EN- r~.

The best thing about last nights en-
tertainment at the opera house was the
scenery. The company seemed i'm
pressed with the idea that originality
was a punishable crime here, and they
consequently ~refrained from producing
any music, jokes OF acts that were less
than twenty years old. Miss King is
about the only member of the company
who approaches mediocrity even. She
is a very fair singer, but we fancy Bos-
ton would be somewhat surprised to
learn that she is its favorite prima dom
ma, as advertised.
Tomorrow night the Grover Comedy
will appear at the opera house, and an
interesting and meritorious entertain
ment Is assured. The Denver Tribune
says: Long before eight o'clock last
evening every seat in the Academy was
taken and standing room was at a pre-
MUM. The performance went off ex-
ceedingly well and was highly apprecia-
ted by the enthusiastic audience. The
Growers have stamped themselves great
fRvorites here as elsewhere"

climbing to heights unknown and he

grew as a mining town without a rail-
road. The town is just passing through
the transition from a placer mining
city to a permanent center of quartz
mining and trade. The once rich
gulches on the debris of whose mines
the city stands have been exhausted Ia
a relatively Insignificant product, OF
about one hundred thousand dollars a

of the place will find its material in the
rich quartz veins Of the mountains at

veloped mine was lately sold to an
English syndicate for 81, 100000"

WASHINGTON CORRESPON-
DENT.

In looking over our exchanges
we find someof the slck-liest and
puny lot of stuff that it is possible
to imagine could be written as
news or gossip sent out from the
National Capitol. Next week we
intend to dictate upon some of the
so called Washington letter writ
ers.
In the last issue of the Neao o.
leans Standard, the Washington
letter writer says:
"We have received a beautiful
pair of doeskin pants from"
We should like to known what
the public care about doeskin or
any other kind of cloth or pants
that he received, We do not be-
lleve that they care even II the
writer wore, or wears, patched
jersey pants. We do think that
many who read the Standard
would like to see an iron-clad re
copper-bound band put around his
head and he be induced to write
some thing fit to be read and stop
the miserable bosh and gush about
who rode him out, who gave q
sandwich dinner or a glass of punch
or those pantaloons. We hope to
see an Improvement. Peopl ewant

Executive Ability.

Very few men are blessed with the tai
ent of doing more than one thing well. In
the economy of nature our gifts are few.
One may be able to plan but cannot exc
cute, while his neighbors executive ability
is his strong point.
The man is good at the wheel, but lacks
financial ability; another one can design
china and earthenware of superior style,
but falls short of success as a business
manager. Similar experiences are met with
in every trade.
Men may succeed in the routine of de-
signing, and in various other departments
but when their success in any one of
these encourage them to essay manufacture
ing, they are all at sea, simply because the
latter position calls for the exercise of en-
tirely different qualifications.
Now and again we find Notable excep-
tions to this rule. We meet occasionally
with men who pos eS a combination Of
different and varied excellencies, superior
| wherever they are placed but, ON the
| whole, such instances are rare-so rare, in
fact, that the exception but proves the rule
Such men are successful. They must be,
| for they possess every requisite in the whole
range of mechanical and executive ability.
Other men who know nothing, practically
| about the details of construction and
| qualities of material sometimes succeed,
but they have an executive power well de-
velOped, and supported by a clear judg-
ment trained by experience, they master
| all difficulties. One class of men may not
know how to draw the simplest pattern,
but on the other hand, they may possess
good taste, which will enable them to de-
eide whether design is good or bad, and
their discernment foretells its reception
with the trade. Give them basis and a
plan. and they will complete the structure
On the other hand, those who have the
practical routine thoroughly by heart, but
lack the executive power, generally fail in
their attempt to do business
| What we wisk to impress is the impor-
ttance of executive talent. 1t is the all
powerful lever. 1t is not always gift; in
nearly every man there is germ, which,
with proper cultivation, will develop this
trait to certain degree.
Young men learning any business should
study it in all its bearings and seize upon
every opportunity to enlarge and improve
upon the efforts of those who have acquired
the great success In the one particular call
ing chosen. With it success is possible
even if mechanical and practical appren-
ticeship is wanting, but without it the best
workman is untitled for independent bust
ness operations. We do not urge this point
to the exclusion Of others, but we know it's
possession is imperative.

