FERGUSON, ETC OFFICERS OF THE “‘ CENTRAL Bu- REAU OF RELIEF.” Gatveston, Texas, Nov. 4. 1889, Gentlemen: As a member of the Colored men’s State Executive Committee of Texas, I wish to ask by what au- thority does Mr. C, M. Ferguson appearas the representative aud Vice-President of your organiza- tion for Texas? Personally neither L nor our committee would objec: to Mr. Ferguson, but we object to the manner of his selection. We have a regular organization of col- ored men in this State represented by a standing Execative Commit tee to whom matters of so grave importance are entrusted. Neither this committee, bor any other res pousible authority, has yet designa ted a representative in your moves ment. Moreover it is geuerally un serstood iu Texas that Mr. Fergu- son is now aciuzeu of Nashville, Tenn. We are in sympathy wita your apparent purposes, aud are uuwill- ing to suspect that other names which appear in counection there with are used with no more aathor- ity. Respectfully, Richard Nelson, Member of Colored Meu’s State Ex. Com. of Texas. es AN AFO-AWMEKICUAN LEA- GUE, The first step was taken Tues. ay nigut towards organ zing the Di-trict into branches of the Afro- American League by the orma- tion ot Branch No. 1.

Robt. F. McIntyne who held a place in the N. Y. Custom House to which he was appointed by Cleveland’s collector, Magone; was dismissed from the service ou Nov. 6th, for too much politi- cal activity during the lare cam- paign in the interest of democra- cy. The managers of Repailican politics in New York city tried to excuse their action in MeIutyne’s case, but a cird published in the “NewYork Daily News” and eom- ments from several other N. Y bapers put the mutter straight and Mclutyne is one the mytars of the last campaign. He is a member of the Cleveland League Central club, of which F. C Lawson is the president and which did goo] ser- vice_in the campsign, supporting the Tamany Hall Ticket. The first of a series of concerts and selec! invitation entertainments, was given by the Schumen Quarteite at Delphia hall on the llth.

Ward heelers” is an appobious epithet which is ap- plied by Mugwumps and other hos ly pel.ticians to the men, who bring out the voters on election day and is farther intended as a reflection upon the houesty and motives of these men, of whose labors, these holy politicians and mugwumps are the chief beveticiaries.

The, “I am_ better than thou; I know more than you” period, is fast disapearing, and the public is reaily being instracted by the versalitilty and research of tup- iv and historical facts, served up for it by the several forensic aud literary centres. Let the good work go on. Dr. Blyden’s paper was an eye- opener, the Clergy is aroused. Lt was high time, more real, aud less make-believe Christianity will not aurtthe race.

The muddle of politics was hit by a cyclone in several statss late- ly. This is not news, but that the colored voter looks all the better, and more potential after the **cloud has rolled by.” is the soleun con- clusion ot those who read between tue rifts. Langston’s coals of fire, by the manly attitude of bis sup porters, eveu helsing their enemy, was the only incident which suften- atumble, which otherwise would have been a bard bumb for Gen’l Mahone. Tuat lesson will not be lost for the race. A negro strangied quiely at Lees- bargi without jadge or jury is ouly an incedent of the week, It is too near our doors to cause a shudder, the wiked border land is discount ing the so called barbarous South. Let us have more of humanity at home, and mach less polities. The “Bee” is a feature of race jour nalism, outspoken and — earnest: King Marlieux its most brilliant, correspoudent must be more lenient in criticism, to those who do not know as mach as be. People fall of honors, and those seeking them, bave about the same motives iu us- ing their names for publication or writing bebind another.

Cooriper’s Harness thing of the kind ever put on the Market. is the best It is so ar- Attachment ranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the same in any way, right out in the street. It canbe taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitching and unhitching as a horse can_be at- tached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extri- cated in less than 5 seconds. It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is removable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when worn. The particular advantage this device possesses over others consists in the eon- structions of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has heretofore been nec- cessary in order touse devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines being connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unman- ageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the plate 16 aside and release the animal from the vehicle. Any woman or child can hitch or unhitch a horse without the slight- est trouble. used every day. SECURE A HOME INTHE LAND OF FLOWaS DINSMORE!
