Rev. J. R. Riley, the new pastor
at the 18th st. Presbyterian church,
was born in the State of Missouri,
near the town of Penyville of slave
parentage. He was raised in the
country of Kentucky near the vii
liage of Bexton. He entered the
Toronto German school, where he
remained three years. He entered
Knox College, and was the first
colored man that ever marticulated
and graduated from the college.
The American Baptist says: "that
among his classmates were Rev.
w. HI. Simpson,, D. D., Rev. Fran
els w. Fame, D. D., and Rev. John
McNabb, d. d. He was licensed
in st. Andrews church, London,
Sept. 27, 1867. Leaving Canada,
he went to Nashville, Tenn, where
he took charge of the Mckee school
No. 2, for six months, afterwards
employed as teacher under the
auspices of the "Freedmen's Bu-
reau," at Johnsonville, Tenn, for
six months. He was sent from
there as a Presbyterian missionary
to Leavenworth, Kansas, where he
remained nearly two years doing
missionary work. From there he was
sent to Louisville, KY, where he
was ordained and installed pastor
of Knox Presbyterian church. Con
sidering he is the only colored
man in this district, Mr.. Riley
has received all the honors his
Presbytery could bestow, served as
clerk repeatedly, elected moderator
once, elected a commissioner to
the General Assembly Of the Pres
byterian church which met in Gin
cinnati in 1885.
He is exceedingly courteous and
a man that wears well. No man
ever has an unfair or unkind word
to say of Rev. Riley. In fact no one
would risk his own reputation fol
fairness by accusing Rev. Mr.. Ri
ley with anything mean or low."

surrounded by several beautiful
young ladies, who said take a
chance sir? o! give me vote
The reporter being bashful he did
not know what to do or how to be
relieved from the attack of the
females. Of course, he did not want
to insult any nor did he refuse to
vote, although he only had 5 cts,
in his pocket. To relieve himself of
embarrassment he voted for every
thing that came along, with the
understanding that he would settle
up before he left. Everything
worked satisfactory until about
breaking up time. Who should the
scribe see approaching him but a
host OF beautiful faces, coming after
the poor Bee to give up its honey.
Major w. @. Cox, who is chair
man of the fair committee and the
"plumed Knight" of the South,
came to our relief by saying, ladies
this is Bee scribe. All indeed
said the ladies, who immediate. V
left and in a few minutes after the
Bee was seated before sumptious
repast. The Bee scribe can only
thank the Major who at all times
comes to the relief of the helpless
and unprotected.
1t was ascertained from the Mai.
or that the fair was a success. TO
be sure the Bee scribe knew that.
especially when the Major was at
the head. This gentleman has
gained a host of friends since he
has been in the city and his popu-
larity among all classes is on the
increase daily. There are several
prizes to be voted for as follows {:
A solid gold watch TO the lady who
receives the highest number ofvotes
over 500; gold watch to the gen.
tleman who receives the highest
number of votes over 500; a set OF
china to the person receiving the
highest number Of vetes over 200 ;
a black silk to the lady receiving
the highest number of votes over

WHY COLORED MEN SHOULD
SUBSCRIBE FOR A PAPER
PUBLISHED BY HISOWN
RACE.

First-It shows a mark of in
teIligence, pride and consterna-
ton of thought which may shape
and guide us in the future and
elevate our condition.
Secondly-Because the colored
people are separate race associa-
ting among themselves, and other
papers as rule do not publish
their social and dom. site affairs.
Third-Because when questions
arise that divide us socially or po-
lItieally from the white race we
have a paper to speak upon our
side OF the question.
Fourth-Because it shows that
we have the nerve and manhood
to stand up aud advocate through
our own journals all privileges for
our race that are enjoyed by the
white citizens of this country.
Flfth--Because it is the only
means by which we can te; ch aud
educate the minds of our people to
become active, progressive and
show to the world what we are
doing to advance the interest of
our Race--a hundred other rea>
sons TOO numerous to mention why
we should take a colored paper
we should take white paper also
as we'll and learn what they are
doing to build up their race
Thousands of colored people CONS
plain that they do not have time
to read-this cannot be so, for
every man can find one half an
hour in every twenty -four no mat
ter what his avocation may be-

FOR THE EYE OF REPUBLI.
CAN SENATORS. THE
COLORED PRESS EN-
DORSES MATTHEW'S.
1t can be seen by extracts from
some of the leading journals OF
the country that J. g. Mathews,
Recorder of Deeds is endorsed.
WASHINGTON BEE.

When Recorder Matthews was
first appointed by the President to
be Recorder of Deeds for the Dis
trict of Columbia all the colored
papers in the country, numbering
over hundred, endorsed the ap-
pointment as just recognition of
The colored citizens of the United
States. These newspapers repre-
sent the sentiment of the whole
race as they are the exponenta of
various political creeds and politi-
cal parties Of the country. Mt d
single colore1 paper raised au OBJ
lection bnt nuory QUO responded
in applause to President Cleve
lands selection of the gentleman
who succeeded Mr.. Douglass, the
latter having rendered his resig-
nation. 1t is to be hoped that the
Senators will note this fact when
the name of the Recorder is sent
in for confirmation and not be
misled into the belief that Mr..
Matthews is not the choice of the
colored people of the country, for
he is the choice as expressed by
the colored press of the country,
and he has commended himself to
the American people as a gentle
man of refinement, culture and
business qualifications who was
manly enough without fear or
favor to rogistor his honest senti
ments and convictions at the bal
lot box as all other American vo-
ters should do.-The Bee.
In the above the Bee takes an
out spoken manly stand and one
We heartily endorse. Why Mr..
Mathews, though negro demo-
crat, should not receive the same
recognition and courtesies at the
hands OF the republican senators
as do white democrats appointed
by President Cleveland unoer his
administration, is too apparent;
1t is nothing but that criminal
prejudices of caste that are SC
common to the American people,
her statesman and scholars, against
the Afro-American. Had Mr..
Matthews been white, they would
have voted for his confirmation as
a duly, with that due respect they
voted for Mr.. Cleveland's white
appointments. Now We are sorry
that the race should be stabbed
and prescribed in the house O.

has said. "a mans foe shall bs

HENDERSON TEXAS.
(From the Educator J

From the Educator.)
In answering the question pro-
pounded to the EDUCATOR, we have
only to use the two illustrations
given above, the positions of Min
lister to Hayti, and Recorder OF
Deeds. - While Jno. E. W.
Thompson may not be Mr.. Lang
ston's superior, he is certainly his
equal; and the Wa h;ngton Bee is
authority for the statement that
the office of Recorder of Deeds
was never 40 we'll fllnd orI -
aged ss now. This proves that
Mr.. Cleveland made no mistake
in selecting Matthews to succeed
Douglass. The former is very
highly educated, and hence, is far
the latter's superior in that one
particular. However, Langston
and Douglass have long been the
champions of the rights of the
race, and the Offices would not
have been poorly filled, had they
been retained Concerning Mr..
Matthews confirmation the De,
troit Plaindealer, far-seeing and
staunch Republican journal says: =
eve cannot see, although un-
compromisingly republican in our
convictions, how any Afro Ameri.
can journal can oppose Mr.. Mat
thews. He has shown by his e.
cord for years past that he isa con-
sistent democrat, and believes bis
position to be the right one. He is
appointed to act under a demo.
cratic admlnist alton, and has the
ability to 80 act. What we are
looking for is men of strong, con.
sistent convictions, and we are
willing to let them succeed under
their own banner. There is nc
question before the country now
to stir up political chickering's. Il
is simply the propriety of "a dem
ocratic government running it,
| affairs within itself.
