SOUTH WASHINGTON NEWS

The Rev. DR.. Gray is still very
sick at 1923 New Jersey Avenue,
N. w.
The Minister'S Conference was
held on Monday lug last, at
Rev. Alexander Church, West
Washington, as named. Owing
to the absence of President I. s.
Robinson, the Rev. DR.. Philips
was elected acting President, and
K. s. Laws, Secretary.
After the welcome address by
Rev. Alexander, the order Of ex-
positions was brief, and a grand
discussion took place by the diff
ferent ministers upon the charac-
ter OF DR., G. B, Purvis' report OF
the lack of interest am NO the
colored churches for thair poor
The meeting was largely repre-
scented, being the week of prayer,
and strong indications were shown
to deal with this matter more dl-
rect at a future meeting Of the
Conference.
Rev. DR.. F. Cook, the Vice
President of the Conference, is
quite sick at his residence, SO
Duke street. Alexandria, Va.
About one hundred cases of the
La Grippe were reported to the
Conference during the week of
prayer, and ministers are suffering
very much with it themselves.
Communion will be served at
the following churches to morrow:
Bethlehem, Rehoboth, Second al d
Fifth Churches OF Washington,
and the First Church of Alexan-
dria, Va.
The only reasonable conclusion
arrived at for the ungoily asser-
ton of Lawyer J. M. Rcks before
the Police Court about Judge
Miller and the colored churches,
is that the colored churches are
efecting SO much of moral good
among the people of the city that
they draw too many five dollar
bills from the use of his practice,
and that his maddened anxiety to
draw his support from corrupted
humanity, invoked his anger to
tramdle upon his legal dignity to
the extent of his slanderous as
sault upon the christian churches.
There is some talk of continu-
ing the meeting one more week,
and it will be held at Hillsdale or
Bethlehem, on Tuesday the 14th,
from II NJ. to 2 o'clock.
The memorial services of the
late Rev. DIR. VIM. J. Walker are
being beautifully arranged for,
and will be held al the Church
L and 18th Street, n: W., on
Wednesday evening, January p,
1890.
Revivals services have COM
menced throughout the city.
The Week of Prayer was right
eously observed, and the sermons
were all practical.
Toe BEE is truly grateful to the
christians and their churches tor
their patronage during 1889, and
we shall act well our part through
the religious department which Is
permanently established.

THE STATUS OF THE NEGRO
LET CONGRESS ESTABLISH A SPE-
CIAL BUREAU IN THE CENSUS
OFFICE.

1t Is the opinion of the BEE that
the status of the Negro should be
carefully compiled. Let Congress
authorize Hon. Robert Porter to
establish a bureau or let Mr.. Por~
ter appoint a colored man chief of
division. The following is what
he said:
Robert ?. Porter, Superintenr
dent of the Census, in a letter to
the Secretary of the Interior, says
that among the numerous requests
for special investigation which
have come to his office is some
what formidable one petitioning
the Superintendent of the Census
to make d report in relation to the
exact condition, financial and So
cial, of the colored race in this
country. The census of March /,
1889, provides for the first time
for subdivision of this colored
population into "negroes, mulat
toes, quadroons and octoroons.
Provisions for ascertalning this
information Will be made in the
population schedule.
In some of the Southern States,
notably in The State Of Georgia,
Mr.. Porter says in his letter, the
report Of the assessed value of
property during the last ten years
has been divided into that held
by colored and white population.
The returns of the assessed vaIua-
ton of property in this State indi-
cate that the percentage ot increase
of the holdings of the colored pop
ulation has been considerably
greater than the percentage of in
crease IN the aggregate valuation
of the State, and it is therefore
natural, he adds, that those inte-
rested in the progress of the COLO
red citizens of the South should
desire more elaborate inquiry,
which would serve to show the
relative progress of the two races
in the United States.
In view Of this the Superinten-
dent has requested the several
special agents of his office to make
an estimate of the additional cost,
or to ascertain the obstacles, if any,
in the way Of making separate in-
quiries which would enable his
office to separate the facts relating
to the social and financial condl-
ton of colored and white people.
From the reports made by these
special agents, Mr.. Potter says he
is enabled to say that, with the
exception of the statistics Of
wealth, debt and taxation, the cost
of the several inquiries will not be
greatly enhanced by such a dl~
vision.
The cost, however, on gather
ing on special schedule and COM
piling the whole information de-
sired, would be considerable, and
while the Superintendent is will
ling to undertake this work if d.
rected to do so by Congress, he is
of opinion that it will require an
additional appropriation of about
$450,oO0.
In addition to the increased cost,
the Superintendent expresses the
fear that a special enumeration on
separate schedule in the hands
of the census enumerator, will en-
danger and possibly delay the
completion of the field work be-
yond the limit of one month pre-
scribed by the law.
Superintendent Porter has also
decided that it will be impractical
BILE to collect statistics as to the
ownership of homes aud farms, as
requested by the Farmers Alli-
aDce.

WIT AND WISDOM.

Genius is the infinite art Of taking
pains.-Carlyle.
Many man knows a dollar by sight
who does not know its value.
When a keen ear meets a cutting re-
mark it is natural that a sha'p encoun-
ter should ensue.
Every man knows how mean he IS
himself, but is not absolutely sure about
his neighbour; hence his fondness for
gossip.
We have no right to be cause OF
disturbance by living in that part of our
nature which tends to interfere with the
happiness or welfare of our fellowmen.
If everybody believed every thing
that he heard about everybody else,
how much better every man would
think himself than every one Of his
ncighbors!-Puck.
With us, law is nothing unless close
behind it stands a warm, living public
opinion. Let that die or grow indiffer-
ent, and the statutes are waste paper,
lacking all executive force.-Rural New
Yorker.
"A slight divergence at the outstart
carries the arrow far out of the way at
| the end, just as false step in starting
gives life result that is disastrously
wide of the mark. To begin we'll is to
begin true, and with sure aim.
| No enjoyment, however inconsider-
able, is confined to the present moment.
A man is the happier for life from hav-
ing made once an agreeable tour, or iv-
ed for any length of time with pleasant
people, or enjoyed any considerable in
terval of innocent pleasure.|Sidney
Smith.
| To men addicted to delights, busi-
ness is an Interruption; to such as are
cold to delights, business is an enter
tainment. For which reason it was said
to one who commended a dull man for
his application, mo thanks to him; II he
had no business he-would have nothing
| to do."-Steele.
| The touch of the lightning on the
top of the mountain is only an instant
long, yet it may rend the rocks, and de-
face the cliff and leave assures that cen.

the shortness of his touch with the
world.-The Central West.
Under no circumstances should the
expenses exceed the income. 1t is nj
WAYS more profitable to pay "spot cash"
than to contract debt, which should
not be done unless it is absolutely una
