IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rsIBUNEl
BosToN. Jan. 9.-Tuesday nights storm was &C.
we're in Boston and vicinity, although no serious
damage is reported. The rain began falling soon
after midnight. and continued unit about o'clock
this forenoon. The total precipitation was little
over two inches which will do a good deal OF
GOOD IN raising the ponds and sources OF water
supply in the State. which have been in some cases
alarmingly low, notably that of Cochltuate Lake,
which is the chief source of Bostons supply. FROM
the data at the Signal Office, it appears that the gale
of last night the heaviest that has visited DOS
ton since February. 1851 when the wind blew at
the rate of sixty miles an hour In the last three
wears it has not reached a velocity of forty-eght,
until 4:30 hlsmorning. At 1880 the violence had
abated on the top of the Equitable Building to
thrty-six miles an hour; and from that time the
velocity of the wind decreased very rapidly.
Many of the telegraph wires were down this
morning. which prevented the usual completeness
of the storm record at the Signal Service Ofice.
Nothing was heard from Block Island and other ex-
posed points. Provincetown reported a wind
velocitv of ifty-one miles an hour The direction

TRUSTEE BROOKS.

Ii any one has imposed upon the
Hon. Commissioners, it is the gen.
tleman whose name heads this ar
tic!e. He poses before the Com.
mlssloners as an economist in
school matters, and then goes
among the colored people de-
nouncing the Commissioners for
discriminating against the colored
schools, stating that the white
schools get what they ask for at
the expense of the colored schpols.
lie Is so much of an egotist that
he really believes that the entire
school system rests upon his shoul-
ders. In addition, he is blatant
demagogue, as was evidenced by
his action in the school-board
when Prof. Gregory was fighting
to have his children admitted to
the white schools; for then Mr..
Brooks tried to array the blacks
against the mulattoes, by introduc
ing a resolution looking towards
the expulsion of DR.. Purvis' chill
dren from the Franklin School
Building, on the grounds that they
were obtaining advantages by
reason of their color not accorded
the black children. This has been
MIR Brooks course throughout,
and while he has perhaps done
some good things, the injury
wrought by him in many ways
present the larger balance sheet.

HON. b. K. BRUCE.

The appointment OF Hon. 3. K.
Bruce us assistant U. S. Commits
sioner General has created no lit
tie jealousy among the Negro pol
itlclans of the country. Ii is the
fault of the colored race, 80 soon
as one of the race received a little
more recognition than the other,
or fortune should happen to deco
rate their name and fame with dis
tinguished honors, that moment
our prejudices are predominant.
We consider the appointment a
worthy one and given to the right
man. Senator Bruce is not pos
sessed of that prejudice, deception
and sycophancy that are so char
acteristic with our colored leaders.
lie will never tawn upon men and
afterward hug them, like some of
our would be leaders. He is not
guilty of such meanness. Until
the colored race learn how to re-
spect themselves, they will forever
be the slaves of the white people.
Let us unite and show to the ccun-
try that we are a unit and working
for one object. The appointment
of Mr.. Bruce is one that he is enti-
tied to by merits well earned as a
leader.

kins Is not elected, the party is to
blame, as the convention was
warned before he was nominated.
We believe however, that he will
be elected It is claimed that the
Negro holds the balance of power,
in the states of New York, Penn
sylvania, Indiana and Massachu-
setts, and should they vote with
the democrats, the republicans
will lose. While there may be a
few colored men who have gone
over to the democratic party, we
are confident that sufficient mum
her will remain to hail with joy
the election of Blaine and Logan.

THE SPARTA EXCURSION.

On Wednesday evening about haIf-past
six o'clock, while the radiant sun was
shining in resplenent beauty and the
calm and sweet breeze from the north
west famed the heat away from pleasure
seekers who had crowded themselves at
the wharf of the W. w. Corcoran for the
purpose OF accompanying the Sparta's
down OH an excursion to Glymont. The
boat pushed from the wharf at about
twenty-five minutes of seven. Down the
Potomac the Corcoran sailed while ex-
cellent music and dancing enlivened the
occasion. The committee Of arrange
ments of this celebrated social club made
everybody happy and satisfied. Among
those present were noticed Mr.. and Mrs.
w. FL. Black, Trustee and Mrs. j. III.

Liberia, Mr.. Paul McCheaw, Ex-Congress-

who have children in the colored
schools east of Tenth street. The
meetings were largely attended,
resolutions well tempered, digni-
fed, and firm; petitions signed by
hundreds of the best tax-paying
citizens, who while expressing in
dividual preference in the cllvice
OF a trustee, refrained from antag-
onizing any good man represent
ing their section.
They state that there are no
personal objection to the trustee,
Mr.. Smith, assigned to the Eighth
division, but complain of the
great distance and inconvenience
they are subjected to by reason of
his residence being in the extreme
western portion of the city; and
as a vacancy will occur whereby
both divisions can have resident
trustees, Mr.. Smith in Mr..
Brooks place in the Seventh;
they ask for a trustee from the
Eighth division.

