The Right to Hold Office.

The right to hold office in this coun-
try carries with it the right to hold
an Office if one can get it, and to aspire
to hold office is all honorable ambl-
ton, and it is pleasant to see the ca
pable and honest enrobed with official
dignity. 1t should be remem bered,
however, that office-getting and office
holding are not the ends Of human
eXistence.-EG.
This is the principle upon which
the republican party is founded, and
upon which it is destined to win, pro-
vided this fright to hold" office is not
restricted to part only Of this party.
Every citizen who is qualified has q
right to enjoy the privilege Of "office-
holding'' if he can be elected, regard
less of color, or previous conditions.
When the republican party restricts
this right to certain class Of its citi-
zens, it does SO to it's own detriment.
We should lose sight of such pre-
iudices and aim to elect the entire
ticket from "Alpha to Omega"

Over Four Thousand Children En-
rolled in the City Schools.

The enrolment in the Springfield
public schools up to Monday was as
follows: High school, 257; Central
school, $40; Phelps school, 356; Camp
bell school, AS; Baily school, 322;
Berry school, 352; Weaver school, 36l;
Rogers school, 334; Waddell school,
All; Lincoln school, 498; Second ward
colored school, 68; total, 4,O93.
According to superintendent Fair
banks report, the schools are very
much crowded, and the teachers have
no time to play. The enrollments
shows that there are now 566 pupils
attending the colored school, which
gives an average Of 80 to each teacher.
This is a good number to be seated
comfortably in any room at Lincoln
school, and it is also about as many
pupils as any one teacher Of that
building can handle and do justice
by: if the enrolment increases during
the wear, the question is: What VIII
the board do with them? Or, will
thew have them crowded into the
rooms ION top of each other, and
still expect the present corps Of teach
ers to furnish the necessary instruc-
ton? The principal Of Lincoln
schools tells US that even now more
teachers are needed, and, especially,
4: ~ooro baln naodad for room No. 8.
IF this demand had been made some
time ago, more room would have been
added and teachers provided for. The
fact of the matter is, parents are not
really interested in this matter ana
stand back in the distance "hlsslng'
some one else to push this matter In
stead OF coming up like men men ana
demanding justice.

Col. WADE is accused of voting to
increase the price of commodities :
by voting for the celebrated "Mckin-
ley tariff bill" This accusation is
very feeble when it is known that
this increase Of tariff" or "tax' ap-
plies principally to that class of "artl-
clesn and commodities which are
really ''luxuries' and are used prin-
cipally by the "rich," and not neces-
stiles that the poor and the common
laboring classes are compelled to
have. Besides the common laborers
can be benefited by "protective
tariff" that keeps out foreign goods
and competitive labor, that can be
had at home, giving employment to
Americans instead Of foreigners. This
"great question" of 'high tariff may
directly affect and interest the white
man who figures prominently in busl-
ness circles, but it does not materially
affect the negro, nor it should not
command his attention so earnestly
until he shall have attained more
eminent position among the "business
circleu than what he now has. And
hence, he cannot afford to "go back"
on his friends simyly because they
have placed "high taxi on those
"fine articles" that the rich want to
use, and at the same time the poor
are not benefited whatever by their
having them. The colored voters
must consider this matter and help
to re-elect the man who has proven
himself their friend.

at the court house a few weeks ago,
and also, the articles concerning Mr..
Smith, which have appeared in the
Democrat Of this city. We do not
hesitate to give this mean misrepre-
sentation the ellie" We have not
furnished a single line OH this matter

THERE is a misapprehension among

THERE is misrepresentation among
the people concerning the republican
candidate for coroner. Mr.. Ely Pax
son was defeated for the nomination
by colored man named White. This
was done simply to satisfy the colored
voters. OF course the republicans
don't intend to elect him.-Den1.
1t was the republicans that nomi-
mated "W hite," and it is certainly to
their interest to elect him. If there
are any republicans in Creme county
who think that they can afford to de-
feat him aud then expect the negroes
to support them or their friends, all
right. We say "Let 'er go Gal
lagher,n and we will be with you in
the future The negroes will vote the
republican ticket almost as unit;
and then for white republicans to de-
feat one of their men for the very
"tail end' office will certainly be
resented in the future. This is a
pointer.

MRS. STANTON's FAREWELL.
= roceedings OF the Opening Day Of the
ConventiOn-Mrs. Stanton Says That
In Less Than Ten Years Women VIII
Vote Everywhere-Other Speeches.

