" Them Guhd Moses."
To the Editor of The advocats.
What I mean by the above are those
colored men that are peeing before the
public as representatives of the n gro
race. In time past, and up until very
recently, Tope ka was very ell supplied
with this class of Simon's, and they, too,
are men whom the more uneducated and
unrefined look to as their leaders and ap
ply to for advice. They are men whom
we had confidence In. They are men
that we expected to come to our succor
when In our humiliation our judgment
was taken away. But we have been de
ceived; They tell us to stand up for Kan
sas, and never say a word about standing
up for ourselves.
The voters of we common people have
helped to elect some of these leaders to
office more than once; and when we
voted for them, we thought that we were
voting for men that would raise their
voice In our behalf at all times and under
all circumstances, when the rights of
their people were at stake. But to my
sorrow we have been deceived; Moses
has lost his moral courage, else he Is
playing the part of Judas for a few pieces
of silver.
Since the decision of the civil rights
case has been handed down, I have not
heard a word nor read an article (from
those leaders) denouncing the decision.
These men have always been so ready to
advocate our cause. Why dont they
come to our rescue now? Will they play
the man, and let their voices be heazd, or
will they continue to play the coward,
and be mute?
In my opinion, there Is no negro that Is
Informed and who respects his race but
what thinks that It Is an outrage to
society and an insult to good morals for
a man to be denied his social rights in
free and bleeding Kansas on account of
his color. Very likely, if this had taken
place in Texas, Georgia or some other
state that we are prejudiced against,
there would have been indignation meet
ings held In this city, presided over by
the "Moses," denouncing the decision,
and allotlng the judge his future potion
with those that have gone the wrong
way. But in this case they are not as
active as they might be. I sometimes
think that they care very little for their
people, or they are present when the
dividend is declared.
Can they conscientiously ask our
future confidence and support? They
remind me of some people I know that
went west to fight the M Injuns" until
the war was over, and now they talk of
the M great honors we received, and how
we have restored peace and brought
prosperity to our country;" and, in fact,
lots of those "Injun" fighters never had
an engagement. I guess my men are
away fighting M Injuns."
In conclusion, I will ask If some of
those honorable and influential gentle
men won't make a fsw suggestions to we
Ignorant and unrefined class? Let me
hear of you doing or saying something
at least that will give us comfort and
ease our troubled minds.

To the Editor of Ths Advocate.
Noah Allen, one of the presidential
electors on the People's party ticket,
spoke here this afternoon to the largest
audience that has assembled here this
year. He has been named the "thunder
bolt orator" by the Denver News, and is
well named, for hie drops like a thunder
bolt on the "stand ups, keeps his audi
ence well entertained and interested, and
made very many strong arguments in
favor of the People's party.

Agaisst Jerry.
Wichita Beacon.
Advices from Kansas contain much to
warrant the hope that the lion. Jerry
Simpson may be elected in November to
stay at home and grow up witn the coun
try. In that event the Bootless dema
gogue of the untutored west will be very
pleasantly raised In the halls of congress.
New 1 ork Frm.
The above is run on the editorial page
of the Hutchinson News and various
other republican papers. Now the ques
tion is naturally suggested: Why should
people in New York desire the defeat of
Jerry Simpson?
There are no New York papers taking
any particular interest in the defeat of
Funston. Then it must be that Jerry
Simpson's vote in congress is not given
every time in the interest of New York,
while New York republicans have no
reason to be displeased with Mr. Funs-
ton.
The majority of republicans sent to
congress from Kansas have been mere
tools In the hands of eastern monopolists.
The republican congressmen from Kan
sas vote for any and every single gold
standard scheme originating In Wall
street and every robber tariff scheme In
the Interest of New England. That is
just what Chester I. Long will do If
elected and that Is just what Jerry Simp
son will not do, and that is why the mo
nopolies all over the country want Jerry
Simpson defeated.
This vigorous fight against Jerry Simp
son by monopolist organs all over the
country ought to open the eyes of every
voter of the Seventh district So far as
the interests of Kansas is concerned the
people of this district would just as well
allow New York and Pennsylvania mo
nopolists to elect their congressmen as
to elect a Kansas republican.
