The Oak Leaf club met with Mrs. K Pram Wednesday afternoon and received two pleasant callers, Mes dames H. I'avlor and J. H. Thomp son, of Pennsylvania. M rs. Thomp son made sonic very favorable and interesting remarks concerning the club The Oak Leaf club members are glad to learn that the circulars concerning a convention are being nut with approval.

'■(•urge \\. Smith, secretary of the hanneker club, called the meeting ‘ ’ " r, ier, -uni introduced Spencer P. irman. J. H. Chil l,ers was elected secretary. | 1 > nnan t ailed upon Attor ne l Janies 11 Guy to state the ob ■lert 11-e meeting. Without un r-vcessary preliminaries, Mr. Guy read the letter pub- S'Mi v l.oward Stephens et al, in ( ’pita/, and stated that of that letter and author was the matter before the set! understanding that • l opeka and Shawnee nt } co :M not meet and organize ,° d° !:t b.. )>referment without be-.

The same thing was Je among whites, only on a more sc ale. It was Mr. Steph s ignorance of the Negroes with ' penly boasted that he n ' v 'em! or political dealings. r V closed his remarks by J ,n g tre appointment of a com- Ulltte*. r c - °* live on resolutions. The >n w, carried, and the chair Panted Messrs. George W. Smitff, Tav ßldle >. S. G. Watkins, J. H. B. ' '^atbaniel.Sawyer. While the committee was prepar ing its report, speeches were made by Colonel B. F. Perkins, late of Cuba, who dwelt largely on the “fun damental principles,” and endorsed the charges made by The Capital and Mr. Stephens. This brought red hot remarks from Councilman Fred. Roundtree, who emphasized the fact that there was no protest from The Capital or any other paper against organizing Curtis clubs, but there was as much reason for one as the other. Mr. Nat. Sawyer, for the commit tee on resolutions, read the follow ing resolutions, which were adopted: Pursuant to the following notice by a number of the colored voters of this city and county : ‘■There will be a meeting of the colored voters of Shawnee county at 618 Kansas avenue. Friday even ing, January 19th. to take into consideration their political interests in this county.” A number met, and committee on resolutions was appoiifled, WHEREAS, The 1 ope ka Daily Capital purposely misrepresented our motive in calling this meeting, garbled the language of the call, and attempted to prejudice the minds of right-thinking men against our purposes by asserting that the colored men o f this community are engaged in the vile and disreputable practice of holding up candidates ; and “Whkrkas, Inspired by that article, a communica tion written by Mr. Edward Stephens, signed by him self and others, alleged, without duly consideriag and properly informing themselves of the objects and purposes of the colored people, that he and his kind who monopolize the intelligence, the wealth and the virtue of the colored people, had not been consulted, and they viciously, scurrilously and ridiculously at tempt to defame and to further degrade their own people by purposely mis-spelling words, thereby seek ing to reinforce the white man’s idea of the ignorance and depravity of their own race ; and “Whkrkas, The Topeka Daily Capital , consistent with its undeviating course in striking a blow, where ever and whenever it can at the advancement and or ganization of the colored people in any of their en deavors, as witness its support of the attempt to dis franchise the colored men in the national convention ; therefore, he it "Resolved, That we denounce the action of The Capital in purposely misrepresenting our motives while honestly trying to better our condition politic ally,and that we desire to dsk The Capital where it is. For its actions do not square with its custom, as it has been masquerading as the Negro’s friend, while stabbing him in the back at any and every opportun* ity. Be it further "Resolved, That we denounce the said Edward Stephens as being a fraud of the first water and an enemy of his race. This Is proved oy his opposing everything that is to our real interest, and by his seeking to place us in a ridiculous light before the pub lic in his every expression, either verbal or written. "Resolved, That we fa,’Or a close political organi zation of the colored people of this county.” Respectfully, George W. Smith, E. Ridi.ky, S. G. Watkins, J. H. B. Taylor, N. Sawyer. The above resolutions were unani mously adopted. Strong speeches were made by Smith, Jamison, Thomas and Wat kins, who urged the colored voters to stand by