A TIDAL WAVE.

We are just now able to take breath,
so greatly were We astounded and
oyerjoyed by the recent election.
All republicans hoped to elect Mr.
Harrison, but thought tia vain hope
None expected such an overwhelming
victory. 1t was the greatest tidal
wave that has ever swept over this
country. Thirty-eight electoral votes
to spare with thousands majority on
the popular vote. New York was not
needed to elected Mr.. Harrison for the
solid south was broken just on the
border. West Virginia crosses the line
by giving her electoral vote to Mr..
Harrison as we'll as electing repub-
lican Governor and solid delegation
to congress. Little Delaware puts
herself in the republican column to
stay. She will send two republicans
to the United States Senate to succeed
the Bayards and the Saulburys, which
is a new thing in the history of that
State.
Even the old border State, Mary
land, divides herself in half, and sends
three republicans and three democrats
to Congress, and reduces her majority
wonderfully. Connecticut and New
Jersey are the only Northern States
properly in the democratic column.
The executive, the judicial and the
legislative branches are all republican.
The Nation is safe and all its interests.
Kansas beats all records by giving
10000 republican majority. That
tells whether Senator J. J. Ingalls, is
dead or alive.
Again the House Of Representa-
tives will have a Negro member.
Hon. II. P. Cheatham, Of the I'd
North Carolina district, and Hon. j.
NJ. Langston, Of the 4th Virginia dis
trict, will occupy seats there, and
they have the ability to do credit TO
themselves and honor TO the race.

A FEMALE SEMINARY,

u We do not believe in co-education
of the sexes after they attain certain
age We therefore, advocate cstab-
fishing a female seminary for the three
Carolina conferences in Zion Methodist
church. Monroe, Wadesboro or Fay
etteville would be a good and central
point for such an institution.
1t is necessary to establish such an
institution for many reasons. 1t is
better and safer for young men and
young women to attend separate
schools. 1t is better for the church
because there are so many Methodists
who will not send their daughters to
mixed schools and the association
while in school so often changes and
fixes their religious faith for life. An
evidence of this may be seen in the
fact that majority of the students of
Scotia Seminary at times are Methodist.
But they too often become the wives
of Presbyterian ministers. Thus the
church is sapped of its very life-our
best educated women. Our own
preachers and other leading men send
their daughters and sisters to Scotia
AKA female schools because they believe
in separate schools.
1t would not only benefit Zion by
keeping our girls in our own schools,
but other young ladies near the school
would attend for convenience and
many who are now without church
preference would learn of the workings
Of our denomination. 1t would
strengthen us also, to divide our
schools in order that our men may
continue their efforts to increase the
numbers in our schools. Now that
Livingstone is getting up toward 300,
some may think that does credit to
this powerful connection, and thus
grow careless about encouraging others
to enter our school; whence if all the
females are taken away from Living
stone and sent to Wadesboro, we will
all work to bring Livingstone up to
800 again and also to bring Wades-
boro up to 800; hence we will be
working for 900 where we now work
for 300.
Why sec! BiddIe and Scotia are one
separated institution under One board
Of directors. They have now enrolled
over 400. If it was mixed school
they would not have larger number
than Scotia alone has. Take Shaw

CHURCH SCHOOLS.

A church, like race of people,
should not be content till its institu-
tions sand general conditions are as near
equal the best as is reasonable to hope
for. One church should not depend
upon another any more than one man
on another. Taking this view of the
matter, nearly all the different de-
nominations in this State have church
schools. The Baptists have Shaw
University at Raleigh the Presby-
terians, Biddle University at Char
lotte for boys, and Scotia Seminary
for girls, at Concord; the Episco-
palians, ST. Augustine at Raleigh; the
NJ. E. Church, Bennett at Green's
boro; the A. NJ. E. church have
theirs at Kittrell Zion church, Liv-
ingstone College at Salisbury.
Only the Presbyterians have separate
schools for male and female, and for
that reason alone nearly as many girls
attend Scotia as all the other schools
combined. They are not all Presby-
terrain girls, but many of them become
Presbyterians afterwards. Many
Methodist parents send their daughters
to Scotia because they do not believe in
the co-educdtion Of the sexes. There
is a difference of opinion on this
question, and while we may not
discuss it here, we do not hesitate to
say that it is fact that many Of our
best men think that way and many
Of our best girls are getting away
from us because we will not see the
facts as they are.
The one fact that the white people
with their great advantages of home
training and race pride, have but few
mixed high schools, is evidence to us
that it is not we'll for us in the face of
our undisciplined mixed society. As
race we need all the safeguards we
can possibly have thrown around us.
Separate schools are not only safer,
but better and cheaper. A girl has
more time to study and less to spend
in writing notes and in socials, when
she is at a separate school. 1t does not
take so much to dress a girl nor young
man at separate school. We will
not discuss the matter here, but ask
Zion ministers to prepare the way for
female seminary in this State.

