COLORED PREACHER IN MIGHTY POOR BUSINESS. When the clerk of the court called the name of Mrs. Mary Hart, Tuesday, October 29th, probably the oldest prisoner ever in the Desplaines street court was arraigned before Municipal Judge Torrison. Mrs. Hart, 1858 Car roll avenue, is a Colored womah one hundred years old. She was arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct on the complaint of D. J. demons, 3534 Vernon avenne, a Colored minister. Knowing nothing about the trouble between Eev. Clemons and Mrs. Hart, but it seems to us that it was very unmanly on his part to have her ar rested and dragged into court. CoL Daniel Moriarity, head of the fighting 7th Begiment Illinois National Guard, is gaining much strength each day in his contest for one of the com missioners of Cook county, and as he has many friends in all parts of it; he looks like an easy winner. v Mrs. Charles Lapsley of Chicago, who for the past three years has been living in Prince Bupert, British Co lombia is en route here from Seattle. Mrs. Coleman was agreeably sur prised when at an early hour her friends came in to remind her that God had spared her to see 76 years of age, being of a retiring nature as her daughter made no mention of the Day, she thought it had been forgotten, and decided to just let it pass by unnoticed but as she afterward remarked, "All things come to he who waits,'1 those present were, Mrs. Taylor, 5628 Wabash, Mrs. Harris, 5208 State, Mrs. Beasley and daughter, 4719 Evans, Mrs. Pope, and Mrs. Johnson, 5402 State, Mrs. V.

IHlaBAKHBHHAiS3 XmXMUZm J. 9GYLJL I The end of the most interesting presidential contest the nation has wit nessed since the celebrated Jefferson Burr contest of a hundred years ago, brings the Colored men of the country in the North and South alike face to face with the political crisis prom ised in 1896, when the bourbon South began the insiduous campaign for the subjugation of the,. Colored citizen a campaign, as all men now see, that culminated in the amazing attitude of Theodore Boosevelt, and in the bold and wicked daring of the captains sur rounding him, who are notorious no less as enemies to a democracy to in clude all men of all races than as buccaneers on the high sea of political plunder. Six weeks ago Colored men had political blind staggers. They saw all things and discerned nothing. They heard a name and saw a-form. They did not realize that that name, once a sign of justice, was become a byword in the seats of the dishonored; and that form, once a majestic figure, was now but a shadow of a mighty man! Theodore Boosevelt, in the first blush of a new political stroke, appealed to the imagination of the great mass of Colored people. But as his plans and purposes nnioided uemseives bexore the people, under the logic and fearful eloquence of leading Colored men, aroused for their people's sake, Mr. Boosevelt 's part in the chief political conspiracy of the century became dear. Zeal gave -way to thought, and thought did its work. Prom Santa Cruz to Nahant, and from the tell-tale waters of Niagara to El Paso, Colored men are now in dread battle against two forces of evil arrayed with like power against them and against their chil dren Mr. Boosevelt and his cohorts on the one hand, and on the other, tie ancient enemies of the state, the party wearing the label of Democracy, but really floating the flag of oppression. The charge has often been made that Colored men follow personalities moving figures in the political arena and that they care little for platforms and principles. That this charge is I shelter from political storm. Adv. without foundation is seen in the al most unanimous rejection by Colored men of the principles of the Progress ive party particularly of a platform that includes .a pledge to every cause save the cause of tho American Negro and their return to the principles and platform of the Bepublican Party, that has stood unmoved against all the changing years, and that now suffers the bitter opposition of the voters be cause the party ieaders refused to betray or desert the Colored Bepub lieans of the South. Colored men know that the woeful possibilities of the Initiative, for by that sign the Democratic party in the South, twin-devil with the Progressive party, disfranchised tho Colored men of the South, starting in Mississippi in 1S90. Colored men are alive to the evil consequences of the Beferendum, for under that star the ignorant white electorate of the South put their seal of approval upon the crimes of the Democratic constitutional conventions that had annulled the spirit and de graded the letter of the amendments to the organic law. Colored men understand the sig nificance involved in the acceptance and adoption bf the Beeall, for they have seen the judiciary of an entire nation tremble when they should be strong in the law against the ignorant wrangle of the mob. Colored men are aware that the property and personal and political rights of the Negro race would in no wise be secure or sacred if a Beeall by the prejudice-drunken poDulaco awaited a judge who dared to be true. Theso are. principles, eternal prin ciples, and Colored men everywhere are awake to them, their importance, their significance and their possibilities. Booker T. Washington, himself a great Bepublican, and an ardent advoeate of the re-election of President Taft, is right: the interest of the Negro every where is one, and he is again right when he boldly 'takes his place under the Bepublican banner as the safest JOSEPH E. BIDWILL, JB, Cleric of the Circuit Court and Bepublican Candidate for Be-election to tia same Position Tnesday November 5th. Commended by all the judges m Bureau of Efficiency. Joseph E. BidwiB, Jr., the present efficient clerk of the Circuit Court, and Bepublican candidate for re-election to the game position, Tuesday, November 5th, was born in this city July 1, 1883. His parents Mr. and Mrs. Joseph E. BidwiB, were also born in Chicago, and have witnessed its marvelous growth, from a fair sized country town, to one of tho best and one of the largest and most enterprising cities in the world.

The spectacle of twjj great American cities lashing themselves into the fury of a Georgia lynching mob, over an alleged offense as deplorably common among whites, as campaign lying, is a record exhibition to this old gray world of easting hypocracy, especially, on the part of a Nation with three millions stnlattees, quadroons and oc-tar8oas,-among its native born popula tion, and that has made wife, swapping and divorce an .established instiatien.