those who had stood by the race in all things. Politicians had made promises to the race and had failed to keep them. These men are known, and they should be made to feel the strength of Negro opposition. Mr. Sawyer, in favoring the reso lutions, called attention to the atti tude of The Capital when it question ed the ability of the Negro officers to discipline the Twenty-third Kan sas. A committee of five from each ward was chosen to look after the interests of the Negroes. Somebody Lied. Some of our Missouri friends took The Plaindealer to task for defend ing Cushenberry last year. We take the following from The Daily Capital without comment : Robert Cushenberry, the Topeka Negro who was convicted and sen tenced to be hanged for the murder of Marshal Leonard at Cameron, Mo, will probably be released. The chief wdtness against Cushenberry has confessed that he swore to Cush enberry’s guilt in order to save a friend of his, who is the real mur derer. Cushenberry was arrested in Atch ison by Tom Collier, when the latter was a policeman under Chief C. J. White’s administration. Two Cam eron Negroes, who claimed that they witnessed the shooting of Marshal Leonard, were brought to Atchison to identify Cushenberry, and they pos : - tively identified him as the man who did the killing. Cushenberry was then taken to Cameron, where he was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. Alter the trial one of the jurors was heard to remark that although he did not believe the prisoner guilty, he voted to hang him because he was a Negro, because he thought all peopleof that race ought to be hanged The judge who tried the case is said to have remarked that he was sur prised at the action of the jury, as the evidence against Cushenberry was very weak. Now one of the Negroes who came to Atchison and identified Cushenberry as the mur derer, admits that he was convicting Cushenberry to save his friend, the the other Negro who came here to identify the prisoner. It is also claimed that Cushenberry was in Topeka at the time Marshal Leonard was shot. The real mur derer has left for parts unknown. Tom Collier who arrested Cushen berry claimed the reward of $2,500, and has brought suit to recover it. Cushenberry is in jail at Plattsburg under sentence of death. An Appeal. Editor of The Plairufealer. Allow me space in your valuable journal to speak to the pastors, superintendents, officers and teachers of Baptist churches and Sunday schools throughout tha state of Kan sas. I wish to say to them on visit ing the state from foreign fields, where I have spent over eighteen months spreading knowledge ot the truth and doing what I could in disseminating the principles of the grand eld church ( Missionary Bap tist, of course,) I find Rev. P. W. Barker sick-listed, and it is said that he has been upon the list nine or ten months and for the past four months he has been unable to perform pastoral duties and has been confined more or less to his bed. It is said that his condition has baffled the skill the physicians of the city. In this state, I believe the sympathy of the pastors, churches, Sunday schools, friends and lovers of the cause of Christ, should be awakened to the fact that a man who hath labored in the work of the gospel ministry in organizing churches, conventions, encouraging and aiding ministers, churches and Sunday schools, both by his counsel, admiration, prayers, time, sermons and money, such a man in our rank and file who from hard labor loses his health and strength and falls upon the battlefield, and it is known throughout the state that he has fallen and become unable to do the w'-ik of a pastor, it does seem to me that such a man should be aided by those whom he has for the space of 13 or 14 years, not ceased to work' preach, teach and exhort from city to city and from house to house in the cities where he hath gone preaching the things of the kingdom of Christ. This appeal comes to you, brother -ministers, brothers and sisters, super intendents .officers and teachers of Baptist chu.