The Dist:ict delegates and a great many Southern delegates numbering a hundred or more were on a great parade down the avenue Saturday morni: gin high po ilies] gleeand florid enthusiasm. The marine band played in its veal cheracteristic way with eprightliness and “eclat.” An amusing incident occurred as tLe procession passed the treasury department. ‘Iwo ladies looking out of the window delighted at the passing train, began ina thoughtless moment to wave their handkerchiefs, all at a sudden ove stopped and jerked the hand of the other as ifin abject terror. ihey bud forgotten. They had no right to cheer at a Republican processsion, They guessed aright tor that yellow euvelope, the bar- binger of fate awaitedthem. At the depot Sherman men and Blaine m-n j»siled each other in high glee and took the social glas- together. Banners, flags of gay coloring avd gorgeous displays coula be seen in every direction. Mr. Smythe was the great central figure and looked every inch a gallant commander. No ove can turmise at this writing what the out—come of the conveution will be. Ailare confident, some body will get left,all can not succed in their choice cand:dater, yet the gie.m of victory shone brightly inevery man’seye. The delegates all got off before 12m. in hand- some sleeping coaches. This was a rare thing to sme ofthe green hauds preseut, and the blank stare of astoniehmeut which some of the old travelers gave them, quite d's cmfited the ner: u +s enthusiast. INVINCIBLE HATRED AND PREJUDICE. A reporter of the New York World disgnised asa vol sred man, v sited all of the first class reetau- rants and hotels of the city to find thet culor was a bar to bis obtain- ing sheltcrand food In summing up the result of Li- enterprise it wus proven that the “ould pr judice agaist colored people is us deep- rovted vs it ever nas, and it will | probably never entirely die out While the hote] people would as gladly accommodate colored peo- ple, they are obliged to refuse to do so to protect their own inter. esis. If they served a colored man their o'her guests wou!d leave in a body and the reputation of the place would be very mater- ially injured While they refuse to receive colored people. they do it as kindly as possible, so as not to hurt their feeling und also to keep out of law suits. The gen- eral plan is to say that their rooms are all oceupied, or put a probibi tive price on everything a colore: man asks for. It must be «aid, however, that cclored people in New York asa rule do not seek the horpitalities ofthe large hotels, but are content to patronize the places devoted to their exclusive benefit. Whether they will ever demand that the ktter of the Fif eenth Ameudment be strictly complied with time «lune will tell. But that the aversion to mingling with the colored race is as strong as it ever was there cancot be the slightest doubt.” THE DAILY BEE. The time is not far distant when the public shall have the benefit of adaily paper edited by colored men. There is an-absoluie need of it now more than at any other time. The straddling policy of the Post and the emerging of the REPUBLI CAN into that paper leaves a place for the daily Bre. The business of society, the numerous notices and necessary Communications, special race interest, and local dignity de- mand it. Weonly need subscrib- ers. As tothe policy of the Beg, iis tone and tendency, no comment is weeded. It is fearless and bold. With the interest of the community xt stake, it has labored to ancover deceit aud hypocrisy. It bas ever held adagger ready to pierce the selfish egotist and the bighead. Personal attacks not even have been avoided when virtue bas been disrobed. Such a paper can live. There is enough stability in the publie character to sustain it. The poor have not been overlooked nor has any special class received more than its just share of atten- tion. The adventof thedaily BEE will bean bonor to the whole race. BLAINE’S MANAGERS COR. RUPTION. Chicago, Ill., June 21, ’88. Special tothe BEE The most diabolical treachery ever perpetrated is on the part of the Blaine managers against Sena- tor Sherman. Wm. Walter Phelps is the dark horse candidate and bis managers are not even true to Blaine, who isa candidate. The Blaine men are making a personal fight agaiust Mr. Sherman and if he (Sherman) is not nominated, it will be un account of the field com- bining against him. The Phelps managers are buying tickets by the wholesale ; they offered $75 for sev- en tickets to-day. The seller refus- ed to sell them for that price. If Blaine is nominated it will be by fraud and corruption. The Blaine meb are making a mean and per- sonal fight against Senator Sher- man and when itis exposed, one can judge the character of Blaine. THE CONTEST. Carson and Gleason were ad-~ mitted as District delegates. They were not however. ‘The committee on credentials having been