MR. BLAINES DEPARTURE. THE ELECTION OF MR CHANDLER TO THE SENATE. THE OUTLOOK FOR MR, CLEVELAND'S NOMINA- TION ON THE FIRST BALLOT CON- CEDED THE COMMISSIONER AND THE SCHOOLS. A REORGANIZATION OF THE HIGH SCHOOL DISCUSSED. IS THE PRINCIPAL GOVERNED BY HIS SUBBORDINATES? Hon. Jas. G. Blaine has left for Eu- rope. It is said that his visit is for a political object. Whatever politi- cal significence is attached to his vis- it abroad, we are confident that he will not gain sufficient popularity to change the opinion of the color- ed people toward him. The defeat ot the Force Bill is still fresh in the minds of the colored peopie of this country. The question which seems to bother the colored people is, how will they be treated should Mr. Blaine be elected? We have but little faith in men who have done all in their power to oppress the colored people. The outlook for ‘88. IS GLOOMY. The country is threatened witha great political conflict. The Labor and Prohibition parties on side and the Republican and Democratic parties on the other. It is impossi ble to tell how the election in 88 will go. Some of the wise politi- disruption will be so great that the election will be thrown in the House of Representatives. The general talk now is, that MR. CLEVELAND will be nominated as the standard bearer of the democratic party on the first ballot. It is evident that the democratic party will be com- pelled to nominate Mr. Cleveland janyway. Of course he will have } the opposition of the spoilsmen. There is alwaysa disatistied ele- .Ament.in all parties or crganizations; but what effect any opposition will have towards Mr. Cleveland’s election remains to be seen. One of the self constituted CITIZENS COMMITTEE is kicking against the District Commissioner. There has never been a man appointed who has taken more interest for the suc- cess of our public schools than Mr. Webb. This continued bar- rangue is becoming to be redicu- lous as well as disastful to the better thinking class of citizens, Oar public scéols are getting along nicely aud with but a little change, in- our colored High School, we have nothing more tosay. Our trustees with, but one exception, are doing all they can do to better the condition of the schools. Super- intendent Powell is a wide awake |man and a-— gentleman. who thoroughly understands his busi- ness. There is only one thing need- ed in the colored schools and that /is a reorganization of the High School. We believe that | Dr. Francis will recommend some ben- eficial changes and organize the schovl upon a basis that will tend people than Prof. Gregory and Francis. The question has been asked concerning our High School, is the Principal governed by his sub bordinates? No principal should allow those below him to control him. The name of Prof. Hugh M. Brown has been suggested for the princ@™lship of our High School. Prof. Brown’s appointment to the placa would give entire satisfac- tion to the citizens. We don’t want to be understood as being opposed to the present priucipal of the High School. There is no man for whom we have greater respect, but, if it is impos sible for him to manage the High School, let the trustees transfer him to somenther place and ap- point a man like Prof. Brown. Social standing or influence should not deter officers in doing -what is just and right. The people know Prof. Brown to be a man of ability and one who will run the High School with en- tire satisfaction. Ex-Secretary Manning has returned to the coun'ry much improved. Mr. Man= ning has returned in time to pre- vent Gov. Hill of New York from doing wicked things. There is no telling what Gov. Hill will do to defeat Mr. Clevelands nomination. [n our opinion one of the four men will be nominated in 88 as the standard bearers of the Republi- can party; Alison, Blaine, Sher- or Lincoln. The democrats — will nominate either Cleveland or Hill. <a THE 21ST CENTUARY- THE GREAT SOCIAL WORLD. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE. THE SECRETAYR OF THE INTERIOR, MR DOUGLASS, EN TERTAINS TUE PRESIDENT. PRE- PARATIONS FOR THE WORLDS FAIR. A NEW INVENTION, &c. This week is one of the greatest social events in the history of the official circle. The marriage of Miss Wating, daughter of the secretary of State to Recorder Gregory’s son is the talk within the social circle. Miss Waring is one of the most accomplished ladies in the country. She will be waited on by Miss Jen- uie Bruce, the prettiest lady in the city. Miss Bruce isthe daughter of the president. The brides dress will bé made by Madame Worth of Africa, and will be pure African silk. This silk sells for $200.00 per yard, The dress_ will be entrain and trimmed with lace alabaster, the finest and the most costly lace that is made. This lace is worth $500.00 per yard. Her slippers are imported from San Domingo. It is said that these slippers are made from the skin ot a bird that is very rare. The skin of which expands and it is as soft as raw cotton. The flowers, that are to be used on this occasion, will be sent from France. Two thousand cards have been issued in the city and as many more will be sent abroad. The Secretary of THE INTERIOR entertained the President last eve- ing. Among those present were, Secretary of State Waring, Post- master Lynch, Public Printer, Cromwell, Miss. Cook, who has just retured trom France, Madame Tucker, Miss Pet Keige , asst. adjutant Genl. C. R. Douglass and wite. ~ Hon. Hugh M. Brown, our dis- tinguished deplomat, will be mar- ried to Miss Lynch, January 20, Miss: Lyneh will make her social debut in September. Extensive preparations are be- ing made for the WORLD'S FAIR, It is expected to have some of the greatest productions know to civil ization. The most important exhi- bit will bea train of cars run by air. How it is done no one knows but the invention. There is no telling what the worid is coming to since the supremency of the African party the, country has been steadily on the increase. Mrs. Judge Hilyer will have daily receptions commencing on Monday, trom 5 to 6. Hon. Sidney McFarland one of the Inter State Commerce Com- missioners, snubed King Kalaka to do good. We don’t know of any trustees who have given more sat- sfaction to the schools and the while on his visit to this country. The king paid his respects to Com- if rere ' missioner McFarland but he was politely snubed. Adjutant General Fleetwood is acting secretary of war during the absence of the secretary. FREDERICK DOUGLASS. HIS TRAVELS, INTERVIEWS, &C. DR. GRIMKE’S LECTUKE, COMMENTS BY SATCHELL. Eyer and anon we hear or read of the travels and treatment of Hon. Frederick Douglass, as