*«hes and Sunday schools who have reaped the benefits of this great man’s Mbor in your fields ; I ask you in thsjtname of high, high Heaven, do you 7l<?t think that each of you in your Churches, Sunday schools, missionary qirCiet, Baptist Young People's meetings, should take one special collection ■for this dear sick brother and forward the same to him in the name of the Lord Jesus as an expression of the services rendered in your organi zations ? Do you believe that a man like this, whose work throughout the state speaks for him louder than words, should have a free-will offer ing ? If so* what say you ? I)o not all speak at once. Let me suggest a little plan that would express our sympathy and show our appreci ation. Let there be a Sabbath set apart to take-a special collection and the same be forwarded to him at Topeka. S. W. Beasley. Muses Did you ever see a pretty woman schoolteacher ? Most of a woman’s “entertaining” is simply filthy gossip about some other woman.’’ Play second fiddle if you’ve a mind to. Sometimes it makes better music than the first. Possibly the happiest moment in a young mother’s life, is when her first baby grows a tooth. A shrewd girl never says outright that she loves her young man; she says she “cares for” him. Eggs are considered such a luxury by boarding-house proprietors that they serve one to each boarder once a week. Upon striking a strange town, the first thing a printer does is to culti vate the acquaintance of the saloon keepers. After a woman manages to save a few pennies for a rainy day, it rains, she grabs an umbrella, and goes shopping. “It is much nicer to be a ‘good thing,’ and know it,” says a woman philosopher, “than to be a ‘good thing,’ and not know it.” Every man who goes into a church choir, really thinks he can sing; every woman is there principally for effect: to show’ her latest gowm. No man who intends confining himself to newspaper work, should marry. A w’ife and a newspaper, like oil and water, will not mix. It is always a woman’s argument that if a man doesn’t particularly care for the women folks, he has been jilted by some one of them. Some people talk about committing suicide, by jumping into a riveT, who are not brave enough to use a great quantity of water in taking a bath. Every “literary woman” whose ideas soar high as to ideals, finally settles down to a common condition, and marries a barber or a hotel waiter. The average woman, while looking for what she terms a “high ideal” for a husband, never stops to think that he might possibly be looking for a “high ideal” for a wife. Some folks believe in the phrase “Do unto others as you would that others should do unto you, but they would that you should do all the doing. When a woman prefaces her re marks with, “Now, if you’ll promise not to tell,” etc., look out: she is going to invent a great big lie that would put Ananias to shame. If a young man fails to write “Sweetheart” on a ruled line in a let ter to a young woman, and is com pelled to write it between the lines, designating the words it should come between, he is faking. “If,” writes a thoughtful observer, “you are going to say ‘St. Joe'in ab breviation of St. Joseph, why not say ‘St. Jim’ in abbreviation of St. James, or ‘St. Lew’ in abbreviation of St. Louis? One is just as sensi ble as the other. Washington. 0. C. Staff Correspondence of The Plaindealer. Your correspondent had a very pleasant and interesting chat with Mr. Calloway, the special agent for the Negro exhibit at the Paris Ex position. If enthusiasm and earnest effort count, Mr. Calloway is sure to make a creditable showing for the race. He proposes making a tour of the South and West, and will visit the Sunflower state. He expressed the hope that Kansas would be rep resented in the exhibit. Congressman Curtis, who is inter ested in all that pertains to the ad vancement of the race, informs me that the committee on appropriation will recommend the appropriation of the $15,000 asked for by Mr. Cal loway to meet the expenses neces sary in collecting material necessary for the*e>hibit. Congressman Caul derhead is also interested in having the colored people- in Kansas make a showing of their progress. I felt safe in assuring Mr. Calloway that he would have the hearty co-opera tion and support of the leading col ored men and women in Kansas. Mr. J.