BRUCE. THE APPOINTMENT OF COL- ORED REPUBLICANS TO OFFICE. DISCUSSING THE POLICY OF THE AD— MINISTRETION WITH REGARD TO COLORED PEOPLE. New York Tribune, Washington, April 21 (Special). Ex-Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, recently called the attention of The Tribune correspondent to a dis- patch in the “‘New Orleans Times- Demccrat” in which it was stated that the policy of the Administra tion was not to appoint colored Re- publicans to office. In proof of this it was further stated that ex Sena- tor Brace and ex-Congressman Lynch, of Mississippi, called at the Postoffice Department last week to recommend the appointment of a certain fourth-class postmaster in that State, and that the First As- sistant Postmaster-General was about to order the papers made out when he suddenly asked: “By the way. is this man white or colored ?” “He isa colored man,” replied Mr. Lynch. “Well, I can’t appoint him, then; no colored man can get a postoflice in the south.” Mr. Bruce said: Asa matter of justice to tbe Administration as well as to my- self, 1 wish you would say that there is not a seintilla of trath in that statement; that no such inter- view, as is alleged, has taken place, and that from no member of the Cabinet, or other officer under this Administration, have I heard or received an intimation that any man is to be debarred from oflice simp!y because he is a person of color. Ido not believe that any such purpose exists in the mind of President Harrison or any member of his administration. I have received many letters and personal enquiries on this sabject from prominent colored men throughout the country. So numer- ous have been these enquiries that I would be glad to have an oppor- tunity to answer them through The Tribune. In brief, my answer is this: Lhave every reason to be- lieve that in choosing men to fill offices the Administration will con- sider, in each case, the honesty, capacity and efficiency of the applicant, and ifhebe a man of any race, he will not be rejected simply for that reason. I regard all the published statements to the contrary as no more nor less than a device of Democrats to create discontent among colored republi- cans in the hope thereby of reaping a partisan advantage. I do not believe that the scheme will suc- ceed. It is rooted inerror. There is no danger that this Administra. tion, which is so sound to the core, will repudiate one of the cardinal principles of the republican party and imitate the democratic party by trying to establish a color line. It is an insult to Presideut Harrison and the tried and staunch republi- cans whom he has called into his Cabinet and appointed to other offices to suggest that any of them is doing such a thing. I do not expect to see men appointed to office simply because they are men of color. I am certain that none will be rejected on that ground alone. “The point ismade that few or no colored men have been thus far appointed,” suggested the corres- pondent. Oh, yes, but it is not well taken. In Mississippi, for example, only one appointment has been made, and that one was to filla vacancy in the office of the United States Marshal. ‘No colored republican has been appointed.” That is true; and it is likewise trae that except to the single office mentioned no white republican has been appoint- ed in Mississippi by this adminis- tration. Iam glad that the Presi. dent is taking time tor careful investigation and consideration of the matter of appointments, espec- ially in the South. It bodes well for the future. In the past the number of colored Republicans who have held office has heen relatively small and _ it my be largely increased. The colored voters as a mass, are Re pnblieans not “for revenue only,” nor for the sake of holding office but from principle. They are no greedy, nor are they fickle. Durin the last four years of Democrati ascendancy they remained stead- fast, in the North as well as in the South. In the North they realized that a vote for the Repablican party is a voie for the _ politieal emancipation of men of thetr race in the South, In the South — they realize that political equality and justice can be seeured only through the ascendancy of the Republican party. “What do you think of the movements in favor of the white Republican party in the South?” Weill, franity, don’t suppose the leaders of it expect that it will amount to much as 4 poliie d force unless it has the cordial ec .opera- tion and support of the colored voters. [ confess that L d> no quite understaud it unless its ob- ject, is to obtain possession of the offices. If that be the objest, — the movement, of course, will be 4 failure. [ bave seen movements of the sort betore. J do uot say that such is the sole movement, but I cannot understand the de- sire, if it be the desire to attempt to organize a select and separate Republican party in Alabama or any other Southern State, from which are to be excluded, because 6f their color, tens of thousands of Republicans who are as firm friends of protection to American industries as the authors and pro- moters of what, for the sake of convenience, I call the “Alabama movement.” For my part I am williug, nay eager, to welcome significant fact that one of promot: ere of that movement came to me several days ago and asked me to indorse his application for an office, [ said to him, “why do you ask that? As I understand !t, you do not desire that colored men shall hold any office or have any— thing to do with official patron- age.” “Oh, well” he replied, “that does not mean you, you know, you are all right.” “Bat,” said I, “itis not I. Itis nice iuvolved. If a color st is to be applied it plied to a = My friend Lynch informed me that he had been approached by another advocate of the same movemennt, who is an applicant for office, in the same manner, He declined, as I did, to make any recommendation. Those two inci- dents have caused me to suspect that the “White Republican move- ment” in the sonth may be only designed to promote an organized raid on the the Federal offices. I hope my suspicions will turn out to be unfounded. —_- SPORTING CHIPS, The Washington public will soon be ane lat an innvoeation in journalism in this countary; acvulorea sporting paper Mr. Basil S.

RISE ‘Ee = TARIFF AND FREE Tt oon EE TRADE, | ea ECURE A HOME INTHE LAND OF FLOW DINSMOKE! One of the growing towns of the South, is situated on both sides of Savanrah, Florida & Western Railroad, just twelve miles from Jacksonville, Fla. Itis high, dry and level, and a successfal horti- cultural and truck-growing section of the State. Dinsmore can be easily reached from Jacksonville by railroad, by water route, or by an hour and a half drive over an excel- lent plank and shell road. . Dinsmore is not one of the isola ted spots that is only laid out on paper, but a thriving prosperous town that recommends itself to capitalist and laborer, to fathers and wives who are vigilant over their own interests and the welfare of their children, to those who are seeking homes and those who have capital to invest for speculation. The land can be obtained at re- markably low figures and on terms suitable to the condition of every purchaser. At the present slow figures a poor man can make regu- lar payments ona valuable home with less than the aggregate of unnecessary expense or money act- ually thrown away. Is is an in- vestment that one cannot regret and through which you will realize many times the amount invested. The prices are for Front Business Lots one acre, $65, $50, $35. Sec ond choice, $25 $18. Third choice $15. Fourth choice $10. Fifth choice, $5. It must be remember- ed that these are acre lots. We also have vegetable and truck farms laid out adjacent to Dinsmore, containing from fire to sixteen acres each, which we offer for the benefit of those who wish to farm at $5 acre. Our terms are one fourth cash and balance in one, two and three years. The chain of title will be short and strong. It is from the State of Florida to the Railroad and from the Railroad to you, Truck farming around Dinsmore would be at the door of two of the greatest markets in the South. Let every poor man if with bat one dollar, commence to buy a lot in Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson- ville and return is only twenty-five cents. Think of it. There are eight passenger trains per Jay and the round trip will only cost twen- ty-five cents. Trout creek, a large stream® passes right through the vicinity, thus affording pure fresh water for stock, perfect drainage and abundance of fish. TAKE WARNING NOW, and do not let this grand opportunity slipyou. Itisthe very best chance you will have to securea good piece of yaluable property and such startling prices. The merchants in Dinsmore are enjoying a good trade and the town is rapidly growing. Saw mills are convenient for securing timber to build, and laborers who desire work can get from a dollar and a half to two dollars per day.
