ROSCOE CONKLING BRUCE.

Among the special distinctions that
can come to college boys, If indeed
college sentiment does not make it
the highest, is being a member of the
Board Of Editors OF the college paper.
II being so difficult of attaining, only
the leading students Of an institution
aspire to il. At the head OF the dit
orial column of the "Exonian " Cf

and menaces the ron appointment
of colored men to Office.
By holy St. Paul how many mill
ions of white defaulters are now
serving terms in the penitentiaries:
How many thousands have COM
mitted suicide? If the "Herald's"
argument is good the white race
would have b, EN- blotted out of ex-
istence long ago.
The Post and the BEE are
more charitable than the Herald. "
We will not assume that the wrongs
of one white man is & blot upon the
entire white race.
Ever since the Republican VIC
tory in Maryland the white party
leaders have been nursing some
kind of excuse to side track the
colored party workers.
The bona fide eolored RepublI
cans of Maryland are honest and
upright citizens. Among some of
the many who will do honor to any
position to which they may be ap-
pointed are Lawyer Harry {. Cum
ming, Capt. 1. D. Oliver, Ash B.
Hawkins, NJ. Gibson, Geo NJ. Mat
thews, J. ". Adams, Hiram Wad-
DIV Rev. ". NJ. Alexander, l. J.
Murphy, Editor of the Afro-Ameri-
can, high-toned and educated gen.
tleman, and many hundreds Of 9TH
er men in the state who can fill any
position 10 which they may be ap-
pointed.
The action of DR.. Bryant is an
argument against the appointment
of non-resiIents TO positions. Men
who are known in the community
in which they live are be ter known
TO the people than interlopers.
The Baltimore Herald ought
to be just and judge the colored
man as it would its own race. There
are thieves among colored men, it
is not denied. But You will find
the high-toned and scientific thief
among the Caucaslans.
The position that DR.. Bryant
held. over which so much talk has
been made, is nothing more than
superintendent Of a gang OF colored
laborers who sweep the streets
Similar TO one Of our gangs on the
Avenue or ID South Washington

SENATOR BRUCE NAILS :
LIE.

One of our city Tapers published
sensational story the other day
which was telegraphed from here to
the effect that the President had de
cided not to reappoint to Office any
pt rson who had held Office under a
former admi Iistration, snd that he
had imported this information to
Senator B. K. Bruce. Mr.. Bruce
Immediately published a card in
which he used the following clean
cut language The statement is
absolutely false from beginning to
end, and does injustice TO both the
President and myself. have not
seen the President but once seen
the 4th OF March, and then merely
to paw my respects. l have had no
conversation with him in regard to
the Recorders Office or any other

wag his tail to put a whole gang of
ours to flight.

EDITOR CONN ACQUITTED.

Editor Conn, formerly the manager

criminal court last "Wednesday after
noon Mr.. Conn was represented by
Messrs. Ralston, Siddons and Bradley.
Nr. Henry E. Davis represented the
government. The case was hot con-
tested one so far as the law was con-
cerned. Mr.. Davis cited the rulings
of Judge Cole in the Chase-Taylor IL
bel case. to sustain his position. Judge
Bradley gave him 10 understand that
he took no stock in Judge Coles de-
cisions and rulings in that case. ] ldge
Bradley ably expounded the law and
covered every point that was made by
both sides.
Editor Conn received many congrat-
ulations when Judge Bradley dis
missed il.

OUR NEW PUBLIC PRINTER

Hon. Frank ". Palmer, of Chi
Gags. H., formerly Public Printer
under ex-President Harrison has
been, as The BEE predicted two
weeks ago, nominated by President
Mckinley to succeed Hon Thomas
E. Benedict. Mr.. Palmer is one
Of the best known public men in
the United States, and one Of the
best friends the colored printers
have ever had. No man has been
more friendly disposed towards col
ored printers than Mr.. Palmer, and
no man has appointed more OF
them to positions under him than
he did when he had charge of that
office. Tbs BEE has not, up tc
dste been mistaken in its predic.
tions of appointments that have
been made by President Mckinley
We congratulate Mr.. Palmer on hi
success in being appointed Public
Printer aud hope, which The Bel
believes he viii, that he will mani
fest the same liberal spirit toward
the co,ored race as he did on forme
occasions.

COMMISSIONER ROSS.

No better democrat can be found in
the District of Columbia than Mr.. Ross.
He is acceptable to all classes OF peo-
pie. irrespective Of politics, religion,
color or condition.
We believe that Mr.. Ross will be re-
appointed by President Mckinley, be-
cause he would be the best man for the
people of all classes. $50, 900 people
will rejoice at Mr.. Ross appointment.
The Washington bee., 1897-04-03
OUR COMMISSIONERS.

1t is rumored that Commissioners
Ross and Truesdell may be re-
appointed District Commissioners.
Col. Truesdell. as the BEE said a few
weeks ago, had certainly been friend
to the colored people. He has been
miSiudged, and a greatly abused man.
The Teappointment OF both Commis-
sioners will certainly be satisfactory TO
the people, not rejecting in the least
on any Of the other candidates for the
office
The Washington bee., 1897-04-03

In our next issue will be pub
