The ty cannot be trust- se our colored fel- © aware of such a plis “Headlight” it + B. DERRICK ere is what it said | in its last issue : “Dr. W. B, Derrick isa mighty bad man or he is woefully ignorant of the ways of the eas or he has been duped to anes tent that is simply alarming. The “Age” ct last week contaiued the affidavits of two wicows who have been deliberately defrauded outcf mon- ey by this bigh-toned gentleman of the A.M. E. Chureh.” We cannot always believe whai people say ; we should first ascer- tain the motives of people before we believe all they say. If re- ports are true we would say that one of the editors of the ‘Head- light” was a bad person. But we cannot believe it. We have the highest regard for the editors of that paper. The attack upon Rev. Derrick by the New York ‘*Age” is personal. There is no trath in any of the editors’ statements, and we assare our contemporary that the courts of New York will decide what seems to be a doubt in the public mind. HON. JOHN W. Secretary of the Interior, is the best friend the Negro has in Presi~ dent Harrison’s Cabinet. He has made more appointments of éolored men to responsible positions than any other member of the Cabinet under this administration. — Of course, we don’t mean to say that Judge Chandler, 1st Assistant Sec- retary, and Gen. Bussey have not done their share. Both of these gentlemen are kind hearted and liberal. We don’t know of two better men holding similar posi- tions who are as liberal toward our people. Itis one thing to holda responsible position aad it is anoth- er thing to be trathfal to the peo ple who call on you, Whatever complaint that is to be made against the members of the Cabinet under this administration, the In- terior Department should be ex- cluded. The work of this depart- ment will show for itself. ee WHAT I SAW AND HEARD. T had quite a pleas#2«- til T. Thomas Fortutie-Mrteen ly last. He was on his way to Knoxville, Tenn., where he will deliver an ad~ dress on the occasion of the Eman- cipation celebration there. Speak- ing of his recent change of politics, he said he would not remain a member of any party that antagon- ized the Negro. That he intended to speak plainly to the people of Knoxville on the race question. NOBLE, * * * I had heard a street rumor to the effect that Mr.Douglass had caused the commission of Consul Astwood to be withheld; this, I am now as sured, was true, but that as Ast- wood has squared himselt with the “old man eloquent,” the objections would be withdrawn, and Mr. Blaine willbe at liberty to hand Astwood his much desired papers. Those who had hoped to profit by the differences between Achilles and Hector must seek solace in chasing another oflice. a*y Chief Clerk Dawson 1s still doing business at the old stand—Interior. Those colored men having basiness with him must either change the color of their skin or the politics of their endorsements. Republican influence with Dawson won’t go. He is determined to keep the Ne-: gro down and out. He defies the orders of his superiors and gets away unrebnked, too. Republicans who have suffered through the mal- ice of this rampant democrat can’t understand why he is tolerated by an administration he is not in sym- pathy with. His time, however, I ean safely state asa fact.is most up. The wheels will be shortly placed under him and he will be rolled out to vent his spite on Negroes else- where. a*e While I have fio particular anti- pathy to the Catholic Church, I cannot help remarking how inter- ested they have become all at once about the welfare of our people, and I am forced to confess that they are making many members, if not con- verts among them. While the Protestants are splitting hairs as to whether Negroes are good enough to attend their churches, or wheth- er they really have souls to save, the Catholics are hard at work, not only hére, but everywhere. In a church on North Capitol Street you will find everv Friday night 200 or more colored people learning to sing their songs and being drilled in their services. © press a sinile as I observed some of the old aunties with handkerchiefs upon their heads, who are so used He has been guilty 6f some fearful | | medicine. 1 could not sup- | to shouting and yelling ‘“‘Amen!” how curious they listened to their instructors. Afterall, who can say what denomination possess the real | key to salvation? ay Did you ever think of the men who claim positions because of what their fathers had been? The boy never stops to think that personal worth is necessary; that active political party worg is a re- quirement to office-holding. Those things cut no figure with him. He wantsa position, drums up the friends of bis father and the place is secured because he is his father’s son! A recent appointment here illustrates my meaning. A young man who has never done any active political work, and it is question- ed if he ever voted, has been given a lucrative position, be- cause his father was valet toa great general. Without meaning to de- tract or belittle the young man, I agree, however, with those who look upoa his selection as poor en- couragement to those who are hustlers, and are made to stand aside for the man who gets in ou his father’s reputation. Polities is a funny thing! The man who works hardest in the primaries and at the polls, may have a fair eda eation with lots of executive ability, yet will find himself out in the cold, while the fellow who has to be driven to the polls in a carriage in order to cast bis vote will get the office. Queer! aint it? * * There is also another thing lve been thinkiug of iu connection with oftice-holding, and that is the way in which certain gentlemen are rated. Prominent places are snp posed to be given to representative men, that is, men who have a strong constituency behind them. Let us see now if this has been done. The most prominent place held by a colored-aran Tore is that ‘lof Mr. Lynch, next, Dr. J. M. Townsend and Mr. Terrell. Mr. Lynch’s State 1s democratic and gives its electoral vote to that party, while Dr. Townsend’s State is Re- publican and its electoral vote goes to that party. Mr. Terrell is a District man with tio electoral vote to give, and yet he Hraws the same salary as Dr. Townsend. The North can really claim but one appointment—Townsend—for _ its electoral votes. You will under- stand thatIam not fighting the individuals, but the principle that has brought these things about. If the Southern States could cast their votes for our party uo one would teel happier than myself, and while I would not rob them of a single office that has been given them, 1 cannot close my eyes to the fact that the Northern colored men are not being treated fairly. I believe in the fitness of things. The South was given one Cabinet place whi-e the North received the remainder. Now, the same rule that applies to the whites should apply to as. Votes are the factors upon which representation is based. If this be true, and it is, then certainly fifty votes in Indiana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Ilinois or Connecti- cut are worth more than thousands of yotes in the South that are not counted for our candidates. These are cold facts that must be met be- fore the next election. It will not do to ignore them. The Northerao colored men are entitled to and ex pect better treatment at the hands of the appointing power, If it is intended to aid the White Man’s Party in the South at the cost of colored men in the North, then it may be found necessary to have a similar party in the North. What- ever the motive, itis a bad one and does not meet the approval of those who can vote and have their votes counted for those cast. The South is entitled to all it will get, but the North is entitled to more thau_ it has got. A difference without a dis- tinction. Catch on?
