The appointment of Ex-Sen-
ator Bruce, as Recorder of Deeds
in the District Of Columbus, will
give wide satisfaction not only
because it is just recognition of
the celored race in the distribu-

has shown himself capable of fill
ing scceptsbly almost any post
for which the President might
select him. As United States
