So far as the officers of the law were concerned this law applied to the District of Columbia as long as colored people were arrested and convicted, but as seon as Detective Proctor caught a religious hypocrite and a clerk in one of the depart- ments, a white man, the presump- tion was soon prevalent that the law did not apply to the District of Columbia and suspended farther prosecutions and convictions until the Court of Appeals settles a case that is now being considered by that court. The same methods would be resorted to if the whip- ping post was in operation. The moment a white man was thrashed the whole community would rise up in arms and declare that it was bar- barous. ; If the Court of Appeals should sustain the constitutionality or the legality of the Edmunds law the BEE would suggest that the first arrest that should take place be in Congress or the head of some of the departments. When this is done let the case be carried to the Court of Appeals on a writ of error and the Bx is confident that there will be no more Edmunds law. , ——_—_—_—_ The Negroes in South Carolina have been disfranchised by the de- mocracy and yet NegroesZwant to be Democrats. The more the Democrats thrash the Negroes the more they appre- ciate the party Senator Gorman of Maryland is declaring that there shall be no Negro domination in Maryland. It is strange that he has appointed so many of them to office in this city. BISHOP TURNRI Bishop H. M. again and says 2,000,000 negroes Turner bobs up that he wants to make homes in Liberia. No doubt Bishop Turner is cor- rect, but why is it that he refuses to go to Liberia and stay and tell the people on this side that he wants them to come over ? Why doesn’t he example ? If he is acting in good faith, now is the time for him to show it. Bishop Turner goes to Africa and remains long enough not to catch the fever, returns and tells the peo- ple that it is a country of milk and honey. first set the SUPT. COOK. Superintendent Cook had more important business to attend than to allowthe public schools to be interfered with, by a local commis- sion to get up a display for the At- lanta Exposition? Why should the colored schools be compelled to take any more interest than the white schools. The Atlanta Exposition was for all classes regardless of color or conditions. Mr. Cook should be sustained by trustees to whom was referred Mr. Lawson’s communication for con- sideration. Mr. Lawson claims the commis- sion would pay the necessary eX- penses, and still itis claimed that quite a number of exhibits were left behind because there was not sufficient funds to defray the ex- penses. Mr. Cook knows better what the schools want than those on the outside. THE POLITICIANS. It is indeed disgusting and dis- graceful to the republican party in the District of Columbia. It is re- ported that quite a number of Southern politicians have been writ- ing to candidates demanding money. These appeals, it is learned come from the Southern politicians. The Presidential candidates have no doubt become disgusted at the im- portunities of these Southern poli- ticians. Men who are not able to pay for their election have no busi- ness to ask for the honor of being elected a delegate. If the peuple want a man a bea candidate to represent them they will certainly elect him with or without money. This city is the dumping ground for every pot house politician. Quite a number of these would be leaders are only negroes out of office, and as one of the politicians remarked the other night, there are negroes who have heretofore been attempting to pass for white in of- fice, but the moment the democratic administration came in power and kicked these nondescript out of of- fice, the night is made hideous by their cries in defense of the negro. The BEE would suggest to the District republicans not to be fooled by these men who are now asking you to give them your votes. These men could not be found when it tried men’s souls to be a republican. Perry Carson with all his faults must be given the credit of sticking to the principles of the republican party. Of course this time the Colonel will be retired, He will go down with the proud satisfaction of know- ing that he has won many a battle and had he been as true to his friends as his friends have been to him he would to-day have the un- divided support of the republican party in the District of Columbia. AUTHORITY OF THE COM- MISSIONERS. The District Commissioners have authority to make certain or all public regulations, but it has not, as Judge Kimball has wisely de- cided, had any authority to make laws for the District of Columbia. Congress can alone make laws for the city and the counties thereof. OUR NIGHT ‘SCHOOLS. The night svhools have opened, and to the surprise of the recent graduates, who thought they would have been appointed, the trustees appointed the day teachers and one Mrs. Hellen Smith, formerly Miss Hellen Ricks. The recent graduates of the Nor- mal School should have been ap- pointed as the teachers who were appointed had schools with one ex- ception. It is rather hard on those young ladies who toiled and labored to graduate to be ignored as they have been. The colored schools need a reorganization and the sooner men are appointed on the board, who have nerve to stick to what they do and what is needed, the better it will be for the schools. Our High School isin need of a principal who can bring the schools up to a high intellectual basis. The colored schools are behind in many respects, where the fault is, no one knows but those who have charge of the schools. The Daily Opinion, a seven column folio, published in Atlanta, Ga., has been placed on our ex- change list. It isa newsy, bright journal and from all appearance has come to stay. We wishit long life. In the report of the trustees of the public schools, it will be seen that Misses Belle Russell and Maria‘ Jordan have been reinstated. What the people want to know is, were these teachers dropped for cause; if so, what was the cause ? {sit evidence that is wanted, or what is it? No “Negro domination” is the war cry in Maryland. The trustees of the public schools have ignored some of the recent graduates and appointed some out- siders to night schools. The Democratic party will no doubt see the necessity of ignoring the Negro altogether. The colored Democrat will see that the Democratic party does not insert in its state constitution fa clause disfranchising the Negro. In the death of Gen. Wm. Ma- hone the country loses one of its most brilliant statesmen. ‘Let him rest in peace.” The people in the south and