federal government and the com.
memoration Of the day wheu
this bill of freedom was placed mp
on the statlte books may we'll be
remembered to the latest genera
in.
There would seem to be no &C
cep table reason why the first OF
January should be unheeded by the
colored people of the District
and many reasons can be Civ
en- why the da, should be commem
Grated here with appropriate cere'
monies. The present cOlored pop.
ulallOn of the District of Columbia
embraces large portion of former
Inhabltant of Southern States who
reckon their emancipation or that
of their ancestors from the first day
of January 1868 when Abraham
Lincoln's euict OF Emancipa-
of n brought about the year
of the jubilee to the enslaved
masses throughout the country.
The custom of eel. brating this day
prevails everywhere in the United
States, except in the District,
among the colored people who take
any notice of our freedom from
bondage and residents of the Dis
trict who is not affected by the
Act of April l6, 1872 are justified
In their wishes to take proper cog
nlzance of the first Of January as
the day OF the emancipation of the
race on the continent. Besides
the day is appointed as national
holiday and 1t observance would
not interfere with the daley occu>
patton of the people and even if
street parades were discounten-
anc d assembling OF the people in
their churches and public halls to
do honor and perpetuate the 70
mem brance of their national re.
,iemptlon would be- sufficient to
invoke the appreciation of all true
Americans.
The monument of statuary in
Llncoln Park unveiled by General
Grant aud dedicated by Frederick
Douglass in his admirable ora

of the Emancipation Proclamation

New York Expects Cholera.

The health authorities of New York
are getting ready for the expected ap-
pearance of cholera in the city. That it
is expected, there is now no doubt

Health, has said privately to some of his
friends that the board expects to hear
of sporadic cases as soon as warm
weather comes. DR.. Cyrus Edison, Just

that he shall have something of battle
with it. but he does not think cholera will
become epidemic in the United States.
Active measures are in progress to clean
the city, and all incoming steamships
are to be rigidly examined.

NEW MINISTRY THE CRY.

Cabinet Officers.

Cabinet Officers.
Discussion of the Cabinet crisis in
Paris reveals preponderating sentiment
in favor of an entirely new Ministry.
Most. of the newspapers concur in de-
manding that the Ministry be composed
of new men. The refusal of the Cham
ber to grant NJ. Tirard supplies for more
than month is regarded as clear proof
that the Chamber desires dissolution to
be deferred until after the budget has
been voted. In the usual course of
events, the general election would not
be held until September.
