DEATH OF JUDGE MILLER.

Thomas F. Miller, Judge of the
Police Court, died suddenly at his
residence in Takoma Park, on last
Tuesday afternoon. There was no
man on the bench held in higher
esteem than Judge Miller. He was
one of the most brilliant lawyers at
the District bar and man who
was respected for his learning in
the law. He was our friend, for
whom we had the most profound
respect and admiration.
His death was sudden as well as
a surprise to his many friends and
admirers. In the death of Judge
Miller, the bar loses one Of its
learned jurlsts.

GOOD WORK.
n The Cleveland Vindicator.

From The Cleveland Vindicator.
Hon. B. K. Bruce who this week
closed a most successful series OF po-
litical speeches in Ohio, fully main
tanned his standing as the greatest
negro in politics today. The simple
announcement that Bruce was to
speak brought out our people for miles
around to hear him. The work that
he accomplished for the republican
ticket in Ohio this fall is simply incal-
culable A pleasing thing about Bruce
is that he bears his honor with mod
es tdignity. Though head and shoulders
above the level, he refrains from vul-
gar pomposity. Great men always ap-
pear as plain common men of the
people. That's what Bruce does. If
the Registry of the Treasury is to be
the largest plum to be given out to- a
negro, then Bruce should have 1t 1or
better is to given the race, than Bruce
should have that something better.

NOT SATISFIED.

United States District Attorney
Davis will, in few Gays, file an ap-
peal in the Court of Appeals from the
ruling of Judge Cole as to the valid
ity of the appointment of United
States Commissioner S. c. Mills,
which was recently decided by Judge
Cole in favor of Mr.. Mills.
In that proceeding the question as
to whether the Police Court is a court
of the United States was brought up.
Judge Cole held that 1t was, and that
persons convicted ir that court and
sent to Jail in default of payment of
fines may avail themselves Of the pro-
visions OF the poor convict act. Mr..
Davis has contended that the appoint
ment of United States Commissioner
for the District of Columbia by the
District rrpreme Court was not legal,
making the appointment of Mr.. Mills
as a commissioner a test case. He is
anxious for final judicial determine
ton by the higher tribunal.

GORMANISM DEAD,

The boss of Maryland has at last
met his waterloo. Arthur P. Cor
man, who it is claimed has over
300 democratic appointments in
the Government Printing Office
and half as many under the Dis
trict government, all protected by
the civil service, except those un-
der the District government, will
no longer rule the destiny of Mary
land German and Gormanism
is no longer an issue in the State
of Maryland. 1t is evident that
the democratic appointees of Cor
man voted the democratic ticket
on last Tuesday, while the repub-
licans who were turned out of
office voted the republican ticket.

BRUCE AT URBANA-THE EX-SENATOR
IS GIVEN ROUsING RECEPTION-HE
DELIVERS A MASTERLY SPEECH.
Urbana, o., Oct. 28.
Last Saturday afternoon and even
ing was a gala day for the republicans
of Champaign county, both Colored
and white.
In the afternoon, in the beautiful
grove near his house, the Hon. Joseph
P. Smith had erected and neatly deco
rated a speakers stand, and large
concourse of people gathered them
selves together to enjoy the great po-
litical feast that our own Joe Smith las
he is Familiarity called) had prepared
and arranged for the benefit of the
party in his own Wholesouled way.
Joe never does anything by halves.
He has, by his push, energy and emf
nent ability, together with his genial
disposition and grand social qualities,
won for himself the distinguished hon
or of being one of the foremost men of
this country Being young man, a
very bright future lies before him.
Several prominent speakers were on
hand, and among them was ex-senator
B. K. Bruce, of Mississippi. The Hon.
Geo. NJ. Eichelberger, chairman of the
meeting, in introducing, paid him quite
a compliment by saying that the late
Frederick Douglass was the foremost
colored man in this country as an ora
tor and statesman, and that when he
died the mantle fell upon the Hon. B..
K. Bruce, and we do not believe that it
could have fallen upon one more suit
able or worthy to wear it than he, and
may he wear 1t with becoming dignity
to himself and honor to the memory
of the departed. His speech was nee
essarily brief on the account of his late
arrival upon the scene and his being
booked for a speech in the evening at
Market Square theater; but il was to
the point and it certainly met the ap-
probation of his hearers. as the careful
attention given and the frequent out
bursts of hearty applause would indi-
cate.

