: GOLD SNAP KEEPS UP.
Another Frigid Wave Started from
Blizzard Land.


Blizzard Land.
The temperature here yesterday morning
fell to 81, being a drop of 81 in sixteen
hours. The highest temperature yesterday
was 4j'. The cold snap extended as far
south as Cedar Keys, where freezing
weather was reported yesterday morning
The temperature this morning will be as
low or lower than yesterday, and
the weather during the day viii moderate
slightly. There appeared in the extreme
cold wave with high pressure area which
has caused a rapid fall in temperature In
the West and Northwest If this wave
moves across the country without being dis
sipated or effected by low area of pressure
it will reach Savannah by Sunday. The
weather throughout the country yesterday
was cold and clear, except for light SHOWS
in the lower lake region. Fair weather will
continue here to-day and tomorrow.

Reserved seats for Colored People.

The Mendelsshon Quintette Concerts to-
morrow afternoon and night will probably
draw together more society and music peo-
pie, than has ever been seen in the Theatre
at one time. There are a great many res
pectable colored people in the city who are
capable Of ap recating good music. For
their convenience, and in order to exclude
the usual noisy element, the management
Of the concerts has placed reserved seats on
sale at Davis Bros. at Soc. This is new
move, and will doubtless be appreciated
The doors for the concert viii close at $50
sharp, and late arrivals will have to wait
until the conclusion of a number before they
can gain admittance

The Clyde line of steamers between
Charleston and Philadelphia will be with
drawn at the end of this month. The reason
assigned is that the line has been unprotit-
able. Looking only to the cutting off of di-
rect steamship trade with Philadelphia from
Charleston, the NelUS and Courier SAYS
that the withdrawal of the ships will Ger
tainly be TO that extent detriment to the
commercial interests of Charleston, and in
fact of Philadelphia. After the close of the
present month there will be but one steam
ship line North, that to New York, as it
will be remembered that the Baltimore line
was taken off year ago.

a theory, tits fact. Actual lib.
erty can never be realized by the
individual man save only as he is
himself possessed of that virtue and
intelligence by which we are "made
free indeed.n
Therefore it is that universal ed
ucation is indispensable to univer-
sal suffrage, and that without
knowledge there can be no power
to secure the practical exercise of
the rights and the benefit of the
privileges guaranteed by constitu-
tions and laws.
Taking up the responsibilities OF
the present and turning to the
hopes of the future permit me to en-
phasize the thought that the
emancipation of the slaves in the
District of Columbia and of the
whole country, of any color will
never be complete until intelligence
is made universal by means of
universal free public and common
school education.

SHERMAN, THE GREATEST
LIVING FINANCIER, HAS
THE CONFIDENCE OF
BUSINESS MEN,

If it can be said that any one
great quality more than any other
is required in a president for the
next term, it is said that he shall
be a great fiuancier-not for one
class, but for the benefit of all.
The history of nations is largely
that of war and finances. Fortu-
nately, with a conservative Pres
ident for the next term, the busi-
ness of the country will be safe from
war; the great question will be
finance-revenuea and currency.
The whole country recognizes the
necessity of the revision of our
revenue system.
President Cleveland, in his
annual message Of December 6,
said:
tsThe amount of money annually
exacted, through the operation of
present laws, from the industries
and necessities of the people large
ly exceeds the sum necessary TO
meet the expenses of the Govern
ment. On the 30th day Of
june, 1885, the excess ofreyenues

HE Is MISTAKEN
lFlorida southern Leader.

AT the recent Emanc patton
Celebration at Washington, Mr..
Douglass is reported as saying In
his speech that "never sipce eman-
cipation was the condition of the
negroes in the Soulh as bad as to-
day." Anybody who knows the
real condition of our people in the
South Knows this is not the
case, and Mr.. Douglass is Ia error.
The colored people of the South
are making marvellous progress in

all the material elements of man
hood and good citizenship. They
are everywhere becoming land
owners and substantial producers,
and although they are denied po-
liticaI and equal rights in some
Southern States, yet the Sou
thern whites do not refuse to
expend money to carry on public
schools to educate colored chill
dren. Mr.. Douglass does our
people here harm by his misrep-
resentation of their condition.

