While they didnot expect a prize PS. discount to charitable [nstitutions and pastors they had the nerve to enter and compete at any rate. The Wash- |ington Rifles and the celebrated :Light Infantry of this city did certainly show their appreciation and respect forthe Cadets. Oo Sunday afternoon Major Mcore of the Infantry had the Cadets to march from the camp behind his company and_ the Ritles behind the Cadets. This demonstrated the fact that Major Moore, although a democrat, is a gentleman with no prejudice. Indeed, we cau say that the In- fantry command:d by Major Moore, has always shown _ its appreciation and respect for the colored militia of the district. Major Moore, has looked upon our colored soldiers | equal to any in this country and for this act of gratitude, we would sug- gest the Cadets, Capital City Guards Butler Zouaves, the Na- tional Guards and the colored |citizens of Washington present FURNITURE, s 921.& 923 a > e) IMeriden, Conn, SOLE MANUFACTURER, 4, H, RICEGC0'S,, Solid Comfort Buckboands and Spindle Wagons, single and double seated, e a pain si | Ka to these organizations, especially om “6% v~> \the Infantry, a souvenir of seme [AO eee A)<\ Lt, kind.

Suppose Mrs. Legan had known this, she would. have ordered this negro hater, disguised in the blue of a free republic, to vacate his post. There are just as manyegrohating republicans as there are demo- crats. Give some of these repub- licans’a chance and they will put the negro as far out of the way as so:ae of these heartless democrats. Agall republicans are not alike nor are democrats clothed in the same garment of prejudice we have no fear of the future sucess of the negro. The greatest enemies the negroes have in the departments are afew of these white repub- licans who are still in authority. Gur eyes are opened and it is ouly a question of time when we sha!] oxercise our judgment to the best advantage. ———___—~» «.a ss RICHMOND NOTES. REY. JASPER PREPARING TO BUILD. FLECTION OF COUNTY OFFICERS. NEWS «&C, Richmond, Va., 1887. The much needed rain has come and our city is drenched with its refreshing showers. The commencement exercises of the Hearthorn Memorial Col- lege took place Thursday evening May 19th, the attendance was larye. The Six Mount Zion Baptist church, of which Rev. John Jasper is pastor, is prepairing to build a anew house of worship which will cost $16,000. The Richmond Theological Sem- inary had its commencement ex- erc ses at the Ist Baptist church Tuesday May 24th. Sunday night Mrs. Jane John- son was found lying in the street and was arrested. It was found out that she had taken laudanum, after hard work she was saved, but soon took another dose and the city arabulance was called, She was taken out to the Hospital and at last accounts was not dead. The election for county officers in Henrico county occurred on the 26 of May. There were two Republican tickets in the field a straightout republican ticket, as made by a convention, and an Independent ticket made by the disatisfied faction. The legislature is expected to adjourn in a, few days. Judge Waddell a republican member from Henrico County suggested that a billin regsrd to the dispo- sition of lunatics, who had regain- ed their reason, was an appropri- ate bill to end the present session. ———-__—=- = RAINBOW’S LETTER, Alexandria, Va., June 4, ’87. “ The recent city election has gone into history. The People’s ticket deserved a better faie, however, the people will have a small repre- sentation in the Council and Board of Alderman. The wedge has beer driven into the “Ma- ehine” and much good will be look- ed for, but, we as a race in this city, have made some big blun- ders, which is attributable to iguo rant leaders. Too many are lead- ing in politics, conveying wrong i- deas and who have so planted them and superstition in the minds of the people, as to set them to work against their common in- terests, We have elected men to represent us who could neither read nor write their names, and who even lack common seuse, hence our blunders are many, We do not want to be under- stood as undervalaing the true worth, integrity and general char- acter of the illiterate, for their il- literacy was born of that con- temptable system of human bond- age, which has been forever wiped out of existence. Shall we repeat our mistakes? Let the young men come to the front, and take up the battle of life, which our ‘veterans’ have battled so aimlessiy to main- Che ashington Bee EE Ie | so tain. Old men for counsel, young men for war. Intelligent and com- mon sense men for resresenta- tives: With intelligent action let us have a triumph of common sense. We can then surmount all difficulties with facility. The time demands a change. We have too many bosses, too many who desire to live without any visible means of support. Too many or- ators, too many mean men, too many small men and in general too many mistaught men. Gently turn them in the right path of progrese: bid them to follow, but it they will push themselves for- ward to the injury of the race, turn them down. Let them look forward to higher and greater things. The humblest of us may feel a glow of honest pride in every great and good thing done by his kind. Douglass, Bruce and Lang- ston, are grea men, and we have a right to rejoice and glory ia their greatness. We may edge up to the mountain and feel grand in its presence, if we are kindred with it. “Lives of all great men remind us We may make our lives sublime And departing leaves behind us Footsteps on the sands ot time.” We souud the tocsin—Young men to the front! Take your part, “In the world’s broad field of bat- tle, In the bivouac ot life, Be not like dumb driven cattle, Be a hero in the strife.” We dare to champion brains a- gainst dollars, worth against posi- tion, honesty against fraud, labor against gambling, pro- duction against speculation, faith against cant and substance against show. Mrs. Sarah Myers has retnrned home from Montreal, Canada. Zion Baptist Church, of which Rev. Mr. Johnsou is the efficient pastor, was filled to overflowing by an appreciative audience at the evening services, on last Sunday. A handsome sum was realized at the collection. jured in the late Michigan Rail- road disaster. Ex-Alderman John Andrew Seaton, paid us a visit, last week. His heart is in keepin with the noble physician by which it is en- closed. He returned York, on Monday. Prof, R. L. Mitchell and Rev. Robert Johnson, were in the city during the week. Our genial friend Mitchell is summering at Wincehster. to New A goodly numberof the gradu- ates of the Washington High School, will enter our examina- tion for teachers in the public schools of this city. It is time that there should be competition. Messrs. Bailey of the 4th ward, and Samuel Smith of the 1st ward, deserve to be called the plumed knights of the People’s party. We fought against foes within and without the cirele, but though defeated we came out with flying colors.. Rev. Goffuey, was at Clifton last Sunday. It is reported that, Prof. Juo. M. Langston will shortly be asked to resign the presidency of the Va. Normal and Collegiate Institute at Petersburg. Mr. Thomas Cooper, is reported as being very sick. Mr, L. W. Corbett, would make an efficient president of the city council, The Ber is booming.

