r. w. Dutton Chic. Engineer of the
Fire Department, has forwarded to the
Commissioners a communication from
whitman Osgood. manager of the Acad-
envy Theatre, relative to the detailing of
fireman for duty on the stage of the Acad-
envy at every performance. Mr.. Osgood
asks that the fireman be detailed in full
| uniform, and that he be especially
equipped as the Chief Engineer may deem
| necessary and desirable.
Chief Dutton. in forwarding the request
| to the Commissioners says: AS Mr.. Os-
good states. the detail of a fireman on the
stage of theatre during every perform
| ance therein is a practice followed, if
| not required, In many cities of this coun-
try, and the department agrees with Mr.
| Osgood that the presence of an experience
ed and trained fireman on the stage Of a
| theatre would afford better protection
| against fire, for such a man would. It is
believed, not only be able to render
prompt and effective service Ia the event
of a fire, but would also that all the
appliances required to be supplied by the
proprietors of the theatre were on hand
and so kept as to be ready for instant
use
IL therefore have the honor to request
that this department be authorized to
comply not only with Mr.. Osgood's re-
quest, but be also authorized to detail "A
member thereof for duty on the stage OF
every other theatre in the District during
every performance given therein.

report that instructions have been given
the Fire Marshal and his assistant to in

which produced the widest enthusi-

Senator Foraker reminded the Dem
ocrats Of the fact that they seemed
to be completely lost for an issue,
when their state convention was in
session few days prior, but should
they have waited until the president
entertained the noted colored edu-
sator at a public dinner, they would
have had an issue on which to fight
their present campaign. He also in
formed them that President Roose-

William Mckinley would be carried
out by the daring and dashing young
president, Theodore Roosevelt in

Of Men and Things in the
Public Mind
WATTERSnN,S WANTS.


Blue Grass state, so comes the re-
port, is figuring on capturing the
next presidential nomination Of the
Democratic party, No man in the
South has gained so much public
notoriety as Henry Watterson, the
noted editor Of the Courier Journal,
and, if he has decided to enter the
race for the presidential nomination,
he will make it warm for William
Jennings Bryan and David Bennett
Hill, both of whom are already seek
ing this partisan honor. To be NOM
mated for president by the Demo-
cratic party is nothing more nor less
than an empty partisan honor, and
will be for years yet to come; never
theless there are always men who are
anxious for such honors, more for
the notoriety that it gives them than
for the hope that they will ever be
president Of the United States.
While Mr.. Watterson half-heartedly
supported Mr. Bryan in 1900, he was
in open rebellion against him in
1896, and as a,result Kentucky in
1896 went overwhelmingly Republi-
can for the first time since the Re
publican overthrow in 1875. This
Of itself shows that he is an able man
and with powerful following; yea,
even dangerous to the success Of the
Democratic party, if he elects to op-
pose its presidential nominees, and
there is no doubt but that he will 90

a strong following for the presiden-
tial nomination.

VIRGINIA SCHOOL TEACHERS.

AprOpos the proposition of the
state Of Virginia to disfranchise all
Of the colored voters therein, re-
minds the writer that there are at
present in that state 21,171 colored
men and women teaching in the
public schools, and each one Of them
holding certificates Of proficiency
passed upon and issued by the best
educated white men and women in
the Old Dominion state. Tt is rather
remarkable that in the face of such
an educational status that there
would be a disposition on the part
Of the white folk Of that state to dis
franchise men, not so much for lack
Of education on their part, as on ac-
count of the color Of their skin. Evi-
IDENTIFY those people have been MAX
ing Herculean efforts to reach the
goal Of education, such as is charac-
teristic of the people Of this country,
and they should be encouraged in
their efforts, rather than reconsign-
ed to a semi-slave condition. Tf
within three and a half decades 81
III cOlored persons have qualified
themselves to hold teachers certif-
Gates in Virginia and probably as
many more have as we'll qualified
themselves from an educational
standpoint to engage in other lines
OF business, the cry Of the Negro be-
ing too ignorant to vote seems to be
wholly without foundation. There
may have been a time when such
was true, and it may be that there
are quite a few of them still in such
former condition, but rapid strides
are being made by the mem
bers OF the race to fit themselves for
American citizenship, and the boon
should be granted them in its fullest
and freest sense.

A LECTURE TO PARK Err.

1t is surmised by this paper that
James B. Parker did not strike down
the slayer OF President Mckinley Ill
order to make public hero and idol
Of himself, and, If he did do it with
that intention, then The Republican
has no respect whatever for the man.
1t was very generally supposed that
Parker did what he did as an act of
bravery and heroism, with no idea
Of what the future would bring for
him so doing. Since that time, how
ever, if reports be true, Parker is 60
! ing from town to town in the East
whining about somebody trying to
steal the honor from him of saving
the president, which is as puerile
and schoolboyish as anything could
be- If the public officials are not
disposed to make a golden calf out
OF Parker and elevate him on a ped
estal in the national capitol there is
no good and sufficient rea-
son for general complaint
either on the part Of Mr..
Parker or the race to which he be-
longs for not doing so. Parker did
his duty as a man and a citizen. He
knows that he did, and the world for
the most part knows and believes it.
Ii that Is not honor enough for any
good American citizen, then the
writer has no conception of the
words good citizen" That the
monster color prejudice played some
part in Parker being lost in the
shuttle there is no question, but
whining as much or as long as he
will or may over it will not make his
case any better, and there is no
doubt but the better thinking class
OF American people will eventually
90 the right thing by Parker, if in
the meantime, he does not make a
fool Of himself. He did a noble act
and is deserving Of the highest
praise, but for him to make a pub
llc nuisance Of himself will make his
case worse than if he had never been
found after he hal struck down the
slayer Of the president.