largely Blaine men saw the necessity of getting Blaine men and men who might be handled in case of an emergency. These plastic individuals or money sharks, were found in the Carson geng. Think of it, Carson accept ed over Judge Shellebarger. Mons‘rous. Funny kind of a contest. fn reer “THE DISTRICT TO CHI- CAaGu” THE DIs- TRICT AT HOME The Republican—Post or the Post-Republican run alternately by the Post editor and the Repub lican editor, diveted much space ou Thursday morning in trying to show thata gentleman was a ruffian because be happened to be struck by a ruffian. The doxble faced Post has at last eased itself upon a pig and puppy pol- icy. It is embauked in no stable principle The Republican tilled with rheumatic pains, and con- sumptive couzhs, produced by the shivering blasts and chilling rains ofa stern political climate, limped on crutches. The fair sur ot a presidential campaign induced it to walk alone. It soon stumbled and fell. Ithad to hitch on to the tailgate of the Post. Its rela- tions can easily be discovered in its whining tones. What the cows tail is to the ew, so is the Repudlican to the Post. It was the cow wagging her tail Thurs+ day moruing and not the cow us ing her berus, In oher words it wus the Republican sp ig and not the Post, The Ber w..uld not spend a line in showing that a gentleman may still be a geutle- man even if struck by a ruffian. Tt may cost the Post some effort to comprehen¢ this simple prop- osition. It is usually perplexed by the smallest thing. For instance the Post has tried its best to show that the Repustican and Post make one puper. One and one are one says the Po<rt. About the District. “he people of the Dis- trict are no better nor worse than the reople in the Post's editorial room. Itis nothing unusual to find in a city a population con- sisting of gentlemen aud ruffias. This Jekyl-Hyde aspect rather belongs to a community. We never knew any law which for- bede a ruffian trom voting or from becoming a delegate or indeed from running a twofsced paper. Ruffians are found everywhere. Prize fighters are found in Con- gress and murderers on Supreme Court benches. The thing for the Post to do is not to brand men us ruffians simply because they attempt to do theic whole duty in the teeth of raffianism. ‘Lhese fine first class citizens both black and white are afraid to force their recognition. They hold offices. A lady clerk the other day was afraid to wave her handkerchief at a republican parade. The true ground upon which these citizens base their refusal or neglect of political ac- tion is fear aud vot respectibility. Mahone is a “Virginian and a gentleman” yet he pushed on a tight at Chicago. The Post would not advise that the “National con- vention should ignore Virginia.” All the local conventions of both parties “in Virginia for years Jront to do them honor. past have been disgraceful affairs.” Therefore Virginians must go. None but a mongrel paper would reason that way. The editor of the Bex lays a just claim to re- speetibility. He is neither a gambler, druukard nor an atten- dant upon disreputable places. He has never been questioned in any matter save those things which concern him in the capacity of an editor and not as a citizeu. When the Posr seeks to disman- tlea man’s good reputation, let it be careful. It is dangerous to extract virus from an asp, or play with a wasps sting. Ed. in charge. SOMEBODY SCORCHED MOLTEN STEFL, “Haviug suffered until I can no longer endure the tyrannical con- duct of trustees J. W. Francis and the artful persecution insti gated by Mr. H. P. Montgomery I hereby tender my resignation as teacher in the public schools of the 7th div. B. E. Pope.” This scorcbes somebody. It this young lady understands her- self, and the probabilities are that she does, it looks badly for manly action on the part of the persons mentioned. It isa blow planted with Sullivan power squarely between the two eyes. Teachers sbould govern their schools; but as a rule they are so cramped by un~ necessary restriction and unreason- able laws, that they are fearful ever to exercise the slightest authority. A teacher needs free- dom. He isnot a mere automaton or figure head. Yet under such management as exists at present little else is to be accomplished. If the pupil made an a-sault upon bis teacher he should have been expelled. If he made no repara- tion he should never have been reinstated against that teacher’s will. That boy’s school career under that teacher bad virtually closed when he saw he had gained a victory over that teacher. The proceeding has hurt the b-y as well as others. 