WOODBOW'S ADVICE TO THE COLORED MAN. Celebrating the Emancipattoa Act at Sprlnar Grove Some Wholesome and Outspok en Truth Plain Talk "Without Taffy The Only ltoyal Uoad to Prosperity. Tr& Woodrw la tb. Suffolc (Ta ) ObMrvor. Emancipation was the national endorsement of a natural right. It gave the colored man political free dom, and gave Lim the opportunity of making the best he could of him self in the march of civilization. In person and prosperity he is guaran teed the protection of the law, and has his equal claim on every right belonging to a citizen and a man. Here be stands to-day, with the great question left to himself to settle. What will the Colored Mm do'jDilK himself It is now purely a matter ol capacity, is ic equal to his opportunities? Will he climb the ladder, or remain in the ditch? Can he keep time witn the proces sion, or will be be at its tail? lie must move on, or be must rot. hx pecting special favors because of his color is absurd and deceptive. It cannot be in a free government, that the Afro-American has mere 'avors than any other citizen, what ever his creed or his color. The same laws that shape the conditions of success, morality and progress, with a Yankee, a bcandinavian. or an Irishman, operate without parti ality or distinction or the progress of the Negro. His national rights are one thing, his acquired rights are another, lne one has made him a free man the other alone can place him in the status ol self-respect and national influence. Education is in his rch. lie can grow wise ordie as a fool quite as he pleases. The amp is put in bis bands, by which he can find his way from the bottom of a pit to the top of a hill. lie can have the aspirations of intelligent meital life, or keep in the dirt like a craw-fish or a turtle. The rewards of Industry are at his call, lie can take his basket to the apple tree, and pluck and eat, or he can loaf under the branches expect ing the pippin to drop in bis mouth, lie most abide by the laws of econ omy and tnmt. save more aad spend less. Secure prosperity and with it the standing it gives in social lie. Earning ten dollars and spend ing twelve is a short but certain cow path into the swamp. The colored race in Georgia represent f 40.000.- 000 of taxable property. "Go, then, and do likewise. Character tells as a vital qual;ty im life. It is the hydraulic of per sonal and social elevation. Aim to be as honest and truthful as the beet of sten, and take your place among the standards and not the dwarfs of virtue and maaliuess. All this is personal. It cannot be done by proxy. It is lever brought along in a political wheelbaTOw. The road to prosperity and a bartel of flour, is not via Washington, but by tee good old-fashioned way of elbow grease, common sense and personal virtue, i ulnii tnese conditions, and the f EC03D KMAXClrATION of the colored man will be an assured fact, and a nat'.onal pnde. It Would be a Disgrace. rbDadtlpMe Tiaae. It is reported that Mr. Mueli,, the late United states Marsnai ol i luriaa who was detected in open court in the prostitution of the jury box to partisan aims, and who was forced ti riv up his office, is to be appointed Collector ci the Pert of 1'ensacola. ft would be a positive disgrace to the President, to bis party and to tha government to appoint Mizell to anV oiuce. n it snaii d uoue it can be explained only on the theory that tha President is already engulfed in tha slimv embrace of the disreputable Southern political traders by bis hunt for delegates to the national conven. tion of 1892. Surely no considera tions vf self-respect or of public duty could dictate such an appointment, sod, if made, it mutt stand as a mon. omefit of the disgrace of the admin istration.

Hw York ET.nlug flunl A terrible occurrence has just hap. pened at Wolle, near Sollub, in Prus sia. Three months ago an inhabitant of that place married a very pretty young working woman. The other night the neighbors were awakened byagreatneise and prolonged shrieks and groans coming from the room of the newlymarried couple, but they went to sleep again when the noise ceased. The next day the door of the room remained shut, and a locksmi'.n was eventually sent for. When the door was burst open a horrible spectacle presented itaeli to the sight or, the neighbors. The husband, embued in blood, with foam on his lips, was ex tended on the bed, which was torn and covered with coagulated blood, By bis aide the wife was sleeping her last sleep.

REMEDY FOR HARD TIMES. The Farmers' Alliance Makes Suggestions to the Senate. Washikqtok, April 22. The Senate committee on agriculture and forestry to-day had under considera tion Senator Vance's bill to provide lor a system of warehouses for farm produce throughout the country, to be operated upon deposits of grain therein. Colonel Pjlk, president of the National Farmers' Alliance, read a long argument in support of the measure, which he said was formula ted by the committee appointed lor that purpose by the convention of the National Farmer' and Industrial Alliance, held in St. Louis, December 3. 1889. He sketched the decline in agricultural values in the face of marvelous proems and development of other industries and interests du ring the past two decades ind in uted that something should be dor-u for the farmer. He charged the fault upon tha financial system of the government which hid r.-sulod in high-priced money and lo.v priced products. , Ihe romedy Colonel Folk sugges ted was: Restore silver to its digni ty and place as a money metal, with all the rights of coinage and all the qualities of leal tender wbk-li gold pos83sses ; issue sufficient amounts of currency direct to the people, at a low rate ol interest, to meet the legiti mate demands of the business of the country and which shall be lecal ten der for all debts, public and private ; secure such issue equal d'gnitr wuh the money metals by basing it on real, tangible substantial values Colonel Polk was follow 1 by Dr. , W.McCune, cha'rmanof the na tional committee on legislation of the Alliance, who addressed hiouelf more particularly to the merits and details of the sysiem of warehouses as ou Iired In the bilL He averted that the merchandise thus stored would not deteriora'e below market ttan- not aetenora e i . , 1 .1 a. a 1 . a whore thfllirarnrpra' hank, in 1889. .
