And now it comes to pass that
Capt. William Meredith, the new
chief of the Bureau of Printing
and Engraving, has seen fit to
revoke a young colored lady's
appointment as a printers assis-
tsnt simply on the grounds of
her color and because she would
be distastetul to the white EN-.
ployes of his department. The
senate should not only refuse to
confirm this western milk and
water republican, but President
Harrison, should revoke his CON-
mission Full particulars of the
actions of this chiet will be found
in an other column of this paper.

BLUNDER OF
LYNCH.
HIS RECENT SPEECH CRITICISED AND
CONDEMNED-INVITE GUESTS
PEELED TO LEAVE THE sTAND--TH
FOURTH AUDITOR IN ANOTHER
HOLE.
Indianapolis Freeman.


1t Is refreshing to compare the
utterances of Hons. B. X. Bruce at
Henderson, KY, Sept. %, and
John r. Lynch's at Springfield,
Ills, on the same date. Mr..
Bruce'S speech was that of states
man and scholar, while Mr.. Lynch's
was that of a politician and stump
speaker. Mr.. Bruce eschewed poll
iticS, and spoke of educational and
industrial training as the best and
quickest solution of the race prob
lem, and advanced pacific measures
for both races South, and pointed
to grand future for the Negro.
The whites as well as the blacks
decorated for the celebration and
were pleased with the speech, and
of the gifted ex-senator. Mr.. Lynch
on the other hand painted dark,
uninviting picture of the Negro.
He spoke of the blood hound and
auction block and slave pen, and
openly iDsulted One-half of the
white people present. General
Palmer who was invited to seat
on the restrum was forced to get up
and say he (Lynch) spoke falsely.
Such utteranceS as Lynch's are cal
culated to embitter the feeling of
the Southern people, and he is not
a wise man who does not know
this. Lynch is a back number.

Editor of the BEE

Editor of the BEE:
The special designs of yours tru
ly in an "Aryan Upheval," in the
BEE of October 5th, was to compli
ment the "AdyOcate" newspaper
management, for liberality and al.
vanced views, in giving to cOlored
people the chance to examine the
claims TheosOphy, as editors of
other races were doing to If
people and to equally and d. -,erv.
edly thank the editor of the BEE
for his willingness to make through
it's columns opportunities of the
same sort, for its numerous patrons
among the people. To have said
that those editors were of scientific
and liberal tendencies, was the
head and front of the offending it
seems, unless to mention a revera-
BILE leader. HIr. Perry Carson was
objectional well, SO far as the sen.
ior of the Advocate is included, |
take it all back. He from the

The impression Is that this paper
is opposed to the appointment of
Prof. }. M. Greg sry for the Office
OF Recorder of Deeds. We desire
to state 10 this connection that
there is no young man, in this
community, for whom we have y
greater regard than this gentle
man and We don't know of any
young man, Ourselt excepted, who
would bring more honor and dig
nifty to the Office than he and We
don't know of any man We would
sooner zee appointed, except our
self, than he. When we oppose a
man the community aud country
generally know it and We are sure
that We have 20 reason to oppose
the appointment of Prof. Gregory

THE FREEDMEN's HOSPITAL.
DR.. PURvIS SUBMITS HIS ANNUAL
REPORT. A DEPLORABLE MORTAL
ITY AMONG COLORED PEOPLE. THE
SURGEON IN CHARGE MAKES AN
APPEAL.