Greeting: Gentlemen: By virtue of my oflice as President of the National Press Association and by virtue of an act of the Executive Committee, you are hereby called to hold your annual session in the city of Louis- ville, Ky., Aug. 9, 1887, at 12m.

Politicians then must be thieves. The man you aid is often the first to strike you. The Cadets are very popular. They deserve it no doubt. Deserving men often become popular. Popular men are often not desery- ing. A grinning man is as danger- ous as the bite of an asp. An asp will bite if you give him a chance. Prof. Cook will be appointed professor in mathematics. Great men get great offices. The Capital City Guard took he cake in the parade Monday. If something doesn’t tarn up soon, we shall be compelled o turn up somethidg ourselves. Dr. Francis should be requested to take the school division to which he was assigned. When Commissione: Webb ap- points, he should be so instructed. The people are anxious that Dr- Francis to take charge of the school division. When Mr. Barbadoes 1s-appoint- comparer of deeds, Iagu will know it. IfTrotter is aware, that it was anderstved that ho wig te be ap- pointed, he should make it. Trotter is the figure head and Johnson is the recorder of deeds. Trotter is a mugwamp, and Johnson is a republican. To the victor belongs the spoils. Trotter should reinstate Fred. Douglass, Jr., and Dan Chew. Men who serve you in the hour of need should be cared for. Ingratitude often takes the pre- cedent. Liars are ungrateful. Barbadoes served a cause. Iago —_ that his services are not need- ed. Iago will indict for libel. He should have commenced ten years ago. Libels are advertisements though they put you to a disadvantage oc- easionally. Honest and moral men are the ones who need a vindication. Jago can out grin any man in the city. You can have the Bee sent to you during the summer.
