IN The FOOTSTEPS OF The MASTERS.

The two stellar musical events of the
season-the artistic production of "rhe
Pirates of Z, Dzauce." by Director j.
Ill Lewis and the thorough perfOr-
nance Of the Washington permanent
chorus and concert baod under the
leadership of Mr.. Ellie S. Hoffman,
awakened this city anew to its marvel
Gus possibilities ia the realm Of first
class music. These gentlemen have
workei hard and successfully in the
interest OF Negro development, bat
their financial returns have been light
when the value of the service is calmly
considered. No other men here could
have done so we'll. and few would have
attempted suoh stupendous tasks. We
are proud of them and glory in the
fact that they are to remain f)r further
usefulness in the National Capitol.
Professors Lewis and Hoffman de-
serve the unq Ialifed thanks of Wash.
ington's cultured populace and when
ever they offer program, no one
should be churlish enough to tail to
buy ticket to guarantee a financial
result commensurate with the artistic
side they are sure to present.

LIEUT. FLlppER SHOULD BE RESTORED.

The friends of Lieut.. Henry o.
Flipper, though having met many dis
couraging rebuffs, have not given up
all hope of securing his restoration to
the United States army, from which he
wss summarily and unjustly dismissed
some years ago. Memorials are being
drattt d in several states, and wilt be
presented to the Congressional delega-
tions, with a view of influencing fav
orable action at the next session. This
course is eminently proper and we
trust it will prove effective in remedy.
ing as gross an outrage as was ever
perpetrated upon an army officer. We
have never believed that Lieut. Flip.
per was guilty of any wrong-doing;
but had he even committed some tech
meal vic alton of law, the punishment
meted out to him was cruel and un-
usual. 1t would be no more than right
for Congress now to take the view that
he has suffered enough, and vote to
give him back as far as possible the
clean record that was and is bis by
every natural right. Our people
should v ork on their congressman 10
IN the several districts and try to do
their best to help Lieut.. FlIpper's just

A PURELY disinterested endorsement
of Senator Whitehead's candidacy comes
from the Madison Democrat and the
fattering estimate of his personality is
well worth repeating:
"Here is Senator Whitehead out for
the governorship and of all republican
aspirants one of the most satisfactory
from every standpoint. In legislative
career of sufficient duration to demon
strate his character and worth he stood
the test so we'll that few there are who
can say aught against him. His manner
is that of an honest man and his record
on the multifarious measures on which
he must vote as a law-maker contains
nothing to alter the good impression
formed from personal association. He is
a reformer, but in a conservative way
that seems to comport well with the
healthful tendency of the times, and is
classed both as friend of the electric
Mr. La Toilette and of the other fellows
who are supposed to be insulted against
the magnetic methods of that galvanic
gentleman. In this difficult position of
equilibrium Mr.. Whitehead displays the
possession of temperate and concilia-
tory spirit quite remarkable"

DEMOCRATIC MAYOR-REPUBLICA
COUNCIL.
The Result of Our Municipal Election OF
the Largest Vote Ever Cast

For the sixth time Andrew Jensen was
chosen mayor of Edgerton Tuesday by
the votes of the majority of the electors
of the city. The election proved a pretty
warm contest for the head of the ticket
and some of the ward nominations,
though there were no strictly party
tickets placed in the field. A larger vote
was polled than was ever before cast in
our city, the total being 595, as against
568 year ago. There has been large
floating vote present at the spring cleo
tion late years that are not in town in
the fall and the uncertainties Of this
vote often occasions some surprises. The
net result of Tuesdays vote is that We
have a democratic mayor and an unani-
mously republican board of aldermen.
The democrats also capture the office of
supervisor in the second ward, while
the balance of the officers elected are
republicans, though the contest in one
or two instances was uncomfOrtably
close. Mr.. Jensen has been so often
honored with the office that his present
majority ought to be sufficient endorse
ment that his administration of city
affairs had been reasonably satisfactory.
Mr.. G.. L. CultOn, who made the run
against Mr.. Jensen, had a strong follow
ing and made the best showing of any
republican candidate the party put up

thy and another voter arrived at the
polls just too late to vote or the contest
might have been tie on this office. The
vote for assessor was tie which was de-
c9ided in favor OF the democrats. The
