REVENGE ON NEGROES. | Kansas City Republican Machine Is Ousting ¥ Negro Officials, Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 10.—The republican city administration is re- yenging itself on the negroes for ® their generous support of the dem- | ocratic ticket in this city by ousting 7 all the colored men in the employ of | thecity. Hven Nelson Crews, the | famous colored orator, it is said, is to be dropped as clerk of the Police Court, or at least his position will pe made so uncomfortable that he | will be glad to quit. “Out with the : negroes!” is the slogan, and the col- 4 ored employe who survives the pres- ent onslaught will be battered and pent, if the talk of officials counts for anything. % County chairman Charles Yost, | who is also city assessor, is perhaps ‘the sorest man at the city hall. “The negroes be damned,” said “Yost. “We have filled the hall with them, treated them with every pos gible consideration, and now when they are needed they sell themselves at $l a head. The negroes have 3 placed themselves on the market at F gomucha head. They haye their | prices on them and can be bought like a bushel! ot lettice, a bushe! of potatoes or a basket of spinach—so much for each one The republican _ party owes them nothing from now on. They are not entitled to a _ thing.” _ Last year Mr. Yost had negroes employed for several months at $3 _aday making the assessment. He | is now selecting white men todo | this year’s work. “How many negroes will you em- | ploy this year?” he was asked. Mr. f Yost raised his hand and with two _ fingers formed a naught, saying: “Just that many and no more. White men can do my work from now on” _ Superintendent of Streets Sloan | laid off his negro clerk, L. W. Spen- cer, and every negro street sweeper this morning. Their places will be - filled with whites. Auditor Ceoil has not yet dropped his negro deputy, _ dames Cole, and declares he is unde- cided in the matter. But there is no doubt that Cole will haye to go, and _ with him every colored city employe, A Sure Thing for You. Atransaction in which you cannot: lose 1s a sure thing.

The news of the lynching spread quickly, and the already angry negroes, men and women, gathered outside the corporation limits to threaten the town. Rumors of a most alarming nature were afloat, and white people who had before been only spectators armed them selves. Farmers from the country, loaded with arms, began to come to the town.

Wilmington, N. C., Nov. 10.—The long-expected clash between the whites and negroes has at last oc- curred. At noon three negroes are known to have been killed and one white man wounded. At 9 o’clock this morning 200 armed white men burned the build. ing occupied by the negro news paper, The Record, whose articles during the eampaign incited the wrath of the whites. The building with the outfit of the newspaper was destroyed. This summary aetion was taken because the negroes failed to heed the warning of the whites to romove the piant. The Record building is situated in adensely populated negro locality. When it was fired the negroes aban- doned their homes and fled. Reports of riot and bloodshed reached sevenal hundred negro laborers, employed at one of the cotton compresses, who quit work aud started to the scene of the trouble. They were stopped by white men and compelled to return to work. The negro editor, Manley, is no where to be found, aud the leaders have advised the whites to shoot him on sight.
