John Wesley Cromwell grows
spasmodic over the fact that Hon.
John III. Smyth, late minister to
Liberia was generous enough to go
forward and say a kind word in
favor of a political opponent, the
associate of his youth. And he
raves about it like mad bull.
Come brother Cromwell, how many
months has it been since you we're
asking for democratic support for
YOUR reinstatement in the Sixth

The attention OF our readers is

stated clearly and tersly and the
objections to Mr.. Matthews contir-

word "color." Can our Republican

The prol osition of President
Cleveland fer the government to
assume the liabilities of tie Freed
mems bank continues to gain
favor. Last week Mr. Trenholm
the controller of the currency
went before the House committee
ON Banking and currency in be
half Of the sufferers by the bank
failure and was requested by said
committee to frame a bill which
would meet the Presidents views.
ln this com ection we take occa,
sion to VAIN all these who hold
claims against the Freedmen's s
bank to beware of persons seeking
to purchase such claims 1T heavy
discount. The bill, if passed will
relieve many suffering people ard
il ought to be drawn so as to Sc
cure to the depositors not only the
principal but the interest from the
date of the banks failure.
Down in South Carolina, the
Legislature is doing its utmost TO
discourage the organization of the
Knights of Labor. A bill has
passed the State senate making it
an ofense punishable by fine and
imprisonment for any person TO
establish labor organizations. Tie
bill seeks TO supp ess these labor
organic atoms by the artful guise
of protecting farmers who employ
colored hands against the inter
ference of contracts made belw cen
the employer and employee. 1t is
a blow aimed at the freedom of
the colored people of South Caro-
lima and to have the wages of la
boring men regulated by the land
owners and capitalists OF the Pal
metto STATE. 1t is no wonder the
people are restless and desire to
emigrate to the west where the
rights OF American citizens are
recognized and respected regard
less of the color of The man.

Thirty Years Margin,

EDITOR Critic \ Washington letter in
yesterdays New York World is very eff
fusive in its laudation of Mrs. Admiral
Dahlgren and her literary and social status
in Washington. The letter closes as fol-
lows: although she is nearly thlrty-siX
years old she looks hardly thirty. She is
tall and wilowy, has superb, queenly
form, a face perfect in regularity of feature,
and pair Of wonderfully expressive eyes,
People wonder why she does not marry
again She has had suitors by the dozen,
but refused them all, remaining faithful to
the dead Admiral, although she was mere
girl and he a middle-aged man when they
were married.n
If the writer's statement as to Mrs. Dahl
gren's social and literary merits are as wide
Of the truth as the above paragraph, then 1t
is charitable to presume that some other
literary person was in the correspondents
mind when the fulsome letter was written.
When married to Admiral Dahlgren she
was the widow OF ID. g. Goddard, who was
the first chief clerk of the Department of
the Interior-then the Home Department
appointed in 1910. Mrs. Dahlgren is In
the neighborhood of sixty years OF age and
grandmother SPECrACLEs.

EDITOR CRITIC: ] represent consider
able number OF our citizens, who are inter
ested in the Improvement of our public
roads. We want an asphalt paved carriage.
way thirty feet wide from this city to
Bladensburg and another to Rockville.
We should construct them at once to the
District line. The track to Bladeusburg
should start at the intersection Of New
York avenue and Boundary street and pro-
ceed In q direct line to Badensburg. The
other might start near Fourteenth street
and Boundary. The route having been de-
cided upon the condition of directness
should be strictly adhered to. In this re-
spec I no concession should be made to any
small local interest that may chance to be
in the way. Stables, out-houses, private
dwellings, or cemeteries should give way to
such grand and much needed improvement.
We advocate these measures on the broad
plan of utility and for the general comfort
and advantage of the public. III the reasons
are not obvious and plain enough to enlist
support, and more enthusiasm is required,
let the measures take the form of testi-
monials to Grant or Hendricks. There
would be the saving of more than n mile In
the distance to Bladensburg, anu two miles
perhaps to Rockville. Ia this communca-
tion we will not ask space to demonstrate
the economy of the scheme and the fact
that it will pay well on the cost, but ask
you TO think seriously over the matter and
discuss IT with your neighbors. Especially
We ask the District Commissioners to think
over 1t. If they will not, we shall have to
think for them, as we hope to succeed in
the enterprise. JACOB.

what's the Matter with Them >

EDITOR CRITIC: What is the matter
with our colored population? Sheol seems
to have broken loose among them of late.
Seren shooting ARRAYS and murders IN one

moral advance" Of the race, as set forth by
their best specimen, Fred. Douglass.
Another curious circumstance in this
connection Is, that nearly all the crimes
aud violence perpetrated by the colored
residents is done by those who have grown
up since the war. Can It be that freedom
and education have this bad effect upon
them9 If not, what has done 1t Here's
