A DIFFERENCE.

Perhaps the colored editors
throughout the country can see,
to a great extent, that it is not al
ways the fault of the Southern
white people that colored men
are killed and lynched, or accus
ed of crimes committed. The
two, recent, murders in Mary
land of highly respectable white
citizens should be condemned
by the entire press of the coun
try. Indeed the white people of
that State, and the counties in
which these murders were com
mitted, have shown their good
sense by allowing the law to
take it's course. Had these crimes
been committed farther South,
Judge Lynch would have execut
ed the law without judge or jury.
The Bee is inclined to believe
that it is the brutal negro and
white element of the South that
commits these crimes. 1t is but
seldom that you hear of a highly
respectable colored citizen be
ing lynched for some outrage
committed on white or colored
ladies of the South; the white
people are learning to discrimin
ate between the brute and the re
fined element in the colored race.
There is a great deal that the
negro representatives can do in
reforming this element. There is
too much color line drawn, even
in the courts Of justice. Some
colored attorneys are of the opin
ion that a mau is prosecuted on
account of his color.

HUNGRY OFFICE SEEKERS

Will President Cleveland satisfy some
of the hungry Afro-American candidates
by giving them little recognition? They
are terribly hungry and are getting im-
patient-The Union,
1t is true that a number of color
ed men, calling themselves demo-
Gratis, are applicants for Office un-
der this administration. and their
efforts are no more persistent than
those exercised by white men, " ho
also, claim that they are demo
Gratis.
If certain colOred men have an
idea that there is as much for them
in the democratic party as there is
in the republican party, why can't
they have the same privilege of Sc
lecting their choice or exercising
such right as white men? Colored
men have the same right to apply
for positions under this administra-
tion as white men, especially when
they have supported the party in
power. The editors of the ''Ameri.
can Citizen" are office holders and
have depended on office for a liv.
ing, but they are not inclined 10
treat fairly colored men who say
they are democrats and are seeking
recognition from Mr.. Cleveland.
Colored editors as we'll as color
ed republicans must learn that this
is progressive age and men as
we'll as parties have changed since
reconstruction.

RACE LEADERSHIP.

With but few exceptions, race
leadership among the negroes is a
failure.
Subsequent to reconstruction or
q very few years after the emancl
patton of the negro, colored men
with but limited education aspired
to leadership; some Of them were
ornaments to society as we'll as val
liable acquisitions to the govern
ment. The higher some of them
got, the bigger fools they appeared
to be. Some got so high that they
have left their people and ar
rogated to themselves that they
were the government aud the peo
pie were serts.
a display of their own folly and
ignorance soon hurled them from
the topmost rounds of their, seem
ing, popularity and placed them
where they belonged. There were
two or three who did all in their
power to amelio ate the condition
of their people, but, they got no
credit, and would often receive a
buse and condemnation bcause they
could not turn the entire govern
ment over to the malcoDtents.
There is no man in this country
who is entitled to more respect and
consideration than the man who
was an honor to the race while sen
ator representing the State of Mis-
sissippi, Register of the Treasury
and now Recorder of Deeds. He is
a man of ability no one knows this
better than those who know him
best. While it is true, his enemies
are numerous, be has never been
one to do them an injury, although
he has had it in his power. No man
is n ore liberal to those in need and
no one is more ready TO give a help
ing hand to the down trOdden than
this distinguished representative OF
the negro.
No position that hehas ever held
has been too large for him; no dis
tinguished honor that has been con
terred upon him has been the cause
to affect him with the big head
which has been so characteristic OF
SO many of the representative oil
the race.
In a very short time, no doubt
this gentleman will retire from Of
fetal life, but not from active PAL
ticipation in public affairs, buslnes:
enterprises and the interests of his
lace.

CARDINAL MEZZOFANTl.
He Was Monster of Languages and a
Walking Polyglot.

He Was q Monster of Languages and
walking Polyglot.
Lord Byron said of Giuseppe Cas-
pardo Mezzofanti, who died in Rome
March Is, 1849, that he was monster
of languages, a Briareus of parts Of
speech and walking polyglot. The
description was just one. Even in
bis early youth Mezzofanti exhibited
!, his peculiar talent for mastering Ian
guages. He had an extraordinary
memory. and before he was of age had
acquired Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic,
Coptic, Spanish, French and Swedish.
At twenty three he was Professor of
Arabic at the University of Bologna.
AS chaplain of hospital in the same
city he made the acquaintance of all
the foreign patients there, and while
ministering to the wants Of the invalids
acquired their languages. In this way
he learned German, Hungarian. Bo-
hemian, Wallachian, Servian, Russian.
Polish and Croatian. Whenever strang-
ers arrived at the hotels he made their
acquaintance for the sole purpose of
studying the peculiarities of their
phraseology and pronunciation. Be-
coming chief keeper of the Vatican
Library in Rome his opportunities for
linguistic study were greatly increased,
and he made further additions to his
already immense vocabulary. He be
came proficient in Irish, Welsh, Lap
pish. Sanscrit, Persian, Georgian, Ar
menian and Chinese, and was so thor
oughly at home in the dialectical
varieties of the languages of Europe
that he could pass from one to the
other with the utmost ease. Though
Mezzofanti knew much he produced
little. He was the author Of but one
book, and that was of an unimportant
character.

SABBATH SCHOOLS OF TIE
DISTRICT.

