There is a great deal said in the
papers of late about Logan being the
author of the black laws of Illinois.
We wish to say that we lived in
Illinois long before Logan was law
maker, and we found those laws on
the statute books at that early day.
1t is true that Gen. Logan was very
bitter Democrat up to the breaking
out of the war, but we are satisfied
that he was an honest one.-Little

The Nea0 York Globe has come
down to hard pan. 1t has reduced
its size one seventh, because its sup
port was not what it looked for. The
admission is significant. 1t means
that tickleness in politics is not

old fashioned excellencies count for
more than dash and brillianoy- WASH

Cleveland and Hendricks is the
ticket. Cleveland is not very for
midable candidate and Hendricks has
a sore toe which will greatly inter
fere with his running. Hendricks! !
Hendricks we believe he is the same
man who got left with.the late Saml
Tilden in 1876 on similar expedi-
| tion.- Washington Grit

Logan the royal diadem of apprecia-

Spartan service in the cause OF our

Baltimore VindicatOr.
The average Democrat is nothing
if not time server and spoils seeker
To satisfy his greed for office he will
not hesitate either to lie, shoot or
steal. The offices, power, are what
he wants, and his philosophy dignlfies
any intamy which yields the result

Everybody who knows anything
about the Democratic party at all, Is
fully aware that it will never let up

never had any doubt as to the presi-
dents fidelity towards the colored

they advance-Cleveland for exam

From an act of assembly of the
State of Pennsylvania there ia no
prohibitory law preventing a child at
tending any public scoool in the dis
trict where itresides on account of its
color. This is a written law the OBJ
servance of which give the privilege
to any tax payer, whether he be
black or white, of giving his child the
liberal education which the public
school system provides. This is a
written law which stands as bold and
firm upon the statutes of the COM
monwealth as any other law ever
enacted and is duly recognized
Throughout the state. Children are
enjoying these advantages and readily
accept of the facilities offered, but
there remains an unwritten law as
closely and more persistently follow
y
ed than the written law itself which
is that only white teachers are en-
ployed in mixed schools, now there is
evidently an unfairness here which
should not exist. But this is not all
that is unfair, for ever since the ques-
of mixed schools has been agitated
colored people have only given 1t a
half hearted support knowing that
the absolute abandonment of separate
schools ment the exclusion OF colored
teachers from their profession. In
this city there are three schools whose
attendance consist almost entirely of
colored children and have only with
in the last year had a single white
scholar in attendance. Now in these
schools the board of control see fit to
mix the teachers because they are
known to be colored schools. Thus
it will be seen that the white teacher
has three chances where colored
teacher has but one and that very
limited. Now we raise the issue not
for colored teachers, for colored
schools because according to the law
no such schools exist but for the same
privileges and the same recognition
fer colored teachers as for whites
and we goa step farther and say ifwhite
teachers are to be placed in schools
denominated colored by this unwrit-
ten law then this law should be made
to re act on itself,or else 8s the colored
teachers enjoy but one chance to the
white teachers three, pace them in
the schools denominated as colored
Among the large number of scholars
who attend the high school are sew
eral colored children who when they
graduate and apply for teachers Ger.
tifcates do not apply with the ex-
pectation of being admitted TO any
school but one of the two schools de
nominated as colored, while their
white classmates have a chance fol-
any school in the city without ex-
ception. 1t is time that this line be
blotted out, the legislature has abol-
ished separate schools, now let the
board of control abolish the distinct,
ion on account of the color of teach.

CONSIDERABLE "soap" will be used
in this campaign, but there will not
be as many white lesguers, red shirt
riders and shot gun clubs as there
was in '76. Our advice to the colored
voters of the south is that unless they
can cast free, untrammeled ballot
to remain away from the polls and
at least save their lives.

New YORK state has abolished
colored schools, which, of course,
abolishes colored teachers. This is
an evil that follows in the waste of a
great good, but it must inevitably
be overcome. Justice demands that
mixed schools and mixed teachers
are one and the same.

Logan's record before the war, re-

Important to Tnypnyers.

For long period discount has been al
lowed for prompt payment of taxes. In 1876
congress legislating for the District of Colum-
bia provided discount of per cent. for the
payment Of tho whole amount of the tax, If
paid within thirty days from the time the tax
for the payment Of tho tax in two INSTALL
mcnts, where taxpayers SO elected to pay.
Congress at its last session abolished the dis
count or premium offered for full payment,
but retained the instsllment method of pay
ment, the result has been that many of tho
larger taxpayers choose to pay only half of
their tax in November last, therefore, they
should not forget tho fact OF the second half
being due this month aud that tho penalty
for not SO paying will attach on the LIST day
of June.
