WASHINGTON, D G SCRA MENTS. Secure quarters before you come to the encampment, it will save you much vexation, perhaps em- barrassment. Write to some one jin this city and have the matter attended to so that when you arrive you will know just where to go. People will be so thick here during eucampment week that you will not be able to count them. _ The title of the platform talk that is now in coarse of preparation by the associate editor of the BEE, Mr. George M. Arnold, is “Some famous men and women, scenes and incidents, a birds eye view of the capital.” The first talk will be in Boston next November. The colouel makes his trial effort there for the double purpose of trying his hand on New England, ‘and getting registered in the Lecture Bareau. Born to consume fruits; merely ! made to consume food. A harmless thunderbolt. Don mix polities into any day during the time our Grand Army will be our guests, or even any night. Let the veterans enjoy the week outside of anything with the essence of polities in it. The republicans of the District have held their ratification meet ing and it was a success. All men good and true approved of that and what was done, Side shows are now in order, but common de- cency should dictate that a politi- eal manoeuvie during the week of the encampment is something that is withont precedent and entirely out cf place and can but result in doing harm to the party, It seems strange, but Irishmen are always the prime movers in every strike— Omaha Progress. Why strange, Irishmen have faith in their shillelah and whats a shillelah for if not to strike. Faith is the sebstance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The democrats are doing many things to tempt some of the race leaders to desert the principles that governed Lincoln, Fremont, Sua n~ ner, Stevens, Wade, John Brown, Elliott, Gaines, Cain and “the old guard.” Blessed is the man that evdureth temptation; for when he 1s tried be shall receive the crown of life. General Harrison, the loyal mil-~ lions that wept at the bedside ol Lincoln, sympathized with the stricken Garfizld, sent their pray- ers to God for Grant, opened the flood gates of their tender souls for Sheridan, Sherman and Logan, begged God’s compassion and mercy for the household of General Tracy, look now to that same God and pray that your dear companion may be restored again to vigor and health. Every man who is a voter of a State and a republican, now resid- ing in the District of Columbia, can help elect General Harrison to be his own successor 1f he wants to. flow? By joining the republican club from his State, attend the :meetings, “chip in” and work 1D jan intelligent manver ander the cirection of your leaders, and be ‘ready to go home and vote, and don’t stand around waiting for some one to pay your fare, or “push” you home. Republicans from the South in the Nation’s tapital, don’t rast out but let it be said you wore oat. Go to work, attend your republican club meetings, “ebip in.” If some | of you are advised by your leaders, or would be leaders, not to tage or have any port in polities, reply by saying an American who does not want to vote or have to do with politics, is the least thing in the low uumanly sentiment that some small people are slimed over with. | BILL NYE—THE RACE PROB- LEM. | According to our way of reading and digesting essays on the race problem, we auhesitatingly give as our opinion that Mr. William Nye has thrown wore solid philos- | phy into the resoyoir of thought than any other American that has touched the question this year, at least. In last Sunday’s World he says: “And what are we todo with the race problem at the South? Every where | hear the question, especi- SATURDAY, AUGUST , [3 1892, NO 10 ally where there are no colored people. Hence there seems to be no more probability of a race diffi- culty than there was when the firet shipment of colored people was received from tbe coast of Guinea. There are no strikes where colored labor is employed. Wages are very moderate, and while a State militia bas to be called out now and then in cities where there is no raee question, the South, with all ber former woes, has had very lit~ tle trouble of that nature. The colored man will yet prove no doubt a blessing when new in- dustries open up in the South, and with his wonderful powers of imi- tation and quickness to learn all sorts of manual work he is most assuredly a safer man to employ, if be could have the training, than a fire-eating, disturbing, dynamit ing outcast from Europe. I hope I am saying nothing that may weaken my social position, which is now the wonder and the delight of all who have examined it, but f come philanthropist like Mr. Carnegie or Mr. Gould would start a colored kindergarten for the training of young colored men in the trades, so that a peaceful bat dependent race might bave a job, it would make the disturbing element pay attention and be a great and good work applauded by God and bamanity.” THE 2 o AFRO-AMERICOAN PRESS. £0) The Soldiers and Siilors Nation- al League respectfully suggest that persons who are coming to the en- campment of the G. A. R. in this city Septemver, 1892, and not at- tached to organizations that ar- rangements haye been provided for, will do well to immediately open correspondence and secure quarters so that upon arrival it will ouly be necessary to proceed to the places provided. This will save vexation, discomfiture and impatience, otherwise it might cause a deal of displeasure.

