THE GIRL WHO KNOWS EV.
ERYTHING.

Naturally it isn't you or your
friend; but you certainly know
her. When you dislike people,
there is one thing you should al
ways do, ald that is, look we'll at
their faults and make up your mind
that you are not going to fall into
them. This girl, who is quite too
general to be pleasant, is the girl
who, having learned something
yesterday, knows everything. She
makes herself obnoxious by f1aunt.
ing recently acquired knowledge,
concluding always that the people
who are quiet, are ignorant, she
has no hesitancy in cOntradicting
any body; she makes an entire
luncheon disagreeable by giving
her opinion on the last pronuncia-
tiOns, forgetting that custom makes
many things correct, Of which the
dictionary has no mention.
She is more than certain as to
dates; she can tell you exactly
what you ought to do, and she
fails herself 10 see that she is a
living example of how diSagreea>

most contempt for her; she tOsseS
her head, says she doesn't care
for the opinion of men. Well, she
is losing her wOmanliness when
she feels that way. Every girl
ought TO care for the opinion OF
men. She has her father TO look
up to, her brothers to be an inspir.
alton TO, and some day please God,
she onght to marry one and make
him happy for life. The girl who
knows everything is seldom cult

your mind that it can teach you
much; intelligence is never lost
Even if absolute information is not

Two years ago the colored peo-

valued for taxation. According
to an estimate, this portion of
our population is now about
5000 or 1000. The census will

whatever the census may show,

THE APPEAL CORRESPONDENT TELLS

Washington Correspondent OF the Appeal.

Washington Correspondent OF the Appeal.
Somewhere in Ohio a little paper
called the Gazette appears. Its
editor uses his shears more than
his pencil and fOrgets to give cred-
1t to the paper he so maliciously
mutilateS unless it be edited by a
white man, and then he never fails.
In the issue of July 5th which some
person mislaid (?) accidentally or
cast away for spite and l picked
up through pity l found three such
clippings in the column "Of Race
Interest,"" On the editorial page
l also find one half col. mn devOt-
ed to "the young man who writes
the Washington letter" for The
Appeal. (Sorry Mr.. Smith my
name is CGaS. A. JOhnson.) In a
very violent manner, he Intimates
that l had "seen" the Recorder
Bruce and changed my tone and
manner of talking since the issue
of The Appeal June 7th. (Wise
men change their minds fools new
er.) TO see a man" in Ohio must
be synonymous with being a New
York Alderman. He makes a clip
ping of short squib, l wrote con-
corning Mr.. Bruce, and injects it
full of italics. Yes, what l said
then was right. Mr.. Smith in view
of the one charge your amiable
"Bruce Grit" had brought against
Mr.. Bruce. 1t did not bind me to
believe everything said thereafter.
Mr., Bruce does pay to colored en-
ploN ees So. 400 year more than his
predecessor. That Is the way to
love your race. Increase the amount
of money ifs members receive.
Yes, Mr.. Bruce did reduce Mr..
Johnson's wages and he admits it.
He appointed white man as Gep-
uty. He has never denied anything

The action of the Committee on
elections of the House of Repre-
sentatiges in rejecting the claim
of Hon. James Hill, colored Re-
publican contestant from the 3rd
Congressional district Of Miss,
and warding the seat to the white
Democratic sitting member, was a
surprise for which few, who have
watched this contest, were pre-
pared. The Srd District is known
TO be overwhelmingly Republican
indeed the Republicans are as
about six to one and yet, in the
face of such majority, the seat is
denied to the Republican contes-
tant. If in Districts where the
Republican majority is as great as
this one, where fraud Is as fragrant

We are glad to note that the
republican senatorial caucus has
determined to so amend the rules
fo the senate, as to enable the ma.
jority todispatch necessary legis-
lation. The election bill is now the
most important measure before
that body and should be passed at
once. But unless the rules
are amended, democrats can
easily talk the bill to death.
Let US have heroic action.

