TRUSTEES BRUCE AND
CORNISH.

There is no Disgusting the fact,
trustees Bruce and Cornish have
been indicted, by M. John T.
Mitchell, president of the Board OF
Trustees of the public schools.
The people don't believe that they
are guilty of the charges against
them, that the seventh and eighth
school divisions are not progressing
on acc, urt of the bad methods OF
some one. Superintendent Cook
as well as the two trustees stands
indicted also, and he is in duty
bound to vindicate himself as we'll,
as the two school divisions are
under his superintendency. Trus
tee Bruce will certainly take care
OF himself, and 80 far as Mr.. Cor
nish is concerned there has never
been trustee appointed in that
division who has done more to
improve lts system than Mr.. Cor
nish. The people are indebted to
him for the successful operation
of the industrial departments in
his division Notwithstanding
the success these gentlemen lave
met with, president Mitchell has
made a serious charge against
them from which they must ex-
tri cate themselves.

RACE PRIDE

The question has been discussed
from time immemorial bv The
phlIosopbic thinkers of the colored
race, but to say that tie philosophy y
that they have endeavored to
teach has had any effect on the
race is a question of great coujec-
ture. There is but little race
pride among the colored peoK lie
of this country. There is toe
much Jealousy and prejudice
amoug the masses. At this p Din'
the BEE would like to suggest the
propriety Of those who will, TO at.
tend the Bethel Literary on mex
Tuesday evening and listen to a
paper 10y Mr.. HilIyer. The BEE
is confident that great lesson
will be taught.
The Bethel Literary under the
presidency of Col. Gee. M. Ar
mold, has become one of the most
popular institutions in this coun
ty. The BEE, of course, means no
discredit to former presiden' 8.
for instance, Mr.. Lewis Douglass,
who made an excellent presiding
officer of that popular Literary.

GOOD SENSE.
indianapolis World

'Inexcusable Is the TRADE being
waged against ex Senator Bruce
by a few prejudieed editors. The
man has done no greater sin than
they would have done had condi-
tions been reversed. We cannot
we'll afford to be forever throwing
mud balls at those who wear silk
hats just because We are compelled
to wear slouches."
The fellow who wears the slouch
hat may aspire TO wear silk one
some day, but be is not likely to
do 80 unless he depends upJn bis
own efforts and improve his own
opportunities.
Mr.. Bruce owes his prominence
and distinction to his own sturdy
efforts; he worked while some
others slept, and the result is he
has reached the point where he
can afford to wear a silk hat.
Do something for yourselves,
boys.

In another column of this paper
will be seen an excellent letter
from Hon. Simon Wolf to Col.
Geo. M. Arnold, president of the
Bethel Literary Society. Mr..
Wolf has always been friend to
the oppressed. 1t is quite natural
that he can eympathize with the
colored race, as the race to which
he is identified has b en- ostracised
and prosecuted, and yet it is the
most industrious and the wealth.
est race upon the globe.
If the negro race had that race
PRIDE that Mr.. Wolfs' race has, it
would be the proudest and the
grandest race known to civlliza-
ton.

VERY UNWISE.

1t has been suggested by one o.
two colored editors that the col
ored people who should happer
to be at Minneapolis during the
session of the convention, should
hold a convention of their own
q sort of side show, with view
of debating a policy to the Ma
tional Convention, itself. A more
absurd proposition was never
made by men outside of the luna
tic asylum. There will be at least
one hundred colored delegates oc-
cupying seats on the floor of the
convention, and if they, being the
equals of their white brother dele.
gates, cannot voice the sentiments
of the race on questions efectine
It's interest, pray what can be ex-
pected from a motley crowd OF
sore heads and disappointed otfice
seekers on the outside?
A convention made up by such
odds and ends as these would no,
rise to the dignity of first class
mob, but might nevertheless bring
contempt and ridicule upon the
race.
No, brethren, this movement is
very unwise and no man who val
ues his reputation, if be has any,
will be found in this heterogeni-
Gus gang.
Away with such nonsense.

