should be waited upon and the sub
ject brought to its notice. West
Virginia is making rapid strides in
this matter of education. Her pub
lie schools, as well as thosefor higher
culture, are the pride Of the State.
Let the law makers and the citizens

dereliction Of duty IN this particular
shall her fair name be furnished.
Let the law be 50 adjusted that no
child, of school age, can be twelve
month without at least the opportu-
nifty to attend school.
There should also be established
in some central location, an indus
trial and normal school, where, be-
sides mental culture, the pupils
might receive instruction in skilled
labor. We have State rich in I'M
developed resources, and to develop
these it viii require skill, and we
hold that it is much more to our
interests to train our own citizens
who are in full sypathy with our
institutions, than it is to import or
even encourage the emigration of
that ever restless element from Eu-
rope, (Which is now the curse of the
northwest,) by our failure to give to
future laboring classes Of the State
a chance to fit themselves for this
work. J. L. G.

Fashion Notes.

Little girls wear bonnets of the
same material as their dresses.
Sheer null chemisottes, with nau.
tical folds or tucks, are worn with
summer silk dresses.
The hair may be worn according to
fancy, high or low, and with light
fluffy waves over the forehead.
Faille chinois resembles foulard
silk. 1t is, however, of rich quality
and ribbed, and is remarkably soft
Although it has been predicted that
hats and bonnets will be less tower
ing, they still retain great altitude.
High collars and shoulder straps,
extending from the collar to the top
of the sleeve, are seen on dresses.
Lawn tennis costumes are made Of
striped and plain lawn tennis flannel,
which hos been brought to high de-
gree of perfection
Sailor and four-in-hand scarfs for
tailor-made dresses are Of pique, whits
silk and of India silk with white
ground and tiny oolored figures.
Combination is still the order Of
the day. No matter how severely
plain the dress may be, there is a
touch OF some other fabric or color to
enliyen it.
English driving capes are Of can
vass, lined with silk on plain thin wa
terproof cloth They are made with
three capes, the lowest one having
sling sleeves lined with contrasting
silk.

TnE report Of Senators Eyarts,
Logan and Teller, as members OF the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions, in the Payne investigation
case, still continues to be the subject
of comment by Ohio Republicans.
Nor is it to be wondered at, when we
consider the reputation for yeracity
and honor that these gentlemen have
always enjoyed. II may not be well
to come to too hasty conclusions in
matters Of such gravity, but the pc
sition Of these Senators ut present
seems inexplica bic, aud il is certain.
" debatable question why the rs
sembly of q great State should be
fatty snubbed and virtually accused
of imbecility or perfdy by men Of
such mental calibre. The question,
whether bribery employed to secure
a members vote in a caucus can be

hinge upon the technicality OF law,

"Dry.' Law Usnbrellas

A well-known barkeeper said yester-
day Il don't think that there are q
dozen barkeepers in Atlantic that viii
attempt to evade the law. There viii
be such attempts, but they viii be
made by men who are not now engGg-
ed in selling liquors. For instance,
q man told me to-day that he had
scheme which he intended to work,
and that it was one which the law
could not break up. He said he was
going to open an umbrella store. i
am not going to sell umbrellas, he ex-
planned; I'm going to rent 'em. I'm
going to have EN- made with big,
hollow handles of different sizes.
Some of the handles will hold pint
and some quart of whisky,and they'll
be made so that they can be unscrew-
ed from the stick. I'll rent pint size
for seventy-five cents and quart size
for 50. What, the law got to do with
what 1 put in the handle of umbrellas
Trent. I asked the man how long he
would allow an umbrella to be retain
ed by the renter ooh he said H.

MANHOOD.
citizens

Ii Inere De one IHiHS more tAdA
another which shows a want of real
manhood in q people, it is a dispo-
sition to be intolerant toward those
who choose to hold political views not
in accord with those held by the ma
jority Of their brethren. This dis
position is fast becoming weakness
on the part of the colored citizens
of this country, and it is taken adj
vantage of by the willy politician,
to ward off anything like concerted
actions which tend TO hasten the
time when the full measure of their
rights shall become a reality. They
are too ready to sanction or excuse
every thrust, however unjust, which
is given those holding contrary views
by the white politician of their own
faith, forgetting the while that it is
more manly to be man, thinking
for yourself and acting likewise, than
it is to be mere tool.
Take the case of Prof. Peter Ii.
Clark. We think it can be demon
strated that he, as an editor, orator
and educator, has done infinitely
more for his race than any or all of
the % Republican members of the
Cincinnati School Board, yet he was
virtually dismissed from a non. pc
litical position simply because he
chooses to be man, and will not bow
to the behest of those who think it
their special duty to think for color
ed men. There is but little differ
ence in that spirit, which in Missis-
sippi and South Carolina, shoots
men down for opinions sake, and that
which in Ohio would destroy their
material prosperity for the same
reason; the difference is one of de-
gree and not Of kind
We are no Democrat, we are Re
publican but our manhood is above
party. We are not asking fayors
of any party. We demand justice
for our race, we would make the
same demand in favor of the Irish
or any other oppressed people. On
general principles we say to the
colored man, watch the politicians
Of both parties. These are the up
per and neither millstones-each pre-
tend that they desire the prosperity
Of the colored American, and for
that purpose he is being ground be-
tween the two. But this grinding is
not the method by which our pros
perity, material or political, is to
come. Good citizens grow by work,
mental, moral and physical; not by
leaning upon other supports than
equal and just laws, impartially adj
ministered.
