A COMMON-SENSE MOVE. 1 An Organisation of Colored Men Promulgate • New Declaration of ladepead•Bee. There b no more reason for the organization of a colored man's l*artj in thi8 country than for the organization of a party of blondes or one of £ray beards. Yet, if by this means the colored people of the South can grad* i ually be brought into the exercise of their^political rights in an intelligent mnuner, and can be made to understand tho full dignity of the freedom and citizenship which were conferred upon them, perha|>s the movement which an educated black of Richmond, Va., has started, will not be without sqppcrt in places where, under other circumstances, it would 1m- vigorously combated.! As outlined, the aim of the Virginia gettleiuan is to form in every populous, community an organization of the more .progressive negroes for social and political purposes. The political aspectajd the organization are to be kept i u it Ik* background for a time, and an effort is to lx- made to improve the - condition of the race lx-fort» its active participation in political'matters will be recommended. This may or may not^H- the proper way to la-gin the elevation of the race, but the idea at the bottom of tin- movement U a correct one. The organization starts but with tile understanding that the negro does r not la-loug to any One party: that un- - dcr tile existing’political divisions the intelligent voter of tin- black race, us well as tin- "intelligent voter of the w hite race, .must sometimes use his in- I dependence to check evil tendencies in . la-tli parties,, and can never lie s:yid to have decided intelligently as to his duty ufitil hi- has freed himself of the. tyranny of tin- party idolatry. % In the language of tin- author-of the new movement, “Mr. <'h-velanb's Administration, has pul more real value on the negro's citizenship than, all the preceding Administrations since the '< j war."

Almut Jhe same time that theRepulilieans of Ohio were rejoicing over the fact that, after having eontndled the State most of the time since slavery was abolished, they had finally wiped from the statute-book the litst of the “black laws.'* the Massachusetts Legislature ri-ueivisl a |M’tition fnun certain colored citizens for the redress of a grievan'ec no. extraordinary in its character as to challenge National attention. Twenty years ago the colored Methodists of Springfield secured an old budding for their chun'h and moved it upon a lot just large enough to hold it. The property on either sido was ow ned by a nmti who did uot like his new neighbors, atid he built a tight lioanl fence close to the church on each side, which he painted black. As the fence rose above the windows, its blackness shut out the light of day so effectually that candles or lamps had to In- nsisl tit every service. The jicrfortiiance attracted aollie attention at the time. Inti as the inau who built the fence was a gopd Republican, and the Republican party of Massachusetts was theu fully occupied in looking after outrages upon the negroes in the South, nothing was ever done about it. and the unfortunate negroes of Springtield waited for the fence to rot and fall.* But since the

The Rascals Going Out. tt appears snat mure than halt the otBciaU M lha public service, exclusive of the army and nary, have, within two years, been changed, while the appointments in place ot officers whose terms have expired, as tar as can be as ' renamed, seem not to be more then a third ot the whole number made.

ISO. to the 4th ot March. 1*7.—.V. r. IHhw. The simple fact that an office-holder o’ " had been an active partisan under the former Administration, and had prbs- * tituted the power and patronage of office to partisan purposes was clearly a sufficient reason why he should be removed. 'It was absolutely necessary for the success of the Democratic Administration to have, in the various departments. a fair proportion, at least, of those willing to extend to it their cordial and efficient support. A President chosen to bring about a reform of the magnitude of the task assigned to Mr. Cleveland needed the aid of those who were sincere and faithful to such a cause. We would commend to the attention of the New Tork Run, and other grumblers against the •] President, the complaint made by the Tribune in the above extract. It may relieve the minds of those Democrats who have been charging Mr. Cleveland with undue preference for Republicans in office. He has been neither remiss or indifferent in regard to the claims of Democrats for place* under his Administration. He has only stipulated that they possess the necessary qnalifipwtions for office. Bow unfair and tut

