WHY HESITATE.

The people of this country are
patiently waiting for the appoint
ment of Capt. j. W. Lyons of Au-
gusta, Ca, to the Postmastership
there. The question that has been
puzzling the Negroes of the country
is, why does the President hesltate'
The BEE has the most implicit
faith in the wisdom of the Presi-
dent and believe that he intends to
send Capt. Lyons name to the
Senate. President Mckinley is no
coward. NE believe that at the
proper time he will show to the
colored men of this country that he
is Napoleon in deed and in fact.

Renublican Criticism.

According to the protective theory the
imposition of tax on noncoInpeting
articles adds to their cost to the con-
sumer. This theory would be aptly ex-
emplfed in the proposed duties on
hides, as the people would be compelled
to pay more for their footwear. It is
estimated that the increased cost of
boots and shoes for one year under the
proposed duty would amount to $2O,-
100000. With free hides our manufac-
turers of leather goods have been able
to build up great export trade in foot-
wear. AS Mr.. Blaine said when II was
proposed to put duty on hides in the
law of 1890: at will yield profit to the
butcher only-the last man that needs
it." The interests of the tanners and
shoe manufacturers are vastly more
important than the interests of butch
ers and western, Chicago

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

The colored members of the
school board of Howard University
haven't got nerve enough to force
a colored President for that institu-
ton. There are a few of them
however, who would scheme to de-
feat one of their number from be-
ing appointed as trustee. What
claim has DR.. Rankin to the presl-
dency of that institution? IS it
not set apart for the colored peo-
pie? Why then is it not managed
by a compe ent co'ored man? The
great trouble is, that we have not
men of nerve to remove DR.. Ran
kin.

HE IS NOT OLD.

Two or three wise exchanges are
calling Recorder Henry P. Cheatham
a young" man of the race. If statis-
clans are to be believed, he was born
in I84o, lacking about 73I days of be-
ing so years old. Is that young?
In ancient times a man Was not
considered old until he was hun
dred or hundred and fifty. The
recorder is a new man and belongs
to new school of politics.

INGRATITUDE.

It is natural for some men to be
ungrateful. Ingratitude is the
failure of some politicians as well
as with some statesmen. MN,
whether in politics or what not,
should be truthful and sincere in
their dealings with their friends or
foes. "Ingratitude is stronger than
traitors arms" and men often re-
sort to measures of revenge. Many
an honest man has lost his standing
and influence by ingratitude. It is
better to be honest and just than it
is to forget your duty to your
friends.

COMING POLICE COURT
CHANGES,

The first of January the term of
Judge |. G.. Kimball, one of the judges
ofthe police court, will expire. There
is being circulated, it is reported, a
petition asking for his reappointment.
On the other hand there is great deal
of opposition to him. Among those
who are prominently mentioned for
the place are, Justices L. NJ. Hewlett,
Scott, Taylor and Mills. Mr., Hewlett
is supported by the entire colored
population in this city and
quite a number of white mem
bers of the bar. There are many
reasons that have been advanced by
members of the bar why Judge Kim
ball should not be reap2ointed. These
reasons will be strongly set forth in a
petition to the President at the proper
time. Personally Judge Kimball is
liked, but as Judge of the police court
it is the opinion Of many that another
man should be appointed. If the
President decides not to recognize a
colored member of the bar, the colored
citizens will concentrate on either JUS
tice Taylor or Scott. Either one OF
these Justices would be acceptable to
the people in the event colored
Judge is not appointed.

WE NEVER TELL A LIE.

From The New York Age Jnue II, 1897.
The Washington BEE says that the
amiable Colonel William "A. fleoger
will not receive the appointment as
Consul to Jamaica. How does ne
REF know this? And why Will not
Col PIedger get this small position;
He has earned it by long, faithfulsand
effective party service, and he is en-
dorsed hV the entire Republican ma
chine of his State. What more Is
is needed? Is he to be turned down
for preferring Thomas b. Reeo 10
William Mckinley as the RepublIc;ain
candidate for the Presidency we
rather think not. We do not think
that the President and Chairman Han
ma will adopt any such rule to govern
IN the distribution of party honorS.
We do not see why Col. Pledger can
not have the Jamaica Consulate.
The President sent to the Senate
Tuesday June 30, the name of Mr..
Louis K. Dent of the District of
Columbia, who was at one time sec
retary to Mr.. Blaine and who was
the first man to be removed by
Cleveland. Perhaps our esteemed
contemporary viii believe hereafter
what it sees in The BEE must be
so. The BEE never tells lie.

WHY NOT INVESTIGATE

Would it not be advisable for the
Committee of the High and Nor
NAL Schools to investigate the
numerous complaints that are be-
ing made by the citizens as to the
methods that are adopted in admit
ting the High School graduates to
the Normal School? Will trustees
Bruce and Shadd, who have ch rye
of our High and Normal Schools
look into these many complaints?

GOOD MATERIAL.

Ifit is the inten ion of the authorl-
ties to appoint female as one OF
the trustees of our Distri Reform
School, there is good material from
which a selection can be mate.
Mrs. J. T. Layton would make an
excellent trustee. one of the
most popular women in this city.
Mrs. pr. Ida Richardson would
make another good trustee. Mrs.
DR.. Francis would also make good
trustee. Mrs. DIR. Shadd would
fill the position with honor. Mrs.
L. f. Dyson, whose work is among
the downtrodden would be accept
able to the people. What the peo-
pie want is an active woman as a
Trustee.

