he used 10 occupy before being chosen as pre-

ful change in the administration Of the Govern

been informed by the President that he would
early to-day communicate with the Senate in
writing. Mr.. Marston had the oath OF ofice ad-
ministered TO him by the Vice-President and
took his seat as Senator from New Hamp-
shire, after a spirited debate as TO the method
OF procedure in his case. In the meantime, Mr..
Pruden, one of the Presidents secretaries, had

A MAN OF IRON NERVE.

At the Pellmore ColIiery two
men were engaged in drilling a
blast hole. When it had been
drilled and filed with gi~
ant powder a lighted fuse was
lesslY awaiting the explosion, the
mine superintendent, accompanied
by two young ladies walked slow
ly up to the spot, and, not know
ing their terrible danger, stopped
opposite the charge. He began ex.
planning the use OF the breasts. One
of the miners, seeing that shouting
would not do, or the man would
most likely stop and ask what they
were saying, and perhaps not even
then understand, ran toward and
pulled out the fuse. When within
twenty feet he saw that it would
explode the next moment. With.
out thought of his own danger. al
though he knew the act would
doubtless end in a horrible death,
he gave three great bounds and
threw himself headlOng on the fuse
just as it gave last fizz before
entering the pOwder.-Phil. Press.

AN ENTERPRISING OFF,
GER?

There are certain members Of
the Metropolitan Police force
who should receive a promOtionC)
more especially on account of
their enterprising proclivities. We
shall relate a circumstance that all
fair z? minded people will agree
with when we shall have conclud>
ed this article.
The concert at the Berean Bapt.
church on Thanksgiving evening
was attended by the very best ell
ement of our society, which any
know that the congregaUloh UT
that church consist of some of the
most classic and cultured citizens
of the country. While the enter
tainment was in progress on
Thanksgiving night, a smart (?)
police officer, who no doubt Want~
ed to arrest some one, demanded
of those who haG the affair In
charge, a permit. He was told
that, since the affair was for a
charitable purpose, and given in
the church, they did not think
that it was necessary to procure a
permit, but, if that was the law,
be could accept five dollars and a
permit would be secured the next
day. No, said the smart (?) po-
liceman, you must 60 to the sta
ton house with me and leave five
dollars. OF course one of the
managers lad to accompany the Of
ficer 10 the station and in consider
alton of this act, we would suggest
to Major Moore, to give this Off
Ger a promotion?

LANGSTON'S SPEECH,

The address of Hon. John M.
Langston at the 10Th st. Baptist
church on last Monday night was
a masterpiece of oratory. He sug-
gested a plan upon which the col
ored people could organize into a
national body by which they could
become a power, Mr.. W. IL. Hart
address and also the one by DR..
Purvis were well received. Mr..
Hart, quite young man, is gain
ing quite reputation as a speak
er. He is fast developing into a
great speaker and an important
factor in the body polite.
Senator Blair's address was to
the point, but he is mistaken in
his implied advice to the Negro to
leave the republican party. The Me-
gro cannot enter the democra-
tic party should he decide to leave
the republican party and he GER
tainly cannot establish a party OF
his own nor can he with any ad-
vantage to himself join the pro-
hibition party. When all other
parties have offered the same in
ducemeuts to the Negro as the
republican party has, then IL will
be time enough for him to say the
time has come to devide.

From the Herald OF Faith, st.
Louis, Missouri, August 10, 1881.
Referring to Shallenberger's An
tidote for Malaria, the business
manager of the Herald of Faith
would say. that he gave this medl'
cine a personal trial, and was spec.
dlly cured of an unpleasant Inter~
mittent Fever. He then RECON-
mended it to F. j. Tiefenbraum,
1915 Papin street, and to police Off
Ger Meidenger, at the Union Depot,
both of whom were cured by it of
chills and fever of several years
standing. Recently his wife, after
a fever of several days. duration,
took single dose and was cured.
In view of these remarka able cures.
and remembering how much money
is spent for quinine, so little to be
depended upon, and often so inju-
riOus, we can only wish that Shall
enberger's Antidote would come
into general use.

OUR DISTRICT COMMISSION
ERS.

The Commissioners are certain
ly to be congratulated for a reduce
ton in the whiskey traffic in this
city. We know that these saloons
are greatly responsible for great
deal of the crime committed. by
drunkards, in this community
Of course decent and respectable
saloons should have favorable
consideration. Our Commission
ers are to be commended and all
decent citizens should hold up
their hands, We are opposed 70
so many saloons anyway aud ii
the Commissioners will continue
TO reform the whiskey traffic they
will be doing good thing for the
community.

TURN THE RAsCALS OUT.

