TBE ELECTION. Well, just as the BrE predicted; Hi!l was defeated in New York and the next House of Representatives will be Republican. Mr. Hill was too ambitious , b- could not expect Mr, Cleveland to support bim whea he, in 1888 was the cause of Mr. Cleveland’s defeat by his trade in New York. The citizens of New York cer- tainly want a clean government and the defeat of the Tammany ticket means a clean government in the Sate of New York. Morton is elected, there 1s no doutt, Wilson, the author of the wild cat tariff bill is also defeated. The Negro democrats were weighed in the balance and found wanting. This is because the proper men hare not been selected to represent the Democratic administration. Mr. Cleveland, as well as the Democratic mana- gers are couvinced that the Negro Demoerts under the Matthews regime were recogn zed. There was a healthy Negro Democratic vote that could always be depended ou The defeat of Mr. Hill in New York means that the State of New York wants a clean and pure administration. The ej;es of the country were centered op that State and the result was not @ surprise to the people, ExMayor Grant takes bis defeat philosophically and encourages his party to hope for success in 1836. Tammany Hall is no more and it will go in history embedded i corruption and defeat. OUR SCHOOLS, There is no reason why one class of mariied women should be allowed to teach in the public schools aud another class pro- hibited, and when they ask the reason of the discrimination they are told there 1s a law against it. Will one of the trustees of the public schools answer this ques tion? Lbere are two married women in the high school substituting when their places should be beld by those who are more in need. Mrs. Julia M. Layton, wife of Mr. J.T. Layton, is a substitute in the high school; Mrs. Terrell, wife of Mr. Robert H. Terrell, formerly chief of a division in the Fourth Auditoi’s office, has been teaching in the high school during the long illness of Mrs. Patterson and since ber death. She is drawing fall pay. It would have Deen better if the trustees had appointed one of the older teachers who is principal of one of the buildings which would have created a vacancy for one of the normal school graduates. Mrs. Layton’s husband 1s a music teacher in the eighth school divis- ion and drawing a salary suflieient ly large enough to support a wife. Why not give some of the poor, unemployed normal school grad- uates a show? It is about time that the trustees ot the schools puta halt to this kind of discrimination as the people do not propose to stand it much longer. — A MEDICAL At last the colored } sicians of this city have come to a 2 conclusion, and that is to organize a medi i ty oflicered by eminent. phy ns of their own nationality,thus giving the white prejudiced medical society of this city to understand that the negro will no longer be under any obligations to them. A few suggestions to the movers of this new organization will not be out of place. The officers should be men of ability and influence. Admission to men bership should be based upon abil- | ity and chz terand not sentiment. Agreat dealof good can be accom- plished if the organization if properly conducted. In another column of this paper will seen a letter to the editor signed by 1 well-known phy Drs. F. J. Shadd, John &. F aniel H. ‘ani as Martin If colored lawy would take into their heads the importance of a similar organization the legal profession would be held in higher esteem. A!l reform movements succeed in course of time. ms, John C. Norwood and Thom. | j i DOUGLASS VS. LANGS#ON. |THE BRAYING OF AN ABs. THE ENMITY OF THE SAGE OF ANA- COSTIA — HIS FLATTERING LETTER Se iD AND FOLLOWED BY AT.. In this week’s issue of the Bee a little unwritten history will be giv- en concerning the attacks ot Hon. Fred. Douglass on Hon. John M. Langston. Mr. Langston has always been willing to shake bands with Mr. D uglass. He has never b-en the mau to make a personal attack on him, but whenever an occ sion pre- sented itself Mr. Dougl ss always embraced it co attack Mr. Langs ton. The obj-ct of the Bee in publich- ing this unwritten history concern- ing the house of the Douglassex, i. that Mr. Charles R. Douglass in the Colored American, a few w: 6:8 ago, published a letter in which he said that the Bee editor 1a; fer years been attack ng public men. We want to show that all the public attacks that have been made through the columns of the Bee have been made by either Caarles R. Douglass or his father, and at their dictation, either by word or unier nomdeplume communica- tions, which the Bee bas in its pos- session. Mr. Langston’s son got into trouble some few years ago, and at the anniversary celebration of the emancipation of slaves in the Di-- trict of Columbia, cn which occa- sion Mr. Vouglas3 waa _ the orator of the evening; Mr. Douglass at ticked Mr. Langston and bis son, Some time after that Mr. Langston attacked Hov, Jobn J, Iugalls, then a Senator from tbe State of Kansas, from his strictures cn the negro. Mr. Douglass wrote Mr. Langston a letter complimenting him for that reply to Lagal's, which is teprodaced below with Mr. Laugston’s letter to the editor of the Bee: HILLSIDE CoTTAGE, Washington, D.C., Oct. 31, ’94. DEAR Mr. CHASE: As per your request, verbally made, in a conversation which 1 had with you to-day, I herewith hand you a copy of a letter