The demand that The BzE has been making for the last two or three years for a colored judge for the lower branch of the Police Court is gaining popularity. In conversation with many prominent white members of the bar, demo- crats at that, a colored judge, they say, would not be out of place in the lower branch of the Police Court. ‘Fhe demand that The Bze is mak- ing for the appointment of a ecol- ored judge is nothing new. It is always necessary to get the people educated up o this advanced <octrine of The BrE before it is put into practical operation. Yes, the colored people in addition to a colored judge want an Assistant Prosecuting Officer. The District Attorney is a repub- licar, but perhaps he would havea iticnry in appointing one under a democratie administration. If such is the case, Mr. Birney need not have fear. The appoing- ment would mect the approval of honest men. A prominent white democrat, one who stands high in the counsels of his party, said on last Tuesday, of this week, that the colored peop'e in this city should receive mere recognition. The negre is barred from the courts entirely, except as a lawyer, ani he will be barred in that if he is not more manly. The white republicans in and around the courts are more inimical tothe negro than the democrats Yes, there will be a change and it is not far off. Why should all the bailiff’s of the court be white men when there are so many negroes te be handled? Why not give the negro a show. Let the present form of Govern- ment be abolished. JAMES L, PAUGH. The Prosecuting Attorney of the lower Police Court, Mr. James L. Paugh is beyond all doubt the most popular and best liked man wh has ver filled that position. His predecessors more or less have all been republicans, with but two exceptions, and if the question was asked the members of the bar, white er black, if they would sup- port a candidate for Mr. Paugh’s place the answer would be ‘‘no.”’ Mr. Paugh is a Southern gentle- ma” and he has made himself popu- lar by t- eating all classes alike, the tramp as well as the gentleman. That is, the tramp receives the same protection against oppression as the best well to do citizen The colored attorney is given the same consideration and treated with the same respect as any member of the Supreme Court. He has the respect and confi- dence of all. No member of the bar will speak disrespectable of Mr. Paugh. BRUCE AND LYNCH. For a number of years these two distinguished Afro-Americans have been the targets of men who have no political sagacity, nor did they possess social or political influence. Whatever their faults have been, if they have any, one thing can be said in their favor and that is, they have been true to the people they have represented, and honorable men to the positions they have filled. Every once and a while you will -@ee some bob-tail negro jump up "and declare that these two men have done nothing for their people; that they only represent themselves or itis necessary for the race to de- Rl PIE ay ne - $2.00) clare some negro who has been a feilure, the leader of the people. No one knows these two gentle- men better than the editor of this paper. Both of these men are the true representatives of the colered people of this country and no two men have done more for the wel- fare and elevation of the race than Bruce and Lynck. All the barking of the dogs and the scratching of the cats will not disturb them in mind, nor will they tumble from the topmost rounds of their popularity. They have done more for the race and they can do more than those who are endeavor- ing to disgrace them. SIX O'CLOCK CLOSING. It must be admitted that the clerks in the several stores of this city deserve great consideration as well as sympathy from the public. Mr. P. C. Garden, no deubt one of the most conscientious and trustworthy business men in this community is greatly in sympathy with the many thousands clerks who are employed in the many business houses of this city, and isin favor of «ll stores being closed at 6 o’clock during the heated season and indeed during the entire year around, The overworked elerks are en- titled to sympathy and consider- ation during these hot days and when Mr. Garden said, that ail stores ought to close at 6 o’clock during the Summer, he meant it and The Bgg is confident that he would lead off if there are others who will follow. Why not close at 6 o’clock ? Is it not enough for the clerks to be upand open the store, some at 6 a.m. and others at 7 and 8 a. m? Why then should they be com- peiled to remain in until 7 or 8 o’clock and indeed, some at 9 p.m. On Saturday nights some stores keep open until 11 or 12 o’clock. Is not these hours too long ? While the business men are con- sidering their own welfare, why not consider the interest of their faithful clerks ? PUBLIC PRINTER BENEDICT. For over twelve