Sherlock Swami.

Hon. Sherlock Swami is widely
known throughout the city of Bal
timore and State of Maryland.
He is a. man who has not risen to
his present position by any sudden
combination of circumstances, bnt,
on the contrary, has now a high
place in the estimation of his fell
low citizens by steady exemplifi-
cation of those traits of character
which never fails to make deep
impression. Mr.. Swami was at the
recent election elected to represent
the 9th Ward in the First Branch
of the City Council Although .
Democrat, he is man who works
along advanced lines. His popu-
larity may be judged by the fact
that while his ward gave Mckinley
majority of 900, he was elected
by a majority of 800. He is inter
ested in whatever relates to the ad
yancement of the colored people
and there are hundreds in his ware
who are personally devoted to him
He was q member of Governor
Browns staff. He ranks high il
social life and is a membsr of sew
eral of the leading social clubs o
this CITY.

bold enough to uncover the infamy
of the men who are engaged in it,
We say let them come.
The gentleman nominated was
not the particular choice of The
Race-Standard, but he is an Afro
American. We have received but
little recognition, and that little
comes from one source. We are
growing tired of being knocked
down at the other end, who gives
us nothing. The Race-Sta adard
will stand for the race first, last
and all the time, and will be heard
from all along the line from now
down to the November election day.
As the representative Afro-Amer-
lean journal of Maryland, we speak
to those who are to-day in the City
Council by reason of our loyalty to
them and who are supposed to pro-
tect our interests We say, Beware!
The defeat Of the Afro-American
nominated by Mayor Hooper means
the defeat of those who vote against
his confirmation whenever they
shall again come before the people
asking for their votes.

rHg WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Senate WIN Finish tho Appropriation
Bills rhis Week.


Washington, April 19.-Tha senate
WIN conclude it's consideration of the
appropriation bills this week The In
dian bin will pass today and the sun
dry civil and agricultural viii follow
in the order named. There is no ex-
pectation that there win be any pro-
longed debate upon any of the bills.
There viii be an effort to amend the
sundry civil bill by the addition Of
provision for the regulation of the
forest reservations. This may lead to
some discussion, but the friends of the
amendment do not anticipate much
trouble in having the amendment
agreed to.
Senator Davis has announced his
purpose to press the arbitration treaty
to final action at as early a date as
possible. He expects to have little
difficulty in securing an agreement for
a date, but some of the objecting sena-
tors intimate that there still may be
opposition. The matter of pairs has
been definitely arranged on the basis
Of two votes for the treaty to one
against it. 1t is not believed that a
great deal Of time will be given to the
degree of Mr.. Davis success in se-
curing an agreement for date for a
vote.
The bankruptcy bill will continue
to hold its place on the calendar as
the unfinished business, but it probably
will not be seriously pressed. Senator
Morgan has announced his intention
to insist daily upon the consideration
of his Cuban resolution during the
morning hour, but he will not block
other business with it.
The house this week will continue
the program of three day adjournments
unless the Indian appropriation bill is
returned from the senate when the
house meets on Wednesday. The COM
phcations arising out of the situation
in eastern Europe possibly may figure
in the proceedings of both houses the
latter part of the week

Inc LBlIBn season.
The close of the Lenten season brought a
harvest for the Justices of the Peace. Many
people of the foreign classes who had

relief from great restraint and started in to
celebrate Easter by indulgence in intoxicants.
As a result many landed in the hands of the
police.
Justice Cardin had five cases yesterday.
They we're all based on charges of simple
assault and battery, except that in which Joe
Sabolski, who was held for carrying a re-
volver, in addition to a charge of assault and
battery made by Matt. Taris.
There were six cases in Justice Lawlor's
court yesterday and more are on the calendar
John Schlotnik was arrested for breaking the
hat of Michael Schultz. He settled by pay
ing damages and costs.
Joseph Miller got drunk and broke open
the door Of Joe Paulokonis' house, on North
White street. When Constable Matt Giblon
went to make the arrest Peter Tamaenis in
terfered and was arrested with Miller, and
both We're bailed for trial at court The rest
of the cases were based on simple charges of
assault and battery, including one against
Anthony Sobaloski who was arrested on
complaint of his wife. He was put under
$500 bail