1t bas ruined him. Little is to be expected of him. It is not the boy’s fault however nor the teacher’s. A RISING YOUNG DIVINE. Rev. Bishop Johnson whose cut appears un ithe first page is u young man of brilliant and excel- lent parts. As a proteasor of mathe- maticsand metaphysics he invites commendatory admiration. Asa pulpit orator for ease of expression, force of logic and clearness in per- ception few excel him. As a gen- tleman he is exemplary. We do not with-hold fulsome praise from worthy persons, but are glad as ofien a3 yoang men rush to the The bre is in favor of the young men and has never withheld its support from them. FALSE ECONOMY. Police officers were appointed for public protection aud to look cut for the general safety of the community. At present they are engaged in doing another anda different work, soliciting the cen- sus of 87, It you subtract the sum of the number thus employei plus the number at the courts as witnesses, plus the number of officers off duty from the whole number there will remain possibly enough to arrest a couple of loud and boisterous drunkards. Police are made to do little of all kinds of duty. Tuey serve at public receptions. “This is clearly an im- position. Why do the commis- sioners not call for the idle soldiers at the arsenal todo this kind of work, if these rich people must be guarded at the public expense? But this census business could be done by hiring citizens at $2. per. day and leave the officers to per- form their rightful duty. It is all done in the name ofeconomy. It is a dangerous procedure no matter on what ground it is based. The police will be cleaning streets next. ——_—_————— Emperor Frederick is dead. His death however may not effect Jim Jones nor John Smith, and the un- wary will instantly sneer at any comment upon the german ruler. The fact is that in proportion to the prosperous condition of foreign governments inversely will be the inflax of foreign nationalities upon our shores. People come to Amer- ica because it is a better country than their own. If Frederick had lived, the liberal tendency of the Datch empire would have become peror William though dead.” His wasa rigid policy. It was too stiff for the times. It bordered upon military despotism. Unlike the theory of his father, Frederick inaugurated a liberal policy ivelin- ing to liberality and republicanism. His fond hopes were not realized. He ascended the throne in deaths arms and the fearful visitor only rocked him to sleep, All society is like a placid lake, a disturbance in any part sends a ripple to the extremest shores. We bewoan his death. ON CARSCN’S HEELS. Carson struck Chase a heavy blow with his fist in the office of the Grand Pacific Hotel. He drew blood. It is a cowardly attack to strike a manu in a conver- sation with you. Chase least ex- pected a blow. Curson struck him because he knew that in sucha promivent place crowded with men, interference » ould prevent a counter attack. It was rather « sharp trick but currishly worked. The crowd prevented Chase from instantly wreaking revenge. Chase quickly yielded to persua- sion He did not wish either to imperil the interests of those whom he represented or bring personal disgrace upon his family. [t would have served Carson justl¥ had Chase imprisoned him and prohibited him from an ap pearance before the committee on credentials. Jt could have been so arranged that even bail could not reach him. Carson was not privileged from arrest. He was a bogus representative. But Chase like a square man refrained instantly from an affray allowed an oflender of peace liberty in order that the representation might be fairly tested. It was not a surprise that Carson should exhibit fisticuffy ability for he has large resources in that direction only. The place and the occasion might have restrained him. ‘Lhe act done must beatoned for. No man can strike Chase with im- punity. Carson is not a better man. He is older and not as atrong. His hams are getting weak now. Constant attendance on his bar, constant whiskey drinking, consiant revellings have deprived him of his once manly vigor. Knowing his weakness and Chase’s great physical strength being a yonng man and powerfuily built, being inspired by Chicago whiskey Carson forgot. Carson would never have raised his finger in anopen space. Had he dared to Chase would have struck him to the gronnd with a single blow, The end however is not yet. “An eye for eye a tooth fora tooth” blood for b!ood. Curson beware! Hd. in charge, The nominations being settled the question now is whether we shall sustain manly dignity in Ia. bor or submit to serf conditions, the inevitable consequences of free trade; whether we shall pr. fer pop- ular education or debasing illiter- | acy; whether we shall comple- ment lynchers and extend to them | the hand of welcome or arraign them for prosecution; whether we | shall enroll and be counted in or| vote and be counted out. with the people to decide. As to the question of labor, no where is there a better general con- dition. Every body wants to come here. Beneath this universal want lies the secret of our pros~ perity. We pay fair