Adams who was for many years as
sistant register of the treasury. He
was of one of the best known fami

business men in the Northwest.

country, for he was a real humani
tarian, and fought for what he con
ceived to be right and just for the
human race.
The entire press throughout the

Had Transcendent Power as a Leader
(From the Richmond (Va.) Planet.)
When John Quincy Adams, editor
of the St. Paul Appeal died, the race
suffered the loss of a leader, who was
as "true as steel." He had high
ideals and he did not fear to express
them. Time will demonstrate the
value of his counsels. Upon all ques
tions, he occupied a position that was
unassailable. For more than ten
years, we have watched his utter
ances and at no time has he faltered
in his devotion" to duty and his fealty
to the race with which he was identi
fied. It is unfortunate that he should
have passed away at this time.
We do not believe that his own
peoDle reallv appreciated fully his
transcendent power as a leader. We
fear that we shall never gaze upon
his like again.
Editor John Q. Adams
(From the Minneapolis Messenger.)
The death of Editor J. Q. Adams
closes the career of an admirable
citizen. He was an uncompromising
champion for equality and justice, re
gardless cf race, creed, or nationality.
