there is No doubt that the country

COLORED ART SCHOOLS.

1t is to be regretted that out OF
the entire colored race so few are
artists in painting, engraving,
drawing, sculpture or skilled in
designing models in ornamental
and industrial work of the various
descriptions. 1t is true that here
and there may be found those who
in spite of every obstacle and like
the plant that grows, as it were,
out of the sterile rock, have reach
ed to prominence in the world of
art almost unaided except by the
teachings of nature and the inspi-
ration of their native genius. No
one thoroughly acquainted with
the race will doubt that the essen
tial qualities of an artist are in
herent in the natures ofvery many
of the colored people, more espe-
cially among the youth of the
race. AS musical composers and
in the rendition of written music
the reputation of the race is world
wide. The art in needle work has
already been strikingly developed,
while their skill in painting and
sculpture though in isolated in
stances is attested by exhibitions
at the colored fairs throughout
the country. But the genius of
the race is hampered on account
of the want of schools for art
training. A prejudice exists
against their admission to profess
sional life and In military and

HOW THE EDITOR OF THE COLORED
REPUBLICAN ORGAN OF NORTHERN

COMMITTEE AT COLUMBUS.

A Columbus, O., special to the
Cincinnati Enquirer tells the fol-
lowing story of the editor of the
colored Republican organ ofnorth-
ern Ohio:
Ii. G. Smith is bright and ag~
gressive young colored newspaper
man of Cleveland. He is the edi-
tor of the Cleveland Gazette, the
colored organ of northern Ohio.
He and Fred Douglass are on the
most friendly terms. The Cleve-
land Gazette defended Douglass
to its utmost ability tor marrying
white wife. Hence the present
relations that exist between Doug
lass aud Smith. Douglass is going

the legislators may have to say on
the subject the people have taken
it in hand and the probability is
that the Legislators will find it
profitable to do their duty toward
the good work or stand from

of money, annually spent in the
support of the whisky traffic, is too
important to be overlooked, espe-
cially, when we reflect that the
greater part of it comes from the

REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY.

On the rather violent supposi.
ton that there may possibly
be some colored men who believe
with Mr.. James G. Matthews, who
is a Democrat for revenue only,
that the Democratic party is the
best friend of the coloIed man,
the Albany Journal invites the at
tention of snch to a description,
meant to be humorous, in the Ma
con (Ga.) Telegraph, of the forci-
BILE election of three colored men
from a first class railway car. 1t
appers that three colored men, well
dressed and of such light complex
tion Gthat it was difficult to say
whether they were colored or not,
while on the way to attend we'd
ding at Macon, took seats in first
class car on the Georgia railway.
Some white mail passenger, who
was too cowardly to attempt to
eject the colored men, telegraphed
to Geneva as follows: "Three coonS
in first class car. Bring out the
brass band" About dozen white
men boarded the train at Geneva,
and, taking the colored men rough
" by the throat, threw them out of
the car and then compelled them
to enter second class coach with
the warning that if they left the
Car before they reached Macon they
would suffer. The Albany Journal
adds: "It will be observed that it
took a dozen white men to handle
the three colered men i'm this cow
ardly affair. Why a we'll dressed,
gentlemanly looking colored man
has no right to ride in first class
car in Georgia, perhaps Mr.. Jim
of followers will be able to explain"
National Republican.
The National Republican which
contains, at all times, great deal
hypocrisy in seeming defence of
the rights of the Negro, published
the above article and comment on
the action of few southern Negro
haters toward three colored men
and requests Mr.. Matthews, our
Recorder of Deeds, or his followers
10 explain. Not being a follower of
MIR. Matthews nor are we in any
way married to his theory, we take
the liberty of stating to the Nation.
al Republican, that there is a diff
ference between northern and south
ern democrats. Mr.. Matthews, we
believe, has the most abiding faith
in the former. If our contemporary
the Republican has so much
love for the Negro it should
have influenced former republican
presidents to have put a stop to
southern outrages practiced under
former administration. We don't
claim that the democratic party is
our best friend nor do we claim that
the republican party has been.
The worse enemy we have are in
the departments today are few
white washed republicans. Take
secretaries Lamar and Whitney
they are favorably disposed toward
the despised Negro. In the future
the Negroes intend to support men
and not party.

