Sweetest Words

Enclosed find check!" The
sweetest words that e'er out
classed the song of birdsl How
they allay the widows fears, and
dry the orphans briny tears !!
When sad and tired and short of
kale, a letter comes by morning
mail; like other letters it appears,
with postage stamps and inky
smears. "No doubt" we sigh, "it
is a dun; some frantic gent is
after mon. These beastly bills
we cannot pay take all the sun
shine from the day, and make us
wish that we were dead, with
stacks df granite overhead" And
then, with languid hands, we tear
the envelope to see what's there,
and out there comes a note, by
heck. with these brave words,
"Inciosed find check!" All, then
we bid farewell to woe, and like
nine Brahma roosters crow, and
to the soft drinks joint repair, and
buy a quart of soapsuds there.
The sun once more is cutting hay,
the gloomy clouds are blown
away, the world is glad that was
a wreck, changed by the words,
Enclosed find check"

The Colored American.

10 the Editor OF The Star.
/ read with considera bic interest the
letter, written by Simon Wolf which
appeared in your issue of the 25th. /
know of no citizen for whom ! have a
higher regard than have for Mr.. Wolf.
He knows no man by his nationality,
by the color of his skin, or by his
faith; and 1 heartily agree with all he
says except as it relates to the colored
American. We are forced to combine
for sclf-protection. The colored Amer
lean is the only American that is dis
crimnated against, and simply on ac-
count of his color. He is denied ap-
poiEtment to office on account of his
color, and therefore given no oppor-
tr.nity to show his fitness and ability.
He lis disfranchised in the south and
no attempt is made to stop it. He is
segregated no matter how highly cul-
tured and refined he may be. Men and
women of the race are lynched for the
most trivial offenses, and the pulpit
and press of the country are almost
silent on the outrages. While the re-
publican party is not living up TO its
traditions, it is the best we have and,
naturally enough az race. we have
no other choice. We would welcome
the day when he Is treated as all other
citizens are treated. then his vote could
, not be counted by the color of his skin.
1t is very unfortunate that the pres
ent administration raised the color line.
This itself has done more to injure and
hinder the progress of the colored
American than anything else since
mancipation. Certain sections of our
country take their cue from the
tional government, in regard to their
treatment of us. | trust that the time
win sooh come when ! can say in ad-
4.
as an American citizen, voicng my
own political convictions, which are
republican, and expect each and every
one of you to vote according to your
own convictions as American citizens,
and prove to the world that while
are colored, we are American citizens
in every other direction, and, being
such, we exercise the God-given right
of voting as all other of our fellow
citizens are expected to do
