and made a short speech, praisirg
the unusually good order of the
meeting and stating his intention
to make the parade the biggest
success yet. He did not intend,
he said, to allow a single drunken
man to participate, even if he bad
to turn him over to the police.
After having selected a mar
shaI the meeting then proceeded
to find out wbe her or not it
wanted any parade at all.
William Ii. Barker moved that
instead of having a parade that
they engage a large church and
have public speaking suitable to
the occasion. He also suggested
that they charge an admission fee
and donate the proceeds to some
colored charitable institution in
the District. The proposition,
however, met with little favor,
and was finally tabled. The mo-
tion to have street parade was
then agreed to. On motion of
Mr.. w. A. Barker it was decided
that the Bee Publishing Co., be
employed to do all the printing
for the Emancipation, and that
all notices he published in the BEE.
On motion IF MIR. Chase, it was
decided that all districts and con-
soiiIated districts furnish their
own music for the celebration.
On motion of Mr.. w. H Jackson,
it was decided that each district,
society and benevolent organic l.
ion be requested 10 contribute two
dollars to the finance committee
to defray expenses.
Addresses were made by
Messrs. R G. Powell, J. T.
Washington, r. NJ Dorsey,
Ralph Wormley and others, who
said that the convention was one
of the most orderly that ever
assembled aud for that reason
alone there should be a street
parade. The convention adjourn

ENDORSED.

The Emancipation Convention
at the Capital City Guard Armory
ON last Wednesday night was one
of the largest and most quietly
conducted conventions that ever
assembled i'll this city.
At 8 o'clock the chairman of
the Executive Committee, Mr..
Charles II. Marshall, called the
convention to order aud on motion
of Mr.. W. II. Brown, Mr.. Mar
shall was elected temporary
chairman and Mr.. w. Calvin
Chase, was elected secretary, BY
acclamation. A committee of nine
on credentials was appointed who
reported 125 delegates present.
Afterwhich a permanent organi.
zation was perfected by electiug
Mr.. Mashall, chairman and Mr..
Chase secretary. At this juncture
Mr.. Chase offered the following
resolution:
"Resolued, That we, the coIored
citizens, in mass meeting assem-
bled, condemn the selection of the
Mary Hall school building for
colored children, and respectfully
request the Commissioners to Sc
lect some other for an Industrial
schaol, or favcrbly cons der DR..
Fraucis's resolution requesting
central industrial school, irrespect-
i've of color"
Mr.. w. II. Barker made an ell
oquent and logical address in
favor of the resolution and con-
cluded by saying that he hoped
that it would be adopted. After
several speeches in favor of the
resolution, J. Ii. Gitchrist took
the floor to speak against it. He
was opposed to it, he said, because
he thought the nuisances COM
planned against ought to be re-
moved from the vicinity of the
building, instead of the building
from the nuisance around il. The
meeting, however, was against
him. Somebody made call for
the previous question while Gil
christ had the floor aud the ques-
ton was put and Gilchrist sum-
mariiy sat upon.

adopted finally with only two
dissenting voices.

the business-like manner In which
all those who came (as / did to hear
and be benefitted) entered upon
the evenings exercises everything
that was done was done decently
and in order; done quickly and
quietly, from the collection of the
surplus coin in the pockets of the
immense congregation, to the SER

the benediction.
The sermon Gas are all sermons
by this eminent divine), was a reve-
lation, an Intellectual feast rich to

reason, logic and facts of the accu-
racy of which there was no room or
chance for doubt. / experienced
strange sensation when the last
word had been said and the closing
hymn sung on seeing the pale fac

ital rations and like the Arabs Of
the desert quietly steal away to
their respective places Of abode.
In the we'll regulated church the
members who have any soul or
conscience know their duty and
they know enough to perform it

the occasion referred to [ could but
admire the systematic, orderly and
sensible plan adopted by this par
ticular congregation for expediting
the evenings busines the most i'm

very excellent sermon, was the

es in Washington.
/ think all fair minded people
will agree with me that the present
system for raising money in some
of colored church is both demoral-
izing and in bad taste. A reform
is necessary in this direction and
the best leaders to bring it about
are the clergymen who encourage
the old system, without reference
to the effect it produces so long as
the object ia attained.

EMANCIPATION DAY.

The convention on last Wednes-
day evening held for the purpose
OF perfectiug arrangements for the
10Th anniversary of the Emanci-
patton of Slaves in the District of
Columbia, needs to be. congratulate
ed for its good order and the
election of Mr.. j. w. Branson of
South Washington, as Chief
Marshal. Every thing went off
nicely and out of the 125 delegates
present, all seemed to be of one
opinion. Every man counciIed
harmony and success for the COM
ing celebration, and the editor of
this paper was highly compliment
ed by being elected secretary of
the Emancipation by acclimstion
with but one desenting vote
which was afterwards withdrawn.
That vote was Mr.. w. III. Barker's
friend of the editors. who o.
casionlly likes to be different from
other people when bis MUD is a
little mixed. Notwithstanding
friend Barker made a good 81 eech
in support of the resolution offered
by Mr.. Chase, which favored the
resolution of DIR. Francis, relative
to industrial schools. 1t is also
hoped that each district, society
and club organization will comply
with MIR. Jackson's motion aud
make the 26th anniversary the
grandest that has ever been he'd
in this city.

