The editor of the Freeman wants to know too much. Editor ‘stwood says that Ta\lor has done the square thing towards Cooper. The Globe charges certain negro editors with being bovdle editors. The Bex is a friend to the recorder if he is a friend to himself. The Defender tells how Dr. Purvis was removed. Men who make promises should keep them. The BEE is not the organ of any ¢lique. It is a true Defender and a colored American that is able to go around the Globe. The Globe is striking back. If Taylor was wrong two months ago, there is no reason that he should continue to go wrong. The Globe is red hot after the re corder’s enemies The President will not disturb the recorder of deeds. The President is of the opinion that Taylor has done no more than what others have done. The BkE is the people’s Defender and a colored American, and will go all around the Globe.

The Commissioners should remove Daiey, and at once. Other members of the force have been removed for a le-s offense than what Daley has committed. FREDERIVK DOUGLASS. The Sage of nacostia was in his glory on last Tuesday evening. He made the opeuing address before the Bethel Literary Association, Mr. Douglass is just as vigorous as he was fif y years ago. He spoke well; he was oloquen: and logical. He can tell the story more eloqueutly and logically than the English peer; he knuws what to say and how to say it.

Chicago, Nov. 13.—The United States Government Commission’s re- port on the strike in connection with the Puilman trouble has been made public. The report, which is signed by Federal Labor Commissioner Car- roll D. Wright and his fellow-investi- gators, John D. Kernan, of New York, and Nicholas R. Worthington, of Chi- cago, is addressed to President Cleve- land.

The Commission does not feel warranted to recommend the licens- ing of the higher railroad officials. The Commission urges employers | everywhere to recognize labor unions and suggests the adoption of a gen- eral policy of concession and concili- ation between labor and capital, THE ST. LOUIS.
