WHEREAS, These sales are generally
held under color of license to the city
him, but are made by the owners them
selves or under their direction, by pay
ing to said city auctioneer a fee for the
pretended right; and.
WHEREAS, Such sale of license is be-
lieved to be an abuse OF his privilege as
auctioneer, but whether it be an abuse
or not, a license to an auctioneer is on
ly personal to him, and does not include
the right to offer goods for sale at auc-
ton by other pafties. where such offer
shall be contrary to an ordinance of the
city; therefore,
Resozved, That an ordinance should
be enacted making it unlawful for any
person to offer for sale stocks of goods,
or any goods, except household goods
or furniture, at auction, either by the
city auctioneer or otherwise, without
first paying for such privilege q sum to
be in such ordinance prescribed.
,Resolved, That the City Council be
and..they are hereby requested to take
into consideration said alleged abuse
in the use of the license of the
city auctioneer and make such provi-
sions as shall effectually remedy said
evil.
Here in New Ulm the city charter re-
quires the clerk to issue an auctioneer's
license to anyone making application,
receiving therefor fees at the rate of S.
per day or 800 for the year. But when
a bankrupt stock is opened out and ad-
vertised as such, but offered for sale
without being put up at auction, the city
council is powerless to impose license,
and we very much doubt whether our
charter can be amended 80 rs to cove,
cases of this kind. Other cities seem
to be similarly afflicted and so far all at.
tempts to prevent the evil have proven
signal failures.

nothing in the way of legislation and
that not a single vote will be changed
by the talk.
The Telephone affair has taken a
party turn in the House. The Han
back and Pulitzer resolutions. of in.
quiry into the Pan-Electric has been
met by, another set of resolutions under
Democratic management, asking for a
broader and more thorough investiga.
ton, an investigation of newspapers as
we'll as officials.
Congressman Gibson, of West Vir-
ginia, opposed the investigation on the
ground that there was nothing to inves.
tigate inasmuch as no charge had been
made against Attorney General Gar
land or other officials who are alleged
to be implicated. "Why,'' said he,
''what will the committee report? Will
they report that the gentlemen got
stock without paying for it? Who will
say that was wrong? I see men all a.
round me who hold railroad stock and
national bank stock voting with the
stock in their pockets, and no cutlery is
made against it..
Mr.. Gibson also attacked Represen-
tative Pulitzer, of the N. Y. World,
who, he said, instead of making com.
plant against the Attorney General in
an open, manly way like q Representa-
tive should have done, had retreated
behind the irresponsible columns of his
newspaper to create scandal. Mr..
Gibson conceded that the idea was &c
turn the rascals out but said his es.
pecial desire then was to stop the ras
calls from talking.

CLARA TO LOUISE.

Dear Lou: Your letter to the
Household last week was read
with great deal of interest. I
never was made more surprised
in my life than l was at the elope-
ment of Miss Lulu Francis with
Mr. John G.. Cragwell. l knew
that Mr.. Cragwell was in the city
and endeavoreu to pursuade Mr..
Francis to give his daughter to
him. This was known to Mr..
Sneed, who had all the chance in
the world to prevent it, but I sup
pose that he had no idea that Miss
Francis would break the engage
ment with him after the invita-
tions had been issued. Mr..
Cragwell remarked that he never
would leave the city without Miss
Francis. Finding that he could
not persuade the parents to con-
sent, he returned to Harrisburg.
He could not rest there so he re
turned again to the city and
inaugurated another scheme. This
time be solicited the services of
Mrs. Turleigh, sister of Miss
Lulu, who fixed the business.
Miss Francis informed Mr.. Sneed
that Mr.. Cragwell had sent her
letters, but said that it was too
late now.
WAS IT TOO LATE?
No, while out walking with
Mr.. Sneed, she called at her SIS
ters on M street and told Mr..
Sneed TO wait outside, as she
wanted to see her sister about a
dress. MIR. Cragwell was there,
who pleaded with her to become
bis wife,. 1t was settled and poor
Mr.. Sneed was made a victim of
despair. 1t is true that Mr..
CragwelI had been engaged to
Miss Francis, but was persuaded
to break the engagement by a

FOR THE PUBLIC EYE.

The National Printing Co., at
the BEE Office 1109 I ST., n. W.,
having purchased new job press
and several hundred fonts of new
job type claims to have the only
first class colored printing house
in the city The company en-
ploys more colored printers than
all the colored printing Offices in
the city combined. 1t makes a
specially of W, dding invitations,
visiting cards, programs, dodgers,
circulars, constitutions, bylaws &c.
Every job brought to this Office
entities the person to one free local
notice in the BEE. Call and in
spect the office and decide for
yourselves. If it is not the most
first class colored Office in the city
the managers will forfeit 5 dollars.

TAKE A FRESH HOLD.

Notwithstanding the reasons
which lie at the bottom of our
interests, the colored people have
not thought it wise to apply them
to their wants. They seem dis
posed to drift along, like so many
balloons, with every current which
passes without any regard to the
effect which it might produce on
their interests. We seem to admit
that we are entitled 10 nothing as
the result of our peculiar position
in American society. We accept
as feasible all the lame excuses
which are being made by the
whites for not accepting US as CO.
workers and partners i'll the great
harvest field of politics. We en-

HELP US.

1t is the desire of the editor OF
the BEE to enlarge his paper, as
he finds that the demands for it's
columns are mad, quate to satisfy
his patrons. To do this he appeals
to the people throughout this
country to aid him by sending in
their cash subscription at once.
The editor is also arranging to
purchase a newspaper press and
steam fixtures. Do the colored
people want a first class Office,
equal to any In the United States,
where colored young men can
learn all branches printing?
Help the BEE then. 10000 SUBJ
scribers we must and shall have.

The Office of the Recorder OF
Deeds is in excellent condition
and attests the competency and

The colored people are satisfied
with him and the Senate would
do the handsome thing if they
would confirm him at once.

can afford to ignore the wishes of
the colored people. They are

Now what is the use of this
sertdom when it is not claimed as
a condition precedent to our ele-
vation? Can we not say what we
want without first asking ourselves
whether the whites will like it?
Are we not able to think and act
for ourselves? We can not rea-
sonably ask for anything which is
not justly and righ,fully ours
Are we uot bold enough to ask
for our rights and seek to secure
and maintain them without first
getting a definition of them from
the whites? This system of fawn-
ing has been set in operation by
men who still retain the idea that
1t is necessary to have some white
man vouch for everything they do
or say. And we are sorry to say
that this idea is being engrafted
on the mind of young men.

Since Reconstruction the genius
and capacity of the young men have
been hampered by the blasting
influences Of political ostracism.
Trey have had no encouragement,
They are frowned down Ivy the Sc
niors of their own race and all the
white race combined. AS con-
sequence if the young men are to
occupy a respectable place in par
ties, in power and il fuence, they
must dispense with the prejudices
and fogylsm OF the old school and
be men enough to say what they
want, give their reasons for it and
then press forward with all their
might, boldly and persistently
and unitedly until they have
gained their posts. Let Us not
stand on party, but by manly
independence and judicious party
alliances follow the line of the
German who has made his way to
recognition by his boldness and
intelligence. Let the young men
take a fresh hold.