lngersOlI and the Presidency

Some of the newspapers of the
country edited by colored men. as
we'll as many leading men of the
race all over the country, are Civ
ing the public assurance, that it
there is one man more than another
that the colored vote would unite
upon, in 1884, for president of the
United States, it is Col. Robt. G.
Ingersoll. The rock of his saliva
ton is the "equality of all men be-
fore the law" His lights not hid
under a bushel; it shines from ocean
to ocean and from hemisphere to
hemisphere. His Cal didacy would
cause the rocks to take to them
selves mouthes, while every creep
ing thing would mere from its
nothingness-jew and gentle
would worship at the same shine
republicans and democrats
would throw aside their old clothes
-"Liberity for man" "and BEAST
would be the watchword of the
majoritles.
Ingersoll is in possession of a
large and magnificent library, that
he prices above all his treasures IL
Washington. A friend at that
capital asked him one day what was
the cost of that priceless possession.
He stated, with great mathemati-
cal accuracy that it had cost him
the governorship of Illinois. This
age stands alone in it production
of an Ingersoll. He cannot be led.
He will lead if the heavens fall. II
elected president an individuality
would grace the executive chair.
No formidable objection could be
breathed against his candidacy, on
ly the nation in its weakness
would admit that he is too great a
man to be president Cairo Ga

Confucius and the Chinese.

The Chinese are supposed to form about
one-third of the population of the world,
and there is some ground for believing that
for the last 1000 years they have held
much the same numerical proportion to
the entire human race. Yet it may be said
that there is but one Chinaman who has
earned worldwide reputation-one indi-
yldual who has been large enough to lift
himself above the millions of unknown,
unrecorded lives, end force himself on the
regard of the Western World. He was not
conqueror stamping his name on the ter
ror-struck imagination of surrounding
tribes. He was not an inventor whose
memory Is kept green by the gratitude of
those who daily enjoy the fruit of his
genius He was not poet uttering mems
best thoughts and deepest feelings for them
i'll words more expressive than their own.
He was not even philosopher, or, if q
philosopher, his philosophy was ON the
level of that of Benjamin Franklin. In
short, no ordinary avenue to fame seems to
have been open to him and yet, if mum
bers 60 for anything, what fame rivals that
of the man who, for twenty-three centur-
les, has been worshipped as all but divine
by nearly One-half of the world, and whose
words are regarded as canOnlcal by peo-
pie compared to whose exclusive jealousy
the Jewish exclusiveneSs is latitudinarian
The secret of his fame is mainly this: that
he was the Chinaman of the Cinnamon.
the most conservative and ancestOr-wOr-
Shipping individual of the most conserva-
tive and ancestor worshiping race. It was
by his work that the national tendencies
and popular instincts were recognized and
definitely fixed. 1t was he who formulat-
ed the relations of ruler and subject. 1t
was he who gave utterance to those max
inns of personal conduct which the Chin
ese are justly proud OF, though they do
not scrupulously observe them. Especially
it was he who gathered into Chinese canon
all tbs wisdom which had been tested by
previous generations, and so set the seal
of completeness on Chinese life and Gus
toms, so far as this can be done by any man
or by any books.

WHO ARE THE SCHOOL
TRUSTEES!

Complaints in the way of cum
munications have been sent to this
paper against the school supervis-
ing principler, Henry and Scott
Montgomery, who have been as
suming the role of superintendent
and trustees of the colored public
schols. One OF the commumca-
tlous cites the following: "Mr.
editor. For some tImethe teachers
of our colored public schools have
been and are now being imposed
upon by the two supervising prin-
cipals Henry and Scott Montgom-
cry. Teachers are not treated
with respect, they seem TO disre.
gard the fact that the colored tea
chers are more than common
servants" Another communiCa-
ton states that Mr.. Henry John
son, formerly a school trustee. has
been interfering with the teachers,
and schools of the Fifth Division.
If what we state are facts, we de-
sire to call the attention of the
school trustees TO these irregulari-
ties and demand in the name OF
the colored people and justice,
that these pernicious practices be
put stop to. Mr.. Henry johnson
should remember that he Is no
longer a trustee of the public
schools. We desire to know how
it is that Mr.. johnson can have SO
much time to be away from his
office SO. often interfering with
other people business? Who are
the trustees Of the public schools?
Are these irregularities to be
continued under the eyes of our
present school officers. We be-
lieve that Mr.. Smith is ignorant of
what we state and we are confident
that he will put stop to them.
We advise the writers, however.
that if there are any gross infringe
ments upon the rights of the teach
ers to forward the facts 10 the

