WHAT MIR. TOWNSEND
SAID.

We desire to say to the
editor Of the Indianapolis World,
whose article we reproduce in this
weeks issue of the BEE, that when
Mr.. Townsend said, she HOY ed
the President would not be annoy
d, &c." be assumed that every
intelligent man knew that from
the Presidents long connection
with public affairs, he thoroughly
understood the needs Of the color
ed people and their condition in
the South. That nothing is to be
gained by incessant and senseless
opportunities.
1t the politicians Will allow
him the (PresidenD to run his
office the result will be satisfacto-
ry to every republican in the
country. The editor of this paper
Was a member Of the delegation
which called on the President at
the time Mr.. Townsend made the
above remarks.

CHIEF CLERK DAWSON

There is general disatls~
faction Oh the part Of a
great number of republicans
against The retention of Chief
Clerk Dawson of the Interior de-
partment. 1t makes no differ
ence what the First assistant Sec,
retary of the Interior, judge
Chandler, recommends, this man
Dawson seems to have sufficient
power to undo 1t.
Dawson never fails to see that
democrats are kept in their posts
lions to the detriment of worthy
and deserving republicans. We
hope that secretary Noble will
find it convenient to dispense
with the services Of the offensive
Dawson and appoint some one
more in harmony with the pres
ent ADMINISTRATION.

DINING OFF DOG.

Artemas Ward used to tell in his
lectures of his capture by Indians
in the Wild West, and how at first
he rejected the raw dog they4offer-
ed him, but was finally brought by
fasting to send his captors the con-
cIliatory message that s'the pale
wants his raw dog"
1t has generally been supposed
that among the pale faces dog
diet represented the last ditch in
a battle with starvation. Yet we
have it upon high gastronomic au
thority, that plump pup, four
teen months old, which has been
well fed, is as good eating as veal.
This opinion was tested day or
two since at the Edison Light
Works, whence proceed so many
novelties and marvels. In this
home of the wonderful a happy
company sat down to dish OF
roast dog, and most Of the ban
queters smacked their lips and
said it was good.
There is no reason in nature
why dog should not be as whole
some eating as hen or hog The
horse has recently been added to
the bill Of fare, and it Is claimed
that rattlesnakes are very sweet
and fine. There are those who rel
iSh stewed monkey, but that is too
near the line Of cannibalism to
please others.
The truly wise man, in the light
of gastronom;c philosophy, is he
who adheres strictly to the aspos-
lie injunction to eat whatever is
sold i'll the shambles, and for con-
sciences sake don't ask any ques.

ton of our church debt. Tie
Revs. Eggleston OF the Presbyte~

PROMOTIONS.

The Commissioner of Pensions,
Mr.. James Tanner, has promoted
the follJwing colored men in his
department by sending them in
field as special Pension agents:
DR.. j. w. Curtis, who is regarded
as one Of the best clerks in the
office and one of the few colored
clerks who was not afraid to aid
the republican party, while EN-.
ployed under the last democratic
administration; James Liun and
L on Turner are the other two.
Mr.. A z. Alberts is booked for
promotion and will no doubt
receive it in a few days. Mr..
Alberts is a highly educated man
and a gentleman. lie is one of
the best known men in this coun-
try. We ngratulate MIR. Tan
ner and hope that he may contin-
ue the good work.

MR.. MEREDITH,

On our front page will be found
an excellent portrait of our new
chief Of the Bureau of Printing
and engraving, Mr.. Meredith,
who is regarded to be one Of the
most practical and best skilled en-
gfavers in this country. The
country should feel itself highly
rafuIated on his appolntm ent
as it is one Of the best that has
been made thus far. lie is also
one of the best known men in
this country and it is hoped that
Mr.. Meredith will find it conven-
lent to recommend for appoint
ment some of our worthy and de-
serving young colored ladies in
his department. Heretofore there
has been some prejudice against
our people in this particular de-
partme1t hy our folmer chiefs of
this branch of government on ac-
count OF their color.

A COLORED CHIEF.

