REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET.
For Ireiileiit
HKNJAMIN IIAKKISO.V

For Vice-l'rc shlent
WHITKI.AW KIKIi
of Xew York.
I)avii. B. . J Uli.Vh ''--tlie tarilf
li.uik of the phdform adopted at
Chicago has made every workshop
nml factor) in the United States a
republican campaign headquarters.
That is what consoles the senator
for the loss of that nomination.
WllKX the alliance first started we
were told that it was not a political
party; that politics had nothing to
do with the organization. That be
ing a fact, then why is it that the
politicians are now at the head of
and running it? Who have contral,
the farmers or a few of the politi
cians from the other old organiza
tions"' Did any farmer come in for
the nomination? Not that you can
see with the naked eye. David City
News.
THE light is on, and there is no
questioning the issues. It is pro
tection to American industries,
American homes and American
people as against free trade, a de
struction of our industries, and a
pauparizing of our people. Ameri
cans should not hesitate as to how
they will vote upon such an issue.
The republican party that has saved
this union from destruction at the
hands of democrats, must still pre
serve it. The men who failed in war
are now attempting by different
methods to accomplish what they
fought for then. Republicans must
be loyal to their country. Beatrice
T imes.
SALUTE THE FLAG AND VOTE.
The United States fiscal year
closed last week, June 30. Uncle
Sam finds himself in good condi
tion, thank you.
For the first time in the history of
the nation the export of American
merchandise and American pro
ducts amounted to more than a bil
lion dollars, or written this way,
more than $1,000,000,000.
The balance of the trade is in
favor of this country by one hun
dred and fifty millions, ($150,000,000).
That is, this country sold toother
countries $150,000,000 worth of goods
more than it bought from other
countries. As long as a man's in
come exceeds his expenditures he
prospers. It is the same way with
nations.
The national debt during the 3-ear
was reduced by $11 ,386299, or nearly
a million dollars a month.
There is a surplus in the treasury,
including the gold reserve, of $120,
arill. When the.republican party
reduced the duties on many arti
cles and removed it from others
notably sugar, entirely, the demo
crats predicted a bankrupted trea
sury. But the republican party
has been able to give a practical
demonstration of a system of tariff
duties "sufficient for the needs of
the government economically ad
ministered." Salute McKinley8 protection,
Blaine's reciprocity and Harrison's
administration. And vote the re
publican ticket next November.
IN THE BLACK BELT.
Self-help is the best help for any
people and all efforts to teach the
negroes of the south to help them
selves free from the crop mort
gage is worthy of recognition. Gen
eral Samuel C. Armstrong opened
the way for this teaching the negro
to help himself at Hampton, Va.
His success was so flattering and
promised such development of the
race that others have followed.
The great need for such schools as
Hampton where the heart, the
head, and the hand are trained to
gether in the Black Belt, where the
negroes are in the majority. The
work of Booker T. Washington at
Tuskegee, Ala., is one of the most
hopeful efforts at lifting the race
because it is purely "a negro work.
But Tuskegee can not enlighten the
whole Black Belt. Lowndes county,
Alabama, south of Montgomery,
has a proportion of colored popula
tion to white of seven to one. These
colored people are desperately poor
and unexperienced, renting land,
raising cotton and giving crop
mortgages at the begiuing of the
year that take the whole crop, all the
farm, implements and the mule at
the harvest time.
Two Yankee girls with experi
ence in General Armstrong's meth
ods at Hampton, where they spent
several yeais as teachers, visited
Alabama last winter, hunted
through the Black Belt and thought
they found at Calhoun, Lowndes
county, the most needy location for
an industrial school that would
teach children of the negroes how to
help themselves by becoming me
chanics and practical farmers,
while giving them the rudiments of
an education.
In Calhoun there are 2,50) colored
people and only 100 whites. These
Yankee girls propose to establish a
school in that place. The negroes
promised to raise $500 for the school,
and the young ladies raised the
other funds needed among their
friends in New England. The) have
a school house, several shops.Janda
farui jf JV.'eTIty aci"es to'negin with.
1'hey will open their school in Octo
ber, and begin their model farm
next year. They have been offered
eighty additional acres at a price of
$20 an acre, and a northern gentle
man has offered $2f ) toward this
purchase provided the remaining
$1,100 can be raised. The two Yan
kee girls who have undertaken this
work of establishing a school in the
heart of the Black Belt ate Mabel
W Dillingham, of Nashua, N. II.,
and CharllotteK. Thorn, of Walling
ford, Conn. The Yankee girl still
has the same pluck that she dis
played before the war, when she
went south to teach the slaves to
read and write. Inter Ocean.

say, "Oh, it will wear away," but in

Could they be induced to try the
successful Kemp's Balsam, which

cure, the3 would see the excellent
effect after taking the first dose.
