Mr.. Murphy was born in this city.
After receiving smattering of an ed

ed in one Of the colored regiments
duriug the Civil War, and afterward
did w6jtevwashing jobs in the homes of

hand printing outfit on Thanksgiving
day, 1890, and then set about to learn
his trade Having gained some expert
epce in journalistic work by acting as
the Baltimore correspondent of the
New YaR1h. Agesyhe began the publica-
ticn aftthe Sunday School Helper. He
afterwaaf STARTED the Standard, but
that venture waz not successful. EARLY
In 1898, he purchased the Afro-Ameri-
can then a struggling sheet, giving his
personal notes to cover the purchase
price. He afterward secured control
of the. Ledger, another weekly, and
combined the two. While the struggle
was many times hard and often dis,
hearteping, he stuck manfully to the
work, and to-day the Afro-American
Ledger ! is one of the best known and
best paying race journals in the coun-

Lewis to be Made Assistant Attorney
.,... s... General


.r. =. General
Those best informed as to the in
tention OF the administration are
giving themaslyes no uneasiness as
to the appointment OF William H..
Lewis as Assistant Atorney-General.
There has never been any doubt
about the matter since the President
committed himself .irrevocably to the
selection OF ME- Lewis several weeks
ago. The Chief Executive never per-
mits himself to become excited and
all Of his actions are the result of
careful deliheration. Mr.. Lewis ap-
pointment was decided upon after g.
full and frank consultation with At
torney-General Wickersham, Secre-
tary Norton and a number Of respon-
sfble leaders OF both races. The
President thoroughly satisfied him
self touching the competency, avail
ability and acceptability Of the Drill
liant Massachusetts attorney before
making up his mind. Hence, there is
no warrant for the apprehension felt
In some quarters that there may be
some hitch in the program. The
likelihood objection on the part
of certain "bourbons" was duly con-
sidered In advance, and promptly
overEuled as trivial and irrelevant.
Naturally, there is anxiety on the
part of Mr., Lewis friends that the ap-
pointment be made at the earliest
moment possible, but there Is every
assurance that this will be done.
Congress convenes next Monday, and
1T is pretty certain that the name OF
Mr.. Lewis will go to the Senate with
in the fewest of days. The designation
OF Mr.: Lewis, like those Of Governor
Pinchback and Mr.. Napier, has met
with the unanimous approval Of the
race throughout the country, and the
President would not dream Of dis
appointing the reasonable expecta-
tions of his loyal republican support
ers. The insignificant contingent Of
doubters who fear the administration
may be frightened out of it's course
by trumped-up protests furnish a
striking example Of the wish being
the father of the thought. 1t can
be put down as one of the certainties
of the next fortnight that William
Henry Lewis will be named as an AS
sistant Attorney-Genefal Of the IUnit-
ed States. -
