DEMOCRATIC NEGROES IG.
NORED.
HE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE FAILED TO
RECOGNIZE THEM-A WATCHMAN
EMPLOYED TO KEEP THEM QUE OF
THE CAPITOL,

Just as soon as the Democratic
officers of the House of Represen.
tatIyes were sworn in last month,
there were about ten or twelve of
the so'called colOred democrats
who beseiged the democratic Off
clal for places. 1t is surprising to
know that some of the leaders who
claimed that they would be ap-
pointed to representative places,
only received "spittoon washers"
positions and very glad to get that.
One cOlOred democrat who claimed
that he carried the state of Mary
land for the democratic party, had
not up to date received recognition
and it is doubtful that he will.
1t is said that the members were
so much annoyed that a Waterman
had to be employed to keep them
away. Out of the great number of
policemen, watchmen, messengers
and other places on the House side
not one Negro democrat is likely to
get place.
The best evidence that no Negro
need apply Is that the leader and
representative of the Palmer Dem
Ocratic Club received a scrub place.
This is the reward of the colOred
democrats.

REV. WILLIAM CosrEN COULDN'T EAT AT
NoLZS- But HE Cor JUSTICE IN THE
POLICE COURT AT JUDGE GREGG's
HAND.

Judge Gregg rendered descis-
ION in the Police Court Saturday
which will earn for hun the friend
ship of the cOlored population.
Rev. William II. COsten, a COL
Ored Episcopalian minister from
Cleveland, went into VOlz'S res
taurant, on West Sixth Street,
about 6 O'Clock Thursday evening.
He gave an order for a dinner,
but the waiter refused to serve him
unless he would eat in the kitchen.
Costen said he was a gentleman
and had right to be treated as
such.
Proprietor VOIz gave him the
choice of eating III the kitchen or
going out. COSten would do
neither, and Volz then had him
arrested for disorderly conduct.
The testimony id the court de-
veloped that the oaly offense Cos
ten had committed was being born
colored. There was not a particle
of evidence to show ally disorderly
conduct, and Judge Gregg prompt
Iy dismissed the case.
COsten will probably begin suit
for damages for false imprlson-
ment.-Clncinnati Post.

LOUISE TO CLARA,
DEAR CLARA:

DEAR CLARA:
l spent a very quiet Christmas,
in deed. | remained indoors very
nearly all day. l have no doubt
that you enjoyed your theatre trip!
Gus Williams is an excellent act
and his new play was a hit on the
Washington theatre gOerS.
l understand that the trustees
will make a change IN the personal
of the High school at the next
school term. The taxpayers are
very anxIOns also to have the
graduates to the Normal school
Incr ,aSed t. 40. | am Of the opin-
ion that the GOlorel trustees will
favor this increase.
Dr.. F. j. Shadd who has been
confined to his bed, is able to be
out again greatly to the gratiica-
ton of his many friends. The
doctor is quite favOrite among
the people, and his continued sick
ness caused much uneasiness
among his numerous friends.
The choir of the 10Th Street
Presby terIan church is steadily on
the increase. Notwithstanding the
split. | am still of the opinion
that harmony should be perfected
IN some way.
In referring to suspicious people
| quite agree with you. Suspicious
people ale generally in great fault
and fearing that their own faults
may be seen they are always as
piring to michief and suspicion
every body they meet. If on" race
was less suspicious and pref, dice
towards one another we would ge'
along better,
1 attended the dramatic enter
talnment at Israel G. M. E. churcf
last Wednesday evening which wa
a grand success under the manage
ment of Mr.. L. A. Cornish and Mr.
IL. Rucker. These gentlemen neve
fail to please the public in any o.
their undertakings.

A PASTOR SURPRISED.
REV. GEO. W. COLE REMEMBERED

When the Rev. Geo. w. Cole,
pastor of the First Baptist Church,
ROsslYn, Va, returned home the
Wednesday before Xmas, he found
his table covered with many yalua-
BILE gifts such as turkeys, hams,
large sacks of flour, sugar, cans of
lard, coffee, tea, peas, corn, tOma-
toes, potatoes and most everything
in the way of eatables that a fami-
ly would require. This grand en-
terprise was worked up through
Miss E. NJ. Boston, the public
school teacher in that village and
j. 81. Plummer, the senior deacon
in his church. The members of
his church and the many friends
that contributed to this gift wer e
as follows: Miss E. NJ. Boston,
Mrs. K. Smith, Mrs. j. Plummer.
Mrs. NJ. Brown, Mrs. +. LOmax,
Mrs. L. Hamelett, Mrs. E. Ran.
som, Mrs. L. Ghalery, Miss Ella
Ghalery, Mrs. Burle5s, Miss f.
jackson, Mrs. Lovett, Mrs. Rogers,
Mrs. Russell, Mrs. j. Jackson, Mrs.
Taylor, Mrs. Jones, Miss A. Bay
Tor, Miss a. HarsSN@G Mrssauewfs,
Mrs. Harkum, Messrs. Jne. 81.
Plummer, Louis Smith, Henry
Wood, Tho. Brown, Terrell, J.
Rogers, r. Simmons, Lovett, JOS.
Burless, S. Lomax, A. Motley, Mrs.
Motley, Mr.. A. Jackson, Mrs, A.
Jackson. 1t is hoped as Miss E.
NJ. Boston has labOred so earnestly
for the church and for the ad.
vancement of the children outside
of her actural duties as teacher
that the parents Of these children
and the members of the First Bap-
fist church IN ROsslyn. Va, will
not forget her in their gifts.

can't see what some girls are made
OF. After the report that the COL
ored girls did not render as good
service as the white girls and the
dismissal of all the colOred help l
din'nt think that colored girl
would be caught behind their

very lady that informed me how
meanly she was treated while there

she has lost her wits or misre pre-

THE SHOWS HIS FANGS.

The wolf cannot conceal himself in
the sheep-skin that he has been wear
ing as disguise. His natural procllvi-
ties are too strong to be suppressed. Mr..
Dana, the editor of the n. Y. Sun, has
decided that the alleged force bill is to
be the issue of the campaign. He has said
this SO often that he really gives evidence
of believing it himself. He claims that
the republicans intend to pass bill
giving United States officials unusual
powers at elections. which he fears will
damage the Cleveland party. He real
ICES the fact that his party must lose if
We have honestly conducted elections.
He is sure that the republican party in
intends to pass what he calls force
bill, because that party defeated the
force bill in the Fifty-first Congress.
He goes to all this trouble to keep Jack
sonian democrats from boiling the
Cleveland ticket because it contains a
free trade plank. He knows that free
trade will defeat his party. and he has
fairly dragooned the leaders into an
Abandonment of the John G. Calhoun
issue.
