BLAINE OR HARRISON. WHICH

The Plumed Knight of Maine is the
probable Repu blican presidential nomi-
nee. How do we know? By the signs
of the times, of course. Harrison is
not in it. 1t is not the Republican
leaders who are bringing out the
great secretary, but it is the masses of
the people from the great lakes to the
gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. The peoples choice is decidedly
Jim Blaine for president, a few party
bosses choice is Harrison. 1t is the
people who are forcing Blaine to make
the race, but it is the party schemers
who are endeavoring to rein him
back and let Harrison out under heavy
spurs with a loose rein. Perhaps il
would be easier to elect Harrison than
Blaine since less can be brought
against him politically. Again, Blaine
could do more on the stump for
the party ticket than he could posi-
bly, do if he were the presidential
nominee himself, while on the other
hand Harrison, with his pole on the
stump, compared with Jim Blaine's,
wouldn't begin to reach the persim-
mons. 1t is to be hoped that the two
famous leaders and their friends will
remember that "the peoples voice is
Gods voice" and that Jacob nor his
friends will not attempt to rob Esau of
his blessing

A TALENTED TEACH ER.

The races future is largely dependent
upon individual efforts, and none recog-
nize this more than the young. As q
general thing class legislation leaves .
trail of prejudice in its wake, or re-
awakens a half-buried sentiment Of
prejudice. Individual success is accom-
plished quietly without any great bur
rah, and before we are aware that sue
cess confronts us in all its fullness.
How different the result In every
case of individual success accomplished
by individual efforts, admiration is
challenged and even enemies are favor
. ably impressed and their prejudices
softened. A striking instance OF indl-
vidual efforts is to be found in the case
of Miss Hattie Hall, the only colored
teacher in the public schools of Column
bus, o. Miss Hall is young lady OF o
very susceptible and retentive mind
Susceptible of great learning and with
the power of retaining to remarkable
degree.

ACCUSED OF SHARP WORK.

A dispatch from Oklahoma City,
Ok, says that three Negroes named NJ.
ID. McCabe, formerly of Topeka, Kan,
George n. Perkins of Little Rock and
Sam Sharp of Oklahoma, are the en-
gineers of the Langston, Oklahoma
paradise" for colored people. The
special says that these three men are
reaping fortune by fleeing the I'M
suspectlng members of their race,
charging them 30 cents apiece for ad-
mission to the colony. 1t is said they
have divided the southern states into
three equal sections aud have already
secured 100000 signatures to their
membership rolls, making a clear prof
il of $250,OO0. When the colored
people reach Langston, Ok, instead of
finding a prosperous city of 10000
souls they find village of only few
houses.
1t is high time our people learned
enough to stay at home, at least. The
south is the paradise for the Negro and
always will be. There it never gets
too cold nor too warm for him. Here
On Oklahoma) it is always too cold
and seldom warm enough for him.
The writer at one time (ffteen years
ago. thought it proper and right foI
the Negro of sunny Dixie to come to
the far northwest, but today he would
advise those who need admonition to
remain in the Negroes coming paradise
the south land. The writer has
spent % years of his allotted three
score and ten in the south, therefore
he knows what he is talking about.
Judging from the tone of the Lang
ston City Herald, its publisher McCabe
and others, are pretty well inflated
with the philanIhropic spirit. If he Is,
it is all the better for him. The spirit
to help humanity is to be commended,
but the spirit to deceive humanity is
to be condemned and strangled. The
spirit to help, gives; the spirit to de-
ceive, receives. The dispatch says
$25O,000 have been received from those
poor, ignorant people of the south.
Is this true? If McCabe is expert
menting in Bellamyism or socialism
he ought to tell the people that they
might know just how many he needs
for fair and impartial experiment.
Or does be wish to move the whole
100000 of colored Americans to
Langston City?

