An Apocryphal Prophecy.

Editor The Washington Herald;
A Protestant Bible containing the Apoc-
rypha is now exceedingly rare. but The
Catholic Bible has all the Ap0cry7haI
books save three. namely. two books Of
Esdras and the Prayer Of Manassas.
In the second book Of Esdras, as trans
lated in the Protestant edition. there is
an unequivOcal prophecy Of the coming Of
Jesus Christ as follows.
For my Son. Jesus. shall be revealed
with those that be with him. and they
that remain shall rejoice within four hun
dred years. and after those years shall
my Son. Christ. die. and all men that
have life III ESdrag I'll .1S91.

That the negro seems 20 have been
born n stanCh friend Of the white man
goes without saying. A mastin faithful
though he be. was never more true to
his master than the cOIored man has
been. and is. to the white man. Even
when the colored man was bound down
in the shaclIles of slavery he entertained
a kind and loving feeling in his heart for
his master Treat him wrong to-day. and
he will forgive you tomorrow. Though
he is often knocked about and kicked
about by his white brother, he harbors
no ill-feeling in his heart The coiored
people are more Christ-lilIe in this re-
spect than any race of people on the face
of the earth.
When looking for criminals the au-
thoriues should know no man BY the

to the officers of the law. But il seems
that the search for the guilty ones
should be OF such that will admit OF no

selves to searching among the colored
people only? Have all the rest OF the
people gotten above suspicion when II

Paying for Land Frauds.

Editor The Washington Herald;
The proposition by the House 20 compel
the District to pay half of the cost OF
prosecuting the parties charged with the
land frauds I'm the Western States is sim
ply an Infamous outrage.
The excuse given is that the trial is TO
be held in the District Why? Simply
because it is alleged that the conspiracy
TO commit the fraud was concocted in
the Land Office OF the general govern
ment, which is located in the District.
Admitting that II was, what had we to
do with it? The citizens Of the District
have nothing whatever 20 do with the
Land Office or with its management. and
nothing 20 do with the suit II is wholly
an affair OF the United States govern
ment IN which we have no part what
ever. except To bear our portion OF the
expense in common with the citizens OF
the entire country That we do as the
report Of the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue FOR 1901 (the latest I haveJ shows
that the 27S.7lS inhabitants OF the Dis
trict that year paid $3.50 1866. an average
Of S2.A per capita. while the $4,000 in
habitants Of fifteen States and four Ter
ritOTes paid but So cents per capita, or
less than one-fourth as much.
Suppose that in the suits for land fraud
which have been conducted in the West
eru States 1t had been proposed that the
city or town in which the trial was had
should pay half OF the expense, what
would be thought Of it And Yet il would
have been as just and as proper as il is
