IHE REASON WHY AN IMMEDIATE
REMOVAL IS NECESSARY, JOHNSON
UNPOPULAR

REMOVAL IS NECESSARY, JOHNSON
UNPOPULAR.
Why the President is allowing
Claud M. Johnson, the present Chief
of the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing to remain in office, is what the re-
publican party leaders cannot under
stand. The fact that Johnson was
anxious to remain is the reason why
Carlise had Mr.. Cleveland to include
that office in the list of his national
civil service order. 1t has been
shown that the civil service law has
been violated by the removal Of over
fifty young colored ladies who had
passed the civil service examination.
The colored voters throughout the
country had concluded that Secretary
Gage would have made a change in
that department long ago. THE BEE
has no doubt that a change will be
made soon. Indeed the Colored peo-
pie are getting restless as to the man
ner in which their friends were treated
by the chief of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing. His resignation
would be acceptable at any time.

WHAT ISAW AND HEARD.

There is trouble in camp. The
politicians have been working like
Turks the past two weeks. Ihere
is a combination on foot that has
endeavored to move heaven and
earth. 1t was evident that this
entire combination found their
opponent strong. 1t was the com
bination of the entire north, south,
east and west against one man.
The Anacostla post Office is to
be invaded by colored applicant
in the person of Henry Johnson
formerly comparer of deeds in the
recorders office. There has COM
menced big fight against John
sons appointment. There may be
hundreds of reasons why johnson
should not be appointed. THE
BEE will no doubt have It's inning
now.
The Louisiana politicians have
decided to let their own fight alone
and attend to that in some other
state. 1t is not known where 1t
will end. They want something new.
Editor John G. Dancy, of North
Carolina, who was in the city a few
days ago, has returned home. he
will be nominated for collector IN
a few weeks.
President Mckinley is not at ali
disturbed over what the politicians
may say about him. He is deter
mined to see that the tariff bill
passes Congress before he satisfies
the officials thurst of Congressman
1t is the general belief that oul
representative men will have to &C
aboard. 1t is the policy Of the
present administration to see thai
young men are appointed to office
The general complaint is thai
republicans are indorsing more
democrats for offices than they
are republicans.
The so-called Virginia republl-
cans associciation of which Mr.
F. d. Lee is President, is doing
nothing but asking for the reten'
ton Of negro democrats. The in
dosement by this association is be-
coming obnoxious to the re-
pubiicans IN Office.
There is a strong fight being
made for the appointment of a
prominent republican to succeed
Mr.. Harry Davis. Mr.. Davis will
be removed some time in July
without doubt. Among some Of
the good republicans who are being
urged are Messrs. G. M. Smith,
L. L. Jeffords and one or two
Others. Either man would be ac-
ceptable to the people. Mr.. Smith
is a thoro ugh republican and
would no doubt make good pros
ecuting officer.
The Secretary Of the Interior has
said that he will make no change
at the Freedmen's hospital as long
as the civil service is in oper-
alton. DR.. Curtis, of Chicago can
rest a while.
Mr.. Edward H. Deas of South
Carolina is so busy now until he is
compelled to rent a private office tC
answer his mail and TO meet his
South Carolina friends.
Gen'l Bobert Smalls of Soutf
Carolina is in the city He wants
to be chief of the soldiers record
division. commissioner Clay Ev
ans has informed him that the civi
service is in the way. There art
others that the civil service will
not touch Mr.. Evans.

passage of the tariff bill. Grea
things are exspected when tha
bill passes.

For number of years, the citizen
have complained that there is discrimi
nation against their sons and daughters
by some one person or persons who
conduct the Normal School eXamin-
tions. The pupils who leave the High
School stand high in their examina-
tions, but, the moment they enter the
examination for admission to the Nor
NAL School, something happens before
they are admitted. The examination
to the Normal School is not as hard as
the High School examination. The re-
cent examination of pupils to the Nor
NAL School kas set af1oat all kinds of
rumors of favoritism. No doubt some
of the rumors are we'll founded, Some
of the brightest pupils from the High
School have been turned down or failed
to pass the Normal School examina-
ton, and some of the dullest have
passed. 1t is charged that there is
a leak somewhere and the High and
Normal School Committee will be call
ed upon to investigate the charges,
For sometime The BEE has pointed
out the importance of change in the

908 Broadway, Feb. 25.
The Y. NJ. G. A. entered upon its nine
teenth year OF life to-day.
At the annual meeting DR.. Munhall, the
evangelist, made the address. Some of his
opening sentences are still interesting his
hearers and his remarks about the position
of the churches in relation to one another
and to the Y. NJ. c. A. were somewhat
original.
"We get an idea," said he, 'that our
church is the church. Your church
is the church OF man, not the church
of Christ. All these ORGANIZATIONS, the
Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Congre-
gational, Episcopal and Lutheran church
came into existence by the operation Of
law-by the demand of the times. In the
urgency of the hour new organizations
grew out of the old. Not one of them was
the church, else all the others were moth
ing. Each church is accom- plishing a work
which all tho others cannot do, and that
is sufficient reason for their existence.
at is much more economical a thou
sand times over to convert young man
than TO hang him. One of every six of
your population Is young man between
the ages OF IA and 32 With The best judg-
ment possible we are forced 10 conclude
ludL nOt more tQtu 30 p6I CENT OF LQdL
number, which in Oakland would amount
to 10000, ever darkens the doorway of
church. Not 10 per cent of this class
habitually attend the services and not
more than per cent are Chris
tians. This class is more vicious than
any other in society, for statistics reveal
that rs per cent OF the criminal popula-
tion are the young men between the ages
/ have mentioned.
''In my opinion, he who saves the
young man does the greatest thing on
EARTH and the best way to do it is 10 help
along Young Mems Christian Associa-
tione."
The address closed with an earnest ap-
peal to the audience to contribute for the
purpose of defrsying the current expenses
OF the year and paving off tile interest on
the mortgage of $25, 900 and canceling the
floating debt.
President D. Edward Collins made re-
port which SHOWS that the association is
on a substantial footing, and he urred
upon those present the necessity OF induc-