~H. Hale, o?' Scil th Glaston bury, Conn., who owns anl operates farms in both Connecticut and I Georgia, gave some very inter<Nj n B testimony betore the industrial com j mission this week, especially inter esting to the Negro. He claims that lored farm labor is more satis factory than the same class of white labor in the North. In the South colored labor is much cheaper. The Negro is more faithful and takes great interest in his work, and is cap able of performing about the same amount of work as the white labor tr of the North. He thinks the Ne gro has a good future on the farm, and that his failures have been be cause of a lack of capital and from farming too much land without abil ity to attend to it properly. Our esteemed friend, R. W. Thompson, of The Colored American staff, has been appointed to a $1,200 position in the census bureau. The recorder of deeds’ office, where Mr. Thompson was a popular and efficient clerk, is the loser and he the gainer thereby. Mr. Thompson by his pen and his voice has rendered great ser vice to the Republican party in his state (Indiana) and the country at large, and his situation is but a fit ting reward to a faithful and valua ble worker. It is true that the colored people have control over the colored schools —and are given one-third of the whole number of teachers and a third of the appropriations made by Con gress for the District public schools —but in the other branches of the District government the race has very little representation. It is safe to say that the only way they- can hope to secure a fair share of Dis trict patronage will be by suffrage. A majority of the whites arq opposed to suffrage in the District, and it is very doubtful whether it will be grant ed so long as the balance ot power is held by the Negro. The colored people of the District of Columbia are to be congratulated upon the appointment of Mr. Mon tague as assistant tax assessor. The appointment is a deserving one, and meets with general approval. Mr. Montague entered the service as a messenger, and by his merit,and mer it only, has advanced to his present position. For years the colored peo ple have been contending for sub stantial recognition from the Dis trict commissioners, and considering the fact that they make up one-third of the population of the District and pay a considerable portion of the taxes, their contention is not unrea sonable. The good (?) citizens of Wilming ton, N. C., who were responsible for Editor Manley’s hasty departure from that town to Washington, will, [no doubt, be overjoyed (?) to learn of his appointment to a $l,OOO posi tion in the Washington City post of fice. The Plaindealer congratu ates Mr. Manley, and hopes he will find his new employment more re munerative and pleasant than editing The Daily Record at Wilmington. The Second Baptist Lyceum, one of the oldest and best-known literary organizations among the colored people of this city, has elected the following officers for the ensuing year : Mr. Richard W. Thompson, president; Mr. R. S. Smith, first vice-president; Mr. C. L. Marshall, second vice-president; Miss Emma E. Tolliver, recording secretary; Miss Almira Cautchfield, financial secretary; Miss Birdie Miller, cor responding secretary ; Miss Evelyn Carey, treasurer; Mr. T. H. Norman, chaplain ; Mr. Benj. Washington, di rector of music ; Miss Lillian V. Green, pianiste’; Prof. B. T. Holmes, cornetist ; Mr. Thomas Ware, chief ot ushers. Paul Bray. Hutchinson. Rev. Hicks, of Huron, Kas., was in the city a few days ago on business ' Mrs. A. Goodbarr, of Enid, Okla., has returned home, after a pleasant visit with his mother and daughter. The ladies of the Eastern Star gave a social and cakewalk Wednes day evening of week before last. Miss Hattie McFadden was the belle of the assembly, and the best little cakewalker in the West. The cake was awarded the two little tots, Essy Davis and Willie Phillips. A good time is reported by every one. f The colored people, of this city, are. as a rule, a very quiet and peaceable people. They are a God fearing people, and are citizens that any city could be proud of. There is a rumor out in other hamlets and villages that the people of this city are the most disrespectful, riotous people in any of the small Western towns. As one who has been reared up in this city, and familiar with most ol the people, having come in contact with them daily for 18 years, do emphatically deny the statement. There are just as nice, refined and highly educated people here as you will find anywhere West of the Missouri line. They are thrifty, energetic and industrious ; have the ability and grit to compete'wi*' ai W American citizen ; all they ask-is, “ Give them a chance to try.” We are ever ready and willing to lend a helping hand to each and every one, and we do hope that the kind and benevolent people of other towns will refrain from ex pressing such vicious thoughts about one another. Instead of trying to down each other’s influence, we should stand shoulder to shoulder— stand in unity—have confidence in each other. J. F.