PRAISES WASHINGTON STATE.

From Atlanta, Ga, comes the
Constitution, bearing the glad It'd
ings that c. L. Wheeler, Of the state
Of Washington, is being royalty re-
ceived by the people of that section.
Mr.. Wheeler is one of Washington's
most favored sons and is held in the
highest esteem by every man, wom-
an and child herein. In speaking to
the Constitution for publication, he
said: washington is a great state
for any one with a small capital
looking for a home. There are
thousands of acres of government
land that can be had for the settling
and still other thousands of better
land that can be bought form the
railroads at a nominal figure on long,
time payments, with small interest ,
all Of which is more than true. and Il
IS hoped that Eastern people will
read the above statement with mncb
profit to themselves.

THE PRESIDENTS GUEST.

That part Of our country known
as the South IS badly stirred up at
present over the TACT that President
Roosevelt entertained Prof. Booker
L. Washington at d state dinner d
lew days ago. The Democrats hail
ing from tnat section say that they
Will not hold office under a president
VINO Will entertain a ''nigger" at an
Official dinner III the White House.
That those Southern people are as
crazy as bedbugs has been very ap-
parent Tor 10 these many years, but
That they are now III d state of delir-
lum tremens IS plaln to be seen by
their actions, as to the entertain
ment Of Mir. Washington by the
president. They will mold all the
Offices they can get their hands on.
Ihat IS tnelr history, whether the
offices come from President Koose-
yelt or from Booker L. Washington.
When the news was taken to the
president he shrugged his shoulders
and gave his intormers to under
stanu that there will be no color
line IN my administration, and Mr..
Washington will not be the only
man OF color that will be entertain
ed as my guest during my incum-
bency OF the office" Here is a man
with a backbone, regardless Of what
he may subsequently do as to his
Southern policy. here is a presi-
dent who will do his duty or die in
the attempt, and of all OF the mans
qualifications this is the most com
mendable one.

THOSE MANILA OUTBREAKS.

Fatal outbreaks in Manila are be-
ing frequently reported, in which
quite a few of the insurgents as we'll
as the United States soldiers are
killed in skirmishes that take place
between the two. The war in the
Philippines Notwithstanding this is
quite over, and, as was reported some
months ago, nothing but guerilla
war prevails in those islands. If our
troops so far forget themselves as to
allow the natives to bushwhaek them
it is their carelessness, rather than
the natives proves in war. How
ever, more care should be taken by
the war department and the generals
in command to prevent such mas
sacres as have been reported within
the past month The Ninth infan-
try, company with a history, was
recently surrounded and almost cut
to pieces by the natives. An oppor-
tunity, however, was given to the
Ninth infantry few days later to
attack a company of natives, and
they killed over a hundred of them,
not granting any quarters to the
wounded, and putting everyone
they could get in reach of to imme-
diate death. This is heartless, cruel
and unchristian-like, and some steps
to prevent a Recurrence of such
should be taken by the proper au-
thOrities.

HELP YOURSELF FIRST.

Much is being said and written
throughout the country at present
on the subject "What to Do With
the Negro" From the standpoint
of the black man in this country,
the question would be far more ap-
plicable if it would read, "What Will
the Negro do with himself?" It is
not in the province of one race of
people to make positions, places and
ayocations in life for another dis
tinct race or class Of people Each
race is expected to shape its own
destinies so as to reap its own rich
rewards, and while the colored race
Of this country is working against
odds, nevertheless, its success de-
pends almost solely on its own ef-
forts. The black man must learn to
do anything and everything that
comes to hand, and he must learn to
Go that with accuracy and dispatch.

sCHLEY'S CASE ENDING.

1t is with a degree of satisfaction
that the public is informed that the
Schley court Of inquiry is nearing its
end. What its final decision will be
is prOblematical, but it is more than
likely that the court of inquiry will
come no nearer settling the vexed
question that has been agitating the
minds of the public since the mem
orable battle Of Santiago, which re-
suited in the total annihilation Of
that splendid Spanish fleet that
came to the American waters for the
purpose of bombarding and destroy
ing American industries, than it has
been. The evidence that has been
brought out is of a contradic-
tory character in every particular.
Schley's friends testify Of his bravery
and SIMPSONS friends Of his cow
ardice as well as Of his total inability
to command a great naval fleet. It
will be a hard matter for even a
George Dewey as judge advocate to
decide who is right, and it is sur
missed that he will leave the general
public to draw its own conclusions
and settle the question as suits it
best

REALM OF
RELIGION
Among the Worlds Christians
and Quasi Christians.
UNGAINLY CHURCHES.

UNGAINLY CHURCHES.
A very general complaint is being
registered in this country by leading
church folk deploring the ungainly
appearance Of the various church
edifces and the general lack Of archi-
lecture, sculpture, paintings, etc., to
be found on the walls where the con-
gregations are more than able to
have them. 1t is claimed that even
in Gotham, where the congregations
are able to erect billion-dollar
churches without feeling the ex-
pense, this same lack Of art and ar
chitecture are painfully apparent. 1t
is claimed by some that if the
churches would study art more and
show better taste in erecting and dec
Grating their churches, there would
be more persons in attendance at
their Sunday services.
