SCHOOL TRUSTEESHIP.

The colored people of Wash
ington are to have forced upon
them, for an indefinite period, Mr.,
John Ii. Brooks as school trus-
tee; and the citizens or rather
parents of over 1000 children
residing in the Eighth Division
are to be compelled to wade
through mud, slush, sIeet and hail
for a distance of two miles or more
in order to see a school officer,
and this in the face of protests
signed by thousands OF the best
colored citizens who are directly
interested and who reside in the to-
tally disfranchlsed section of the
city. The Commissioners NAV
have reasons satisfactory to them
for thus ignoring the Eastern.
Southwestern and a large portion
of the Northwestern section of the
city, in fact the largest division of
colored schools is denied the local
representation accorded the small
est white division. To the minds
Of parents and others interested IN
the education of over 4, 900 children
it is incomprehensible that out of
the many gentlemen named one
has been selected wfose name is a
stencil under the nostrils of decent
men, and who Is not only insult
Ing to parents, tyrannical to pupils
but terror to teachers.
This is the man whom the gen
tlemen in charge of the affairs of
the District propose to encourage
and perpeluate his license indefin-
itely, to insult the fathers and
mothers Of children attending the
schools for coloreG children in
Washington.

SCHOOL TRUSTEE.

There are several essentials
necessary for a school trustee be-
side educational qualification. A
school trustee should be gentle
manly in bis manner to parents,
teachers, and pupils; he should
study to make the school-life of
teachers and pupils pleasant and
agreeable; he should not assume,
when spoken TO by parents, the at
tltude Of a master; he should not
terrorIze over children as to make
them stand in abiect fear of him;
he should not seek to elevate HIM
self into prominence by casting ridi-
cule upon the Commissioners of the
District; he should not seek to es-
tablish a character for morality bv
attacking covertly the reputation
of others; he should be fair and
Just in his rulings; he should not al
low his personal prejudices to
strike down competent teachers; he

bones and stencil in the nostrlls

attempt to foist your peculiar no.
tions of reform and honesty upon
the American people will "dle a
borning." We hope these pre-emi-
nently good, wise, and virtuous
reformers will excuse us for charg-
ing them as Wolsey did Crom-
well: "Fling away ambition; by
that sin fell the angel; how can

In conclusion, we are happy to
inform our readers that the signs
of the times are auspicious for the
success of the Republican party.
From the States in the North,
East, and West, and even i'll some
parts of the South, comes the good
news that the Republicans are
marshaling their hosts and making
preparations for the grand march
to victory that awaits them In
November under the leadership of
the Plumed Knight of Maine and
the Black Eagle of IlIinois-the
statesman who has never been
vanquished in the forum and the
war .ior who never knew defeat in
the field.
Clansmen don't you hear the slogan,
Calling the men of Blaine and Logan,
Yes dear comrades, that We do,
Count on us we're coming too,
Where the Plumed Knight leads the way,
We will follow in the fray.

The Nep York Herald OF February goth, 1884,
contained an account of the burning of the house
326 Stanton street, New York City The origin of
the fire was unknown. Terror-stricken, Mrs. Van
Ripper jumped from the third story window to the
sidewalk, and shortly after died from the effects of
the fall. When the fremen gained entrance they
found the little girl Jennie with an infant brother
clasped to her bosom, both burned dead. In an ad-
joining room they found the father lying dead
beside the chaired remains of his nine-year old
son, Albert. The father had carried his wife
daughter and baby to the window, and was return
ing to save his son, when he, too. was oyertaken
by the flames and was burned to death. Thus in
a few moments, and without warning, whole
family were hurried into eternity.
The New York Herald Sas-in fact all the daily
papers-noted the fact that the family were insur-
ed in the Industrial Branch of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company.
The money was paid to the brother of Mr. Van
Ripper, who gave the following acknowledgement:
February 2gth, 1884.
beg 10 express my heartfelt thanks to the Me-
t.opolitan Life Insurance Company for their
promptness in settling the claims the lives of
my deceased brother, Cornelius Van Ripper, and his
three children. who lost their lives on the morn.
ing of the 9th inst. by the burning of the house
1926 Stanton street. New York City. The sad m
telligenee of the deaths reached me at my home
in Holyoke on the evening Of the day on which
they died. Immediately proceeded to New York,
reported the matter to the Company at ten o'clock
on the following morning, and within three hours
received the full amount due in settlement of the
claims.
A more fitting illustration than this OF the bene-
feencc Of industrial Insurance could not be
given, and deem il my duty to acquaint the pub

The courtesy with which was treated by their