wages. If protection means that we should depend upon ourselves for all pro ducts of life, and we can raise everything trom a pine tree to a silk thread, it is not asking too much from an honest citizen to throw his influence on the side of protection. To support our- selves we must adopt such means as will visibly secure us from ex- ternal failures and imbrasion. Suppose there is war in the coffee region or sugar territory, and th: se places under a free trade policy have an exclusive sale in our markets. Any man can see that we can not have coffve and sugar while the foreigners are fighting. But under the protection system where we can cultivate our own coffee and sugar, even if we du have to pay a quarter ofa cent per lb. more, it 1s better to besure of a continual supply. We want eda- It is jcation, whether we will have it or not, at least the better clusses of people desire it. Ignorance is cought for in some places becuse it is easily controlled. An honest man will vote for education. Couris of justice were erected for the purpose of trying law-break- ers, But that privilege has been permanent. Germany still writhes within the death like grip of Em-| delegated to another class of cit- izens in the South. One hundred [ colored men have been lynched during the last ten mon‘hs. If you think lynching the best way tosecure justice then you will vote against the ticket. If you are interested in your representa- tion then you-will wist to fuve your votes counted. CARSON TOOK THE TICKETS A FOOL TRICK. He who deprives another of his property with wilful intent to his prejudice is a thief. The District delegates had a right tothe tickets of admission from the National Committee to the Chicago conven- tion. Carson being a member of that committee took not only his rightful due of tickets but those belonging to others. If a contesting member were not allowed on the floor of the congress it would ve a fuol procedure for a square deal. The fight grew out ot the request for the tickets. Carsou’s arrest grew out of the figbt. If the citizens of the Dis- trict sustain C2rson’s action they do themselves no credit We go to press. Eagerly we have watched for some decisive per- manent step to be taken by the con- vention. Every thing is vascilating and unsettled. No man can now presage with absolute certainty who will be the nominee. ‘The veil of the future still covers in its thick folds the stbyl’s prophecy. No man in the convention is settled. The ghost of four years ago reappear. It might seize with consternation + the whole assembly. All the presi- dential candidates have been to the bat and made pop flies which were quickly gobbled up by tae infield. A few sharp grounders fill the bases. They are now in the ninth inning. The bases are crowded. Some man must knocka long fly. The out fielders are playing deep. Who will it be. Will it be the young blood fresh upen the ground, phenomena’s and mascotte or the old horses of forty years popularity ? Possibly the ten thousand dollar beauty whom ali dread may get a | hit. He may put the ball over the ‘euce or he may strike out. He is on deck. Whether he shall come to the bat before the side is out we can not say. What ever May be the result, we ean only hope | that the best interests of our peo- | ple may be preserved. That the man may be a strong man with a vigorous policy.and a clean record and lead us to success. A HUKRIBLE DREAM. A RAILROAD MAN QUITS THE ROAD TO AVOID KILLING HIS wIPFe. I began to dream, ard I thought I was a boy again, climbing the bills of my father’s tarm in Lan- hand in mine. Then gradually the subtle essence which inspires the tangled labyrinths of faney took possession of my mind. IL was again on my engine, throtile in hand, careering through the countryat lightningspeed. The telegraph poles flew up until I became dizzy. I thought I heard the wild birds shriek and the moan of the winds above the moment before lit up the heavens with their luster paled and dis- appeared in the gathering dusk. Darker and darker g:ew the nignt. Suddenly I peered curiously ahead The sight that in my dream met my geze turned my blood cold aud sent it back with a sickening seusation to my beart. I tried to scream with frigbt, but could not utter a sonnd. * * * * * “You meant to murder me!” she gasped. Liried to explain it was all a dream, avd after talking to ber for almost au hour the truth began to dawn upon her senses. Even with the terribie murks where my fingers had clutched her throat standing out to con. demn me; a smile overspread her pretty face, and with tears stream ing down her checks she asked me to give up railroading. I promised her, and now you know why I am running a stationary engine.— Philadelphia News, | Congestive chills would be mp ossible if afull dose of Shallenberger’s Antidcte for Mularia had been taken once a week during the summer and antumn.
