ANOTHER FIGHT BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND SENATE. The nomination of Mr. James Mr. Trotter, of Massachusetts for Re- corder of Deeds in the District of Columbia, was sent to the Senate Monday by the President. It the President has a right to fill territo- rial appointments by nomiuating men from other states, he has a right to nominate men to positions in the District of Columbia. Mr. Trotter isa man of ability buat not known as a representative colored man. If the republican Senate kuows what is best we ad- vise it to contirm this nomin ation. Mr. Trotter is a republican we be- lieve or rather a mugwump. It makes no matter what he is we want him confirmed. It is asserted that the Senate will not respect the nomination claiming that he is not a resident of the District. Such a pretext will not do to establish fanong intelligent people, when | heretofore every District office has | — filled by non-residents. We} ; Congratulate the president upon so | wise a selection and while we favor- ed Prof. James M. Gregory, if it had of been the intention of the President to appoint a District | man, we are satisfied with Mr. Trot- ter. In theevent the Senate refuses to confirm Mr. Trotter and as the | pretext of the Senate is non-resi- dent, we hope the president will send io the name of Prof. James Montae Gregory. The. Cleveland | “Gazette” has the following to say : | « Let th President appoint Prof. James Monroe Gregory, ot Howard Unive y. . Py . bs if he ‘wishes to recognize the colored brother.”” Prof. Gregory is a District man and one who meets the approval of all classes, irrespective of color or politics. He is a man well versed in law and letters. As an educa- tor he has no equal in this country. Mr. Ingalls is reported as saying that Mr, Trotter will be respected. We don’t believe Mr. Ingals made this assertion. In speaking of the delegation of colored citizens that called on hima few mouths ago, he said that Mr. Black, was the smartest one in the lot; that his lan- guage was twisted to suit the del- egation. Mr. Ingalls no doubt saw his mistake and now wants to re- tract, We hope that the several com- mittees for the EMANCIPATION Celebration will go to work imme- diately. It isunderstood that this celebration will be the grandest that ever took place in the District of Columbia. W.H. Barker, of the committee of arrangements is the right man inthe right place and by his experience and energy we may look for a grand success. Mr. W. H. Brown, who was elected secretary of the Emancipation has been granted a ship by the secre- tary of the Navy andit expected that he will make one of the grandest displays in the procession. _South-Waskington will come out with a large representation as if has always done. The Chief mar- shall, Rev. Robert Johnson, has selected for bis cuief of staff Capt. Geo. D. Graham, a man of great nnilitary ability. Mr. R. Wormley is the right aid and Tilghman Dorsey left aid. Itisalso hoped that our District militia will secure the Bal- timore militia and make the mili- tary display as great as it was last year. ne es ee TALK OF WAR. ‘Say, ma, what makes ’em talk of war With Canada and England so? What would they be a-fighting for? O, tell me, ma, I want to know.” ‘Ah, bless your curly little pate, My darling little golden head. They fight for rights-for fish—-for bait- Oh, bother ! ask your Uncle Ned.” “Say, Uncle Ned, 1 want to know fi@W hat for the folkses talk of war, What makes ’em anxious for to go And shoot and kill each other for ?” “An outraged international law, | Dear Editor :— |movément in ‘commentivg upodi | tmand from Reciprocal and mutual right.” “But, say, what for they want a war? What makes the folkses want to fight?” “Pll tell you, child, the fish, the bait, The treaty--O, what nonsense child! Go off and ask your sister Kate, Such sily questions make me wild.” “Say, Kate, what for they want to fight.” “The fish, the bait, the ships, you know, Yon tantalizing little sprite! Go off and ask your father, Joe.” “Say, pa, war?” _ “Tae bait, my child-—but get your hat, What do you ask such questions for?

