OPEN LETTER TO COMMIS- SIONER PARKER. Col. M. M. Parker:—Since my last letter to you, nothing strange has occurred, I suppose you read what I said bot whether you intend to act is a question of cunjecture, The District republicans Col. were under the impression when Mr. Harrison appointed you Dis- trict Commissioner, that they would have a man with back bone| and a man who would look out for the interest of republicans, be they black or white. It is admmitted, that your interest is in white repub- licans, and such white republicans who may be “starving to death.” Of course the negroes must saf- ter; they must give way to white men and such white men who may have been defaulters. In the letter addressed to you last week ycur attention was called to the Fire department in which no colored men are employed. Is it your intention to remedy the evils that now exist in that de- partment? Do you intend to protect the interest of the colored people? Are you aware that the colored people own over ten millions of doi- lars in property? Asa matter of fact their representation in the District government is very small, indeed there are not enough employed to filla room ten by ter. Perhaps your real estate business 18 of such a character that you cans not give the necessary attention or time to public affairs. What would you do, Col. if a colored man should conducta large real estate business and draw a government salary ? Of cuurse you can do as you please; the position you hold as Commissioner allows you the p ivi- lege of doing what you please. My dear sir: The people of this city are getting tired of maintaip- ing an autociatic government; they waut representation in Congress and the right to elect their own Execative officers. When Col. John W. Douglass was Commissioner, by the way you succeeded hit which was a mistake, the people thought or rather the politicians that be was not the right man for District re- publicans. They have siuce seen their mistake in aszing president Harrison to appoint a man in bis place. Col. Douglass was not affected with the big head Col. Parker; he did not thivk that it was necessary to have a private room conuected to his office. He was too big a man for that. Of course you are aware that small men have to do strange things to get newspaper notoriety. One would snp;ose that the president of the Board of Commis- sioners would need a private rvom ora “speak easy.” Some people imagine that they are greater than what they are. You have no idea how small you are in the estimation of district republicans. You made a great bluster and bluff some time ago for waich the republicans commended you and concluded that they had a republi- can Commissioner with sand. The only man with saad was Col. Douglass. That is the only republican Com- missioner. Col. Ross will be reappointed. This ought to be news to you; one tbing about him no matter with whom he associates he never catches the distemper. in my next I shall tell you something worth knowing. Hopiog that you epjoyed your Thanksgiving turkey, Believe me to be Yours truly, Tue EpITor. A Great Revival. For the last two weeks the Metropoli- tan Baptist church, R between 12th and 13th St. n.w., Rev. Robert Johnson, D, b., pastor has been a scene of a great religious revival, conducted by R ‘W. M. Robinson, of Fredricksburg, Va. Rev. Robinson has m de a strong im- pression on the people an! the good work he is doing tu save sinners has commended him to the pastor and officers of the church. There is no man in the vacinity of the Metropolitan church has done as much to improve the condition of the pl» as Dr. Johnson and the success e is meeting with in this great work will be a monument to his wemory. CaRSON RESIGNED? RATS. He was an Offensive Partisan — Tell the Truth Perry and be Blessed. Now the news come that Perry H. Carson, one of the night street inspec- tors has tendered his resignation to the Commissioners on account of ill health. There never was a tale more milky than this. Perry saysin his letter: ‘Owing to the bad condition of my health I am constrained to tender my resignation as insp ctor of street sweeping d-part- m-nt ge My physican, Dr. Purvis, thinkS it would be unwise for me to continue the night service in which I am at present engaged. The exposure and loss of sleep. is too much for me. I thank you for the consideration you have shown me ” Dr. Purvis told Perry to resign? Who ever heard of a negro resigning office on account of ill health. A negro officer is like many white ones he dvesn’t resign only when death calls him. Such a death trap as Liberia, and the negroes know that they cannot live there, but yet, they all want the mission. Perry resigned? Oh! no. Perry held on to that office as 1-ng he could and only resigned when he was asked to do so which was a surprise to him. Major Moore, the democratic chief of police and other district democrats on whom Perry called, it is reported, to have him retained assured Perry that he would not be distu bed. Perry never was in better health than he is now, weighs more and he informed the butcher Wi eman in the K street market that he was living ou good chicken meit in Ivy City, It is the first time in the history of the life of Perry that he has taken some ones advice. Dr. Purvis is to be congratulated in advising a colored man to resign and give up a 90 dolla job, especially h rd astim sare The BEE has always said that Dr. Purvis was a race man, but it is now compelled to change its opinion. ee WILL JOIN HANDS, Cc. H. J. Taylor Will be Deposed by the Combine, There isa great deal of dissatisfac- tion against M. C H. J. Taylor on the part of the two colored democratic or- ganizations. Messrs. James A. Ross and H.C. C, Astwood will join hands and conso idate their organizations in the interest of democracy. Mr. Ast- wood it is reported will be the chair- man of his combine, ‘Taylor has been charged with double dealing which has met witn dissatisfac- tiou among those with whom he pre- vivusly allicd himself. Taylor is now in Cincinnatti, Ohio and when he returns he will find him- self in the soup with his faithful allies. — FOR SALE. Rare bargains in lots. i Rednced prices to suit the times.

Every body is tre:ted well at Mr. Keen’s, from a coal heaver to a cabinet officer. MINISTERIAL TIPS, Rev. J. Anderson Taylor is a practi- cal and matter of fact man. _Rev. Daily is an honest man full of simplicity. He says but a little. Rev. Fields Coek is all smiles. He belongs to the old school Baptist. He mens well, Rev. Gibbons is like his father. Full ot vim and push. He has a brilliant future before him, Rev. R. S. Laws means well and when he hits the truth it is by accident or because he can’t help it. Rev. Sterling M. Brown has race pride. He loves his home. He is a quiet man and not artificial. Rev. R. R, Porter is a man for self. No matter who sinks as long as Porter can swim. He isa surface man on the order of Rev. Howard. Rev. James H. Howard, never practi- ces what he preaches. He lacks race pride. Rev. Howard is too young to be so artificial. He gets too far from his people. Rev. Sandy Alexander, the father of the negro pulpit never fails to do what he says. He loves his home and chil- dren, He never misses a good oportu- nity. He will always help those near and dear to him. Ingratitude has been his reward. — some The concert by Madame Sissarett Jones, under the management of Mr. Geo. Martin, was largely attended at the Metropolitan church Thanksgiving evening. Mr. Martin is a success in anything he undertakes and th concert on this occasion was a musical and financial success. ———. Fortune-Teller and Clairvoyant.
