'I'lic fbiiuoial condition is
gradusi'ly growing better. All
of our banks sireiu good shape
and if thopoople will only have
c-cinf ill uce and he patient ajl
will be well. Pr o t conditions
art! imt din' to mismanagement
of the hanks. Imt by speculntois
and gamblers in WjiII street.
A white lawyer said the other
day that all Negro lawyers had
b -tier look out His meaning
is ti lil tie obscure as all mem-
bers of llio bar come under Hie
same rubi in United Slab's and
in Male courts. We tiro willing
lo take our chances.
The Colored people of the now
i
sttite will organize a league for
their .protect ion no one of the
officers will be a lion resident
u mutter what his calling may
be. '
All things considered Okla
lioilia today is the very bus W
-Isife in (l he Union for our people
and wo invito thim l come in
spito of tins threats of some
people who desire us to goolso-
wlmrc. Lovers of light and
fiir play arc still in tho major-
ity regardless of psirly sittilisi
timis mid (iOD IS NOT DEAD.
Thero is work bore for us to do
a id no one but a coward will
shirk his duty.
His said that when tho Trans
Mississippi Congress refusoiMp
allow tho Colored delegate from
Coffcyvillc to bo seated tho en
lire delegation went homo.
This shows that Kansas is still
(Hod's country. Tho real men
in every country tire in favor of
right. It is only tho little fel-
I -ws who accident ly g..f f a t
b:g pkices that show their bad
breeding.
.Muskogee county and city
will continue to grow and pros-
per. Those seeking homes
should come to the new state of
Oklahoma and to Muskoj.o-
county. Lauds having good
tilles can bo bought here at reas-
onable prices. Come now before
it is too late.
The state legislature meets
at Guthrie on the second day of
.December. There will not he
anything of importance accom-
plished before January. In the
meantime wo should remember
The present county nflieials
that are recognized by the court
are doing; business anil sire all
competent men even if some of
them sire oil' in their politics.
No they can't disfranchise
the Negro any more than they
can the Indian white man Jsip
sir Chinsiinai'. If they make an
educational qualification they
will loose sis much as we do. If
they make ;t propoity qualifica-
tion the same holds true. The
grsmd father clause is si desid
number. Just wsitcb tho next
battle. There ' will bo some-
thing doing.
The fellow who sulk's in his
tent and plays the baby act by
saying nothing can bo done is
a coward and dererves sill thiit
begets. The right to vote and
hsive that vote counted is si
sacred right and ho who re-
fuses to fight for that right is si
eowsird and si poltroon and is
not worth his loom in li I.
