GIVE THEM THE EARTH. “Give the young men a show.” By wll means give them a show, and don’t be a boly show, all to yourself, Whenever you hear a wily politician sounding the above distressed cry, you can muke up your mind, that he cousiders him- self the “young man.’ Give him a show and iv a few moments he will convince you tbat he 1s all for self. Abie men need no sbow, they msdea way for themselves There are a few numbeculls that can not understand this trut. and believe they must pull down an- other’s well~earred fame to bole- ter ap their own questionable methods of precedure. We have .p reserve a calcium light. which will be used with effect when the time comes.—The Weekly Argus. Yes this is the cry oi demogo- gus. At arecent meeting held a few days ago the chiet among this class of jacklegs cried aloud to give the young mena show. Theee knaves wavt such men as Bruce, Lyneb, Langston aud others who have mad their fame avd reputation, to tuke a back seat and give them a show. If the metal is in these would be lead- ers, howecan Bruce, Lynch or Langston effect them? If you put av empty kettle ona hot stove, the ket'le will crack, so it is with some men who want to lead. If they don’t possess the elements of leadership how can they lead? A boy at the foot of his class won- ders to himself how John keeps at the bead all the time. John possesses the ability, knows what it requires to get and Keep there. Must Jobn cease studying and become dull to enable some one else to teke his place? It is not the fault of Bruce, Lynch or Lungston that the kickers and growlers of the race are now where they are. The entire earth is at the force who donot regard their oaths vor do they care what they do to some of our fellow citizens of color and whenever this is shown to the court judge Milier has been the mun to deal severely with them. The Bezis of the opin- icn that a majority of the police will protect uelple+s coiored peo- ple and a good aud law ub.diug citizens we sbould instruct the most unturtunate class of ou people to obey the law whenever they are placed under arrest. Al- ways let the court decide who 18 in the wrong and dou’t let us always assume that the officer is in the wrong until both sides are heard.

If we understand the purposes of the gentlemen who are at the bead of the movement to orgau- ize all colored people who cuafe under the restrictions and dis- criminations practiced against us asa class by certain business houses in this city, it is just what the Ber has advocated for maby years, It is a move in self-de-~ iense. It 18 prompted by the highest consideration of self-re- spect. It is mght, and ought to succeed. We believe that it will succeed because it is founded not only in the necessities and cir- cumstances of this community, but the pames signed to the eir cular letter now in circula ion are not accustomed to be asso~ ciaied with failure. Our necessites ure our weak and exposed positions, growing out of our previous conditions, our poverty, our lack of effec tive organization, thus putting us ata disadvautage as individuals in our efforts to gain a livelibood. The circumstances are, there is a Ds eyth munity against the exp rights of the Negro—a disposition to restrict him in bis civil rights and the avenues of employment aie not open to him. The Negro knows his rights and knowing dare main tain them, What torce has he? The labor is alway in de- mand, of at least 25000 adulis, which at $200 each per year would amount to $5,000,000. Le is pectectly free to spend this mouey where he chovses. Let him muke a concerted effort to spend it at the stores of bis friends*At those stores conducted by men and wo- men of his own race, at those stores where our youvg men and women are employed, at those stores which are advertised in newspapers couducted by cvlored men, provided always of course that the Negro can do us well in such stores in prive aud quality as he can in neutral storrs. Neutral stores because there is too great a sacrifice of self-respect to enter business house that discrimiuates against the race to go there under avy circunistauces. An organization wisely direct- ed and supported by the peuple, to investigate, and tind out those stores that discrimiuates agaiust the Negro asa class, those that employ its men in any capacity, aud in which capacity, those that advertice in newspapers edited by Negroes, and are otherwise friend- ly disposed towards the race asa class, would be a powerful force in this community in expanding our civil rights, and enlarging the number of occupations open to us aud immensely increase our chances of success in busiueses. The orgavization is the thing. Let’ every Negro support this organization; let its membership number eighty thousand. AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. the disposal of these growlers, now get there if you cap.

