man of decent habits the Atlanta Postmaster
did right In appointing him as he did, and he
ought to be sustained by every Republican
paper I'm the country. The fact of his being
colored was no excuse for any white clerk re
signing, while the absurd talk of the tbest
families OF fGeorgia keeping away from the
post office is the merest fiapdoodle. The Off
spring of many of these hest families are
nurtured at the breasts.of these same Negroes.
And yet respectable young mea and wo.
men, natives of the United States, full of am
bition, anxious to succeed in life, and well
equipped by education for clerkships, are TO
be debarred for the reason that some Southern
damEel objects TO coming in contact with a
well-betRved, we'll educated, respectful, COM
petent and decent clerk because of his color.
III ere was time when these same objections
were raised by people who rode in horse cars
in this city. No one objects now. If those who
tide on the elevated roads and horse cars will
reflect a moment will they not admit that
they come in contact with as many offensive
white men as colored mea? And is 1t not
likewise a fact that man should be Judged
on his own individual merits, and not by the
color of his skin?
1.-THE colored race is progressing, and the
screams OF the 'niggah-hatingN Sourhern press
over such incidents as the appointment of q
young Negro who had distanced his white
competitors In a civil-Servlce examination
will only serve to call attention TO the change
that has taken place in the condition OF the
colored race since the war;"

VIM. WALKER,

By the death of Rev. VIM. j.
Walker, pastor of Shiloh Baptist
church, the community looses a
valuable man and the church an
able and a christian minister. His
death was no surprize to those
who knew his condition and by
his death we hope the church will
be able to select another who has
the faculty to keep the chucrh
in as healthy condition as it is
now.
Who will be called TO fill his
place? We have in our mind
one Of the ablest and most distin-
guished young men in this coun-
try. Rev w. Bishop johnson. d.
D. DR.. johnson is a young man
OF fine oratorical powers and ex-
cellent ability. He has it in his
power, at this time, to do the
church a lot Of good in its present
financial stuggle. Having resign,
ed as pastor OF the Second Baptist
church and having incurred the
displeasure of a minority of the
trustee board, because he refused
to lend them the money belonging
to the church, is just the man to
be pastor Of Shiloh Baptist church.
We hope that the members will
carefully consider these sugges-
lions.

A JUDICIAL FARCE.

The American people have been
subjected to many things, but, we
do not think that there is any
thing to beat the arrest of John
L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain for
prize-fighting in the state of Miss
issippi. The arrest was a sham
and the trial a mockery; the sen
tence of the court and Sullivan's
subsequent release on bail will be
handed down to ages as the
greatest acts of buffooney that ev-
er were exhibited by our South
ern courts.
When we consider the hundreds
nay. thousands of inndeent Ne
groes that have been killed in the
South subsequent to reconstruction
on account of politics, Governor
Lowery and the entire southern
oligarchy ought to put on masks
and plead blindness to Negro
murder and assassination.
The life of the Negro in the
South is as valuless as his vote;
and his income are but glittering
generalities and his occupation
like that of Othelo's, gone! We
can only appeal to the sympathet-
ic North and ask in the name ot
God is there not rest for the Negro.
Force us not to commit a
wrong; weak as we are in mum.
bers, the race is not to the swift
nor the battle to the strong, but
he that indureth to "the
end". The courts In certain
portions of the South protect the
colored man with as much force
as the wolf would lamb. or a
hungry snake sleeping bird. Il
Governor Lowry wants to do the
country service, we would sug'
gest that he organize a vlgilan
committee and see that honest col
ored men are permitted to enjoy
their civil and political rights.
Until this is done the Negrc
need not expect prize fighting t.
be harmed by the Southern
courts. The recent Sullivan am
Kilrain arrest is a judicial farce

OUR SCHOOLS.

The committee of school trus-
tees, consisting of Messrs. Darling
ton, Gregory and others, called
on the District Commissioners last
week and presented a document
which stated their reasons for ig>
noring normal school graduates
for outsiders. Their statement does
differ any from their first and we
desire to inform the Commisslon-
ers that the board of school trus-
tees can just as well as not pro-
mote teachers from other grades
to the schools or grades they claim
require outside teachers. This
statement is too thin on its face.
There are plenty of worthy female
teachers in our schools fully COM
petent to fill any school in the gift
of the trustees. 1t is very strange
that the trustees should take SO
much interest in the health of
teachers who are appointed to the
Hillsdale and Good Hope schools
Such interest has recently mani.
tested itself.
When ladies have asked the
trustees of the county to put then
in the city and appoint ladies who
were teachers in the city and who
lived in Hillsdale and Good Hope
to be placed there, these guardian
of our child rem had some excuse
Let US haw change! Men wht