CLARA TO LOUISE.
Dear Lou

1 DSdl
The examination of teachers for
positions in our public schools
took place at the Franklin build
ing last Tuesday morning and
concluded Thursday. There
were quite a number to be exam
ined, especially those who did not
| hold certificates. DIR. Francis has
decided to be assigned to the
county schools, Prot. Gregory will
retain the 9Th and MIR. johnson
the 7th division. This arrange
ment was satisfactory to the three
colored trustees. 1t is now hoped
that there will be harmony in our
schools, ifnot Commissioner Webb
will appoint men who can be
harmonious with each other i'm
the schools. I believe that our
schools will be improved un-
der the new board of trustees
There is in this city certain class
who impose upon those who are in
menial circumstances. The color
ed society in this city needs to be
improved. That has been the
ruination of our schools. There is
social clique that has endeav-
ored to run our schools, to the det-
riment of the more deserving.
South Carolina is sufficiently rep
resented now and | hope that the
citizens will be given chance.
There is no encouragement for our
young men. They are excluded
from positions by those who have
no business here or elsewhere.
Now, if our trustees will only look
into the schools more and see that
the deserving are cared for /
know the people will compliment
them. [ have no criticism, as yet
to make. | shall give the new
trustees an opportunity to improve
our school system before I shall
attempt any criticism.
THE SOCIAL SEASON
will be quite gay this winter. Re-
ceptions among those of the
Household will be numerous
There is movement among the
society bellies to have weekly re-
ceptlons. This will be an advance
step within the social circle. There
will probably be a new minister
at the 18th Street Presbyterian
church in a few weeks. / am in>
clined to believe that social prelu>
dice could be eliminated if the
colored people would discard col
or prejudice There is more dis
elimination among the colored |
people than there ls among the |
white against the colored. There
is certain class of colored peo-
pie who endeavors to be white,
which is very disgusting. And
yet they appeal to the white peo-
pie TO cease discriminating.
TIE example should be first
practiced by ourselves, than we
can ask others that which we don't
tolerate. 20 far as | am concern
ed, social equality doesn't bother
my mind. People who crave for it
are fools or idiots. Until we learn
that color doesn't make a man,
the quicker the race will be bene.
fitted. The Freedman's hospital
needs change IN its head. This
man who is now 10 charge of the
institution is of no benefit to the
colored people If he is colored
man, why is it that he is allowed
to send his children to white
schools any more than other col

DELIGHTFUL Party.

Notwithstanding the terrible storm
that was raging outside Thursday night,
within the pleasant home of Miss Ethel
Hurst all presented q brilliant scene of
warmth. youth and beauty. Hiss Ethel's
friends TO the number of fourteen couple
had been Invited to JOIN her in an even
ing of amusement and enjoyment, and
not one was missing who had been in
Vited. The capacity of the hospitable
home alone limited the number, for
Miss Hurst's friends form
q group that no residence IN
Emporia would be large enough to con-
tain upon any given evening. This was
Miss Ethel's first party, and all who
were SO fortunate as to be present will
remember it with real pleasure. Moth
ing was wanted to make everyone well
come and happy, and the hours few
only too rapidly.
The fayorite parlor game, progressive
euchre. occupied q portion Of the even
ing. resulting IN the first prize being
awarded to Mr.. Dale Plumb, and the
second to Miss Anna Dale. The prizes
we're elegant and appropriate. Dancing
diYsrsIfied the pleasures Of the evening
and an elaborate spread satisfied "the
inner man."
Altogether the occasion was moe
delightful one, and our young peOpl'
win always remember Miss Ethel's frs
party. as one of the most pleasuEEbI
events IN the social life of EmpOris.