In visiting the Sabbath Schools
of the District, Mr.. E. P. Clemens,
the musical director of the Sabbath
School Union, says, the schools of
color compare favorably with any
of the schools of any other race in
the District, and they need not be
ashamed to have any Sabbath
School worker visit them.
He seems to think that their sue.
cess is due, first, to the fact Of their
having good, scholarly gentlemen
for their Superintendents; second
ly, in having good, competent and
interesting instructors, as teachers.
Of course, these qualities cause
parents to be interested, hence the
reciprocity. AS to the musical part
of the program, it needs no enconi
um, for 1t is a we'll knowD fact that
the people Of color are the best
natural singers earth has ever been
blest with.
The noted musician, W. L. Gif-
fee, says of their original songs,
"the melody and sweetness with
which they sing them has never
been initiated by human hands,
save by the violin.'
In this connection, we can we'll
bring in a stanza from that famed
man, Charles Wesley, whose life is
known by all Methodist readers:
''Who has right like US to sing,
Us whom Ills mercy praises?
Merry our hearts, for Christ our
King,
Cheerful are all our voices"
While some of our schools have
in attendance their three and five
hundred, yet, there is plenty of
room, and the invitation or the
outer door OF each school, says:

PETER III. CLARK FILES HIS PAPERS
AND TAKES LEAVE

Since the Inauguration of PfesI
dent Cleveland the city has been
filed with Office seekers. Every
place under the government has
been demanded, but, the President
being such stern believer in civil
service reform, there has been but
a few changes made in the classl
fed service. The colOred contlng
ent of the democratic party will not
remain much longer in the city
the President, however, intimated
that he weuld not make any re
cess appointments as long as the ap
plicants renamed In the city.
There is great deal OF uneasl
ness among the colored democrats
who have been In the city since the
4th of March there is every rea
son to believe that Mr.. Cleveland
will recognize such colored demo

the colored people of this country.

out the debate has been characterized
by extravagant predictions and violent
threats on the part of the tories, while
both Gladstone and his followers have

An odd Form of Courtship.

Mr.. Mortimer Menpes, the artist, trav-
cling in the east in search of subjects, has
come upon a curious form of courtship.
Sketching one day in Burmah, he no
ticed a man little distance off glazing
fiercely straight ahead of him at some
object he could not see from his position
The man sat with the same fixed glare
the whole afternoon and was at it again
next morning. 1Mr. Menpes had the GU
riositv to ask an English visitor what it
meant. The reply was, ooh, he is in
lover And it was explained that this
was their method Of courtship.
The object of the mans attentive gaze
was a girl in aneighboring bazaar. When
a Young man falls in love, he has to seat
himself at certain distance from his
adored one and wait for her to do the
rest. If she looks i'll his direction once
or twice on the first or second day, he is
wildly encouraged, and if on the third
day she mods to him and smiles it is
time to 90 to the parents with reference
to the marriage settlements.-London

The FOX, the Badger and Rabbits.

The fox noses the rabbits out at times
and scratches them out. AS to the badger,
what could be more delicate for his very
accommodating appetite than tender
young rabbits? They put flesh onto his
ribs after his fast-often long and COM
pulsory one-in winter. So he digs for
them in the most businesslike manner,
Just like mole. He knows where they
are exactly-his nose tells him that-and
in less than two minutes the fore part of
him is buried. All you will see will be
his hind legs working vigorously and
lot of earth moving. But he gets his
rabbits. Hungry stomachs are hard to
reason with. The badger is, know, a.
a rule, nocturnal in his habits, so is a
fox; but where the places that they f&e-
quent are quiet and secluded they will at
times hunt by day for their food. A
vixen and her mate at times reverse the
order of things. Like humans, wood
land wild creatures are governed by cir
cumstances.

Dimcultx of Sailing a Boat.

Watched from the wharf, a sailboat
seems an easy sort of craft to manage.
The wind appears to do everything. The
casual guest of skilled skipper likewise
is apt to think that as his host takes
things so easy it cannot be so very diff
cult to handle a sailboat after all. He
regards the warning Of experience as
based on the jealousy of competition.
Let him who thinks sailing o science
which its followers try to represent as
hard to learn because they want to keep
it to themselves take trick at the helm
once.
It looks easy to keep the boat on her
course. Your friend who takes you out
sailing barely touches the tiller once in
awhile. Some day he asks you to sake
the tiller while he goes forward. He tells
you to keep that spire and that tall
chimney in line. You take the helm; you
do what you think you have seen him do.
The chimney and the steeple act asif they
were bewitched. They positively will
not come into line. You observe in a
knowing tone, ''She doesn't seem to
mind her helm" But she is minding her
helm, and pretty soon you find out what
jibing means.
Most of the fatalities Of summer sailing
are due to the errors of the man who
thinks sailing is easy, who is confident
that he knows all about it. La reality
many a sea captain who can handle big
ship without difficulty does not feel at
ease in command of sailboat. Boat
sailing is a course at the Naval academy
in which the cadets undergo arduous
training under the most skilled instruct
ors.-Boston Transcript.

In other words, thus far investments
have been largely made as a matter OF
experiment, prompted by the vision OF
mighty forests, fertile soil and signs Of

the possibility of exaggeration, and by

world. The coal resources tributary to
the Bay are no longer spoken of as in
the future, but with each days advent
are being more widely and fully devel-
oped and put upon the market. The
products of the farms and orchards ad-
jacent to the Bay no longer need the
