There is no man in the general

some talk of a change in that

MARSHAL WILSON.

1t is said that Marsh Il A. A.

into power this record, which

holding a prominent place in the

ence have been displaced from the
minor positions they eld in the
departments here. Bruce was su-
perseded by white man and all
the other colored men who have
been dismissed were replaced by
white men sirce the change of

ceptions to this general assertion,

Langston and Smythe. The

named were not especially desired
by white men competent to hold

GOOD SIGNS.

Nearly half of the term of the

and up to this time the colored

to be merely the vaporings
of an Overwrought imagination,
to end ridicule; and We can
now sit soberly down and congrat-

fast turning the point of honest
friendship between the master and
his much abused former slave. In
the second place, the absence of in
ducements which politics once
offered, has produced a greater in
terest in the accumulation of
wealth, the adornment of homes
and more ready accommodation
to the actual state of things at the
south for however we may think
of it, the fact is that the colored
people can never maintain politi.
cal supremacy at the south, until
there is much closer approxima-
tion on their part to the learning,
wealth and business of the former
master. Hence an undisturbed and
rapid growth in that regard will be
the surest road to political equali-
ty or even political supremacy,
if desirable.

WHY MATTHEW'S CANNOT
BE REMOVED.

"The President shall have power
to fill ali vacancies that may hap
pen during the recess of the senate
by granting commissions which
shall expire at the end of their
next session. Art. II-Sec. 2. u.
S. Const.
President Cleveland has simply
exercised constitutional right in
thus appointing Mr. Matthews to
fill vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Douglass, late le-
corder OF deeds for the District of
Columbia.
That Mr.. Matthews is a non
resident is no legal disqualification,
and the plea WAS resorted 10 only
as pretext to defeat worthy
gentleman on account of his color
and his politics. Why has not
this sentiment about non resident
been urged against former ap
pointees including District Com.
missioners, Marshals and other
officers in the District of Colum-
bia. The president has not been
frightened by this "ass in the
lions skin" and we have to give
him credit for asserting his honest
convictions whether the senate
likes it or not.

THE COLOR LINE IN POLL
TICS.

1he drp rlntment by President
Cleveland of Mr.. James G.. Mat
theNs us r corder OF ID, els. 10
sutc ed MIR. Fre lerick Douglass,
was as streak OF lightning across
clear sky TO the people of the
District of G lumbia. 1t was sup
posed that the defeat of Mr.. Mat
thews' confirmation in the Sena' e
had virtually settled his case, a. d
that either another uame would
be sen, In, or the then incumbent
would be continued until another
appointment could be made. But
President Cleveland has shown
himself mau ofsu prises. Some
people made haste to affirm that
the President did not mean that
Mr.. Matthews should have the
Office; that the whole mat er was
arranged to tickle the fancy of the
cOloreI voter. Under such cir
cumstances II, other course was
lett for the President to pursue
but the appointment Of Mr.. Mat
thews, thus sho wing that he pre-
ferred to incur the dIspleasure OF
the entire senate OF the United
States, TO be ng accused of insin-
cerity.
Ii was aso alleged that Presi-
dent Cleveland had refrained from
using his influence to have Mr..
Matthews confirmed, in order that
be might have tie Opportunity of
hrr"lcaIIy resculng IL representa-
tive of the coIoleI race, VITO had
been thrown overheard by both
parties in the senate, aud thus in
crease his personal popularity wi h
the colored people. This state
meat would seem to retute itself.
Some "cheap Johns" have made
haste to say that the defeat of Mr..
Matthews confirmation by a re-
publican senate was proof that re-
publicans had as much prejudice
against coiored man DIS democrats
have. The truth is, when Mr..
Matthews case was first acted upon
by the District committee, his
con6rmat on was reported adverse
ly. Had Senator Miller, the re
publican senator f,om California,
been alive and present when the
vote WAS taken, Mr.. Matthews
nomination would have been re-
ported favorably to the senate and
confirmed many months ago And
even upon the final action of the
committee, the nomination was
almost unanimously reported back
adversely; and when taken up
for action in the senate, it is re-
ported that the nominationwss re-
jected by vote p to Is, only four
of the said latter number being
democrats. We have been in-
formed that this latter statement
is untrue. 1t is not necessary to
to say mole in excuIpation either
of the President or the Senate.

dent said, that "the Republican
