The Metal of the Future.

The clay of our hills is full Of It, but
the great problem Of science is how to
separate 1t from the clay. Yet progress
Is constantly made. A few years ago
pure aluminium was SEQ and $50 a pound
Patient chemists working quietly in
their laboratories have already discov.
cred cheaper extractive processes. The
pure metal Is now reduced to $3.50 n
pound.
When 1t can 10 produced chcaply 1t
will revolutionizc all our iron industries.
II is almost as light as paper, tougher
than iron and will not rust or tarnish.
Tho pure metal is about the color of tin.
and takes brilliant polish.
Thus far, on account Of its high price.
the use Of aluminium is restricted chiefly
to alloys. It alloys readily with all the
other metals, even with iron. It Is
already mingled with that metal in iron
and steel castings. 1t improves them re-
markably in the matter Of non-breakabil-
ity. 1t also prevents flaws and air holes.
When aluminium can be cheaply pro-
duced we shall build houses of it. Car
riages. cars and steamboats, will be made
Of this shining metal Some genius has
now only to show us how to extract 1t
cheaply from our inexhaustiole clay hills.

A florida paper records that an orange
grower near Citra sent two car loads of
the fruit to firm of commission mer-
chants in Cincinnati. They returned
him check for $3.50, telling him the
fruit was so damaged that it brought no
more than that. The gentleman made
no reply, but employed a shrewd detect
i've to find out the truth. The detective
discovered that the oranges had netted
the firm 81 $40. The fruit grower pre-
sented accordingly a bill to the firm for

OF paying it or taking the consequences.
They settled 1t without q word, except
to confess to the fruit grower that they

and pack the fruit, and dispose of It

Twenty-seven people were recently an
nounced In the death lists Of the New
York newspapers in one day as having
been over seventy years old when they
died. The majority Of them were women
and widows. But the character Of some
of them was enough to make one ques-
ton whether extreme old age is worth
having. One Of the persons was an in
mate Of charity home. Another was
an aged negro who had been born slave
when New Jersey was still slave state.
Still third was miserable miser, and
lived in state Of abject poverty. He
was believed to be no more than beg
gar But after his death this sordid old
man was found to have 500, 900 boarded
away. OF what value is either length Of
years or wealth under such circum-
stances?

The colored man has at length con-
quered his civil rights in the barber shop
It was for Nebraska to take the lead in
giving the negro shave in the same
chair in which his white brother rolls his
eyes to the ceiling and resigns himself to
his fate. In the NORTH the barber shop
was the chief stronghold that still held
out against the civil rights innovation.
Colored BARRIERS themselves refused to
shave their own race, on the ground that
it would ruin their custom. But the SUI
preme court Of Nebraska decided that:
A barber, by opening shop and putting out his
sign, thereby invites every orderly and well be-
haved person who may desire his services to enter
his shop during business hours.

Lincoln's Assassination.

John T. Ford was proprietor of the
theatre ut which President Lincoln was
assassinated, at 1890 p. m. April IA,
1866, twenty-four years ago this April.
Mr.. Ford contributes to the last North
American Review paper which throws
historic light on the case of Mrs. Sur
raft. Mr.. Ford insists most earnestly
that in her execution an innocent woman
was officially strangled by the United
States government. It may be so. In
that period Of horror and excitement it
is quite possible that nice Determinations
were not made.
Mr.. Fords evidence shows that John
Wilkes Booth could have had no knowl-
edge that President Lincoln was to be at
the theatre the evening of April IA till
noon of that same day. The plot, such
as it was, was arranged with Payne and
Adzerott after that hour. Mrs. Surratt
had gone out Of Washington to the coun-
try early that morning.
Mr.. Ford brings evidence to show that
Mrs. Surratt had no knowledge of the
conspiracy. Five members of the mill
tary commission that sentenced her
signed recommendation to the presi-
dent for mercy in her case. Mr.. Ford
believes this was never laid before the
president. As Mrs. Surratt "walked in
her shroud to the scaffold" it was said
that she begged to be permitted to tell
the people abe was Innocent It was re
fused.

DANGEROUS TO ATTEMPT
1T.

We want to say to our eolored
fellow~citizens in the South, al
though they are oppressed, not to
attempt any brute force to liberate
themselves from the jaws of death.
1t is all very we'll for men at long
range to advise you to retaliate
with pistols, guns and the torch,
but we tell you that it will be dan
gerous to attempt it. We know
women and children would be
killed indiscriminately, while
those who urged you on will be
miles away from the scenes of
danger.
We have thousands of white
fellOw-citizens in the South who
will, in time, see that justice is
done to the Negro. No Negro
who has the interest of his race at
heart will advise or urge his fell
low man to do what b. will not
do himself. We can assure our
fellow-citizens in the South that
the President is in full sympa by
with them, but he is constitution
ally prevented from doing any
thing, unless the action of South
ern sggressors come in conflict
with the United States. We must
agitate and appeal to the good
people of this country and create
such a sentiment in our favor un-
til our cause is heard and settled.
1t is our only hope and desire to
see our Southern oppressed breth-
rem bear the burdena little longer
Right is bound to prevail.

REPUBLICAN CENTRAL
COMMITTEE.
COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS DEFENDED
COL. MOORE WILL RECOGNIZE
THE NEGRoES-COL. CARSON TAKES
EXCEPTIONS, &C.

