LANGSTON’S SPEECH, The address of Hon. John M. We think there is every _proba- bility that the Democrats in the Government Printing Office are thouroughly orgrnized and intend Langston at the 19th St. Baptist | to embarrass Mr. Palmer as much Published every Saturday at 1109 I stree north west, Washington, D. C. ntered at the Post Office at Washington D.C., as Second Class mail matter. , CALVIN CHASE, Editor, nn EMBARRASSING THE POB- LIC PRINTER. It seems as if the Demecratic members of the typhographical union are endearvoring to embar rass the Public Printer, by passing arule in the union prohibiting the members of that organization from working extra hours. When Mr Benedict was Public Printer, and when ae requested the men to work, that union readily passed a rule granting bis request. Per- haps these gentlemen are not aware that Mr. Palmer is not to be played with; he is not one of that kind to be intimidated. Per- haps these gentlemen forget that it isan act of mere courtesy for the Publ Printer to make such arequeet from an organization, that is, in itself, powerle-s to stop the wheels of the government. The general impression is that Capt. Brian is ruuing the office; suppose he is, it is evident that Mr. Palmer must have some one to aidbim, and in whom he has confidence, to assist in con-| ducting the affairs of that great workshop. There is one thing certain, whatever Capt. Briau’s faults are he is honest and gives | justice to al!, irrespective of color or condition. AN ENTERPRISING OFFI- CER? There are certain members of | the Metropolitan Police force} who should receive a promotion(?) more especially on accoant of their en‘erprising proclivities. We shall relate a ciruaumstauce that all fair (?) minded people will agree with when we shall have conclud~ ed this article. The concert at the Berean Bapt. church on Thanksgiving evening was attended by the very best el ement of our society, which any know that thé ¢ongregatiort* ur that church consist of some of the most classic and cultured citizens of the country. While the enter- tainment was in progress on Thanksgiving night, a smart (?)| police officer, who uo doubt want~ ed to arrest some one, demanded | of those who hac the affair in charge, a permit. He was told that, since the affair was fora charitable purpose, and given in the church, they did not tnink that it was necessary to procure a permit, but, if that was the law, be could accept five dollars and a permit would be secured the next day. No, said the smart (?) po- liceman, you must go to the sta— tion house with me and leave five dollars. Of course one of the managers Lad toaccompany the of- ficer vo the station and in consider~ ation of this act, we would suggest | to Major Moore, to give this offi- cer a promotion? RE-ORGANIZATION OF THE) SENATE, That the Senate will be reorga- nized seem quite probable, at this | time, and we deeire to be placed flatly upon record as favoring | such. There are new members, | and certainly new condition which | warrant the step. A change of | the point, but he | though we had been a candidate e sug- r. He ie tast developing into a politic. Sevator Blair’s address was to is mistaken in to e his implied advice to the Negro leave the republican party. The N gro cannot euter the democra- tic party should he decide to leave the republican party and he cer- tainly cannot establish a party his own nor can he with any ad- of vantage to bimself join the pro- hibition party. When all other parties have offered the same in- ducemeuts to the Negro as the republican party has, then is - will be time enough for him to say the time has come to devide. THE RECODERSHIP. — The announcement made a few days ago that Ex-Register Bruce would probably be appointed Re- corder of Deeds for the District of Columbia has been the subject of of considerable comment iu the uewspapere tor the past week The candidates, about 20 in number, recognizing the overshad- owing strength of the Senator, at tempted, bui without success, to pool their issues and by a united effort force him trom the field, and to this end they counted and circulated all sorts of rumors touching his identity with the District. In their desperation they alleg— ed that he was a mere edjourner here, was not a resident, paid no taxes, and was in no proper sense interested in the material proper- ty of the District. But when it was conclusively shown that he had been for four- teen years a bona fide resident and tax péfyer, and was fully identified with all the varied interests of the cribuble, ‘and the © combidati®n gradually went to pieces. As to ourself we opposed the “Combine” from the firet, and for the office and were endorsed by many of the most influential men of the land, we declined to lend ourselves to a scheme so nefarious to defeat the appointment of one of the most distinguished colored gentlemen in the United States, against whom not one word could be just- ly and truthfully uttered. Outside of ourself, we know no man whom we would rather see Recorder of deeds than Mr. Bruce, An able thinker, a persuasive speaker, a fluent writer, a brave and concientious public man, he is an ornament to the race whose in terests he has represented in the most exalted positions within the gift of the American people; and he deserves the highest recogni- tion the President can bestow up- on him. For more than a dozen years he has been a prominent fig- ure in all the party councils, a lea- ding speaker in all the great polit- ical campaigns, and a potentiai force in the current politics of the country. Whether his party was in power or out of power, he has been the same unselfish, consistent advocate of republicanism, officers of that body is fair to the} Republican party who has just/ emerged from Democrstic rule in| the lower House, and ought toe be} another reason why the country should expect and demand a new | deal in the Senate affairs. This! continuous term over and above | the six years’ Senatorial life of a| Senator is unfair, and even though | the same gentlemen should be re-| elected, the effort would carry to | the nation that this body want to | be fair and just We nominate Col. Swords as a} fitting person to succeed Mr. Can- | For such an appointment the President will receive, as he will certainly deserve, the approbation of all fair minded men of both races. We stated at the beginning of President Harrison’s adminis- tration that he would deal fairly! by deserving colored men and we now predict that many more of our people will scon receive recog- nition at his hands.

From the Herald of Faith, St. Louis, Missouri, August 10, 1887. Referring to Shallenberger’s Au tidote for Malaria, the business manager of the Herald of Faith would say. that he gave this medi- cine a personal trial, and was spee dily cured of an unpleasant Iuter~ mittent Fever. He then reccom- mended itto F. J. Tiefenbraum, 1915 Papin street, aud to police ofli- cer Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both of whom were cured by it of chills and fever of several years’ standing. Recently his wife, after afever of several days’ duration, took asingle dose and was cured. In view of these remarkable cures, andremembering how much money ig spent for quinine, so little to be depended upon, and often so inja- rious, we can only wish that Shall- enberger’s Antidote would come into general use. = A MAN OF IRON NERVE.

He began ex- plaining the use or the breasts.
