DIsIntegration of Parties Preceding the
Vote of the People.
A Berlin dispatch says: The last week
has brought to German politicians only
heariburnings and discord. The oII
parties have been further divided and
sub-divided; the safe constituencies have
been rendered more uncertain 10y the ap-
peals of rival candidates, who in former
elections have fought shoulder to shouI
der. But two parties have remained
mistaken by the epidemic unrest They
are the Conservatives and the Social
Democrats. The former seem to be
holding their own everywhere; the lat
ter hoping to profit from the Radical,
National Liberal, and Clerical miSfor
tunes, have already nominated 316 can
didates, and are prophesying that their
parliamentary representation will ba
doubled by the election on June Is. An
effort is again being made to patch upa
peace between the Emperor and Prince
Bismarck.

The latest report is that Hon.

York City, ex-minis,sr to Hay ii
will be appointed recorder of
deeds to succeed Hon. B. K. Bruce.
1t will be remembered that MIR
Thompson represented the United
States at Haytl and while there
he made an honorable record. o
the other hand the friends of
tx-minister g. Ii. J. Taylor claim
that if any colored man is appoint
ed he will be. So far rs in
dorsements are concerned Mr..
Taylor has a hogshead full.He is
indorsed by scme of the most
prominent democrats all over the
country.
Tie white district democrats
claim that they have assurances
that one of their members will be
appointed. There is still a feeling
of uneasiness among the colored
contingent of the democratic
party in the district.
The friends Of d.. Jerome r.
Riley have been confident that
their cl ieftian would be appointed

democrats think that their aft

From the Seattle Standard

From the Seattle Standard
The Negro journalists and the
politicians are becoming extremely
nervous over the extreme slowness
ofPresideut Cleveland IN appoint
ing any of them to Federal posi-
tlons, he has been in the white
house something over two months
and has not appointed Negro to
any position whatever. This
nervousness is driven to a higher
state of excitement too by the
sfjibers" and 'jeers" of the repubIi
cans, whom the Negro deserted fol
new found "prophet Cleveland. D
The Negro democrats are rent
in as many factions almost, as
there are men in the party, each
struggling to be leader AMI a boss,
hence, it is almost utterly impos :
ible to decide upon the proper
man to reward for services done,
for if the truth was known, the
most of them now asking posi-
tiens, were Harrison men before
election. But admitting that they
were all Cleveland men, who is
the man to be rewarded? is the
question.
From the PlaIudeslIer -.
The aching void of the Afro
American Democrats still remains
unappeased. They have not been
called by President Cleveland to
take theplaces of the Afro Ameri
can Republicans, whom his nigh
tlness has asked to resign. So
distressing has become the aching
void that these Democrats have
issued pronunciamento calling
upon the Republicans now in off
ice at Washington to resign and
give the president chance
10 appoint from their number,
men TO fill their positions.

LOUISE TO CLARA.
Dear Clara /:

This has been a very dis
agreeable spring. the girls have
not been able to do very much in
the display of their spring costumes.
l have been considering question
which has been Of interest to the
household, so much so that l am
compel to, at this time, ask the
household TO carefully consider it.
THE YOUNG LADIES
of tiils city have been mistaken ny
a class OF office imposters: who
have an idea that we have no de
cent girls in our community. ln
seems hat these men who m sde
this assertion have no standing 6
their own community nor are they
recognized by the best element OF
our society.
The several apartments are full
of bombAsts and would be Iepresen'
tatlve negroes, who endeavOr to i'm
pose upon our best society.
THE COLOR QUESTION
seems to b. gaining ground. The
blacks are opposed to the brights
aud the brights are looking with
suspicion ut the prejudiced aud
mischief making cl .ss. What can
be gained? What Can We hope for
when there is q division among
ourselves?
If We are guilty of so much dis.
elimination what Can we hope from
the Anglo Saxons? 1t is true there
are few colortd men, in this COM
munity, who have no respect for
themselves or the race to which
they ara identified. There is hon.
esty aud nobility among
OURSELVES,
which command the admiration of
the civilized world. 1t is true that
we all cannot be school teachers,
Gle, ks in departments, etc, but we
can be good wome en-, good wives and
fill other departments in life which
will be more honorable than to
place our hopes IN one half of these
men who come to this city and
depend on department j)b for a
living.
What would one halt of these
men do if they we're discharged
from the service OF Uncle Sam ?
Their am mbition has been blighted
aud their manhood returned to the
cradle of their childhood.
The life of department CLERK i,
miserable; he builds hopes like
castles In the air and At the

ened discharge. Every fop who
comes to this city imagines that
God has called him to become a
doctor, lawyer OF a minister. One
half of them who are now attempt
ing to take profession should be
in the corn field with a plow, hoe
or a spade in his hand. They have
no more Idea OF the Importance of
d profession than a donkey has of
