FORMALLY REPUD|A|EO
Local Afro.American League
Declares Itself
ACTION OF THE CONGRESS
Toward Trade Unions Meets With
General Condemnation
Resolutions Declaring the Sentiment Of the
Orzanizati by Unanimous Vote.
Political Notes

The Afro-American league met in
regular session at Panorama hail on last
evening, with r. f. Talbot in the chair.
The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and adopted, after which the
meeting was thrown open for business.
Rev. c. W. II. Nelson, chairman of the
delegation to the Afro-American con-
gress of the 11th inst, presented his re-
port, and the truth being so emphatical-
ly stated caused an enthusiastic discus
sion, which lasted till II o'clock. How
ever, the report was received and adopt
cd, after which a spirited discussion took
place about the recent actions of the
congress, when r. F. Douglas, young
Afro American, presented the following
preamble and resolutions:
We, the Afro Americans of Los An
yeles, do realize the serious results of
The Afro-American congress of the 18th
inst. in denouncing the federated trade
unions, causing many Afro Americans
in this city to have considerable trouble
in retaining their membership in the
union, and has worked hardships upon
negroes in this city, and will positive
ly result destructively to the race; and
taking into consideration the unpleas-
ant treatment the Afro-Americans in
this city are receiving from the unions
since the action of the congress. we do
feel that at this juncture a declaration
of sentiment is indeed necessary. and
for the protection of the Atro-Ameri-
cans Of this city; be it
Resolved, That the Afro-American
league of Los Angeles repudiates with
emphasis the snap judgment resolution
reported as expressive of the senti-
ments of the Afro Americans of this
city in convention assembled. and which
declared disapproval of and hostility to
the federated trade unions: be 1t further
Resolved. That we recognize our
friends and coworkers in the trade
unions who recognize us. and that we
lend them our hearty operation.
At the conclusion OF the reading of the
resolutions several who opposed it en-
deavored 10 perpetuate antagonistic
strife in order to defeat the resolutions,
but they were sustained by the intelli-
gent and we'll thinking members of the
race and were unanimously adopted.
The above resolution expresses the
sentiments of the intelligent and repre-
sentative colored citizens of this city ana
proves conclusively that the actions OF
the congress in that respect did not
meet with the appreciation of the repre-
sentative negroes of Los Angeles. The
actions of the league on last evening
prove that the old traitors are losing
prestige, and the civiliZing influence of
this enlightened age will teach them
that principle and integrity shall shape
the destiny and characterize the future
actions of the league.

WHAT THE PEOPLE EXPECT.

1t waes promised in the campaign; of
1894, that should n change occur in the
administration of the CITY government
immediate steps would be taken to bring
90 light the presumed rottenness and
frauds of the then existing and proceed
ing administrations. The people ex,
pected q prompt examination into the
truth Of the charges. Two years, how
ever, have almost passed away before
an effort has been made bv the present
officials TO turn on the light, or at least
an effort, hat the public had informa-
ton of, before the publication of Mr..
Goodridge's letter. in which he asserted
that Every month. brings additional
revelations of how the public funds
have been misapproprlated and m!sspent
in past years, and the half has not been
told"
The inference drawn from Mr.. Good
ridges letter is. that an examination has
been going on for a long time, and that
the developments every month has
brought forth proof of The misappro-
p~riation and ~misspending of the public
money-of wrong and frauds and
crimes. Why should not the public have
had some knowledge of these examina-
tions and developments before the eve
oaan election? The Virginian r~eiteratss
its assertion. that the public will look
with suspicion on the part of those in
power, in charging these frauds and
crimes and wrongs nova suspicion tina
the charges are made for the purpose
OF advancing selfish and political ends
unless there is definite and we'll SUBJ
stantiated evidence before the courts to
back the charges.
The. party in power was pledged to
the people to bring about a prompt in
v~estigation of the charges made in 1894.

important business in ihand-that of

Don't Loan Ont of Plumb.

Did you ever observe in your ramblcs about
The political scenes of the day
How often rcformers engender ~ doubt
BY their overpunctilious way?
Their censorship always reminds me of those
Who beneath my inspection have come.
Attempting to strike IA magnificent pose,
Have o'erdone 1t to lean out of plumb.
They lean too far back, and. in fact, become
bent,
Most foolish the posture they take,
And instead of expressing their upright intent
They lead you to fear they may break.
They wish you to feel that they're honest and
wise
And not at all crooked or dumb.
Yet there they will stand with their ey IS tc
the skies
And unconsciously lean out of plumb.
In trade or religion, in politics. too,
II our rectitude we would disclose,
Stand modestly forth to the popular view
And don't try to strut or to pose,
For Outlines our cngcrncss may be too great,
At least it has happened TO some.
And our efforts to tower in matters Of state
Dwarf all Chance ns We lean out of plumb.
