is sixteen and Snyder is nineteen. No
one could be found who would make
affidavit to the girls age, and the
Squire refused TO marry them without
such a witness. Tho strange actions
Of Snyder attracted the attention OF
Officers Gibbs and klesspees, who ar
rested him on the chargoo of abduction.
Twenty dollars, which belonged to the
girl, were found on his person.
The parents of the girl have been
notified of her detention. At midnight

Louisville Tobacco Market, Furnish
ed by Glover s. Durrett-Louisvllle
Tobacco Warehouse.

Sales on market for the week just
closed amount to 1899 hhds, with re.
ceipts of 1874 hhds for the same
period. Sales on our market since
January LIST, amount to 29,SS3 hhds.
Sales of the crop of 1890 on our mar
ket to date, 1S,343 hhds.
The market this week has shown
rather more activity than it did at the
close of last week. The condition of
the market may be decribed briefly as
fluctuatingly high for the good and
fine grades, with some irregularity in
the good prices being paid for the
medium grades and steadily low
market for common grades. The sales
continue immense and no doubt that
the apparent willingness ON the part
of the growers to accept rapidly the
present market conditions will guar
antcc the pitching of a large crop under
favorable weather conditions. The
following quotations fairly represent
our market for dark Burley tobacco
crop of 1890:
Trash (dark) or damaged tobacco,
81 to $500; colory trash, $50 to ST ;
common Jugs not colory, $3.50 to $3.50 ;
colory Tugs, So to $40; common leaf,
81 to $40; medium TO good leaf, $40 to
SIG; good to fine filters SIG to $40;
select wrappery tobacco. $40 to s27, so.

THISDAY CHOOSE BETWEEN
THEM.

The editor of this paper, has for |
the last ten or fifteen years, held
Recorder b. K. Bruce in the high.
eat esteem; the BEE, since It's
existance has endeavored TO pro
tect him against the assaults OF
enemies and it is presumed that
its feeble efforts have been sppre>
cisted. The time has come how
ever, that he must choose between
his friends and his enemies and to
assure his friends that he appreci-
ates what they think of him, the
removal of Henry johnson from
the Recorders Office isan absolute
necessity: not only for his own
good, but for the good of this
community. He with others were
invited to the investigation OF
Prof. j. M. Gregory, no reporter
was allowed in the room: but to
the disgust of the people of this
city a one sided report was pub
lished IN the Evening Star. The
editor, MIR. Noyes, has been I'M
posed upon by a member of the
smelling committee and as Casino
Bill is not competent to make
such a report and it ls not pre-
sumed that Dan. Murry would be
so brutal as to attack one of the
brightest lady teachers in this
city, Miss Lucy Moten, it is evil
dent that Henry johnson is the
individual who has always had a
dislike for Miss Moten, made the
report and would resort to such
mean methods to injure her.
The people are above the devil
and when Commissioner Ross in
his address on Wednesday night
complimented Miss Moten as one
of the most brilliant lady instruc-
tors In this country, he paid
deserving compliment to worthy
lady which the people OF this
community will appreciate.
Mr.. Bruce is we'll aware that il
was Henry johnson who instgat-
ed the attacks on him when Col
Schyer was appointed Deputy Re-
corder of Deeds; and no one fell
the effects of those attacks more
than Mr.. Bruce. 1t now comes tC
light, that, after Johnson
white wife, resigned her position
in his office, Johnson's pay wa
increased from $75 to 500. Thu
is Mr.. Johnson's reward for hi
attacks on Mr.. Bruce. Perhap'
the Recorder will prefer to remair
Among his enemies, but, he mus
this dsv choose between them.

