Criticism and comparison perhaps
are both out of place here, but 1t was
with no small amount of local pride
that we marked the wide difference
between tho speeches and songs of
each school.
The gong sounds for dinner. The
studcdts quickly formed in the chapel
and led by the band playing martial
music, the long line In double files
emerged from the broad portels and
marched TO their allotted tables In the
best of order. When all took their
places, hats were removed, and not
withstanding the thousand people
present, all was stilled In q moment,
and DIR. Allen asked Gods best bless-'
ing, which. Was responded to by .
hearty Amen"
I Then there was a fitting to and
fro, and all was activity. The young
ladies of our Normal vyeiug with
each other to make the visitors at
home. Ii was q beautiful sight, and
the peals of laughter that arose from
every quarter of the grove gave proof
that the strangers were highly pleased
with the repast.
The exercises closed by some
practical work in the school rooma.
At four p. N. lines were reformed
and marched ID. the "Cape City,
which lay at the wharf awaiting them.
All was soon on boaid and aftefA
few words of thanks from Prof. Allen,
the boat swung Into the stream with
her living freight, and amidst songs,
waving OF handkerehisfs and music
they started homeward whiie"'t the
multitude stood on the shore and saw
the visitors safely landed on their
native heath. So ended one OF the
srandest days ever witnessed in this
city.
Thirty years ago Illinois sent her
hardy sons, bearing arms, to help US
beat back the powers Of darkness,
and on the very spot where the
chanel of the Normal now stands
they stacked their arms and threw up
breast.works, and strange as 1t may
appear, the very clay that they dug
up that day, IL now moulded into the,
very brick that forms the walls Of the
building where the exercises were
held last Saturday.
What q change! A second army Of
invasion has come, bearing in their
hands the olive branch of peace and
coed will for ell, binding US together
as one people, henceforth and forever.
As q public journalist, making, ssv-
ing and perpetuating the history of
eur city and section, We cannot close
this article without thanking our
citizens who 90 generously came to
the help of the Faculty, and . few
names deserve to be inscribed on the

OuP Hfrat COl0rea Jury.

Michael Jacobs, q colored imam, wa
arrested Monday by officers Griet
and Eaten, charged with disturbing
the peace. He was arraigned for trial
Tuesday in the Recorders Court
Robert L. Wilson appeared for Jacobs
and demanded a jury of the accused's
peers. The jury was sworn in and
the trial proceeded. The evidence
was heard and the jury rendered q
verdict of not guilty.
: This is the first colored jury that
ever tried Q case in this city. The
men who composed the jury are all
intelligent colored men and they
rendered a correct and rightful yer.
dict. This goes to show that colored
men are capable of interpreting the
law and meeting out justice. Had
Jacobs been guilty the jury that tried
him would have so adjudged him and
he would have been punished.

hoc h1o
The true peoples money is the
best money; that is the money which
will buy the most Of what every msu
needs, and which will be worth the
same this week Is It was last, the
same next year as this year. There
is no security for savings OF any kind
with any ether standard of value, no
safety for loans, no interest on bank
deposits. The man who declares
cheap money in any form to be the
apeoplc's money" is the worst posi-
BILE enemy Of the people, for his policy
If carried out by the government,
would rob the people of a large por-
ton of their hard-carned savings;
would cut down their wages, and
would throw the whole business of
the country in confusion and doubt,
sending paralysis and disaster into
every industry and into every branch
of trade and commerce. The worst
sufferers would be the toilers Of all
kinds, the people of modern means,
aud the poor. 1t the advocates of
free coinage were honest in their con.
tcntioh that the country,s welfare
would he enhanced by having both
silver aud gold as a basis for its cur
rency, they would consent to the
coinage OF a silver. dollar worth 100
cents; but this they refuse TO do.
They refuse to accept an honest dol
lar, and insist upon q dishonest dollar.
They arc not serving the people, but
are serving the devil, and the issue
which they raise, far from being apo
li,ical one, is q moral one of the Arst
magnitude.