Manufacturers Against Tariff Bill.


One of the most striking indications
of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association of the
United States. Mr.. A. B. Farquhar, an
extensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa, is at the head
of the movement.
It is well known that in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are well able to take care
of themselves. All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material, so that they will
not be placed at disadvantage.
A great list of other industries are
practically in the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers, in their petit
ton to the senate, declare that their
ability to employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi
nese wall that is obstructing the foreign
trade and cripping American enter
prise shall be broken down.
The plea which has been Used for
years by the protectionists-nanely,
that protection is in the interest of
American labor-is shown by census
figures to be a sham. Of the 5,0O0,0 900
persons employed in manufacturing in
the United States it is shown in the Pc
tition that less than 200,G0D are en-
ployed in occupations subject 10 active
foreign competition and $4,000 in
occupations subject to moderate for
eign competition. The remainder, over
100000, do not come at all in compe-
tition with foreign labor.
1t is very plain that the Dingiey bill
is not designed, any more than any 9TH
er high protective measure was de-
signed, to protect American labor or to
produce revenues for the government
1t is designed primarily to protect the
trusts and to foster monopoly.--Balti-

ONLY THE JANIToR's WAY.
Calvin Kisses His Pretty Tenant and
fses pes Punish

Edward Calvin, an elderly man, one of
those autocratic, Adespotic creatures
known as janitors, was a p~risoner-at the
bar of the First Criminal Court this
morning charged with taking improper
liberties with Mrs. Adele Klein, one of the
tenants in the fat at No. 5S Henderson
street, ruled and governed by Calvin.
Mrs. Klein, a pleasant faced respectable
young woman. with a baby in her arms
and an apple checked youngster tagging
at her dress, told Justice Potts that on
August 13 or thereabouts, Janitor Calvin
came to her room on the second floor,
while her husband was his work, upon a
fimsy excuse tina he wanted to warn her
not to mind what the other tenants said
about her. Then the arnorous Mr.. Gal
vim approached the pretty Mrs Klein,
and seizing her in his arms, rapturousiy
kissed her, saying
.sOh, Mrs. Klein; I am very fond of
you. You are a nice woman, and I want
to be very kind to vol"
When she could release herself from the
arms of Calvin Mrs. Klein Indignantly
ordered him from her room, and told him
that she would inform her husband what
had happened. lure enough when Mr..
Klein returned from work his wife told
him of the janitor's indecent conducts and
Klein was mad through and through. He
called up the ~janitor, and seizing a big
knife, said
eYou beast, If 1t was not for your age
I would break every bone in your body.
Touch my wife again and I will kill you"
Calvin humbly a~pologized, and then pro-
jected his astral n earthly bodies down
stairs at a lively speed. A warrant was
procured for his arrest.
Galvin's defense conducted by Justice
Potts, was of the thinnest kind. He
said he wanted to saw some boards for
Mrs. Klein, and merely put his hand on
her shoulder. 1t was a way he had, he
said. He admitted that after the assault
on Mrs. Klein he served her with a dis
possess warrant, but not to get square
with her for telling her husband. Oh,
certainly not; nothing of the kind.
Justice Potts, after listening to the de-
Tense, summed up in favor of Calvin and
dismissed the charge to the immense as
constituent of lawyers present and others
in the court room. Calvin grinned n
said in leaving, Il am very much obliged
to you, Judge" and he had every reason.

Welded In 4 SALOON
Hoboken's New Marriage Rec
ord-Beer, Pretzels and a
Dowry-in Hungary.

The marriage craze seems to have struck
Hoboken in d rather peculiar manner.
Couples are being welded in almost every
section of the city and the knot-tiers are
kept extremely busy. In the majority OF
cases there is no wedding march or gor-
geous display OF dress. but simply q plain
ordinary marriage. Recently one was re-
ported as having taken place in a trolley
car. Last night the record was again
broken when Justice of the Peace Louis
r. McCulloch married a couple in a
saloon and after the all hands
INDUCED in a wedding feast on beer and
pretzels.
The contracting parties were William
fBuseher. twenty-six years old, and MISS
Marie Hobexy. twenty years. both OF NO.
81 Washington street.
Miss IIobcxy sailed for this country on
the steamship Paris. Of the American
Line, last February. During the "trip she
became acquainted with Buscher, who is
employed as chef on the steamer. 1t was
love at first sight and before the voyage
was completed they were engaged, Miss
Hobexy went to live in Hoboken and
Buscher promised to arrang for the we'd
din as soon as he had saved enough
money to provide a comfortable home.
Miss Hobexy, however, grew tired OF
waiting and when her lover arrived in
port last night she said:-"Let's get mar
ried now. I can get money from my
father" She then told Buscher that her
father was a Wel1-toldo doctor in u
pest and that he had promised to present
her with 1000 on her wedding day.
Buscher needed no further encourage
ment n at 1870 o'clock last night ne
took his fiancee to Anthony w. Sehwan-
MES saloon at Newark and Garden
streets. Justice McCulloch was sent for
and in a few minutes the ceremony was
performed, Schwannie and his wife app
pearing as witnesses. There We're a num-
Der of persons in the saloon and the
groom celebrated the event by treating
the house."
The bride asked the Justice for a dupli.
cate marriage certificate to SEND to hef
father with a request for the promised
wedding present. Buscher will take the
certificate to Budapest on his next trip
abroad. &s

battery work was the prevailing feature,
both pitchers displaying a great deal of
effectiveness in the box. Brady was most
prominent. holding the hits well down