years The BEE has known Public Printer Benedict and during which time, although he is a democrat, and The Bex a republican journal, he has been a good friend to the colered employ- ees of his office. While there have been criticisms against him on account of colored printers having been discharged, he has certainly appointed other colored men to positions on merit and not color. Net since the organization of that office, has there been one Re- publican Public Printer, who has had the courage to appoint a col- ored foreman of anything nor has there been one who would dare to appoint a colored pressman. Mr. Benedict has not only de- fended the interest of the colored employees of his office, but he has appointed the first colored press- man in the press-room, a full- blooded negro. And as The BEE stated before he appointed a colored man foreman of the map room, over white men and women, and gave those to un- derstand who didn’t care to work under him, that their resignation would be accepted. Whatever the cause is for the dis- charge of colored printers it is not on account of color as it can be plainly seen. The BEE is ready to defend a true man, no matter what his poli. tics may be; color or religious creed. Public Printer Benedict is a man and he will not be deterred by Von- gressional investigation either. WHY THE PEOPLE ADVER- TISE. The great question that has put the competitors of The BzzE to thinking is, why do the people ad- vertise in The Bex ? That question is easily answered. Why do everybody in Washing- ton advertise in any newspaper ? Intelligcnt people advertise be- cause they know their business is Ber than any other paper edited-| by negroes in this country and it is natural that intelligent people will seek beings and organs that can do them tke most good. THE WASHINGTON BEE. | benefitted. The people talk more about The The Beez is the greatest negro advertising medium in this country. 1st. Because the people will seek a fearless expounder of their rights. 2nd. Because The Bex is the oldest paper edited by negroes in this city. 8rd. The Bee has been killed several times and buried alive often and still it comes up in time to defend the interests of the peo- ple. 4th. More people read The Brg than any other negro paper in this country and if you want to be bene- fitted The Bre is the paper to ad- vertise in. Every secret and beneficial or- ganization in this city read The BEE. It is the organ of the Waiters | Protective Association. The Bes is indorsed by the busi- ness men, white and black; the laborers, the caterers, the profes- sional men and all the people of note and standing. No politician would be without The BEE. It is a Fireside Companion and itis the best medicine in the world if you have the blues. There is more life and virtue in The Bre than all the negro organs in the country. These are only a few reasons why the people SEES | in The Bes. THE LILLY WHITES. There is a growing disposition on the part of some white republicans to organize a white man’s republi- can party and ignore the negro. In this city a few white republi- cans, as they do every four years, have organized a white republican organization. This same preju- diced spirit manifested itself when several gentlemen arranged for the celebration of the birth of the re- publican party. Not a colored republican was placed 6n the committee, and in- deed it is doubtful whether one was invited to aseat on the stage. No men stand higher in this commu- nity and country than Hon. B. K. Bruce, ex-Collector of ‘Taxes, John F. Cook, Drs. J. R. Francis, S. R. Watts, Mr. L. ©. Bailey, P. H. Carson and others all good republi- cans & This discriminating spirit on the part of some white republicans is prevalent in many sections of the country. Is it because the negro is no longer the political slave of the re- publican scheming politicians? Is it because the negro cannot be turned to suit the tastes of white republicans, and after .he victory feed the negro on fish bones and wher the negro will be compelled to seek protection in the house of his enemy. The negro is no longer the dog in the manger ; let the lilly white republicans discard him when they may, he will bea man and a citizen. THE "THE COMBINE. | they take meat? The time will no doubt come ‘ Senators Allison, Quay, Speaker Reed and Governor Morton are to- day the great representatives of the republican party. Any one of these distinguished men would make a good President. The republicans of the South owe a debt of gratitude to Speaker Reed and how any Southern Re- publican, especially the negroes can desert him we are unable to state. Senators Quay and Allison are sound on the negro question and it is time for the negro to look to their friends. A DISGRACEFUL SCENE. The scene in the House of Rep- resentatives on Thursday between Congressman Uriel S. Hall of