of the colored races rapid intellectual
advancement The editor of one OF
these papers tells our correspondent in
Washington that the advocates of an
independent political movement among
the negroes are few, and that they
have scarcely any influence. His race
is still true to the Republican party,
and the little handful of disaffected
men of color who are seeking new
political alliances are practically with
cut followers. 1t is not surprising
that the colored men cling to that
great political party that led them
from slavery to freedom. 1t is i'm
pcrtant that the negro should vote
intelligently, but while it may be true
that thousands of negroes vote the
Republican ticket because of the
party'S work in their behalf in the
past, and not because they understand
and advocate the partys present plat
form, it is true that thorough educa-
tion cannot fail to strengthen their
allegiance to the organization. In
their Ignorance they are led by SEN
timent to do what education would
require of them, and are following in
the footsteps of their most trust
worthy leaders. The best interests
of the race may demand that the
color line shall be broken, but the
time has not come when prudent
negroes can vote the Democratic
ticket.-The Neoc York Times.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

There is to be an appeal to the
trustee board 10y the colored taxpayers
and parents of the children in our
public schools, requesting the removal
of the present supervising principles.
We cannot see the reason why that our
own talent should be ignored and teach
ers imported into our city. The people
are tired of this business and it is hoped
that our new school board will look
after the interests of our home talent.
There are competent young ladies in
this city fully capable of teaching, and
graduates of Howard University. but
heretofore there has been prejudice
TO Howard's graduates for no cause.
and rather than TO appoint the home
talent from the Howard graduates,
teachers have been imported into our
schools. The schools should be reor-
ganized as soon as procticable. We
don't believe in immediate changes
except in our high schools. The high
school should either be abolished or a
competent teacher appointed. An i'm
mediate change is necessary. This
favoritism which has heretofore been
practiced should not be considered
when worthy teachers might be pre-
moted and appointed. Miss Emma
Merritt ought TO succeed Miss Mary
lfeed. Miss Merritt is worthy teacher,
and trustee Smith could not pay the
citizens higher compliment than 10y
appointing this talented lady principal
of the Lincoln school to succeed Miss
Reed. What the people and The COM
lnissioners desire is talent. In this
weeks issue of the BEE we publish a
complaint from parent.

How Josey Was Caught.

JOsey liked to keep office for hi,
Uncle Doctor, as he called him. Bnt
the doctor did not always like to trust
him there when he was called awar
for Josey had a habit of looking inf,
things that made the doctor fear ba
might get into mischief. for Josey w,s
a meddlesOme boy. One dav how
ever, Josey found himself alone. and
began to look at everything on the ta
bic. The electric battery pleased him
most.
"HOl I know how to fix this" bo
said. eff any man came nthat want
ed 'lectric treatment | could do il a.
well as Uncle Doctor. THERE Now
it's all right Now you take hold Of
these handles"
The taking hold was very easv
enough, but letting go was quite an.
other matter. Any little boy or girl
who has ever tried it will know how
Josey's arms jingled and ached, but he
had to hold on-he could not let %
and there he was, tears running down
his face, when his uncle heard bis
zpraarnC and carno in
"You got caught that time, Josey."
said his uncle when he had set him
free. 'NOw, remember that bad hab-
it's hold fast to a boy worse than an
electric battery does, and are harder to
get rid of. And meddling is very
bad habit"

stroy it.
1t may be rather old-time stuff to
say it, but it is nevertheless stubborn
fact, that whatever of legislation has
been put on the statute books in this
country that we might be recognized
as men and citizens, has been the work
of Republicans and not Democrats.
Every step wehave made since 1868,
the Democratic party of the country
have opposed and contested, North,
South, East and West: it has been a
solid unilication against every measure
and proposition that had the least favor
in it for our race.
Thirteen thousand black people have
been murdered in the South since the
war ended, all on account of their re-
publicanism. The Democratic party
has not only failed to condemn these
murders, but have shielded, protected
anu supported the perpetrators oI tne
bloody deeds.
AS Mr.. Chase says: ''the voice of our
leaders yet enjoin us to the faith of
true republicanism-Mr. Bruce, Gov.
Pinchback, Mr.. Douglass, Mr.. Lynch,
Mr. Elliott, Mr.. Smalls, Mr.. Gibbs, Mr..
Wilson, Mr.. Langston, and the other
representative colored men of the
country, tell us that the time has not
yet arrived for the dismemberment of
the party and the principles that give
the country freedom from slavery; the
party that made it so in legislation
that all men are equal before God and
the law. G, NJ. \.

The Vain Old YVOman.'

There was once an old woman so
very poor that she had no house. but
lived in a hollow tree. One day she
found a piece of money lying in the
road. Full Of joy at her good fortune.
she began to consider what she should
buy with the money.
eff | get anything to eat," she said
to herself, II shall quickly derour it,
and that will be the end of the matter.
That will not do at all. If | buy
clothes, people viii call me proud, and
that will not do; and besides I have
no closet to keep them in. All. | have
it'll / will buy a broom, and then ey-
erybody that 1 meet will think | have
a house. A broom is the thing. A
broom it shall be-"
So the old woman went into the
next town and bought a broom She
walked proudly along with her pur-
chase, looking about her all the time
to see if people noticed her and looked
enyiOus, thinking of her house. But
as no one seemed to remark her, she
began to be discontented with her bar
gain.
'.Does everybody have a house ex-
eept me?" she said to herself, GROSSLY.
al wish 1 had bought something
eIse!''
Presently she met a man carrying a
small jar of oil.
"This is what 1 want" exclaimed
the old woman; anybody can have a
house, but only the truly rich can have
vii to light it with"
So she bartered her broom for the
oil, and went on more proudly than
ever, holding the jar so that all could
see it. Still she failed to attract any
particular notice, and she was once
more discOntented. As she went
moodily along she met a woman with
a bunch of large flowers.
"Here, at last, / have what want,
Ghe old woman thought. "If can get
these, all that see me will believe am
just getting my house ready for bril-
liant party. Then they'll be jealous,
1 hope"
So when the woman with the flow
ers came close to her she offered her
oil for them, and the other gladly
made the change.
'INow I am indeed fortunatep she
said to herself. "Now I am some.
bodyp'
But still she failed to attract atten-
ton, and, happening to glance at her
old dress, it suddenly occurred to her
that she might be mistaken for a ser
want carrying flowers for her master.
She was so much vexed by the thought
that she flung the bouquet into the
ditch, and went home to her tree emp
ty-handed.
'lNow am well rid of it all" sne
said to herself. Nicholas.

seem to think the convention to be held

The most of the men that are oppos-

a delegated convention, are of the same
