MRS. CARRIE $. ALsroN.

The committee appointed by the First
Baptist Sunday School, Of Charlotte, N. c.,
November %, 1888, to take suitable notice
of the death of Mrs. Carrie S. Aston, which
sad event occurred at her home, in Cottage
City, Mass, November 8, 1888, recommend
to the school the adoption bya rising vote,
the following resolutions:
That it is but a just tribute to the MEM
ory Of the departed, to say that in regret
ting her removal from us that we mourn
for one who was in every way worthy Of
our respect and regard, and that we bow
in humble submission to the will of our
Heavenly Father who docth all things well.
That during her stay in this city she
fully identified herself with our church,
and was an Enthusiastic worker in the Sun
day school, and thereby won the hearts Of
many. We believe our lamented sister
has been transferred by the Great Head Of
the church to higher sphere of work and
usefulness.
That we will try to initiate her virtues
and cherish the hope of meeting her in the
Heaven.
That we sincerely condole with the
family of the deceased, on the dispensation
with which it has pleased the devine prov
idence TO afflict them and commend them
for consolation to Him who orders all
things for the best, and whose chastisments
are meant in mercy.
That this heart felt testimonial Of our
sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to the
family of our departed friend, by the sec
rotary of this meeting, and also furnish
copies for publication to the CHRALorTE
MESSENGER.

REV. MILES FOR THE SEMINARY.

To the Messenger:
DEAR SIR-The question of education is
now the absorbing topic of the members Of
Zion Church. The education of the masses
without regard to sex is what is desired by
all thinking men and women. But the
best means to use to reach the desired end
is the question at which they differ.
There are some who think mixed schools
are the best to develop higher social at
tainments; while others think the sex
should be educated separately, and some
how belong to the line of those who be-
lieve in separate schools. The fact that
other denominations are being built up to
the pulling down Of Zion is one reason.
When we look at the many intelligent
young ladies turned out of the female
seminaries, who we're once strong members
OF Zion, now uniting with some other
church, should awake an interest in US to
do something to save this talent for the
use Of Zion. Weneed them. Besides this
there are many other reasons for the estab-
fishing Of a female seminary for lions
connection, but rs there seems to be more
objection to the seminary on the grounds
Of its feasibility than otherwise. There
seems to be no need to endeavor to prove
its need, but to show It's practicability.
It is an old adage, "none know what
they can do till they try" l have OBJ
served this one thing among many Of our
people; they think they are more INDECENT
than they really are. They commenced
this cry when they had right to-after
the emancipation when they were turned
loose on the cold charities Of the world, to
either sink or swim, without q dollar.
Then they had right to stretch forth
their hand for help and cry poverty. But
since that time God has greatly blessed US
as race, and thousands of acres of land
are now in possession Of the colored man,
and his savings can be counted by the mill
lion Of dollars, and year after year we are
going forward. One great reason our con-
nectional support IS 50 weak is that we
continue TO cry 1--WE are not able. This
infection usually begins in the pulpit, and
as Il is contagious it quickly spreads
through the membership. Now what we
want 10 do Is to ny 81 can" and I'm

THE SUPPRESSED VOTE.

III referring TO the suppress
ion Of the colored vote in the
South in our last issue, we did
not give the data upon which
must rest the fact that this
section by one means or other,
votes are kept out of the, ballot
box when it is necessary to
ensure a different result from
that desired.
Since our last issue we have
been enabled to secure figures
showing the vote cast in every
state in the country, and one
can see at a glance what we
affirmed to be not only true but
so strikingly so as to warrant
the irresistible conclusion that
it is so because Of a we'll under
stood purpose.
Delaware stands next to
Nevada, the most rotten pocket
borough of the country. There
were polled less than thirty
thousand votes in the aggregate
an average Of 5000 to an
electoral vote. Oregon with
the same number of electoral
votes casts 10000 votes or
20, 900 an elector. Rhode Island
shows a small vote about 10000
an elector, but this is result of
a constitutional provision de-
priving there of vote by a
property qualification. Elec-
tions are fairly conducted in the
border states Of Virginia, West
Virginia and Tennessee as COM
pared with the Gulf and Cotton
States and the results show a
larger vote. The average for
these states is a little over 25,-
900 votes cast for each elector.
Georgia which has a population
nearly equal to that of Michigan
and Wisconsin polls $4,000 an
average of $4,000 nearly. On
the, contrary Michigan polls 49,
900 an average of 10000, and
Wisconsin $4,000 votes an av-
erage Of $1,000. Mississippi
polls $4,000 and Kansas 327,-
900 and yet they have the same
number of electoral votes. In
Mississippi 1900 voters have
the same power as $1,000 in
Kansas. Louisiana polls II4,oo
and California 248,o 900 more than
twice the number; the former
I4,5 500 to the latter's 3I,oIo and
yet the latter have no more
weight in determining the presi-
dency than one half the number
in the Pelican State. South
Carolina shows 10000 votes for
nine electors and New Jersey
| 3o3, 900 votes for the same num-
Der of the electoral college-one
voter in the former state having
nearly voting force Of four votes
in the free state Of New Jersey.
This matter should be remedied
and by an election law that
could be enforced.-Peopk's I'D