University, one of the oldest of our
institutions in the State, with
tremendous church at its back to
furnish students, one Of the richest
societies in the country to furnish
money-in central location, the
capital Of the State-fine and commo-
dious buildings, and they scarcely
run over 300 male and female. Here
are the Presbyterians with one of the
weakest churches in the State, with
over 400, more than any other church
school in the State among our people.
With the North Carolina, the Cen
trail North Carolina and the South
Carolina conferences united in one
school district with headquarters, say
at the point named above, we can
establish a female seminary that in
few years will rival Scotia and will do
more to build up the race and the
church than any one thing that can
be done by the church in the present
General Conference. Is there a
member of this sitting Conference
who has privately expressed his pre-
ference for separate schools, with the
moral courage to introduce and stand
by measure looking to the estab-
fishing female seminary?
1t will not cripple or injure the
work at Salisbury but will strengthen
it. And as these three conferences
pay about $4,000 general fund they
can easily support such a school; the
urgent necessity for which is brought
about by the many schools of other
churches We must compete in char
acter and in kind, and we must have
a femal seminary. The only question
now is: when and where? Who
will lead in the matter?

NO OFFICE FOR NEGROES.


Our democratic neighbor is kind
enough to name the persons to fill the
different federal offices around here
under the next administration, and
says there will be no offices for Ne
groes. If the editor of that paper
will open his eyes about the 9Th
morning of next March and watch a
few days, we think he will learn Of q
few Negroes being appointed to lucra-
tive positions under Mr.. Harrison
The editor has forgotten the posi-
ton taken by his party press just
few weeks ago in regard to the Negro
vote He says now the republicans
don't want the Negro vote, but wants
white men. The editor is mistaken
in this, as he is in almost everything
else. The republicans carried New
York by about 1900 majority, and
the Negro vote of New York is about
$4,000, and they voted the republic
can ticket almost solidly. What would
the party have done there without the
Negro vote? The Negro votes the
republican ticket everywhere when he
votes at all. The Negro vote is
larger than the republican majority in
Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and
Illinois. The republican party is not
unmindful Of these facts. The repub-
lican party knows that the Negro is
loyal to the old party, and has no
fears of being cast aside by that party.
Why should intelligent and worthy
colored men in the South be set aside
and men appointed to office who are
opposed to the republican party? 1t
is true the republican party does want
white men in the South, and we con-
tend that those who have joined the
party should be encouraged by giving
them place if they want it, but the
Negro should not and will not be
turned aside by Mr.. Harrison's ad-
ministration. The Negro of the North
and West was the balance of power
that elected Mr.. Harrison and re-
publican Congress.
The Negro and the republicans are
not going to fight over the places
We are getting along pretty well just
now in the bright hope of having
federal aid to educate our children in
the South, and when that is done the
Negro will be able to take care of
himself without the aid OF the demo-
cratic or republican party. We are
not afraid of the republican party
neglecting us. We expect more than
we had before, because we are better
prepared to hold office. We are going
to hold Office here in Charlotte and
throughout the South, as well as the
entire nation. Yes, the Negro will
hold office

The Farmer Keedeth All.

NJ lord rides through his palace gate.
My lady sweeps along in state,
The sage thinks long on many thing,
And the maiden muses. on marrying;

The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without cen fear;
But fall to each whate'er befall,
The farmer feeds them all.

Priest preacheth pure the Holy Word,
Dame Alice worketh broidery well,

The tap-wife sells her foaming beer.

And courtiers ruffie, strut and shine,
While pages bring the Gascon wine:
But fall to each whate'er befall.
The farmer feeds them all.
Man builds his castles far and high,
Wherever river runneth by.
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,
Great arches. monuments and towers,
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work Is done, bet here or there,
And well man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, where'er befall.
The farmer he must feed them all.

When the air brake was first invented

TO force the brakes mp against the

brakes are held against the wheels by
