: MY FATHERS CABIN Oh, mlenging for that cabin That stands by hidden stream; Grass and willows grow on the root And the walls to the southward lean. The inside is old and smells of musk; A miners clothes hang there still. On the floor are pieces of windlass,
 rope
 And a rusted bit and drill. A rusted gun on a pair of moose
 horns Hangs over the sidling, door, And fine network of spider webs Hangs from roof to floor. That was my fathers cabin As it looked just ten years ago. The roof by now has fallen in And the north winds over it blow.

Jealousy among bomesteaders II
happens that white large number OF
the natives are pushing their work.
more especially at Wbim, the Puerto
Reans with hardly an exception are
doing good work and so become entitled
to preference the same as the most
deserving natives.
In the midst Of The confusion at this
and of the island the natives are uncon-
sciously going TO DE heavy losers. At the
western end they are taking all they can
get from the Federal Government.
1t is right hat those VINO spread dis
content among home steaders should
know that the ultimate result will be
the passing of the land from discon-
tented mattress into the hands Of pushing
Puerto Ricans.
If that should happen let the natives
blame themselves.
There is enough money TO buy few
more estates, but only those who SHOW
progress 10 their work can keep their
clots.

EDITORIAL

Al the request of Mr.. Harry Taylor
liberal appropriations have been made
by the Subsistence Homestead Corpora
ton at Washington for the homestead
ing project in the Virgin Islands.
During the necessary lays in pro-
curing funds from Washington the
Municipality advanced crop loans to
honest eaders at $50. 90 an acre on the
usual terms against security in the crop
extending over period of two years.
Now that the Federal money has been
made available such municipal loans
may be paid off The holnesteader does
not have to worry about dollar to pur-
chase planttops, or about the ploughlng
of this land, for where the tractors can
not go bull plows will be furnished.
The change in conditions seem 80
marvellous. so unreal. that one wonders
If it is all an illusion. These people paid
SIC to SIP annual rental for every acre
of iand-they are now buying he land
in annual instalments of $3.50 10 5000
an acre. There was no one willing to
lend them any money until orr editor as
Councilman, after the Bethlehem col
lapse engineered a plan whereby the
suuatter could obtain crop loans. But
in some cases the owners refused TO give
the municipality the right to preferential
claim in the crop
The land renter could not live on his
plot because the land was not his ow q
and if he had title to it he could not
afford to build on it. Today pretty little
cottages are springing up at Whim and
will soon be making their appearance at
La Princesse. At first only twe-room
cottages with porch. kitchen and cistern
were allowed Under the new regula-
tions four-room houses will be built.
In building houses on the plots those
homesteaders who paid most attention
to their land were first considered The
some course will be pursued at La
Princesse. the preference will go TO the
most deserving.

Dec. 20, 1884
Dear Editor,
Omaha Guild :
Sir:
! have just read in the paper where
J. T. English. County Atty has APP
pointed all Of hi aides Despite the
fact that his appointments appear
Democratic, they are not He ap-
poirt & ar Italian Chief Deputy, and
IN the staff every nationality that is
outstanding is Represented except
h Negro. | am now wondering
where all those Democrats are now
that formerly supported the ticket out
in this end of town.
You could n,. hear anything but
a lot OF noise Of them b fore the
campaien was over. Now you hear
nothing of them at all. Why could
not Mr.. English recognize The $500
Negro votes by putting Atty. Davis
or some ether D-mocra. on his staff?
We mu t not start cut supporting he
Democrats for t.he fun Of it. We must
have something to say about the pol
icy of tn party or we will q sup
port it. The time has come for us to
fight like hell for The things that
rightfully belong to US civically, po-
lftically, and otherwf @. Just because
the public school s. stem gets away
with murder SO to speak by spend
ing all U tax money and not even
hiring q school ~janitor not to say
anything about oar -Colored teacher.
There Is no reason why the Negroes
have to go out and support a ID mo-
GRAFT for office for 2 pleasant look at
campaign time. We supported the
Republican Party for nothing for 80
years and they reach d the point
where they thought they owned us
soul and body, Now we mu.t start
out supporting this new party with
the und -rstanding that if we are good
enough to help them, we certainly
should be good eenough to enjoy some
of tn fruits Of our W labor and
| am asking you to lot Mr.. English
know that he ha not run for office
the last time, and we certainly shall
remember how he fail q to remem-
Der US. The things above mentioned
are the r asons why | have always
fought SO hard for Negro leadership
in this second ward politically instead
Of white leadership as Mac Baldridgs
is trying to pull off on US. We should
arousl ourselves to the importance Of
TIL question. 1T is on1 that ia rob-
bing our children of an opportunity
to advance. I've pledged myself to
carry on a campaign that will mean
trouble for those who use US, but,
who never support us.
