In 1890 or 1881 the board of cufators of
the Missouri State university passed res

That the generosity OF the board Is not
taken advantage Of, says st. Louis

the Improvement Of highways. The
ground of this indifference is simply ig-

progress has been made in the way
Of street and other public improve

verted into a park set with orna'

marked and admirable Improvement.

SO far have kept my hands off in
this Bruce controversy which all your
readers / am sure are acquainted with.
Recorder Bruce has been charged with
discrimination against his race and also
with having removed, as I understand
it, several Colored attaches of the Re-
corders Office. Whether these charges
have been justified remains for the rea-
7der~t to discover by persual of both sides
of the question, Feeling some what
bitter at the words of a correspondent,
some penny liner who attempted to vim
dictate Mr.. Bruce by charging the Col
ored correspondents Of fhis city with in
competency. I took occasion to refer to
him in tolerably fair English last week.
What I said then was merited by the ut
.terances of said correspondents. What
is said now is merited by careful per-
usal of the question and actual investi.
cation by myself. - .... ..... ..~