R. A. Jones, WORLD’s FAIR NOTES. Florida, at its recent World’s Fair con vention d-cided to raise $100.000 for its representation at Chicago in 1893. ‘The Associated Press has applied to d: tee in the press quarters on the grounds o in a separate building, where Its reports ean be prepared and dispacecd during the Fair. Between 340 and 350 are employd in perlecting tue landscape features of the Expositon site. It is the intention to make the grounds exceedingly beautiful by walks, drives, lawns, terré , foun- tains, shrubbery, and flow Several hundred’thousand dollars are 10 beexpen- ded tor this purpose. The First Infantry Regiment, National Guard of Califouia, has decided to attend the Exposition in a body, and has inaug uated a plan for providing for the expen- | ses of the trip. The Palace of Music at the Exposition, it is now expected, wili stand on the) great island formed by the lagoons, and will be su: inded by a magnificent gar- den of (lowers, ten acres or more in ex- tent. The National Association of Wollen irers aud the Amercan Pottery ociation have each decided to make xnibit at the Exposition such as has never before been seen in this coun- try. Theodore Roosevelt, the civil service champion, wants to have an ‘‘American | Sportsman’s Exhibit” made at the Expo- sition. Lu explination of his ideas he says; “I want an exhibit of every wea- pen aud utensil used in hunting, fishing, and trapping since the discovery of the country down to the present day, The Ways and Means Committee has granted W, L, Libby & Son Company, of Toledo, Onio, a conce: tion of a big cut-glass factory. The Exposition Directovy ha s called upon the Comptroltef of the City of Cbica go to sell $1,000,000 of the $5,000,000 of bonds which the city voted ia aid of the Exposition. The magnitude of the buildina opera- tions now going‘on at Jackson Park can be surmised fom the fact that au average of from thirty-five to forty ey loads of constructirn material arrives daily. The women of Illinois, who have the spen- ding ot $80,000 of the $800,000 which the 5 iated for its representations on, have deen granted, for their exclusive use, Onestenth of the space iv the lilinois Building, which al-| together, is something more than an acre anda half.

Elections were held on Tuesday in the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Virgania, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Ne- braska, South Dakota, and Mississippi. Special interest centered in the contest in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu- setts, Ohio, and Iowa. Clear weather in most of the States drew out a large vote, and the operations of the new ballot laws delayed the returns. The contest in New York was for Gov- enor, State, and judicial officers, and members of the legislature. Roswell P. Flower, Democrat, was elected Governor over J. Sloat Fassett, Republican, by 40,- 00 majority, The other Democratic State offic were elected. The legislative result is close, and it willneed full returns to decide it, but the probability is that the Republicans have carried the Senate and the Democrats the Assembly. Mr. Flower’s large majority was due to Re- publican losses in the counties, as his ma- jority in New York city was 10,000 below the Democratic estimates, and the world’s fair issue was not as potent as was eXx- pected. The city of Brooklyn elected Boody, Dem., Mayor, by about 11,000 majority. E: yor Alfred C. Chapin was elected to Congress in the second district by 4,000 plurality. Pennsylvania elected State officers and members of thelegislature. The Republi- | cans carried the State by 35,000 plurality. | General David M. Gregg, the Republican H candidate for auditor general, led his ticket by a few votes. George D. Me- | Creary, Republican, was elected Treas- urer of Philadelphia, in place of John Bardsley, over William Redwood Wright, by about 22,000 majority. Republicans | will hold the legislature by the usual majority. The hot political contest waged in Ohio resulted in the election of William Me Kinley, jr., as Governor, by 20,000 major- ; ty. The Republicans also carried the | Legislature. There were many re anarkable features about the elec- tion. Governor Campbell ran ahead m Cincinnati, where it was thought that he would be heavily cut, and | inade gains in the Democratic districts im the northwestern part of the State. The Republicans polled a tremendous vote in the “Western reserve,” the farmers standing by McKinley on the tariff issue. An immense vote was cast in Massa- chusetts, where Governor Russell, Demo: crat, is reelected by from 7,000 to 10,00€ plurality. The reserve vote on which the Republicans relied to defeat Gover. or Russell came out, but a heavy in- crease in the Prohibition vote deprived it of effect. The Republicans carried the legislature, and have probably elected | (thes In Iowa a very iB void was cast, and it will probably exceed 400,000. The returns indicate the reelection of Gov- | ernor Boies by from 5,000 to 7,000 plu- | cality. Republicans do not concede the | defeat of Wheeler, aud claim the legisla- | ture, The Democrats gained a sweeping vic- | tory in Maryland, electing Frank Brown | Governor by some 10,000 plurality, and | carrying the entire State ticket and the | legislature. Republicans were successful in Col- orado, electing their chief justice of the | supreme court by over 5,000 plurality. A light vote was polled in Kansas. where nine district judges were voted for. The Farmers’ Alliance polled about | nalf the vote of last year. The returns andicate Republican success. Members of the legislature who wilk | vote for two United States Senators were zhosen in Mississippi. The regular Dem- ocrats won a sweeping victory, and George and Walthall will be returned tc | Farmers’ Alliance to defeat them. | In Virginia the new legislature will be | swo-thirds Democratic. | Republicans elected the city ticket in | Detroit, Mich. They also gained a 3weeping victory in the fifth Congres- sional district. | In South Dakota John L. Jolly, Rep., | is elected to Congress by 4,000 majority.