The question Of appoin ing
graduates of our Normal school
to positions in the colored pubic
schools is being seriously COILS d.
cred by colored tax payers of this
District. Imported talent is not
wanted when we have just as g cd
among Us.
There seems to be a ring ih the
school Board composed of few
of the coIored trustees who are
determined to pace all their rela-
tives' friends and acquaintance
upon the tax payers of the District
for support. Why should not
these brilliantly educated paupers
remain in their own States and
teach school or do anything else
that their abilities fit them fer?

man of whom any people should
be proud, and a man who SHOULD
be encouraged by our people. He
has drawn plans for some of the
handsomest and most imposing
houses in this country. At the
corner of Is and L sreets n. W, he
has erected two fine residences
which will add greatly in beauti-
tying that corner. He also sug-
gested to the members Of the
John Wesley church to utilize a
snm of money that would be ad-
vantageous to the church. His
suggestions were accepted and put
into practical operation. The
beautiful church on Connecticut
ave n, W. and The parsonage adj
joining the church are the designs
of Mr., Brent In tne rear ofthe
church there are five we'll con-
stucted brick houses that bring
a rental of 500 per month, the
parsonage pays for itself and for
the present, the pastor will rent it
to enable the church to pay lis in
debtedness. All of this is the
work and designs of Mr.. Brent.

our midst who has any push and
perseverance let US encourage
him The BEE will do all II can
to push this young man.

THE "AGE AS A REFORMER

The pertinacity with which Mr..
Fortunes New York Age pursues
Rev. w. B. Derrick, would seem
20 indicate that there's something
ranking in it's mugwumpiam
breast. 1t was DIR. Derrick who
bought out Mr.. Parker's interest
in The Globe some years ago, and
foreclosed the mortgage, which at
that time decorated the personnel
of Mr.. Fortunes journalistic what
is it? The BEE wants to see fair
play throughout this controversy,
and it will object to the interpola-
ton ofany extraneous matter dur.
ing the controversy between st.
Daniel who has loaned himself to
the Age for the express purpose of
routing one of the best men in
the Methodist Church. For the
present, we will not venture to
say the things we could say bear
ing upon this case and many 9TH
ers, but we will say this, that DIR.
Derrick Is nobody's fool.
The Age is posing as the judge
and jury in this affair because it,
of all others of DR.. Derrick's enc.
mics, desires to see him disgraced
and humiliated. 1t is protuse in
its instructions to the Methodist
bishops and laity as to how they
shall proceed and whom they
"naust" select to try the case.
"A boy put his hand into a
pitcher of filberts. He grasped
as many as he could possibly hold,
but when he endeavored to pull
out his hand he was prevented
from doing SO by the neck of the
pitcher"
The Age having precipitated this
unpleasant scandal upon the Meth
odist Church and the Negro race,
should, with becoming grace and
dignity, leave it in the hands of
DIR. Derrick's peers for settlement
without further suggestion or in
uendo. The fact that it is seeking
to heap dlscredit and approbium
upon that gentleman is clearly ap-
parent to those whose memory
runs back few years 1t is a
swift witness against DIR. Derrick,
and would hardly be judged a
competent one in a court ofjustice.

lerce and vindictiveness. 1t has
accomplished its purpose. i. e., it

result of the contest between the

are hidden behind the terrible
charges against the moral char
acter of this BAD MAN (?) W. B.

A LAWN MOWER.
lt Gets A Young Man in Seriou,
Trouble.

Trouble.
Officer Lennox had an exciting ex-
perience yesterday afternoon, which he
describes as being slots of fun" AS he
came out OF his residence, on East Fourth
street, after supper, be met q young man
in the yard who had new lawn mower,
which he wanted to sell. The officer
took good look at the man and at the
mower, and decided that by rare good
luck he had captured thief with the
booty still in his possession. He exam
ined the mower and asked the price. 1t
was So, although the tool was worth
several times that amount. The reason
why it was so cheap was that the store
was sending out men and selling large
numbers of these mowers. The officer
said that tie mower was not
quite large enough for him, and
that he would accompany the
young man to this store, wherever it was,
and exchange it for larger one. The
thief demurred, but without avail, and
the two started down town together.
The store was said to be on Commercial
street, but when they reached there the
Young man started off on run. The of
aicer pursued, yelling "Stop him stop
him!" Mr.. Lennox had to stop to look
out for his revolver, which flew out of
his pocket, so the thief got good start.
At the corner of Requena and Los Ange-
les, when the man had run three blocks,
he was overtaken and captured by officer
Del Vale. He was taken to the station
and booked for petit larceny, under the
name of Dan Mullins.
