Washington Bureau THE APPEAL ST. 10 st. N. w
President Harrison has shown himself
to be an adept at oratory. His original
and unique talks along his Western tour
- has attracted the attention of criticsSand
and so far they have been unable to de-
tect wherein the encyclopedia has played
any part, Ex-President Cleveland made
a Western trip but the critics who fol-
lowed in his wake were almost able to
report his speeches before they were
delivered. 1t is a great task to make ad-
dresses suitable to the various classes
who constitute this American Republic,
and to successfully do so indicates a YER
;satility and genius at speech-making
that but few men possess. President
Harrison as talker is as incompatible
as he is a president of grand nation.
He commands the admiration of all.
The Duke of Marlborough has made
tour of the Southern States andsin his
report which will be published in the
London papers he speaks very encour-
agingly of the mineral wealth of that
region. He discussed the question of
mineral development Of that country
with justice and with this slight remark
dismisses the cotton producing states.
*'The great question of the the Negro
and his future is SO mixed up with
Southern prospects that it is almost USE
less to enter into speculations regarding
the cotton states" This is sad COM
mentary on any people that a liberal
minded man and subject to queen
should refuse to speculate even on the
future of portion of republic, owing
to the persecution of class of its citizens.
The more that the Afro-American is
prosecuted the slower will be the devel-
opment of that country wherein he suf-
ers.
Rev. J w. Smith, pastor of John Yves
ley church in Harrisburg, Pa, has at
tracted considerable attention from the
metropolitan press by recent sermon
of his on dancing. The New York Sun
gives the gist Of his sermon in which he
demanded that his church members
either give up dancing or get out of the
church. Father Ignatius the self-made
monk is creating quite furry in New
York by his criticism of protestant pas
tors, and thus all along the line is the
demand being made for revival of the
old time religion.
Hon. B. K. Bruce is out in an inter-
view in the New York Age in which he
entertains suspicion that Hon. VIM.
Mckinley will be "a possible candidate in
1892 Mr., Bruce need not fear from this
cause as no doubt Mr.. Mckinley is
young enough to wait until 1896.
Rev. Jas. H. A. Johnson, presiding
elder of the Potomac district of the A.
M. E. Church was in the city last Sun
day the guest of Mrs. j. F. Wheaton the
accomplished wife of Mr.. Whe ton of
the Agitator.
The funeral services of Miss Mary
Brodie, an estimable lady Of this city
were held at St. Mary's Episcopal church
on the 10th inst.
Quite stir is being raised in the fac
ulty of the Theological Department of
Howard University. Particulars have
not been given out, but some radical
changes are expected.
