DISCHARG-| ED EMPLOYEES TAKE IT HARD. | Mr. Parnell’s agitation of the | Irish question may be right in the estimation of the American people, but it is not right for} Americans to forget the safferings of their own people, and interfer | with Great Britan in its dealings with the Irish question. ‘The As merican negro needs as much pros | Trish We think it is about time | for the people of the United States to attend to their own busi- ness and look out for the inter- | ests of those who are being butchered in the south. We see/ by our able contemporary the Evening Star of this city, that} 500 men assembled in front of the | Louisville, Ky., jail for the pur- pose of lynching two unarmed | negroes, and it was as much as the city authorities could do to} keep the white mob from carry- ing into execution their brutal ac We would like to see some white mob in the District of Columbia attempt to lynch a negro.

The closing of saloons and other business plac # on the Sabbath wili improve the morals of our community Chris- | tian peole and those who would | rather go to church on the Sab | bath should be viven one day of rest if all others think to the| contrary. If men are compelled to drink whiskey and smoke! cigars they have all day Saturday | to buy what they need. And now | THE EMMIT GUARDS up and object to being “tail enders” of the District National Guards. The next! thing for the American Irish to do is to enter the treasury depart- ment tuke there trom all the gold and silver without asking per- mission. However, Capt. W. I. Murphy, has been assured that! the published report is untrue and that his command will not be! mixed up with our offensive (?) colored milita. We suppose after awhile the Irish and a tew white | people will object to going to| heaven because the negroes are | going there also. There is one| consolation the colored people | have and that is, there is no} distinction made when we’ come to die. If there were, a few preju-| diced whites would have all the bob live. While there may not be any rest for us on earth, we are con- | Mrs. Senator Douglass will | her first reception in honor of Mrs. jfident that the God of nature | will find rest for us and all of those why are righteous. We don’t know whether the reorgani- | gation. of the District milita. will effect: the official status iof our | colored companies or not, Our \advice would .be, to request the | authorities to place our command- iug’ officers upon the same footing as.others will be placed in the other organizations. It. has-been a question of great consideration, whether discharged colored em~ 4 phy eesof thefzovernment has been benefited. We are of the opinion that the majorily of our young | colored men, who have been dis- charged from the government, have been benefited to. a great extent. It has only been the weak and timid discharged government employee who hasbeen a failure. We sympathize with this class | Some of them had come to the conclusion that their existance in life depended on a government position. It seems that colored men who have professions take it more to heart than those who | have none. Professions with some have become to be a mockery, and a sham and_ rediculed | by the unprofessional. A majority of the colored dis- ;| charged employees are without money and some are even without reputation. It was but a few days ago, that commissioner Black reinstated a few colored clerks who were found to be without a | dollar. Genl, Black is not so bad }as some would have him to be. We believe him to be friendly disposed towards his colored employees. — +ee> THE 21ST CENTUARY. THE UNITED STATES IN 2099: WHat] FOOLS THE PAST GENERATIONS TEED IED Ae Atvensm ont meer ?

The government has changed and the great political parties that played such an important part in polities, have been overthown and a new party has got control of the government, known as the New African party ; the labor party, and all other parties are of the past.

Mr. Editor:— I desire to call your attention toa scene which occured in our streets last Sabbath. A young man ot albility and culture and one who holds a position in the departments, District or Exeeu— tive, was seen in an open carriage, accompanied by two women whose very appearance and conduct should have brought a blush to the face of the geutleman(?) This trio came rolling down New York Ave., toward the west end and Imust say that I was dis- gusted to think thata man of such ability and promise should countenance or assist such infa- mous prostitution. The women were of the coarest sort and are known the town over as Will you not seetoit that such conduct in our young men is stopped at once? Herewith I en closé the name of the man the women I am_ proud to say I do not know. OBSERVER. We are surprised to know that the gentleman who bears the name mentioned could be guilty of such conduct. Commiseration for his weakness in the first instance is our only reason for not publish- ing his name—a repetition is un— pardonable. Ep. 0 + o> Norway Muits, Texas, Oct. 19, ‘86. Messrs. A. T.
