He | previous to her appointment, | to several teachers and made | tures to them, in the interest | Cox, but without success. | eded, howeyer, in getting | Gregory to appoint her, but ts contrary to law. hen Prof. Gregory resigned, | Francis knew tbat his succes- | vould not reappoint her, so be} ‘na visiting white members | trustee board, President | ell especially, telling them | he committee that waited on | District Commissioners were 2 | “seallowags” and irresponsi- | men. Dr, Francis knew that | when he made that state-| to President Mitchell; be that the members of that ‘umittee were his social and po- superiors. Before the Bex | Sthe personal of the commit- | ‘ee, it will give a brief history of | s.

She did not resign until the end of the school jear and a few months after her husband |died, and now Dr. Francis made the same proposition to certain | teachers in the public schools to enable Mrs. Peters (nee) Miss Cox to be appointed. Is Mrs. Peters a pauper? ee THEY SAY Have you heard the news. District republicans will be rec- ognized. The republicaus of the District will sound the key-note. Do 99 favors for your friend and if you fail to do the one bundreth, you get no credit for the 99. Dr. Shadd is not obligated to any | One as a school trustee. Let the District republicans bar- monize. There isa great deal of work to be done. Of course Negro republicans are objectionable to democrats. Don’t be uneasy about the editor eof #25 DL ASAI You don’t kaow it all friends (?) Gregory ought to go to Haytiif the sage of Anacostia resigns. Iago ought to go. ‘The Bex will bea daily in three months. Dr. Townsend and chief clerk McGuinn made good speeches. Applications for positions in the Health office are pouring in by the hundreds. The democrats are in the majori- ty. They have a right (?) of course. What business has a republican to apply(?) for a position under a democratic administration. The Liberian mission will go to the North. Read the Ber if you want a live paper. Jessie K. Roy is a sporting writer from way back. He is the genial Jess. What has become of Col, Mur-) rell’s libel suit. Proceed Col. aud the Ber will tell the people what they don’t know. Bluster talk never had any effect on the Ber. It bas been there before. The tug of war will commence when Congress convenes. Jobn Mitchell, Jr., should recognized. The Southern Negro has a friend in Gen. Clarkson. Let the Northern Negroes unite. “United we stand, divided we fall.” Upon what meat is this District republicans feed that they have grown(?) so small. be “] go, but I return, and it will be like a burst of an earthquake.” To hold an office or not to hold an office, that is the question. “J shall retarn to the people and say, no republican need apply.” This is the District republicans tales of woe. Times have altered since and to the mould and fashion of my will which yet shall take stranger shapes. Dr. Shadd will be a school trustee of the people. He does not belong to any ring or clique. The Bue is here to stay. ; r. Parvis is right. Col. Carson, Chase, Carter Stew- art, R. W. Tompkins, Aaron Rus- sell and the other members of the committee that waited on the Dis- trict Commissioners are “scallo wags.” This is what the big headed Dr. Francis told the white trustee, when he called to have his sister in- law Mrs. Peters retained. How much did the doctor offer Miss Barber to resign to make room for his sister-ig-law ? The “scallowag” committee was backed up by the entire population. Except Dr. Francis and his sis- ter-in-law. Strong committee to represent the people. Dr, Francis ought to take a rest- Mea who are effected with the big head ought to takea trip go the sea shore. -<—+ - THE BEE PREDIC’ A change in the District Govern- ment. Democratic chiefs displaced and republicans appointed. A solid delegation from the Dis- trict of Columbia will be the result. The Liberian Mission given toa northern man. J.M. Townsend will remain Re- corder of the Land office, if he fails to be appointed a World’s Fair Commissioner, T. T. For ber. an Alliance mem- Negro Democrats disgusted. A Republican President in 92. The Washington Bre a daily in three months, WHAT THE B&E WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. How many colored republicans has Green B. Raum promoted. Why is not Cardozo from the High school. If all the democratic heads of the District government will be remov- ed. What are the District repubh- cans working for. If the Mississipi ‘delegation will be solid for the administration. Why MecUabe doesn’t put his name at the head of the Langston City Herald instead of hidiug be- hind the bush. When will that cyclone strike the District government. Why married women like to expose all of their private business. removed WHAT THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE, Some of the democratic heads of the District Government removed. A republican tax collector. More colored policeman appoint- ed. Paris removed as chief of tue fire department and a republican ap- pointed. More District republicans appoint- ed to oflica.

A Repubpan administration must exist in’ Washington. Where republicans were dis- placed under a Democratic admin- istration, similiar transactions will be made to take place undera republican administration. No sentimental candidate will be nominated for President. Gen. Alger is a dark horse. Commissioner of Pensions, G. B. Raum will resign. Representatiye Cooper of Indiana will make it warm for bim. The bosses presented Lieut. Ar- nold with a gold watch and chain. The Civil Service commission will investigate the causes that led to the presentation of that diamond pin and gold watch by the laboring men.

The President will be consulted. District republicans will be rec- ognized. zs ee At St. Joseph Catholic ebhurch on last Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., occured the marriage ceremony of Mr. Wim. H.
