SHUT UP.

There are a certain class COLI
ored people who are forever talk
ing about Union offices. Perhaps
they are not aware that not one
white office in the city will allow
colored young men to learn
trades. While the bosses may be
willing, the workmen object. This
office pays Union rates aud there
are more young colored men
learning the printing business at
the BEE office and National Print
ing Co., than any office in the
country. What we ask is the
support of the people.

who have faith in the theory that the
planets have an agency in the production
of the sun spot cycle believe that the pres

the greater distance OF this gigantic planet

corning the sun may be considered as es-
tablished.

comprising less than l per cent of the amount

those, he was unable to give positive opin-

concerning them. The president made as
thorough an examination of these items as
possible, and although with such reports
as were at hand he had been unable to
absolutely satisfy himself as to their charac-
er, he found that all appeared to be for the
continuation of work already begun and now
in course of construction. The president
said he had gone over the bill az fully as the