More than 200 panels of native woods will euter into the interior decoration of the Washington World’s Fair building. Some of them will be carved and others dec- orated with paintings of Wasbing- ton scenery and groupings of flows ers, fruits, grains, fish, game, birds, ete. The Chamber of Commerce of Calas, France, has contributed 2,000 frances towards the expense of making a show of French lace at the World’s Fair. Rhode Island will present its World’s Fair building to Chicago after the Exposition closes. The structure will be very picturesque in appearance, being a reprodue~ tion in part of the famous “Old Stone Mill” at Newport.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFPAIRS Late News at the Seat of Government. Adjournment of Congress. Congress adjourned on Friday last, after adjusting such differences as re- mained between the two houses. The Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill was inally passed with a provision giving she Chieago Columbian Fair $2,500, - 300. In regard to the charges of drunkenness upon the floor of the House, made by Congressman Watson, of Georgia, the Committee of Investi- gation made a report saying that it has no hesitation in declaring that the charges, construed in the sense in which they are made, are false and li- belous; that the evidence was over- whelming that the charge involving Representative Cobb is contradicted. by the witnesses, and there was nothing in the evidence to justify the imputation made against him. The facts are, the report says, that three and possibly four members appeared on the floor more or less under the influence of liquor, but none in the condition described in the charges. The committee’s resolution declares that the charges made by Mr. Watson are not true, and constitute an unwarranted assault upon the honor and dignity of the House, and have the un- qualified disapproval of the House. The closing work of the Senate was devoted toa review of the legislation of the pres- ent session. Mr. Manderson said that the Senate had passed 709 Senate bills and of those the House had passed 120. The House had passed 460 House bills; and of those the Senate had passed 314. Of all the Presidential nominations that had come to the Senate during this ses- sion there had not been a single one re- jected, and but three nominations had died on the executive calendar of the Senate, This congratulatory expression drew from Senator Allison a statement of the comparative expenditures of this Con- gress and the last. The appropriations of the first session of the 5ist Congrese were, in round numbers, $463,000,000, and those of the present session $507,- 000,000, showing an increase at this session of $44,000,000. The principal increases -were in Lay oan for pensions and for the Post Depart- ment, There were some diminutions at the present session, notably in the defi- ciencies, to the amount of $5,000,000. There was also a diminution of $4,000,- 000 in miscellaneous appropriations. Mr. Gorman, a member of the Com- mittee on Appropriations, commended the chairman of that committee for his fair and candid statement. The fact mained, however, that the appropria- tions at this session would exceed $500,000,000, notwithstanding the ex- traordinary efforts of the House of Rep- resentatives to keep them within reason- able bounds. It was not altogether a party matter; for these immense appro- priations were partly made necessary because of the growth of the country, the extension of the postal system and the extension of the pension system and other permanent and necessary expendi- tures, a Notes.

A Falling Of im the United States of 132,- 000,000 Busheis. From reliable reports, collected in New York, it is estimated that the total outturn of wheat in the United States will be about 480,000,000 bushels. In 1891 it was about 612,000,000 bushels, showing a decrease this year of 132,000,- 000 bushels, or about 20 per cent. The country will eat 8,000,000 bushels more this year, thus making the exportable supply 140,000,000 bushels less than that of 1891. India has » crop about 60,000,000 bushels below that of last year ; South America’s yield equals that of 1891 as will Australasia's.
