In the East room Of the White House
impressive funeral services were held
on the 5th over the remains of Mrs. Tracy
and Miss Mary Tracy, the wife and
daughter of the Secretary of the Navy.
The large assemblage present included
every prominent Government and for
eign official at Washington.
EDITOR MITCHELL, of Richmond, read
q paper at the,National convention of
colored men in Washington on the 5th
upon outrages upon colored people in
the South. He said that 1888 negroes
had been lynched in the South from
1887 to date, and that colored men had
been roasted in North Carolina. A per-
manent organization was formed to be
known as the American Citizens Equal
Rights Association of the United States
of America.
In Washington on the 9Th the colored
mems convention elected ex-senator
Pinchback president of the National
organization and issued an address to
the people of the United States asking
justice for the co1ored race, and declar-
ing that the colored vote in the
South is suppressed by violence or
neutralized by fraud, and that
their children are not afforded the
school facilities to which they are en-
titled. The co.ored voters are urged to
support in the future only such candi-
dates for public Office as are known to
be in favor of justice to the colored
American citizens. All we ask, SAYS the
address in conclusion, is justice, equal
rights and fair play.
In the United States there were 259
business failures during the seven days
ended on the 7th, against 291 the pre-
vious seven days. The total of failures
in the United States January to date
is 1,8S7, against 1871 in 1889.
SECRETARY TRACY, it was stated on
good authority on the 18th, would not
relinquish his official duties on account
of his recent terrible affection.

Good Work.

EDITOR TIMEs:-
Please allow me just enough
space enough in the columns of
your excellent paper to speak my
approval of the letter written by
JNO. A. GODDARD In your issue Of
December 10th. 1t has the ring of
absolute truth in it, unalloyed with
sensational "BOom" falsehOods. A
Misrepresentation of a country or
town, while it may put money into
a few pockets, does not improve
the general welfare of the public at
large. We may write of our $5O, 900
hotels, our water wOr, S, our popu.
lation, etc, all of which are the off.
spring of a distorted Imagination,
made so by the selfish greed for the
filthy lucre, but when the true con.
dition of a country thus "Boomedn
is known the effect is disastrous
and a detriment to the place instead
of 4 help. Write again John.
