L. a WILLIAMS,
Editor and Pbobietob.
The ministers of the gospel should
exercise more faith in Christ's teach-
: ngs and stop fighting other church de-
nominations not of their sect and faith.
3 uch a course has a tendency to make
the doubting Thomas more skeptical
as to the effaey of Chrfstian churches
to lift the human race from its fallen
state. Denominations end at the grave.
If your heart is not purified here on
earth your doctrinal preaching will no
carry one through the pearly gates.
In no stage of the game is the Nagro
wanted in the councils of the white
man, except when there is a political
contest on hand; then his influence is
sought and inducements held out to
capture Negro votes for party candi-
dates. After the,votes have been cas
and counted the Negro is not needed
Until the next political contest roils
around. The Negro as a political force
should unite and select their candi-
dates, as do the white voters.
Yes, the Observer is for Judge C. E.
Burnham at this stage of the political
game in preference to P. S. Brown, be-
cause .Mr. Burnham is not handicapped
by sucii a barnacle as Street Superin-
tendent Sloan, and lias done more for
the Negro than any one of the city hall
clique. Mr. Burnham has made no
pre-election pledges to any one, and
•>s under no personal obligation
to any political ward heeler or the
Jones gang of office leeches, but comes
before the people on his record as a
progressive citizen and police judge,
a>t as a chronic otfieeseeker or as the
andidate of the city liall clique, as he
is not made of the stuff that is so plia-
ble in the hands of a designing cabal
such as the city hall ' chair warmers."
The editor of the Observer had a Jper-
sonal misunderstanding with Judge
Burnham, and got the but end of the
law, but the editor does not allow his
personal grievances to dwarf the Ob-
erver's duty as the organ of the Negro
race in Kansas City to prevent him
from advising the colored voter to
chose the least of two evils—between
an officer who has executed the law ac-
cording to the statutes and a profes-
sional politician weighted down with
ersonal obligations to his political
* rooters."
When the Times or any person con-
nected therewith says the editor of the
Observer murdered the King's English
in his remarks at the Tenth ward meet-
ing the other night, as ungrammati-
cally reported bj that paper Monday
morning, is guilty of an unmitigated
falsehood. We doubt if any one con-
nected with the Times staff can write
an article with fewer grammatical er-
rors and with clearer meaning than the
editor of the Observer. The purported
report of our speech made by the re-
porter shows the prejudice which un-
derlies mossback Democrotic papers.
They show that petty envy of the Ne-
. gro journalist who commands the edu.
cational abilty to make his paper felt
in political life that is too contempti-
ble to be considered by intelligent
readers. The editor of the Observer is
well known by the business public
who pronounce the Times' reflection
upon our use of the English language
a barefaced lie.
Prejudice against the Negro seems
to be prevalent among the white peop-
le of America, more so than in any
other country of the world. It
should not be so. The color of a man's
skin or the length of his hair only
goes with him to the grave. If the
holy oracles of the Deity are true, and
all men believe in them to some ex-
tent who have been brought up to serve
the Lord by Christian parentage, that
all men were created free and equal
that if man dies he shall live again
The Oracle does not say black man or
white man—no distinction was made
by the Creator, but against the teach,
ings of an Almighty himself has the
white man assumed to draw the dis-
crimination between himself and his
colored brother. When a man gives
up the ghost he is at sea whether the
mournful throng that surround his last
earthly resting place is white or black,
but he will know when Gabriel blows
his horn and the innumerable cara-
van will shake off the habiliments of
the grave and appear before their God
in His likeness—whiter than the snow.
Hon. W, W. Morgan is favorably
mentioned as a candidate for member
of the upper house,aud should he come
before the people in that capacity
should receive the solid support of ev-
ery loyal voter in this progressive me-
tropolis without regard to past party
affiliations, Mr. Morgan is the cham-
pion of orgonized labor in the business
walks of life and has the sand to "speak
out in meetin'" showing where his
heart and hand is. The ' 'grand old
man" is a true friend of the Negro
man from principle, and has all his
life been his champion for freedom
and independence from the yoke of
servitude. Mr. Morgan has spoken for
the betterment of the black man's con-
dition in Kansas City before every
large commercial representive gather-
ing held in this city since he has been
one of its honored citizens. Negro
voters, show your appreciation for fa-
vors extended to your race by urging
his nomination by the convention or
working for his nomination at the pri-
maries.
The Observer has been requested to
ask the Rising Son, a puerile Negro
publication, whose editor and manager
is a hanger-on at the city hall pie
counter, why it is for P. S. Brown, Jr.,
for the mayoralty and William Sloan
for superintendent of streets, when
a few months ago it swore vengeance
agtinst the last named gentleman. The
Observer calls to mind editorials in
the Rising Son urging that Mr. Sloan
be turned down: but such small mat-
ters were beneath the dignity of the
Observer to exploit, well knowing that
there was "a niggar in the wood pile,"
and he would reveal his identity when
the city hall "push" named its stand-
ard bearer. The posing editor is inca-
pable of writing an intelligent article
defining his position on any issue, and
its business manager is too ignorant to
be considered worthy of notice.
The Observer requests the merchants
and business men of Kansas City to
extend to its advertising columns the
support its position as the organ of the
Negro population of the city honestly
entitles it to and justly should have
from business houses who desire the
Negro's trade. The Negro spends the
larger part of his earnings in the stores
of this city, and it shows a lack of ap-
preciation on the part of the business
managers in not extending to the Ob-
server, the weekly visitor to the homes
of their colored patrons,the small con-
sideratinn it demands and should have
from firms who recognize reciprocity
in business relations.
Hon. J. L. Jewell, member of the
lower house of the common council
from the Third ward, has given
the citizens of the ward he so ably rep-
resents a business term of office, as
more improvements have been inaug-
erated during his incumbency than
under any of his predecessors. He is
a friend of the laborieg man, for every
measure he has championed has been
in their behalf. The Negro never had
a better friend than Mr. Jewell. The
party managers should stand by him
and work to renominate him for the
position he now so ably fills, by so do-
ing they will unite the voting forces
the party will bo successful at the
polls in April. Most of the young men
of the opposing parties, black aud
white, are favorably disposed toward
the present incumbent from the Third
ward and will vote for his detention,
regardless of party lines. Those who
perchance may be delegates to the
nominating convention—if that mode
is adopted—should bear in mind that
in the nomination of Mr. Jewell
for the lower house success is assured
in the Third ward. Strong resolutions
have bean passed in all the meetings
in that ward endorsing his candidacy.

