It is devoted principal- j S-jly to foreign affairs, and to the i Salt Lake City, Utah. . fjnancjai questions now uppermost ! .julius f. taylor, „ . iPublisher and Editor. with the people ot thmjjg^ountry. jLiMntered at Post Office as second-classmattermTHE COLORED RACE AT ATLANTA, (Conefaded).u Pharaoh's Horses,” by a 14-year old boy, named W. P. Renn, which shows marvelous ability.Taking the colored people’s exhibition, at this display of American achievements, and it is truly the wonder of the age, when we consider what the race have accomplished since they gained their liberty. One remarkable feature of this display of negro talent is, that nearly all of it comes from the Southern States, where the politician* of the North have always claimed the colored people were bo oppressed and despised, that no substantial improvement could be made by the race. The work of this noble race refutes the falsehood, and proves to the world that the negro is prosperous and happy in his old Southern home.The Broad Ax has taken considerable pains to get the data and information from reliable sources, of what our people are capable of doing, The foregoing is a new era in the hiatory of the negro, and should encourage and stimulate every colored man or woman in the States, to earnestly strive to raise the standard of excellency above that of the past. If the negro will continue to advance, and “help himself” to the golden opportunities at his hand, the race will soon become the envy as well as the admiration of the world.S!mWith reference to the Tatter, the President's utterances will be a disappointment to the people of theSouth and West. The President will doubtless receive the support of the money power in the East, regardless of party, and it would seem he has had an “itching palm1' to eater to their wishes, during his entire! term.He favors the retirement of greenbacks and treasury notes, of allowing National Banks to increase their issue ten per cent. He favors the issuing of bonds, to maintain the * ‘national Jack Pot,” commonly known as the gold reserve, and he most earnestly opposes free coinage of silver.From the attention he gives the free coiners, it is evident he does believe the question is settled, or that the “silver craze/’ has subsided; but on the contrary he evidently fears the avalanche that is coming and seeks to stay its progress. There is nothing new in his argument against silver, as every point has been met and an- ° o swered by theadvocates of the white metal. The only effect of the message on this subject, will be tocause the lines to be more closely drawn, and the fight to be brought to a finish at an earlier date. Let every friend of silver show his hand, == and step forward an*i enlist in the contest for 1896.The only thing for which we commend the President in this regard, is his unequivocal utterances; he is honest and outspoken if nothing more.SolHi!STe:FinO OStaFloEAT EUREKA.Last week the editor of the Broad Ax made a flying trip, via Rio Grande Western, to the stirring city of Eureka, and found, not only a lire town, but a lot of genial, big-hearted gentlemen.