Today ID sminently woman's day at the
national capital The National American woman
suffrage association 10 in session here. For
~ last week the delegates have been arriving
IN this city from the four quarters Of the couu-
ny and today they began their annual meeting,
prepared to speak, resolve and demand Lin
coin music hall vas the place for holding the
Asstings and there was something very appro-
pirate In this, for 10 was in the old Lincoln hall
shas the different associations held their annual
nsetinss during many years.
Ths two associations, the American and the
National, united into one, held their FIRST meet
ing - . united body in the new ball this morn
ing, beginning . new era, perhaps. in q new
building. There was . large audience In
attendance, nlling the floor and first
q women, but there was q goodly scattering Of
the male sex as we'll, and they we're not the
least interested Of the participants at the
meeting either.
There were women from all parts Of the
country and in all professions of life. There
were doctors. lawyers, ministers and Newspaper
writer's, a. well as large numbers of others
whose sphere Of activity il not so broad perhaps
lying - it does in the home circles
of . nation. II was an earnest, enthusiastic
gathering Who thoroughly understand the sub
word uttered from the stage they
turned q re.dy ear. Upon the stage
was gathered an assemblage of the
Leading spirits in the movement. The boxes,
too, were filed, and everywhere throughout
the auditorium we're women whose names and
faces are familiar the country over for the part
they have played on the stage Of LIES action.

THEIR BIDS REJECTED.
Proposals for Building Two Gunb0ats
and Q Practice Ship Declined.

A letter was today sent to the Samuel L.
Moore Sons ship building company of
Elizabethport, N. J., from the Secretary Of the
Navy, rejecting their bids ON the proposed
two one thousand ton gunboats and
the eight hundred ton practice vessel
They were far below any other bidders, their
figures being as follows: For one gunbost
$2s5, 900, or s562,s7 for both; for the practice
vessel, s245,s2a The other bids we're: Bath
iron works, one gunboat. esq.,, 900; both, esq.,
600; Atlantic iron works, one guuboat, esq, 900.
WHY THE BIDS WERE REJECTED.
The letter recites the provision Of the acts
Of Cong ress authorizing the construction Of the
vessels, to the effect that every bidder shall
show to the satisfaction Of the SEQ
retary Of the Navy that within three
months from the date Of the contract he will be
possessed of the necessary plant for the per-
Torrance of the work in the United States.
The department having been informed that
the firm is not now possessed of such plant,
and there having been q failure on the part Of
the firm to show that they would be 50 pos
sessed within the specified time it was decided
that they were not competent bidders under
tho advertisement
Inclosed in the letter was the certified check
for sc, 900 deposited with the bid a. guaran-
tee Of performance in case of acceptance.
WHAT WILL BE DONE NOW?
twill now be for the Secretary to determine
whether he will accept one OF the remaining
bids or readvertise the vessels. The appro-
priation for the two gunboats il
300, 900, and for the practice vessel
S260. 600. The latter ship must, under any cir
cumstances, be resdvertised unless the depart
ment concludes to build her itself, for the
Moores were the only people willing to build
her. 1t is probable that the bid Of the Bath
iron works will be accepted.

How MIR. Jacob keObel Was Robbed by
Nice Young Man.

There was some excitement in the Bank of
Washington this morning. shortly before noon.
Mr.. Jacob Keobel, an elderly gentleman who
conducts grocery store at No. 1919 5th street
northwest, was in the bank. He had drawn
some money and was counting it, when
nicely dressed and polite young man
called his attention to two one-dollar
notes lying on the floor at his feet. The young
man tapped Mr.. Keobel ON the shoulder and
said: "You have dropped some Of your money,
SIR"
Mr.. Keobel stopped to pick up the two notes
and as he did SO the stranger quietly lifted a
portion of the pile Of notes on the counter and
as quietly walked out with his plumber.
Mr.. KeObel picked up the money that had
been dropped as a bait and again started to
count his cash. Bill after bill was turned over
and counted, but he could not make
but $50. The thief had been generous
and only taken half the pile. Mr.. Keobel mott
fed the bank officials. The detectives at police
headquarters were telephoned for, but it was
too late. The thief was of. A good descrip-
ton of the man was obtained and the police
have been notified to look out for him.

Mr.. ropLKr's ADDRESS,

Hon. VIM. Dudley Foulks Of Indiana, for
many years president of the American woman
suffrage association, was introduced to the
audience and delivered long and interesting
address.
In the course Of his remarks he said that
there was heavy punishment for interference
with man casting his vote. "Where the
principle Of power 10 substituted for the world
wide principal that all who are subject to gov
ernmeut should have q share In that govern
ment, serious wrong 10 committed and leads
70 many others. We notice wrongs
at q distance and shudder at cruelty
pracosed upon people In the other half Of the
world Lately We have been shocked az the
recital OF the horrible deeds practiced upon o
helpless woman in the Siberian miues. This
We understand and may cay appreciate. but

upon our wives and sisters We stand idly by and
