The people are to be congrat- ulated on the defeat of Mr. W. B. Web»’s confirmation. Per- toaally Mr. M. 8. Webb is a five gentleman, but he was not the mav to be Dis'rict Commissioner, Editors E. W. Fox, C. 58. Noyes and others, with ourself included, the people of Washington owe a debt of gratitade. The quesiien is now who ougnt to be our_nex' District Commissioners? Tuese are severul good men uffizieutly qualified for these «ffi ies, ard the tact isthat the Pres:dent willlisten to the wishes of the people in regard to home appoint- men’s. It is understood that the President will appoint one repub- lican aud one democrat. We favor Hon. A. M. Clapp 28 the republican member of the board of Commissioners, and Wm Dixon as the democrat, Mr Clapp isa simon pure republicin and Mr. Dixon is a democrat who refused to euter into rings and cliques uuder the former sdmin- istration, which are the reasons he was not appoinied in place of Mr. Wheatly. Both of these gen- telemen will meet the approval of the entire community. THE PRESIDENT. Thus far the prisident has mad~ a good begining. It is evident that his administration will be purely republicin. The ap; oint- meuis alre dy made are regarded to be goed ones and from what we have learned, District men will be appoit.ted to District offices. The Presidents inaugural address was one of logic and sound sense He believes, as all other honest Americans believe, that party ser- vices should be recognized. It ir hoped that everybody will be sat- istied H, Z. OSBORNE, It is authoretively reported that H. Z Osborne of LosAngles Cal, has been appointed Public Printer. Mr. Osborne is a man ol character and bility. He was backed by the entire Pacific slope. Mr. Osborue is a good republican and a friend to the negro. Mr. W. E. Dougherty, a chief in the 6th Auditors office, has served as chief in a number of divisions in that office. While chief of ove, he was imporiuned by score: ot democratic clerks to remove colored clerks. He also received lettere (anonymous) 8et- ting forth all sorts of misrepresen- tations regarding colored clerks. Mr. Dougheaty treated the im- pertunities and letters with indif. erence and frankly said that so long as his clerks performed their duties he would see to it that they were protected. Tie has often rebuked clerks who have spoken ecornfully of the colored clerke, and has been friendly to them. The colored clerks hold Mr. Dougherty in high esteem. 4 There are thousands of brainy young negroes who never held an office under the government, will they be overshadowed aud crowd- ed out by the old regulars who be. lieve it is the duty of the repub- lican party to support them and their dependencies until death overtakes them? we hope not- Sees “The sweet blush of modesty more bheauteous than the ruby seems.” Do professional office seek- ersever blush while demanding the biggest ehare of official patron- age! they ought to. We have understocd that this adminstration proposes to gise competent and deserving young republicans a fair show in the mutter of the cfficers, that is all they ask, _— ——— —_—_—______—_} The supreme hceggishness of some men in the Republican par- ty is enough to make a blind horse leave his oats. Ss Tu our next issue we shall give a brief history of the new Dele- ware Senator. NO NEGRO NEED APPLY. LET CONGRESS ACT AT ONCE. Senator Edmonds requested the District Commissioners a few weeks ago to send to the Senate a state- ment of charitable institutions in ernment, and whether such institu- swers: The Secretary of the German Orphan Asylum writes to the Com- missioners that there is nothing in the constitution or regulutions of the institution concerning exclusion on account of race, color or pre- vious condition of servitude. Sister Clara, of St. Rose’s Indus- trial School, says they never had a colored applicant, “therefore none had been refused ; but should they apply they would not feel bound to receive them, not being a regular public institution, and not having the apartments to receive them. It would not be supposed we could mix them with our young girls, who are mostly orphans or from good families.” Mrs. J. Curtis Smith, Secretary of the Board of the Washingtom Hospital for foundlings, in her let- ter says: I bave to say that this institu- tion has never refused the admis- sion of any foundling on account of race or color. Several applica- tions for the admission of alleged colored foundlings bave been made, but upon investigation of the cases by the executive committee, they were rejected as ineligible under our rules applicable to all admis- sions, whether white or black. We have toemploy a number of wet nurses for nursing children, and whilst we may regret the fact that avy race prejudice should exist, yet we are compelled to recognize it as a fact, and it is apparent that the necessary help could not be had, if it should be attempted to keep white and colored children in the same wards. Sister Mary Vincent, of St. Vin- cenUs Orphan Asylum, writes: “This institution is for white chil- dren.” “St. Ann’s Infant Asylum,” says Sister Agnes Relihan, ‘receives in- fauts and children from the public authorities without distinction, but to receive all who present themsel- ves at our door, particularly color- ed, would be an utter impossibil- ity.” “The Sisters of the Good Shep- herd write that “no one has ever been refused admittance into our institutions. Colored children have not been received, though in some of our larger houses they have a building for them.” The Sisters of the Holy Cross of St. Joseph’s Asylum say: “Our asylum is for male orphans. None are excluded but colored. I find from experience that white boys cannot be mixed with colored.” — ———— SOUTH WASHINGTON NEWS Mr. Jerry Adams, the wood and coal dealer has returned.