COLLECTOR COOK REMOV
ED.

The removal of Mr.. John +
Cook as collector of taxes for the
District of Columbia, was nc
surprise to the BEE, as it has been
expected for some time. That
Mr.. Cook was a good and honest
man, no one will deny; that be
was dismissed will be regretted,
but had he been asked to resi- gn
ten years ago, no one would have
excepted; that he has always beer
since he held the Office, personally
and individually for Cook
entirely isolated from the people.
selfish, cold and uucongenial. lhe
masses of the people do not regret
the retirement of this lite Officer
but feel a little chagrinned thai
he should be dismissed and no,
allowed to resign, while some
others think that he should have
had sense enough to resign
before he was dismissed, knowing
that he had no claim on the
democratic party. The BEE has
no tears to shed for man who
has been no good to bis people.
He was elected to the office by the
suffrages of the people at the time
when we had suffrage in the Dis
trict aud ever since he held the
office be has never raised his voice
in their behalf, nor has he bee"
one to contribute to fund for the
aid of the unfortunate. We are
for those who are for their people
and when one has been placed iD
a position to aid his people ana

reason alone we have no defense

The school board should certain
ly investigate the circumstances
connected with the case of Miss
Pinkney and see where the respon-
sibility lies and adopt some RENE
DIV to prevent such things in the
future. Miss Pinkney was a pupil
in the High school aid it is the
duty of the board of school trustees
to look into it. The lady has sent
two letters to DR.. @. B. Purvis sur
geon in charge Of the Freedman'S
Hospital and claims that a child
has been born and charges the
preacher with it. From what We
have been told, DIR. Purvis is not
inclined to believe the charge
against the minister and refuses to
act until the church investigates
him. On the other hand we have
been informed that the young med
icaI student is still a visitor at the
lady's house, Notwithstanding her
charges against the minister. This
in itself looks suspicious. The
BEE knows the minister to be an
honest an upright man and is not
inclined to do any one an injury.
Ifeither or both be guilty of what is
charged the public should know it.
Again it is said that when the min
lister called on DIR. Purvis for an
explanation he would not give him
any satisfaction, this has been de-
MED by a gentleman closely con-
nected with the hospital.

To the EIitor:
In my letter of two
weeks ago [ spoke of Progress, :"
and that as a fixed subject. but in
what way shall we progress? In
so tiaf and moral culture, in liter
ature, in arts and science, in
finance and politics, and in ali
mental and intellectual advance
ments of mankind?
And now as [ write it occurs to
me that some one may ask what
we women have to do with politics.
L will answer that our fathers.
brothers and husbands, are all IN
terested in politics, which natur
ally Interests Us. And we may
be OF some service to them if we
are acquainted with the circum-
tances, for in politics lies all our
bliss or woe; and thus it became
the greatest of all matters, hence a
decentralization in politics poisons
the whole atmosphere, and our
lives are endangered thereby, and
If we can assist in preserving those
morals We Will have achieved a
great progress Ifyou look at the
present state of things, do you not
think that a little setting to rig hts
Is necessary now? 1t has been
estimated that our women are in.
capable of doing as our white sis
ters, | would have this speaker
think before speaking, for such an
assertion is absurd, and without
foundation. Our women have not
had the chance TO cooperate with
the others. Look at the advan-
tages they have had over US, in f.
nance, In education, in freedom and
in everything that tends to pro
gress. | would also have you look
back, if you please, twenty-three
years, at US in our ignorant state,
and see to-day the growth of in
telIigence among US, and also you
will fnd us,filllng all the avenues
opening to US as do other women.
Look at the wonderful improve
ment in these years, since we have
been half way free, and ifso much
has already been done what will
we do when we are free indeed,
which is not far In the distance.
And | assure you that tkis and
other nations will learn that col
ored women are not inferior TO
other women, but are as ready to
aid IN uplifting humanity in all
branches of good. Ali we need is
the opportunity, and when our
sisters get to the end of their iour.