THE NEGRO AT PARIS IN 1900.
The United States Commission to
the Paris Exposition of 1900 has as-
signed space in the Social Economy
building to be used for an exhibit of
the present condition and progress of
the Afro-American, showing, first, the
moral, intellectual and material pro-
gress of the race; secondly, to show
that they are prosperous, progressive
ond valuable citizens ; and thirdly, to
demonstrate to the statesmen of Eu-
rope the true solution of the "Negro
Problem," which is destined to be a
disturbing factor in European politics
and statecraft, which can only be ac-
complished by the evidence of what
has been done by the only government
.that has given the descendants of the
African race an equal chance, without
regard to "color, race or previous con-
dition," as shown by their education,
homes, farms, skilled trades, organ-
ized labor, domestic service, business
enterprises, professions, military life,
churches, books and papers, music and
art, and the work of colored ;women—
as exemplied by essays, photographs,
charts, handicraft, etc. A full exhibit
is desired by the government.as it will
redound to the advancement o£ the
Negro in the battle of life.
HON. JOHN E. LACII.
Mr. John E. Lach, member of the
upper house in the council from the
Eighth ward, is a man of the com-
mon people, in close touch with the
voters who earn their living by labor
and has always worked in the councq
chamber for their common welfare and
in the interest of the taxpayers, and
should succeed himself in the spring
election. He is a staunch friend of
the laboring man, and the Negro has a
true friend in Mr. Lach. This gentle-
man can always rely on the taxpayers
and the labor element for snpport in
any measure he fathers. Air. Lach is
not a professionol officeseeker, but a
plain, every-day business man, which
is to his credit and profit of his con-
stituency. The friends of economical
government should leave no stone un-
turned in their efforts to secure his re-
nomination and the voters will surely
re-elect a tried and faithful public
servant.
Mr. laih has always worked for the
betterment of the conditions of the la-
boring classes and poor men, believing
that the duties imposed upon him in
official capacity demanded j>roper rec-
ognition ofl the wants of the great mid'
die class, and has always endeavored
to have their wants granted by the
council. The Observer heartily in-
dorses the nomination of Hon. John E.
Lach, and will use its influence to se-
cure his election at the polls.
Hon. h. m. gerhart.
Mr. Gerhart, member of the upper
house of the council from the First
ward, has been active, judicious and
pianstaking in all his public duties,
guarding the interest of the taxpayers
and citizens of the First ward with an
eye single to the best interests of his
constituents. Mr. Gerhart is a man of
the common people, and looks after
the welfare of the laboring man with
the same zealous care that he has
guarded the financial interest of the
taxpayers, for it was by his untiring
efforts in the council chamber that a
weekly pay-day was made possible
whereby street laborers and garbage
haulers and the waterworks helpers
are paid once a week, which relieves
them from the necessity of paying a
part of their scanty wages to the time
buyer who lived on the fat of the land
at their expense. The streets and al-
leys have been improved under the
persistent efforts of Mr. Gerhart,
whereas, no doubt, they would not
have been properly attended to but for
his persistent prodding of the streets,
alleys and grade committee.
Mr. Gerhart has always shown his
appreciation cf the laborer ; he employs
corps of men and women in his hotel
who speak in the highest terms of the
fair treatment shown them by their
employer. The colored man never
had a truer friend, for ever since he
branched out into business he has al-
ways given emploj ment to members of
the race.
Mr. Gerhart sliouid be renominated
to succeed himself,as most of the busi-
ness men in the ward indorse hi in and
the majority of the voters will show
their loyalty by casting their ballots
for a public servant who has performed
the duties of his office so faithfully, to
the satisfaction of all. He is a broad-
minded man—the same to all—whose
head never expands.
It was by the personal effort and sac-
rifice of those who went forth to bat-
tle with pen and sword for the coun-
try and flag that the black man is en-
joy the freedom he is entitled to, and
is freely accorded by men who know
political or commercial distinction on
account of color. Such men are justly
entitled to the support of the Negro
voters as a unit when he runs for an
office. The Observer unqualifiedly in-
dorses the candidacy of snch a friend
to the colofed people without reserva-
tion. Those of the Negroes who are for-
tunate enough to be selected as dele-
gates to the nominating convention—
rf a convention is decided upon—
should cast their vote for Mr. Gerhart,
for by doing otherwise they will ba
standing in their own light, and their
political power be counted as nothing.
The Philippines will be held by the
United States government, by virtue
of the bill of sale made by Spain in
Paris, as long as there is a drop of
blood coursing through American
veins. The simple minded and emo-
tional harangues of the anti-expan-
sionists has no more show of stemming
the current of public sentiment in the
matter than was accomplished by Don
Quixote in his ludicrus assault on
the windmill. It would look foolish
ta give up the islands when we have
undisputed title to them guaranteed by
international law and the demands
of civilization under the benificent folds
of the American flag. If the United
States force were to be withdrawn
from those islands the Philopines wonld
be left to the grasping hand of Agnin-
aldo and his personnl friends—the jun-
ta at Hong Kong with headquarters and
treasury in :he saddle, with horse and
rider in the brush lying in wait for the
victim, the producers of wealth—the
working Philopino., Spaniard or Amer-
ican—thus placing the islands under
the heel of brigandage and plunder.
All this sympathetic tommyrot of the
anti-expansionists is very tiresome to
the Am »rican people, who know that
the demagogues don't mean a word
they say.
ODDS AND ENDS.