AT a meeting of the Printers
Union about three weeks ago ares
olulon was introduced to allow
the Public Printer TO work the
eompositors over time whenever
the exingency of the service requir.
ed 1t. The resolution received
considerable opposition from the
Democrats and was defeated, but
at subsequent meeting of the
Union the friends OF the adminis-
tratiOn rallied and had the resolu-
ton reconsidared, and passed it.
We now learn that the pressmen
are trying to annoy, and give the
Public Printer some trouble.

REORGANIZATION OF THE
SENATE.

That the Senate will be reorga-
nized seem quite probable, at this
time, and we deeire to be placed
fatty upon record as favoring
such. There are new members,
and certainly new condition which
warrant the step. A change of
officers Of that body is fair to the
Republican party who has just
emerged from Democratic rule in
the lower House, and ought to be
another reason why the country
should expect and demand a new
deal in the Senate affairs. This
continuous term over and above
the six years Senatorial life of a
Senator is unfair, and even though
the same gentlemen should be re-
elected, the effort would carry to
the nation that this body want to
he fair and just

EMBARRASSING THE PUB.
LICPRINTER.

1t seems as if the Democratic
members OF the Typographical
union are endearvoring TO embar
rass the Public Printer, by passing
a rule in the union prohibiting
the members of that organization
from working extra hours. When
Mr. Benedict was Public Printer,
and when oe requested the men
TO work, that union readily passed
a rule granting bis request. Per-
haps these gentlemen are not
aware that Mr.. Palmer is not to
be played with; he is not one OF
that kind to be intimidated. Per-
haps these gentlemen forget that
it is an act of mere courtesy for
the Pubic Printer to make such
q request from an organization,
that is, IN itself, powerless to stop
the wheels of the government.
The general impression is that
Capt. Brian is ruuing the office;
suppose be is, it is evident that
Mir. Palmer must have some one
10 aid him, and in whom he has
confidence, to assist in con-
ducting the affairs of that great
workshop. There is one thing
certain, whatever Capt. Briau's
faults are be is honest aud gives
justice to all, irrespective Of color
or condition.

THE RECODERSHIP.

The announcement made a few
days ago that Ex-Register Bruce
would probably be appointed Re
corder of Deeds for the District OF
Columbia has been the subject of
of considerable comment In the
newspapers tor the past week
The candidates, about 20 in
number, recognizing the overshad-
owing strength of the Senator, at
tempted, but without success, to
roll their issues and by a united
effort force him from the field,
aud to this end they counted and
circulated all sorts of rumors
touching his identity with the
District.
In their desperation they alleg-
ed that he was mere sojourner
here, was not resident, paid no
taxes, and was in no proper sense
interested in the material proper
ty of the District.
But when it was concluslvely
shown that be had been for four
teen years a bona fde resident and
tax payer, aud was fully identified
with all the varied interests Of the
cribabIe, and the combination
gradually went to pieces.
As to ourself we opposed the
Combine" from the fret, and
though we had been a candidate
for the office and were endorsed
by many of the most influential
men of the land, we declined to
lend ourselves to q scheme
so nefarious to defeat the
appointment of one of the most
distinguished colored gentlemen
in the United States, against
whom not one word could be just
ly and truthfully uttered.
Outside of ourself, we know no
man whom we would rather see
Recorder of deeds than Mr.. Bruce.
An able thinker, persuasive
speaker, a fluent writer, a brave
and contentious public man, he is
an ornament to the race whose in
terests be has represented in the
most exalted positions within the
gift of the American people; and
he deserves the highest recogni-
tion the President can bestow up
on him. For more than a dozen
years he has been prominent fig
ure in all the party councils, a lea
ding speaker in all the great polit-
ical campaigns, and a potential
force in the current politics of the
country. Whether his party was
in power or out of power, be has
been the same unselfish, consistent
advocate of republicanism.
For such an appointment the
President will receive, as he will
certainly deserve, the appreciation
OF all fair minded men of both
races. We stated at the beginning
of President Harrison's admins
trstion that be would deal fairly |
by deserving colored men and we
nov predict that many more of
our people will soon receive recog-
milton at his hands.
The Washington bee., 1889-11-30

We think there is every proba-
biIity that the Democrats in the
Government Printing Office are
thoroughly orgrni lied and intend
to embarrass Mr.. Palmer as much
as possible; they will, no doubt,
obstruct and get in their blows a
galnst the present administration
of the office whenever they can.
Our advice to Mr.. Palmer is to
turn the rascals out, and put none
but Republicans on guard.
The Washington bee., 1889-11-30

Now if the Republican House
of Representatives want to do
the handsome thing for the Ne
