Humbles. is impossible for you in your individual capacities, to realize the importance of your individual citizenship here to-day you represent a race of people who are now citizens under the organic law of the I'niied States. I stand here to-day my fellow citizens under the present conditions as chief executive of the state of Illinois, the old rocking cradle of liberty to offer to you that full measure of citizenship which has been guaranteed to you by the fundamental law of theeonstitution of the 1 nited States, ((ireat applause). The. country is engaged in a war, a war such as is unknown to the citizens of this country who live to-day a foreign war.

A foreign foe has insulted that flag, and when that flag is insulted it fires the heart of every patriotic American citizen of the United States, be he black or white. 1 offer you to-day what has not been offered in the history of the world, in the history of your country and mine absolute full measure of citizenship of the 1'nited States, with all the benefits I that it brings. (Groat applause.) I know this is unpopular in some quarters it is not unpopular in iny atmosphere. You. gentlemen being free American citizens, animated with the same spirit of patriosm as all other citizens of different colores are willing to offer your lives upon the alter of your country in this great conflict.

11 has been thought by some that the colored man, that the negro is a fit subject, is a fit man man. to carry a musket, but that he is not capable to command on the field of battle. I look at it, fellow citizens in this way: "If you gowith the army enlist as private soldier in a regiment and that regiment is officered by white officers and if itpon the bloody field of conflict, you should fall and be mowed down, the fault is because the 'dam niggar' would not fight, but if on the other hand, j-ou achieve a victory, marching upon the bayonets and batdements and in the jaws of death plant the flag upon the ramparts, all the glory goes to the white officers who command you." I propose my fellow citizen to be the first man in this broad land to be the first govenor of the United States to offer this full measure of citizenship to the African race, not only to enlist a regiment ot volunteer soldier but to officer that regiment from colonel down with colored men. Then upon the bloody field of conflict, whether it be upon the soil of the L'uited States the islands of Cuba, I'orto Rico or the I'hillippines. or upon the soil of that old descrept nation, you win victory, all the glory of it will go to your officers and your race.

This being so iny fellow citizens, I am going to appeal to you, appeal to in all the earnestiness of your friends and as chief executive of the state of Illinois and say to you that the eyes of your race, that the eyes of this country was a I aro -urnecl upon Camp Tanner and up- on the Eighth Regiment to-day to see if you will justify what I have offered I you. ou have a responsidility devolving upon you. If you have one skulker, if you have one coward, if you have men who under these circumstances when the future of the race is devoting upon is too cowardly to go, let him be inarched out of camp before sundown to-day. (Great applause,) I am sorry my fellow citizens to have to make the announcement I am about to make you. In a cowardly way a sneaking way not quite strong enough to come out into the open, certain, newpaper of this country are sowing the same seeds of treason to-day that they sowed in 1861.

My fellow citizens, it disgrace that one of our own colme of your own kind and race is paper in Springfield to- clay, throwing all the poison and sedition that is possible to defeat the organization of this regiment. (Cries of "lie is here," "He is 1 care not whether he be upon this he lie upon this camp ground, he is a coward and you ought not allow him to be here. Too much devolves upon this occasion, it is to important to your race. 1f you let this opportunity go' by the chances are that there will not be another war in this country in the life of this generation and if that be true, your race will not again in your life time have this opportunity to distinguish itself as loyal patriotic American citizens. 1 appeal to you to see that this regiment is organized and that it is organized 1 strong and that it goes to the front.

I will rest the flag of my countrj- in the hands of these men whose faces I look into here to-day and I am sure they will bring it back covered with honor and glory. (Long and continued applause.) WIIAT IS PATRIOTISM? In the tima of war the question is often ask what is Does it consist in the love of country, its institutions aud its laws? Or on the other hand does it consist in the love of the fundamental principle of right justice and equality of all people? We want universal patriotism that is broad er then ones country, institutions or laws, one that is broad enough to declare and condemn a wrong law or a country tliatdoesnot give equal justice to all its people regardless of nationality or color, one that will recognize the just merits of any man's ability or loyality, wherever it may be found. The average American patriotism is built upon false hypocracy and prejudice, it is narrowed down by selfish, jealous and racial distinctions and color blindness such has been the prevaling patriotism of the American, but now let us hope for that broader and more universal patriotism which recognize equal justice to all humanity. QUEER THINGS. I am compel to apologize to Miss Virgie Whitsett in taking an opposite view of her charming discription of Indiana she so splendidly gave in an issue of the Bystander not long ago.

1 too saw the beautiful shaded trees of a lovely Indiana City, but how exasperating it was. Michigan City is a town of 15007 in habitants comprising of 27 colored people two-thirds German and the other part doubtful nationality. The few peculiar scenes though consist of the large sand moutains cast up about two-hundred feet high, by the lake these queer freaks of nature are well worth the time of any one in visiting them. Miss Bettie Larson and Lottie Kreenier two of its charming twenty-seven piloted me around the city in whioh I shall give to the readers of the Bystander as concise as possible. Michigan City's fire house consist of a peculiar constructed vehicle pulled by twelve or lifteen men, the building is about 25 feet high and of very ancient origin, her city court buildiDg reminds one of small grocery store possibly on 10th street in Des Moines.

'Policeman, yes they ware uniforms and very good looking, their heavy work consist of catching ball with the local teams that visit them overy day. One street car line which their cars resemble a Chicago sprinkling cart, also of ancient origin as I did not visit their park until dark I could not give the name of the monument stationed as its gate and the ladies were unable to tell me, but the park would be a credit even to Chicago it has a dimension of about ten blocks, a lovely pavillion of gothic architecture and when lit up is a very brilliant seene standing cub about two-hundred feet is the ampitheatore, when the Michigan Band give out door Goncert every Thursday evening you can get a good glimpse of this ampitheatre by imagining the doom of the capitol at Washington D. being split in halt near the entrance stands a number of thirteen inch monitors that were used in our civil war, concisely it resemble a national cemetay. The main hotel is the vreeland, I beleive built 1778 when the towu was founded a theatre that would do justice to south country town cotton ware house, but I am told theatical companies never stop them. Streets paved in the center as the average street car companies fix their tracks in cities and on each side of these brick paved streets are great mountains of sand almost impassible.

The mayor takes his 'Eye openor, with the boys and get preety jolly, consequently keeps his office ever and anon to this charming city 1 bid adieu, leaving my charming hosts in the hands of Providence. I have now arrived at new Buffalo Michigan a city of eight-hundred inhabit ants, The only thing colored here are the peculiar construction one story shanties so familiar to the traveler, but I find the people unusually courteous and intelligent they are all Germans here except the rail road men and they dine mostly on "saur kraut," will have a show here tonight but 1 vill be spinning eastward on the train when it commence. They have pitched their tents, one seeing them would be under the impression it was a merry go round while writing this dear editor two trains have gone by I gress the engineer did not know 1 was here or he would have stopped I guess the next one will stop, though time will not permit me to write any more, MOERSHELl, DUFFY FOTHERINGHAM Wash Goods that sold for ISc and ir.c, choke White Goods that sold for 15c, choice 10c.

They care little for truth and a great deal for temporary sensation. It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD. The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability. It prints the the tells the truth about it. It is the only American newspaper outside New York city that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both hemispheres.

It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world. Its war news service is unapproachably the best. Says the Urbana (111.)
