CLAIMED TO BE AN
ARMY OFFICER
Now Driving Coal Wagon.

A young man arrived few weeks
ago, wearing an, officers uniform
(Which had seen severe service) and
the gold bar of second lieutenant.
He claimed to be Lieut.. Robt. G. Smith
of the Tenth Cavalry. After receiving
every courtesy within the gift of sew
eral friends, who had become inter-
ested in him, he proved to be an i'm
poster. An investigation by the mill
tary authorities was asked for by Capt.
Chas. Sumner Smith. The young man
was found to be a mysterious char
acter. He would give no information
as to his former whereabouts. He was
treated as an army officer while under
investigation, receiving every due
courtesy and privilege, also while at
Ft. Smelling, until it was decided that
Mr. Smith was man without honor.
He was stripped of his official insignia
and put in command of a team Of
mules hitched to coal wagon. Now
he is regarded as deserter or Stacker
and held by military authorities.

coLoRED APPLICANTS REJECTED

The Bee desires to emphasize iti
protest against the wholesale discrim
ination in the Government depart
ments against colored applicants who
have successfully passed the civil
service examination. What does II
mean? The Bee again asks. The col
ored Americans are loyal to this Gov
ernment and they are doing every
thing in their power to aid the Ad
ministration in the successful prose
cution of this war. What offense car
be charged against colored Ameri
cans? The Bee asks again. The bars
have been lifted so that q certain IA
vored class can pass muster without
an examination, while another class
is compelled to enter examination and
after passing successfully is rejected
What does it mean? A declaration
has been reported to this office to the
effect that no colored people will be
appointed by this particular Official
In response to the request made by
The Bee last week, many persons
have announced that they have been
rejected by the departments. It is
necessary that every colored person
who has been rejected send in his OF
her name at once. These names will
be presented to the proper heads al
once.
Advertisements are being published
daily that the Government is in need
of clerks and other employees for wal
work. Hundreds of colored Americans
have applied and been rejected, and
white ones cannot be obtained. Mes
senger boys have been advertised fol
and colored people have applied, only
to be refused. Is the assistance OF
colored Americans needed? If So
they are willing and ready to respond
to their country's call.
If they are needed, and the Govern
ment is in need of help, why reject
colored applicants? Show one black
traitor in the ranks of colored Amer
leans and The Bee will show you one
million loyal colored Americans to one
black traitor. The Bee appeals to the
President of the United States to di.
rect the heads of his departments to
lift the bars of discrimination against
the colored Americans. They are
competent and loyal. Then why re-
ject them?
Every Southern railroad discrimi'
mates against the colored people with.
out just cause. They are treated as
cattle when riding South. They aye
directed to a box car with no con.
veniences. Does the colored Amer.
ican deserve such treatment? Mr.
President, we are with you, and, in
the name of God, see that we are
given a fair deal.-The Washington
Cd. CO. Bee.