Thursday evening to a large and
appreciative audience, on the Race

were very much entertained by at

dispassioned manner the history OF
the various races, and the spirit
of the dominant ones, and why DOM

Of his time to the black and mixed
race Of the south. He was pro-
found, argumentive, classical,
pathetic and witty Dy turns. The
essence of his whole address was
more education for the blacks and
poor whites of the southernstates.
He expressed an answering and
invulnerable faith in the ciyiliza-
ton Of the Christian religion and
that it would ultimately exault the
black American to political,
religious and social equality with
other citizens of the United States.
He avoided partisan politics, in

As republicans we cannot well

FULTON'S SUPPRESSED BOOK,
''wIIY PRIESTS SHOULD WE'D"

Rev. DR.. Flu tons ''Why Priests Should
Wed'' is destined to become the most
celebrated book of these times. When
the old and highly esteemed publishing
house of Rand Avery Company of Boston
decided that it would not print the book,
on the ground that its contents We're SO
obscene as To be unfit for its female COM
positors and proof-readers to set the type
or read the proofs, it was generally sup
posed that DIR. Fulton would give up its
publication. But his friends came forward
and said that he should not be crushed.
that his work should not be stopped, and
that his book should be printed. He was
advised TO allow its pages to be modified
by the substitution of awfully suggestive
plates Tor Those iacts which were supposed
TO be too obscene, and thereby gain all
the strength OF his Uri .Inal book without
the risk OF violating the laws for the sup
preston OF immoral and obscene litera-
ture. But aside from its much disputed
obscenity, ''Why Priests Should We'd" is
truly marvellous book. Even the 'oldest
printer" will be amazed at its peculiar get
up, for no such work has ever been made
before. 1t has queer, lack borders, with
the indicative insignia; il has awful, black
edges; striking illustrations; gaudy covers
in cloth, Illuminated in black, white, and
red, with terrible designs. At its price
OF SI.5o a copy it is, as books are nowa-
days, maiyellously cheap book. The
manner of its publication, through Prof.
A. A. Woodbridge of Boston, The mana-
gel OF "Fulton's Crusade" has been the
most enterprisin2 Venture ever known.
And, moreover, its contents, were the
BOOK made i'm the co Lmonest form, and
had it been printed in the quieLest man
ner possible, would have attracted world
wide attention, for it is brlmful of state
ments which, if true, should arouse every
American 10 the need OF some inslantane
Gus action, and which, il untrue, should
condemn DIR. Fulton as one of the worst
men who ever wore the robes of clergy
man. But Can DIR. Fulton be mistaked ?
Can he be u teringand printing falsehoo Is !?
Ii would seem as though he must know of
the things about which he writes and talks
so fr ely. He has had career OF nearly
forty years as clergyman aud through
out his whole lifetime he has always been
esteemed for his fearless denunciations of
wrongs and vices. He has record which
can be equalled by but few eleIgymen now
living, and wherever tried he has never
been found wanting. He has gone forth
from his family, hi, parish, and his
friends to do what he believes 20 be his
specially ordained work, and in spite OF
the efforts TO crush his work aud to sup
press his b ok, he seems likely to main
tain himself nobiy before all the world,
and TO secure for his book circulation
never before heard Of in the annals of
boos-making.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

interest of the colored people to

els resolutions will pass and that
the people will do al in their
power to persuade the Commits

recommendation. We are in favor
of placing all of our schools under
the supenntendency of Mr.. Powell
with an assistant and by 90 doing
the colored schools will have a
man who will interest himself in
their welfare.
1t Commissioner Webb wants
the colored schools to succeed,
they must be placed under the
superintendency OF one man.
Mr.. Cook, personally, is gen.
tleman a. d man who has no
prejudices, but We believe that if
our colored schools were put
under the superintendency of Mr..
Powell, with colored assistant
they would he operated upon the
same basis as cur white schools
are. Mr.. PowelI's report shows
that the white schools are making
great advancement in Industrial
education, while our colored
schools are fast degenerating and
making no advancement whatev-
er, SO far as industrial training is
concerned. The exhibits of the
white industrial schools show fine
leather, plush aud velvet pocket
books and everything useful and
beneficial, aud which are evid enc
es OF what progress the white
schools are making, while on the
other hand, our colored industrial
departments present sickly, dirty

Taught by the blizzard 60 respect the
occasionally tempestnous west, the New
York Tribune now enhghteas it's readers
after the fashion:
"New Yorkers will probably be SUR
prised TO be told that large part OF tho
east he's worse climate than Dakota.
The mean annual temperature in Dakota,
derived from observations during fifteen
years, was Al b; in Minnesota during one
year 1t was 3S. i, and in New Hampshire
&c 5. In Dakota the mean average for
the three winter months during long
period OF years was Il g., The average
temperature for the ak months Begin
ming with October and ending with
March. during fifteen years past, has
been 21.S. Much less snow falls in Da.
kosa on the average than in New York
Last winter there was little moro than
half as much as in Vermont, and there
| seems to be some disposition to complain
that there is hardly enough for sleigh
riding. In 1886 Dakota had 62 cloudy
days to 153 in this state, 126 clear days
to rs that we enjoyed, and 175 fair days
to l35 for us. The average annual death.
rate is only one in 1866. while the average
FOR the whole United States is nearly
three times as great"
The Tribune meekly concludes:
eff Dakota will send along her pro-
visions and old clothes we will accept
them, and meekly put them where they
will do the most good"
