Hon. B. K. BRUCE,
Following out the old maxim. that If
is never too late to do good, | beg
leave to offer my sincere congratula,
tlons on your appointment as Register
of the Treasury. There are three rea-
sons why your appointment was iusti-
fled and proper: First, that you are the
real leader of the race who is of a ma
tlonal character and prominence; sec
ond, no man SO ably filled successive
positions of honor with more credit
and ability both to his people and to
the nation than your distinguished self;
sd, your great knowledge of the
finances of the country and familiarity
with the banking institutions made
you, sir, the only available candidate,
and the President, with great concep-
ton as to who was needed in that
office, appointed you, sir, for which all
the Afro-Americans in Pennsylvania
thank him.
Senator, wishing you many years of
continued success in your political ca
reer.
| remain, yours truly,
w. J. BAILOR,
Secretary Afro-American League of
Pennsylvania.

The National Colored Protective
League, which declared that IT
would tight the confirmation of
Mr. Bruce, is an organization with
membership of officers, and not
even then can they succeed in hav-
ing tull attendance. The protest
will result in the unanimous con-
hrmatlon of Mr.. Bruce.
Hon. George w. Murray, of
South Carolina, will, it's hoped, be
seated. He has made gallant
night and he is entitled to the un-
divided support of Republican
House.
The opinion is that President
Mckinley will make few changes
in the District government. There
Is great deal of dissatisfaction
among District republicans
The boom for suffrage in the
District is taking shape. The peo-
pie are tired of the present form of
government. If the present Con-
gress refuse to take hold of the
suffrage question the next Con-
gress will.
The civil service sham laws are
still In operation. There should
be less talk and more action. Con-
gress should repeal the law beyond
all doubt. The question that the
politicians are considering is the
weakness of the republican leaders
Why don't they repeal the law and
cease this UNNECESSARY talk.
Public Printer Palmer is doing
all he can for the republicans. Mr.
Palmer is a grateful man and a
strict p rty man, who has in the
past looked out for the interest of
the republicans. The present civil
service law is farce.
Secretary Porter is wide-awake
man. He knows how to handle a
crowd in apple pie order. The
crowds at the White House have
been slim in the Presidents
absence.
Senator Pritchard will introduce
a bill in the Senate to place the Re-
corder's office upon a mere solid
foundation. There are many i'm
provements to be made in the Off
ce, and can be made if the proper
legislation is made.
There will he few surprises

CLEVER CAPTURE
 OF AN EX-C0NVICT.
J. w. GEORGIAN, WITH MANY
 ALIASES, ARRESTED.
He Broke Into a House in the West ern Addition While the Family
 Wys Viewing the Parade.

A clever capture of an ex-convict was made yesterday afternoon by Policeman P A. McNamara, and as a result a bur glar who has been probably operating in the Western Addition for some time is now safely locked up in the city prison.
 McNamara lives at 2122 Frederick street and yesterday after taking part in the parade, he went home. AS he left the house to report at the City Hall Nah Hing, the Chinese servant employed by Julian Smith, who lives next door. told him there was a thief in the house. Mc- Namara ran to the rear and saw man rushing out of Smiths house. He gave chase and captured the man at Devisa- dero and Clay streets. He took him back to Smiths house, where Policeman J. Curry was waiting; and together they searched the burglar. They found an open-faced silver watch and chain on him which the Chinese identified as his property.
 The burglar was sent to the City Prison, where a charge of burglary was booked liam Woods but the lynx-eyed Detective Bainbridge recognized him as an old timer with numerous aliases. Bainbridge had not seen him for ten years, but 1t took him less than a minute to spot him His real name is supposed to be J. W Geoeghan, but he has been known as l. C. Palmer. John Haggin, John Wilson and other names. On February Il, 1876, he was sentenced to one year in the States prison for housebreaking in Sac ramento County On June 1. 1880, he was acquitted in the Superior Court on a charge of burglary in this city. On July 3O 1881, he was given three years for bur glary; and on December 21, 1888, he got three and one-half years for attempted burglary. That was the last heard of him
