SCHOOL TRUSTEES.

The unintentional discrimina-
ton against the color ed citizens
residing east of Tenth streetin the
appointment of school trustees, is
made apparent by noting the resi-
dence OF the other trustees. Mr..
Lovejoy represents and resides In
the first school district. Mr.. War
ner, ditto. Third Mr.. Baum, ditto.
Fifth Mr.. Curtis, ditto. Sixth Mr..
Mr., Griswold, ditto. Mr.. Brooks,
Mr.. Smith, and DR.. Purvis all re-
side in the Seventh. The Eighth
division, containing over 1000
children, is without a trustee.
This, however, will be rectlfied next
month by the Honorable the CJm-
mlssioners who we hear have every
disposition to do the fair thing
for the colord people of this district.

PINCHBA(K LOUISIANA
STANDARD.

"Kellogg's stock must be consi-
derably low when none but
Jimmy Vance is found to tell the
people, that he will be retained at
the head of politicle affairs in this
State. We take the liberty Of in
forming MIR. Kellogg, that such a
declaration from MIR. Vance is not
likely to benefit him nor the
party" "--Louisana Standard.
The Louisiana Standard other
wise known as the 2. B. S. Pinch
backs Standard edited by Mr..
Martiett, is about TO make war
on Ex-senator Kellog because
that gentleman voted for Senator
Logan and Hon. James @. Blaine
We advise our bretheran of the
South to be careful as to the vim
dictive course that will proaba-
bly, be persued by Mr.. Pinchback
and his followers who have perso-
nal pregudices against Mr.. KeI-
Iogg. Senator Kellogg has been a
true and honest friend to the
Negroes of the South and so far
as Mr.. Pinchback is concerned
Senator Logan defended him and
advoc Gated his claim when other
men in whom Mr.. Pinchback has
confided and supported, deseIted
him. Let Mr. Vance, Kenneday
and others faithful Colored men
stand by Ex-senator Kellogg and
divie the political fossils to the
world. We advise all the Colored
people of Louisiana to support such
men as Vonce Kenneday and the
tolerated Editor J. r. Watson of

TO PREVENT MISCEGEN-
GRAFTON.

The House District Committee yester-
day authorized Mr.. McCOmas to report
favorabIy Mr.. Benefits bill to prohibit
miscegeneration in this district. 1t pro-
vides that all marriages between a white
peIson and person of Negro descent to
the third generation are forever prohibit
ed in the District of Columbia, and shall
be void. Every yerson violating the law is
to be deemed guilty of All infamous Of
fense, and,~upOn conviction, shall be SEN
fenced to imprisonment and labor for a
period OF not less then one or more than
seven years.
This bill has been severely criticised by
some citizens OF the city, as it is not ex-
plicit enough. Under the present system
of marriage license ony one can secure
such Il license from the clerks office, and
the authorities can never know the color
of such Wednesday Re

OUR REPRESENTATIVE

We desire the people of the
United States to know that Perry
ii. Carson does not represent any
class OF colored people of the dis
trict of Columbia. There is mob
that be has following him who are
particularly obnoxious to the re-
spectacle citizens. Mr.. Carson has
made his boasts as to the amount
of influence that he will have with
the incoming administration. For
the benefit of Mr.. Carson, and a
few negroes that he may probably
dupe, TO carry out few of his
petty schemes, we desire TO say,
emphatieally, that he will be, and
his followers will be, the most
mistaken individuals living. MI.
Blaine nor no other reputable
citizen will not recognize him.

We see from the proceedings of
the Democratic Senate at 3 atom
Rouge, Louisiana, that Hon. r. F.
Guichard (colored) has been con-
frmed as Senator from the first
district of New Orleans. 9. c..
Cordelll, democratic Senator from
the Parish of Tensas, late de-
serter from the republican party,
and now great apostle of the
democratic party, refused to take
the oath by the side of the Hon.
r. F. Guichard, his excuse being
that Mr.. Guich ard was gov
ernment official. The democratic
Senate overruled the refusal, how
ever, and confirmed Mr.. Guichard
in his seat, which action was but
just.
We understand that Mr.. Cor
dell is a candidate to supercede J.
Floyd King in Congress. We would
like to ask the Democrats of that
district a few questions. How long
has Mr.. Cordell been in the Dem
ocratic party, and what has he
done since he deserted the Re-
publican party? Has he not killed
more Negroes at st. Joe and
Waterproof during those bloody
massacres than any Democrat vr
bona fide citizen of Louisiana ?
We shall wait and see if this de-
serter from the Republican party
will be crowned with Congress-
ional honors.
We consider Mr.. Guichard one
of the ablest representa- yes of the
colored race in Louisiana.

TEACHERS EXAMINATION.

There is something radically
wrong in the system Of examing
teachers. For example take the
case OF person applying for
leadership in any of the grades
below the Eighth; they are sub
jected to a fair but rigid exami-
nation aud fail to receive the ap-
pointment, unless they attain a
certain per cent. For the Eighth
grade which requires a more
thorough knowledge of the several
studies taught, applicants are ex-
amined privately without compe-
ttion, In the High School docu-
mentary evidence, no matter how
ancient, is regarded sufficient
guarantee of the applicants fitness.
This is not fair, if an examination
is needed prerequisite TO deter
mine the titnesss of an applicant
to teach spelling, and addition,
how much more essential Is it that
those entrusted with the, h CHER
education of our children should
also be required to place on re-
cord their fitness to instruct. We
hope that since the colored trus-
tees have decided to place a male
in charge of the High School, they
will require at least as much from
the applicants as they do from the
poor girl who is back in her A, B,

it shall be further resolved, that,
if any Member of Congress, (that

white person (male) shall be caught
at Mahogany Hall on Thirteenth

colored female, which Is frequent
Iy done, such Member of Congress,
Senator, or male white person,
shall be fined not less than five
thousand dollars aud not more

Sec. 2. If any white male be
caught attempting to induce mu-
latla woman or Ebony-coIored
woman, (which is frequently done,
to fornicatiun or seen directly or
indirectly promoting prostitution,
such Member OF Congress, Sena-
tor, or white male shall receive 9

such an amendment is offered to
Mr.. Benefits bill and adopted,
the coIored people will have no
objection. 1t Is true there are a
few Negroes i'll the District of
Columbia who are anxious to be
white and marry white women.

1t has always been a desire and
a pleasure on the part of our con-
temporary, the National Republi-

Commissioners of the District Of

honest man, we believe that Judge
Edmonds is one. 1t is true that
the Commissioners can not satisfy
every body, but they have always
endeavored TO satisfy the wishes of
the people. We have always
taken occasion to compliment our
District Commissioners, because
we have found nothing serious
brought against them. Some time
ago one of our republican friends,
who is a real estate broker, had
a certain claim before the Commits
sioners, and Tor some reasons they
threw it aside. Because we spoke
well of the Commissioners, aud
Judge Edmonds, particularly, our
friend discontinued the BEE. Now
if our contemporary has anything
personally against Judge Edmonds
some other course should be adopt
ed. The colored people of Wash
ington have great faith in Judge
Edmonds, and if he, and Gen'l
West continue, as they have in the
past, We are confident that our
District Government will inn

The schools for children in
Washington and Georgetown are
quite largly under the control of
young, and in some cases, inexper-

ed is a superintendent who can
give some attention in the school
room, so these young teachers
spend an hour or two, at least. a
month. in the ''School-room OBJ
server" and when necessary
correct them as to methods, etc.
As it now is, Notwithstanding his
competent Asst. Mis- CoakIey,