Brooklyn, February 25, 1887. The news of the passiug of senator Pitt’s bill in the Legislature has surprised the} most hopeful of the womans | suffrage advocates. A leader of the a World editorial that “votes in municipal elections may lead to complete enfranchisement,” said laughingly that it made her about | as wrathful as the use of the word pauper in the same paper has} made the disabled veterans of our Civil war. “The idea that it is ne- cessary for a woman to be enfran- chised has always filled me with in- dignation. Ihave paid taxes on a large property ever since I was twenty-three years old, “she went on. “‘I have kept my own accounts, collected my rents. | Taxation without representation | is just as much tyranny for a wo- man as it is for a man. Ifit is not, why not? My taxes had to be paid regularly, or [ was amenable to a} law which I had no hand in mak- ing and which I had as good a right to vote for or against as my nearest masculine neighbor, who happened to be an ignorant [rish- man, although an Alderman.” | Mark Twain’s speech at the sta- | tioners and publisher’s dinner has | had the effect of stirring up consid- erable discussion in reference to| the cramming process of our public | schools. He made several side splitting quotations trom the man- uscript copy of a little book entit- | tled English as she is taught, com- | piled by Miss Caroline B. Le Row, | and to be issued early in April by Cassell & Co. No body knows} better than America’s chief humor- | ist that nothing in the world could be funnier than the examples he | cited; and being a kind hearted | man, and anxious for the welifare of the race, he reaiizes eyuaiiy®aat | nothing can be sadder. Think of examination papers that contain | such answers as these: “Henry | the eight was famous for being a} great widower, having had many wives.” “The gastric juice keeps the bones from creaking.” ‘-Lord Byron was the son of a profligate | and a lioness.” | Brooklyn is just now full of bears, and most of them with very sore- heads. Ata meeting the other evening, a very exciting one by the way, made up of troubled politi- ticans agonized Aldermen and the Mayor, TuttiFrutti was freely indulged in. Boss McLaughlin at- tervated with tobicco, aud says that when the subject is particu- larly tough, he has to go for his gun. Some of them will be anxious to go for their gum: and wade off before the investigation is over | without much doubt. It isno wonder that the ladies who have been collecting funds for the endowment of some institu- tion for the poor to celebrated the Queen’s Jubilee, should be dis- heartened and angry at the sug-| gestion which amounts to a com- ber majesty that a part of the money shall be spent inthe erection of an equestrian statue of the Prince Consort. Ifthe Prince is aware of the! persistence with which her majesty foists him upon an unwilling pabd- lic, he cannot be a particularly happy denizen of the Shining shore, for Albert was modest and kind- hearted whatever else he was not. Themoney which Mr. Chas. D. Keeper, editor and proprietor of the Wall street Daily news, re- ceives from the sale of his new throat and lang remedy---K—Wren | is to be devoted entirely to proba- bly tbat of a hospital or some other needed institution. Ministers with colds in their |en your administration their heads,. brokers all broke up, wo- men with suiffling babies, tele- graph boys barking their heads| off, can be seeu this beautiful Feb- ruary weather going in and out! To the Editor of the Washi of the Daily news office from morn-| Bey -_ ing till uight, a conglomerate | crowd that makes one long fora} Di ‘kens to do justice to it. No. 40. Patti persists in declaring that this is her farewell tour, but it is impossible to credit this statement for her voice is lovelier than ever and a bird that can sing and won’t | sing, ought to be made to sing.” Sena‘or and Lieut. Col. Bacon of the Twenty-third received an ova- tion on the occasion of the regi- mental review by Gov. Hill on Monday night. This officer | has always beeu a favorite but now he is a hero, Mayor Whitney calls him ‘that young man” and one of the Aldermen hints vaguely at a certain “nincompeop,” but the boys cheer him, and the best citizens bid him God speed. ELEANOR Kirk. a a AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT. (From the Editor.) Washington, D. C. March 4, ‘87. Mr. President, we have watched your course with a scrutinizing eyes since the good people of the United States, saw fit to give you the reign of government. We find no fault with you, Mr. President, because we are of the opinion that you have done your daty like a mao. The action of Congress re- lative to important measures sug- gested in your message, will no doubt effect the individuals them- selves and not you. While we re- spect you and your wise judgment in matters concerning the people, we would suggest that you appoint several other gentlemen of color to positions commensurate with their merits and with no embarressment to yourself. Senator INGALLS Mr. President has been elected president protempore of the Senate. This isan endorsement by that body. Ifit were lett with the people, Mr. Ingalls would be rele- gated to political obs«curity where he belongs. You w Ii fi «1 Mr. Presi- dent that the eleciiou of Mr. In- galls as president of the Senate is a ejrect line to the presidency. Before Fou will hav¥e reevived this letter, the inter-state Commerce Commissioners willhave been ap- pointed no doubt, if not we hope that you can find some competent gentleman of color to appoint. We have no doubt but that it is your intention to recognize compe- tent colored men, although but a few of them aided you to the pres- idency of the United States. We are one of the freeborn negroes to whom Mr. Ingalls referred in his letter to you and since we must find quarters elsewhre, we hope that such men like yourself will appreciate ourcondition and rea- der protection against the politi- cal persecution against us by the gentleman from Kansas. We there- fore hope Mr. President that you will be a little more liberal in the distribution of official patronage so far as your colored brethren are concerned. Your presidential term will expire soon and before that time it is hoped that you will ex- ercise your influence in behalf of our colored friends in Texas. - We dow’t know what your intentions are relative to those who have giv- sup- port. Don’t misunderstand us, Mr. President, we mean, those persons who have been ostracised by repab- licans for giving you their support. Congress adjourned yesterday Mr. President and it is to be regret- ted that itdid so little for the country. The most important meas- ure recommeuded by you have been ignored for which the memoers are responsible. An ex session of that body, would effect but little, at any rate we shall leave the matter to yourself and Cabinet and subseribe ourself. Yours respectfully, The Editor. ~~ ____ A TRIBUTE TO THE MR.
