any party to profit by its wrongs? Mr..

therefrom will be felt by the young men

Apropos of politics I may say that a
very new and far reaching scheme is in
process of incubation with hopes of a
successful Matching by the time of the
National Convention. It is to the effect
that all Colored delegates to the Con
vention league themselves together and
vote as a unit for one candidate and to
cast this vote solidly only on promise,
that, in the event of the election of the
candidate voted for, Colored man be
given first class ministership and a
place in the Cabinet. 1t may be we'll
meant scheme but it can hardly be a
success. Another idea as to the Con-
vention: When Colored delegates are
elected in the Southern States, let them
be photographed in a group in the sew
eral States and let these photographs be
sent on to the National Committee with
the names of the delegates properly
noted on the photographs as we'll as a
separate list. This will do away with a
good deal OF INSCRIPTIONS bargain and
sale business and prevent deception and
fraud. very frequently it happens that
men proporting to be regularly elected
delegates palm themselves off on candi-
dates and accept bribes. Thus adding
color to the reports that always circulate
regarding the auction business in the
Colored votes at every national conven-
ton.
Howard University has added school
of Typewriting and Stenography to its
course of intellectual training. The Law
School will soon receive the books pro-
vlded for by Senator Edmond's resolu-
ton giving copy of all law books in
the Law Library of Congress to the Uni
versity. There has also been an appro-
priation of SIG 900 made with which to,
employ instructors. h i ss.-sF.F.
The Shiloh Baptist Church Of this city
is in the midst Of q fight that will ter
inmate not in the welfare of the church
work. Since the death ofRev. W.. Wal
ker, the church has been without a pas:
tor. Rev. Scott, the proprietor of the
Boston Book store, this city, has been
filling the pulpit. He has neglected his
business to attend to the duties incum.
bent, voluntarily, on him and a more
competent or conscientious man can not
be found. At a recent meeting q num-
Der ofthe members desired to elect him
as pastor, to which few objected.
Quite an angry dispute arose and Rev.
Stott was forced through personal dig
nifty and respect to leave the meeting.
The dispute has been carried to the dali
ly papers and matters that were proper
ly the secrets of the church have been
made public gossip. Rev. Scott will be
INDICATED and his gentlemanly bearing
that makes him 80 respected will pre-
vail as against the actions of some en-
vious members and the church must
look to him as it's defender and presery-
er.