SOUTHERN OUTRAGES.
El- CORRESPONDENT SMITHS Views
Editor of the Bee:

Editor Of the Bee:
Anent your timely editoria
upon Southern outrages, VIII, b
appeared in the last issue of the
BEE, and which | do most hearii.
Iy indorse, permit me to obs, rye
that the red man of the West, il
accorded all of his rights; nay
more, be has become in fact the
ward of the Government.
From the earliest times the un.
tutored Indian has resented every
outrage and injury heap d upon
him to the dea'h. Hence the
Government now finds it cheaper
to clothe, feed, civllize and ecu
cute him at the cost of millions OF
dollars per annum, than to con-
tlnue the old iuhuman extermi-
nation policy.
The colored man who has done
80 much to make this country
what it is is not treated by it, or
the majority of the people in it,
with half the consideration that
is freely bestowed upon the red
man.
This. in my opinion. is because
the Indian would rather die than
suffer wrong.
| know that bis former eondi
tion and the absence of the SYM
pathy of the ruling classes in his
struggles for recognition as free
man, has we'll nigh deprived the
colored man of innate forti'ude.
Then, too, the pulpit, besides
preaching SO much about the here
after, should preach that it is
sweet to die for ones country, but
sweeter to die for ones life, liber-
ty and pursuit of happiness.
By the way, it would not be a
bad idea to import about 100000
braves from Africa, who know
nothing Of the hereafter, and turn
them loose down S5uth. They
might right things there as tie
uncivilized Indian has in the na-
tion. X. S. SMITH.

ers position in the pressroom, and
on account of his conduct he was
discharged.
1t can be seen that the more a
man does for his constituents the
more he is abused. Congressman
Cheatham has made an excellent
record in Congress, and from per
soral knowledge he has made
more appointments Of his constltu
en's than any man who has had
the honor to represent the 2I

It is sincerely hoped that the
people of North Carolina will
stand by their representative.

a Female Scion Of the Astors MAKES
rfous Mischief

. rsmaIe Scion of the AstOrs Makes
riOus Mischief.
Fashionable society in this country @nU
IN ENGLAND is agitated over the unhappy
relations between J. Coleman Dray1o .s
formerly of Philadelphia, and ms "lle'
| who was Miss Augusta Astor, a daugh-
fer of Mr.. and Mrs. William Astor' Oh
| New York.
It is stated that Mr. Drayton has chai-
Ienged HaIlett Alsop Borrowe, viee-PreS-
ident of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. of New York, to duel, but tilaS
his challenge has been declined on the
ground that he had been too tardy IN de-
tense of his honor, and that there hao
been a question of money with him.
1t is generally believed that personal
encounter may occur on the steamer Ma
jestic. as both Drayton and Borrowe took
passage on her for New York last Wednes-
day
Mrs. Drayton is daughter of William
Astor and sister to John Jacob Astor,
whose marriage with Miss Ava Willing
was so notable a social event recently.
Her father, it is understood, has espOused
her cause and has determined to give her
the support of his friendliness through
all her troubles. Mr.. Drayton is son
of the late Henry Drayton, physician OF
some note in Philadelphia about a quar-
ter Of century ago. He was not wealthy,
and his marriage in the AstOr family was
a surprise to society. Trouble broke out
soon after the wedding. Mr.. Drayton
was rather quiet in his tastes and man
ners, and had small liking for the life
Of fashionable votaTy. Mrs. Drayton,
on the other hand was exceedingly fond
of society, and was constantly on the
90 at fashionable affairs, notwithstand-
ing the expressed preferences, it is said,
of her husband for more quiet life.
The correspondence between Drayton
and BOrrowe is published. 1t began
February 1st, and resulted in a challenge
from DraytOn to BOrrowe, to fight duel
in France, which BOrrOwe accepted in a
polite note. When Drayton's seconds
called on Borrowe at the Hotel Chatham,
Paris, however, the seconds of Mr.. Bor-
rowe refused to arrange fight or to Of
FER reparatiOn. Mr.. Drayton then wrote
20 Mr.. Borrowers seconds, denouncing
Borrowe as coward and a scOundrel,
and in reply Mr.. Borrowe's seconds stated
that no meeting could take place because
Mr.. Drayton had accepted money con-
sideration in the case.
So the matter stands, and the world Of
society in Europe and this country Is
agape over the details Of the scandal
