Pflct Emancipat on Queen which was
70 nave taken place on the 10th was
performed on the night of the 22d in
Fne Redeemer Lutheran church, 9Th
street, near Grant avenue. northwest.
Inc pastor, Rev. D. E. Wiseman, in
"a short address reviewed the history of
une race and commended the progress
made since the emancipation notwith-
standing the adverse circumstances
under which they have labored and are
to some extent under yet. The pastor
hoped that the time would soon come
when Emancipation day would be made
national holiday inasmucb as the
nation shared the benefits of the proc
lamatiOn. The president, Mr.. Samuel
west, made few remarks and pre-
sented the Queen, Miss Laura Flint,
with gift as a token Of her faithful
discharge of duty. Rmarks were also
made by the vice president. Mr.. George
Brent, and the Marshal of the Second
District club.
WHY NOT.-Celored politicians
often make 1t hard on each other by
the silly and servlie structures which
they place on each others conduct. A
white Republican can vote as he
pleases and still be Republican. Why
not allow this privilege to the black
Republican.

A Cure For Low spirits.

Exercise for the body, occupation
for the mind; these are the grand con-
stituents of health and happiness, the
cardinal points upon which everything
turns. Motion seems TO be a great
preserving principle of nature, to which
even inanimate things are subject; for
the winds, waves. the earth itself, are
restless, and the waving of trees,
shrubs, and flowers is known to be an
essential part Of their economy. A
fixed rule of taking several hours exer-
else every day, if possible, in open air,
if not, under cover, will be almost GER
tain TO secure one exemption from dis
ease, as well as from attacks of low
spirits, which cannot exist in the at
mosphere of bodily and mental activity.

An Extra Session of Congress

There is a good deal of idle chatter
at Washington about the probability
of special or extra session of Con-
gress. The Republican managers in
the two Houses of Congrers seem to
be anxious for an extra session They
cannot wait for the regular session
with their partisan schemes. But
they win have to present some mighty
good reasons for assembling the new
Congress before the time fixed by
law for its meeting if they do not run
against q snag in the shape of a
strong adverse in public opinion.
Nothing but a pressing public ext
gency will justify an extra session OF
Congress. No political party ever
attempted the revolutionary course OF
forcing an extra session of Congress-
but came to grief on account of it
The President-elect is not possessed
of the level head he is generally
credited with, if his knowledge Of
The peril of extra sessions of Con
gress TO the party in power does not
give him pause when he considers
the propriety of calling the Fifty frs
Congress together in extraordinary
session.
Meanwhile the Democratic majorit.
in the House at Washington shoult
not have any lot or part in the rea
sons which may be assigned by tn
Republican managers for the callinj
Of an extra session. If the Demo
cratic Congressman imagine that b
letting some of the appropriate
bills go by the board they will con
pei an extra session and thus en-
barrass the Republicans they al
making serious mistake. Let the
pass the appropriation bills and the
viii clear their skirts OF any respol
ability for an extra session. The
if one should be called, it will
apparent to the country that Il
expense attending it is to be INQUIRE
for partisan purposes only and tt
Republican party alone will be obi
ed to bear the odium.
