Hon. Frederick Douglass Home.

The home of Hon. Frederick Doug
lass Is situated on Jefferson street ex-
tended, AnacosJIa heights. The house,
which Is an old one, is situated upon a
hill about fifty feet above the street
level. The hill is nicely terraced and a
concrete walk runs from the top of
each stairway to the house which is
surrounded by massive cedar trees.
A roadway leads from the street to the
front of the house, thence to the we'll
kept stables in the rear. Mr. Douglass
has had log cabin built about 300
yards in the rear of the house, where
he spends his leisure moments. The
furniture of this peculiar little house Is
large fire place, in which two oak
logs are generally smoking, and desk
literally filled with books and papers.
Mr.. Douglass horses are unexception-
ally fne and are kept In the best manner.
A large spring at the foot of the hill,
in the rear of the house, yields plen-
tiful supply of pure water, and
pump in the rear of the stable supplies
the stock. A large porch runs the
entire width Of the house, and num-
ber of stationary seats have been
placed here for visitors and friends In
the summer time. The property COM
prised in Mr.. Douglass estate was pur-
chased by him from Mr.. Van Hook,
one of the founders of Uniontown,
now Anacostia. The site on which
Mr.. Douglass residence now stands
was long known as fuckers HILL"
From this elevation one can see nearly
all the points of interest for miles
around. Since Mr. Douglass purchased
the land from Mr.. Van Hook he has
made many Improvements in the house,
as well as on the grounds.
On account of the great height of
his house and the great cedar trees
that surround it Mr. Douglass calls his
place "Cedar Heights" Mr.. and Mrs
Douglass are hospitable and entertain
many visitors. Washington EUening

clare that If, ss in Georgia, 60 per cent
Of the vote was white and 40 per cent
colored in Michigan or Massachusetts,,
no power on earth could permanently
so divide the 80 per cent as to make 1t
possible for the 40 per cent to hold the
balance of power. If the 40 per cent
was white, but of such responsibility
as Is found In the 40 per cent In

would be no less assured. "-AtldntG
Constitution, March 12.
Is 1t wise to prevent citizen Of the
United States on account of anything
you may name, not criminal. from ex-
ercising the free and full enjoyment of
his constitutional rights as such citi-
zen? The Southerners care little
about political fortunes, they would
have you understand, as compared to
their prejudiced hate of the newly
made citizens they once held in bon
dage. The so-called ignorant and ire
sponsible element Of the South are
citizens of the United States Just as
much so as those who claim to own the
property and possess the intelligence of
the South. The "Constitution" favors
combination against citizens of the
United States if they are poor and
ignorant, for fear they may become in
their poverty and ignorance the bal
ance of power. What unwise and thin
reasoning! If there was any honest
fear of the South's being ruled by
ignorance and poverty, other methods
could lawfully be brought to bear to
prevent it, But the intelligence and
wealth of the South only value wealth
and intelligence for themselves, and
care little about elevatlng the condi-
tion of the ignorant citizen. especially
if that ignorant citizen be black. The
Southern white man is frank enough in
stating his position. But we see no
proposition from the Constitution to
warrant one in believing them sincere
in their expressed hope for the future
welfare of those they so despise. When
hate and prejudice take hold OF man
reason must take a back seat. SO it is
with the wealth and intelligence' of
| the South when they try how not to
solve the so-called negro problem.

Our Nominee for Register Of Treasury.

Hon. John F. Lewis has served Vir-

terms, one full term as United States

His character spotless. His popularity
among the people unbounded. True
to his friends, generous to his enemies,
friend to the oppressed and down.

Amen. And we doubt not but the

The Negro Needs Money.
WEALTH WILL GIVE HIM WHAT
FREEDOM DOES NOT.

RICHMOND, Va, March 16.-In an
address at the First Al African Church
tonight DR.. Justin d. Fulton, OF
Brooklyn, said: money is necessary
to give the negro equality with the
white man." He had no faith in white
or negro government.
1t must be for all. When negro
had money he could buy railroads in
Georgia and other States where he was
not allowed equal privileges with
whites, and could they say: Nov, if
you want to ride on any railroads
behave yourself, or I'll put you off. !"
Irishmen were formerly burned in effigy
in Richmond; now they are in the
city council and other municipal Offices.
Money put them there.
The negro need have no fear Of
Judge Flourney's dark predictions.
The same God who freed them would
keep white men from trampling upon
them. He wanted negroes to have
nice homes, and said when he came to
speak to them again he would stop at
their homes.

IF THE statements in the communi-
cation published in the NATIONAL
LEADER of March 9th 1889 signed
"Stalwart," in reference to the inten-
tion of white Republicans in Alexan-
dria, Va, be true. that the white Re-
publicans have decided to make com.
bination with Democrats to put no
ticket in the field in their approaching
spring election, without consulting the
colored Republican voters, and the
white combination ticket is made up
exclusively of white Democrats and
white Republicans, then we agree with
'Stalwart," that we want a straight
Republican ticket nominated for city
offices, that we will not be satisfied
with anything else. and if our white
Republicans will not join US in making
an open honorable fight with Democ.
racy, we will come together and place
one in the field if we have to nominate
exclusively of colored candidates.
"Vote for principles not men," The
Alexandria Progress may mlsrepresent
us as much as it pleases. it will do it
no good. and can do us no harm. The
communication in question was in no
way responsible for it. but since the
Progress has expressed so much alarm,
we are compelled to say that If ''Stal-
warts" premises are right there is no
escape from the correctness of his con-
clusiOns.

Freeman aptly and forcibly illustrated
two indisputable propositions: First,
that the colored Democrats are out In

it was a singular and unexpected
manifestation of modesty that omitted
the nervy editor of the Freeman from

A special to the Tribune from Big

is full Of excitement over the develop

Hills. 55 miles northwest of here.
People have Just arrived from the
hills reporting that miners in Eclipse
Gulch are making from $50 to $50 day.
The most of the gold is taken out in
the placer diggings. But blue ore
has been struck by several parties In
the hills, and the country Is full of
prospectors from Helena and other
mining districts. 1t the present rush
continues Strengthened times must

for his labors. About a week ago,
however, a general rush commenced,
and now the country is overrun with
prospectors, some of whom have abso-
lutely nothing, and supplies cannot be
brought in fast enough to feed any.
body. 1t looks as if temporary famine
was imminent.
The Sweent Grass Hills. in which
the gold has been discoveret1, are 55
miles by wagon road northwest of Big
Sandy, and just south of the interna-
tional boundary. The hills comprise
three buttes, varying IN elevation from
1900 to 9400 feet. Water and timber
are abundant in East Butte, no timber
and water scarce in Middle Butte.
Between and around the buttes are
broad bottom lands with small creeks.
The richest placer diggings are at
Eclipse Gulch, In Middle Butte and
Hazel Lines Gulch In the East Butte.
Silver. copper, iron and fine
quality of marble have been
found, while coal Is abundant on Milk
river and Sage Rock, to the east. If
the present immigration continues
these mines will be developed in a
short time, and prices Of food, now at
the top notch, will go up out of sight.
Scarcely a man at the mines is getting
less than "a day, that being the
wages paid, but nearly every one
is prospecting for himself.
The one great obstacle here is
the distance from market. There
are but two lines of railroad here.

ourselves by extracting from the so
called superior papers which the

see what these papers think Of him. If
the Gazette man can't stand the COM