1t is the opinion of a large portion
OF the colored people Of this city
that they should be represented in
every branch Of the District Gov
eminent. The colored pc rple are
entitled to recognition from the
great amount of taxes they pay
annually on property, ETC., to sus-
tain our present form of govern
ment. 1t is their opinion that a
colored man should be appointed
Chief of the fire department., and
given other places of honor and
trust. No better man, as the BEE
said last week, could be selected
to succeed Mr.. Parish, the present
Chief, than Mr.. Robert Brown,
formerly connected with that de-
partment. lie is an experienced
and a worthy man. He is young
and active and just old and prac-
tlcal enough to improve the sys-
TEN. Mr.. Brown served in this
department for five years aud re-
signed on account of the inius-
tlce toward him.
1t is hoped that the Commis-

ly. but will do but little towards devel-
oplng and strengthening those faculties
upon which he must rely in graphing

We agree that the above chunk of wis
dom is emphatieally p rilosophieal, and
c p.iyatlngly correct. At the same time
we fear we shall have to 90 outside of the
race to find out where Preside ut Harri-
sons regard for the Negro begins aud

We agree with the President if
he said that the Negro must solve
his own problem. Why should
be not? lie had chance to do it
at the poles last November, but
the republican party persuaded
him to tray the old party once
more.
The Washington bee., 1889-07-27
THE NEGRO HAS NO STAN
DARD.

The Negro has never been able
as yet to set up standard. So far,
he has to follow, no matter who or
what the guide. He is like the
blind and deaf wolf who followed
the trial of another wolf which had
been shot off by a huntsnan.
There seems to be that in his very
constitution which subOrdinateS
him. He actually throws himself
upon others. He acknowledges
himself an inferior. Take his Ie-
ligion. His enemies framed it for
him. Take his politics. He has
more of his own. He has never
thought himself a distinct elemen;
i'll the body polite. He regards
himself to day only as all allied fac
tor. Talk about preserved power"
it is hollow moGkery. He patterns
his schools, churches, his business,
after a model.
Would that all men were able to
think for themselves. The stand
ard among us are for the most
part framed by the ignorant mass
eS. The most intelligent have
neither will nor the disposition to
oppose them. Our best men are
hypocrites. Their lives are living
lies. They lack courage in rectify
ing mistakes about them because
their influence stakes, they say.
So that we groupe along on the
dead level of ignorance. Under
this veneer of lofty piety and illus,
triOus example, it is not hard to
fad the brutal AMI savage instincts

BASEBALL NOTES.


Sacramento Has Secured One of the
Great Players of the West.
William Veach, the great player secured
by the Sacramentos to play first base for
the team during the season of 1889, was
born in Indianapolis June 15 1868, and is
now % years of age. He is5 feet IL inches
tall, and is the very picture of health and
strength. He commenced playing pro-
fessionally, with the Fort Wayne team, and
after several very successful seasons with a
brilliant fielding and batting record. he Sc
cured fiattering offer from the manage
ment of the Des Moines club. He &C
cepted the offer, and frequently went in to
pitch, where his brilliant work was always
favorably commented upon. Leaving Des
Moines he was secured by st. Paul, where
he continued his brilliant PLAYING. and
made record for himself that he NAV
well be proud of. He has placed his sigma
ture to a Sacramento contract.
Norman Baker, the crack pitcher of the
Newark Club, has determined to set at de-
hance the reserve rules. He has signed
contract to pitch in the Stockton Club, and
now the Newark Club wants him black
listed.
A sporting paper in the East says that
Doomis, one of the Newark Clubs pitch
ers, would like to come to California and
play with one of the coast teams. Here is
chance for Sacramento to secure an excel
lent pitcher.
An Eastern exchange says: Billy Alvord
the reserved third baseman of the Des
Moines Club, writes as follows from Sacra.
mento, Cal: have signed to play third
base for the Sacramentos in 1889. Besides
getting good salary, have the score-card
privilege and good position in the State
Printing Office the year round at SIS per
month. | have also bought three acres
outside of the city, and am going to start
in the poultry business in the spring. You
would be surprised to know the price of
eggs and poultry here"

The Governor yesterday granted pardon
to James B. Young, convicted in Yolo
county on April 2, 1888, of murder, and
sentenced to life Imprisonment. The fol-
lowing are the reasons for which the exec
utive clemency was exercised:
"And whereas the evidence submitted in
this case goes to show conclusively that the
crime for which this man was convicted
was committed in self defense, but at the
time of the trial testimony, which has
since been proven false, was introduced
duplicating the prisoner in other crimes
and so perverted the fac.s that the Jury
found him guilty of murder; and whereas

seven of the jurymen and from
Hon. Jos. Craig. the District ATTORNEY
who prosecuted the case, reciting the facts
as stated above, and averring that the YER
dict rendered was, in the light of suisse
quent testimony, unjust, and that Young
was guilty OF nothing worse than man.

