HAVE MERCY,

Mr.. II. G. Smith, a negro DEM
ocrat, was in the city last week.
Brother Smith is our old friend,
but his politics caused some to
treat him unpleasantly. We
mean some cranks. Brother Smith
has right to treat and be treated
as gentleman until he proves
himself otherwise. While here
be visited our Office, he talked of
old school days, went to Govern
or Taylor and got a pardon for
the little Dunaway girl, colored,
who had been sent to the peneten-
tiary from jackson, and is trying
to get established state normal
for the colored people. We have
no use for his politics, but respect
the good he does and the interest
he feels in his race. MIR. Smith
is former student Of Roger Will
Jams University, which he visited
while here. lie is also graduate
from the law department of How
ard, and is filling an important
position at Washington.
Baptist Headlight.
We know Mr.. Smith to be a
gentleman, although a colored
democrat, and upon this issue We
differed. Aside from his democ-
racy, he is the negroes friend, and
while he affiliated with the demo-
cratic party, he certainly must be
respected for the interest he takes
in his people. We don't believe
In crying down negro democrats,
we want to see the incoming ad-
miDistration show the same lien
cy towards negro democrats as
the democratic administration
showed towards negro republicans,
which was very little and espec-
tally in the South. There are some
negro democrats who have made
themselves obnoxious and redicu
Lus. There are some negro re-
publicans more bitter against the
race than II. G. Smith ever dared
to be. "Let US have mercy"

country.
Mr.. COOKS PROTEST.
country.

Superintendent Cook, sent sensi'
BILE letter to the board of school
trustees on last Tuesday which
meets the approval of the entire
colored population. Mr.. Cook stat
ed the truth when he said that Prof.
Browne, was instigated in finding
out the irregularities in our High
school and while it is true, that he
was most malicously treated, by
the trustees who instigated the
the whole business, Prof. Browne,
has the unanimous support of the
people in this matter. Mr.. Cooks
letter has been referred to commit
tee, and before any attempt will be
made to abolish the Office of super
intendeut, we hope to have reog-
anation of the school board. Again
Mr.. Ross Fish, is very anxious to
get control of our school, but he
will be a disappointed man. under
the next administration, and since
he dOs'ent seem to know his place
he will be given to understand that
he is not the commissioners but a
subordinate and a very small one
at that.

1T MUST STOP.

We must expect to have under
the next administration recogna-
tion of our public schools and such
men on our school board that will
look out for the interest of the peo-
pie. We have had several compe-
tent young lady graduates from
our Normal school, but the places to
which they should have been ap-
pointed were filled by others who
have had no interest in our schools,
and they have been such persons
who dOn'nt own one cents worth of
realestate in the city. Children
whose parents pay taxes to sup
port our District government,
have been ignored. We have in
mind now two excellent young la
dies, Misses Alice V. Shorter, and
Julia Wormley. Miss Shorter, is
a normal school graduate, and
Miss Wormley has received train
Ing elsewhere which has qualified
her to fill any position in our High
or Normal school. Instead of
appointing such, and other normal
school graduates, one or two of our
trustees saw fit to send to Win
chester Virginia, North Carolina,
and we can't tell where, for per.
sons who have nomore qualitica-
tion then these young ladies, and
when the people make complaint it
is an insult to these men who have
been clothed with a little brief au-
thority. The daughter TO Mr.. Worm
ley, should to-day be one of our
Normal or High school teachers as
we'll as Miss Shorter, who stood
high among other graduates who
have been ignored for others who
have no business in our schools,
who have been placed there on &C.
count of favoritism. The time is
near when the people will have a
school board that will see to our
competent boys and girls.

HARRISON'S INAUGURAL
TION.

The democrats of this city are
anxious 20 take charge of Harri-
sons Inauguration, or rather they
ask that it be non-partisan. We
congratulate the Republican Nat
ional League for taking the inia
tory steps to prevent these quasi
republicans and democrats from
advertising their business which
they would do had the League not
prevented them. Of course
the new chairman will con-
fer with every republican Or
ganization in the city, to make
the inauguration ceremonies the
grandest in the history of inaug-
ural ceremonies. Everybody can
not be satisfied; everybody can
not lead, some one must be at the
head and that somebody must be
a man Of influence, who has the
respect of the entire country.
We know of no man more fitted
for that position than A. 7. Briton.
