THE RECORDER OF DEEDS.

The BEE as the country knows
has been opposed to the present re
corder of deeds AM its OpPOSl-
tion to him has been based strictly
upon a question Of principle.
1t has avoided IN every way any
criticism that would tend to show
that he was being opposed on ac-
count of color or any attempt on
its part TO draw the color Iiae.
The BEE has also avoided in at
tempting to strike him below the
belt as every honest journal should
in its crlCicismS of paOllc men All
measures and demonstrate as far as
possible that public men aud
public measures should b3
discussed in fair and candid man
ner.
The Washington Times" and
a few other journals in this city
seem to have fallen into this error,
especially when these journals at
tempt TO prejndice the country by
saying that the recorder OF deeds
is attempting to force white young
ladies to associate with colored
one6.
This the BEE takes exceptions to be
cause it is an effort to place colored
young ladies upon an inferior ba-
sis. The white women in the re-
c0rd6rS office are no better than
the colored and if this is the kind
OF fight the white )urnalS intend
to make the BEE will be found on
the other side.
Is it any crime for white women
to associate with c0lored women? ?
This is a blow below the belt
and reflection on our colored la
dies and iT would make no differ
ence how wrong Taylor is the BEE
will not be party to such at
tacks if they tend to degrade the
colored ladies ln the recorders of
flee.
There is no attempt Oh the part
Of any one to compel white women
to associate with c0l0red women.
Will the Times say that the col.
Ored women are unfit to come in
contact with these pure aud uudul
terated Anglo SaXonS?
The BEE will have more to say
In its next issue.
The BEE also opposes the method
being resorted TO by certain white
men to foster this color liue fight.

way among them. The town where
the checks were to be cashed was ten

break the following morning large
crowd Of Indians had collected in
front of the bank, waiting to receive
their money At O'Clock the doors
Of the bank were opened and the In

checks and received and counted their
money. They would not take bills,
but demanded that they be paid in

the dealers took advantage of this
and reaped rich harvest. All day
long men could be seen trotting fast
horses up and down the street to at
tract the attention of the Indians,
who Immediately paid the price asked
by the owners if the animals pleased
their fancy. Wagons and farm imple-
ments were also in great demand.
One dealer told me afterwards that
he sold So, 600 worth of agricultural
implements that day. The squaws
also received portion of the money,
and they hurried to the stores, where
they bought bright-colored dress
goods, shoes, hats and sweetmeats for
their children. Some of the prices
paid were enormous One young
squaw paid SIS for pair of kid shoes,
$40 for black lace hat trimmed with
bright flowers and SO for chewing

MYSTERIES OF ONE BIKE.
A Brothers Wheel Used With Disas-
trous Results by TWO Sisters.

trous Results by Two Sisters.
There is New York family which
has country place in Westchester
county. In the family are two young
women who lin town, at any rate are
extremely dignified and extremely
conventional There is also a
brother, who became infatuated with
the idea that it would be good exer-
else for him to ride bicycle. On a
moonlight evening, when the brother
was not at home, the two sisters stole
quietly out to the barn and brought
forth the bicycle. They were arrayed
in strange and weird costumes which
they had improvised for the occasion.
They wheeled the machine" over to
the tennis court and then, for
the benefit of the sleepless
stars and the wide-awako moon,
gave an exhibition OF attempted
bicycle-riding which would make
the fortune of roof-garden manager.
The result OF that little performance,
not counting in the bicycle, may be
summarized rs follows: One wrecked
tennis net, two broken poles, twenty
five square yards of ruined turf,
crushed and broken shrubbery in large
quantities, one twisted ankle, one knee
sap bruised, two arms stiffened, and
seventeen separate and distinct black
and blue spots.
Its funny" say the girls, con-
fdentially, that n bicycle goes back
ward when you want it to go ahead,
and can run into two dozen things at
one time"
'What I can't understand" says
the brother to the whole family, us
how load of brick fell on my bicycle
when it was locked up in tn barn"
The girls have nothing to say to
this, and when their brother is in
their presence they heroically walk
without limping.
