The House committee on agriculture to-.
day re.opsned the hearing on the Conger
lard compound bill and the Batterwo
anti-option bill. both of which have been re-
ported TO the House with favorable recon.
mendst!on. For the first named bill A.
Graves representing che colored Georgia ag-
ricultural association and Pennoyer Jones
representing the coored cotton farmers and
planters OF Arkansas, both colored men,
made arguments against lis passage. To
pass this bill, the former asserted would be
the entering OF the wedge which, when driv.
en home, would separate the colored people
from the republican party. And this bill,
stripped of all guise, resolves itself into this
condition. The western hog against the

PRESIDENT HARRISON removed an ell
Gent white man from the place of recorder
of the general land Office in the Interior De-
partment and appointed negro preacher
named Townsend from Indiana in his stead,
in order to pay the negroes of Indiana for
voting for and therebysecuring him the elect
oral vote Of that State in 1888. Mr.. Noble. the
Secretary of the Interior Department, has just
dismissed one of Townsends subordinates
for detected crookedness, in which, in pub
lie statement, he says Townsend was impli
Gated and 'violatedthe rules that should have
controlled him." How, with this statement
Of Secretary Mobiles before him, President
Harrison can retain Townsend, is what no
body except himself can tell, unless 1t be
that before Adam was created, and before
Africa was raised from the bottom OF the
sea, Townsend was predestned to be record
er of the general land office at Washington,
and that his preordaiped term in that office
must be filled though the heavens fall.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that Con
pressman Kelly tells the people OF WASH
ipeton that a white school girl is as good as
o black one If she behaves herself, 1.-THE white
people referred to who live near the negro
school house in that city called the Miner
school, not only refuse to let their children
associate with the negro children OF that
school, but have actually petitioned the
school board to remove the school house to
a more suitable locality. To be sure, the
petition was not granted, for the school
board is composed of such men as MIR. Kelly.
Indeed, in their report thereon the board
say the assigned retson for the petition, the
atemeut that the school is colored school,
should be drowned down." But for all
that, the fact that the property owners in
the vicinity. irrespective of their political
sfiilistion or of their birthplace, petitioned
for the removal of the school, solely because
it is negro school, shows plainly though
that they do not agree with Congressman
Kelly.