To be professor in an institution of
learning is in all cases an honor, and
when that honor rests upon the shout
ders of man as young as Prof. A. E.
Clark, it is doubly greater. Prof. Clark
is a close student, being perfectly de-
voted to his chosen profession. He is
an Ohio boy and was educated at Will
berforce university, at which institu-
ton he was distinguished for his excel
lent scholarship. After finishing school
he went south, bell ing that the most

Miss Hall was educated in the public
schools of her native city, graduating
from the high school with an excellent
scholarship percentage. The schools of
/ Columbus are mixed, and have been for
years, but no colored lady has ever be-
| fore been able to break into the corps
of teachers, and young colored ladies
had despaired of ever becoming teach
ers in the schools there. Not so with
Miss Hall OF an indomitable will, and
possessed with the belief that merit
must eventually receive it's reward, she
was examined and received two-years'
certificate, her standing in scholarship
being high. 1t is rule, we understand,
with the school board of that city to
graduate their teachers, that is those
examined are placed upon the list of
eligibles in case of vacancies in the or
der of their standing. Hiss Hall, by
her marks, was well up to the front,
and the board found that they could not
well ignore her. She was appointed
and assigned to a prominent build
ing.
At first number of white parents
demonstrated, some withdrew their
children temporarily from the schools.
The papers were full of news regard
ing this advent of a colored teacher.
The pluclxy girl continued teaching and
by faithfulness in the discharge of her
duties her excellence in teaching uni
form kindness to pupils and her un-
questioned ability, completely disarm-
ed prejudiced critics and to-day she
stands the peer of any and is beloved
by her pupils, without regard to color.
She has now been teaching two years,
and her certificate expiring, she was
re-examined this summer She easily
passed, receiving a three years certifi-
cate this time, thus evidencing her pro-
gress
Mis- Hall is about % years of age, Of
pretty 1.-the form, possessing CHEEKY
and intelligent face that is at all times
attractive. She is bright vivacious
and entertaining, heightened by a WON
anly demeanor that marks her at once
as a young lady possessing more than
superficial knowledge. Success has not
turned her head, but on the contrary
has caused her to redouble her ener-
gies, increase her ambition. Miss Hall
is a bright exemplifcation of the old
axiom, success crowns efforts"

and the Congo states. The bill never
passed, but on the strength of its being
presented, company was started by a
set OF ignorant colored men and STYLED
the United States and Congo Steamship
and Navigation Co. This company did
thriving business through its agent,
Rev. Thomas Peake, in some of the
Southern states, until it was shown up
as fraud. 1t was a fake, but it seems
the fake has led to something tangible,
as we are advised that Rev. CASTOR is
now in Washington, accompanied by
Capt. John Murray and w. B. Lewis,
who represent the owners of an i'm
portant steamship line of Liverpool,
Eng, for the purpose of establishing a
line of steamers to ply between some
southern port and port of Liberia and
Congo Free State. Rev. CASTOR is the
authorized agent of the Liberian Emil
grafton Co. In his recent travels through
the south, he claims to have secured
fully 100000 signatures of colored
people who are willing to GO to Africa.
While we have high regard for Mr..
Gaston's prefix of Rev, yet we rather
doubt that he secured as many as o.
600, 900 names. We don't believe there
are 1000, 600 imbeciles in the south
Capt. Murray and Mr.. Lewis are large
ly interested in the development finan-
cially, of South Africa, and no doubt
would be willing to transport thousands
of our Afro Americans to this reputed
promised land

POMEROY'S DEMISE.

Ex-senator S. G. Pomeroy, Kansas
first Z. S, senator, died on August p
at his home, Worcester, Mass. The
senator leaves dark spot on the disk
of his sun that cannot be effaced-not
by eternity itself-that of bribery.
John j. ingalls, was elected in 1875
to supercede senator S. c. Pomeroy in
the y. s. senate when he (Pomeroy)
had been charged with bribery by
State Senator York from Montgomery
county. AT this juncture, with all
against Pomeroy, John j. ingalls,
trots into the joint convention and
gobbles up the unanimous vote of the
convention and goes to the senate of
