To the Editor of The Appeal:
Why ro-Americans should support
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
In the shadow of great danger the
duty of unity is imperative. This was
the sense that impelled the Virginia
patriot to warn his colleagues in the
Virginia convention that they must
hang together within that famous
body or hang separately outside.
BY patient, persistent and lnsld-
ious poisoning and embittering OF the
public mind with respect to the capac-
ity of the Afro-American for the du-
ties of freedom, citizenship and sui
frage, southern democracy has been
for the past forty years ingenlously
exploiting every weakness and IN
trinity of the Afro-American; inner
ent with long years of slavery, where
by a predicted train of progression or
consequences would render congenial
the public mind for the final act in a
national drama of disfranchisement
that would otherwise appear too harsh
for public appreciation.
When the time was favorable for
the purpose the sectional disfranchlse-
ment of the race was accomplished by
constitutional provisions and today
few Afro-American citizens, whatever
their qualifications as to character,
education or property, are permitted
to vote under the new constitutions or
the south.
Let no Afro-American be deceived;
to our enemies the times doubtlessly
appear propitious to try the issue that
overshadows all others in this cleo
ton, to-wit, shall the Afro-American
remain a citizen of this republic" p. !.
For the affirmative of this PROPOSE
ton stand Roosevelt and Fairbanks
like the twin pillars of Hercules at
Gibraltar.
The menace to the rights of the
Afro-American is immediate, threaten
ing and apparent that no further rea-
son is necessary why they should sup
port the Republican nominees r.

AN ASSISTANT CLERK.
Why the House District Committee
Should Have One.

The report of the House committee on
accounts recommending favorable action on
the resolution authorizing the appointment
of an assistant clerk for the committee on
the District of Columbia during the re-
mainder of the session, is an interesting
statement of the Importance of the com
mittee in it's relation to local and national
interests The report says:
1.-The committee on the District of Column
bia of the House is to the city of Wash
ington and the District of Columbia what
a branch of a common council Is to large
municipality. This statement will at once
convey to the mind the volume and i'm
portance of the work of the committee,
and also how inadequate is the one clerk
to the committee to properly perform all
of the required and necessary duties;
for, in addition to the handling
of the propositions referred to the com
mittee through the House, involving a
large amount of detail work in the prepara-
ton of reports thereon, the clerk is re-
uuired to answer verbal and written re-
quests of citizens of the District for in
formation concerning measures affecting
their various interests
1.-The calendar of the House most always
contains from six to ten District bills, the
reports upon which are prepared by the
clerk of the District committee; and to
keep enough work on the calendar for con-
sideration on District days unreason-
ably taxes the endurance of one clerk.
For these reasons your committee reports
the accompanying resolution favorabiy.

ASSOCIATION FORMED.
Local Stockholders in Greene Company
Consolidate

An association was formed by the WASH
ington stockholders of the Greene CONSOLE
dated Copper Company at meeting which
was held last evening a. the Riggs House,
the purpose of which as stated, is mutual
protection. 1t was further decided to send
representatives to the meeting of stock
holders to be held next Wednesday in New
York city, with instructions to present at
that time the resolution introduced by AS
sistant Secretary Taylor, of the Treasury
Department, and adopted by the meeting
requesting the management to pay a divi-
dend of ) per cent in May next and quar-
terly thereafter.
Officers We're chosen as follows: Presi-
dent, o. G. Staples; secretary, William
Hitz, and treasurer. S. S. Hoge.
The meeting was a representative one,
and of about ninety thousand shares of
stock which are understood to be held in this
city about three-fourths were represented.
Those present favored an issue of stock
as proposed in a recent circular issued by
the company rather than one of bonds
has been suggested by some stockholders
and their views will take the form of votes
at the coming meeting of the stockholders
Mr.. Taylor, s. b. Hege and W. V. Cox were
commissioned to attend the meeting. and
they will vote the proxies that have been
intrusted to them in favor of the stock
proposition.
Criticism of the company was heard as
well as words in it's defense.
The principal statement on behalf of the
company was made by Mr. w. c. Greene,
the president VINO came to this city to at
tend the meeting.
While nothing of the sort can be under
taken until the annual meeting, which is
some months off. still 1t is the opinion that
the Washington shareholders, as represent
ed in the association, ought to have a place
on the directory. 1t is not unlikely that
the Washington stockholders will unite for
the purpose of bringing this about.

THE IowA's ACCIDENT.
Fear That the Older Guns Are MOI
Strong Enough.

Immediately on receipt of the telegram
announcing the accident to the Iowa at
Norfolk, Thursday, Secretary Moody sent
a dispatch calling for full details. and
OF dering the Iowa to proceed at once to
New York for examination and repairs.
This second explosion on the Iowa within
less than year has cast a gloom over the
officials of the Navy Department. The
cause of the explosion off Pensacola last
year in which there was loss of life and
considerable damage to the ship, remains
a mystery Several boards attempted to
clear 1t up, but without definite result. I'm
til the details of the last accident are OBJ
tanned Rear Admiral O'Neill chief of ord
nance is unwilling to speculate as to the
cause.
The alarming feature of these two acct
dents Is the apprehension growing in naval
circles that the older guns of the navy are
not strong enough to permit the use of
smokeless powder in them. 1t is declared
that none of the guns on the Iowa had
been fired much over a hundred times,
and the officials discredit the theory that
the life of any of that vessels guns has
been exhausted.
1t is said that the Iowa has recently been
supplied with new allotment of powder
which had been thoroughly tested.
Just as soon as the big battle ship Iowa ar
rives at the New York navy yard for which
port she Is now bound, Rear Admiral Rodg-
ers. the senior officer at the yard, will direct
a thorough inquiry to be made into the
recent accident to the eight-inch guns OF
the starboard forward turret. The ord
nance officers here declined to discuss the
matter, being left completely in the dark
as to the cause OF such accidents. even af-
ter most sweeping investigation into the
former explosion It is felt now that to pre-
vent loss of confidence on the part of the
sailors In the safety of their weapons it will
be necessary to get at the real weakness of
the naval guns and take immediate steps
to correct them. even IL 1t involves the re-
placement of the old guns at great expense
by newer and heavier weapons,

Veteran in Police Department of Long
Service - Lieut.. Swindells
to Succeed Him.

The District Commissioners have acted
upon the application for retirement recently
made by Capt. James E. Heffner, as pub
lished exclusively in The Star at the time.
He is to receive a pension of $S5 a month,
and Lieut.. John A. Swindells is to succeed
him. Capt. Heffner, as previously stated,
has been connected with the police force
since 1869, and has had as clean record
as any member of the force ever enjoyed.
The promotion of Lieut.. Swindells was
greeted with satisfaction by every member
of the force. 1t is recognized by them that
he merited the promotion. He is beyond
doubt one of the best-educated and broad
