OUR DELEGATES.

There is more talk among the
District of Columbia politicians as
to the election of delegates than
among any other class of men in
this country. 1t requires more to
elect delegates from this city than
any state or states in the Union,
although this city is not a state,
but a public reservation,
1t is disgusting to see standing
on the street corners men of all
grades and classes Disgusting Dis
trict polite.
Let us see now the claims of the
several candidates who are anxious
to go and what they eau do, if they
should be selected. The people of
this city want the right of suffrage.
The question heretofore has been
that the opposers of suffrage claim
that ignorance rules the city. Is it
not so? The fault has been with
the Republican National Commit
tee in recognizing men who have
not been elected as delegates from
this city. Here are few men who
have put in their claim for dele.
gate honors.
Col. NJ. M. Parker, Messrs. L.
M. Saunders, P. H. Carson, An
drew Gleason, G. E. Quincy, R. 81.
Key, Aaron Bradshaw, Otlett Dan.
lei Marray, DR.. G. B. Purvis, and
numerous others whose names are
not'known to the public.
AS matter of fact Mr.. Carson
cannot be elected this time and he
had better take the friendly advice
of the BEE and retire with the
few laurels that he has worn for
himself in years gone by.
The BEE will admit that Mr..
Carson and others have kept the
republican party alive in this city.
In this the BEE will come in for
it's share.
Can Key represent the republi-
cans of this city better than Carson ?
!, 1t Mr.. Quincy is elected what will
he be able to do?
Suppose you select l.. NJ. saun-
ders? He is man who will carry
great weight in the convention.
Andrew Gleason is a man of
great judgment and knows Just
what he is doing. 1t was Gleason
who made all the successful fights
for Carson in the convention.
Gleason is the man who does all
the work and brings his contest to
a successful issue.
This time Mr.. Carson has de-
serted and denounced the man who
made him. Those men who sup.
ported Carson in years gone by have
all deserted him with but two ex-

THE SITUATION IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.


The now going-on consummatior

dies in South Carolina on political
rights and privileges of the fast
rising portion of the negro race in
that cut-throat State should imme-
diately excite the apprehension of
the patriotic, and especially the
statesmen, of this country. The
proposed wholesale disfranchise-
ment of and denial of privilege of
holding Office to negroes, a scheme
contemplating a political condition
out of harmony with and subversive
of modern enlightened government,
will be far-reaching in its present
consequences and inevitably pro-
ductive of political and social dis
order in the future.
The negro race in this country is
rising rapidly. With but thirty
years of opportunity, the negro in
education is nearly the equal of the
white man, fact forcibly demon
strated by the hostility of the Till
man gangs to the &c Mississippi
plan,' on the ground that with
only an educational qualification
for suffrage the negroes will domi-
nate the State in five years. Spite
of SANDER and villifcation of press
and platform, the American people
are beginning to feel the rise of the
darker race in intelligence, social
elevation, and business enterprises.
The young negroes of this genera
ton constitute all ADLER and more
progressive people than the slaves,
and in spots they are exciting jeal-
ousy and apprehension.
In the course Of the next twenty
five years negroes will hold large
property and business interests, and
in almost every respect be equals OF
whites in culture and ability for all
kinds of work. The creation of q
dominating class of white office.
holders to the exclusion of negro
ofice-holders, the former to control
all the executive functions of State
and local government, will place
practically unlimited power certain
to be used in the hands of the pref.
udiced whites to prosecute and t.
prey upon the wealth and happiness
of the well-to-do negro citizens
No one can doubt for an instant OF
fail to see that the success of this
movement will result in persecu.
tions of wealthy and intelligent ne.
groes, and property-owning negroes
especially. The theory that fac.
tionaI appeals for and buying of the
negro vote will protect the negro
even better than he is now protect
ed, is an absurdity that needs no
comment other than silent con-
tempt. A subject people who are
without representation will be a
heavily-taxed people and the vic
Tins of every measure Of fraud and
persecution, especially if they are
wealthy.
How far will such a movement
extend? The desire to prevent
negroes from holding office and
from having their own chosen
representatives in legislature func-
tions is common to white office
holder and white voters the whole
over.
1t is a fact of no inconsiderable
significance that in the next Con-
.rrass of this ennntrv com nnsaa of

Supreme Council.

Address of President Traynor to the
Supreme Council.
The ANNUAL address of President Traynor
of the supreme council of the A P. A.,
yesterday, at Milwaukee, outlined the aims
of the order, and was exhaustive. 1t con-
tanned over 10000 words, and covered about
all the features of national affairs, politics.
education, religious tyranny and liberty,
and all matters pertaining to the organiza-
ton of which he has been the head two
years, and which is being rapidly extended
to all civilized and constitutionally govern
ed countries.
The speaker devoted considerable atten-
ton to the condition of affairs. at the ma
tiopal capital He regarded Washington as
the greatest hotbed of political corruption
of JeSutiSm in this country. During ses-
sons of Congress, he said, the city actually
Swarmed with unscrupulous politicians,
mainly of the Jesuit stripe, who constantly
bounded members of Congress and all gov
ernment officials actually bulldozing them
many times into doing their bidding, when
persuasion and purchase were impossible
He strongly advocated the establishing of
rational headquarters of the organization
in this city.
Mr.. Traynor advocated the taxation of all
church property, and the absolute Separa-
ton of church and state.
He opposed the prison contract labor sys-
tenn in strong terms, and regarded it as one
of the greatest outrages of the present day
against free and honest labor. Concluding
Mr.. 'Traynor declared the A P. A. favors
organized labor, aided, not hampered, by
government, and the extension of the bal
lot in local. state and national elections to
women.