just have been the charge# made against him by the Sun and its satellites for persisting >n keeping Democrats out of office. Putting one in every six minute# throughout every working day of the first two years of Administration does not show indifference or negligence toward his partv. The rascals are being turned out with considerable promptitude, and men of honesty and ability are being put in their places. The positions of public trust will soon be, one and all, in the hands of those who are iu accord with the principles of the party of the people, and are fitted by talent and education to do honor to the Government, —Atbnni/ Argus. THE OHIO MAN. A Reminiscence Tending to Show Thai lie and Mis Work Are Stilt Remembcrrtl in tike South. Our Washington correspondent * has presented some of the details eoncerning Senator John Sherman’s proposed Southern tour. This tour is undertaken at a time When the Ohio ]M>litician believes that he can mingle business with pleasure. He will go to Florida, thence to Cuba, and on his return attempt to tickle tiic riles of the Solid South. John Sherman is a - very cool hand, and a very, i mining pnc. and, since the war. he has had one of his glittering eyes continually fixed on the South. It will.be renaeml»ered that J*>hu was conspicuous among the “visiting .statesmen." ap|«ointcd by President Grant to visit the South when the three returnjug board* were expected to do the bidding of Zaohariah Chandler. Honest Johti went to l-oiiisiana. and there he j made the acquaintance of Madison i Welt* and the other returning board thleVt*. am! of Anderson and Liza Pinkston. The estimable Senator cut a pretty wide swath iu the sunny South, lb and his colleagues made the champagne and the broth fly. They destroyed free lunches ami facts without compunction. The details of this great scandal- arc still fresh in tin: mirds of newsnaner readers. - The

stay of tin’ “ visiting statesmen " iu the Smith was a continiHsI orgie of |Hilitii-al cfilin’ ami corruption. .ami the result was that Hayes, who was «!«’- featrtl by llie votes of the people. was seated in the IVesident's chair by means of Ihe con-Hjit machinery sot in motion by John Sln rmaii and his copartners. We have no feeling about this greaticrime, but we should be glad to see Mr. Sherman become the Presidential candidate of the llepuhliean party; we should be glad to see him placed in a position where the honest voters of the country could get a whack at him. Still keeping his eye lived on the solid South, John Sherman's next effort. after the Hayes fraud, was to secure the Southern delegates to the Republican National convention which nominated Garfield. He had his agents in every Southern State, but we can not sjieak for these. lVe know that iu Georgia his representative was confessedly guilty of some very dirtywork. But it was all to no purpose. The negroes knew nothing of him and they would have nothing to do with hint. —t Since that day Mr. Sherman has ls-cu growing more and more genial, with the solid. South still in his eye. For some wet Its now be* has appe in l to lie in a melttiug mood. He has n1ccntly had himself interviewed at some length in a Cincinnati paper, and it is said lie pro|ioses to use bis chin in the .South to some extent —Atlanta- Constitution. Want Relief from Blaineism. Mr. Wharton Barker, one of—Mr Blaine's staunchest supporters in Pennsylvania. says in the Amrriean, discussing'the Pesidcney in 1888: •* We saw and we know that we are speaking for many Republicans w hen we say that it would lie a most desperate exi»eriment. in view of the consequence* of failure, to renominate Mr. Blaine, lie has had his candidacy, lie Was loyally supported by every element that will have the right or the opportunity to consider the second proposal of hi* name. That he failed is not their fault but his misfortune. He can not justly ask them to cuter with, him again on so perilous a venture.” He intimates, also, that Mr. Blaine, like Mr. Clay in 1844. reached the height of his strength in 1884. and he oaks: ] “ Is it possible to increase or

even maintain tin* cimtii-iasm ol his admirers of two years age? Is it possible to bring hint any new elements of support? Is there any quarter in whieli he is more popular, now thau in 1881? Is the confidence which he inspires in other public men ami party leaders greater? All these qne*tions he answers in the negative. Of Mr. Baker's suggestion of Sherman ami Harrison .vs suhstitntes for Blaine, we will now say nothing, except this, that if Mr. Blaine’s supporters mean to withdraw him from the field next year, they must do it thoroughly, and without reservation or subterfuge— that is. they must uot only relieve the party of Blaine, lmt of Blaineism. They must not put up sofmebodv who has a secret agreement with Biaiue to work under his orders or influence, or to put him into the State Department, so vs to enable him to begin over again the old pyrotechnics of 1881. For it must uot be forgotten that Blaine's performances as Secretary of State disgusted and alarmed nearly as many Republicans as his financial trickery and falsehood.—X K Past. PRESS PARAGRAPHS. -Blaine is evidently a sinking ship Wharton Barker, of Pennsylvania. has deserted him. and it is said i the cian Cameron of the same State has followed suit, and will sound the slogan for Sherman.—Detroit Free Press. -Death has removed several stumbling Mocks from the path of James C. Blaine. Mr. Arthur's influ- , cnee in Now York would have been [against him. General Logan would have teen a formidable rivaL Beecher's eloquence would have been fesnd on tin# other side, aud even Eben F. Pillsbury, who has jnst died, was a foe who was not to be despised. Still there are a few people left who will demur when the magnetic man assumes to take the lead agaiu. -Chicago Herald. -—The importunity of o(Bee-seekers and their friends has always been a nuisance, but now that it has become concentrated upon a few men, such as the Commissioner of Patents, the Com* missioner of Agriculture, and the Chief of tint Bureau of Printing and Engraving. wrho'are unable to hide behind the Civil-Service net, it is a cause of irritation no intolerable as to drive from or keep out of the service any one who wishes to discharge Ms duties faithfully and at the same time to live in |M£K with his fellow men.—A*.