Last Tuesday evening a large
number of the members of the
Republican Central Committee
assembled in Shea's Hall to re-
ceive the report of committee
appointed heretofore to inquire
into the affairs of the district Of
fees relative to democrats being
retained in Office under a repubii-
can administration. The report
stated that there are 143 democrats
holding Offices in the district
government and only 70 republi-
cans. In other words that 80
percent of both Offices and salaries
are in the hands of the democra-
cy. After the adoption of the
report committee of five was
appointed by Chairman Freeman
to wait upon President Harrison
and lay before him this condition of
affairs. The committee consisting
OF Messrs. Bowen, Brown, Stew
art, Gleaves and Baker. Editor
Chase stated he thought it would
be the proper thing to elect a
permanent chairman of the Cen
tral Committee in as much as
Maj. Davis the regular chairman
was never present at any of the
deliberations of the Committee.
This did not seem to take with
the majority ofmembers present,
and a supplemental motion was
carried authorizing the chairman
protein to wait upon Maj. Davis
to learn if he intended longer to
serve as the Chairman of the
Central Committee. Mr.. Chase
also referred to the newspaper
statements in which Commission
er Douglass was charged as being
inimicable 10 the interest of the
republicans of the district. Mr..
Chase said he knew the record of
Mr.. Douglass well, and his atti-
tude while commissioner of inter-
nal revenue, and thought the
statements as published entirely
misrepresented the gentleman,

DR.. PHILLIP BEFORE SHI-
Lob.

The very able sermon Of DIR.
VIM. FL. Phillips, on the occasion
of the 26th Anniversary of Shiloh
Baptist Church last Sabbath morn
ing Was one of the best predue,
tiops of its kind that has ever en-
mated from a Baptist minister.
We had occasion to attend services
at this church Sunday morning for
Il the purpGossss Gosss Qff. listening to this
able minister aud Weir pleased
we were with his sermon. We
take the libertyof calling the at
tention of our readers to few
extracts from it, we don't stand
alone in our admiration for Rev.
Phillip, but, we were Informed
by a number of those who heard
him and are members of the
church, that, they intend to use
every effort in their power to call
him as their permanent pastor.
Without detracting from any other
gentlemen, whose ambition eye
may be centered on this church,
we know of no man who would
bring more dignity, respect, inf u
ence and lager following to the
church than DIR. Phillip who IA
vored the congregation with a
sermon last Sabbath morning.
We are indebted to Rev. w. H.
Scott for special invition to Shi-
lob last Sabbath which we do not
regret in the least, as we listened
to an interesting discourse. Rev.
Scott deserves great credit for
the successful termination of the
26th Anniversary of Shiloh church
which he 80 ably superintended.

s55e Nat. Com. representing the
glct of Columbia, he thought

,f tae Nat. Com. representing the
glct of Columbia, he thought
..e error ought to be corrected as
it came rather from the head than
from the heart. Referring to
Maj. Moore Mr.. Chase said he
had been creditably informed
that colored men would yet be
appointed on the police force of
the dirtrict. These remarks
brought Col. Carson to his feet,
who was the member of the Nat.
Committee referred to. He said
it had never been stated by him
that Commissioner Douglass was a
democrat, neither had the Central
committee promulgated such a
statement. What the committee
as we'll as himself found fault with
was the commissioners good prom
ises and good intentions. He did
not want promises or good inten-
tiors he wanted action. The
democrats are in Office, Commits
sloner Douglass knew it, and he
ought to remove them and not
promise to remove them. He
wanted these democrats removed
before the senate confirms the
commissioners and not after they
are confirmed, and he believed it
would be done. The Col. said l
care nothing about nice men or
their intentions, and if Maj.
Moore could not out of 50 ap-
pointments on the police force
give two to colored men when he
had the opportunity he could not
see what was to be gained by
waiting for other vacancies which
may never accur. Who is respon-
sible for this state of things asked
editor Chase? Really l don't
know replied Col. Carson, but
one thing is certain [ am not re-
sponsible nor is the Central Com
mittee Mr.. Marcellus West
thought certain j. w. Thomp-
son was responsible. The Com~
mlttee adjourned to meet the
third Wednesday in November.

OUR DISTRICT COMMISSION
ERS.

We are of the opinion that the
District Commissioners will give
entire satisfaction to the people of
this District. So far as Commits
sioner Douglass republl-
cauism, is concerned no man will
attempt to doubt it who knows
the man. 1t is charged that he is
opposed to our people, we take
this opportunity of denying it.
The colored people would not
wish to have a better friend on
the Board of Commissioners than
Jno. W Douglass nor do we doubt
the friendship of Mr.. Hine. Our
advice to republicans and the col
ored people is to exercise a little
more patience, because we know
whereof we speak.

The departure of Mr.. Frederick
Douglsss and the incidents at
tendant thereto, brings to our
mind the above lament of the
once famous Cardinal Wolsey,
q favorite character of Mr.. Doug
lass and whose speeches he was
fond of reciting. There is simi-
larity and a dissimilarity in the
characters Of the two men. One
was the son of q butcher, the 9th
er the son of a slave. One is the
graduate of Oxford University,
the other graduated from the Uni
versity of Adversely. Wolsey was
most ambitious, so was Douglass.
The former lived in sumptions
magnifcence, the latter affected
(until lately Puritanical simpIici-
ty, Wolsey's rapacity was inOr-
d1nate, so was Douglass (for
holding ofice). Wolsey was
naughty and insolent to bis enes