WHAT l SAW AND HEARD.

"Tbere was an election on last
Tuesday," remarked a bystander.
"IG was generally conceded that
/ the republicans would lose New
| York. y
District Attorney Davis is having
his appeal all to himself. What
difference does it make whether
the Supreme Court has authority
to appoint a United States Com
mission or not? Judge Mills is do
ing a good service to class of un-
fortunate people,
The Attorney General will de-
eide the Kennedy case in few
days. The general presumption is
that the civil service will be lifted
from the government printing Of
fee.
"There is no use talking" re-
marked the disappointed office
seeker, "the republicans lost the
election by adhering to the civil
service. This humbug reform will
xiii any party The sooner
the President sees the I'm
portance of abolishing it the sooner
the party will be united" "
The great conspiracy that was
Instituted against Super ntendent
Cook didn't work. The leading
conspirator was exposed. 1t seems
that there was a disposition on the
part of some Que to get an office
and nothing more.
Senator Hanna has been elected.
1t was hard fought battle.
There is some disposition on the
part of the trusetes of the cOlored
schools to place Miss Alice S. Davis
at the head Of the musical depart
ment. The moment this is done, it
! will indorse the argument that has
been made, that Park Temple
Church is running the schools.
1t is hoped that the trustees on that
committee will not make a bad
break.
Mrs. Terrell has been placed on
the High and Normal school COM
wittee. Nothing that comes from
the committee may be surprising to
the public. If the committee would
only reform the two schools the
people would be satisfied.
DR.. Daniel Ii. Williams, surgeon
in-chief of the Freedmens Hospital,
who was sued for libel by Mr.. john
son, has won his demurrer. The
counsel for the other side has asked
for ten days to amend. Mr.. r.
Ross Perry has withdrawn as John
sons counsel.

HON. B. K. BRUCE ENTER
TANNED.

From the Republican Vindicator.
An informal reception was held at
the armory of Company B, Ninth Bat
talon, last Tuesday evening, IN honor
of Hon. B. K. Bruce, of Washington,
DC. Major Charles w. Fillmore and
Captain ]. H. Dickerson, on very short
notice assembled the members of the
hospital corps and twenty members of
Company B at the armory, where the
following program was carried out:
First. Exhibition drill by Company
B, under the command of Captain Hop
kins and Lieutenant d. Brooks.
Second. Silent manual drill by Ser
geant GuiIbert and Corporal Bryant
Third. Exhibition drill by hospital
corps under command of Captain I.
II. DiCkerson.
Fourth. Address by the Hon. B. K.
Bruce. Mr.. Bruce was profuse in his
praise Of the manner in which the COM
pany and corps drilled, and also highly
compli1mented Major Fillmore on the
perfectness of the executions, the dis
cipline, the equipments and the soldier
ly appearance of the men in his COM
mand. The hospital corps, which is
the delight of the battalion, in their
exhibition drill elected great applause
from all present. After the drill was
over the men were dismissed and sent
to their quarters. Captain Dickerson
had a number to fall wounded, where
upon the hospital corps call was sound
ed by the chief trumpeter, Maurice
Tyler, which was the signal for the
corps to assemble in double-quick
time with litter to remove the patient.
The promptness with which they re-
Sponded and the manner in which they
handled the wounded patient was the
occasion of much favorable comment.
The Peoples Orchestra, under the di-
rection of Professor Thomas Howard,
furnished delightful music during the
evening. At the conclusion OF the
program all repaired to the major S
quarters, where music, mirth and
laughter reigned supreme. The bat
talion's double quartet furnished some
delightful music At a late hour "My
Country, IT'S of Thee" and the "Sol-
dier's FAREWELL" were sung by all,
followed by "taps."

GREEN AT GALLIPOLIS.
GREAT INTEREST DOWN IN OLD GALLIA
COUNTY.

