1t is quite interesting to watch
the colored politicians wild scram-
bic for national plums. 1t will
average about one.half day to
each place. The most are worthy
men offering themselves for politi-
cal honors: they are no doubt
looking toward Washington with
an anxious eye, and hopeful sigh.
Even some old politicians who have
been holding political jobs for ten
and fifteen years are still asking
TOR recognition. We would like
to see the new colored man of the
Booker 7. Washington type. the
younger class, recognized.

A few weeks ago we were sorry
to announce the closing of one Of
our few colored Savings Banks in
Baltimore, Nd, and colored
cashier the absconder. This weeks
news comes to us the statement
that the mayor Of Baltimore had
to oust DR.. Geo. W. Bryant, Supt.
of the Third Dist. St. Cleaning
Department, who had misappro-
priated several thousand dollars
he could not account for. We are
sorry those things happen especi-
ally among the highest and most
esteemed OF their community. 1t
creates widespread talk and hurts
the worthy cause Of others, who
are honest. Every colored man
that holds a public position even
from the lowest to the highest po-
sition and abuse their trust reflects
greatly on our race. Our white
critics are quick to say they are all
that way, or it was no more than
| expected. The average white
don't stop to reflect a moment as
they should. They should not
condemn all for the act of a few
they should think that hundreds
and hundreds OF their race are do.
ing the same thing every day,
even worse than those men have
done, yet we do not uphold those
who have done wrong, they should
be punished.