A HAPPY COUPL& Vhm First Mantel* Ceremony Performed Is TsatnU County, Illinois. The following account of the first marriage in Tazewell County is taken by the Pekin (111.) Tima from a diary kept by one of the oldest settlers, since deceased: The first marriage in Tazewell County was In 1897. Mordecal Mobley, first clerk (commissioner’s clerk then) of our county, happened to call at father” Stout’s home. Here he saw Frank and Fanny Btout—if related at all, distantly. Father Stout told Clerk Mobley how Frank had been courting his daughter Fanny for some time and how they wanted io marry, but didn’t know how; that he supposed there was a permit or something to be secured first, for which it was not clear in his mind where to apply. Mr. Mobley told him he was just the man; that he had authority to giro permits, and that he would do so then and there. “Hare you papers!" asked the clerk. •’No.” “Any books!” <" “Well, there used to be an old book about the house.” And the search was instituted, and an old worn-out book was found. In the book was found, fortunately, a fly-leaf. “Now, then’” continued the obliging afficiaL. "have you any peas!" “None." s “Any geese!” “Nary geese.' “Chickens!” “Yes. some big ones.” And the two wcDt out into the yard and caught a big rhickez, plucked a feather from It, and soon Clerk Mobley had whittled out a nice quill pen He now inquired for ink, and, of course, there was none; but there was some gunpowder in the house, and by mixing some water with a quantity of the powder a fluid was soon manufactured that would arswerthe purpose: And then the clerk sat himself down and wrote the permit that was to make two h carts happy. And on the -Tth day of June, 1S27, Frnnk and Fauny Btout. •were married by Her. Mr. Brown, and' all went as happy as a marriage bell. What subsequently became of Mr. andMrs. Frank Stout I can not say. Key. William Brown is dead. Mordecai Mobley, the clerk, is still living and resides in Dubuque, la.

Growth of the Muwuid Business. ••The museum lusiuess has taken a bis hold in this country,"’ said a traveler to a Chicago Hrrald man. “lu all of the larger cities there are from three to half a doxtn such places, and some of them are making a good deal of money. Not .only'the 'big towns, but the little towns, bare their museums. though many of the latter are pretty cheap affairs. I remember.one place which I vi'sited in a small city down East. The advertisements said it was tho biggest and- most wonderful museum in the country, lireat stress was laid upon the fact that the collection comprised •10.659 natural curiosities—see ’em, count ’em—10.650.’ 1 visited the place, and what do you suppose 1 found! Ten thousand three hundred butterflies, bugs, mineral specimens, and such things in glass cases, the collection formed by a defunct college; WV cheap pictures and cartoons cut put of old files of the illustrated and comic papers, and one stuffed bear, loaned by the farrier whoso advertisement it bore.” What Burdette Heard la aa Asylum. ••What makes the locomotive tender!” asked Agamemnon, willing to show his hatred toward all mankind. “Because,” replied Eudosia, “it is In soak all the time. Water makes anv thing tender save a ben.” “And what,” inquired her instructor. “will soften the hen!” “Early death,” aaid the pupil; “death in tbe shell from suffocation.” *• Haa this premature death ever been known to occur!" continued the professor, turning to the Boor Boarder. “Never!" exclaimed the Poor Boarder, bursting in tears. “No, indeed," said Agamenuon, who used to run a restaurant himself, “it never did.” Clever Toll-Taking Device. An mutomatic collection or toil-taking device, to be attached to telephones at public or pay stations, has been invented. The mechanism in the telephone-box is so arranged that the telephone will not operate until a coin of a certain aiie and weight, dropped into a slit in the front, acta upon a switch-lever, thereby making electrical connection between tbe transmitter and the line wire. The act of hanging the receiving-telephone, after use. In the place provided for it. drops the coin Into a till and releases the switch-lever, thereby breaking the electrical connection and “setting the trap” for the next user. The Ripest Tear eg Human I—e. The venerable James Jackson, who was the Nestor of the medical profession for so long a time in Boston, used to say that a man came to the prime of his effective faculties when he was sixty-five years old. Hewaid it Was true that the curve of physical strength was theu declining. But experience, and the ability to act, which comes from experience, are, of course, constantly improving white memory holds. According to Dr. Jackson, the curve of experience, and the enrve of physical life cross each oils# at the age of aiity-five.

