CAliYJK CHASE, Editor, PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. Pros ident G-rover Cleveland is a remarkable man. Re is one of those characters which a nation provides at long intervals. He is a man of sterling integrity and marked individuality. Friends and foes, democrats and republicans, alie concede to him, that- of character which necessarily makes a lasting impression upon the timea in which he is an actor.

While a democrat, he is not a follower, but a leader of his party he does not receive instructions from the superanuated leaders ot his party, but blazes the way and invites them to follow. In the recent discussion of the silver question he declared for unconditional repeal and he got it, notwithstanding the threats of party bullies and the persuasive methods of courtiers. In the Hawaiian business he showed the same spartan courage. But more emphatically has he ex hibited his independence of party dictation in filling the offices within his gift. At a single blow, he struck down the pernicious system that has fastened itself upon the country of setting apart certain offices for colored men and certain other offices for white men.

He has taught the country that bes cause a colored man happened to hold a certain office that it does not follow that such office must be held by colored men to the end of time. He has taught colored men themselves that their aspirations need not be limited to certain positions under the government, but like other American citizens they might seek preferment in any branch of the service. In this he has rendered the colored American citizen a great service by broadening the horizon of his actions and making him more tolerent in polls tics. If now the United States Senate fails to share the progressive spirit of the President, then all the worst for the senate. The President can not do more than make appointments; it is no fault of his if they are not confirmed.

Certain senators gravely mistake the character of Mr. Cleveland when they attempt to control his action by indicating that if he will appoint colored men to certain offices named by them, such appoints ment8 will be confirmed otherwise not. Mr. Cleveland is not that sort of a man, in fact, threats of any char, acter are impotent to move him one iota. THE HIGH SCHOOL- In the reorganization of the committees of the board of trustees of the District of Columbia, Hon.

B. K. Bruce has been reappointed a member of the committee on high and normal schools, and at the same time promoted to the chairs manship of the committee on rules. This is a recognition of the services of a faithful and efficient school officer and a command to said officer to put an end to the bickerings, petty jealousies and quarrels which have, ever since the establishment of the high school been rife In that institution. It is a guarantee that the board o( school directors will support Trustee Brace in any legitimate measuie which it may be necessary for him to take to suppress the aforesaid evils.

We desire to say to Trustee Bruce on behalf of the people of this District, that he must not hesitate to use the knife on those who are responsible for the disgraceful condition of affairs afc the high Bchool. What is most needed out there is a grand bounce. Will Trustee Bruce hesitate longer? TOO SMART. Recorder Bruce had to call one of his clerks to a halt this week because he via going beyond his authority. After an investigation into the facts, the recorder gave ois over jealous clerk to understand that he was recorder.

The Commissioners were more liberal toward colored whiskey men this year than they have been for some time REDUCED RATES TO BALTIMORE. Saturday, January 6, the Balti more and Ohio railroad will sell round trip tickets for all trains leaving Washington, Baltimore and Ohio depot, for Baltimore, at 81.25. good three days. OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT. Mr.

President: There are a number of American citizens who who have the most implicit conn dence in you and believe that you are right on the Hawaiian question. LOf course there are people who for partisan reasons believe that Mr. Harrison was right. The. same confidence that Mr.

Harrison placed in his minister, Mr. Stevens, are similar to that you placed in your special commissioner. Mr. Blount. There is a division of opinion, but on the fce of the returns am of the opinion that you have done jour duty, as you see it.

The people are tired of the ques tion, Mr. President, especially the negro democrats. They believe that you ought to turn your attention for awhile to negro demooatio ap: pointmeuts. The followers of the late Bishop J. M.

Brown are surprised that you have not rewarded the services that the late bishop rendered, to have recognized his oldest sou, Prof W. L. Brown, before now. I congratulate you Mr. President on you political stroke of policy in sending white men to colored governments and colored men to white governments.

If confirmations are going to work as slowly as that of Ash woods and Taylors', the colored democrats would prefer to have the same old thing. They are about convinced that a departure, so far as they are concerned, is to their detriment. It is admitted that you are far ahead of your party and party supporters, but it does seem strange that nothing has been done for the boys before now. You are no doubt, Mr. that it has been almost a year ana the unwashed colored democrats are still lingering in the cold.

Our friend, C. H. J. Taylor is in Kansas, Mr. President, telling the people that you are the greatest man since the reign of Julius Cea sar.

He is perfectly satisfied with what you have done for him, and should you not give bim anything else Mr. Taylor is too much of a democrat to kick. Christmas was a beautiful diy and there is no doubt but that quite a number of stockings were hung up the night before Christmas to betaken down empty. Before I close, Mr. President, le me call your attention to the wortht mess of Hon.

John W. Ross, one of the commissioners of the District of Columbia. Col. Ross is a gentleman, Mr. President, and a mao in whom the people of this district have the most implicit aontidence.

His reappointment would meet the hearty indorsement of the people, as well as it would be a benefit to tne distrfi5t- Wishing you a happy New Year, believe me to be, sincerely yours, The Editor, ROY'S SPOUTING TALK. One of the most notable characters of that portion of the colored race who follow race horses from place to place for a livelihood, is nomenclature. No one is exempt from this wholesale nicknaming and the name selected fastens itself on one with a permanency that defies even old Frth-er Time. In most cases the names are of a racy character. Jay-Eye-See earned his name probably some time ago when Dame Fortune had been especially bountiful in her gifts and he set a "ratling 5J pace in consequence.

"Polo" Jim because he was the groomsman for the swell New Yorkers, Polo ponies, Charlie Johnson is "Chief" probably because he is such a prime favorite with the ladies. One young fellow is known as "Jay Gould," for the reason that he carried around in his pocket at ono time a considerable amount of the "coin of the realm." "Desperate" Pete is so named because he has "done" his man on more than one occasion, and was naturally reckless of consequences in a row. See our next. EXCURSION TO BALTIMORE. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad will sell round trip tickets for all trams (including the 45 minute titers) leaving Washing for Balti more Saturday, January 6, valid for return trip until the following Monday inclusive, at $1.25.