We see the Democratic press is
making quite a noise over the
proposed Negro-Democratic move
ment in North Carolina, and pre-
diets glorious results to the de-
mocracy, 1t is all a myth; there
is no Negro Democratic move
ment in North Carolina, or else>
where. The truth is the Negroes
of this country know that they
have received greater oficlal rec
ognition at the hands of President
Harrison than was ever enjoyed
by them before, and they propose
to stand Loyalty by the party and

much for them. The little hand

CHAIRMAN BELDEN'S AP-
PEAL

THE REPUBLICAN PRESS URGED TO
USE ITS INFLUENCE FOR THE
LODGE BILL.
Representative Belden, chair
man of the Republican Congress
s;onal Committee, has issued the
following address to the Republi~
can editors of the country:
"The Republican party, in lis
several national platforms, have
pledged the country that, as one
ofns fundamental planks, it would
see to the execution of that pro-
vision of the Constitution which
guarantees to every lawful voter
in Federal elections his right to
deposit his ballot and have 1T
counted for the candidate of his
choice. That pledge. based on
Justice involves merely the exer.
else of ali unquestionable Consti-
tutional right Of every American
citizen. Nevertheless the gravest
election abuses in a large section
OF our country have deprived vast
masses of their lawful franchise,
have by fraudulent agencies I'M
posed an unlawful representation
in the National House of Repre-
sentatives, and have thus practl-
cally subverted the Constitution
in some of its most important and
valuable provisions. The strict
enforcement of this inalienable
right is demanded. as a solemn
duty.
No question of Negro suprema-
cy, no usurpation of Federal pow
er is involved in the issue. Toe

Gently passed the House deals
only with national elections, it

roctly, with State elections, State

NINE. ALBANTS FAREWELL.
Her Appearance in Lies HuSUC
nOtS" at the Metropolitan
Opera House.


New York Sun.
Nine. Albani made her farewell
appearance in opera in this city last
EVENING" She appeaed as Valentine
in Les HuguenOts,n and a large
number of her admirers assembled
in the Metropolitan opera house to
give her greeting The prima donna
was in good voice. She fairly earned
the applause which her efforts
aroused, and the flowers which were
passed over the fOOllights to her were
tributes to the artistic, as well as to
the person.
The role of Valentine is a COngen-
ial one to Nine. Albaui. 1t is suffi-
GENTLY dramatic to call for the most
effective OF her vocal powers Her i'm
persOnatiOn last evening was an ad-
mira BILE one. Nine. Fabbri, who has
grown in favor with every succeed
ing appearance, sang exceedingly
well, as did also SignOr Ravelli, who
has proved by the work he has done
during the past four weeks that ne
has developed dramatic talent in a
considerable degree since he first
sang i'm America, ten years ago.
The principals other than those
mentioned gave a fair measure OF
GOOD work, but did not earn special
praise. The ballet was an attractive
spectacle, rather more attractive than
similar TEXTURES in some of the per
formances during the season.

If mothers in general shared the
nerve exhibited by mothers in Ceylon,
trouble would be spared in many a
household: Babies wanted for ere
codile bait. Will be returned alive"
If newspapers abounded in Ceylon
as much as crOcOdiles do, advertise
ments like the foregoing would be
common in their want columns.
AS it is, the English crocodile hun
ter has to secure his baby by personal
solicitation. He is often successful,
for CeylOH parents, as a rule, have I'M
bounded Confidence in the hunters
and will rent their babies out to be
used a. crocodile bait for small con-
sheraton. CeylOn crOcOdiles suffer
greatly from ennui; they prefer to lie
quite still, sOOthed by the suns gilt
terIng rays and while away their
lazy lives in meditation. But when
a dark-brOwn infant, with curling
toes, sits on a bank and blinks at
them. they throw off their cloak Of
Iaziness and make their preparations
for a delicate mOrsel of Ceylonese hui
manity.
When the crocodile gets about half
way up the bank, the hunter, con-
cealed behind some reeds, opens fire,
and the hungry crocodile has his
appetite and life taken away at the
same time, the baby being brought
home safely to it's loving mamma.
The sportsman secures the skin and
head of the crocodile. and the rest OF
the carcass the native make use Of
CeylOn Messenger.
