Now because President Cleve- land has seen fit to nominate a col- ored democrat the whole country is upinarms.

The colured people must learn how toact wisely in matters of pub lic interest. The recent VIRGINIA convention failed to nominate a democratic candidate. Itis thought that there will bea division iu the 8th Virginia District. Mr. Frank Huneis a strong man who has the people with him. If there isa division inthe District, the republicans will put a man in the field. Among those will enter fo» congressional honors are I. C. O’Neal aud Lewis McKeuny.

It has been said that Mr. Bruce will run for Congress in the 3rd Mississippi District. If be gets the nomiva tion there is no doubt but what he will be elected. There is nothing mean about Mr. Bruce. ——_ > —_____ FRENCH FUN. The conversation turned on the a ff- e ice of ages between married peopie. ‘“‘As for me,” remarked Calino, “T remember that when I was mar- ried, my wife was just nine years the younger.” “Well! and how do you stand to-day ?” asked gome one. This question perplexed 'the poor thick-headed husband. “Oh !—ab !—I really can’t say!

He is perfectly competent for the cfli-e with fa-| jin the rear of the hall that it was our intention so to do. He did not then decline. Tue editor of the Fieeman makes a mistake in treat- ing the Press men in this way. To run people one must heed not to slight his brethren nor fling their offices to their faces. We have known him tor yearsand hope to see him arrive at even greater things.— American Baptist. The action of Mr. Fortune is no surprise to the Editor of the Bee. When the committee reported the name of Mr. Fortune, as chairman of the Executive committee, Mr. Chase of the BEE objected, and nominated the venerable Editor of the Chicago Conservator in bis place. Mr. Clark and the other members ot the committee asserted that Mr. Fortune would accept, hence Mr. Clark declined to run. It serves the committee right and if it were possible the BEE would besmere the committee with bad honey, but, as the motives of the committee were good, the BEE will forgive the baby committee and look for another man. It is now the duty of Mr. Simmons to fill Mr. Fortunes’ place. For God’s sake let Mr. Fortune alone. AN EXAMPLE IN ADDITION, “What are youdoing, Reginald?” asked Reginald’s wife, as she saw him lay down the two year old, and takeup thetwin babies who were erying like good ones. “Ouly an example in addition, my dear,’ he responded, wearily. ‘sT don’t understand.” “I put down one, and am carying two, that’s all, and he began the midnight walking match.——Tid Bits. <2 - Important.——AIl persons aftlict- ed with rheumatism, neuralgia, sore throat, pains in the back or limbs, apra ns, bruises, ete., should know that Salvation Oil is what they need.

It is said that Mr. Benedict is a practical manu and friendly dispos.d toward the colored people. This act alone is commendable on the part of the President, in appointing a man who has no prejud ces. Mr. Gil- bert Benedict, brother to the new Public Printer, assumed charge, as chief clerk, Tuesday morning.
