The Afro-Americans of California have witnessed the establishment of si colored newspapers in this State in the past two years, and last week witnessed the last one of’ that number He eae publication in the city of akland for want of proper patrona and the prompt payment of money due it from its subscribers. We do not pre- tend to say thata man or any set of men have not the right to start a color- ed newspaper ifhe or they so desire, for thisisa free government, and as the old adage goes, if a man does not desire to wear shoes, he has aright and privilege to go barefooted. Still, should he give the matter the proper study and consideration before he allowed himself to go barefeoted, he would find that it would not be the proper thing for him to do. Just so with the establishing of colored newspapers in California. If those Afro-Americans who have the editorial bee in their bonnets and have a few loose dol!ars in their pockets were to give the matter of establishing another colored news paper in California with their loose” change the proper study and consider- ation, they would find that it would not be a very profitable enterprise and the proper thing for them to do, with- out they desire to get rid of the — loose change they have in their pocket Those who have tried the enterprise and have been identified with the de- SATURDAY, AUSUST 12, {welcome to; for the old subscrihers to THE ally stay with it and never leave it un- der any consideration. funct papers of the past two years,have learned a lesson about running a color- ed newspaper in this State that will cause them to look well before they at- tempt to jump into the tempestuous sea of colored journalism again in Cali- fornia. A rough estimate of the money that has been sunk in the six colored newspapers that have been es in this State the past two years is g at $4000. Why not have put that mon- ey in some business enterprise, where there would have been a greater certain- ty of realizing at least more than has been realized from it by those who were interested in the newspapers and put up the money? They would h had at least something to show for the money in goods and chattle wher they have nothing to show now but empty honors. Tue Evevator has been established in this State for 28 years the 14th of last April, and during that whole per- iod it has no more than paid its run- ning expenses. Did the idea ever strike the Afro-Americans of this State that it would be more to the rz in- terest and credit to support one good race paper on the coast than to have a half dozen excuses fora paper, and none of them paying expenses, with their editors going around half starved and sometimes not having decent de- cent clothes to wear? Would it not be of more credit to the “race? Echo an- swers yes. When a new paper all the old dead beats of TH Gorand bad paying sub: every county inthe State are the first to subscribe to the new paper, and speak in glowing terms of its news and journalistic enterprise;but when their subscriptions are due they fail to pay, and thus the new paper is forced to suspend. Among THE ELEvaror’s subscribers, the majority of them are prompt in paying their subscriptions when due, we have cut off about all of the dead beats and bad paying sub- scribers, and those are the ones gener- ally the new papers thatare started succeed in getting and which they are 4 Ss ie subserihe to THE ELEVATOR and are still cans better ha such as g#* ery yards, boot and shoe stores, clothing stores, fruit stands, establishments, real estate offices, and other business enter]. any surplus funds, which will be some thing that wi eG sink it in colored support the race paper you have as it shoud be sup: will be much better off, cially and politically in this State.

They Issuc An Address to the People of the United States. Denver, July 18.—The silver conven- tion here has adopted a long address “to the people of the United States.” It declares that the friends of the gold standard prior to the call for the extra session of Congress “fnaugurated a panic,” the evident purpose of which was to create a prejudi + against the Silver Pore alnge act, wut says the success of the scheme was ouly par- tial, as, despite “venal Presidential patronage, supplementing false and in- cendiary utterances by the gold press,” and assaults on the law by Hnastern money brokers, which had possibly won over & majority of the House, there was a stanch majority in the Senate against repeal. It declnres the repeal of the Sherman law will paral- yze all industry in the silver States and devastate the country as by a cy- clone. In One Mammouth Grave. Lancaster, Pa., July 13.—The most sensational funeral ever held in this county, if not in the State, was that yesterday of Daniel 8. Kreider, wife and four children, who were murdered at Cando, N. Dak., by Albert Bom- berger. The bodies were laid side by side in Rissers’s Mennonite moeeting- | house, in Mount Joy township, and a steady stream of people poured into the building to get a look at them. At the hour of service it is estimated there were 15,000 persons present. The bodies were laid side by side in one grave fourteen feet long and seven | and a half feet wide. The President Keeps Quict, Buzzard's Bay, July 18.—The peculiar retirement being observed by the Pres- ident at his cottage at Gray Gables is attracting general comment. He comes down to the post-oifice here oecasion- ally, but seems preoccupied and evi- dently tries to avold notice. He has had very few callers, and has been aboard of his fishing boat but twice since he arrived here. Gossip is to the effect that solicitude for Mrs. Cleve- land is the cause of his sticking so closely to tbe house. It is probable that he is also preparing his m age for the meeting of Congress. His health is good. 4) publie during ecretary debt decreased $1,216,- June. sarlisie startea for y of this week.
