NOT CLANISH.

In thousands of cases the ties OF con-
sanyuinity between black and white are
closer than that existing between black
aud black. There is nothing in common
between natures Of two Afro-Amercan
save that which circumstances forced up
on them .-Plaindt &ler.
The popular impression among
the whites is that the cOlored peo-
pie are cIanish to almost danger
Gus degree; that like the Scottish
clans of old, an injury to one Is
an injury to be resented by all,
in short that the Afro American
shiboleth is; "Each for each, AID
all for all" This is an error
which we have again and again
had occasion to emphasize in
these columns, and We regret that
it is an error. We believe that the
indlgnities heaped upon them as a
race is due to a measurable ex-
tent at least to the fact that they
are devoid of clamshuess, each is
too deeply absorbed in his own in
divlduality.

The NJ ssissippi constitutional
convention Is in session and the
question which each delegate is
asking the other is, "what shall

certainly disfranchise half the

establish a property qualification,

COMMISSIONER HINES.

No one regrets the retirement
of Hon. l.. g. Hines, from the
Board of Commissioners than the
people of this community and the
editor of this paper. We regret
that there should have been an oc-
casion for any misunderstanding
between Commissioners Hines
and Roberts to have forced the
formers retirement as one of the
Executive officers of the District
government. No persuasion will
make Mr.. Hines remain and it is
likely that the President will
name a man for his place on his
return to the city from Cape May
or within 80 days anyway. We
respectfully suggest to the Presi-
dent the appointment of a man
who has given entire satisfaction,
as an officer of this government
and one in whom the people have
confidence Hon. John w. Ross.
MIR. Ross is fine gentleman Of
great executive ability who would
give satisfaction to the masses il
appointed. We would then name
Tor the city Postmaster to succeed
Mr.. Ross. Hon. A. NJ. CIapp
Mr.. CIapp's appointment would
give national qualification.

SENATOR HOAR.

This gentleman is passing
through a sea Of defamation just
now. From the day be reported
the Federal Election Bill to this
hour he has been the special tar
Get of the Southern Democratic

tat1on. the vilest falsehoods have
been resorted to to defeat the mea-
nre which be has in hand and to
DESTROY his influence in this coun-
try. The Northern Democrats
now as in the days of slavery are
only too eager to do netarlous
work prescribed to them by their
Southern masters. The brszen
falsehoods manufactured here
and sent broadcast over the
country will not injure him with
the people. New England is proud
of her gifted son, one OF the pur'
est. best and sblest men ever was

will stand by him at all hazards