Mis- souri and H. D. Money of Missis- sippi was not at all complimentary for law-makers. It wasa fight to a finish and a knock-out for Mr, Money. Will the daily press of this city ioe this fight with the a |ealled republican primaries that are held in this city and let us know the difference ? If that had been a negro fight; the proclamation would have gone | forth that the negroes were incap- | j able of self government. \ Why not abolish the House of | Representatives ? | The latest sensation is the com- bination of a law firm. Lawyer Hewlett would make a good su cessor to Judge Kimball. If the pulitical combined is de- feated, it will be the second time in the history of political events. If the present form of Govern- ment is abolished the people would be satisfied. lt is rot the Commissioners who are so objectionable to the people as it is the Excise Board, ANIMAL NOTES. In a three days’ hunt near Rio Vista, Cal., recently two men shot 375 gray and white geese Cougars are unusually and unpleas- antly numerous in the neighborhood of Hope, Idaho. They are said to be rap- idly thinning out the deer in that re- gion and are causing much trouble to stockmen. A queer little fish is found in the artesian wells at San Marcos, Texas. The fish iy about four inches long, has human face, hands and feet. A large number of these are said to live on land as well as in water. A spaniel owned by Michael Kelly of Brooklyn awoke his master the other night in time for him to escape from a burning house. The dog tore away a piece of Kelly’s shirt before he awoke to find the room full of smoke and the quilt on his bed burning. A twenty-nine-pound togue, the big- gest fish ever known to have been caught in Moosehead Lake, Maine, was hooked by a guide a few days ago. It measured three feet four inches in length, and is thought to be the largest speciment of the trout family ever caught in Maine. In four days’ hunting in Lincoln coun- tv, Oregon, two huntsmen killed 113 eese, ninety-two ducks, and eight gehens. They said that Crab Creek and Swamp Creek literally swarmed | with geese and ducks, and all a hunter had to do was to lie in tules and shoot upward as the birds alighted around him. A devilfish, measuring fifteen and one-half feet from the tip of one of its eight arms to the tip of another and ten feet from the top of its head to the tip of its longest arm, was killed in the channel at Santa Barbara, Cal., by two boys a few days ago. It was the largest devilfish ever caught in those waters. A white coon that hasn’t a dark hair | on its body is owned at Weiser, Idaho, | and is a kind of town pet. It has dis- tinguished itself by whipping all the dogs in the neighborhood, and is sure death to cats that stray into its vicinity. It spends most of its time chained to the sidewalk outside its owner’s store. At Cadillac, Mich., the other night, | there was a fight between a wildcat and a bull dog. A crowd of men paid $1 each, it 1s said, to see the fight, and witnessed one of the bloodiest battles ever seen. After eleven hard-fought rounds the dog broke the cat’s leg and | won the battle. A white sea otter, whose pelt would | be worth quite $5,000, was seen by two; fishermen in the bay at Santa Cruz, Cal. | last week. The men say there is no doubt whatever as to the identity of the animal. A number of boats at once | set out to hunt for the otter, but at last accounts had not caught it. | An unusually large octopus, with eight arms, each measuring a little less | than six feet in length, was killed at Alamenda, Cal., a few days ago. The fish fastened its tentacles on a boat which a fisherman was rowing in the harbor. The man rowed his boat ashore, the fish still clinging to it, and killed the octopus with an oar. An elephant that escaped from a cir- cus in a London suburb one night re- cently invaded a baker shop and ate everything in sight, including two bags of flour, weighing 280 pounds, twenty pounds of currants, forteen cans or raspberry jam, including the cans. four- teen pounds of raw almonds, and seven pounds of lemon peel. Twenty farmers brought the tails of 171 ground squirrels to the commis- ioners of Spokane County Washing- ton, on one day last week to collect the bounty of one cent per tail. One man brought in 1,334 squirrel tails and an- other 1,056. All the squirrels were kill- ed in one not large district, where they are so thick as to almost make the farmers despair of making any profjt by their crops. A woman living at Lewiston, Me., has | made a good de.! of money during the ; past year or so with a fine, large coon cat. She sold it last week for the sev- enth time for $8. This cat always comes } back, and its behavior while in the pos- session of any one but this woman is such that the successive owners have concluded that the trouble of caring for the cat is worth much more than 38.
