the negro republic. There will be
a day when the negro republic will

MRS. MCKINLEY BESTOWS FA-
VORS.

The wife OF the President has given
special permission to John Philip Sousa
"The March King" to dedicate to her
his new composition, just finished, and
which will be called "The Lady of the
White House." Mrs. Mckinley for
warded her permission last week to
the editor Of "The Ladies Home
Journal" which will publish the Sousa
composition complete in its next issue.
This magazine has also received for the
same number new and large portrait
of Mrs. Mckinley, taken few days ago
in the White House conservatory.
This is the second photograph which
the Presidents wife allowed to be
taken within ten years, the first por-
trait taken Of her since 1887 having
also gone to "The Ladies Home Jour-
nal, which published it in its last Oc-
tober number, causing the entire edi-
ton of that issue to be exhausted.

THE OLDEST IN THE COUNTRY.

DR.. s. Madden Pierre has the unu-
sual distinction OF having signed the
death certificate Of the oldest person
yet known TO have existed in the Unit
ed States, namely Mrs. Matilda Delilah
DeShields, who died from pneumonia,
in this city, last week at the remarka-
Bile age of II3 years. A brief sketch
of her history, taken from the Evening
Star. is as follows:
"Mrs. Matilda Delilah Shields,
widow of James H. Shields, and grand
daughter of Richard Henry Potomax,
an Indian chief, died last week at the
residence of her daugher, Twenty
sixth street, between ID and E streets.
aged II3 years. Mrs. Shields was born
at Indian Head in the latter part of the
last century, and attained an age
which has probably never been equal
ed in this section of the country, or
seldom in any part of the world.
She leaves one son and two daugh-
ters, thirty grandchildren and thirty
five great grandchildren. Mrs.
Shields, it is thought, inherited the
hearty constitution of her Indian ar
cestors. MIR. Shields has lived in this
locality nearly all her life. She was
born when the United States were in
their infancy, and lived to see Wash
ington emerge from a small village
into gr, at city. recognized rs one of
the most magnificent capitals in the
world.
Her memory went back to the time
when, less than decade and a half
before, the independence of the coun-
try had been announced. The funeral
of this remarkable woman took place
at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church.

COMMISSIONER j. w. ROSS.

There is no man in this city
more highly esteemed and appre-
ciated by the people than Commits
sioner John w. Ross. The people,
irrespective of color, religious creed
or politics, would regret his retire
ment from the Board of District
Commissioners.
THE BEE is not aware of any
man who has ever been on the
Board of Commissioners stronger
in the hearts of the people than
Mr.. Ross. He is a father to the
poor and counsellor to he injur-
ed and agrieved The busy body

you say in your first proposition, to
wit: THAT the cuStodianship of the
insane, legally adjudged, carries with
it certain rights and responsibilities. 4"
But, even though they have been ad-
judged insane, does that preclude
them from consulting with an attorney
if they so desire it? Many person
has been committed to an asylum,

beth - that, upon thorough investi-
cation, it has been shown that they
should not have been committed, or
that, at this time, are entitled to re-
lease. There may be others, and
probably there are, who are confined

To your second proposition, to wit:
THAT If | was unfortunate enough to

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
from the Daily Post.

From the Daily Post
"RadicaI changes in the postal sys.
tenn are called for in bill introduced
Monday by Mr.. Adamson, of Georgia.
He proposes making every post-office
money order office; keeping every
railway post-office open at all times,
and stations open for reception of
mails, and that new poSt-ofhce shall
be established at any point on a pub
lie road outside the limit of an in
coporated community, whenever ap-
piled for by twenty-five citizens, vest
ing discretion in the Post-office
Department if the proposed office is
within two miles of an existing office.
For the appointment of postmasters
the bill requires recommendation of
both Senators of the state, except
where divided, when !he appointment
is left 10 the Representatives Of the
district. The department is also re-
quired to furnish copy of charges
against postmaster to him and allow
answer.
This is scheme to prevent the
President from appointing negro
postmasters. Of course no demo-
cratic Senator South would recon-
mend a colored postmaster, no
matter how deserving he may be.
Suppose Senators fail or refuse to
recommend? Then no postmaster
will be appointed.
If such a scheme is carried
through, as the bill suggests, the
citizens of town would have no
say in the matter, but the Senators
would have a monopoly. The
Senators would in this case, have
the right to name all postmasters,
while the real representatives of
the people would have nothing to
say. The bill is unconstitutional.

thus acting | would be actuated by
me re than party duty and pride.
| would be filled with the feelings
that coursed the veins of the loyal
Americans when they enthusiastically
and triumphantly elected Gen. Grant.
in 1868
He had by his superb generalship
saved the nation from its armed foe in
a contest that ragged with bloody fury
for four years ent .Iling the loss of mill
ions of lives and billions of property.
While Senator Hanna rendered a pa
triotic service last year second to Cen
eral Grant only in that he did not have
to suppress an armd rebellion.
The country withered under blight
of four years of reck and ruin.
Want and despair peeped In the door
of one half of the people of this great
nation. Every interest and industry
trembled beneath the influence of that
unfortunate period.
The people turned as they always
do in their hour of distress to the Re-
publican party for relief and the party
gave them Mckinley as the standard
bearer and Hanna as manager.
How well the standard bearer and
the manager performed their duties
you have but to behold reopened in
dustries, reestablished confidence and
restored prosperity.

not only party but a patriotic duty
the Ohioans are performing when they
re-elect Mark Hanna to the Senate.

WHAT | SAW AND HEARD.

An alleged negro protective asso-
ciation will protest against the con-
irmation of Register Bruce. Well
that is about all negro asssocia-
alton does anyway.
There are only three men con-
sldered in the fight for iudg. of the
Police Court, Messrs. O'Donnell
Kimball and Pugh. Certainly the
President will not reappoint Kim
bali.
The Civil Service Commission
will confer with republican leaders.
General Harries has appointed
Capt. Arthur Brooks major Of the
First Separate Battalion. The
BEE predicted his appointment
some tie ago, and Gen. Harries
is to be congratulated.
The School Board of Trustees
will receive few surp ises at the
next meeting. What it is you
may imagine.
There is still need for change
in the industrial department of the
colored schools. The colored
schools IN general need reorganiza-
ton
1t is very surprising to note the
great number of prisoners that are
reported in our Jail, to find that a
majority of them are co,ored. Are
our churches doing their duty to
lesson crime in this city? Is the
press doing its duty? We should
do all in our power to lessen crime
in this city. The p, ople should do
their duty. I mean those who are
not Unidentified with the church.
Mr.. Gaines, of Kentucky, will
call to see the President on his re-
turn to ascertain why he was not
appointed register of the treasury.
Of course the President will in
form him-because he appointed
Mr.. Bruce, and as there could only
be one register MIR. Bruce was ap-
pointed. See!
The Hon George w Murray is
a hustler from way back, and it is
hoped that he will be seated. Mr..
Murray is thorough race man and
a gentleman.
The politicians were consulting
in front of the General Post Office
department on last Wednesday.
MIR. Gaines, of Kentucky, Capt.
Lyons, ex- Congressman Murray and
others. Of course Mr.. Gaines will
be taken care of, and will, no
doubt, be sent abroad. The minis
tership to Liberia is still vacant.

no doubt.
