SATISFY THE PEOPLE.

If President Mckinley is very
anxious to satisfy the people let
him appoint as one of the judges
of the Supreme Court of the

Columbia, and Mr.. Lewis ID. Wine

objections to Mr. Willet, because
he has made a first class official.
Notwithstanding the fact that he
is a democrat, he has never allow

office. He is fair ana compe-
tent official and has treated the

man may have his faults, as indeed

as any other class of American

INTERLOPERS.

The great mistake our women
make is the admission of every
blackleg who may come to this
city, into their society. In few
days the people of this city will no
doubt witness one of the most
disbolical blackmailing schemes,
to injure the reputation of high
ly respected woman, that has ever
taken place in our courts. Men
without the slightest degree of
proof, who will go upon the
witness stand and testify that they
have seen our women in a compro-
missing position with men, when
there is not the slightest proof
ought to be punished for perjury.
A woman's honor is all that she
possesses and when that is taken
away from her, by irresponsible men
for a money consideration they
should be given the most severe
punishment. The insults that are
being offered opr women are from
inen without reputation or honor.
They are the interlopers who force
themse yes Into our social circle
and placed in some public office
because they nave the power of flat
tering weak officials of the Afro
American race. Until our women
repudiate such men so long will
they be slandered by those liber-
tines and blacklegs.

Last week we mentioned the names

We have no doubt that ex collector

the colored people to see that a
proper eolored representative is
appointed. It is about time that
the wishes of the colored people be
respected to some extent. Let the
race demand the appointment.

From the Chicago, ur.,) Conservator


One of the most prominent hospitals
of the country, Cook County Hospit-
al stands among the first both in
size and character of work. No CITY
has larger hospital. and no CITY IS
there larger field Of work that in this
famous institution. Chicago physicians
show the keenest rivalry for places
on the hospital Board and immediate
" after the election of every Board
OF County Commissioners, there are
dozens Of applications for every place
on the hospital staff. Every possible
political, social and business influence
is needed to secure the places and not
until the last nomination is made,
does the contest wane
Plainly in such contest the colored
physician stands but slight chance
even in Chicago. In others cities the
colored physician stands no show at
all. No such honorS ever went TO a
colored man in any metropolitan CITY
and until the present case it was
deemed out of the question.
But time brings its changes, and
Chicago, leading in all other matters
has lead in this. The prominece of
the colored medical men of Chicago,
and especially the pre-eminence Of
DIR. Daniel II. Williams. amunp the
surgeoas. not only of Chicago, but of
the entire country, made the contest
for place in the Cook County Hos
patsl something of a hopeful work.
Besides this we have republican

a colored man who never let's pass an
opportunity to advance the interest
his people. All of these circum-
stances made ultimate success posi-
Bile. Believing there was a chance TO
win, colored citizens urged the ap-
point Of colored physician and kept
up the plea for representation by ar
guments at all times and places which
furnished opportunity.
1t was not so difficult TO secure a no.
sition on the visiting staff of the hos
pital. Colored physicians have been
thus hcnored, butplaces were largely
honorary, as all of the work is done
by the attending staff, the visiting
physicians being called in only for
consultation, For this reason ali en-
ergles were bent on securing place
on the attending staff SO that our rep
resentatlve would have active service
in the hospital.

A DIFFERENCE.

There Is a decided QlHerence
between self constituted body
and a representative one. The
first is merely body representing
their own views and possessing no
authority to represent those of any
BODY else. Trhe second are dele
gates duly chosen by bona fide
constituents and clothed with pow
ers to represent others beside
themselves. 1t is for the latter class
of individuals that people of sense
have respect. And perhaps it is
because we are not in the habit of
speaking as duly authorized dele
gates that the effect of our confer
ences and addresses is not more
salutary. 1t is trne thpt most
OF the men who engage in these
deliberations or conferences are
men of solid reputation and of
unimpeachable character as well as
good judgement. But it must be
remembered that We are in a
republic where, political deliber-
atiye bodies are representative and
not autocratlc and that whenever
bodies meet they can expect results
only commensurate with the scope
of the influence they exert on
given constituencies. To suppose
that conference of men who are
for the most part Office holders or
office seekers or who have no in.
fuence with people outside of this
city, can DO anything real or tangi-
bic in the interest Of the race is
simple nonsense. Besides while
conferences are very well in their
wav as expressions of individ-
ual will or individual desire, they
are antagonizea by the people at
large for the simple reason that
they are self constituted and do
not proceed from the people. The
address of the recent conference
NAV have been virtuously conceiv-
ed and automatically groomed,
bat was nevertheless document
representing the conjoined opinion
of the individual members only
who fathered it. We do not know
what the President thought of the
document. 1t was hot and cold
document and one can take either
horn of the deIema. But had the
document been framed by the
proper delegates Of the people he
would have been unequivocally
com plimented for his wisdom and
patriotism or he would not. Not
having heard from the people we
are unable to say what their judg
ment is; but it is clear to us that
if it is desirable to know their feel
ings 1T is proper to call together
properly accredited delegates and
get popular consensus. There is
certainly no objection to confer
ences. Let us have them and
more of them. But when We de-
sire To get true expression of
opinion from the MASSES, .et our
good people select their own repre-
sentatives. We cannot anticipate
the outcome of the conference as a
means for good, but at present we
see but little to be proud of.

MALICIOUS WIT.

IokeS that are intended to cater to
race prejudice and to foster views or
impressions that are inimical to end
brutally unjust to tow rd any element
of the population Of this country are a
sort of pleasantly from which the
humorous papers might we'll abstain,
and the circulation of which in other
papers il were better to abandon.
Wit that requires malice for its splicing
is a sort of humor that should be dis
couraged. Wit that cruelty, meanly,
and brutally stabs race is an abom-
ination.
From the Sunday Post.
The above is most commendable
utterance. 1t is an idication of a
breadth Of sentiment of which the
Post is fully capable; but to our
way of thinking Is measuraby in
consistent with some of its previous
utterances. 1t is true that wit which
implies mean and unjustifable
thrust toward race or Individual
deserves to be condemned by all
good people even when the motive
is not culpable. But wit of this
SOFT is no worse or unjustifiablt e
than the loose statements we often
see IN newspapers regarding the
actual condition of race. For
instance, we have read with sor-
row many statements made by
prejudiced editors of falsehoods
and or SIS misrepresentation aboat
the colored people, editorials and
news items charging laziness, want
of progressiveness, crime and woe.
full ignorance. These charges or
imputations have been lodged
against a whole race and calculated
and disigned to injure the race.