MORE CIVIL SERVICE.

The President has extended
the civil service regulations to
the railway mail service. Here
after when a new appointment
is to be made the General SUI
perintendent will have to go to
the list of those who have pass
ed a civil service examination
to get a person to fill a vacancy
or take a new place. There are
about 5000 employees in the
service, and in the South nearly
every Republican has been re-
moved, and now in the last
hours of Mr.. Cleveland's strug-
giles he attempts to have his
partisans shielded under the
next administration by civil
service rule.
We have had too little respect
for this civil service law to learn
of its magnitude. If it is the
right of one President to say
what class of officeholders snail
be protected, then it will BE- the
right of another to regulate to
suit himself. A Republican adj
ministration with a Republican
Congress will not submit to any
such smuggling as that. Why
should they allow Mr.. Cleveland
to fill all the places with his
friends by turning out compe-
tent officials and then say these
are protected by civil service
and must not be interfered with.
They must stay here till they
die. Let a Republican Congress
abolish the much abused law,
and let the new President set
aside all rules and orders that
keep Democrats in Office.
If Mr.. Harrison wants to prac-
tice civil service let him try it
in the North. We don't want
any Of it in the South. We want
to do the Democrats just as they
did US Turn them out and fill
their places with men of the Re-
publican party.

DANCY FALSE AS USUAL.

We do not object to a contro-
versy with a person who regards
honor and truth, but we spurn a
man who always jumps behind
some one else after throwing his
dirt. When a man can't get out
of a thing by truth, honor would
suggest it is better to remain
quiet.
Mr.. Dancy charges US with
making "uncalled for attacks on
many of lions ministers and fol-
lowers. We did no such thing.
He charges us with criticising
the whole Central Conference
and Zion church. Mr.. Dancy
knows there is not word Of
truth in what he says. We were
particular to name the parties
we blamed and criticised, in these
words:
"Those who could not see the
feasibility were: Prof. S. G.
Atkins, teacher at Livingstone
College; Rev. Prof. w. H. Goler,
teacher at Livingstone College;
]. c. Dancy, Esq, editor at Liv-
ingstone College, and Rev. w.
B. Henderson, student at Liv-
ingstone College. The gentle
men would naturally oppose any
thing that looks like lessening
their number at Livingstone. 1t
is their right to do So"
Mr.. Dancy's object here is as
it has always been, to prejudice
lions ministers against THE
MESSENGER, its editor and the
female seminary.
Let him fight the issue on
manly principles. He must think
his readers all very weak minded
to compare our article to Cleve-
lands message. Why, some
great men said Cleveland's mes
sage was great State paper.
We think we are fighting for a
great and worthy cause and we
stand like all others, who lose in
the first round. When the lead
ers Of the question to divide the
North Carolina Conference fail
ed, did they give up' When
they failed to carry the presid-
ing elder system at first, did
they give up No. Neither
will the advocates of a female
seminary give up the fight,
Brother Dancy to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
Knowing the intent Of the last /
article in The Star we admit it \
is with great difficulty we refrain /
from paying Mr.. Dancy some |
compliments. We have as much
respect for Zion connection and |
her ministers and do as much for |
them as Mr.. Dancy does, and if
the records of our church books |
don't show it we will give up.
But the female seminary is what
we want now. We would re-
specially ask persons favoring |
the enterprise or such as see the
feasibility Of it, to pay no atten-
ton to selfish opposition. Mr..
Dancy boasts Of showing the
Central Conference the way to
vote in the matter, and while we
would not reflect upon the Con-
ference, we think, il it thought |
and acted for itself independent
Of such blatherskie and paid less
attention to wind and gas. more
good would be done.
