Senator McCoraa*,(Rep.)of Mary*
land is reported to be in a “frenxy”
on auoonnt of tlie passage of the dis
franchisement bill, which rules out
■'18,000 white and 25,000 colored
voters,” and to assert that it is "a
crime against free government.” He
also says that ltepoblican opposition
to the bill "was inspired by sympa
thy for the colored men.” As to the
genuineness of this sympathy, the
Philadelphia Record has its doubts
and calls the senator’s attention to
the following faots:
Where the Republicans have com
E lute political power they are never
nown to share it with their colored
brethren. In Philadelphia there are
no places for black -men in any ot
the municipal departments save a
yery few positions cn the police
force; and it is not different in other
cities. Bet there is a stronger and
more recent test of Republican sym
pathies for the colored citiscns.
When the new army establishment
was crented places were made for
nearly a thousand more officers in all
branches of the service.
Vet although in theory and in law
there is no distraction in either the
military or civil service, not a col
ored man has been an officer in any
of the new regiments. Where was
Senator McComas please, wheu the
army organisation bill was passed,
and why did he not then insist npou
some recognition in it of the colored
men, for whom he professes so much

Years.
Bmothers: *
The emblems of monrniug are
again our sad reminders of the de
parture of amoved brother from this
earthly lodge of labor to the Grand
Lodge of Heaven, where all true
brothers shall enjoy that blissful re
freshment prepared by our Celestial
Grand Master, for all faithful broth
ers and true Masons. Death, who is
no respecter of |>en*)iis, has en
tered our circle of brotherhood and
taken from his scat in tins Lodge our
ycnerable brother, t). M. Lang.
The writer of these notes knew
brother Lang for nearly a half cen
tury, and part of this long lime—
late years as a brother Mason, and
be can truly say he ever found him
an upright and honorable roan and
true Mason—respected and loved
by all wh» knew him; and brothers,
was it not a beautiful sight to see
this aged brother with na sc. often,
wheu the frosts of 79 or 80 winters
had silvered his head, here present
in his euat in this Lodge, doing his
duty, as a faithful brother—was it
not a grand sight? What an exam
ple of devotion lor each and every
friendship and simpalhv? There ,, T j w <

temple of God, that house not mnde
witn hands, eternal ju the Heavens.
