When Phillip of Macedon approach- ed by night with his troops to scale the walls of Byzantium, the moon, then new or in crescent, shone out and discovered his design to the besieged, who repulsed him. The crescent was after that adopted as the favorite badge of the city. When the Turks took Byzantium they found the cres- cent in every public place, and be- lieving 1t to possess some magical power, adopted it themselyes.—.S¢. Nicholas. ES SALAMU ALEIKUM.

PosTMASTER GENERAL GARY THE NEGROES’ IDLE DRAWS THE COLOR LINE. A BOLDSTRIKE FOR LIBERTY AND EMACIPATION. A branch of the National Negro pro- tective Association was organized last Tuesday night at the Second Baptist Church, on 3rd street, between H and I streets northwest. This is the fifth branch formed in the city, Over a hundred persons were present when the meeting was called to order, J. W. Cromwell was appointed temporary chairman and F. D. Lee Secretary. William A. Pledger, of Georgia, was the speaker of the evening, and he stated that the object of the assoiation was to “provide ways and means, through a central organization, for protecting the negro in all his civil and political rights; to aid in the: growth and development of a public sentiment that shall lead the negro to fit himselt in the full sense of the term for all the duties and prerogatives of citizenship, and that shall also cause the other citizens of this nation to yield a willing acquiescence to all his just demands.” SOCIAL QUALIFICATIONS. In the course ofhis remarks Mr. Pleder manifested great umbrage at the course alleged to have been taken by the Postmaster General in refusing to appoint a negro to an office on the grounds that the position demanded social duties which it would be im- possible for a negro to fulfill. “For thirty years,”” he said have I been as true to the Republican Party as the needle is to the pole, and I love J. W. Mc-} Kinney, Grand Master, was master of | one member of the Cabinet it is not Rooms A and B. of theadministration. I do not criti- cise the administration, for to criticise necessarily to criticise the administra- tion. But I do say that if all the Cabi- net treated the applicants as does the ; Postmaster General we would send to all the colored people in the country to gather at Louisville, or some other | city in the South, and say that if we were not recognized in our requests by the administration we would all find it too cold to go to the polls in Novem- ber. THE SENTIMENT APPLAUDED. “Ifwe dont get what we want we will hold a love feast in Kentucky and find the reason why. It our demands are not attended to let us cast our votes with a party with which we have never before affiliated, and let us do our duty to our wives and children.” The speaker was applauded many j times during his address, and when he | concluded it was several moments be- fore the applause ceased. The meeting was then opened for the purpose of organization and the elec- tion of officers, The election resulted in Rev. Dr. W. B. Johnson being chos- en presidenti James H. A. Schureman, vice president; C. M. Branhan, secre- tarv and Miss Martha A. Broadus, as- sistant secretary. The books were then opened for the enrollment of members, and a number of those pres- ent placed their names on roll. TYPE! EVERYTHING UP TO DATE. ate wa JOB PRINTING oS EMMETT C.