their eyelids are suspended and sup-
ported and which we do not need.
The cost of huge armies Is commen-
surate with their size. Russia leads
the way with £30,900,000 spent annu-
ally upon her army, Germany coming
second with £27,000,000, and France
third with £26,000,000. Austria spends
£17,300,000, Italy £10,690,000, and
Great Britain £18,000,000, making a to-
tal for the land forces of the six great
European powers of £130,000,000 per
year.
A famous brigand was lately shot in
public execution at Belgrave, Servla,
but the firing party and the spectators
were horrified when the smoke lifted
to see a second body beside the bri-
gand's^ "Mon Dieu! there are two of
thetnl** exclaimed the Black Mousque-
talre. The second man proved to be
a newspaper correspondent who had
approached too near in order to obtain
a realistic account for his paper. He
was successful in increasing its circu-
lation.
At an ancient church at Valsbol, in
Russia, it has Been customary for the
congregation to turn to a blank wall
and bow reverently before leaving the
church. Why they did this nobody
knew, except that their forefathers had
done so, and had handed down the cus-
tom. In making some repairs recently
the origin of the custom was discov-
ered, for beneath many layers of white-
wash and paint a picture was found of
the Virgin Mary, which must have
stood out brilliantly on this wall five
or six centuries ago.
The imagination of the modern in-
ventor is boundless. A cycling enthu-
siast has just come all the way from
the Isle of Man to London in order to
exhibit what he terms the latest de-
velopment in the modern cycle. Cer-
tainly it is a development,which in hot
weather should appeal to thirsty rid-
ers, for the invention is nothing more
ar less than a bicycle heavily charged
with whisky in one tube and brandy in
another. These spirits may be drawn
off by means of taps screwed into the
extremity of each of the two tubes.
OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
Probably owing to the fact that the
duchest; of York's wedding Jewels were
largely composed of turquoise#—her fa-
vorite Rtone—the turquoise has been
coming more and more into fashion.
One of the latest developments >s to
carve heads and initials on them.
It has become quite the fashion now
for bridesmaids to carry baskets ol
flowers instead of bouquets. Special
baskets are made, generally of white
chip, with tall, slight handles. A bow
of ribbon can be added at the top and
the flowers are securely fastened in
position by means of needle and
thread.
American ladies, says an English
writer, have a new fad. They carry
about with them a living ••mascot," or
charm, in the shape of a blaok Wtten,
the idea being that it will aveit catas-
trophe to frfcends or relatives taking
part iC the war. The kitten is some-
times adirried in a bag. It is absolute-
ly necessary that the animal should be
black. How the idea originated we
are not at present informed.
The duchess of Portland is very
keenly interested in temperance and
has done some good work to the cause,
though, no doubt, her natural reserve
would make her shrink from the pub
licity it involves. In spite of beinn
the wife of one of the richest men in
England and mistress of one of its
finest mansions, Lady Portland does
little entertaining. She is, however,
well calculated to shine as a society
hostess, for she has a great charm of
manner and a stately sort of beauty.
She is tall and graceful, with dark hair
and a lily and rose complexion. Her
maiden name was Miss Dallas York,
and she is the daughter of a Yorkshire
squire. It is said that the duke of
Portland first saw her at a railway sta-
tion and was then and there captivated
with her dignified beauty and her
charming manner. Afterward, meeting
her by chance in a London drawing-
room, he began that acquaintance with
her which led to marriage.

