a w~x% saea !
Say The Cleveland Gazstte:
aThe Democrats are rewsrding Peter H.
Clark for his services at the last State cleo
tion by appointing him Trustee ofthe State
University for seven years. A Republican
candidate for the Presidential nomination,
Senator John A. Logan of Illinois, surely
does not intend to force upon the 2 $4,000 Re-
publican voters of Ohio, as their represents
tive upon a commission, q colored Democrat,
Peter Il. Clark. Does Senator Logan sup
pose that the fact thst a rolored Democrat
named in his bill as a member of-tlfis~ CON-
mission will recommend it to the Democratic
Legislature and gain for it a favorable con-
sideration?1 1t will certainly not aid him in
his canvass for the Republican Presidential
nomination, because the progressive and az
gre~ssiyeacolored voters of Ohio will not think
fayorably of'any man who attempts to force
such a ma as Peter Clark is known to be,
upon them" '-@'A as
Mr.. Clark, the gentleman mentioned above
was at one time a prominent candidate for
the presidency of Howurd University, and
we suppose it was Oh account of his high
moral standing and fitness for the position.
Every one who knows the history of Mr..
Clark. knows that he is an educated man, a
man of moral worth and a representative
Negro. The fact of his supporting Judge
Hoadly for Governor, should not, in our
opinion, be a barrier to his serving as a mem
Der of the proposed commission. Norshould
Senator Logan's chances for the nomination
be impaired because Mr.. Clark is named as
one OF the Commissioners.
Perhaps the Gazette is not aware, however,
that Gen. Logan is not the fatheruf the bill,
but introduced it by request. AS for us, we
would not have selected Mr.. Clark, for the
reason, we believe that a majority of that
commission should come from the South.
The Gazette, having its birth and being in
a section of country renowned for its broad
and catholic views, certainly ought to find
objections more tangible TO lotl, Mr.. Clark
and Senator Logan, or none at al. And We
venture the assertion that no Negro has ever
received 80 honorable recognition at the
hands of a Republican administration; for
elsewhere in this Issue it will be seen that
the Gazete-5scked by $4,000 colored vo-
ters, is begging for a delegate to the National
Convention. A little independence seasoned
with backbone is what you need

An UEHOLY WAR.

jest how a CIR stan or Godfcaring editor
can be forever indulging in a wholesale
abuse Of any people without cause, we can
not see. There seems to be a spirit Of
"cqssedness" like BanQno's Ghost, forever
hapntifg the ssnctum ofsome o -four editors,
and they in turn vent their spleen on the
Negro, The Negro is held responsible for
the doiHgs Of every vagabond and scamp
who has been able to gain his confidence and
abuse it. Yet, the Negro, comparatively
speaking, has been a very small figure in the
Management of politica! affairs as most every
thing IS done without consnlfing him. What
va desire to see Il, that the responsibility
rest where It rightfally belongs, and athst
men and parties be held accountable for their
misdoings and not the Negro race. l.aa

VICTORY FOR THE FRIENDS OF

The Educational bill before Congress,
about which so much has been said and
written. has Just passed the Senate ty y
vote Of 33 for to IL against. This is a sig
nal victory, at least for those who are I'M
able to educate themselves, and its final pas.
sage will be hailed with gladness through

We regret that there is not a compulsory
feature in the bill. 1t would then be com
plete, and we hope that such an amendment
will be added in the House.

We learn that daylight is visible through
the upper portion of tunnel A, below the
Sacramento river bridge, but the lower part
of the tunnel is of such hard iron rock, that
the drilling and blasting proceeds slow.
Owing to the tough nature of the rock, it is
impossible to do anything with the Bur-
leigh drills, and the work is performed with
hand drills and sledge hammers. 1t is ex-
pected that cars will be run up to Dog
Greek by the lst of August at latest, as
everything is ready above the big tunnel
for laying the track as soon as construction
trains can be sent up from Redding. The
G. P. managers are shipping below every
thing used in railroad wotk, except what is
actually necessary to complete the road to
40 mile post, which indicates that they
have quit for good. It Is suspected by the
G. P. that Jay Gould is in control of the
Northern Pacific and Oregon roads, and
that he may eventually build down the
coast from Rock Poinb to gain an inde-
pendent road of his own to San Francisco.
In Oregon, 1T is suspected that the Centra,
Pacific has been endeavoring to secure the
Oregon branch, and that work wi | be re-
sumed again just as soon as the c. P. gains
control of the samc.-Yreka journal.
