
ore6 alderman at this time after they
had been manfully fighting with that
object in view for the past twenty-six
years, that he very plainly informed
them, 50 some Of the ladies claim, that
che had nothing for the Niggers" to
do, that he cared nothing about them
and that the rich White people resid-
ing in and out Of the second ward who
never at heart wanted to see a Col
ored man elected to the city council
would look after his interest and east
their votes for him.
It Is said that Attorney Charles z.
Ward, part law partner of Captain
Louis B. Anderson, win manage the
Colored end of the aldermanic contest
for Mr.. COwan; that Captain Anderson,
who has already pledged his word and
honor since the primaries that he would
Loyalty support the successful candi-
date in that eight-eornered fight, Hon.
Oscar DePriest, win stand around and
look wise, at the same time holding his
sharp ears close to the ground so as to
be able to detect just which way the
political winds are blowing.
It Is eontended that two headquar-
tiers win be opened up for Mr.. Cowan,
one on State street in the black belt,
especially for that class Of Colored men
who are in favor of free beer and free
whisky; that the other headquarters
VIII be located on east 31st street,
among that class Of Whites who are
bitterly opposed to permitting q Col
ored man to represent them and their
kind IN the city council; that q ten
days. aidermanic campaign viii be
made, the Likes of which has never
been behsld in the second ward; that
easy money viii flow like water; that
. hand-to-hand fight win be waged be-
tween the followers Of Messrs. CoWan
and DePriest; that desperate effort
win be put forth to defeat Mr.. De-
Priest and to pun down Congressman
Martin B. Madden and to lessen his
influence and power in local and ma
tionaI politics.

WILL COME AGAIN.

When the hand of adversely falls,
the blow is heavy, and just now the
people of the city sympathize with
DR.. C. A. Milford and DR.. George
Penney in the financial embarrass-
ment which has overtaken them.
But there is nothing, other than
death, which can conquer Yankee
pluck and determination, and we are
all Yankees in that sense; and when
the shock from the blow has passed,
we expect to see these gentlemen on
their feet again, and in the midst of
the fight. They will come again.
The new year is at hand, and with
it will come opportunity.

THE INVENTORY.

This is the season for the inven-
tory. Every we'll regulated bust
ness, at least once in the year,
takes stock, sums up the liabilities,
writes off worthless accounts, and
strikes a balance which shows, some
times, a profit, and sometimes, a
loss.
Ard there is nothing which is so
good a balance-wheel in a business
as this determination. All the
governmental supervision, and all
the control of directors, sought to be
injected into business in these later
times are nothing as compared with
the honest, intelligent examination
of affairs by the managing head, be-
cause to him we must look for the
correction of errors of administra-
ton and management in the future.
And a man should make an in
ventory of his own business. A
fair valuation placed upon his own
property, and a list of his outstand-
ing obligations, carefully studied and
intelligently analysed, will perhaps
cause him to call a halt here and
there in useless expenditures, and
wasteful habits, that will help in the
next summing up.
But more than all else we should
take an account of u WI lives.
AS we approach the mile rock on
life's journey, it will help US to make
an inventory of ourselves in an
honest effort to determine whether
our lives balance in favor of good or
evil. Charging against ourselves as
liabilities the evils done in the body,
there are few of US who can show
assets of good deeds sufficient to
make the books balance. And there
are so many liabilities in the way
of evil deeds which we might erase
from the books of account. There
is so much of selfshness, so much
of thoughtlessness, 80 much of envy
and hatred, so much of petty jeal--
ousy, so much of evil thinking and
evil talking, to say nothing of u
graver wrong-doing, that might be
written off the books.
And then too, look at the good
things we think we do. Are they
in reality done for others, or for
ourselves? Is the person who os-
tensibly ~dispenses charity, really
charitable, or is it vanity and self
seeking? Do we really love others
that we do good to them, or r
we rather seekers after the plaudits
of the unthinking, in an effort to
bolster our own popularity? Do we
seek to help others, OF are we mere
slaves to the footlights?
The man who has not gone off to
himself, and really thought, and
searchingly investigated himself, his
WI life, his w thoughts, his W
acts, his own motives-who has not
taken a full inventory of himself, is
not yet a man-not according to
that final taking-of-stock which all
of US look forward to in some form
in that summing up which is to fol-
low.
And while we would wish for our
readers a prosperous new year, we
wish the more that they take an ac-
count with themselves of the deeds
done in the past; that they make a
searching examination of themselves
and look forward to the future with
a determination to get rid of the
hard stock and worthless accounts
of life.

Miss Mary Crocker Alexander was one of

at the same time as the future Mrs Edric

and Mrs. Alfred &. Ford, who at that
time was Miss Hida Waterlow, were pre-
sented together at one of Queen Victoria S

avenue to a particular joy. They were
not awfully fond of each other nor their
husbands. as they later found. So in
stead of living there in the happiness of
affection, they were presently swept far
asunder and drifted.
One of the things which the brothers
planned was that when they gave dances
it would be so convenient to use one of
the houses as a dressing and withdrawing
place. 1t so happened, however. that few
dances were ever given there, and one of
the early things done by the first of the
series of residents was to strut off that
connecting corridor.
Mr. Vanderbilt flung away a fortune
