as Minister to Liberia. His nomination
is quite surprise to many and espec-
tally to Minister Smith. Mr. Clark has
overcome good deal of opposition as
the Colonization Society generally d.
reefs the appointment of Minister to
Liberia. Had not Mr.. Clark been en-
dorsed by Col. Perry Carson W ho,is an
intimate friend and admirer of Secre-
tary Blaine, his name would not have
received such consideration. Mr.. l.. W.
Pulies of Kansas and some other States,
and erstwhile editor of the Cleyela nd
Globe was an applicant for the post.
The New York papers are responsl BILE
for the statement that J. Milton Turner
of st. Louis, Mo-. is the protector of a
scheme to colonize large number of
Colored families in Mexico for the our.
pose of raising coffee. He states that
syndicate of coffee dealers and importers
in New York city are willing to furnish
$500, 900 or more to forward the enter
prise. Possibly there is some merit in
such an enterprise. but the logic in not
quite clear on that point since the man
ners. language and customs of the peo-
pie of Mexico are contrary to the ideas
of life among the Negro. It seems as
though the Negro is to be eternally used
as cats paw.
North Carolina Colored Republicans
are evidently the most chronic Get of
grum oilers in the United States. A con
vention is to meet in Raleigh on the 9th
inst anj J. H. Williamson an ex State
Senator is quoted as saying that anti ad-
ministration resolutions will be passed.
He bases his assertion on the untrue
ground that the administration has not
been liberal enough to North Carolina
Colored Republicans. The facts are
that the Colored men of the South in
government positions outnumber those
from the North. Because Mr.. William
son and Mr.. Outlaw of North Carolina
are not given positions such as Comp
troller ofthe Currency or Supervising
Architect, they are kicking. Enough
ofanything is enough, and such chronic
grumblers and office-seekers should be
frowned down. It is not the admins
tration alone that they oppose, it is the
reelection of Congressman Cheatham.
Senator Cullom of Illinois is out.
spoken in favor of the Federal Election
Law. The Senate Caucus on the bill
modified some of its stringent features
but the body of the bill remains about
the same
Senat II Vest of Missouri says that the
Senate has studiougly ignored the Negro
in the Tariff Bill as the principal things
OF which be is producer, sugar, Gotten
and rice, have been sacrificed to the in.
dustries Of the Northern white man.
Mr.. Vest should remember thatthe Re-
publican party must save the manufac-
turers as they are the ones out of whom
the fat must be fried. Bravo Vest.
