The Calcium Liob

William H. Johnson, editor and
proprietor of the above entitled pa
prer, published at Albany, New
York, has the following to say:
"We are in the Democratic fold and in
to stay. If we are admitted to her coun-
ellis, and we believe that we will be, we
shall support her decisions when reached
in conventions, reserving to curse yes the
Individual ch, ice and criticism of candi-
dates, until narty caucuses and the con-
Yrntions of the party shall decide the is
sue"
Those sentiments were uttered
BY a Negro. With the record and
history IF the Democratic party
from 1882 up to the present time be-
fore US, we pause with bated breath
and with astonishment to know
that Negro having self respect,
race pride, or professed intelligence
would espouse and advocate the
cause Of Democracy. Perhaps the
astute? editor is not q student OF
history, or is, Indifferent to the in.
terests, present and future, of ou1
race; or is actuated by mereinary
motives. Either Of these conditions
render him incapable Of being race
leader. We cannot, with any de
gree Of consistency, be true to oul
race, or to ourselves, d give aid
Tor countenance to the Democratic
party.

NEEDS OF THE RACE.

Tn my last article I began to relate
some of the needs of the race in the
| South, and now I desire to continue
the subject. I have but little time to
write hence my letters are short, and
only few Of my views are expressed
at time. 1t is my duty to work and
| the words that lift our benighted peO-
be placed before the public that we
achieve the desired result.
In my last, [ spoke for the removal
of third grade certificates and the sub
stitution Of better qualified teachers
In this / must name another requisite.
The teachers must be ladies and
gentlemen of refinement. culture and
common sense Common sense is an
all important requisite. Refinement,
self-culture, morality and common
sense should be taught with every
lesson. Can teacher instruct in that
which he does not know? Is not ex-
ample better than precept? Then one
of the great needs of the race is more
intellectual, refined and cultured
teachers. The teachers of this State
have an excellent opportunity to pre-
pare themselves for this great and
noble work of mind moulding The
Teachers Normals under the manage
ment Of State Supt. Shinn, are the
teachers aid. These Institutions
should be more largely attended, and
thus the corps Of teachers will become
better qualified in every respect. In
addition the common school branches,
as taught in these Normals, are Peda-
gogy and School Management. Thus
giving the teachers a good normal
training and fitting them for their vo-
cation. The teachers, of the State,
should not be slow to embrace this
great opportunity. There are some
excellent teachers in this section of the
south. But if fifty are good, then
we must make good the other fifty
And attending the Teachers Normal is
the way to accomplish this great end.
Our race is superstitious, suspicious
and treacherous. Education and good
moral training will wipe out these
evils when all else shall fail. I have
written at length about the qualifica-
tions of a teacher, because [ deem the
work of the "school marm and master,n
one of the noblest and greatest of voca-
tions. For under the teacher, the
youth should grow morally, spiritually
and intellectually. Mynext, however,
will bring to your observation for
careful consideration another Need of
the Race. PEDRO.

AfrO-A erican Teach erS
Meeting.

The Afro-Americans teachers Of
this State, will hold teachers NEE
ting at Carbondale, this State, Dec.
goth, and we trust it will be attend
ed by all teachers who are interest
ed in the educational welfare Of our
race. We know there is some op-
position to separate meetings Of this
character among us, but so long as
separate schools exist in any por-
ton Of our state, tits wise and prop
er for us to give them our sanction,
and encourage their promoters.
When we take into consideration
that we have separate churches, col
leges and other institutions Of learn
ing managed by US, there can be no
just grounds for opposing such or
carnations. We shall, no preven-
ting providence, be present, and
hope to see a large attendance.

Senator CuIIOnl

Senator Cullom is again evincing
his int in the welfare of the la
borer. The bill recently introduc-
ed by him in the seLate; "to secure
automatic couplers" on trains, IS a
timely and much needed measure
for the protection (the Senator is
committed to the system Of protec-
tion) Of trainmen while reforming
their dangerous tasks. The lives
of these men are insecure at best,
and every effort to throw around
them proper safe guards, will be
highly appreciated by that fraterni-
ty, and the publicin general.

WHO GETS THE MONEY?

In a recent speech at Ashtabula,
Ohio, Major Mckinley said: You can
not have free trade in this country un-
less you level the conditions of Ameri-
can workingmen. They say that the
manufactures and capitalists get the
benefit of protection. You hear that
every day from those who seem to want
free trade. If the workingman gets
fifty cents day on the other side of
the water and comes here and gets
50 a day, who gets the dollar and a
halt? Is not that true? If the pay
over there is seventy-five cents day
and the pay here 81 25, because of the
protective tariff. who gets the dollar
and half? Not the manufacturer nol
the capitalist, but the man who works

Nothing is so fortunate for the Demo-
Gratis Of the country individually as the
defeat of the political party to which
they belong. Success would have
ruined them for their financial policy,
coupled with their free trade ideas, if
carried into Congressional enactment
would have brought panic and disas-
ter long ago in place of the commercial
and industrial prosperity now abroad
in the land. Every Democrat in the
