NEGROES iN rHE DISTRICT.
They Want the Suffrage Restored Because
They Charge Discrimination.


At the next session of congress mon
ster petition will be presented by Repre-
sentative Murray Of South Carolina, the
only colore man in either house, pray
ing for the restoration of the rights Of
political suffrage in the District of CO.
lumbia. 1t will be signed by MAORI
ty of the negroes of the District, headed
by Frederick Douglass and ex-senator
Bruce. This move grows out of the re-
fusal of the commissioners Of the Dis
trict to appoint colored man as one of
the members Of the board Of assessors
recently created by act of congress. The
colored men had an applicant in the
person of Daniel A. Murray, an assist
ant in the congressional library and a
member Of the board of trade. Frederick
Douglass especially interested himself in
behalf of Mr.. Murray, but the board re-
fused to appoint him. The colored peo-
pie made stubborn fight for the assess
orship, and now that that has been de-
MED them no offices are left, and they
propose to memorialize congress for the
restoration Of the right of suffrage in
the District
When the suffrage was in vogue in
the District the negroes were an impor-
tant factor in the government, and q
part of the patronage was accorded
them. There was negro assistant dis
trict attorney, tax registrar and a city
marshal, and other lucrative offices
were filled by them. But with abolition
of the right of suffrage they have been
cut off one by one until the assessorship
was the only place filed by negro.
Now even that has been taken away.
Frederick Douglass says that the gov
ernment of the District is an oligarchy,
and it is wonder to him that the peo-
pie have tolerated it as long as they
have. Under its present form Of gov
ernment he thinks it impossible for the
So, 900 colored people to get any civil
or political recognition. He says the
trend is now against the negro. but
that reaction will speedily set in.
The sentiments Of Mr.. Douglass are
Endorsed by other prominent colored
citizens of the District, who say that If
they are not successful in their move
they will at least let the world know
they feel keenly the discrimination on
account of color in the government Of
the District. The pastors Of all the 10.
cal churches are in favor Of the move
ment, and the petitions will be placed
at the several churches from Sunday to
Sunday for signatures. = Washington

SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUSTS.
Interesting Account of Some Of Their Do
ings During Their Late Visit.

Interesting Account Of Some OF Their Do
ings During Their Late Visit.
The II year locusts, about which the
newspapers printed so many articles
during the early part Of the summer,
have come and gone, but their united
labors have left quite an impress upon
the forest scenery. In many places about
New York the oaks and other trees ex-
hibit a great many broken branches, the
leaves of which have withered, and as
a consequence the woodland scenes show
in checkered spots late autumnal
brown.
In old times, before the advent of the
white man with his ak, no doubt this
periodical pruning Of the forest did not
do any harm, but in these later days,
when the locusts extend their attentions
to everything that has large enough
stem to contain their eggs-to the peach,
the pear and the apple trees, to the cur
rant and gooseberry bushes-his estimate
of their wide utility is lost in his consid-
GRAFTON of the orchard that has already
been pruned.
The eggs Of the loeusts were found
this summer in over 10 kinds Of trees,
bushes and herbaceous plants. Indeed
the females tried their ovipositors on
everything that came in their way, Of
ten apparently by way of experiment.
The distribution Of the locusts into
colonies was interesting. They occu-
pied by the million many hills and
patches of woodland that seemed to
differ in no respect from neighboring
tracts where they were not so numerous.
In one of these colonies ON Staten Island
the ground about the tree trunks was
30 covered by the pupa shells that il
was in places completely hidden, and
as the season wore on the dead locusts
had to be raked up, as they gave forth
an unpleasant odor. At dusk the sound
Of the many insects crawling from the
ground up the tree trunks was quite au-
dible-a constant tramping-and par
ticularly vigorous pupe sometimes as.
cended the trees to a height Of 80 feet.
The severe storm that prevailed in
the latter part of May killed and deform.
ed many loousts just then emerging
from the ground and also damaged the
young leaves on the easterly sides Of
exposed trees. In point of reputation
this storm also did the locusts harm, fol
| it was no uncommon matter to heal
them accused Of causing the withered
condition of the leaves, even before
they had commenced to lay any eggs.

who win Go to China.

The cashier Of the Second National
bank Of Altoona, Pa, has gone to Ja-
pan, carrying away heavy bale Of the
assets of that institution, possibly with
the intention Of helping out the island
people financially in their present crisis.
To make things even some other cashier
ought to run away to China with q like
amount to bolster up the fiscal system of
the pigtails. It would be hard on the
home depositor, but that type Of cashier
is superior to such narrow and local in
terests. The case presents variety Of
considerations, as the last one Of the
kind did and the next one will, but 1t
seems useless to enlarge upon them. -

Berger's knees, but Berger refused to
take it and resisted all their schemes
to get him to bet. Mr.. Berger says
