The Race Question IN Washington.


There are few journals better or more IN
dependent than the Washington Post. IL
Is not afraid to let the truth be known.
How is it that our alert Washington con-
temporary has not posted its readers as TO
the excitement on the race question which
n Washington correspondent of Cincin-
natl paper SAYS has recently existed, II 1t
does not now exist. in the nations CAPT.
tai? The cause Of the trouble Is stated as
follows
1.-THE race question is bothering the
plate-printers in the Bureau OF Eh-
craving and Printing. The. matter mas
been called to their attention in personal
and somewhat interesting manner.
colored girl who passed the civil-service
examination with high standing was de-
tailed as assistant TO a white printer, each
pate-printer having woman assistant.
The printer in question refused 70 work
with a colored girl, and Chief Meredith
discharged him. There the affair stands,
with the prospect of trouble from IN o'a .;s
charged brother. While the printers
themselves do not admit that they base
their objections on the girls color, and
thereby bring that issue into the case. they
eay they are opposed TO the appointment OF
assistants without either consultation with
them or gaining their consent"
Thus proceeds the war upon human ma
ture which the unwise Republicans have
been carrying on for the last twenty years.
Esop tells US in his fable of the blacka-
moor that the negro cannot by human laws
be secured or washed into white man.
His negro character will adhere TO him as
long as his skin. He is not a black white
man. He can never become the equal OF
the white man in the white mans country;
and he has not enterprise and self-reliance
enough to lead hlm to settle country and
establish a government of his own. The
negro race is parasite race. The negro
can no more stand alone than can the
weakest vine that clings to tree.
There are thousands of white girls in
this country anxious to get oil such
places rs the one which Chief MKRE-
prTH is bent upon filling with ne
cress. There are not half enough offices
to "go round" with the gentle eau
casians. Why keep them out of good pay
ing places and FL these places with per
sons of an inferior race? 1t is an I'M
natural preference which Mr.. MEREDITH
has shown. Such folly will come to an end
whenever the northern Democrats stand
up before the whites of the North and tell
them the whole truth in regard to the ne
groes and the negro problem. blood is
thicker than water" in the North as well
as everywhere else.

THE CHARTER EXCITEMENT REVIVED.
MUSCOE'S CASE.
A Jury Secured-A Precautionary Mea-
sure.


Especial telegram to tho Dispatch.l
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, February 12.-The
City Court made quick work this morning
in completing the jury in the case of
William Muscoe Us. the Commonwealth.
The court began to hear evidence by IL
o'clock, and during to-day's session eight
witnesses were examined for the Common
wealth. The evidence as given in to-day
is. with slight variations, the same as that
produced at the former trial, and no new de-
yelopments of any consequence have been
made by either the defence or prosecution.
The story as told by the witnesses to-day
recites the murder of Policeman Seal
and the pursuit and capture of Muscoe
the murderer. A number of witnesses
both for the Commonwealth and defence
are vet to DE examined. The interest in
the case is very great and the courtroom
was crowded throughout to-day's session,
but the majority of the spectators were
colored.
SAFEGUARD.
The Monticello Guards have been called
out and detachment was placed at the
Jail tonight. The authorities have ordered
this as precautionary measure, though it
is generally believed that no attempt will
DO made to take Muscoe from prison, as
our people are willing to let the law take
its course.

AN OPINION.

cluplOS
AN OPINION.
Mr.. w. T. OVERLY. sheriff Of Pittsylvania
county. and a man who has been intl-
mately associated with the County Court
business for several years. says that the
best and simplest way TO reduce CRIMINAL
expenses is to pass law giving justices or
the peace exclusive jurisdiction IN INSIDE
meanor cases. There is no use, he says, IN
enlarging the jurisdiction Of justices of the
peace so long as the County Court has con-
current jurisdiction, because people VINO
start misdemeanOr cases would rather go
before grand jury than a justice. JUS
tices. he continues, already have jurisdic-
ton in the misdemeanor cases which are
costing the State so much. but these cases
were begun before the grand Iurles and
not before a Justice. He does not THINK
the recommendations Of the Senate COM
mittee will do very much to reduce crimI-
nal expenses unless justices are given ex-
elusive jurisdiction i'll misdemeanor cases.
