The CENSUS OFFICE,

The ''heads' at the Census office
realize that The ColOred American is
deadly in earnest in exposing the high
handed discrimination that has been
practiced for two years against the
cololed clerks in that establishment.
We hear all about the petty annoy
ances to which capable Negro g nploy'
ees have been subjected. We hear OF
the unfair markings, aid the policy of
transferring efficient men and women
to rob them of their places in the line
of promotion. There was at one time
perhaps seventy FIVE oolored clerks in
the office, and had all been kept for
the permanent census, our quota would
not have been larger than the race
honestly deserved. Seventy five out
OF nearly 900 people, to be retained
permanently, would not have been too
much for the cOlored people, who make
republican success possible by standing
s)lidly together for the party in the
doubtful states of the North and West,
There are now from twelve TO fifteen
Negro clerks employed, with chance
of reduction by July 1st that will
wipe nearly every one from the rolls
unless halt ih called by somebody
high in authority. We are of the
opinion that the Director will see a
great light before long, and if many of
the decapitated Negroes cannot be re-
stored, the few that remain will be
given better show for their rights 1t

GRANT,

The celebration of General Grants
eightieth birthday should have been
more generally observed among our
people. To no one man do we owe
more for our freedom than to this grand
warrior. It was his military prowess
that made the emancipation proclama-
ton more than piece of paper. HIS
vigorous arm guided us through the re.
construction period, when a weaker
character would have compromised US
into eternity. He lived in day OF 70.

statesmen of the ConBling, Morton and

FAR SIGHTED UNCLE Sam"

It is not for us to utter single word
of objection to the proposed investlga-
tion of the alleged outrages upon natives
in the Philippines. If there is evidence
that women have been debauched, that
property has been confscated, that
drunkenness has been prevalent and
that the terrible ''water-cure" has been
applied, the truth should be brought
to the surface, to the end that the prop
er reforms may be instituted and the
guilty persons punished.
But isn't ''Uncle Sam" a trife
far-sighted in the discernment of cut.
rsges and crimes against civilization ?
Why use telescope to sweep the
horizon for wrong doing when the cries
of lynched Negroes can almost be
heard al the White House and the odors
from the funeral pyre fall scarcely
short of the Capitol, where Congress is
engaged in solving the problem of gov
erpment? 1t is to the credit of the
nation that it is prompt to respond to
the appeals of a people who are not
even our adopted brethren as yet, but
it is not to the nations credit that the
supplications of millions of native
Americans, of one blood and one kind
red, are permitted to fall upon deafen-
ed ears. 1t is not to the nations credit
that in its quest for gold, for power. for
territory and for commercial grandeur,
that the spirit of anarchy, waited up
from Tyler, Palmetto, Tuseumbia and
Lake City, Is passed over in silence
and cur wall for protection is drowned
by the chink of the money changer.
Yes, help the rebellious Filipino, and
carry TO him the blessings Of our occi-
dental civilization, but, in the name of
heaven, let US not forget that charity
begins at home and that he that careth
not for his own is worse than an
infdel, for he has thereby denied the
faith.
While investigations are in order,
we move the immediate passage of the
Irwin bill to provide for Freedmen's
Inquiry Commission.
