Our First Congressman.

On the 4th day IF March, 1879. the
first Congress of the United States of
America began its first session. And
though we sometimes date our ma
tional existence from July 4th, 1910,
when the Declaration of Independence
was promulgated to the world, that
was really only the establishment of a
confederacy of independent states, for
the single purpose of freeing them
selves from the domination of the
British Crown. Under this compact
the Revolutionary War was fought
but after peace was gained. the par
ticular interests of the separate states
began to clash, and it was evident that
the General Government needed larger
powers if the country was to amount
to anything among the people of the
earth. Our existence as a consolidated
aud powerful nation may therefore
properly be said to have begun in 80.
The history of no nation can show
such a growth in l03 years; and but q
small part of our $4,000 900 people
would be here were it not for rail-
roads, for the center of the continent
could not be populous without them,
and the bulk Of the population is in
the central portion OF the country.
Foremost among these transportation
systems is The Burlington which
gives the Northwestern people quick
and easy communication with the
East, South and Southwest. For tick
cts, time tables, maps, etc, call on
your nearest ticket agent, or address

President Harrison appointed
Hon. John II. Lynch of Mississippi,
Fourth Auditor of the L. S. Treas
ury, in April, 1889 In this office
there are fifty clerks and four Chiefs
Of Divisions. When Mr.. Lynch
took charge there was only one col
Ored man in the Bureau holding a
position higher than that of laborer.
But under Mr.. Lynch's administra-
ton there have come into this Office
five colored clerks getting salaries
ranging all the way from $1,000 to
$1,000 a year, and one colored
Chief of Division with a salary of
$4,000 year. -Four of these clerks
have been promoted in grade OF
work and salary since their connec-
ton with Mr. Lynch's Bureau.
Previous to the present admins
tration there had never been a color
ed girl employed as a printers as
sistant in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, and when the first one
was certified in February, 1890, a
very vigorous protest was made by
the plate printers against their en-
ployment. A committee of Plate
Printers Assembly, X. of L., waited
upon the chief of the Bureau, Capt.
William NJ. Meredith, well known
in indianapolis, and asked him if il
was true that he intepded to put a
coon girl" at work. He informed
| them that it was true; that the girl
| had passed q creditable examination
and had been duly certified by the
| Civil Service Commission, and that
his duty in the matter was plainly
to accord her the same treatment as
was accorded to white girls so cert
fed. The committee then declared
their Intention to light the chief
on this issue, and carried tie mat
ter to the Secretary Of tie Treas ury
the late lamented William Window
and then ~ the President. Chief
Meredith was sustained, two printers
who had refused (under instructions
of the Plate Printers Assembly Of
the Knights of Labor to work with
the colored girl and were dischared
Were taken back on condition that
the first one Of them should accept
her as his assistant. Since ther
there have been 45 young ladies Q.
color certified to the Bureau, and
there are now 46 of them at work
performing their duties in an entire
| " satisfactory manner. Since the
first introduction of colored girls a.
printers assistants, however, tn,
leaders of the Plate Printers Assem-
bly, have waged relentless war up
on the Chief, and are still adherins
to their resolution to fight him t,
the end.
