Mr.. Cheatham is to be compli-

is arranging his Office. The changes
that he has made thus far were
necessary and will no doubt be
beneficial to the office over which
he presides Mr.. Cheatham should
not stop until he has made an en-
ire change in the personal of his
office. The last vestage of the
Taylor regime should be removed,

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and, therefore, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

DEMAND RECOGNITION.
PRISON DISCRIMINATION HOW LONG
WILL 1T LAST,

WILL LAST.
For some time past leading colored
women of the city have been seeking
to have Colored woman installed as
a member of the board of trustees of
the Girls Reform School, Claiming
that as the school is now given over
entirely to the caring for the erring
colored girls of the District, it is but
right and proper that the colored popu-
lation should be represented on the
board.
A short time ago a committee of
ladies waited upon Attorney General
McKenna, asking him to make such an
appointment TO fill a vacancy which
will soon occur. The Attorney Gener-
al informed the ladies that he would
inquire into the laws and learn the ex-
tent of his authority. On Saturday a
committee consisting of Mrs. II. l..
Bailey and Miss Merritt, principal of
the Garnet School, called on the At
torney General and presented a petit
ion signed by 1000 colored women of
the city, asking for representation on
the board by the appointment of Mrs.
Helen A. Cook.
1t was set forth IN the petition that ::
eve are strongly convinced that if one
or two colored women, well-known In
the community for their useful life,
benevolent disposition, strong desire
to Smellorate the condition of all
classes of unfortunateS, influenced by
a proper sense of race pride and by
class sympathy, women whose upright
virtuous living furnishes a guarantee
of their disposition to have all do right,
were selected by you as trustees,
helpers in this great Christian work,
this Girls Reform School would grow
IN usefulness and become different
from what it is at presen'-a gloomy,
undeveloplng, penal pretext for reform
and Improvement"
1--WE feel it as a case of taxation
without representation, said Mrs.
Bailey yesterday. 1.-The board oftrus-
tees OF the Reform School is composed
entirely of white persons at the pres
ent time, and the teachers are white
also. The colored population of the
District are unanimous in thinking
that much better system could be in
augurated at the school if person OF
the same race as the inmates was
brought into contact with them. AT
present all the girls in the school are
associated together without regard to
the degrees of their offense or crime.
The totally bad and girls who have
erred but slightly are thrown together
without reserve. This evil we wish to
correct also.
Mrs. Cook is the wife of Mr.. John F.
Cook, one OF the most prominent men
of the city. She is in every way fitted
for the position on the board Of trus-
tees by virtue of the number of years
she has been associated with charitable
institutions in the city, and there is
not a dissenting voice among the col
ored population against her appoint.

WE NEED FORCE.

The recent VerdlcC OF Inc jury
in the Jones VS.. Brunhaus CIVIL
rights suit that was tried in the
upper branch of the Police Court,
teaches us a wholesome lesson. The
colOred people in this city are Pc
culiarly situated, more so than IN
anv other city of the United States,
east OF the Mason and Dixon's line.
In some of those states the negro is
a political factor and his vote is
sought after by parties OF differ
ent political compilations. He can
cause laws to be enacted that he
can not force in such states where
his vote, if cast, is not counted,
hence such laws that would guaran-
tee his political rights will not or
cannot be passed.
If it is the desire of our fellow
citizens, in the District of Colum-
bia to invade the domestic trans
guilty of the opposite race, some
thing other than forced legislation
must be resorted to.
How then shall we commend
ourselves to the Thoughtful consld-
Grafton and respect of those OF
the opposite race who possess all
this worlds goods?
First. We must possess that
which other people want.
Second. We must be able to do
what the white people can do.
When we are able To buy and sell,
supply our markets with such pro-
duce that will sustain life, we can
then command. If We possess
nothing, how can we expect to de-
prive other people of what they
have accumulated by industry and
perseverance? If we are learned In
law. and can command the respect
of our courts and judges, we Will
be sought after. Greater the pow
er any object is, the more 1t
will draw. We must show by con-
tact that we are equal to any emer'
gency. Not only in the art and
sciences, but in every branch OF
industry. If we are elected from
public or private inns of places OF
public amusement it is evident
that we do not possess that force OF
character and necessary require
ments which command respect
and the anxiety on the part OF
other people to possess.
We must be able to do what
other people do and possess that
which other Some
white people aye foolish enough
to believe that they are superior IN
flesh to his black sister and brother.
The same God who made the white
man made the black man, the red
or the yellow man. There may be
different ingredients in the body OF
these different notionalities, which,
perhaps, tend to create different
characteristics.
The refined negro is the equal
of the white man. Human beings
90 through the same polishing pro-
cess as some of the best marble that
grows.
A substance that is dug up in its
crude state is distasteful to our
ewes until it goes through the pol
ishing process. 1t will only be a
ouestion of time before the white
man sees his own folly. The same
mother who produced the white
man, produced the negro. Why
then should we worry?
The day for a just retribution is
fast approaching, and mother earth
from which we sprung is ready to
receive, the high and low, and
rich and poor.
