There are today in the several departments of the government men in high official pesitions known as “hedgers” They are men who have been appointed by republicans, and aftera seeming defeat of a portion of the party they attempt to hedge, that is they are of the »pinion that, should the dem crass win or get contr] of the entire government again, they the (hedgers) will be retain ed b. cause they bave been conser~ vative, Sochaclass of republi cans shuld be given the ticket of leave man. It mukes no ffer- ence how much hedging a r-pub- lican does he will not be retained ifthe d mocratie party sbonld ever get control of the govern- ment again. The democratic pa— ty will teach the republicans a lesson. Asanexample wait un- nithe democrats assume charge of the next House, ‘Toere wil not be a republican lett to tell a tale. Hedgers in avy party are dangerons. They are neither re publicans bor democrats and the sooner any party gets rid of them the betier it will be. NOW Is YOUR CHANCE.

No sane man will attempt to say that President Harrison has not been President of the whoie people. The American people cannot help to appreciate what President Harrison has done for the entire people. It has been but a little over two years sire President Harrison asenmed charge of the government and nvt one mistake hus he made. He has appointed more colored men to offive then any R -publi-~ cun President. He is tbe b ack man’s tne: d and to bim we must continue to look for protection, He bas done everything within his constitutional power to protect the people irre-pective of color or condition, We sincerely hope that the rpubhean convention will make nv mistake; we hope that it will forever put a» veto on s-me ot the embitious pelitician- who wills.ow themselves in th bext convention, VUR DULY. The colored man has been the bone of contention for some time and what to do with him isa questivn of grave consideration A great muny of ue have an idea that we can do without the repub lican party and paddle our own canoe. We never was so mistak- en. It is just as bard for the col- ored people to do without the re- publican party us it is for them to jump through the eye of a needle, What then isour duty? We should first consider that We are a poor peopl+; that it is important to teach the musses that we should unite for curcommon good, and until we learn how to save whut we earn We shall forever be poor. Let us be up and doing, see to it that we support our own enter prises and educate our children to be industrious and persevering. SS PROMISES: Notbing will kill a man more in the estimation of his friends than for bim to make promises and fail to keep them. Broken prom- ises are of'en found among corrupt politicians. It is dishonest to muke promises and fail to keep tbem. Politicians should not pledge to do things and then put themselves on the fence as salea- ble commodity. The tence puli- ticians are the most dangerous of all human beings. OUR TEMPORARY OFFICE. The temporary office of the Bee is now located in the Le Droit Building 8b and F sts., n. w. room 5U.

JOHN ‘The Southern States colored Rerublican Association met at Carsovs Hotel Mouday night last at 7 o’clock p.m. Hon. H. J, Eu- rope, Presideut in the chair. Kes olutions were passed endorsing W. H. H. Miller, Attorney Geu’l. of the United States, for the vas caney on the Supreme Bench, also a resolution passed endorsing the Postal Telegrap!: bill suggest- +d by Hon. Johu Wanamaker, Postmaster General, A commit- tte was appointed to wait on the President to request the appoint- ment of Mr. Miler, and to urge the President to recommend to Congress the Passage of the Pus- tal Telegraph biil. The taithfall ness of Hon. Mr. Miiler in manag ing the Department of Justice in the Southern Sratcs, the strict- vess with which he has held to account ballot box stutiers, and defiers of the United States laws, bas proven the judge to be sound on the constiutiovality of the re- construction acts, and therefore a pr: per conservator of the Negro’s n'erest. A considerativn of these facte called torth this action of the Association. Tbe Association deems the pas- sage of the Postal Telegraph bill, that will give the government con- trol of the telegraph lines, thereby making the sending ot a telegraph message comparitively as cheap as sending a letter, obligatory on the Republican party, for the purpose of proving tothe country tbe fact tbat the Repablican party 18 only the poor man’s friend.

From Chocago comes a story of a babe, 6 months old, being killed by a big cat, which ‘sucked the infanvs breath.” Although well in. formed persous say that cats do uot “sac. the breath,” but some- times suffocate the child by cadd liug up on its breast and throai for warwth, the gossips will have 1 that the Chicago case is well found ed. On Monday afternoou the baby was put in the cradle, the cat be ing placed alongside it for a play- thing. During the afternoun it was noticed that the cat kept continu ally near the baby’s bed, but little attention was paid to this. In the evening the mother, thinking ber child was sleeping more quietly than usual, went to the cradle to take i. out, aud was horrsfied to find the infant dead. The cat had sucked its life away. Efforts were made to resuscitate the child, but without avail. The cat is one of the common species and particularly large, It bas been a hosuebold pet for several years. Texas Reformer. CARING FOR POOR COLORED CHILDREN. A meeting of the Educational and Relief Association was held ‘ast Mon. nightat Mt. Zion Baptist Chursh, corner of 12th and E sts., pn. e., with Mr. R. D. Ruffiu president and Rev. J. I. Loving secretary. The report of the general agent, Miss R. E. Brovks, showed sbe collected during the past month 111 pieces of clothing’ from the generous public, which, with the goods purchased with the funds of the association, ba! Deen turned into the treasary. The treasurer's report showed that the sewing cir- cle had made and altered el thing for seventy children and they had clothed sixty-six children for the month ending the 17th of Nov., and all of whom bad been pat into the public schools. The committee ov cart boys for the reading room re- ported forty-five boys who would come to the room. The committee on ball reported that the building engaged for the association bad been leased for one year aud the carpenters were working on it and promised to haye it ready for occu- paucy this week. The committee on outfit reported having received from tbe Secretary of the Interior Department two large mail sacks of books and other reading matter tor the reading room. A communi cation was received from Hon. Juo. R. Lyneb stating that be was 10 full sympathy with the movement aud would aid it by his labor and money. AN INTERESTING EXPERI- MENT. A rather amosing trick can be performed at the dinner table wih the aid of two wine glasses and a visiting card. Take two claret glass- es of the same size, and fill one with claret quite to the brim, aud the otber with water. Cover the glass containing the glass contaiu lng the water with the pasteboard card and then ask if any ove at | the table can transfer the claret into the glass containing the water without pouring out or spilling the liquid in either glass. At first it appears that this is quite impossi- bie, but it may be easily accow- plished by inverting the glass con- tainiug the water and placing it upon the other glass, After the edges of the two glasses have been brought opposite one another, the card is slipped carefully to one side 8o as to open a small cowmanica- tion between the two glasses; this dove, there immediately begius an exchange of liquids, and it is ob served that the claret is flowing in a geutle stream ivto the upper glass, the water bescending through the small opening and displacing the claret.

The selection of a site for a Public School in this section, has renewed the rumor of the contem- plation of the transfering ot the Wormley building to that of the Corcorau building on 28th street. A little over a year ago the citi- zeus of West Washington, beld an indignation meeting protesting against the transfering of the Wormley and they are no less in- dignant at such a prvposition, and will hold a mass meeting bit- terly protesting to the C :mmies- iovers, and we hope that Hon. B. K. Bruce tbe newly appointed trastee for this (the 7th) diyision will oppose such a diabolical scheme on the part of the origina- tors.
