The Washington Press OF which
NJ. E. w. Fox is editor, has
made wonderful progress within
the short period it has been es'
tablished. This is owing to the
acquisition of Rev. G. W: Fitz-
hugh on the editorial staff of the
Press. This gentleman is known
throughout the country as a jour,
nalist of ability and influence snd
Mr.. Fox acted very wisely when
he made this selection. The
paper is now read by almost the
enIire colored population and we
predict that it is becoming to
be a necessity among the colored
people. The appointment OF Rev.

THE IMPENDING CRISES OF
THE SOUTH,
MIGRATION AND DISTRIBUTION IN
THE WEST THE ONLY SOLUTION OF
THE RACE PROBLEM.

VIEWS OF A C0L0RED EDITOR.
To Benjamin Harrison, President
Elect:
SIR. AS your election to the
Presidency has inspired millions
of Negroes in the South with such
hopes of protection and better
enjoyment of their political rights
as yon will be constitutionalIy
powerless to fulfil, it may be we'll
to dispel these hopes, to some ex-
tent, by a dispassionate view Of
the situation. The interest of all
concerned will be best conserved
by considering the condition OF
the race as it is and not as | would
have it.
The South is approaching q
period when all the antagonistic
forces of caste will reach climax,
at which the political supremacy
of the black or white race must be
decided. This tendency is the
natural result of emancipation and
the negroes right of suffrage. An
experience of twenty five years
shows that instead of assimilating
in social and political interests,
the two races are drifting every
year further apart from each other
religiously, socially, and political
ly-the Negroes as the allies of
the Republican North, and the
whites as the rightful heirs of the
old Southern slave oligarchy.
A free Negro ballot and q fair
count, supplimented by tho white
Republican vote of the South,
would place about nine cotton
States permanently in the Repub.
lican column; and the offices in
these states would be filled by
negroes and such whites as they
saw fit to elect, It seems almost
useless to say that this could only
be maintained by the ENABLED
hand" of martial law. This ex-
pertinent failed during the recon
struction period, when President
Grant tried to prop up the Pack
ard Government in Louisiana
with Federal bayonets. The next
Congress may punish the South
by reducing Its representation in
Congress- as provided by the 14ta
Amendment; or provide to hold
future elections for Congressman

to the embarrassing position OF Prof
Gregory at the meeting on last Wednes-
day night, we are more inclined to be-
lIeve that the District Commissioners
misrepresented the whole matter to him
after they found out that the colored peo-
pie were going TO condemn their action
in the removal of the Wormley Building.
The people have not only all interest in the
schools but they have u profound appre-
citation for the man in whose honor the
school was named, James Worm'ey. He
WAS an honor to the race; he had the re-
spect of all classes of citizens and that
school is the only monum-nt that now
exists to perpetuate his memory. The
Commissioners are tyrannical; they want
TO deprive the colored people of every
right and privilege to which they are just
ly entitled. The report of the COMMITTEES
provided for the sppo' 'ntment of eleven
citizens to supervise the action of tile
school board. This should hive been
done long ago. This committee will also
see hereafter what trustees WILL be ap-
pointed and all OF .er matters pertaining
10 the welfare of the people.
We hope that Chairman Cook will
see the necessity OF enlarglng
the committee and place more OF our rep
resentative men on it. Let us have say
in tie formation of our district govern
ment; let us have a voice in the appoint
ment of men to office who are to have
control OF affairs i'm This city as we'll rs

men on the committee who are not afraid
to demand equal justice and protection.

OUR SCHOOLS.

At last the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia have decided te
take some steps to better the con-
dition of our schools which the
BEE has time and again suggested.
We have always said the colored
people should not allow q few
white men on the school board to
dictate az to their wants In school
matters and other things pertain
tins to their interests. Tax Col.
Rector Cook has taken a manly
stand in defense of the rights and
liberties of the people and he will
find out that the people will always
be with him as soon as he shows
o disposition to defend their in
terests. We have often criticised
Mr.. Cook on account of his luke
warmness in matters In which be
should have taken the lead.
There ia no man We would not have
sooner supported had he not been so re-
clused. But now he has taken the right
step; lac is now inclined TO act with the
people and when this is manifested be-
yond all doubt he will receive the undi-
yided support Of his people. In regard
