A NATIONAL RACE PAPER.

w bcHIuStOO1 II. ~, on IAC E1thi NAo1
on the occasion Of his seventh ami
versary as a newspaper man at the
Nations Capital. was rendered ban
gust by a number of the leading col
cred citizens of the Nation. Among
them were Congressman, Elk Govern
ors, Ex United States Ministers, Pro-
fessiensl Educators, Lawyers, Doctors
and other Tepresea tative mel assem-
bled at Washington On that occasion.
Mr.. Cooper Is well known from Maine
ID California and from the gulf tc tae
sea, as the fret man to undertake to
establish an illustrated e0IOred news
paper. That paper WAS the Freeman,
Of this city, at which time the present
publisher of The World was associated
with him. This paper he established
in 1888, and after running along for
several years, he found that the field
was not large enough, SO he sold out
and renewed to Washington, ID. g.
That field was already covered by a
strong paper, the Washington Bee,
edited and published by that strong
and influential writer W. Calvin Chase,
who kRows no master for bis pen.
But Mr.. Cooper sailed in, though the
prospect was discouraging, as IN his
Judgment there were silver Innings in
the clouds that GverhuDg the horizon.
From the day of its first issue his
paper has been one of the most talked
about, not only in the Capital City.
but In the states. The thousands and
millions OF voters in the many states
look upon his paper as q keynote and
piIet of the situation and their ears are
always to the ground to hear what the
Colored American Will have to say on
all public questions. The Colored
Americans views are SO sought after
by the people in the different states,
that very often some OF the leadi g
dailies ef the country will send in for
advance sheets TO knew what the
American will say on pending qucs-
tions. This, in our judgment, makes
The Colored American the lion ef the
colored press field and the kingbee of
celored journalism. When the roaring
of this great nationol lion is heard, it is
known at once that there is something
wrong or right, as the case may be, at
the Nations Capital.
For these reasons, the distinguished
gentlemen mentioned above assembled
te extend to this newspaper genius Of
celored journalism the tribute OF their
great admiration and appreciation.
They wanted to properly encourage
one who had proved himself equal to
go great an undertaking. Mr.. Cooper
IS a genial geatleman, quick as fash
OF lightning to understand problem.
he is haHdeome in physique, Of fine
address, ana any one who visits WASH

comes in contact with Mr.. Cooper,

The World produces q magnificent
likeness of him on its first page and

will show that every word we have
said was fully justified by the utter
suces on that occasion. Our advice
would be to all concerned TO keep an
