The observance of the hundredth
anniversary OF William Lloyd Gar

feature among the colored people of
the country. The success Of the
movement in Boston. Massachusetts,
was truly remarkable. This was
a fitting tribute to the memory of
a most deserving patriot

MIR. LYONS WANTS THE OFFICE.

10 seems that the Afro-Amerlcan
candidates for the Office of Register
.of the Treasury had arranged for
the funeral obsoquies of tho Hon.
Judson w.. Lyons. (the present oc-
.cupanD some time in April next
when his present term Of Office ex-
pires The most prominent persons
designated TO preside on that occa-
sion are the able Prof w. r. Yer
non of Qu.ndaro University. Kansas
and the brilliant Attorney s. Laing
Williams of Chicago III. Every
thing seemed 20 have been satisfac-
tory save for the disagreement be
tween Messrs. Vernon and Williams
as TO which should have the place
&c was arranged for him to vacate.
They couldn't agree.
To add 90 this embarrassment. Mr.
Lyons now announces TO the public
that he positively refuses to furnish
the corpse, and Of course if there is
no corpse there viii be no vacancy
in the office of Register of the Treas
ury. That MIR. Lyons is clinging to
life is evident from the statement
that he is being backed by the north
ern bonding companies that have
assumed responsibility for the Office
of the Treasurer of the United
States and are accordingly well &C
quainted with Mr.. Lyons manage
ment of the affairs of his office
To add to the complication. Prof.
Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee,
Alabama is said to have endorsed
the two colored men named for this
very same Office. If he has done so
he has taken counsel of the old col
ored brother, who set his trap to
catch them "a-coming and a-gwine."
If the report is true, we cannot un-
derstand how the distinguished ed
ucator can allege that he is not in
politics. if he assumes the RESPONSE
bility OF endorsing candidates for
political Offices.
Right here Il may be we'll TO state
that this attitude on his part may
account in a great measure for the
bitter and virulent attacks being
made upon him by able and influen-
tial colored men. Any man Of
prominence must expect and receive
opprobrium and Misrepresentation
that comes with such a position. We
have been of the opinion all along
that the chief officers of educational
institutions could serve their con-
stituencies best by leaving the field
Of politics to the politicians and the
statesmen. The two positions do
not as a rule harmonize well. Still,
there are exceptions to all rules and
Prof. Washington may prove the
exception.
What interests us most at this
time is the attitude of Mr.. Lyons.
He knows how to fight, scheme and
