MR.. BRUCE'S SOLUTION OF
THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
his INTERVIEW WITH A POST
REPORTER WHAT THIS
ABLE REPRESENTATIVE
SAYS,

"Yes, l was at the White House
to day" said Senator Bruce to
a Post reporter last night. 81
went there to meet a gentleman
by engagement and introduce
him to the President, but he
failed to come, and while waiting

with the President AID a number
of othe 81
"Thcn it was not in regard to the re-
cordership that your visit was madr9''
"Not at all. He said nothing about ap-
point Eents, neither did 7. ln fact our
conversation was general running one
in the presence Of dozen persons. "
''Of course upon an interesting tOpic?"
Not only interesting but very impor-
tant. We were discussing the race prob
lem of The South. That is giving the
President more anxiety than anything
else, aud he is exceedingly deFirous of
securing some solution Of it. He con-
verses freely in regards to it, and is a
willing listener. think he would give
ear to any reputable person who could
take him any suggestions that would aid
him in bringing about the ebjpct that he
has in view" "What sort OF suggestions
do you refer to9''
HE seem~ now to pretty fully under
stand the stu 'tion between the races in
the South, and his purpose ia to ascertain
what can best be done to satisfy all pa
ties there so that hereaf er peace will
be assured between them, and they will
live in cOntentment and all race trouble
disappear.
"What view did you take Of it?''
my suggestion was to educate the
masses, for | believe that as the poor
whites and the colored people become
educated and und, rstand the laws gov
ering society, they will prove themselves
good citizens, and these causes that oper-
ate to incite race differences and troubles
will disappear. am in favor of general
education with Government aid, for
without that assistance this education so
much needed cannot be secured and its
influence felt throughout that section
where the benefits to be derived from it
are essential to better the welfare of my
race" Did the President express him
self or state his opinion In regard to set
ling the matter?'
"He expressed himself as wishing to see
such relations established as will give
perfect peace and insure that the rights
of all classes will be recognized. He
feels stongly In regard to the matter and
is making sverv effort to see what can
be done. / was more OF listener than q

The appointment of Hon. B. K.
Bruce as Recorder of Deeds for the
District of Columbia is not sur
prise to the people of this District
nor TO the people OF the country
at large, as il had been anticipated
for some months. Mr.. Bruce is
well and widely known as a man
of ability, s'erling integrity, genial
and affiable, and in every way ac-
cep'able to the large number of
our citizens interested in the et-
ficient administration ofthiS Office.
We have always bad the most
implicit confidence in the Presi-
dent, and have again and again
asserted in these columns that be
would give our distinguished fell
low citizen a position cOmmeDsur-
ate with his ability and public
service. No official act of the
President, since his incumbsncy,
will give more satisfaction than
this appointment to the masses
of our people throughout this
country, and do more to unity the
di-gruntled eleme ent among our
people, and inspire confident in
the administration. A formable
effort was made to prevent the ap'
polntment of any colored man to
this ofice, but in this as in every
other emergency, the President
has exhibited that manly courage
for which he has been 80 long
noted. To the many applicants
for the office, ourseli included, we
will say, that this is not the only
Office to he given out by the adj
ministration, and as there are t.
be some prizes awarded some of
our disappointed applicants, among
the most worthy may be reward

He recognizes the fact that both the
whites and blacks are citizens under the

what is best to do" "Wss anything
decisive agreed upop?" ''No. There was
only general discussion of the question
and enlerchange Of views in regard to IT,.
I think the white people in the South are
making a mistake in not coming to his
aid in his efforts to settle this problem.
BE is not saying anything respecting the
past. but asking those of the South what
thew will now do to settle this matter
that the races may live in peace and en-
ioy their rights hereafter

some of them are very worthy ap-

they are colored or white, republi-

be?

DIR. LAWS ON INGALLS,.
The EMINENT DIVINE TELLS WHAT
He KNows-MUsT THE NEGRO
BE REINFORCED WITH CAUCASIAN
BLOOD?

no IOlIOW lH& luCCI FlCW U0-
tween DR.. K. s. Laws and the BEE
took place yesterday:
Doctor, you are one of the great
lights to whom the people look for
information, will you not consent
to say a word concerning the
speech OF Senator John Ingalls, of
Kansas, and do it for the benefit
of our readers and the race?
DIR. Laws.-We!l, business en-
gsgements with the church and
school have almost deprived me
of any right to accept suggested
interview of 80 much importance
1 do not agree with Senator In
gals, in his assertion that Erred
erick Douglass greatness is due to
his reinforcement of Caucasian
blood" because the same Senator
said in the same speech, at the
hour on the same floor, that the
Caucasian race, at every step of
its progress, from barbarlsm to
enlightenment, has refused to
mingIe its blood or assimilate with
the two oIher great human fami-
lies, the Mongolians and the Afrl-
cans, and has persistently rejected
adulteration," and more than half
Caucasian blood by reinforcement
would be a proof of seventy-fve
years mingle of the Caucasian
with the African race, a crime
with which we are charged, and
are not guilty, and should not be
held responsible, while his efforts

