The colored men of Sau Francisco have a Hancock and English club of their own, and two weeks ago soon after it was started the roll included 75 members. At a recent meeting of the club, Capt. Beverly Dodson, a colored man, gave the boys "a little talk," as he called it, and that little talk contained so much truth, vigorously and eloquently told, that it roused the lis tenersto the greatest enthusiasm. In the course of his remarks Capt. Dodson said some things that it would be well for white folks to hear and think over, and therefore the Chronicle copies an extract from the speech : I am aware that the Republican party seems to think that the colored citizens of the whole country are in duty and in grati tude bound to advocate, support and vote for the candidates of that powerful organi zation. Leading Republican speakers and the Republican organs all insist and keep it before the people that the colored voter who refuses to support that party and its candidates is an ingrate. Why the Repub licans 6hould thus stigmatize the colored man, who, in his conscience, believes it his duty to vote for the Democratic candidates, I cannot discern. To be an ingrate is to re pay some great favor or obligation with m gratude. Now, what great favor has the Republican party ever done the colored race which our race has not over and over and over again abundantly repaid? What obligation is there resting upon the colored race in this country, from the Republican party, which we have not more than lairly discharged? I know I shall be answered by the Republicans that it was their party which emancipated the colored race from bondage and put the ballot in their hands lor their own protection as jree and equal citizens of this great republic, In the main this is true. But let us consider the whole case as it stands. To do this we must go back to the beginning. It will take us a long way back ; but no matter how far back we must go all the way to get at the root of the subject and to start right. Now, my good friends, in order TO SET A PEOPLE FREE FROM BONDAGE the fact must exist that they arc in bond age. How did it happen that the colored race are in bondage? Who imposed bond age upon the race in this country? God did not. It was the white man who did. Who were the white men that did this grievous injustice and terrible outrage to our race in this country? I will tell you, as truthful history tells me. You will fiud the authentic statement in the works of the great New England historian, George Ban croft. He tells us that for two hundred years the colonists of New England cap tured and sold the Indians they had driv en from the lands they seized for them selves into slavery in foreign lands. And also were they the first to institute, negro slavery. It wa9 a Boston church going merchant who first took slaves from Africa to New England, and it was a Massachu setts ship which carried the poor African into that colony to sell them as slaves. More than S00 years ago Boston merchunts opened the direct traffic in slaves from Africa. And that was the beginning of negro slavery in America. Then, when the war of American independence was gained, and the thirteen states prepared to form the republic of the United States, the representatives ot Virginia and some states in the convention that made the constitu tion wanted to have the African slave trade stopped, but the representatives from New Hampshire and Massachusetts and Con necticut insisted that it should be kept open for twenty years longer, until 1808, and they carried the day. Tho New Eng land states voted to continue the slave trade because their ships and their merchants had the monopoly of the trafllce all to themselves, and the New England people got rich by taking rum from New England and trading it for the slaves they sold to the people of the south. It was by this Infamous trado slavery was established and kept up in the south. And this is tho true history of the ilavo trade in the United States, and how African slavery ex isted in the south. Besides, tho people of tho northern states DID NOT EMANCIPATE THEIR TOOR SLAVES at once, as they compelled the people of the south to free their slaves. They passed laws by which their slaves were made to serve them until they were too old to earn a living for themselves, and many of the younger slaves were shipped away to the 6outh and sold there. So that tho emanci pation of slaves in the north did not cost the masters anything. They cither sold their slaves when in tho prime of life to southern masters or compelled all they kept to work for them until they got all work they could, and then cast them oil" in their old age to shift for themselves. So, when we come to examine history and look at tho fucts in tho light of truth, we find that it is people ot tho north who owe the colored race tho obligation they now try to put upon us. But wo must not stop at this. Let us sec how these Repub licans of the north acted during