THE RECORD OF TIE SES,
SION.

The New York World had two
column editorial last Sunday un-
der the above caption. We take
one extract "Besldes attending
to its legislative work the majority
in the House exposed RAUM'S ini-
quLtous administration of the Pen
sion Office and showed the Presi
dent to be his PROTECTOR
For the purpose of stating in the
most emphatic manner we know,
that the statement ia a clear cut
| falSehOOd.
This paper has never run mad IN
eulogizing General Green B. Raum.
We believe in fair play even for
the Commissioner of Pensions, not
withstanding it is rumored that he
has not at all times dealt fair by
the ''faithful allies"
The truth of the matter, in rela-
ton to Mr.. EnlOe's committee and
their report, Is that the whole thing
was premeditated concocted dem
ocratic campaign "buzzen." Mr..
Enloe has not demonstrated the
proper sort of capacity to work the
scheme; he was too sh rt in the
reach and his colleagues 80 stated,
sub rosa.
The syndicate to smear Raum
and tar the President went down
and the result is that they could
not, or at least they did not. con
meet Greene Raum in the least
way with anything direct
ly or indirectly dishonest. The
closing remarks of Mr.. D0lIiver, of
Iowa, in answer to some of Mr..
EnlOe's slurs (and by the way, we
suggest that the gentleman from
Tenn. will improve every oppor-
tunity that he can approach this
summer and fall to cultivate man.
ners suitable to legislative body,
rather than the course plantation
and river gamblers style) will show
exactly the true statue of the case:
The gentleman from Tennessee
(Mr EnlOe) in his unconscious stu>
pidity has presented an argument
for Gen. Raum of more force and
effect than could possibly be franz
ed By any of his friends here. He
has shown that the charges which
have been industriously trumped
up by him for the past three
months have made so little impress
The Washington bee., 1892-08-13

sion upon sense and conscience OF
his own associates and colleagues
on this floor that they have not
been deemed worthy by the demo-
cratic party of hearing, much less
a decision IN the tribunal. Ap-
plause on the republican side.
And l could not more perfectly
present the answer of the repu0ll'
can and democratic friends of the
commissioner of pensions than to
say that we are defending a man
whose character IS so high that the
gentleman from Tennessee, with his
syndicate of discharged pension
employees at his heels, could not
make case against him of sutfi-
importance to enlist the attention
of his own colleagues on the floor
of this House Applause on the re
publican side.

MORTALITY IN THE DIS
TkICT.

DR.. C. NJ. Hammett, Hath Oflicar,
presents the following report for week
ending August 9th, 1892.
Number eff -deeaat al { h11 f1s, f58; white,
90 ; colcred, 66 Death rate per
1000 per annum: white, 28.1;
colored, AZ 9. Total population,
1913, 81 were under five years OF
age; so were under one year old
aud 81 over 60 years 81 Of the
deaths occurred in hospitals and
public institutions.
The deaths by classes were as
follows: Zymotic, Sc; consitu-
tional, 27; local, SO; develop
mental, II; violence, 4
The principal causes of death
were: Group, 0; diphtheria, 0;
consumption, IA: diarrhoeaI, As;
erysipeIas, 0; typhoid fever, 4;
malarial fever, 2; scarlet fever, 0;
pneumonia, 1; congestion OF the
lungs, 0; bro. chltis, 8; mea~
sles. 0; whooping cough, 3;
kidney diseases, 3; meningitis, 4;
cancers, l.
Births reported: 27 white males,
% white females; % colOred
males, "a cOlOred females.
Marriages reported: II white:
5 colored. Still-bir1hs reported;
l white; 5 colored.
The coJl wave which followed
the heated term OF last week caused
a very noticeable decline in the
death rate for the last few days.
The numbyr of decendents fell
from 266 to 153 in the seven day 8
and the death,ra'e passed from
55 3 to 1878 for the total popula
ton. The Dumber of deaths in
the corresponding period of last
year was IA. 1t will thus be
seen that the death-rate has fal-
len back to about the normal,
considering the evident steady in>
crease in population. The con-
tsgfous diseases, except whooping
cough IN a mild form, have al
most completely disappeared.
Diph'heria may be said to have
been stamped out, through the
firm execution of the late law in
regard to that disease and scar
let fever. MaIarial cases are min
imum, there having been but 4
deaths from typhoid fever and
two from malarial fever thrOugb-
out the whole District. 1t may
be remarked that large proper
ton of deaths is of aged persons
over fifty years old. This class
embraced nearly 25 per cent of the
total. The mortality among child
rem under five years of age was
sixty seven, as compared with
about sixty which would be the
normal number. TwentysOne
persons died from heat prostra>
tion during the week.
The Washington bee., 1892-08-13
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

The leading coIored men in
many of the Northern states are
endeavoring by letters and othe-
wise, to have furnished them the
full details in the Lomax murder
case.
This OUTRAGEOUS affair is regard
ed as henious as a first class
Southern murder or lynching.
If there is to be change in the
Chief of Police, the appointment
of Frank Aldrich would be dis-
tasteful to the republicans of this
city. AIdrich is incompetent for
the place. Maj)r Moore must

are asking for statements IN re-
gard TO the Lonax murder.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

In consequence of the vast num-
ber of communications, and other
wise, sent to tblS office very recent
ly, it becomes necessary that we
again, once more, remind the send.
ers, that under no conditions what.
ever will this journal make itself
the medium of nauseating Its read
ers by allowing such stuff as some
of these letters show upon their

We can locate the whereabouts and
author of almost every "anony-

Our advice is plain and simple,
those who want to enter charges

SILLY NEGROES.

Ne print elsewhere a card from
Senator Bruce IN regard to silly
story put into circulation about
the Sena e's failure to confirm Mr..
Hill as postmaster at VIcksburg,
Miss. 1t was not necessary that
Mr.. Bruce should notice such
twaddle; every sensible man in
the country knows that there is
nothing in such insinuatiOns. We
are perfectly familiar with all the
facts and know that Mr.. Bruce
has sta ed them correctly.
Here is another case exactly
like that of Hills DR.. Crum WIS
recently appointed pos master at
Charleston, S. G, but when his
nomination reached the Senate it
WAS met by such intense opposi-
tinn from p ortion of the mem
berShip of the Senate that had ID
vote been reached it is probable
that the nomination would have
been rejected. 1t is now in order
for some of the gang of silly ne-
groes to select some prnmlnent
colored man aud charge him with
responsibility fer the action of the
Senate in this case also.
A prominent colored man was
recently an applicant for Judicial
honors but failed Of success
ThereupOn the gang of silly ne
groes started the cry that "a l.
ored man did it," ard promptly
proceeded t. eel, ct first Douglass
tten Bruce and some man living
somewhere in the West, nobody
knew where.
If the silly negroes find tom>
for; in charging their own race
with the responsibility for each
and every defeat that befalIs them,
ouVhue bro, hers, we are quite
sure, will make no otjectlon to it,
but will see To it thai defeats are