Semi-Annual Meeting of the Bishops Opened in Cincinnati. ‘An event to Methodists throughout the world is the semi-annual meetin: of the bishops of that denomination in Cincin- nati this week. All the bishops 1» the world of the Methodist Church, save three, will be there, Bishoy Thoburn, whe is in India, Bishop Taylor, who is > west Africa, and Bishop John H. Vin- cent, president of the Chautauqua As- sembly and chairman of the committee on international Sunday school lessons, who is in Europe trying to regain his health, being the only dignitaries who will be absent. A ; The first business of the bishops was to review the works of the cbureh throughout the world during the past six months. This includes all the regular church work in the United States « well as the missions in foreign lands. It involved the consideration of a great many knotty questions of administration and problems of special importance. ‘After the review of the work is fin- ished the matter of assigning the differ- ent bishops to conferences and fixing the time of same is to be taken up. The last of this week the bishops will attend the meeting of the church extension society at Columbus, and on the following w ok they will be present at the general mis- sionary meeting at Cleveland, Ohio. The A RICH MAN’S FATE. He Hoarded His Money, and Worked a Car Inspector. Jacob Lawrence, an old man employed as a car inspector for the Reading Com- pany, at Gordon, Pa., was caught be- tween cars this week and crushed so that he died the following day. Since hi death it has been learned that he w: worth akout $300,000, which is invested in real estate in the city of Brooklyn, N. ¥. He was born in a suburb of Port Jer- vis, N. Y., almost 90 years ago, and spent 20 years of his life on the Delaware and Hudson Railroad furnishing horses to handle their business in and about W mart. In 1885 he left for Brooklyn, being worth at that time $40,000. There he { resided with his sister, and invested all his money in real estate. Not being content with this he con- ferred with the officials of the Philadel- phia and Reading Railroad Company, and requested a position as car inspector, which he received. and he was sent to Gordon, where he remained in the company’s service until the time of his Jeath. He resided in this county 35 years, and boarded with a family named Seitzinger. No one was aware of his im- mense wealth. His only relative living is his sister in Brooklyn, and this fortune falls to her. DID THE AZTECS BUILD IT? An Elaborate Stone Roadway Unearthed at Marseilles, Il. While workmen were excavating for new gates just above the Marseilles dam, sight miles east of Ottawa, Ill. they discov- ared a stone roadway. Some 50 feet ofa —W.mada_rovement of slabs was un- covered, each stone being some ?2 cet long, from one to three feet wide, and over two inches in thickness, with a break here and there filled in with cobble- stones, which were also laid in regular courses. The roadway, so far as uncovered, is almost perfect. It is of the uniform width of about 12 feet and is laid upon a foundation of gravel and broken sand- stone. The depth which it appears is 4 from four to six feet. It is thought to have been built by the Aztecs or Tezcu- nons, who were driven from this region by the Indians. PEARY’S PARTY IN GLOOM.
