THE ACROBAT.

The acrobatlc editor, High Chris
topher Columbus Astwood, had an
other one of his nervous fits last
week when be made another one OF
his personal and disappointed at

Freedmen's hospital, because he
failed to secure an appointment
there. This foreigner must be DO

or to keep his head in one direction,

other direction, the presumption /.
that he would 60 in the direction OF

ring ready TO take another tumble.

THE RACE MIsREPRESENTED.

The appointment of Q. ii. j. lay
ior to the Office of Recorder OF
Deeds, is a Misrepresentation, not
only of race, but negro Democrats,
if such thing exists as a negro
Democrat
Not a more flimsy set of negroes
could have been selected to m:srep-
resent negro democracy, than the
appointment of III. q. Smith, to
Santos Brazil, and @. III. j. Taylor,
Recorder OF Deeds. Tue President
certainly has been imposed upon
and the race mirrepresented.
1t is believed that the President
meant to do the right thing toward
that element known as negro Dem
ocrats. When AR. Cleveland was
president before, he selected a class
of men of representative charac'
ter and such men that reflected
credit on the race and negro Dem
ocracy.
If the President would remove
from office such men as Taylor, and
Smith, who are incapable Of repre-
seutiDg even themselves, and
appoint men who have the respect
and confidence Of the race, there
would be no cause of complaint.

AN ADDRESS TO THE LAW
GLASS OF HOWARD UNI

BY HON GEORGE F. HOAR, L.. l.. D.

Among other thin the Sena' Or said:
"The law school of Howard University
does we'll in celebrating at this COM
menceme1t season, the accession of
another band of chosen youth to the
honorable company Of lawyers. 1t is
fitting that some elder should welcome
them to the great brotherhood of the
profession, to share in it's historic glo-
/: ries, Its opportunities for labor, for in
tellectual and moral growth, for a noble
public service.
think few thoughtful. observers will
deny that the training of the American
lawyer is, Oh the whole, the best rain
ing which our Republic affords for
American public life There has been
no period in our history when the Amer
ican have needed, in the most difficult
circumstances, the best ca acity for
discussion, for adminis' ration, or for
leadership, that it has not turned in
stinctively TO its trained la gers, save
only hen the question was to be set
tied by the arbitrament of arms. Every
president of the United States, with the
exception of Washington, Taylor and
Grant, was educated for the bar.
When l address Il company of colored
youth who have dedicated themselves
to the law, assume that | am address
ing men who aspire to the service of
leadership in the great public questions
which specially concern the destiny of
the cOlored race in this country. Let
me advise you above all things to speak
to your countrymen the language not
of discOuragement,h hut of hope Above
all t'ings, speak the language of a lofty
and strenuous patriotism. Never for
get that you are American by title as
absolute as that of any other, though
the blood in his veins h scone down to
him from the men of Jamestown a d
Plymouth Rock. Love your country
and your country will love you Serve
your country and your country will
serve you. Do not overlook the diSad-
vantages under which the colored peo-
pie in his country labor. 1t is to be
he duty and the aspiration Of your life
to overcome them and to remove them.

of many races. l am not speaking of

contribution to that composite Unity
which we call national character; of
the neutal and moral qualities Of Sepa-

tribution to it. lie will bring traits

THE NEGRO PRESS.

Two-thirds of the negro editors of this
country are in favor Of pure and honest
men being appointed to office and if one
should be appointed and he proves his
unfitness, they do not hesitate TO say so.
Some of the men appointed by Mr..
Cleveland were not opposed because
they were Democrats, but because they
were corrupt and not morally tit to fill
the place to which they were appointed.
Whenever negro is opposed, the fist
thing he says is, he is opposed because
he is a colored man. How foolish is
this assertion in the face of undisputed
evidence. How soon they attempt to
fool the people and cry from the house
top, that his color is against him and
for that reason, he is opposed, condemn.
ed and abused. The BEE suggests a lit
tie patience on the part of the people
and see if they haven't human
monster among them in disguise:
a viper, libertine and shark that has fed
upon human flesh for nine months. 1t
is not the smiling man that appears to be
the most innocent; it is not the man
who has Joined church that is he most
religious. When the Duke of Gloster'S
ambition led him to aspire for the crown
of England, he stood between two cler-
gimen as an evidence of his piety and
morality. But where could greater
viper be found than that same Gloster.