RELICS OF WASHINGTON.
Good PRIZES Obtained Mt Auction in
Philadelphia.

Some Washington relics were sold at auc-
tion in Philadelphia yesterday, and the
prices obtained showed that Washington's
autograph is highly priced by collectors.
Some exceedingly interesting curios were
sold but two volumes from the library of
George w Washington attracted the greatest
curiosity. These two volumes were sold
for sS2o each. The books contain copies of
the official letters written by Washington
to the American Congress during the revo-
lutionary war. They were selected as the
gems of Washington's library, which was
sold in Philadelphia in 1876, and Washing
ton seems to have taken special pains in
writing his name in each volume, as the
signatures are said to be the best speci-
mems ever seen Washington placed his
autograph on the title page Of each volume
and his book plate in the first volume.
Another book from Washington's library
THE Poems of Ossian, the Son of Fingal,"
was sold for s9i. 1t has also the autograph
of Washington on the first page of the
preface.
Some china ware presented to George
Washington attracted the attention of bid
ders. A Cincinnati Nankin china dinner
plate, decorated with gold bands and a blue
margin at the loyal factory at Sevres, with
the insignia Of the Society of the Cincin-
natl, brought $780, This is piece of a set
presented to General Washington by the
French officers of the society. Auctioneer
Henkels also offered for sale a magnificent
collection of five pieces of china ware pre-
sented to General Washington by French
officers of tie society. The auctioneer said
that they had been sold previously for
81 200. They were bought in for 5000.
Washingtons letter to his housekeeper on.
his return from his bridal tour brought
s125. Another Washington letter written
at Valley Forge on June g. ITS, was sold
to ]. F. Sabn for $50, and the same person
secured John Barry's commission in the
revolutionary navy for $50.
A beautiful specimen of a survey made
by George Washington when he was only
twenty years old was sold for $50.

GORDON SET FREE.
The Court PrOnOunces His Act
Warning to Adulterers.

Judge Thompson, after listening to argu-
ments for four hours in the Gordon-Brown
murder case at Louisville yesterday after
noon, decided that Fulton Gordon should
not be held for trial, and discharged him.
Judge Thompson, after the closing argu-
nent, said:
Il have listened to the case carefully and
have consulted the authorities. 1t is my
deliberate judgment that this man is not
cnly not guilty in law, but his acton will
teach adulterers that when they ply their
refarious calling they are standing upon
precipice from which they are in danger of
being dashed at any moment. The prisoner
is discharged"
People jumped upon chairs, the bar, and
even on the steps of the judges bench, and
broke into cheers. Hundreds waved their
hats in the air, and the attorneys for the
defense almost had their hands wrung of
by the enthusiastic multitude.
Inc defendant was not present in court,
haVlng been excused by the prosecution,
Enthusiastic friends jumped into cab and
rode to the residence of Dr. Gavin Fulton
to convey the cheerful news. Gordon waa
overcome with emotion.

A Sunday School Entertainment,

The entertainment given by the children
CT st. Patrick's Sunday school last night

cess. The hall was comfortably filled with
an appreciative and enthusiastic audience,
The al plause the little ones received was
well de: erved, for they displayed talent and
&oiIlty, and reflected great credit upon
ReV. J +. Magee, superintendent of the

poth been energetic in their training The

Miss Agnes Murphy, followed by Gounod q
Ave Maria" beautifully sung by Master
Willie Regan, in cassock and surplice. and
accompanied by Miss Clara Ross on the
harp and Miss Pauline Eiseman on the vio-
lin. Master Guy Hopp, the boy cornetist,
gave solo, and the minstrel song by Mas
ters Hall Lusk, Nico Hill and Willie Reean
was loudly applauded, after which little
carrie MciIll was heard in the "Telephone

Why Japan Gave Up Port Arthur.

The Berlin Tageblatts st. Petersburg cor
respondent says:
Until last Sunday it was believed here
that Japan would not yield Port Arthur.
The government had ordered mobilization
of 10000 troops in the districts of Irkutsk
and Tomsk. Seventy officers started from
the capital to superintend the operation
ana l4o more Were preparing to follow
them. An initial credit of 20,oO0,000 roubles
was ordered to cover the operation. II waS
In view of this that Japan yielded. Thd
ezar on the following day, at the review,
informed the war minister that the mobil.
izauon need not be effected. 1t is stated
that Russia will keep henceforth a larger
force in East Asia, increasing the AmuI
troops to 100000"

MRS. sTANEoRD's DEMURRER.
Her Reasons why THE Governments
Claim is Not Good

d
Claim is Not Good.
Mrs. Jane L. Stanford, has filed in the
United States circuit court at San Fran
cisco a demurrer to the suit brought by
the government against the Stanford es-
tate to recover s15,O00,0O0 advanced by the
United States for the construction of the
Central Pacific railroad The demurrer
sets forth that the only obligation or liza
b!lity ever created by the government in
favor of the United States against the
Central Pacific and Western Pacific roads
was on the bonds guaranteed by the gov
Ell nment, which. it is claimed, do not con-
stitute a debt against either of the com
panies or right to demand payment from
them because of the bonds failing of re-
demption.
The demurrer continues that the only re-
lief open to the government is the con-
fiscation of the corporation. 1t is further
contended no valid claim was ever pre-
sented to Leland Stanford during his life
or to his widow since his death. This, it
is claimed, vitiates any claim the United
States government might have had.
