EDITOR MANsIoN:-Dear S,r:-The COM
munlcation though your great telephone
by the "gentenan from ChIcOI' Is. ii. H.
concerning the organization of the State
Central Committee, has expressed my
views in full and, therefore it ':n.eets my
hearty concurrence
There is no part OF the work of our state
convention OF which VIC need be ashamed,
unless 1t be the great and super1uOus dis
play OF our parliamentary Knowledge, and
1T reached its Hood tide under the mid
night gas, when no visitors or spectators
were near, but do hope the State Central
Committee will take second step and
unite to its important organization, each
county in the State, Tor then and only then
can the work of the committee from time
to time, reacn the great mass OF our peO-
pfc.
Each county would not necessarily be
represented i'll every meeting of the COM
mlttee, but each county would have a
knowledge of the work Of the committee
by means OF communication or The press.
Some one OF more of the county being u
member or members of the committee.
l do not speak sO becaLse my county has
no representation in the committee, tor
there were others overlooked that are
important to the work as Ashby, nor do
complain from selfish motives, for l con-
slider my place in college more dear, aud it's
advantages more essential to my future,
yet awhile, than any rank or position 1
may attain political or religious. But in
view Of the fact that sin unity there is
strength, )" ask that the committee take
this under due consideration.
Yours truly, "Gentlemen from AshDy!'

PHILANDER SMITH COLLEG

"The falling off of scholars
from Phi,ander Smith College is
due to some change in the facul-
ty, or it is 80 reported" Yes,
the trustees or board of manage
ment may as we'll learn now as
in future, that the colored race
makes a demand for colored tea
chers in colOred schools, and will
not submit to all whites being
employed in any school TINT is
intended for colored alone. "Your
race can't afford to draw the col
or line" Why not we maintain
the line, as it is always drawn by
the whites? The Methodist
church has a field of labor too
wide to draw a color line in Lit
tie Rock, Arkansas. Or in any
other city, and expect to realize
any good from such work, we do
not think for a moment that the
friends of the north intended that
the white and colored should be
taught in separate schools, if so,
then the church has proclaimed
the wrong doctrine from her pull
pits. "Come all and we will fit
you for lite" and when we have
a colored lady or gent in every
way competent to even be heard
of in our colored schools, three
or four men get together and say
''we must get him, or her out of
this place, | will not have posi-
ton long if 1 don't" So we learn
that this is one causes of the
difficulty with the faculty of
Philander Smith College. Again
1T is the first time in the history
of juris prudence that a person
charged with a crime had to es-
tablish their Innocence. We al
ways have been taught innocent
until proven guilty. Who will
answer this? A. K.

growing very hot, and that our
colored friends are greatly divid-

At this distance we do not know
anything about the local issues,
but as the Ohio Legislature elects
a senator to succeed Pendleton,
we hope our friends will see to it
that they vote for and elect re-
publicans to the legislature. In a
national point of view, we are all
interested in the Ohio election,
our wrongs cannot be righted

grievances make them known to

that should the democrats win
they will never give you any

COUNTY REFORM.

The emergency that seems to
require the services of an exam
lining committee to investigate the
books and accounts of our county
officers, in order to satisfy public
clamor in this directien, should
stimulate public thought upon
this point. as the best means of
avoiding a repetition of this tedi,
Gus and somewhat expensive pro-
cess in the future. 1t has been
suggested that the creation Of an
auditor Of public accounts, or
county auditor, would meet the
eme rgency. If so, 1t is time that
the matter was being discussed
and some plan agreed upon by
which there can be the proper
checks and balances placed upon
each county officer in the trans
action of the business of the coun-
ty. AS under the present system,
there seems to be no reliable tests,
or if such there be, there ID 30
much circumlocutSon in the cus>
tom Of doing business in these Of
fees, that no one short of an ex-
pert can get at the "bottom facts"
of the county's business. Then
again, there is that fifth judicial
wheel, the Chancery Court. This
should be dispensed with, Pulas-
XII county erected into separate
j judicial circuit, and the county
business of the thancery court
transferred to the circuit court.
This would greatly simplify the
con Fusion that has grown up i'll
our county affairs, as one of the
results of two many courts at one
time and not enough at others.

The American Agriculturist,
from which we insert an extract
in another column. gives a toler-
ably fair description Of the lowest
type of the negro "share farmer" "
T he landlord and tenant system,
which has been the curse Of Eu-
ropean countries, since feudal
time, finds its counterpart in the
slip-shed farming and over reach
ing exactions which characterizes
the labor system of the south,
until the relations subsisting be-
tween these two classes are placed
upon better footing, it is un-
reasonable to look for any i'm
provement in the condition of
this class of farmers. 1t is an
unwritten law of mans nature,
that he who tills the soil and
makes it fruitful should own it
In some particulars the agri-
culturist falsifies the record in
this otherwise truthful but dark
portraiture of the ''negro share
farmer"
In speaking of the usurious
money lender he says: ''This
worthy like the class he thrives
off of, is a negro" While this
may be true, in a. few cases, the
vast majority Of these shylocks
are whites, and the writer evi-
dently dlsliked to destroy the uni
form colouriDg Of this piture by
saying SO.