A Drunken Woman and q Couple Of
Goats Cause Runaway.
As E. F. Aiken was driving out to his
home at Glenn Gardens, Tuesday after
noon, he met with quite serious accident.
He was driving young colt, and just as
he had crossed the canal at Thirty first and
J streets he noticed drunken woman ly-
ing on the roadside. She had with her
two goats. When just opposite the woman,
only few feet away, the goats jumped up
and the colt beirg frightened, reared on his
hind legs, turned short around and threw
Mr.. Aiken heavily upon the ground. He
was picked up some fifteen minutes later and
carried insensihle into the nearest house.
The colt soon wrecked the buggy and was
caught at Sixteenth and J streets. Mr..
Aiken was conveyed TO his home and med
ical attendance summoned. He was rest
ing easily yesterday and escaped with
shattered rib and skinned side and face
He will be confined to bis room for several
days. This is the second time this drunken

Fine Weather.

The average Signal Service temperature
yesterday was 40, being So cooler than the
normal for that day. The highest and
lowest temperature was $50 and $40, with
gentle northerly winds during the fore part
of the day and gentle southerly at night
weather clear and barometer steady at % 9S
inches.
The temperature yesterday at 5 A. NJ,
Pacific standard time. was 34e at Sacra-
mento, Fort Candy and Roseburg, which
was the same as at st. Paul, while Portland,
Oregon, was 100 colder than st. Paul, the
two places being about on the same lati-
tude. II looks as though Mr. Maslin and
the gentlemen in control of the California
advertising car have packed the climate of
California with their samples Of fruit, ETC.,
and every time they let loose their stereop-
ticon large shoe OF the climate goes with
it. Ii is to be hoped they win hold the
climate back but let the pictures go.

Grismer and Phoebe Davies are favorjtes

a groove, but manifest steady improvement.
Ii was of such people as these two COM
petent artists that the fine old stock compa-
MES of the past were composed. The play
that is to be produced is pronounced by
Nym Crinkle, the accomplished critic of
the New York World, to be deserving, and
to have Tightfully won its way to prom
inence; while Mr.. Winter, of the New
York Tribune, classes it among the pow
erful melodramas-heart-tou humor-

" The Two Orphans" for dramatic quality.

had very large audience last night. He
lectured extendedly upon right treatment
of the horse, and illustrated with quite too
much of repetition and fullness how 10
harness, unherness, handle and control the
horse and to win its confidence He ex.
hibited Mr.. Leitch's stallion and pony and
showed how, in a few lessons, they had
been taught to do tricks, to follow, lie
down, obey, etc. A bad kicker" was then
brought on and successfully subdued The
'man-killer" was then produced. The
owner stated that the horse was vicious, a
bad fighter could not be used, and had to
be handled with lariats and by a stick in
its mouth, and was regarded as terror
by the community. But in bringing the
| animal to town yesterday ii resisted and
was thrown, and in the struggle badly
| strained in hind leg 1t limped painfully
! into the ring, Mckeown prepared his ropes,
but threw them down and declared that he
would not fight crippled horse. The ami
mai was poor in flesh, evidently badly lam ed
and suffering, and he would not inlict the
pain that would follow if he attempted to
subdue HMM fact, the horses swollen

was right. Wednesday was to close the

The money was made up to meet the ex-

for tonight, when The Hageman horse will

The Approach TO the American Rive
Bridge to be Made on Twentieth.

BRIDGE TO De maze on twentieth.
One OF the most important roads leading
into Sacramento city is the one that comes
in from the north by the way of the
American river bridge. Farmers and
others coming to the city in the winter
time can pull good loads until they strike
Twelfth street. From that point to H
street they find it difficult TO pull even
their empty wagons.
This heavy travel has caused Twelfth
street to build up, has increased the value
of property, and both sides are dotted with
coed business houses The property
owners. however, have refused to go to the
expense of grading and graveling. and
hence the Supervisors have about concluded
to abandon it-or, in other words, to
change the road from the bridge to Tween
tieth street. This will make direct road
One that can be travelled during the win
ter season, and the approach can be kept
up at less expense than the one that is
maintained at present
Supervisor Ross rode out over the road
yesterday, and says he shall advocate the
change Immediately.
The only way the property-owners on
Twelfth street can avert this change will
be to at once organize and proceed without
delay to improve that street.
