THE PROPER MAN.

Hon. James r. Boyd, of North
Cartlinia, assistant attorney gen.
eral, is fayorably mentioned as a
successor to Attorney General Nc
Kenna, who is slated to 60 on the
Supreme bench. vice Justice Field,
who is to be retired in d Gem Der.
Hon. j. \. Boyd is well equipped
to fill the position as attorney gen.
eral, and the southern republicans
are a unit for him.
President Mckinley would give
additional recognition and encour-
agement to the national repu oil
can party In the south by accede-
ing to the wishes and just claims
of the party in the south, which is
solidly ir favor of Mr.. Boyd's sp.
polntment as attorney general.

NOT SATISFIED.

There seems TO be a great deal
of dissatisfaction as to the methods
that were adopted in the recent ex-
animation for musical director.
Mr.. Morsell one of the committee
knows nothing about school music
and while Mr.. Xander is a fine
gentleman, it is the opinion of
many that some of his questions
might have been left unasked. AS
to Miss Wilson, The BEE will not
say at this time, all it knows as
to her interest in one of the candi-
dates. There will undoubtedly be
a big howl after the committee re-
ports. The examination was far
from being practical.
The Washington bee., 1897-11-20
THE EXAMINATION NOT
PRACTICAL.

From what The BEE could
ascertain about the recent examina-
tion for musical director it was not
at all practical one. Notwith-
standing it Is presumed that Prof.
Layton stood a higher examination
than Mrs. Alice Strange Davis
and, if what is reported be true,
some one will be called upon to ex-
plain.
There was too much interest
manifested by some one in author
ity in one of the candidates. Ii
was also prevalent that suggestions
made to others were not in good
faith.
1t is quite evident that explana
tions will he in order. ano the
charge that young Cook has made
will cause greater explanations if,
what is attempted, is carried in;o
effect.

MRS. TERRELL SUED.

The suit brought against Mrs.
Mary Church Terrell is to be regret
ted. The BEE is more inclined to
believe that the lady trustee has
been imposed upon, and mislead to
do things that will cause her great
EN- barrass ment.
The charge she made ag 'inst
Mr. Cook was unnecessary. If
Mrs. Terrell had candidate for
musical director she could have
supported him without a brass
band procession. There is but one
thing for the Commissioners to do,
and that is retire Mrs. Terrell from
the board of school trustees.
A lady, who was admitted by all,
at one time, has by her own acts
caused herself to become unpopular
among the masses. The BEE
would advise the lady, if she will
accept The BEES advice, to COM
promise this suit.

IN COURT.

The death of the late John M. Lang
ston was formally called to the atten-
ton of Judge Scott Tuesday morning
in the Police Court, by w. Calvin
Chase. A few days ago, said MIR.
Chase, the members of the bar were
called upon to take action on the death
of Judge Miller. Today the speaker
had to call attention to the demise OF
a friend and benefactor, and a most
distinguished American citizen.
The deceased was friend of young
men, Mr.. Chase went On to say. He
was humanitarian, loved, and respect
ed by all. In his death, said he, a
friend and a distinguished member oi
the bar had passed away.

Col. S. A. Perkins, the genial
and able assistant secretary Of the
National Committee, deserves well
of the party. Through his infu-
ence and untiring energy many
voters in the various states were
induced to 60 home to help swell
the republican majorities. The
part he played in the recent cam
paign indicates that he is an astute
politician, who promises to reach
an exalted position in the counsels
of the party leaders. The state of
Washington may yet call into requ-
sition the splendid capabilities of
the young secretary, by honoring
him with their votes for a repre-
sentative office. At least we hope

Ii is quite early IN the senatorial
canvass for the enemies Of Senator
Hanna TO be prophesying his de-
feat. Senator Hanna is not to be
scared of by the wild and fiendish
demonstrations of the opposition.
He has earned reelection upon an
unequivocal arrangement in which
the party pledged its honor In open
convention and long before the
snow shall have melted on the
dome of the Capitol at Columbus.

The suggestion bearing upon the
constitution of committee to Sc

aminalions We think practicable
and highly necessary as a means OF
stimulating competition and insplr-

suggest that the pupils of the Nor

in the various schools throughout

meet the various shades of intel

adequately prepare them for duty.
To con. ne their observation and

There is popular demand for

That fearless and patriotic negro
journal, The Vindicator, published
at Columbus, Ohio, and edited by
Ralph W. Tyler, one the most pun
gent writer's in the country, utters
a simple truth when it says that
the colored people of the United
State ask and expect the appoint
ment of Hon. B. K. Bruce, as
Register of the Treasury. Recog-
nlzing Mr.. Bruce as the greatest
living negro, it feels that this ap'
pointment would be in an impor,
tant sense a recognition of the
growth and advancement of the
race. Editor Tyler enjoys and
deserves the confidence of the re.
publican party of the State of Ohio
and what he says is entitled to
great weight and consideration.

new teachers and more of the i'm
proved appliances to facilitate in
struction and insure proper edu-

And this, too, while we are asking

that the foolish practice of with
holding moneys which should be
applied to needed reforms and i'm
provements of the system, pariakes
more of parsimony than of econo,
my. 1t is hoped that our trustees
will find place for all the money
which Congress appropriates and
that the Superintendent will make
such suggestions in the line of ex-
tension and improvement as will
make the expenditure of the entire
school fund necessary. By this
means we can consistently ask for

wHIPPLE's ABANDONMENT.

The rumored abandonment of Whipple barracks, which has been in circulation for some time throughout the Territory and in army circles seems to have at least reached some degree of confrma- ton. The Army and Navy Register, the official organ of the army and navy, under date of December f, contains the following;
 "Whipple Barracks, Arizona, has outlived its usefulness as an army post and the war department has decided to abandon it. Orders for its evacuation and the distribution of the troops low stationed there will soon De issued"
 The statement that Whipple bar racks has outlived its usefulness is 8 grave mistake into which the war department has fallen. The i'm portance of a post in Northern Ari- zona is fully recognized by the peo- pie of the Territory and now the citizens of Arizona should bestir themselves and in business like, convincing manner, show the war department wherein it is in error. The time to act is before the orders closing the post are issued. After ward it may be too lste.

The troops are needed not only on sc count of possible conflicts between Indians and settlers. Occasions arise in which large commercial and nin- ing interests are in need of prosec- ton which cannot be afforded by the civil or territorial authorities, however willing or efficient they may be.
 With Whipple removed, there would be a vast stretch of more than 60O miles, between Wingate and Mohave, exposed to outlswry.
