At the meeting this evening the two
sections should put up candidates well
worthy OF support. The ball has now
been st rolling and we believe that there
are enough people in the central portion
OF the city who are animated by d spirit
of fair play sufficiently to turn in and help
elect men from the unrepreseuted sections
Of the city. There is no reason why a
public body like the school board should
be a close corporation; there is no reason
why it should be composed entirely of
men from one class there Is no reason
why membership should be con-
fined to a few blocks in the
heart of the city aud all other sections to-
tally ignored. Give all classes and all
sections a fair show on the school board.
If the work of the board Is less unani-
o aud more the result Of compromise
perhaps so much the better Tor the tax
payers Of the district. The concession
asked for is a small one. 1t Is so small in
fact that there should be no necessity for
the asking. We hope the people Of the
north side will see the complete justice of
the request aud should the nominations
made this evening command their respect
aud confidence that they will turn in aud
give their assistance 10 winning a worthy
victory.

RACE PREJUDICE.

Whoever believes thatrac prejudice is con-
fined to the breasts of Southerners falls into a
very serious error. 1t will be recollected that
Edward Atkinson in a recent letter TO the
Atlanta Constitution charged the Southern
people with complete ignorance of the char
acter of the negro an ignorance which had
led them 10 insist upon a strict recognition Of
the lines of division between the two races.
SO far as can be inferred from the columns of
the Northern press. similar ignorance if
insistance upon precisely the same relations
between the white and colored populations is
an evidence of prevails in the
North, the section TO which Mr. Atkinson
belongs.
Some months ago negro was appointed a
member of the police force of Brooklyn
Wesley G. Oyerton by name, who was shown
to be man of q sober and respectable charac-
ter. The appointment was the cause Of imme-
date bad feeling. which was very much in
creased when the new policeman was ordered
to share the dormitory which was occupied by
the white policemen. Violent opposition to
this arrangement WAS expressed which, how
ever, made no impression upon the authori-
ties who had the matter in charge.
For six months the colored policeman has
slept in the dormitory of his white associates
on the force, but to such unbending ostracism
has he been exposed that at his earnest re-
quest he has now been granted permission to
sleep at his own homo as the only means of
escaping from the disagreeable and trying
conditions of his situation.
1t is q significant fact also that he has been
removed from his beat, which lay in a part of
town occupied exclusively by whites, and has
been ordered TO beat which is confined to
what is known as the negro quarter of Brook
lyn.
There is but one inference 10 be drawn from
all this. and that is that human nature is
pretty we'll the same in Brooklyn that it is in
New Orleans. Atlanta and Richmond That
there should have been an occurrence like
the one to which we have been referring in
the city of Brooklyn, the home of Beecher.
the site of a statue to the great abolitionist
on which negro figure occupies conspic-
uous place, only confirms us in the belief that
in spite of Mr.. Atkinson, as much Ignorance
prevails in the Northern States on this subject
as he represented as prevailing in the South
ern States.

APPEAL OF SOLDIERS HOME.

Major Norman V. Randolph, president Of
the board Of visitors of Lee Camp Soldiers
Home, has issued. as we pointed out editori-
ally yesterday, circular letter in which a
very strong appeal Is made to the public for
donations to enlarge the present hospital
facilities which are inadequate for the pur-
pose for which they are designed.
The circular letter calls attention to the fact
that the State appropriation is insufficient to
meet the demands upon it, and that unless
the great body of our citizens come TO the as
sistance of the institution it will suffer most
seriously in the ends for which it was estab-
lished
This is a condition Of affairs which should
at once arouse the attention Of all our people,
whether they have felt any special interest in
the Soldiers Home before or not. The
prosperity of this admirable institution should
be a concern of every person in the COM
munity, for it is far more than is usually the
case. a public charity of the very noblest
order
Not only the ordinary impulses of kindness
and benevolence should prompt all to give it
the assistance which it 80 much needs, but
also every motive OF patriotism. 1t is an
unique institution. inasmuch rs it Is devoted
to easing the declining years ofmen who, after
fighting bravely for their country, have been
left in their old age without adequate private
means TO secure the repose TO which they are
entitled by their personal sacrifices as soldiers
| as we'll as on account Of their advanced years
1t is only question Of time for all the Con-
federate veterans Of this State, who are now
alive and in want. TO pass away, leaving such
al institution as the Soldiers Home without
| any reason for its existence. In the interval
during which these veterans will survive, it is
the duty of every true Virginian to aid in sup
porting this institution to the extent which its
needs demand.
1t is particularly incumbent upon the peo-
pie OF this city to extend assistance, for the
chief blame in public opinion will rest upon
them if the Soldiers Home shall fall into de-
cay because its funds are totally inadequate
for carrying out the objects for which it was
established. Let the circular letter, there
fore receive generous response, not only on
account of the services of the disabled vet
Grams, but also in consideration Of the good
name Of Richmond.

THE MONITOR FLEET.

1t seems to us that there is great deal Of
unnecessary talk about the removal of the
monitor feet from Richmond These ships
were brought here from City Point after
mature elaboration by the Navy Depart
ment. and il stands to reason that
this is much more desirable station for
them, in every way. than at that
comparatively isolated point. The ease
of communication with Richmond is far
more advantageous 10 the Government in its
purchase OF supplies than the comparatively
difficult access to Petersburg from City Point.
and Of course, the officers and men can enioy
far more comforts here than at any other
locality on the river. There is no more diff
Guilty in keeping the channel properly dredged
here than elsewhere, and very little exertion
and work can certainly prevent any accumu-
lation of mud sufficient TO prove injurious to
the bottoms Of the vessels.
As far as Richmond is concerned. Il is car
tainly great advantage to her to be a naval
station OF this sort. for, according to the
authority OF Paymaster Lowell at least s4o..
900 is annually expended in this city. This
as well as the discredit which would be placed
on our harbor should the monitors be removed
on account of Lack Of water. would make the

GREETED.
The only just complaint which Commander
Graham has TO make about his present locs-
ton is, that Objectionable characters visit tho
spot, and not only jeer at and inenlt the Of
fcers and men. but 20 in bathing in full view
of themselves and their families This is a
cause of complaint which would be as likely
at City Point as here. and the trouble Is that
the present location Of the feet is outside the
jurisdiction of the city authorities. and
therefore cannot be prevented by them,
while the county authorities seem also
to be equally powerless in the mat
ter. It would be a good thing for Rich
mond IL harbor for these vessels near the
city could be obtained. Then proper police
surveillance could be kept over all objec-
tionable people, and the cause of these COM
plants would be removed.
Ii is understood that the Mayor and certain
members Of the City Council will visit tho
monitors early next week to hold conference
with the officers Of the feet on this subject.
IL ia 10 he hoped that some understanding
NAV be arrived at and that the way may be
made clear for a removal of the vessels within
the city's jurisdiction. 1t should be remem-
bered that this as a naval station would not
be for few years but for as long a period
as there is navy yard at Norfolk.
1t is absolutely necessary for vessels
to lie at anchor in fresh water
so as to keep their bottoms clear Of barnacles
and free from the FACTION Of the salt water, and
therefore some point on James river must be
selected for that purpose. Richmond pos
sesses so many advantages over any other
locality that no effort should be left untrled
to make it the permanent station for Govern
ment vessels in ordinary" which may be-
come necessary to be repaired or oyerhauled
at the Norfolk maynard. Doubtless, how
ever, the committee to visit the monitors will
give all these subjects due consideration.
