is to be raised, and those addicted to the
use of the weed must pay the difference.
On tobacco and snuff the tax is to be II

ing three pounds or less per thousand, the
tax is $780, weighing over three pounds,
$780, Cigar manufacturers are taxed from

Do THEY DISSEMINATED ?

Daily we read Of instances in
which provisions are being sent
to Camp Alger to the white troops
but 1t is rare thing TO see one IN
which similar interest is manifest
ed toward our colorei troops. 1t
Is difhcult for us to explain this
apparent neglect. Certainly it is
not because We lack sympathy and
pride, neither is it because We are
too poor to contribute. 1t may be
that our troops are so few in num-
Der that we hardly realize that we
are represented in the army. In
any case the fact remains that we
have brave, intelligent colored
sol iers who deserve and command
our respect. and it is high time for
our patriotic colored people t. con-
tribute toward their comfort and
happiness. Let us get together
and contribute ample provisions
for our soldier boys. They Will
not be in our midst long, and as
matter of duty and stimulus we
ought to give the soldiers hearty
cheer. We should not allow 1t that
our colored troops should leave
without our having furnished proof
Of our pride in them and Offering
some substantial token which they
may carry to the front with them.

TOO BLACK.

Report has it that Miss Moten,
the principal of the Normal school
is not pie sed with the appearance
of the graduating Normal class.
1t is inferred that the lady was not
pleased with the colors and hair of
he graduates. We do not believe
that Miss Moten is prejudiced
on account of color, bat certainly
the remark, if made by her was
subject to unfavorable interpre-
tatlon. 1t is true that the class
representative, being of the boquet
variety, but We see no objection to
that. On the contrary We should
be pleased that the class is repre-
sentative in color, If for no other
reason than that it quiets the claim
which has been set up by the crit
les Of Miss Moten that she has
hitherto Disseminated on account
of color. We hardly think that
Miss Moten could have made so
III charitable remark, but if she
did she made grievous error.

COLORED IMMUNES.

to go to Charlotte in a day or two.
which place he has decided upon as
his rendezvous for the negro immune
regiment which he will command.
The Negroes will come from Louis-

and the District of Columbia Col.
Lee intended assembling his regiment
in Raleigh, but says he was dlSCour-
aged by Gov Russell. through his
adjutant general. He says Nayor

FALSE ALARM.

That We want a colored man ap-
pointed on the Excise Board ls
most true and whether that man
comes from some state or city
other than Washington, it makes
no difference. The report that Is
being circulated, that there would
be opposition to the appointee II
he is an outsider. is false. We are
of the opinion that an outsider
would be hctter for the colOred
people. Several first class colored
pl .ces have been turned down by
the present board because they
Were colored. Many licensts have
bee n granted to undeserving people
while hundreds # good places have
not been granted whisky licenses.
The BEE would suggest the enact
ment Of a police regulation or an
act Of Congress CT perhaps it needs
no special act There are several
houses in the northwest section Of
this city, where the moment color
ed person enters the saloon for a
glass OF beer or a glass Of whisky,
the bar tender will either say I'VE
don't serve colored people, or he
will charge you dollar for bot
tie of beer or for glass of beer or
fifty cents drink for whisky.
The present Excise Board is so
prejudiced against the negro that
it over looks such impositions
upon colored citizens. Yes we
believe that it would be to the best
interest of the whisky element
in the city if An outside colored
man We're appointed We know
of cases where deserving men have
had their licenses revoked. The
sooner the Commissioners make a
Grange in the ertire personel Of
the present excise board. the bet
ter it will be for the people. The
alleged opposition to an outsider.
is false alarm.

THE BOYS TURNED THE

The graduating exercises of the
High and Normal schools of the
colored public schools, were well
attended at the Academy of Music
on last Thursday evening. The
addresses of the graduates were

oration had teen declared by the

reinserted what the censor board

out and scared those who had dis
crirninated against the negro in the
selection of soldiers for the present
war. The orator wanted to know
why were the negro Ignored and
rebels appointed or men who had
endeavored to destroy this Union.
These men are now drawn to the

OUR IMPLEMENTS.

One of the great obstacles in the
way of our progress, is Indifference
TO appearances at home as well as
In the street. Some of our race
who claim more than average intel
ligence seem to be utterly unmind-
full Of the Importance of observing
the proprieties recognized in proper
home life. This fact is especially
emphasized in their habit of keep.
ing their heads constantly out of
the windows. The ekithet chan
kerchief-head'' has been provoked
by this habit and has called forth
the disgust and ridicule of the
better classes. The habit, however,
is confined mainly to the more
ignorant class, who while they are
but little less intelligent than the
average white person, are dlscrim-
mated against for the very good
reason that they do not observe
proper appearances in their homes
and not merely b cause they are
colored There is nothing more
disgusting than to see a row of
dwellings ever. window of which

If our people would keep their
heads indoors, except when it is
necessary to do otherwise, we would
be able to secure better houses and !
inspire better feeling among the
whites. Whatever may have been
the proper thing, certainly the

thing scarcely short of a miracle to
insure the democratic party any
thing like a fair show for success.
The members of the caucus were
lshmaelitish in the extreme and
when they had completed their
deliberations it became doubtful
which won. The leader, Mr..
Bailey, was forced to accept COM
promise, which was a mere fence
built for straddling and nothing
more. There was abso utely no

AN AFTERNOON WITH
VIRGIL.

The lmprovised drama by Mrs.
A. J. Cooper, for IA and CA, was a
most unique affair and that partic-
ipants acquitted themselves most
creditably.
Why it was necessary to select a
lady, extremely fair, as Queen and
two others extremely dark, as
ladies in waiting, We cannot divine.
Most probably, "a voice from the
South" suggested this arrange

DUTY o. OUR SCHOOL

1t is only to suggest suffrage in
the District in order to bring out
the devilish prejudice and mean
ness Of the enemies of republican
institutions and especially of the
colored people. Suffrage in the
District would be just as practic-
able as it has be- n in New York
or Boston, and certainly there is
more ignorance, crime and squalor
in those cities than there ever was
here. If it is good for other cities,
it is good for this This talk about
Negro domination is absurd and
fudge, and does the opponents to
suffrage but little credit. In order
to establish monarchistlc teHden-
cies, it is not necessary to be liars

tutions do not suit. why just lease
