suffrage, has aroused the indigna.
tion of the colored females.
VIEWS THOUGHT TO BE WEAK.
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In
your issue of the 18th inst, letter pur-
porting to be Mr.. Douglass views of the
colored women as suffragists, are, to say
the least, weak.
Do not all reforms begin with mini
mum? Who knows this better than Mr..
Douglass? Cannot that number be found
in the city of Washington, to take part
in this one of the greatest reforms of the
nineteenth century?
The response is yes. The thinking and
intelligent women are ready and willing
to give their time and talent to strength
en- any cause that has for its object the
elevation of women. And they stand
ready to aid the suffrage movement when
it can be done without discrimination.

CoLoRED WOMEN SURPRISED.
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
There appeared in your issue of the 18th
inst, an article headed "Mr. Douglass
Surprise" beg short space in your
columns TO express the surprise and in-
dlgnation felt by Intelligent colored WON
Ell on reading the statements made by
Mr.. Doug lass in his communication to
the leaders of the woman suffrage move
ment. IL is cot my purpose to attempt
to disprOve any OF these statements, be-
cause feel in this particular case it is
better to throw the burden Of proof on
the other side. Perhaps Mr.. Douglass
would not object to informing the public
through Mrs. Douglass Tor any other med
ium of communication he may prefer) in
what particular he finds colered women
SO lacking for the woman suffrage move
ment. Is 1t moral or educational defic-
iency? Or is it both?
IhOpe il may not be true, as has often
been asserted Of Mr.. Douglass, that of
the colored race tn general, and of the
colored women in particular, he holds
two opinions. A public one, IN which
he extols her virtues, her capacities. her
possibilities; and q private one to which
he gives expression only in the preseuce
of his white friends, and in which ne de-
plores her vices, her incapacities, and
expresses the belief that she is incapable
of rising above mere mediocrity.
But be this as it may, enter nay strong
est protest against such Misrepresentation
as those made by Mr.. Douglass in his
communication to the leaders Of the
woman suffrage movement. And / re-
gard all persons making such misrepre-
sentasions. however high they may be
held in public esteem, as so many mill
stones hung about the necks of the color
ed people to drag them dowu.

Chicago still clings tensciously to first
place in the pennant race. The team Is,
undoubtedly, playing in way that means
victory if it can only be kept up. Daring
the week Arson and his men have played,
if any thing, q trifis stronger than at any
time during the season. Philadelphia IS
getting down to good work and has stepped
into fifth place. The Phillies will keep
the best Of people guessing. The Washing
tons, during the week have surprised every
body, themselves included. They not only
defeated the Pittsburghs twice, but marked
their appearance in New York, by
defeating the Giants. Pittsburgh will
stay there or get lower. Detroit has
proven that it is not the club it
was last year and Indianapolis has given
proof of its increased strength. Alto
gether it seems harder to predict the win
ner now than ever. So tar Chicago has
done the best playing, but Boston has only
played one game at home-thst Of yestes-
day. Following is the standing Of the
clubs mp to Saturday.

The furnace at Ohphant and the coke

Work il pushed vigorously in all the

IN THE PRIZE RING.

It appears that Paddy Ryan did not meet
Donner in the ring. as was reported, and
consequently he was not knocked ont by
him in thrice or any other number Of
rounds. Paddy must be Civil Service
reformer, for he has been given u place in
the United States branch Mint at San Fran
cisco.
If Peter Nolan is sensible he will lose no
time in getting himself into tip-tOp con-
dition for his forthcoming match with
Mike Cleary. Mike is anxious to redeem
himself when he meets Peter, and nod
ought to be as good as q wink to blind
horse.
The latest English arrival, Frank Muir
ply, may be good one, but he hos not
struck terror to the hearts of either Havlin
OF Weir, and both are anxious to try con
illusions with him. He wants to fight the
old orthodox way, while theirlbackers pre-
fer that Quesnsburry rules govern, and 80
they are apart for the time being.
Billy Muldoon says that he believes
Billy Myers, Of Streaton, is the daddy of
all the American light weights, an opinion
that none of the Eastern men of his class
seem anxious to practically discredit.
1t is reported that the new swell Boston
Athletic Club has made Jake Kilrain an
offer to become its instructor in spar
ring" and as the place will be very de-
sirable and Iemunerative one it is not un-
likely that he will accept it. If he does
his duties as mentor of Boston's pugilisti-
cally inclined blue bloods will probably
prevent his entering into any match to
fight for a long time to come.
A couple of months ago it was amour
ced that Patsy Cardiff was about to marry
an estimable young lady of Minneapolis,
and that in Difference to her natural wishes
he would retro from the prize-ring and
place and the honeymoon has hardly had
time to wans before Patsy is out in a
challenge to his old rival and antagonist,
Pat Killep.
Richard X. Fox received the following
dispatch from Harry Maynard, San Fran
cisco, Friday: Tom Meadows, the light
weight champion of Australia, has arrived
in this city from Sydney, n. 5. W. He is
under the management Of Harry Maynard,
who offers to hack the Australian against
any man in America at 1873 pounds for
81, 900 side and the lightweight cham
piouship. Tom Meadows is the light
weight champion OF Australia, having won
the title from Jack Hall, who refused to
defend it. McAuliffe, Daily, Myers and
balance of the light-weights will now have
an opportunity to arrange match.
Another international prize fight was ar
ranged Friday. The battle, which is TO
take in this country, will be the most i'm
portant that has been pulled off" for
many years. The pugilists who are to con-
test for the honor of champion feather
weight of the world, are Jack Havlin, the
undefeated Boston hoy, and Frank Muir
ply, of Birmingham, England, champion
of Great Britain. Both men have fought
many desperate battles, and their records
are excellent.