H. PRICE WILLIAMS DEAD.

One of the most remarkable men,
and no doubt, one of the best nat
ured representatives. and indeed,
pioneers of the negro press of this
country, q. Price Williams, former
ly OF Philadelphia, Pa, died at
Tarry Pa, on last Monday
and was buried in Annapolis, M :,
on Thursday afternoon.
The resurrection of the now Afro
American Press Association is due
to Mr.. Williams. When it Was
I'ueyond redemption, Mr.. Williams,
at the suggestion of the BEE, called
the ASSOCIATION together to meet IN
Atlantic City about ten years ago,
at which time the late Rev. VIM. j.
Summons, was elected president.
Our friend, Mr.. Williams, may
have had his faults, but no one can
say that he Was false to a friend.
While in this city he was employed
On the National Republican, the
late MIR. Fox was the editor, after
which ne opened an employment
bureau and was quite successful in
his new field of labor
Mr.. Williams gained quite rep
utatlon while be was on the Phlla-
delpbia Mercury. Tie conducted a
cOlOred column in that paper en-
titled, 'sItems on the Wing" which
was quite sensational, but made
him the most popular negro writer
in this country at that time. The
name of Il. Price Williams, was On
the lips of almost everybody IN the
State of Pennsylvania. The negro
press loses one of it's most noted
journalistic characters and one of
It's most active members.
No matter what his mistakes
may have peen, let every man
speak of him as he was known. Say
nothing against him in malice, but
at his grave, whoever may pass it,
say rest in peace here Les IL, Price
Williams. Like all men he Was not
without a fault. He was good,
kind, noble and tried to be just.
He leaves mother, brother and
several sisters to mourn bis loss.

M MAGAZINES ARE COSTLY
THINGS.

Albert Lynch, the famous French
artist, who received the highest
Salon prize for his panel of
sSpring,' has been engaged by
the Ladies' Home Journal to draw
a series of designs for the cover of
that magazine, which, as the read
ing public knows. changes it's cover
designs each month. Lynch is,
perhaps, one Of the best paid artists
In France, and these covers will
cost the Ladies' Home Journal
nearly $1,000 apiec'. But this only
demonstrates theenormous expense
to which magazines are put in the
production of the rumbers.-R. Fl.
Stoddard, in New York Mali and
Express.

and those associated with him could
not induce Mr.. Cleveland to nominate
you as chaplain in the Army, and if
they did the Senate would not confirm
you. l was not long in discovering
that you were man | could not I'M
press and one with whom | could have
no pleasant or profitable relations and
quietly dropped you, and what little
connection | had with your paper,
which was MT as l have already stated
of my seeking and prior to your attack
on me, had not spoken harshly OF you
to any one The hardest thing l recall
having said Of you was that you were a
combination of jealousy, of inordinate
ambition, of indecision of character, of
impracticable ideas, and Of boundless
conceit.
as for Congress appointing commit
tee to investigate the matter OF your
reference in your lectures OH San Do
mingo to the existence of lottery
company in that Republic, that is Il
question for the District Attorney and
the Grand Jury to look after aud not for
Congress- Knowing this, could not
have done such foolish thing as to
suggest an investigation by commit
tee of that body, although am accused
by you of having done SO.
1t seems the editor Of 1.-The leading
ioulna OF the negro race, ," and especial
ly the man who considers himself the
equal of Saint Paul ought to have
known so simple thing as this.
I am really sorry for you, and as an
evidence of my sincerely, [ am going to
YOU, which if taken advantage of now,
will surely ''lead TO fortune" !" The best
course for you to pursue is to return t.
the ministry. 1t was in that field that
Paul achieved greatness. Your serv-
ices in behalf of the salvation OF human
souls will be adequately appreciated, if
not man, certainly by the Master.

White. CoIored. Total.

Observe the great increase, 167 in 1885,
407 in 1892. Of these twenty-five hun
dred unfortunate girls. all except So,
were colored girls. The superficial OBJ
server might suppose that this proves
that the colored girls are more prone to
crime than their white sisters, but in
fact it simply indicates that they are
poorer and therefore less able to defend
themselves, and that the efforts OF the
several institutions working for the ref
ormation Of white girls have had effect.
Until the reform school for girls was
opened in November, 1893, there was
no place in the District for the colOred
girl criminals, except the workhouse
and jail, attneither place could an effort
at reformation be made. On the con-
trary The poor victims were compelled
to associate with felons of every grade
and came out worse than when they
vent in. It is not to be wondered a.
that mo-; e than thousand girls are an
nually arrested in this District, OF
what benefit are our fine public schools,
if these moral !eapearS are allowed to
be at large to corrupt our children and
fill our hospitals and jails.
The girls reform school only has ac-
eommodations for twenty-eight girls,
by putting two in some of the larger
cells and five in the sick room, thirty
five are accommodated and it is full to
overfowng all the time.
The trustees and the Attorney-Gen-
eral have asked for $50 600 to build an
addition which will accommodate 80
girls, making the total capacity Of the
school 1lS. The Commissioners recon-
mended that .$2S,000 be appropriated,
but the House Committee gave nothing
and unless the Senate amends the bill
there will be not increase of aecommo-
dations before 1898.
Every colored man and woman in the
District ought to make it their business
to see some Senator and beg him to see
to it, that the s5O,000 is appropriated.
The girls will be arrested and sent to
the Workhouse or Jail anyhow, and it is
just as cheap to take care Of them where
an effort can be made to reform them
as it is to send them to the workhouse
or jail.
