PROF. J. N. GREGORY.

In another column the readers
of the BEE will see letter from
Mr.. Daniel Murray TO the District
Attorney retracung his charges
against Prof. Gregory. We COM
mend Mr.. Murray for his manly
retraction. When man is not
guilty of an offense it is right to
say so, but when one is guilty let
the heavens fall before retraction
is made. Prof. Gregory may have
made mistakes, no one will deny,
but can some one point out per-
feet man: With daylight and a
lighted lantern Dioganes failed to
find an honest man.
Prof. Gregory lost money invest
ing in property. Is that crime:
Millions of men lose money that
way but they are not charged with
being dishonest.

MR.. PALMER TAKES
CHARGE.

The new Public Printer, Hon.
Frank W. Palmer, took charge last
week. The colored printers who
were discharged on the representa-
ton of negro democratic knaye
in the office will no doubt be rein
stated.
The Negro Democratic Congres-
sional Club and other similar Or
ganization that THE Bee exposed
and the Civil Service Commls-
sion investigate will get a dose
of their own medicine.
Mr.. Palmer is not the man to
listen to tales about worthy men.
Much credit is due to Mr.. ]. b.
Butcher, who has been in the Of
fee for a number of years, for the
interest he took in the colored en-
ployees of the office.
Mr.. Butcher served under Mr..
Palmer before, hence he needs no
introduction to him.

JOSEPH SHILLINGTON.

The first official act Of District
Attorney Davis was to appoint
Mr.. Joseph Shillington Assis ant
United Sta.es District Attorney to
succeed Mr.. Tracy L. Jeffords.
While The BEE -egrets the re-
moval of Mr.. Jeffords, 1t certainly
must extend its congratulation to
Mr., Shillington, who is one of the
most competent and best known
members of the District bar and a
young man who will certainly I'LL
the position to which he has been
appointed.
Mr.. Shillington is no stranger to
the position. He was at one time
prosecuting officer in the Police
Court.

Is THE RECORDERSHIP AN
ASSET?
from the Washington Post. ]

From the Washington Post.
We confess our inability to detect
the logic of the assumption that the
Office of Recorder Of Deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia must necessarily be
filled BY the appointment of Colored
man. The proposition is advanced
with confidence and calmneSs. 1t is
in a way accepted very generally. In
many quarters il seems TO be agreed
that the only question in the connec-
ton is what particular colored man
shall have the place. Nevertheless,
we do no. see the logic of the hypOth-
esis. In tact, we challenge it out
right.
Our esteemed contemporary the
DAILY Post is like the BEE, al
WAYS advancing new ideas. The
Post" is ready at all times to
strike directly AT hornets nest no
matter whether it is stung or not.
In regard 10 the Recorders Office
the BEE, in common with the
"Post," is opposed and will always
oppose the invasion Of interloperS.
The colored people have the same
right 10 seek the Recorders Office
as the white man has 10 demand
all Of the Cabinet places when the
Negro aided as much to elect Presi-
dent Mckinley SIS the white man.
1t is not that the Negro has any
particular claim on the Recorders
Office: he sees that all the other
offices under the Administration
are being filed by prominent white
Republicans and he thinks thar the
only office of any Importance left
is the Recorders office. He is put
ting in his claim for that office be-
fore its gets aw Y from him. The
only amusing thing about the fight
for the Recorders office is that
every Negro and cross-road poll
ucian in the country is candidate
for this office. The BEE in its
issue four months ago asked the
same question the Post asks
now: why should the Recorders
be made a colored office: If Pres
ident Mckinley will give the Ne
gro several offices equal to the Re-
cor6er's office the colored people
will not object.
Will our esteemed contemporary
explain TO Us why it IS that the
white man wants all the offices and
thinks ;hat be has a right TO them:
Will the Post" deny that every
Office under the United States Gov
ernment is not demanded BY the
white man: We will admit that
the Recorders office needs a reor-
ganiaation and the sooner il is
made the better. If the Negro did
not claim something be would pet
nothing. The white man claims
the earth and he has got it. The
white people think that = white
man should be President Of the
United States, the Negro hss not.
as vet, aspired to that exalted posi-
ton, but he will some day and be
will not be as selfish as his white
contemporary who is Of the opin-
ion that this world was maze fol-
Caesar slone. The Negro sspires
to the Recorders Office for the
same reason the white man always
demands the the Register Of Wills.

 The man who composed the music Tor Whittier's song, We Are Coming, Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thon. sand Strong, Is an old and somewhaA decrepit piano tuner, who carries on his business near Windom, Minn. Hia name is A. B. Irving.
 One day soon after Lincoln S call fog 300, GOO more men, Irving, then young man, was on his way to Defiance, O., from Fort Wayne for the purpose of singing at q political and loyal meeting He had considerable reputation as a composer and singer and the Republic ans had asked him to come and heIp them On the way he read the poem, which had just been published. Irving studied it, formulated tune, hummed It and got tho rhythm, and that even Ing at the Defiance meeting he sang the song for tho first time. When he had finished, and the last echoes had died away, men mounted their chairs with wild enthusiasm, swung their hats and broke loose in cheers that rang with feeling. He sang 1t again and again, and they would scarcely let him rest
 The next night he sang the song at Fort Wayne, and again aroused the same enthusiasm He wrote out the music and sent it to the publisher who had handled what he had composed, with instructions to publish it on his usual terms of royalty. It was publish ed, and inside of month more than 40, GOO copies had been sold. In few days the publisher failed and Irving never received a dollar for the musio-- New York Sun