Gallipolis, O., Oct. 2S.-Owing to
the negligence of the correspondent of
the VindicatOY the notice of the great
republican meeting of last Saturday
which was addressed by Hon. John P.
Green, was not printed in last weeks
issue. Senator Green addressed a
large and appreciative audience, most
ly colored citizens; at the opera house
on the 10th of this month, and handled
the issues of this campaign in his usual
witty and eloquent style. His pointed
illustrations and bursts of eloquence
brought forth deserved applause. Be-
ing compelled to remain in the city
over Sunday before he could get a
train for Cleveland he gave quite an
interesting talk at the A. NJ. E. church
Sunday afternoon, to large number
of our citizens. He left the universal
impression of the great and good man
he is.
The colored republicans of this city
organized themselves into republi-
can club last Thursday night. They
have listened to speeches from local
lights every night and are in excellent
shape to vote the straight ticket from
top to bottom. As this is the home of
one of the candidates on the Negro
Protective ticket, every respectable
colored voter wants to show his ap-
probation of this democatic scheme,
and also of the men who are posing as
leaders of our race.

CAUSES A VACANCY.

The death of Judge Miller causes a
vacancy which will in all probability
be filled by the President without de-
Law. as the business of the court is in
such shape as to require the services
of two judges. Judge Kimball's term
is soon to expire, and a number of
names. including his own, have been
mentioned as being under consldera-
ton for appointment. Most of the as
pirants have put in applications with
scores of indorsers. John H. O'Don-
nell, Samuel C. Mills, Chas. F. Scott,
and (. NJ. Hewlett. all justices of the
peace, have been mentioned as proba-
BILE successors to Judge Kimball. The
names of several attorneys have also
been used in connection with the ap-
pointment, but most of these deny that
they are applicants, and say they would
not accept the position.
Judge Miller was prominent in Ma
sonic circles. He was a member OF
Mount Vernon Chapter, Royal Arch
Masons, Pentalpha Lodge, F. A. A.
NJ, and Columbia Commandery, X.
T. He was also member of the Odd
Fellows order.
The funeral took place from Rock
Greek Church Thursday afternoon.
Since the above report, Judge ChaS.
F. Scott has been appointed.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The narrow escape of the repub
licar party from defeat in Ohio and
Maryland ought to be lesson tc
the administration that the recent
order of the President keeping dem
ocrats in office is dangerous
thing. The President certainly is
not asleep
The country is opposed to civil
service, and if the fnends Of the
administration would be honest
enough and tell the President so,
they won d do the party a service.
There were hundreds of men, and
ublicans, who were anxious to
see the entire republican party de-
feated in the recent election. This
was due to the recent order Of the
President extending civil service.
If the party hopes to have success
in 1900, there should be some mod
iication of the civil service. Re-
publicans want Office, and there is
no Disgusting it.

SCHOOL COMMITTEES.

If one will take the trouble to
look over the school committees,
he will see that the colored mem
bers of the board are all in the
minority on all committees where
they should have at least three col
ored members on such coml5tees.
The committees should be so con
structed that where y
agrees to a proposition the gen.
eral board should sustain them. Ii
there is a division on any PROPOSE
ton the colored board resorts to a
sham examination, and that ex-
animation is conducted and man
aged by white committee, which
is in the majority. The recent ex'
animation for cooking teacher was
conducted almost entirely by 6

ored representative that was on

DEATH OF JUDGE MILLER.

A DISTINGUISHED JURIST PASSES
AWAY = TRIBUTES TO A WORTHY
MAN.
The death of Judge Thomas F. Mil
ler was the chief topic of conversation
among the lawyers Tuesday. About
the courts there was a universal ex-
preston Of deep personal sorrow for
his loss. His character as man, his
great ability as jurist, his kindness
to the poor and oppressed were COM
mented upon at length. His death was
officially noticed in all the courts, and
Judge Bradley and Judge Kimball paid
his memory high tribute, both courts
being adjourned as mark of respect.
The funeral arrangements were
placed in the hands of DR.. Charles G..
Stone, of Brightwood, Judge Miller's
physician, and the ceremony took
place Thursday at o'clock. The SER
vices were held at Rock Greek Church.

copal Church at Takoma, offiCiated.
The pall-bearers were c. Maurice

interment was in Rock Creek Gene

A GATHERING IN COURT ROOM.
When the time for opening court ar
rived Wednesday morning the general
feeling of sorrow would have resulted
in the immediate adjournment of the
Police Courts but for the large number
of prisoners. The cases were finished
as quickly as possible, however, with
only one judge sitting, and about noon
the proceedings were interrupted by
the Introduction of resolutions regard
ing the death of the late presiding