John f. Cook has been appoint
cd tax assessor for the District OF
Columbia and be editor of the
Washington Bee thereupon throws
up his hands in thanks and holy
glory for the concessions this ap
pointment seems to him to be, to
his popular hobby of Grace recog-
nitlon." The appointment of Cook
was not made in recognition Of
the claims of the colored voters of
the country, it was made to satis-
fy the little ring of "big niggers"
around Washington city, who have
been fattening on government pap
for the last twenty-five years.
| Cook does not need the Office; he
held the Office of tax collector of
the District of Columbia for Is
years, and it is generally known
that he is new worth not less than
5000, 900, ell of that amount made
and accumulated during the
time that he held Office. What
has Cook ever done for the party
or his race that should entltle him
to this appointment and profitable
Office? The government has fed
John F. Cook until be is fat in
pocket and fat in ffesh-he will
pull down the scales to 800, and
we think that some more deserv-
ing man than this bloated speci-
men of Washington negro aristOc-
racy should have been appointed.
The Bee also gives Bruce a great
send off for the influence and tact
he has exhibited in procuring, it
says, the appointment of Cook.
OF course Bruce would help Cook,
for they are of the same kith and
kin, and both are prominet mem
bers of that.kitchen aristocracy of
Washington city so we'll and un-
favorably known to visitors to
that city. and so often denounced
by the Bee.
Why does not Bruce exert his
tremendous influence to secure
some snch good place for some
more deserving and better party
man than Cook We would much
prefer to see the editor of the Bee
hold such an Office than to see it
filled by the recent appointee.

A SENSIBLE LETTER.

To the editor of Washington BEE
Should you find 1T convenient for
these lines to be given aplace in
the columns of your widely clrcu-
lated journal, l am quite sure that
should they not instruct with pithy
statements and original Observa-
tions the reading public, whatever
may be the status of their cOnvlc-
tions, or however biased may be
their judgements, it can be said i'll
all candOr and truth that the senti-
ments herein expressed are IN
harmony with the voices and views
of large number of representative
citizens whose interest upon all
questions of local concern and
public good are not to be impeach-
ed by the hasty or injudlciOus,
whatever may be their opinions as
to the relative merits or demerits
of the results OF the investigation
lately held into the charges brought
against Prof. Gregory.
In the first place it was Infamous
that men whose **respectability and
position in the community, gave
some guarantee at least that there
was spark OF pride in them which
would revolt at the thought of
parading before the country, the
private affairs of a single man and
thereby to bring additional Odium
and upprObium to the portion of
the man Of color which is already
his legacy in every walk and vicissi-
tude OF life. The charges were the
results of the schemes and machina-
tions of man whom, may l ask
is he qualified either morally
or mentally for the high trust which
it is rumored he seeks by tearing
down by infamous methods man
who has stood like COLOSSUS in
the van guard of progressive educa
tors and who has been for many
years respected and admired for his
manly worth as we'll as his scholas-
tic attainments? It is claimed and
admitted that Prof. Gregory has
borrowed money. What of that? !?
According to Court Records which
are usually exact, has not Mr.. Dan.
Murray also borrowed considerable
money?
What living man has not at some
time in bis experience done the
same. Doctors borrow, Ministers
borrow. but does any one claim
that it is an evidence of looseness
or turpitune. Nations borrow
money, civilization is fostered and
promoted by borrowed money.
Railroads are possible only through
borrowed capital. Italy today exists
because it is possible for her to
negotiate loans. But recently

as a nation are indebted today
something like 1850, 100000, and
not one state in the Union ls free OF
debt. The institution OF loans Is
about as old as established govern
ments. Genesis tells US that even
the Deity enjoined upon the jews
before the exodus "tO let every
man and woman borrow OF MS
neighbOr."
Men waited with breathless lm-
patience news from the investlga-
ton of Prof. Gregory, which mas
heraled with so much ''pomp ana
circumstance and what was the
result, that Prof. Gregory has Dor
rowed some money, and that too
from people whom he has directly
or indirectly befriended.
We can but say in conclusion
that nothing has transpired to the
detriment of Prof. Gregory either
as to his efficiency as schoo
trustee, or his honesty as man
but the unmitigated baseness O
those who inspired the charges l,
beyond expression 10 words, and
only merits the pity OF everyone
who hitherto believed them to b'
capable or more lofty purposes
and intentions than the employ
ment of black mRilers.
