Mr. Brooks has been one of the most prominent figures in local affairs. For a number of years he was a member of the Com- mon Council, under the elective gov- ernment. He was alsoa member of }the board of school trustees and a very active member at that. He was j always foremost in school matters and saw that the colored schools received their just recognition. Mr. Brooks was a postive man. He also served with distinction in the Navy and at the time of his death he was a clerk in the Navy department, the only colored clerk there. Mr. Brooks was also a good writer and a forcible speaker. | f€ was nota surprise triends. He leaves a most amiable wife and } | THE WASHINGION BER. (a a ARDNOESERE SNES Re WHAT ISAW AND HEARD. There is trouble in camp. The politicians have been working like Turks the past two weeks. ‘There |18 8 combination on foot that has |endeavored to move heaven and jearth. It was evident that this lentire combination found their |opponent strong. It was the com- bination’ of the entire north, south, east and west against one man. The Anacostia post office is to be invaded by a colored applicant in the person of Henry Johnson, formerly comparer of deeds in the recorder’s office. There has com- menced a big fight agaist John- son’s appointment. There mhay be hundreds of reasons why Johnson should not be appointed. THE Bee will no doubt have its inning now, The Louisiana politicians have decided to let their own fight alone and attend to that in some other state. It is not known where it will end. They want something new. Editor John C. Dancy, of North Carolina, who was in the city a few days ago, has returned home. He will be nominated for collector in a few weeks. President McKinley is not at all disturbed over what the politicians may say about him. He is deter- passes Congress before he satisfies the officials thurst of Congressmen. representative men will have to go aboard. It is the policy of the present administration to see that young men are appointed to office. he general complaint is republicans are indorsing more democrats for offices than they are republicans. ‘Lhe so-called Virginia repubh—- cans associciation of wh:ch Mr. F. D. Lee is President, is doing nothing but asking for the reten- tion of negro democrats. The in- dosement by this association is be- coming obnoxivus to the re- pubiicans in office. There is a strong fight being made for the appointment of a prominent republican to succeed Mr. Harry Davis. Mr. Davis will be removed some time in July without doubt. Among some of the good republicans who are being urged are Messrs. C. M, Smith, T. L. Jeffords and one or two others. Either man would be ac- ceptable to the people. Mr. Smith 1s a thorcugh republican and would no doubt make a good pros- ecuting officer. The Secretary of the Interior has said that he will make no change at the Freedmen’s hospital as long as ithe civil service is in oper- ation. Dr. Curtis, of Chicago can rest a while. Mr. Edward H. Deas of South Carolina is so busy now until he is compelled to rent a private office t answer his mai] and to meet hi South Carolina friends.

CHARGES TO BE INVESTIGATED, For a number of years, the citizen- have complained that there is discrimi | nation against their sons and daughters | by some one_ person or persons who conduct the Normal School examin- | tions. The pupils who leave the High tions, but, the moment they enter the examination for admission to the Nor-| mal School, something happens before | they are admitted. The examination to the Normal School is not as hard as | the High School examination. The re- | cent examination of pupils to the Nor- | mal School kas set afloat all kinds of rumors of favoritism. No doubt some} of the rumors are well founded, Some} of the brightest pupi's from the High | School have been turned down or failed | to pass the Normal School examina- tion, and some of the dullest have passed. It is charged that there is a leak somewhere and the High and Normal School Committee will be call- ed upon to investigate the charges, For sometime The Bee has pointed out the importance of a change in the two schools. The Committee that ncw examines the papers of pupils should | be abolished and the reception and | making of the papers should be by the | two superintendents of the schools or| under their immediate eye and super-| vision. | REDUCED RATES. $8 from Cleveland to Mackinac and return. $7from Toledo to Mackinac | andreturn. $6 from Detroit to Macki- | nacand return.

School stand high in their examina-| {ij ‘ASHIONABLE You all have heard of Horn the Tailor. Through the columns of this paper the people have constantly read ofhim. Last week it was understood that enough had been said of him be- cause his clothes always speak for him. It is only necessary to go in his place of business, 637 F street and be con- vinced of what The BEE has been say- ing about him. Mr. Horn is a joker sometimes and believes in giving jok¢s, but when it comes to’making clothes out ot his best imported goods, he means business always. Have you inspected his imported goods? Have you seen the material from which he Well, just go there once and see his artistic cut- ter and watch his manner and skill.

Why _ the President is allowing Claud M. Johnson, the present Chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing to remain in office, is what the re- publican party leaders cannot under- stand, The fact that Johnson was anxious to remain is the reason why Carlise had Mr. Cleveland to include that office in the list of his national civil service order. It has ° been shown that the civil service law has been violated by the removal of over fifty young colored ladies who had WHY AN IMMEDIATE ECESSARY, JOHNSON | passed the civil service examination. |The colored voters throughout | country had concluded that Secretary | Gage would have made a change | that department long ago.
