WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
We commend the above as coming
from gentleman who has the courage
OF his convictions. When he says
''his race is the human race" he occu-
pies plank broad enough for all to
stand upon. The Freedman's Hos
pital seems to be conducted In such a
manner that all who come are treated
irrespective of color. This is as it
should be, truly American.

THERE are certain localities IN the
county of Washington. D. c I, where it
would bs conducive to the best inter-
terest of all the people, if the trustees
OF schools refused to be me1dled with
ky the people in their appointments of
teachers. People who are governed by
their prejudices, personal feeling and
spite, are not the kind to be needed by
those having our school matters in
charge. Nothing can be more damag-
ing to the interest of our schools, than
to open the door Of complaint to this,
that or the other ignoramus, who imag-
ines he has a grievance. which when
sifted, turns out to be foollshness.

the lecture Is to assist the Douglass

their distinguished name-sake to lee.

that it will be a success. The city

the Associations, and the Society bids
fair to do much good.

Hon. Frederick Douglas in Arkansa.

Hon. Frederick Douglas in Arkansas.
From Little Rock, Ark, Dispatch, Feb, 9th,
1889.
Hon. Frederick Douglas delivered one
OF his able lectures at the Capital thea
tire last Tuesday night, Subject "Self
Made Men" the house was crowded to
its utmost with white and black. Upon
the stage were ten prominent gentle
men. His remarks were of such a
character that interested the most
learned Of the audience, and at the
close of his lecture the stage was
mounted by many who intended to form
acquaintance with the distinguished
orator. Mr.. Douglas will visit the
city Of Pine Bluff and Hot Springs
of our state before returning North.
Speaking of our state he appears
TO have formed a very favera-
ble opinion of it. but cites us
TO a murder that was commit
ted ABOUT 40 years ago in our legislature
hall as stigma to the fair name of our
State to-day, and that the assassination
Of Hon. j. M. Clayton was held to be q
political crime outside of our State,
and that if the assassins were not
hunted down and caught, the law
meted out to them to the fullest extent
which he doubted of being done very
much, 1t will repel from us the best
class of citizens from other states who
might desire to come to 1t. Mr..
Douglas presents live corresponding
fgure of the lithOgraDh. one circulated
around the world. The only objection
he met in Little Rock that attracted
his attention was the discrimination in
public inns.
