THREE RESIGNED.

There are three vacancies in the
trustee board of Howard Univer-
sity and in a very few days the
remaining trustees will elect three
new men to fill these vacancies.
This is a negro institution or it is
supposed to be, but it seems that
the negroes are in the minority.
Will the colored trustees on the
board have the nerve to name three
reputable colored men for these
places? Will they allow DR.. Ran
kin to dictate to them =? Are the
colored trustees, on the board ,
subjected to DR.. Rankin's orders?
We have had enough of the pres
ent lncum bant Of Howard Univ.r-
sity and think it is time for the
colored trustees of Howard Univer-
sity TO see to it that one Of their
number is made president of that
institution.
The people will watch the COM
ing election with vigilent eyes.

NO RING CANDIDATE
WANTED

There is a movement on foot
among society people in this CON-
munity to influence the trustees to
appoint one of their number musi-
cal director in the schools over
Prof. j. t. Layton, who is entitled
to the place. The people are in
favor of Prof. Layton and they
think he should be appointed.
The BEE as well as the people
will oppose the appointment of any
ring candidate in the schools as a
music teacher. Our High and
Normal Schools are in need of a
reorganization and new teachers
placed at the head of these two
schools.

URGE MODERATION.
wosIen Manufacturers Oppose High
Duties on Wool.

wosIen Manufacturers Oppose High
Duties ON Wool.
Some of the severest criticisms not
only of special duties and clauses, but
of the whole accursed protective sys-
tenn, come from the protected manufac-
turers themselves in their struggle with
opposing interests. Mr.. S. n. d. North,
secretary of the WOolen Manufacturers
association, is now and always has been
a stanch protectionist. As such he be-
lieyes that the 100000 consumers of
this country are legitimate subjects for
Dlunder and that the manufacturers
are the proper persons to enjoy the pro-
lection plunder.
The free wool experiment which we
have been trying for three years, be-
sides being an object lesson in the way
of cheap woolens, has taught the
woolen manufacturers that they can
make as much or more profit with free
wool and moderate protection, which
permits people of moderate means to
wear real woolen goods, than with hlgh
duties on both wool and wOolens which
pie in good circumstances. The manu-
facturers therefore display more than
their usual modesty and patriotism in
the advice which they are giving TO
congress. Mr.. North is in Washington
to voice the manufacturers patriotism.
Here is part of his advice as taken from
the Washington correspondence OF the
Dry Goods Economist:
am free to say the bill is far from salts
factory to the woolen manufacturers. The
chief fault is to be found with the raw
wool duties, which are so high that our
manufacturers will find themselves sorely
embarra ssed. 1t is true the committee has
provided compensatory duties which are
probably sufficient to Offset the duties on
raw wool, but the difficulty will be, In my
opinion, that the very considerable IN
crease in price which must be made to
cover the additional cost Of raw material
will have the effect of cutting down con-
sumption to an extent that will be disas-
trous to the manufacturers. / do not con-
tend that the rates on wOolen manufac-
lures in the bill are not sufficient to protect
US against too severe foreign competition,
but the limit of the consumers purchas-
ing power must control him IN buying
woolen manufactures, and fear the rates
of the new bill will very materially restrict
consumption.
This is practically saying to Dingley,
Aldrich and the other servants of the
protected manufacturers at Washing
ton:
go slow with your high duties and
don't try to protect too many. If you
let everybody into the protection ring,
there will be nobody outside to prey
upon and we will have to prey upon
each other. Don't make the mistake
of taxing raw material too high. We
wouldn't mind it if we could sell our
goods and charge the tax over to the
consumer. But when the tax is so high
that we have to make our prices almost
out of sight we have found that we can
not sell so many goods because the peo-
pie can't afford to wear clothes-that
is, woolen clothes, which are the only
cnes worth considering, because they
are the only ones which we manufac-
ture. Our solicitude for the dear Amer
lean consumer is such that we do not
wish to compel him to clothe himself in

SELF-CONSTITUTED.
The greatest drawback to the

The greatest drawback to the
colored people of this country is
what is known as self-cons;ltuteo
leadership. This leadership in
gratiates itself into the good wishes
of administrative powers by toady-
ism and by playing the role OF an
apologist. In another column OF
this paper will be seen what a rep
resentative of the A. NJ. L. Church
has to say relative to the authority
that has been delegated to him, as
he alleges, by the President Of the
United States.
The BEE is confident that Presi-
dent Mckinley has not delegated
any such authority to the Bishop.
The colored people Of this country
do not recognize any leadership.
They prefer to select their own
men to represent them. The great
mistake that politicians, now IN
authority, make is to thrust men
upon the people the masses do not
want. 1.-THE colored people had of
been consulted there would have
been no national scandals in some
of our district offices.
The colored citizens of Maryland
would be in better condition than
what they are now, had their wish
es been consulted concerning COL
ored appointments.
When a man informs the Presi-
dent that he represents the entire
colored race in the United States
and that a representative southern
appointment will satisfy the entire
race in the south, he states what is
not true ana the colored man will
resent it.
If Bishop Arnett would only at
tend to his church duties and allow
the state representatives to speak
for their people, he would be doing
what is right.

1t is strange that the trustees Of

convenient to appoint out siders tc
positions in our schools and cannot
find places for our Normal School

appointed by DR.. Shadd and Mrs.

it was an insult to her dignity be-
cause she was asked to assist a

REAL RACE LEADERS NOT IN IT.
The Rev. Bishop B. W. Arnett,
representing the A. NJ. E. Church
and A. NJ. E. candidates for Office
and all other applicants in the
United States, was in the city last
week for the purpose of landing his
son and to inspect the applications
of all colored candidates for Office.
Bishop Arnett of the A. NJ. E.
Church, IN conversation with
representative colored politician
and lawyer of distinction in the
State of Pennsylvania said:
"Yes. sir, am Just from the White
House, / saw President Mckinley and
/ want TO say to you that the Pre-
sident informed me that he IN
tends to make eight or ten appoint
menfs Of colored men in the Consular
service, and am to inspect all of them
and decide whether they are the
proper men to appoint" No appoint
ment, continued Bishop Arnett "of a
colored man to a Presidential office
will be made without my Endorsement.
All papers of colored applicants are
referred to me"
The BEE cannot believe for a
moment that President Mckinley
informed tn, Bishop, who is a self
constituted leader, that he is to
pass upon all colored applicants to
the consulor and diplomatic serv-
ice before they are appointed. The
many hundred thousand colored
voters in this country who have
constituencies behind them will not
tolerate the gall and impudence Of