endeavoring to carry out the will

"Please notify all the farmers and p,r-
deners, now these dark nights, to gatberqu

amply protected in his political
rights but, it seems as if he is In
danger, if they are looking for pro-
lection from hat source. No
party like the one named could
exist in any other country. Its re-
cord is as black as the hinges OF
hades, the crimes perpetrated VIII
never be blotted from the pages OF
history; they are indellably stamp,
ed upon the memory of the poor
ignorant blacks. The jollification
of last Monday night was to let the
north know that the colored man
has no protection in the South,
that the late civil war, which cost
the nation so many thousand lives
has failed to establish a govern
ment of the people, by the people,
and for the people, that the demo-
cratic party means to rule or ruin ;
that the republican party is incapa-
bic to govern and too weak to pro-
tect, that the Jacksonion principles
are their political religion; that
the negro must 60 and seek homes
elsewhere. While on the other
hand, the Republican party means
to protect us, that we have rights
guaranteed by the constihon OF the
United States; the many thousand
lives loss in the late civil war meant
that the United States should be a
republic, that the united north will
combine and eXterminate every
rebel who dares to rebel against
a civilized nation. That America
is a government of the people, by
the people and for the people.
Our advise te the colored people
of the United StatesIis let us unite
and elect republican president in
1884, and then the democratic
party will be no more. Another
defeat In 1884 will forever settle
that party and their ambition fol-
supremency, There will be nc
protection in the south for the
Negro until another political re,
solutlon takes place. The massa-
ere ot those innocent colored men
in Danville will forever be remem,

MUST STILL GO ON?

The old slave regime had as one
of its methods for leisure and ease
a certain delegated authority and
power, which, to use a common
phrase. "Killed two birds with
one stone"
1t made the ''hewer of wood aud
drawer OF water" toll ceaselessly
day after day-the brick made
without straw must be done.
This method also gave to the
slave master, the leisure, luxurious
ease and ample revenue, dear to
him as life. To beplainer, slave
owner of say a hundred Ne
groes, would select one as
head-man, boss, or overseer of the
rest. The man selected was always
suited for the position. lie was
as a rule necessarily unintelligent,
but he was certainly the cutest,
shrewdest, and oftener, the meaneSt
of his kind.
This underIing vested with this
vicarious mastership made the un-
fortunates, many Of whom in pos
session of superior attributes for a
superior manhood, suffer the IN
tolerable horrors of worse than
Russian serfdom. The quasi mas
ter dressed in brief authority used
his privilege with almost despotic
power.
This system precluded all power
of appeal, for the real master sump-
tuously faring, loved his ease toe
dearly to do more than assent to
any decision made by his vicarious
satanic majesty.
If this brief illustration is not
accurate, it is at least apt and will
furnish food for reflection.
This will be recognized as a
parallel to the administration OF
our coIored school affairs as seen
particularly in the light of recent
event. There is not man, woman
or child of sense who does not
recognize the parallel. There may
be an interested few, OhO aCiI
not. MUST IT GO ON FOX EVER
Unless we be stone and not men
and women, unles we are still tO
day as of the days of yore-gOne

scandal and other evils.
Recent events must have assur
ed the rational reader that our Ell.
ucational measures are in the hands
ofone man. MUST IT GO ON FoF
EVER? Let a plain question be ask
ed What commends any longer tC
this istelligent community bigot
ed demagogue.
One cannot too ardently deery
and expose the pernicious effects
of vindictive head-man and boss
of our eolored schools. Such al
individual demoralizes his coloreC
associates. He intlmidates by coo
deliberation and audacity.
