reason. Democratic applause
Mr.. Clark wanted to know what the
House was going to do, after the tariff
bill had been passed. "Are we going
to sit around and look at each other
Establish mutual admiration society

Why didn't you give the l3l

their oratorical wings. daughter
You could pass these bills whenever you
wanted to-you have the votes, and
we can't prevent. But rs you wont
do that, I'll tell you what we'll do. Ii
we can keep our 13l members together
here, we'll bave you voting half the
time, and busy the other half explain
ing your votes or the reasons why you
were not in your seats" applause J
Mr.. Clark said in conclusion, that he
had few suggestions to make regard
ing the rules. I'm the 51st Congress
the present speaker established what
he called quorum counting rule. And
want to say that I think he was right.
cloud applause) There is no specta-
Gle more ridiculous to my mind, than
that OF a man at least twenty-five
wears old, who some one believes
is worthy of being sent TO Con-
gress sitting in his place, and
when the clerk calls his name, returns
CLASSY stare, and gives no other sign
OF animation. (Laughter.) That quo
rum counting will form the cornerstone
of the Speakers career.
Just at this juncture Mr.. Clark's
time expired and the Speakers gavel
fell at the phrase complimenting him.
Mr.. Reed was unable TO contain him
self and the House shouted itself
hosrse at the amusing coincidence.
Mr. W. A. Stone said Mr.. Clark
ought TO be permitted to finish the COR
nerstone, and he secured enough time
TO state his suggestions. These were
that the members should be dock ed
for absence and fined for refusing to
vote. Add these to your quorum
counting rule" he said, ''and you'll
have a perfect machine. And we'll
keep our l31 members here and make
it mighty lively for you" lGreat
laughter
The bill was read and then passed
without a division.
A vigorous opposition was shown to
the passage of the Indian appropriation
bill, the last of the quartette.
Mr.. Savers asked about the para
graph relating to the mineral lands in
the Uncompahgre reservation in Utah,
containing gilsonite. Mr.. Sherman
man said it was in the bill: it did not
meet his approval; and he wished it
were not there. The paragraph was
opposed by Messrs. Cooper, Holman
and Maddox on the ground that tie
deposits OF gilsonite Tor bitumen or as.
nhalO should be sold to the highest bid
der.
Mr.. Savers characterized the propo-
sition in the bill as sheer, bare faced
robbery" and he appealed to the House
"to rise aud assert its equal right in
the legislation OF Congress. (The para.
graph was added by the Senate and al
ter struggle in the House, accepted
by that body.)

THE BOOK OF THE ROYAL
BLUE.

The "Book of the Royal Blue" is
sued by the Passenger Department of
the Baltimore and Ohio r. R., has
made its initial appearance with the
October number. and is, undoubtedly,
the most creditable magazine of its
nature published Aside from beiIg
a model example of modern tvpogra-
ply, it is most interesting as to its con-
tents. A field for interesting liter
ature is certainly offered by the Balti-
more and Ohio r. R., because it is the
oldest railway in the United States; is
foremost in historical prominence, and
is rich in magnificent scenery. The
latter especially affords an endless
scope for illustrations, and the maga-
zine has started on its venture with all
these points full in hand.
Copies can be obtained by enclosing
four "a cents in stamps to the Adver-
tising Department, Baltimore and
Ohio r. R., Baltimore, Md.-Ot-I6.2t.

A SCHEME TO DEFEAT MISS
FREEMAN.
ARE CoLoREp EXAMINERS TO BE IG-
NORED.

ARE CoLoREp EXAMINERS TO BE IG-
NORED.
There is movement on foot to de-
feat Miss Freeman for the cooking
school. Mrs, Trustee Terrell, who
has been championing the cause OF
Miss Wilder, and who is on the indus
trial committee of the public schools,
declares that Miss Wilder will be ap-
pointed. Miss Jacobs, the white cook
ing teacher in the white schools under
whom Miss " ilder has been taking
lessons all the winter, is to prepare the
questions for the examination for can
didates for the cooking teacher. Why
should Miss Cook, the directresS of
the colored cooking school, be ignored
and white woman appointed to ex-
anime colored applicants Does Mrs.
Terrell think that the colored people
will tolerate this !?
Miss Jacobs is the direCtress of the
white cooking school from whom Miss
Wilder has been taking lessons all the
winter. She is to prepare these ques-
tions: 1t will also be remembered that
Miss Wilder has been no further than
the eighth grade, while Miss Freeman
is high school graduate.
DIR. Richardson, who is member of
the school board, has a duty to per-
form, and he should do it fearlessly
and without favor.

MISS MERRITT SURPRISED.

Miss Emma F. G.. Merritt, the newly
appointed supervising principal, was
agreeably surprised on last Saturday
evening by the teachers of Garnett
building. About s o'clock the teach
ers commenced to call at the residence
of the Misses Chase, IIo9 | street n. w,
greatly to the surprise of Miss Merritt,
who was as busy as the ladies in the
home assisting in arranging the table
to entertain their guests, as she
thought. About O'Clock every teach
sr IN the Garnett building had assem-
bled in the parlors, even Mr.. E. B..
Melbourne, which seemed to surprise
Miss Merritt, but still she failed to
"catch on" She could not account
for the assembling of the Garnett
teachers at such an hour.
Within a few minutes of 9 o'clock
Miss Merritt was presented with a
handsome garnet ring, in neat little
speech, to which she made brief re-
sponse. After which the uninvited
guests repaired to the dining room be-
low and partook of sumptuouS re-
past
Miss Merritt assumed charge of ker
new position Wednesday.

COLOR LINE IN THE SCHOOLS.

NORMAL GRADUATES IGNoRED-PREJ-
UDICE CHARGED IN A CERTAIN d.
VISION.
Editor of the BEE:
For some time you have been stating
that there was no color prejudice in the
public schools; | mean the negro
schools. am prepared to show that
of all the normal graduates for the last
ten years who have not been provided
for are the black teachers. You may
say this is all bosh and there is no truth
in it, but | am prepared to show in
writing, if you will publish it, the
names and residences of quite num-
Der of those graduates. am prepared
to show also that there is a certain di-
vision In the colored schools in which
black teachers are ignored. You can
take all the principals in this division,
and you will see that they belong tC
the brighter class. Is this to continue
Win Commissioner Ross, who has
charge of the schools, continue to re
tain trustee against the will of the
people? Look around you, Mr.. Ed
itor, and be convinced
Respectfully, JAMES BAILEY