THE COLORED VOTE.

There has been a doubt on the
part of some doubtful republicans
as to the colored vote. We. are of
the opinion that the colored vote
will be solid. At present there is
a great deal of opposition to Mr..
Calkins of Indiana, on account of
his great objection and defeat of
colOred men who were contestants.
The defeat of Judge Samuel Lee,
who was a contestant from South
Carolina, and who had a just claim,
never would have occurred had it
not have been for Mr.. Calkins.
The feeling in Indiana, so far as
the colored vote is concerned,
bitter against the election
Mr.. Calkins for Governor.
Colored men should not allow
their prejudices to defeat
the party. Since Mr.. Calkins
is the nominee of the convention,
it is the duty of every true repub-
lican to support him. If MIR. Cal
The bee., 1884-07-05

1t has been alleged that our op
position tc the disappointment of
Mr.. Brooks as school trustee is
from personal motives, this is not
so, our personal relations with Mr..
Brookr, as far as we can control
them, is undisturbed. Our objection
to Mr.. Brooks is based upon his
abuse of power, in using his office
as medium to crafty his person
al animosities; we oppose Mr..
Brooks because he has been as
long in office that he has lost all re-
gard for the rights and feelings of
teachers, parents and pupils. We
oppose Mr.. Brooks because by rea
son of his course he has allenated
the c1lored people from him; we
oppose him because his retention
would be the cause of constant
friction between him and the col,
ored people; we oppose Mr..
Brooks for his oft spoken insult to
the colored people in expressing
his contempt for them by declar-
ing that he did not want ''niggers''
to support him that he was sup
ported by white people.
For these and many other reasons
we are opposed to the re-appoint-
ment of Mr.. Brooks, and wish to
be distinctly understood that our
objections are not captious, but we
stand ready TO furnish proof in
support of every allegation made

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

The Sc ,ool board of Washing
ton consists of B. Ill. Warner,
lawyer and largest real estate
dealer in Washington; B. A. Love
Joy, W. w. Curtis, and j. FL,
Smith, lawyers; A. p. Clark
Mr.. Griswald, conveyancers and
gentlemen of large business ex-
perience; w. III. Baum, coal deal

Washington; DIR. G. b. Purvis, in
charge of Freedmen's Hospital,
also secretary and professor of OBJ
stetrics and diseases of women
aud children, Howard University
and J. II. Brooks, messenger
Navy Department.
The array of talent is quite form
liable, yet we understand that
with it all, representations have
been made to the Honorable Com
missioners that the school board
would be fnctus oticiO without the
services of trustee Brooks. Ifthat
be true we will admit our mistake IN
opposing Mr.. Brooks, and ask that
the other gentlemen be requested
to resign in order to give the COM
missioners an opportunity to ap-
point gentlemen commensurate,
if possible, in ability with Mr..
Brooks.

MINER BOARD.

The Miner school board touched
a very sensitive chord among the
coIored people in asking the re-
tentiOn of trustee Brooks, for the
wound Is not yet healed from the
stab given them by his action when
in the Legislature he voted against
admitting eolored children into
the Washington Normal School.
While a Legitimate difference of
opinion exist among the colored
people as to the mixing of the
schools in the District Of Colum-
bia, there Is no reason why a COL
ored man should, as Mr. Brooks
did, 60 out of his way TO lead and
champion the opposition.
The least Nh. Brooks could have
done was to have renamed quiet
and voted his convictions
but no, he preferred to lead and
defeat the measure, which he sue
ceeded in doing. The result of
which is two Normal schools in
stead of one, the principal benef-
Charles on the coIored side being
the Miner Board, vino receive
$4,000 a year for the rent Of their
school building, 10 per cent. a
wear on their investment.

THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

| Mr.. Wyatt Henderson, of Chicago, ILL.,,
and Geo. w. Williams, the colored his

committee of the Senate Wed'y morning
with a view OF procuring the $500, 900 ap-
preparation for the proposed CoIored Cell
tennial Exposition to take place at Chi
cago in November, 1885. Mr.. Williams
argued in favor of the appropriation; also
did Mr.. Henderson. There was also be-
fore the committee, Mr.. Pierce the cOlored
Commissioner to Liberia in behalf of the
New Orleans Cotton Centennial and Col.
Murrell OF the Col0red Associated Press,
taking notes. Senator Beck in question

the most convenient and appropriate place
for the colored people to hold this propOs-
ed centennial. Senator Hale in propound-

know if the board of directors or commits
sioners had been incorporated or not, and
if so, who was the organized head? Sen
ator Allison asked if the Senate was to
make the Appropriation who was it to be
made to? Mr.. Henderson could not give
the committe satisfactory answer, and it
Is probable that the matter will 90 over
until the next session of Congress. The
indications are that the colorcd people
can get the appropriation as introduced by
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, with
out any trouble as both parties favor the
measure, but they must have an organ
lied head. Our special reporter inter-
viewed two-thirds of the Senators and
Representatives and they all favor the ap-
preparation, providing we are properly Or
ganized with representatives from each
State.