Submarine Volcanic Crater. Recent observations are maid to indicate the existence of a submarine volcanic crater between the Canary Islands and the coast of Portugal. From a cable-lay* ins steamer in latitude SB deg. 35 miu. north, longitude 9 deg. 51 miu. west, the Water was found to measure 1,300 fathoms under the tow. showing the ship to be aver the edge of a deep depression in the pcean bottom. It is well known that great inequalities are found in the bed of the Sea of Lisbon, nnd are thought to be due U> a submarine chain of mountains. ■t-Mlnded Bachelor.

"ONE BY ONE.** A Direful Aralmnche In Every Known Sum. uad. Thooauds ol People Crashed by Its PitUeee Power. Far up the ditzy Alpine height-1, above the line of perpetual frost, where the trill, lent glitter of the snow under the midday sun seems only to intensify the cold, the Ice Kina would seem to hold und isputed away. But, even here there la at times a little humidity in the atmosphere of the more sheltered nooks. The dry enow softens a little, the wind : catches it up and tosses It about, and the star-like flukes are rolled into a tiny ball that the footsteps of a child might easily crush. Then comes the rude blust from the mountain top and drives the ball up and down the high valley and across the vast trackless fields of snow and ice. It gathers sire and strength at every turn; huge rock’’ boulders and mountains of ice are Imbedded In the now slowly moving avalanche, which sooner or later descend! with frightful velocity to the Valley telow. The luckless village in its pathway is doomed I The air is thick with the falling snow I An awful rush 1 A roar reverberates through the mountains, and the little Swiss hamlet is swept away I The foregoing is so applicable that we use it as an illustration. As the wind catches up the snow particles on the mountain tops so the heart catches, up the blood as it passes from the kidneys aud other organs, aud sends it coursing through tho system. As it rushes along it drops the uric acid that tho unhealthy kidneys have left In the blood in the form of insoluble crystals, causing enlargement of the joints und intense inflammation in the system which is often called acute rheumatism. Eventually tho joints enlarged by these crystals become stiff and painful, it these crystals arc dropped in the liver they are called gallstones, if in the kidneys gravel, if in the bladder calculus or stone. If this uric acid or kidney poison remains in solution in the biooi it circulates throughout the system, cansing irritation, which produces, according to tho location of the irritation, pneumonia, consumption, hacking rough, heart disease, inflammations and fevers, skin disorders, paralysis, apoplexy, and makes the system susceptible to colds, chills, and all the other common disorders of which uric acid is the principal cause.

,iue unue cuua upon me mountain wr can crush In its tiny hind the first formation of the rushing avalanche. So, too, the calamitoos results noted cau be as readily prevented if the right means are used at the right time. “But how!” our readers may ask. w Listen and we will tell you. It is a fac' Of medical science that the kidneys are th-. chief bleed purifiers of the system; th, Chief blood po.soner is uric acid which th, kidneys alone can exoiL If the thousand little hai.r-like sewer tubes of the kidneys, through which the entire blood supply passes the same as through the heart, arc diseased they can not separate and expel this poisonous waste mat ter from the blood. Now, as another matter of scientific fact, disease of these little sewer tubes It more common than of any other delicate port of the body, and it is because tVaracr’s safe cure, gentle and natural in its action, has such wonderful power in preventing and curing disease of these all-important tubes, that it is recognized as a great scientific specific—a power possessed by no other such remedy on earth. When the kidneys, the only bloodpurifying organs, become inactive and diseased, any disorder to which the system is m ist liable may be expected. Then H U that trouble begins, and the doctors fail miserably because they can only treat the effect*—tho cause Is beyond their power! Hence it is that the proprietors of Warner's safe cure claim to cure so many apparently different diseases—it and It alone reaches and cures tin cause, and then, of course, the effects disappear 1 We incline to the belief that their theory U correct and so recognized by scientists who have given the subject-much study. This f rightful disorder is depopulating our homes faster than we are aware of. Like the avalanche of the mountain, it is causing the death of all with whom it comes in contact. It docs not Bweep away an entire village or hamlet at once, but one by one the people succumb to its pitiless power. The final, or terminating, cause may be given another name and be so treated by various “experts,” bat the cause of all these effects, how many soever they mar be, is the same, and for that cause there is but one rational form of treatment; It you do not crush.ths avalanche as it is forming, in the manner Indicated, it will certainly crush you t Take your choice 1 Somctuixg peculiar about a match No matter how you drop it it always Lights on its head—if it lights at alL—C fcrr.’and O’ua.
