The general impression is that Prof Wm. L. Brown, the son of the late Bishop John M. Brown, both of whom snpported Mr. Cleveland in the last campaign. will be appointed recorder of deeds to succeed Hon. B. K. Bruce, when his time expires. Prof. Brown is one of the best edu- cated young men in this country anda man-who reflects credit upon the colored race as an edu- cator. If President Cleveland hasmade up his mind to appoint Prof. Bro.n, the entire colored race would hail the appoint- ment with delight and regard it as ajust recognition of the son of one of the strongest and most influential bishopsin the Meth. odist Episcopal church, This appointment would reflect great credit on the administration and tend to make the more conserva tive class of the colored people have more faith in Mr, Cleve land. No public man was more ostracized by his people than the late Bishop Brown and his son for their support of Mr. Cleveland and has _beena sur prise onthe part of the enemies of the late Bishop that some- thing has not been done for the family before. The BEE has always "maintain- ed that Mr. Clevelond would certainly not forget those who stood by him from principles and not for oftice or because they were disgusted with the republi- can party. Prof. Brown has been a resi- dent of the district for 35 or 36 years. THE LEAGUE. Our esteemed contemporary, The Plaindealer, thinks the league failed for want of support. This is rather a trite way of stating the case and it is one with which we make no issue. But what we would like to have from our co-laborer in journalism is a succinct statement of the real causes that lead to this non-support and con- sequently to the disgraceful collapse of what should have been a powerful compact national organization carry ing its protectrve banner into every part of the country, and making salutary influeuce felt among all cl. es of citizens. Recall, we beg, the history of the League, its birth, its progress, -its miserable collapse, and tell an anixous public what was really the trouble. A WONDERFUL WOMAN. On the front page and first col- um of this paper will be seen the advertisement of Mrs. Carry for- tune teller and clairvoyant. Mrs. Carry will certainly do all that she says in her card and if any one has the least doubt about it after they have given her a trial call at this office and the BEE will refund our money. Dont tale what the BEE says but go yourself and be convinced of the wonderful gift of a woman. THE BEES OWN PRESS. On or about October first the Washington BEE will put in a new Osillato printing press to be propelled by electricity. The Bee will also be issued semi weekly and if the people give it the proper support it will be issued daily. The BEE is next to the oldest paper published in the United States by colored men. The San Fran- cisco Elevator and Christian Reco er are the oldest. There will also be a change in its editorial staff in the way of makingan addition thereto. DEMOCRATIC CONFER- ENCE.

American cotton goods are spp- planting to an importont degree a sertain class of British dry goods heretofore sold in Harti. The British Acting Consul General Tweedy, reports the surplapting of British “Brabants, Oxfords, nan~ kinettes and drills, and, in fact; of most articles used here by the greater part of the population for outer wear, by American man ufac- tured articles which are described as 29-inch checks, 26 incn Sun, 25- inch Toledo, 24 inch Farmer.” The official points out that these Amer~ ican are appreciated for the soft finish of the cotton ahd their last - ing colors, particularly on blue_ grounds, and that their importa_ tion has very largely iucreaed du ring the last few years, notwith- standing the fact that the American manufacturer allows only from two to three months’ credit, wherers the British shipper allows six months’ credit. In this way t e benefits of Reciprocity begin to be felt and appreciated.

Thornton and Thomas Caloway from the editoria! and business management of the American is yet a sseret. This much of the unpublished history of this bubble institution has not been ma de public. Thornton from his own _ asser- tion told that he conceived the idea of running a newspaper; that he and Calo- vay had put up 2il the money and he was involved to the amouut of one thousand dollars; that no account of moneys had been given into the firm by the man- ager Mr. Cooper which they could not stand. On the other hand Cooper asserts neither Thornton or Caloway had put one cent in the fi:m; that they had no money only what they borrowed frhm W. Mathews the broker. How h money they borrowed from Mat- is not known, perhaps they didn’t borrow any. Just before the retire- ment of Mr. Thornton he was compell- ed to put his‘hand in his pocket and pay out onehundred dollars to enable the paper to come out on that Satuaday. Mr. Thornton got tired of that kind of business especially when no returns from the pz had. been reported to the treasure Mr. Caloway. THE $600 WORTH OF TYPE that the manager told the two partners Thornton and Caloway that he had bought in Baltimore didn’t materialize. in said Mr. Thoraton why did you, . Cooper go to Baltimore and pur- » type without the consent of the firm? O! Lhave the receipts said Mr. Cooper. It is reported that Cooper had bills but no receipts. PILOT OUTFIT NO ACCOUNT GIV OF HE the former manager of the Pi- from the Americans own ad- 1 on tre Pilot business did not amount to the paper it was written on. Preperations were going on in the meantime to have the American se* up in the Tlerald Office.

This _proposi tion was not accepted he e the finan” cial ability of the American would not permit i The Herald office did rent the use of its type tothe American for so much per week aud on a certain o ion the manager threatened to iron the Herald manager because he refused to all w the forms to go out of the office without making a settlement for the iweek A few daysago Mr. Henry L._ Pryer stated to the BEE that he and Lenard and others had claims against the Amer- for type setting.