EDGAR WARE’S LETTER ON THE INAUGURA- TION. Well ves, the grand procession I also saw, and now I set me down, my dearest Jane, to tell it all to you: The morn walked o’er the city rob- ed in @ gossamer, For there was a drizzling rain, and no sun would appear. The wiud blew from north-east, a sure sign , they say, That the rain would continue to fall the live long day. The anxious looking people were standing here and there, While too among the number stood your own liege, Edgar Ware. I heard the hum of voices, and I felt the ebilly rain Which made some men forget them- selves and say things profane ; But I remembered all, my dear, all on the cause of Jane. I said only ‘DOG BITE IT” when a man stept on my toe, And when the police shoved me back, I uttered “BY Jo.” Well, now, the exact hour, I do not really know, Bat ifm not mistaken, I think twas half past two When Harrison rode up the deco- rated avenue. This avenue, you know, dear Jane, abreviated Penn., Gave most true signs of welcome unto the honored Ben. The back, or coach, at last came by, drawn by horses four, And there I saw the President who looks of wisdom bore: I vowed I’d never seen a man that looked more wise before. And O those many soldiers, Jane, in suits, white, red and blue, Indeed they looked so beautiful it made me think of you: I said, ‘‘Now if Jane just was hee how happy 1 would be !”— But here I ceased my musings for the police crowded me. 1 found myseif shoved through the crowd, and heard people shout, One man, because I stept on him near knocked my eye out : I left the disagreeable place, and got 1n open air, To find the place where first I stood, I was from it one square. Within my good bip pocket, I put my right hand down To find alas, my dearest Jane, my pocket-book was gone! I did not stop to grieve, dear Jane, L left it for the scamp, Who only found, within the purse, a three-cent piece and stamp. AtlastI got another place, for being tall, you see, Even those with umbrellas quite failed to baffle me. On came the bands and clubs, also oncame the soldiers grand, And bravely walked the offlyer that held the high command. Nor failed the drum-major to toss his cane about, Nor tailed the wild street-urchin upon the air to shout. Already the artillery had long gone ou before, ‘ And now the men a walking there was ten thousand more! For three long hours they were pas- sing, just think three hours !— The ample time we courted among the spring-time flowers ! There’s much more I could tell you, but space it wont allow, So with my dearest wishes good- bye, I bid you know now. Just look for me next Monday, till then this parting bear, May this find you as it leaves me, your liege lord, EDGAR WARE. Dont fail to pay your suybscrip tien, REDFIELD PROCTOR OF VER- MONT. Ex- Governor Proctor, of Ver- mont, who is in the Cabinet of Presi- deut Harrison, was chairman of the Vermont delegation to the Chicago convention last year and his dele- gation was the only one in the whole body which voted solidly for Harrison from the first to the last ballot. An other reason for the recognition of his services by President uarrison is his eminence in his own State, which he virtual- ly controls. He is a sturdy speci- men of the typical Vermonter, standing close to Senators Hd- monds and Morrill in the estima- tion of the citizens of the Green Mountain State. ne bas served in both branches of the legislature, and bas been Lieutenant-Govern- or and Governor of Vermont.

DEAFNESS CAN’T BECURED by local application, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only ono way to cure Deafnees, and that is by con- Stitutional remedies. Deafuess is caused by an inflamed condition of the muceas lining of the Eustach- ian Tube. When this tube gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and whea it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tabe re- stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine cases out of ten arecaused by eatarrh, which is nothing buat an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. We will give Oue hundred Dol- lars for any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrab) that we can not cure by taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY &CO., TOLEDO, O.