casian race only proved their i'm
morality by brutal aud unlawful
amaIgamation with our race.
The BRE.-Then you think that
the races are already mingled?
DR.. Laws.-Decidedly so. Why
sir, the number of complexions
borne by our race against our own
social and religious interests in
the eyes of the whites, who have
so unjnstly thrown suspicious upon
our former days virtues through
the gross immortality of the Cauca-
sians; tells us that ell the way
from 1882 to 1890 there has been
mingling of the two races named
by amalgamation through the i'm
morality of the Caucasians.
The BEE.-But Doctor, cali you
tell the public, as a minister,
whether or not, that you thiuk
that the mingling spoken of by
the Senator comes only between
white fathers and black mothers.
and seldom or never between black
fathers and white mothers?
DIR. Laws.-Well yes; l can tell
you now, that the Senator knew
better when he said ii; for Wash
ington alone can produce at least
one hundred families whose moth
ers are Anne ican Caucasian wo-
men, who are as good mothers,
wives and church members as we
have in the race.
The BEE.-Well what about his
criticism of the Douglass absolu-
ton version?
DR.. Laws.-1 quite agree with
Senator Ingalls, in that, for traciaI

Heroes Of the Frontier.

No more heroic deed has been recorded
In this territory in years than that of the
poor cowboys who followed their en-
ployers' stock to their death in the fear
full blizzard which ragged over the great
plains Of Colfax county last week. These
brave fellows were accustomed to severe
changes of the elements and fully COM
pretended the dangers Of night in such
a storm; but they were intrusted with
thousands of dollars worth of property,
and, like true knights of their profess
sion, they preferred to do their duty and
die rather than abandon the herd and
seek shelter.
Who can think of those daring riders.
following and attempting to control this
vast herd of Infatuated cattle in blind
ing, freezing storm, as they rushed over
the plains in the shadowy night, now
and again falling over embankments,
without realizing that they were heroes
worthy a nobler fate?
Did they shrink from the inevitable re-
suit of such night? No, they rode bold
~ to death, conscious only that it was
their "duty," and the end was typical of
their race.
Only recently the whole world ap-
plauded sea captain for stopping his
craft long enough to rescue the survivors
Of a wreck. 1t was plainly his duty to
do 80. And yet he was wined, dined and
made hero of on both continents. To
our mind, while the Judgment Of these
men may be questioned, they did far
drawer act in discharging their duty as
they saw it.
A cowboy is usually considered des-
perado and a tough, yet they all have
hearts easily touched, and few there are
among them who do not hold their lives
subject to the order Of the ''boss" when
in the line Of what they consider their
"duty." Frequently deserving the CEN
sure they receive, yet there is much to
admire in the typical cowboy. He may
break every law of nature and morality
himself, and yet no man has higher re-
gard for virtue, or will fight quicker for
the weak and afflicted, or give more
freely Of his scanty means to the poor
and unfortunate. He is usually mis-
guided and badly misunderstood indi-
vidual.-Stock Grower.

THE OLD MUSIC BOOK.

THE OLD MUSIC BOOK.
! tu:n With silent reverence
Its unknown pages DER;
The dusty lines inspire sense
OF something heard before,
In days long past, in other lands;
OF ancient melodies; .. H.
Old ha-psichords, and gentle hands
That touched the ivory keys.
The book a hundred fancies wears
On every yellow page,
Sonatas quaint, forgotten airs,
The notes all dim with age
And variations long wove out,
And faded songs and old,
With trills and turnings all about
And graces manifold.
Perchance in those old bygone days
Ny lady sat and played
In broidered stomacher of maize,
And lowered blue brocade.
Her issome fingers dancing ran,
Through many forid strain,
Until Miss Bell behind her fan
Begged that sweet piece again"
Perchance when summer nights were long,
And soft winds swept the meadows,
Some amorous youth poured out this song
To Chloe through the shadows.
Or beaux and bellies of higher state, /
In some well Lit pavilion,
Trod graceful through this minues.
Or figured this cotilion.
So vagrant fancies through the mfnd
Play ftful now and then,
As, with q smile and sigh combined,
close the book again
dare not touch its music old
In this rude modern day;
Hallowed by fingers long since cold,
And voices passed away.

Writing History.

There is pathetic piece of slang in
use out at the City hospital. On the
headboard of each patients bed there 10
posted large card, upon which the at
tending physician writes a description
of the case and something of the personal
history of the patient. When the man
dies or is discharged, the card is taken
down and filed away in the records Of
the hospital, and the descriptive card OF
the next patient is put up on the bed.

death or recovery Of an invalid, and it Is
