TIE NEW POLICE COMMISSIONERS
Whose Commission Is Held Back Because
Of the Governors Respect for the Sun

ST. LOUIS, Sept. "a. Since Governor
Crittenden has succeeded to the guberna-
torial chair no &C: or appointment Of bis
has met with such general approval in this
city as the announcement that Henry D.
Cleveland was to be one Of the new Police
Commissioners. Not only citizens but also
office holders congratulate His Exeellency
upon having made such a judicious seec-
ton, as it seems to convey the impression
that u new era is to be begun Ia the man
agemeni OF the Police Board.
Mr.. Cleveland was seen this morning,
and did not disguise the fact that
his name bad been presented to the
Governor by personal and politi-
cal friends, but he disclaimed making any
efforts himself to get the office While he
has not as yet received his commission, it
is mostsprobable that II will reach him by to-
morrow morning In time for him to attend
the regular meeting OF the board, thus
securing quorum. II Ia but reasonable to
suppose that the cause OF delay In the ar
rival OF his appointment is due to the
Governors well known respect for the
Sunday law, ConscieBtiously neither he
nor his secretary could engage In any
manual labor on the first day, commonly
called sunday, therefore Mr.. Cleveland's
commission would not be made until to.
day and could not reach the appointee until
tonight or tomorrow.

ment. Ed. Butler was the only politician
who denied knowing Mr., Cleveland, butlthis
was probably the fault OF his memory, for
when he he was told that one Of his branch

political blacksmith can.

Cleveland, Ohio, has been in the city sew
erais days negotiating with VIM. Kunz, su'
peilntendent OF the work. house, for the

IN the Lindell hotel. He said that he had
made a proposition for this labor In the
manufacture OF brushes that would be con-
sidered tomorrow by the Board OF Public
improvements. Mr.. Huston is agent for
several large manufacturersof brushes, and
would doubtless be able to furnish all the
facilities for a successful employment Of the
female conyicts.

LONDON, Sept "a A dispatch from
Paris to the Times says: ''rhe reply of the
government of China to the memorandum
proposals by the French government for
the settlement OF the Tonquin difficulty,
which was telegraphed to Pekin by Mar
qus Tseng, has just been reached. 1t
is said the response fayors the theory OF
division OF the neutral zone Of Ton

1t is not likely that France will reply IA
yorably to this counter proposition. Every
thing, however, points to the ultimate ia
yorable solution OF the questions at issue,
and there will be a friendly intervention
solicited by both nations.

The School Question.

We publish elsewhere in this issue two
communications from colored men in re-
gard to the school plank in the Lynchburg
platform. The one signed ''N'' was writ
ten by one of the most intelligent Of his
race III this section, and may be said to
fairly represent. the sentiment of his peO-
pie. That of the Rev. j. Strange explains
Itself. Nh. Strange's experience was doubt
less that of many others. Without think
ing, for the moment, what would be the
practical effect upon the schools, should
the democratic plan be carried out. and
deceived by its semblance of fairness, he
was disposed to give it his approval before
Il careful investigation of it's real char
acter and purpose had been made. Look
ing below the surface, however, and tracing
back from result to cause, it required no
deep penetration to discern how shallow
is the deception sought to be practiced
upon the colored voter. The whole scheme.
in brief, is to create two school systems
draw the color ; line between, and
make them thoroughly separate and dis
tinct. Then renounce all responsibility
for and sympathy with the cOlored schools
and let them drift away as far as possible.
This in short time would be followed by
q demand that each Of the systems support
itself from the taxes paid by the race it
represents.
Ii the coored people will consider the
past history OF popular education in Vir-
GINA they will not be slow in determining
where to lind its real friends. They may
well beware of the Greeks bearing gifts. y
Not only is the Lynchburg plan VIOLA
