A LITTLE HASH.

The WEEKLY Reuie,o is the title of a
new and interesting exchange, pub
lished at New Albany, Ind, which we
welcome to our exchange table.
RUFUS L. PERRY, ESQ.,, of the Brook
lyn Monitor, will accept our thanks,
but we must decline the high and
honorable position he offers us. Let
the honors fall where they are de-
served.
The CHICAGO COnseruator is doing
good work in the northwest for the
common cause. Keep the ball rolling
We ARE THANKFUL to our able con-
temporary, the indianapolis Leader,
for its lecture on the lack of g Sensible
Significance in the term "Atro-
American" However, we can't aban-
don word because Garfield don't
use it.
THE Kansas City, Mo-, Gate City
Press, promises to "make Rome howl"
if the Republican politicians out there
don't do something for the colored
people. Make her howl
The Lincoln Literary Association,
of New York, viii accept our thanks
for their invitation. We will endeavor
to avail ourselves of their hospitality.
As might have been expected, the
Eclectic Club of this city was the only
organization which lifted finger to
aid the passage of the Educational
bill.
We ARE PLEASED to once more well
come the Washington ADVOCATE to our
exchange table. Why did you cut us
off?
New YORK Runor says that it is a
standing remark Senator Bruce APP
pointed more white men to office, and
placed fewer black men in Office, than
any other colored man who has sat in
either house of Congress.

How To Make Pencil Writing Inefface.
able.

1t is said that pencil drawings may be
rendered ineffaceable by this simple
process: Slightly warm sheet of or
binary drawing paper; then place it
carefully on the SUI face of solution OF
white resin N alcohol, leaving it there
long enough to become thoroughly
moistened. Afterwa dry it in a cur
rent OF air. Paper prepared in this way
has a very smooth surface. In order to
fix the drawing, the paper is to be
warmed for few minutes. This method
may prove useful for the preservation of
plans or designs, when the want of time
or any other cause will not allow OF the
draughtsman reproducing them in ink.
A simpler plan than the above however,
is to brush over the back of the paper
containing the charcoal or pencil sketch
. weak solution of white shellac in
alcohol.

THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.

The passage of Senator Young
blood's just and righteous educational
bill by both houses of the Legislature
is an act of which New Jersey may
well be proud. 1t is a measure ex-
a;tly in accord with the spirit of the
times, and is just recognition of the
equality before the law of all our
citizens. 1t gives us in reality free,
pubic schools. 1t removes the great
est bar to the enjoyment OF equal OPP
portunities of advancement by all
classes. 1t says that in her public
school system, New Jersey knows
no race, no religion, no nationality,
no color. ALI are entitled to equal
participation in the benefits derived
from common fund, to which all
contribute.
And it should be SGT must be SO.
There can be no unequal citizenship,
no halfway freedom.
Questions of social equality settle
themselves. No man brings into his
social circle those who are distasteful
to him, and no law can make him dc
it. But the state can not afford to
make a favored classic recognize
distinctions of race, or nationality, Of
color. And the state, by an over
whelming majority of its Legislature
b IS decided that in it's common schools
l. will not do it.
It is something upon which thu
colored people especially may justl.
felicitate themselves. 1t is the great
eft stroke of good fortune which ha'
fill upon them in this state, since thu
passage of the Fifteenth Amendment
It gives them opportunities for de
velopment that they have never before
enjoyed. Let us hope that they vii
have wisdom enough to use these
opportunities wisely that they viii
recognize that by this act, the state
has removed all, or nearly all, thu
legal disabilities which for so Ions
have rested upon them; that they
will perceive that only by an earnes
and industrious use of these educa
tional opportunities, can they prove
their equal intellectual capacity, theil
equal manhood.
The few blocks to progress, the few
proscriptive relicts of slavery yet re
naming, can now be easily thrust aside
The law has now done nearly all i
can do for the black man in New Jer
sey-let him remember it. What il
done further, with but few unim
portant exceptions, he must do him
self
Let him educate his children-nov
that he has the opportunity to do it
Let him teach them industry, fru
gality, patience and perseverance, ane
in a generation he will prove hi
equality with, or his inferiority to
other races of men.