DR.. Charles b. Purvis, surgeon
in charge of the Freedmens' Hos
pital, has submitted his annual re.
port to the SecI etary of the Interi.
OF, for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1889.
He says during the year there
were admitted and treated in the
Hospital 2,279 patients. In the
dispensary attached 2,3I7 we're
treated; 261 surgical operations
were performed and with a few ex-
ceptions they were attended with
success. He states in his report of
last year he called attention to the
large number of deaths that had
occurred during the year aud he
again invites attention to this part
of his report, as it is important
that this community should be III
possession of the course of this
lOrtality among its poor, especial.
ly among tie cOlored, who constl-
tute the major portion OF the indi.
gent class, and against whom
the hasty opinion has been formed
that they are lacking the cOnstitu-
tiOnal stamina. The people are
compelled to live in the most un.
healthy portions of the city, gener-
ally in alleys, that are unsuited for
any human being to live in. Ow-
ing to the ususiOus rate of rent
exacted of them, they are cOmpell-
ed to crowd together in small
apartments; the food, clothing and
beding are OF the poorest kind.
These alleys are filthy many of
them are not severed. Owing to
u strong unreasonable, and un.
christian prejudice, these people
cannot obtain comfortable houses
upon paved streets. Not until
there is thorough and complete
change IN our laws regulating the
erection of. tenement houses will
this mortality be lessened.
During the year 80 cases of al.
coholismn, including delirum tre-
mems, have been treated. The
doctor opposes an inebriate assy.
lum, he considers inebrity to be a
crime, and as such should be pun.
ished, an ASYLUM may be a good
institution for those who desire to
reform, and who seek to be streng-
thened by being surrounded by
healthy influences, says the doctor.
GAMBLING IN THE COUNTY.
In speaking of gambling in the
county, he states that these dens
are the outgrowth of a trickey law,
passed by Congress about eight
months ago, forDiding pool selling
in the cities of Washington and
Georgetown. He wrote an earnest
letter to the President, urging him
to veto the bill, as it was mere
su0terfuge, and sought to legalize
the worst form of gambling, by
dumping the dens of the two cities
upon the county only few squares
from their former abodes, and at
the terminus of the two leading
street railroads.
He also recommends q small
building, of four rooms at least /,

Rev. DIR. Laws, presi' 'ent
elect of the Baptist University of
this city, whose tongue for elo-
ouence ia as clear as his head for
knowledge, received his schooling
in his native state of Virginia,
Notwithstanding the expressed
opposition to human progress.
His father, one of the ab!est
ministers in the state, compelled
him to study nights and attend
Sunday school and the reading of
the Bible, to the time OF his
death in 1861. DR. Laws entered
the Wayland Theological Semina-
ry, then known as the National
Theological Institute and Univer-

a regular Baptist church, with
81 members; 80 by baptism and
others by christian experience
and letters, with 13 regular church
es in the council.
His church membership is now
62S with beautiful edifice, when
complete its estimate value Is
$4,000. He founded the Laws
Seminary, which was in operation
when the Baptist University, to
which presidency he was honored
took its place for more extended
basis of education.
Rev. r. V. Peyton a successful
young pastor, Rev. L. w. Hilard,

The Oklahoma Rush.

AT noon exactly on Monday, April
%, forty thousand would-be settlers
poured over the boundaries of Okla
homa, the beautiful land" of the
Chickasaws, and rushed in fierce riv-
airy into the territory TO seize desirable
homesteads. No stranger scene has
ever been witnessed in this or any
other land. For many days thousands
of camp-tires have been glowing by
night along the lines guarded by
United States troops, long trains of
emigrant wagons or "prairie schoon-
ers have been moving slowly toward
the coveted land, hundreds of heavily
laden cars have been standing in readi-
ness for the signal, and race-horses
have been sold for enormous prices,
whose owners on Monday rode all day
at full speed into the territory. 1t is
estimated that on an average there will
be five claimants for every claim. In
stances of fighting and murder have
already been reported. The crowd was
a motley one; honest settlers, adven-
turers, thieves, gamblers, land-sharks,
d" town-site" companies and specu-
lators all seem so have rushed with one
accord to the supposed lei Dorado
The result will naturally be a rich
harvest of personal quarrels, lawsuits
and disputed titles, great band of dis
appointed men with exhausted re-
sources, a brief era of wild speculation
and final awakening to the fact that
in Oklahoma, as elsewhere, the virgin
soil must be titled before the expected
riches can be gathered. One can not
but sympathize in this struggle with
the "old boomers - who have waited
so long and striven, though illegally, SC
persstently to enter claims. They will
now find their enemies to be not
United States troops, but the specu.
lators; not the law, but the greed OF
unprincipled men. There seems to be
serious danger that the mass of disap'
pointed ones will overflow into the
Cherokee strip in such numbers as tc
make their removal matter of great
difficulty. 1t seems strange that, in a
nation which has reached so high de-
gree of civilization as this, no better
way of distributing land to settlers
could be devised than this mad scram
BILE and wild rush, by which disorder
fraud and bloodshed are almost pos
itively invited. Christian Union.