which I received on the 19th day of June, 1893. I have never at any time entertained or expressed approval of any views held or expressed by ex Senator Ingalis with respect to Negro suffrage. Nor have I ever proposed myself any curtailment or qualification of the suffrage either upon color or nationaliiy. I have al- ways fayored one rule for every Amer- ican citizen, to be sustained and en- forced in behalf of every one entitled thereto. This you know very well; and you know more, that whenever my voice, my influence, my efforts, and my vote have been needec to promote the welfare of the colored American they have been given freely without stint and without remunera- tion. I have deemed it not only a duty but an exalted privilege and pleasure, to serve my race. And no honest man, tolerably informed can question in any just sense this statement. And how any fair-minded person, himself intel- ligently and heartily interested in the colored people of the United Svate-, could rank me with any class of their opposers I do not understand. Yours, : JOHN M. LANGSTON. EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE De Cuicaco, Commission Haitienne, June 17, ’93 Hon. JoHN MERCER LANGSTON, Sir: Not even the fear of miscon- struction shall prevent the expression of my approval of your ample and ad- mirable reply to the infamous attack of Senator Ingalls on the colored citizens of the Republic. You have done many good things during your public life wor- thy of your name and fame, but you have done no" hing more worthy of your bead and heart than unhorsing this mad- cap exSenator. As one of those who should be especially grateful, I give you hearty thanks for your work. It has the merit of being on time. Ingalls seems not to know that he is dressing himself in the musty rags of a bygone generation. Somebody ought to tell him that Calhoun is dead and that slav- ery is abolished, and that even he, him- self, sa political possibility is blotted out forever. Faithfully yours, (Signed.) FREDERICK DOUGLASS. Haytian Pavilion, Jackson Park. Immediately after this letter was sent or very soon after this gieat “Sage of Anacostia, the great lover of his race,” made a vile and malicious attack on Mr. Langston while he way a candidate for Con- gress from the Fourth Virginia district. Notwithstanding this bit- ter attack on Mr, Langston he was elected. Mr. Douglass next at- tacked Prof. Langston in the Metropolitan Church while be was sitting on the stagein the presence _of Mr. Donglass and shortly after Mr. Douglass wrote Mr. Langston that flattering letter. Every pub lic man is an eyesore to the eyes of the Douglass’, nd matter what he may do or say,either bis son Charles or the old man will try to defame him before the people. It is the nature of the men; they were Dorn in Maryland no doubt and nothivg more vould be ex- pected. The Greener matter willl appear next week. The Board of Trade of this city favors placing the District effices under civil service. Well, this board 1s like some white people in the South; the Negroes are not permitted to say a werd in shaping the affairs of the governmen’. will | There shou'd be a Negro board or trade organized. J. Silas Harris, who parts bis name as well as his hair in the middle,ialwavs braying like one half of tuose. Kansas asses. Tne Bre still says that the pnblic schouls of this city are supported by the peo; le, and there sre young ladies fully competent to be ap poioted in the High School without importing teachers or anything else from Kansas. This lady-will nev. r fill a position in the D strict High School, and should she be appoint ed over the protest of the people you can depend on it that she will pot have but one vear to stay. If this -*braying ass” will come to Washington the Bee will very soon} iuform him what right it bas to protect the interests of the people. Superintendent C ok informed the Bea last week that the a-s of the Kansas City Messenger published an untrath to the «ff ct that Miss Jones will be appoint: d in. the High School. KEEP YOUR PROMISE. Be he a }0 :tician, preacher or what oct, if he makes promises be should keep them. A man who vakes promi-es for s+rvices render ed and doe n’t keep them, must suffer the consequences. No man can hope to succeed without keep ing bis prom ses; be may taink that the pathway is clear, but he often finds tho: ns, stones nd sticks in his way, thus prev: ing a free passage. What.confronts u: tolay? Toe promises of a politiciau not Kep‘. If he talls it will be his own fault and not the Bre’s Meu es well ax women should so act as to establish confidence iv what they say and do. People often regret what they should have done after it 1s too late. It is just as easy to do a thing without tron- ble as well as to be forced to do it. EDITOR. CHASE “ BESTS” Us. From the Indianapolis Freeman. Will Brother Chase please explain whut-he is driving at in the following excert taken from the wide-awake BEE of last iseue? “ Mr. W. Allison Sweeney, who took part in the movement with Purvis was attacked editorially through the col- umns of the BEE by Frederick Doug- lass, jr. The attack was written in the Recorder’s office and revised by the old man.” Now its barely possible, editorially, at some time, forgotten by us, we may have taken part in some movement looking to the public good, engaged in by Prof. Purvis, but to save us we can- not recall