The proposed commission to hayu
ha- been regarded by some critics as a
iunket. and by others as smart piece
Of pioneering speculation on the part Of
Mr. Secretary Of State Blaine, who IS
remarkable for identifying his person
ality and private individual interests
with the Affairs that he il supposed to
attend to az "trusteo and servant OF
the people. u comes 10 light now
that the late President Sslam0n
of Hayli foresaw the helplessness
of his people which induced
the bush and swaiop revolution
after his death. He therefore, in the
infinite wisdom of colofod statesman,
knowing the capacity IN one way and
incapaciiy i'm another Of ms country
men. offered the United States the free
use of the harbor Of Mole San Nicholas
"a naval and coaliue station. This
proposition of Saiamon was pigeon
holed at time when it was not know n
that Solomon was about TO die, and die
he did. before the offer was discussed.
Mr.. Blsine's acute miud has taken
hold Of the reason aud argument Tor
that ofTer. and it appears that Franco Is
extremely anxious to protect ' Hayu'
or at least to gain foothold on the Is
land. in order 20 back any progressive
echemes she may have i'm Panama.
IL stands to reason that If inter-oceanic
canals are to play their logical part iu
Western affairs. the harbor OF San
Nicholas is a very important post.
In spite of the theory that tho United
States avoids foreign complications, VIC
know that every intelligent American
has an instructive belief in the Monroe
doctrine. and Will view with a Jealous
il not very angry, eye amy attempt by
European power to establish foot
hold in Central America or at any
point bearing ON that locality
So long as the Panama cana
is a fraud and = failure the American
people may look with indifference al
the loss of millions bya canal company
at Panama. but when the Frencl
Government attempts TO protect anC
tries also to gain possession II an islan'
ON the Atlantis front Of the Carrlbeat
sea. 1t - another affair entirely An,
taking that plain view of II, perhaps
Mr. Blaine sees that the feeling Of oui
people would make il popular move
TO check the aggressive advance OF ar
other power. especially when govern
ment has chartered an American com
panv to build the canal at Nicaragua.
General Washington Is the father o.
the idea that we should avoid ioreisl
complications. but Jefferson made th'
Monroe doctrins a practical idea whei
he acquired Louisiana. The Mex'ca'
W. made it still more emphatic, an,
the treaty of Guadaloupe hidaleo se
cured the right of the United States t'
an inter-oceanic transit at Tehuante
pee.
The canal was no more practicable al
Tehuantepec than at Panama, bnt the
principle commended for applies TO any
probability in the way of inter-o oceanic
transit. and treaty OF no treaty. It rs a
certainty that the American people
would grefer to see the government
take possession OF such work than to
see the key of the Western hemisphere
pockeied by foreign nation.
This is Just the question involved m
the Hayti business, as supplementary to
- the control Of an Isthmus canal.

VIOLET INK.-Some one has informed
the world that w. ID. Howells, Charles
Dudley Warner. Julian Hawthorne
and Grace Greenwood use violet
colored ink when they write. The
same writer announces his belief that a
a large number Of newspaper editors
also use ink Of violet shade. This IS
all very well. but we hope the helpless
hue Of the ink is not to be held respons-
ible for the insipid vagaries Of some OF
these writer's Baltimore Herald.

SHOULD WE COMPLAIN?

1t is true that every political
beeler cannot be appointed to an
ofice by the present administra-
tion and right here, we desire to
ask, has the Negro any cause to
grumble? Has not the admlnis-
tration, SO far, been fair towards
our brother in black? Have not
the several departments given US,
and are they not still giving US a
fair representation? Have we any
ground or cause to say that the
democratic party will or would do
more if it were in power? Do we
not enjoy greater liberty under
republican rule than We enjoyed
under democratic supremacy with
but a few exceptions? We would
advise our colored fellow citizens
not to be too hssty in criticising
The administration. We think it
unkind as well as unfrir on the
part OF certain members of the
colored press to denounce the sd-
ministration when 80 many of our
young men and young women are
being cared for. We want no
better friend to the race than the
Hon. Robert Porter, Superintend-
ent of Census; Hon. F. w. Palm.
eI, Gen'l Noble, Hon. Geo. Chaud-
Ter, Secretary Window, aud many
others we could name.
The soldiers have found q friend
in Chef Clerk Bracket, Gen'l Bus
sey, and other sppointees Of this
administration. Ali of US cannot

Q ssful should give the administra.

who are kind to US and recognize

ported by the government and
colored boys had the same right
there IS white boys. He has even
gone further than that. When
colored boys have been brought
before him, instead of sending them
to Jail or to the reform school, he
would send the officers of the Court
out to hunt up she parents of these
boys and ask them couldn't they
take their boys home and teach
them honesty.
To the surprise of the Judge he
has been told by their people, that
they could do nothing with them
that the boys would steal from
them. Now it can be seen what
Judge Miller has to contend with
and how he is compensated for do
ing what his good heart directs
him to do. We only hope that the
colored people may always have
such friends, as Judges Miller and
Montgomery to set in judgement
when any of them are brought be-
fore the bar to be judged for any
wrong act of which they may be
charged.

FALSE TO EACH OTHER.

It ls q fact that cannot be Tebut-
ted, that we are false to each 9TH
er as well as to those by whom
we are sent to represent. This
fact was plainly demonstrated at
the late Chicago convention. Col
ored men have been sent by their
people 10 represent a principle or
a measure and for a few dollars
not only sell their principle, but
themselves. This is the reason
why our more fortunate white fel.
low citizens have such little faith
in some of our representative
men. We should not maks PROM
ises that we have no idea of car
rying out nor should we pledge
ourselves too a cause that shows
corruption and fraud upon it's
face. We shall first show that we
are true to each other, then and
not until then will we be a re-
spected people.

CLERK MCPHERSON,

Than whom no better friend to
the race could have been selected.
Mr.. Mcpherson brings to the pO-
sition of clerk of the House a wide
and comprehensive knowledge OF
public men and affairs; he is broad,
comprehensive and liberal in his
political views; he is intensely
republican in his predictions and
as such our people can look for
ward to that recognition worthy
the significance of their voting
import, and especially since Mr.
Mcpherson comes from the coun'
try that holds the party in power
by the same voting strength; be
also is aware of the importance
of the colored vote North, and GER

OUR DISTRICT RULERS.

The President sent to the se-
nate On Tuesday the names of
Hons. J. W. Douglass and L. w.
Hine to be Commissioners of the
District of Columbia. We un-
derstand that there will be an at
tempt on the part of few sore
heads and pot house politicians to
defeat the denomination of Mr..
Douglass or both of our Commits
s.ouers. The senate of course
will confirm these two nomina-
tions Immediately or as soon as
the District committee is in work.
ing order.
The record of Mr.. Douglass as
we'll as that of Mr.. Hine will
stand the test of anything that
will be said or done against them
by irresponsible men. The people
irrespective of party, except the
whiskey men, are satisfied with
the choice of the President and
we hope that the senate will act
on these nominations, and it is
expected, early part of next week
Not since the days of Grant have
two better men been selected to
preside over the destinies Of a
people, than Messers. Douglass
aud Hine. Let the good people
of this city stand together in de-
manding that honest and upright
men are the kind they want to
conduct the affairs OF this city
and these men are in the person
of our newly appointed Commits
sioners.