Ogether on other subjects, they fall
nto friendly discussion of the weather,
in the last eight or ten years I have
alked weather with 20,000 clever fel-
ows, and the unanimous verdict is that
he seasons are changing, that Christ-
nas is greener than it used to be, and
hat winter lingers scandalously long
m the lap of spring; that we have no
:old weather until January; and no
tutumn until December; that blizzards

Fljares Are Sometlmei Impreic1r<v
An English physicist in a recent lec-
ture, in order to bring to the compre-
hension of his hearers the idea of ulti-
mate particles of water, said tfeat if he
were to empty a tumbler containing
half a pint of water, letting out each
second a number equal to one thou-
»_nd times the population of the earth.
It wonld require somewhere between
7,000,000 and 47,000,000 years to empty
the tumbler. Lord Kelvin says that
If a drop of water were magnified to
the size of the earth the particles would
be between the size of cricket balls and
that of footballs. If that statement is
correct, the drops of water in all the
oceans are not many times as numer-
ous as the particles, or molecules, in a
single drop.

Always Face tlie Knglna,
From the Pittsburg Bulletin: In his
prime the late Mr. John Cook, the
great tourist agent, was a man of iron
frame. But when years of railway
traveling, which averaged annually
some 40,000 miles, produced certain
alarming symptoms, he made a dis-
covery that may be worth giving to
the public. He found that the threat-
ened trouble, something spinal, disap-
peared when he no lorger sat with his
back to the engine. He always there-
after faced it, and that the principle
is sound will be borne out by others
whom he advised to do the same. All
who are called upon to do much rail-
way traveling will be wise to sit "fac-
ing the horses."

New Way to Carry lea.
A West Side man has a novel way ot
transporting ice for use in his family,
says the Columbus State Journal. He
goes to the ice plant near the T. & O.
C. tracks and secures a big piece, which
he places in a bag and then suspends
the bag so that it hangs beneath his
horse. The bag is held in place by a
strap which passes over the back of the
animal, which walks along with the
same ease as if the load of ice were
on his back. Thus there is no danger
of injury to the horse from the cold,
and the ice is easily carried.

Beer Lozengers.
One of the latest German inventions,
report tells us seriously, is beer loz-

and contain all the ingredients of this
popular beverage. The only needful
thing to turn them into a sparkling
ale is to dissolve them in water in
which some carbonic acid gas has been
added.
