INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.

An association has recently been organized
for the purpose of conducting an industrial
school, especially devoted to the interests OF
the INDECENT. The purpose is to teach self-de
pendence to those who have been in the habit
of depending upon the public charity for sus-
tenance.
The result of the organization is, that two
schools have been opened. One in the Minor
School Building, corner of 18th and streets
N. W.. and one in the Baneker School Build
ing on Third street, near K street, the schooi
board having temporarily granted the use OF
a room in each building.
The officers of this association are the fol-
lowing: Mrs. B. X. Bruce. president; Mrs.
S, A. Martin, vice president; Miss Briggs, cor
responing secretary; Mrs. Otey, recording
secretary; aud Mrs. j. F. Cook, treasurer.

young men are gathering up the
reins, and soon they will hear
tie rumbling of the wheels of the
chariot Of progress and reform,
and woe be to the old fossils that

or stop Its onward march.
With the opportunities they
have had, the elder men have done
very well in their day; but the
strides that are now made in this
nineteenth century are too great
for them, and it requires the fleet
footed younger generation of our
race to come to the front and keep
pace with our Caucasian brethren.
There are many needed reforms
in the public affairs of the district
that the Young Mems Party will
have to look after. There are a
great many barnacles and teaches
around our public schools and
district government that need to
be scrapped off.
These young men will see, too,
this district to the Chicago con
vention will be composed of bet

formerly. Heretofore this district
has sent as delegates to the ma
tional nominating conventions
such things as dummies, figure
heads, and the like. But their day
is past, and henceforth our dele
gates will be live, active, and in
telligent men; gentlemen who
see to it that a plank ls inserted in
our national platform that will in
sure to the benefits of the citizens
Of the District of Columbia; that
the people be allowed to choose
their own rulers.
There is a great deal of work
before US, but with our shoulders
to the wheels, and right and JUS
tiee on our side, there will be no
such word as fail.

THE NEGRO THU, eBALANCE
laud sley.les OF 10 % asS7R 4,
%ehr "a no. --,airnrSarv--

We have no hesitaney in saying that the
Negro is the balance of power in the COM
ing political contest, that we admire the
principles of the Republican party, but
some of the managers of that party are
'nlmical to the interests of the colored
race, which cannot be denied, and the
sooner the Republican managers demon
strates the fact that this ostraised race is
recognized the better it will be for the
party. The time is fast approaching in
this country that party strife and party
factions will soon be obliterated. The
colored race don't receive that consider
ration at the hands of the party that they
have kept in power which they are en-
titled to. This is a progressive age and
the Negro has been taught to know that
he is no longer slave, but an American
citizen. What assurance of protection are
we to have? Shall we continue to be the
newer of wood and the drawer of water?
''of what consequence is it to us whether
our chains are forged by our enemies or
fellow citizens, since the victOrs are re-
warded, let them encounter the dangers
of the war ;? We have asked for protect
ion, are we to have it? Are we to live in
Republic that is powerless to protect its
citizens? A conservative policy may be
sufficient to concilliated the Democratic
party, but it will not give the
Negro protection or satisfaction. 1t were
better that we die under shotgun policy
fighting for liberty than, it would be to
live in country styled a Republic where
its citizens are denied their rights and
butchren like hogs. The Chicago conven-
ton will meet next June, what will be
the platform of the party? There must
not be any lodging of questions. That
platform must Ue straight, forward, plain,
and concise. No equiv ocation on the part
of our managers. Remember that the
Negro is the balance of power.

THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS
THE HOUSH COMMITTEE AGAINST
SUFFRAGE,

The House District committee yesterday. in
deciding to report Mr. Rosecrans bill to pro
vide for the election of the commissioners TO p
the District of Columbia by the qualified elect
ors thereof, as stated in THE STAR, were unan
1mous in their opposition to suffrage in tn e
Dfstrict.-EvENING STAR.
We are not surprised at the House District
committee reporting adversely Mr.. Rose
cranzs' bill. SO long as this city is con-
trolleL by the element that ruled in DAYS
gone by, so long will one hundred and
eighty thousand people be denied the
elective franchise. We can Judge how
soon we arc to have the restoration of
suffrage by the adverse report of the Dis
trict committee. Even the Democrats are
disgusted. What is the country coming
to when even Democratic committee be-
comes disgusted with district suffrage.
The young men can how see the necessity
of political reform in the District of Col

There seems to be misunderstanding
among the District Republicans as to the
construction of the call of the chairman,
Mr.. Clapp. We state now that Mr.. Clapp's
call is not in conformity with the call of
the central committee, hence the Repub-
llcans must contine themselves to the re-
port of the committee, created by the

all halls have been rented, the presidents
of the district clubs can call their meet

In the class of persons attending these affairs

last year. Lieut.. Brown and his committee
are certainly to be congratulated on their sue
cess in wedding out undesirable parties and
securing first class entertainments.
Some envious person, jealous of the up
ward progress of this organization, sent
note to the musicians that the affair had been
postponed, with view of keeping them away
and breaking up the entertainment. The
malicious plot was fortunately discovered
and corrected in time to enable the Cadets to

that is being made by the respect
able citizens of this community
don't despair, but work with the
same determination and will that
have crowned all successful
revolutions. Be peaceable if we
can, but forcible if we must.
We ask for fair play. We appeal
to our young men to stand by the
Ship of State. Our interests are
paramount to that of all others.
We who have stood the burdens
and toiled for success to maintain
our homestead, should be the ones
to be recognized. Why should
our citizens be turned out of their
birth right and our Offices be given
to every slave and corrupt politi-
clan that has been forced to leave
his home Are we to have our
rights denied US on account of
foreign invasion Should a bona
tide citizen be denied for those
black legs who monopolize our
homes and trample upon our
rights? Now is the time to show
to the American Congress and the
respectable people of this commu-
nifty that our politics are no longer
controlled by a mob; that the rum
mill cannot buy the votes of colored
citizens; that men of other States
have superior advantages
and considerations in preference
to our own people. Now is the
time to strike. Now is the time
for citizens Of the community to
show their powers and fidelity to
a principle that we have fostered. |
We mean freedom and independ-
ence to an oppressed race of reo-
pie; we mean freedom and recog-
llhon to our young men ; to our
mothers. fathers sisters, and broth