tho time teey had supremo power in their own states, concerning the colored race. Be fore the war and while the war lasted they had control of their, own states and of the government. Did they give the negro the ballot in all that time? No, they did not. Did they elect colored men to office? No. It was not until alter the war that they gave the colored people the privilege of the ballot. They first gave it to the freed men of the south who were ignorant and not at all so well qualified lor it as the col ored people ot tho north were, who could read and write and were accustomed to freedom. It was not until 1869, five years after the war, they ratified the fifteenth amendment, which gave tho elective fran chise to the colored people in every part of the United States to vote. Who have most profited by the elective franchise to the colored people? In the north wo never hear of a colored man go ing to congress, and very few of them not half a dozen have been sent to the state legislature. How many of our people are elected in strong Republican communities to offices of high trust, honor or emolument sheriffs, county clerks, mayors, alderman, &c? I need not tell you that NONE OF THEM HAVE EVER BEEN ELECTED Governors or lieutenant-governors. Still, they nearly all have always voted the Re publican ticket, and they keep on voting it, as if it wbb the only ticket they could vote. It is about high time we should begin to look about and do something for ourselves, and to show these ungrateful Republicans that we are men, not machines for them to run as they direct; that we appreciate the blessings of freedom, and with it are deter mined to do something for ourselves, if only to teach them that we are a thinking, re flecting and manly people, as well as grate ful and considerate for those who are our friends and who honestly and earnestly sympathize with us. Tho constitution is the same for the white man and colored man. It is the same for all races admitted to citizenship and all classes. It assures to us the same as it does to every other race or class, the liberty to vote as we please. If we cannot do this, if we are oblige to vote as white Republicans direct us to vote, our bodies may be free, but our minds and our con sciences are not free they are enslaved and subject to the will and caprice of our harsh political masters, who compel us to do the voting by which they shall enjoy the rich offices and feast on the fat of the land. If it was for this we were invested with the ballot, let them take it away it is a worse form of slavery than that which our unfor tunate race bo long endured in the south. In conclusion, Capt. Dodson stated that he believed that the Democracy were truer friends to the colored race than the Repub licans. Ho then caustically reviewed Gar field's Chinese career and his corrupt rec ord, and urged them all to vote for Han cock and English, if only for ono reason, and that was the anti-Chinese plank in tho Domocratic platform.

"A young friend of mine was cured of an insatiable thirst for liquor, which had so prostrated him that ho was unable to do any business. He was entirely cured by the use of Hop Bit ters. It allayed all that burning thirst; took away the appetite for liquor; made his nerves steady, and he has remained a sober and steady man for nioro than two years, and has no desire to return to his cups; I know of a number of others that have been cured of drinking by it."

The Popularity of the Equitable Life A.vsurance Society, indicated by the fact that for Eleven years its average an nual Xew Rusiners has been larger than that of any other Company in the world, is due, in a great measure, to its well known promptness in the payment of Death Claims, audits rule never to take advantage of technicalities where an equitable claim exists. As a GUARANTEE of this, and to counteract the perni cious influence of a technical policy, adhered to by many companies, the Equitable makes ALL ITS POLICIES, old and new, throughout the United States, ABSOLUTELY INCONTESTABLE, 'After the policy has been in force for three years. "The Equitable Life lias paid siiice its organ ization to January 1st, .10, 851,882,736,"and closed its Looks upon that date without a con tested or past due claim." The Equitable Life Assurance Society was the first to in troduce the T0XTISE SAVINGS FUND POLICY, And thereby to popularize life insurace to a degree before unknown. By the late report of the Insurance Commissioner for the states of Massachusetts and Xew York, the Equitable Life Assurance Society shows the following strong points: FIRST The Equitable has a larger ratio ot assets to lia l ilitiesthan any of the leading companies. SECOND The Equitable saved more of its income last year than any other company. THIRD The Equitable's death rate was less last year than any other of the leading companies. FOURTH The Equitable realizes a higher rate of rent, or interest, on real estate than any other company.
