PUBLIC DISCRIMINATION

Mr.. George NJ. Arnold is pre-
pairing a paper to hand President
Harrison and which be will ask to
be made public to the cabinet, call
ing attention to the injustice doue
colored clerks in the Various Ex.
ecutlve departments of the govern
ment in this city by heads of
divisions, chiefs of sections, ect.
Mr. Arnold will show truthfully,
that Notwithstanding colored men
have passed through the civil
service process andare found fully
competent in all respects for the
positions to which they have been
assigned, that there is seemingly
we'll settled policy or understand
ing with a great majority of heads
of divisions and chiefs of sections
to keep these colored clerks as
apprentices and at one sort or
quality of work while the others
who come in at the same time and
favored by being graded as exam
liners, Comparers, filters, noters
ect. ect, and thus put in the line
OF promotion and recognition, at
the expence of the colored clerk,
all on account of the unmanly
prejudice on the part of those
having brief authority and the dis
position to push the colored man
back, and keep him down.
This matter and that of the coloni.
zstion business in executive Offices
In this city will be carefully and
considerably laid before Gen. |
Harrison on bis return to the city. |

and asked for a few minutes IN
which to bring before the cOnven'
ton a matter which he thought
ought to be acted upon at once.
He did not wish "a resolution,
which he would at once proceed to
read, to be referred to a committee
that probably would not report un-
til just before the close of the con.
vention. He stated that he had
lately visited Washington and that
he had seen, at Arlington Heights
Cemetery, a stone bearing this ill.,
scription "Beneatb this stone
reposes the bones of 2,200 unIden-
tilted soldiers.'
The resolution elected immediate
and a very warm discussion.
The G. A. r., and the wv. u,
have renewed their VOWS of ideli-
ty to our brother in black the pa
triOtic sons say they will not have
him. Yes, you will, you have got
him to take and that in full next
year. He will be ripe by that time
and ready to pull.

ADMISSIONS TO THE NOR
NAL SCHOOL.

The BEE is of the opinion that
the citizens of this city, i. e.
those who want an increase in
the number of admissions to the
Normal school, are entitled to
some consideration in this partic-
uIar. There is no reason why
the number of admissions to
the Normal school should not
be increased from 26 to 40. Sup.
pose all the graduates cannot be
appointed to leadership, ought
they not have the benefits of a
Normal school training? The
fact of the matter is, suppose the
number was increased to 100 it
would be better still, but, under
the circumstances the people will
be satisfied If the number is in
creased to 40 or so
The BEE respectfully submits
this proposition to trustee Bruce
and there is no doubt but that be
will be warmly supported by
trustees Shadd and Cornish. Let
the colored High and Normal
schools he PLACED upon the same
basis as the white High and Nor
NAL schools. The colored High
schools will remain in statue quo a.
long as Prot. Cardoza is at the
head, Personally, the BEE has
nothing against him, but, in JUS
tice to the citizens, and taxpayers,
Prof. Cardoza should be transferred
to one of the supervising princi-
palships and Prof. II NJ. Browne,
the present teacher of Physics be
appointed in bis place.
1t is hoped that trustee Bruce,
who is member of the High and
Normal school committee, will
favorably consider these PROPOSE
tioDs submitted by the BEE.
1st. Increase the number of
admissions to the Normal school
from 26 to 40
2nd. Transfer or remove Prof.
Cardoza from the High school and
appoint a man IN the person of
Prof. II NJ. Browne, who has
made the High School. so far as
his studies are concerned, what it
is. Immediate action Is necessa-
ry for the good of the schools.

NOTES FROM THE UNION
VETERAN REUNION.

The address of General Clark, at
the Veterans Re union in Cleveland
last week was strong, fearless and
patriotic, especially on the color
line question,
In It he reviewed the work of the
organization during the year, and
recO amended that the members
get closer together and work still
more in harmony. The Union
Veterans Union per diem service
pension bill, which he said was the
shield OF the order, and which earn
est efforts have thus far failed to
get through Congress, was briefly
dwelt upon. This bill provides that
the amount of pension of old SOL
dlers shall depend upon the time
they served in the army, the
monthly payment equalllng in
cents the whole number of days
served. A glowing tribute was
paid to the old soldiers, and the
path of the republic, the speaker
SAID, was made plain and clear by
the heroic efforts of the boys in
blue during the years 1861 and
1868. Nations were great, not for
the things that were done, but on
account of the men who did them.
In strongest terms the speaker de-
MED the existence of class or color
lines in the Union Veterans Union.
The black soldier, on the battle
field, fought and won his way to
mem n"2--lp in any and all organi-
zatlohs where patriotism was the
test and bravery and endurance
The requirements and any organiza,
Ion OF this character that would |
ieny him was unworthy the name
ot patriotic order.

Rev. Bowen is one Of the most
polished and 10 doubt the best
pulpit orator in the Negro race.
He bas no equal. His address on
last Monday night in response to
the one delivered by Mr.. Douglass
commanded the attention of the
entire audience. DIR. Bowen de-
served the compliment that was
paid him by the citizens of this
city and the tribute that Mr.. Doug

worthy man. The addresses of
Mr.. Douglass and DIR. Bowen are

inst in time for supper. L ate

visitors who had just returned
f, ON MiddIeburg, where they had
been to a grand meeting. L had
special invitation to 90 to the

not accept. There are times IN the

ry are on my eide and are enjoy

discussion Of my visitors a major
ity decides in may favor.
Saturday August 2lst, l went
foo ton milo dive fO PapOnian
Springs. This Spring has a
great history which time will not
permit me to write it all. howev-
er 1t was discovered about one
year ago. 1t has healing qualities
about it. A man vas very sick
and went to house near the
spring and took his abode, this
being the nearest water, he drank
from it daily and less time than )
months he was a we'll man. An
other man diseased drank from
the same spring and was cured.
The owner came to the conclusion
to have the spring anaIyzad and
the doctors found the water l 900
pounds tighter than any other
water Since the great discovery
the spring has been enclose / by
stone tower which makes 1t a
beautiful place. Hundreds OF
people visit the place daily. l
drank freely of the water and l
must say such water [ never
tasted before. Il is sold at $3.50
a gallon, but 10 cents per quart at
the tower, which is cheaper. l
also visited the Blue Ridge and
Tarquin mountains which [ will
write more about later.
Mrs. John r. Webb of SIIcOtt
Springs called on me and gave
me very extensive invitation to
come and see her but time would
not permit me to go. Mr.. aud
Mrs. J. R. Webb have a boarding
house at Silcott Springs and their
place is said to be one Of the fin
est in the county. They have a
beautiful fish pond on their place
with about 1000 fish of different
species the size Of shad, and are
said to be as tame as Gagged birds.
