Washington is one of the most expen-
sive cities in the country in which to
live, that this is due to the high level
of prices maintained by the presence
of the federal government as large
purchaser Even at that, the private
citizen fares better than the public de-
partment, for it is well understood
fact that Washington dealers maintain
a double scale of prices-one for in
dividual customers and another at a
considerably higher level where Uncle
Sam foots his bills. The only thing,
apparently, which the government
purchases more cheaply than the or
binary business man is personal SER
vice.. 1t is so we'll understood that
those who work for the government re-
ceive less than they could earn from
private employers that every congress-
man occupies large part of his time
in advising young men and women
among his constituents not to enter
the federal service.

laws most vitally necessary to the
nation at this time"
OF course it is not usual to re-
gard the laws passed by the Con-
gress of the whole people as law
passed in interest of or for any par
ticular class or race. All the laws
of Congress for all the people, is
what it should be. With this view,
it would not perhaps be well to
claim that this Congress enacted
any special legislation or did any
thing in particular for the colored
people or for any other class of peo-
| pie, as special class.
But it is nevertheless true that
there are some very important
measures brought up during the
session just past in which the col
ored people figured very largely
and in which they had special oc-
casion to be more or less interested.
| Of that class of vile, dirty reflect
ory trace speeches often heard in
previous sessions; this Congress, it
is said, was treated to only one of
them, and this was made by Dem
! ocrat from Kentucky / do not be-
lieve, however, that the speech was
given much publicity, nor did it do
much harm, as the gentleman who
attempted to break into the lime
light by making it is what is
termed fourth rater" and a
fourth rater,' you understand, is
about the lowest congressional rat
ing-in other words, the gentleman
from Kentucky did not amount to
much, and happily the speech
against the colored man, he made,
partook largely Of the condition and
character of the man who made it.
Mr.. Tillman, the vitrol splitter,
who usually furnishes Congress
with just this sort of amusement,
did not do his usual stunt" that
is he did not make his customary
speech against the black during the
last session.
Another interesting legislative
phase of this last Congress, that
was interesting to the colored peo-
pie, was its attempt to establish a
definite and fixed designation for
those people of African extraction
who constitute large portion of
the citizenship of the United States.
There seemed. to be feeling among
large class of the statesmen, es-
pecially the Democrat members
from the South, that these people
of African extraction had no name
by which, as a race of people, they
could be separated from other peo-
pie. The question came up on a
parliamentary point inquiring into
the correctness of using the word
"colored in the school bill for the