northeast want a colored sergeant appointed. Our esteemed contemporary the Colored American, is a genial fel- low with an inventive imagination. Brother Cooper knows how to make bows to suit all occasions. This District politicians will no doubt learn some sense shortly. Up to date there are twelve candi- dates in the field. Lawyer E. M. Hewlett has an- nounced himself a candidate _ His speech was a firebrand on Wednes- day night. There ought to be more business enterprises in the city. ipareiaa is: There will be two colored trus- tees retired when the Commission- ers decide to take up the school (RESNOR The ‘outlook i in Maryland i is very bright. LOOKING FOR BOODLE. =The number of candidates for the next Republican convention are more numerous than they are in the states where they elect from 50 to 100. Every cross-road_poli- tician is a candidate and more or less the colored candidates are looking for the man who has the boodle. It is amusing to see the kind and their pedigree. If the Atlanta Exposition is all that those say who have been to Atlanta no doubt the exposition is a good one. Mr. Lawson states that it is the best he ever attended and the colored exhibit is all that it has been represented. ONE FOR JUDGE BRADLEY. The opinion of Justice Bradley in the case of Major Armes read like one of Cvsar’s charges on the enemy. A man who is clothed with a lit- tle authority very often goes beyond the limit. General Schofield only satisfied his personal pique when he ordered the arrest of Major Armes. What is the American government com- ing to? Why can’t a man ask his superior officer why he has been ill- treated without being incarcerated? This is all Major Armes is guilty of if anything. The arrest was unjust, arbitrary, unlawful and tyrannical, If any one is to be court-martialed it ought to be Gen. Schofield. THE DISTRICT JAIL. Warden Li ame), of the District jail, has made several improvements at the jail. The system that he has adopted now puts the jail in a better condition than it has ever been before. A door has been cut from the ward- en’s office into the rotunda, which gives the occupants of that office free exit to the rotunda. The reeent death of Capt. Wm. C. Crocker has thrown a gloom over the jail. He was a man loved by all who knew him and quite a favorite with Warden Leonard, the guards, and prisoners at the jail. Warden Leonard has not felt so well since his return from Louisville, Ky. CUBA MAY GET RECOGNITION DE QUESADA, THE REVOLUTIONARY SECRETARY, IN WASHINGTON. Attempt May be Made to Bring the Matter Before Congress in the Regular Way at the Next Session—Mistakes Made on Such Occasions Previously are to be Avoided— Course Adopted in Regard to Securing the Recognition of the South Ameri- can States Likely to be Closely Followed —Diplomatic Correspondence Recalled. Washington, Oct. 8—Gonzales de Que- sada, secretary of the Cuban revolu- tionary party, with headquarters in New York, has been in Washington on private business. He did not see Secre- tary Olney, nor were any steps taken toward securing the recognition of the Cuban insurgents as belligerents. The policy of the Cubans in seeking recognition of the United States has been outlined substantially as follows: No application will be made to the ex- ecutive branch of the government un- til Congress assembles. It is the feel- ing that even if the executive authori- ties were disposed to recognize the Cu- bans, the action would involve such grave responsibilities that the execu- tive branch would desire to have the co-operation and support of Congress. Care will be taken, also, that there is uniformity in the steps proposed to Congress. In this way the mistakes made at the time of the last Cuban up- rising would be avoided. At that time there were no less than forty different Cuban resolutions referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, propos- ing recognition, arbitration and many other plans for the relief of Cuba. In connection with the probable pres- entation of the subject to Congress and the executive branch, an interesting precedent has been found in the ar- chives of the State Department. It in- volves the recognition by President Monroe of the South and Central Amer- ican republics when they broke away from Spain. The Spanish Minister at Washington made the most urgent pro- test, to which John Quincy Adams, Secretary of State, replied, stating the policy of this government in giving recognition. The propositions then ad- vanced by Spain and the replies made by the United States are said to be ex- 1D person or by Lettez. @ proper remedy for your trouble. DR&.

President Monroe sent a message to Congress in March, 1822, in which he proposed the recognition of the insur- gent governments in Spanish America, as then designated, and including Mex- ico, Peru, Chili, Colombia, Brazil and other countries. On March 2, 1822, Senor Anduaga, the Spanish Minister, ad- dy ed a letter to Secretary Adams, ex- pressing his astonishment at the course of the President. After reciting many acts of kindaess Spain had done for the United States, the Minister says: “But even admitting that morality ought to yield to policy, what is the present state of Spanish-America, and what are its governments, to entitle them to recognition? Buenos Ayres is sunk in the most complete anarchy, and each day sees new despots produced, who disappear the next. Peru, con- quered by a rebel army, has near the gates of its capital a Spanish army. In Chili, an individual suppresses the sen- timents of the people. On the coast of Firma, also, the Spanish banners wave. The insurgent generals everywhere are occupied with quarrels among them- selves. In Mexico there is no govern- ment. Where, then, are the govern- ments which ought to be recognized?” Secretary Adams’ answer is dated April 6, 1822. He says he at once laid the Spanish Minister’s letter before the President. The latter desired the friend- liest relations with Spain. But, in re- cognizing the Southern countries, the President Lad been governed by fac! which, Mr. Adams pointed out, were quite different from the facts set forth by the Minister. Mr. Adams laid down the general principles governing the recognition of the new countries. Gne was the principle of right, the other the principle of fact. The Secretary that the United States h frained from taking ar outbreak, and had maiitained a most impartial neutrality. But thecontestanis had set up their own government: d had successfully resisted Spain. » were conditions of fact, and they \._re oh as to entitle the insurgent coun- tries to recognition.