he journeys from country to country. Once he was in London chatting with a London reporter, then we hear of him walking on the Bou- levards of Paris, arm in arm with the poet and orator, Theodore Til- ton; again the American papers contain clippings about his sojourn in Rome, his sail on the Bay of Naples and his visit to the city; then after a silence of a few weeks, weread of him sailing through the Suez Canal, climbing the lofty pyramids, from whose summits, Napoleon once told his army, ‘‘for- ty centuries hoked down ujov them,” visiting the beautiful isles and splendid ruins of lovely Greece; again he passes through Rome, Naples, over the Alps across France, the straits of Dover, and still again we read of him in En- glad, one of the millions that surge through the streets of might- y London. Nowthat his face is turned homewards, it will not be many mduths before the enterpris- ing news gatherers of New York will be ranged along the piers, to take by storm the information he has gained and the opinions form- ed by months of observation, trav- el and study. We propose to en- ter upon no eulogium of Mr. Douglass, for he needs none, we write only to remark the change ofa few years and the chances for bright talents. Forty yearsago he went to Europe a tugitiye slave, subject to all the insults and liable to all the dangers of such a con- dition. Happily the British nation knew very little of the prejudice that made his stay in his native land dangerous and disagreeable, receiving him cordially, hearing him speak and winning their hearts by his eloquence. Titled nobility, distinguished orators and members of Parliament graced the platform, while a great multi- tude sat before him and listened to the vivid portrayal of the life and suffering of the American slave. Everywhere he was warm- ly recei ved, and everywhere he was equal to the occasion. Then he was an eloquent curiosity, a slave pleading at the bar of justice and before the English people was a novel sightand the first perhaps in history, and he was graceful. But with all his rare powers he was only a slave in his own coun- try, and ere he could return to it with safety, he had to be bought as a man would buy a horse, the money was ready and the purchase made, and now after half a centa- ary of trials and triumphs, wealthy, honored and venerable with age, he returus and visits the now aged woman who bought him and gave him to himself. How the times have changed; even American prejudice, that seemed so deep and radical, is gradually vanishing. Men give it up as they doother cherished sins, reluctantly, slowly, bat they are giving it up nevertheless. Fifty years ago any, except an abolition paper, that printed any compli- mentary notices of him, would have co:nmitted a business and po- litical bluuder and to have quoted his opinions, to have kept pace with his social triumpbs and to have justified his union with Mrs. Douglass. would have been so in- tolerant to the average American, that many ofthem would have stopped their papers immediately, and some would have been in for stopping both the paper and its publication. The graduating exercises of the dience as they went halting over the unfamiliar lines which they had written. Dr. Grimke delivered a forcible lecture not long since at the 15th st. Presbyterian... Chureh, that should receive a wider hearing than by the few who heard him on that occasision. He laid especial stress upon the value and_necessi- ty of money, and sorely arraigned cooks and servants girls who out- dress their employes, and conclud- ed by raking the dudes and dan- dies who are feeding at the gov- ernment corneribs and spending their salaries attending high priced amusements and giving extrava- gant dinners. A few dollars saved and carefully invested in the ris- ing real estate of the suburbs, is one of the most paying investments into which money can be_ placed. Property here must increase in value for Washington must event- ually be a greatcity. Now is the time to buy and if it is neglected and wailing and gnashing of teeth. The musicale of the Correno at the residence of Miss Strange, two weeks ago, has been the topic for fashionable chit chat ever since. [t numbers among its members the most brilliant and cultared pian- ists of the city and their first pub- lic recital was thoroughly in keep- ing with the reputations of the in- dividual participants. In a con- stellation of such general excel- lence each star shone wita its own peculiar beauty and hence partial- ization would only show tine writers preference, not necessarially the preference of the majority. All aid so well that everybody hopes for the permanence and success of an organization devoted to so laud- able a purpose as raising the standard of music in our midst, from the ding.dong accompani- ment and home sw et home varia- tions, to the appreciation of the beauties of Mendelsohn, Boch and Verdje c2 2 Satchel. BAWDY HOUSES. THE POLICE FORCE DOING G@00D WORK. TWO HOUSES RAIDED, The police force, under Maj. Moore is doing a good work in brake- ing up the bawdy houses where so many youug girls are carried and ruined. Two houses were raided two Sunday evenings ago, One on 20th st., and the other on L st., near 20 sts. n. w. For some times these houses have been in full operation. Young girls between the ages of 10 and 20 years have been visit- ing these houses with married and single men. Two Sunday evenings ago the house on 20th and the other on L street were raided. Had the officers made the raid two hoursearlier they would have caught several ‘males and fe- males who are well known in this community. At any rate those who were caught, (ie) the temales gave their right names while the males gave ficticious ones. If the names were of any consequence or if by exposing them would benefit the pablic the Bee would have no hesitency in giving names. These houses are generally in a part of the city where people have the least sus- picion. The police are getting on to these hous s now and are doing good work in the community. It is said that the Utah law will be enforced, There are several of these houses in the city. The minister of the several churches should speak of this matter from the pulpit. It isa duty they owe the community. . The mau ws keep the house on 20th st., is Johnson, but it is college department of Howard Un-) iversity were slimly attended, and not at ali in keeping with the usual | high standard of such occasions. | The banner class of ’85 and the! brilliant one of ’86, illy prepared | the audience for the rather scanty | literary menu that wad" served to} them by the class of 8°.