it, nor the attack our dear friend Chase permitted Mr. Douglass to make upon us. Now our esteeme! contemporary has forgotten the iuci ‘ent of the Purvis attack in which be wasa prominent figure. B other Swee- ney, it was woen Hoo. Rohert Purvis was supporting the inde pendent movementin P.nusylvania Do you now remember? SERGEANT FALVY. One of the most efficient and.reliable officers on the Metropolitan police force is Sergeant Falvy. If there ever was a man who deserves promotion it is he. He has done more to break up the ille- gal sale of liquors in this city than any officer on the force. He knows no man by his color, but he has sense enough to know how to treat and protect the in- nocent against the guilty. Let this worthy man be promoted. JUDGE KIMBALL CHANGED HIS MIND. The three colored boys who were sent to the workhouse on Monday charged with playing hide and seek were dis- charged fe 5 udge Kimball in the police court on Wednesday morning. Judge Kimball directed the boys ‘io be brought before him, which wasdone, and in disposing of the case he asked them if they would promise him that they would keep out cf that shed he would release them as he thought they had been confined long enough. The release of these boys is due to Mr. Brooks, the reporter for the Evening Star, who, at the time of these boys’ ar- rest and sentence, condemned it. The colored voters of Davidson Coun- ty, Tennessee, have issued a circular to the white republicans of the South pro- testing against them on account of dis- crimination in the way of recognition. Itisclaimed in the circular that the party never sought victory for the good of the people, but its chief design has ever been and still appears to be to maintain a wieldy minority of corrupt and venial schemes. —™___== David B.

Montreal, Oct. 30—A cable message lias been sent to Scotland Yard detee- ives to hold James Mullins, arrested in London on the charge of stealing 335,000 belonging to James Darling, of ihis city. Mullins was for several years employed on the Darling Farm it Hochelaga, noted as a breeding place of valuable horses. He was looked upon as a most trustworthy man about the farm, and often received important commissions to execute. About six weeks ago the firm shipped consign- ments of horses for sale on the London market. Mullins had full charge of the horses, with instructions to sell at the best possible figure. The horses reached London in good condition, and Mullins promptly disposed of them for $35,000. He then disappeared, but the Scotland Yard men, who were notified, arrested him. He will be brought back for trial. ALMOST A PANIC. A Fire Near = Theatre and Hotel in Philadelphia. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 30.—J. J. Porter & Co., wholesale dealers in millinery and notions, at Nos. 820-824 Liberty street, were entirely burned out last night. Loss on stock is $200,000. The building, which is owned by B. F. Jones and valued at $50,000, is almost entirely destroyed. The Porter build- ing is located between the Academy of Music and the Seventh Avenue Hotel. When the flames broke out there was a mad rush by the patrons of the Acad- emy to reach the exits. For a time it looked as if there would be a panic. bbs One Hundred Pounds of Gold Dust. Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 30.—The steam- er Chilcat, from Alaska, brought down 100 pounds of gold dust, worth $30,- 000, the result of the clean up of the season’s work by four miners on the Yukon River. The steamer Bertha is now on the way to San Francisco with $200,000 in gold obtained in the same diggings. Eight hundred miners are to winter on the Yukon River this season, and there is danger of a scar- sity of provisions. Drought in South Dakota. Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 30.—W. J. Wagner, travelling agent for the Great Northern road, has returned from a trip through the northern part of the State, which was severely stricken with the drought. He reports the peo- ple there in destitute circumstances. Near Osceola and west of it whole townships were left by the sun and wind as dry and barren as a desert and stock was rendered worthless as there is no feed. One family was found eating horse flesh. Could Not Hear the Cars. Delaware, O., Oct. 30—While a freight train was passing through the Big Four yard yesterday a switch en- gine sent a cut of cars down a side track. The rattle of the freight drowned the noise of the cars and a gang of section men was struck. John O'Donnell was cut in two. Foreman John Kraus had his foot mashed. John Quinn, John Caseman and another man were slightly injured. Morley and the Irish Prisoners. Dublin, Oct. 30.—John Morley, Chief Secretary of Ireland, received a depu- tation who had called upon him to de- mand the release of the Irish political priseners now confined in Irish and English prisons. Mr. Morley informed the deputation that the Cabinet had decided that the law must take its course. Got Ten Yea: Richmond, S. I., Oct. 30.—Thomas F. Burke, the old man who set the trap gun which exploded and killed Henry Bernmann, of South Beach, several months ago, was yesterday sentenced by Justice Cullen to ten years in Sing Sing.

The Dalles, Ore., Oct. 30.—The par- ties who robbed the Pacific Express Company's office in this city of $14,- 000 on October 12 have been placed un- der arrest and all but $200 of the mon- ey recovered.
