COMMUNICATED.

AS father and taxpayer l ask for
space in the GAZETTE to express my
self on the vacancy to be filed in the
colored girls school. First, my choice
is woman; but think she ought to
get the position on her merits and not
by feeling. The time has come when
men and women should be honored &C.
cording to their merits and not be al
lowed to ride into positions on the
shoulders of others. Second, don't
think that q married woman should
make a fight against the single ones.
This, 1 think, impedes their progress
in studies, &c. 1t is true we want the
best teachers that can be had for our
children, and we are willing to trust to
the judgment of the board whether it
be man or woman. We believe they
will give us the one best qualified.
1t has been said that the boys school
excels the girls school. If this be true
why not let our girls have the benefit
of the male teachers by mixing the
schools, as all others in the State. Some
have said it was on the acc cunt of max
ing our children more moral. Does
this speak we'll for the morals of our
city, or children, or does it show bad :?
see two good things connected
with it. If they both be true as
stated the children will have better
teaching, and those who are at the
south end will not be compelled to go
to the north end, and those at the
north end will not have to go to the
south end to get to school, some Of
them half clad. Yours for the good
and health of our children, ]. NJ. B.

on the Kansas Pacific Railway was
wrecked about daylight this morning
about five miles east Of Denver. Two
tiaiomen were killed outright. five pas
sengers are said to be fatally injured
and many others badly hurt. The
wreck was caused by washout. The
heavy rains of the night flooded the

Without warning the engine plunged
into the abyss, followed by the mail and
baggage car, and other cars we're piled
about in confusion. The engine was
completely under water in almost the

TUESDAY EVENING. AUG 3. 1897

A NORTHERN newspaper, slluding to
the recent declaration of few OF the
negro preachers against the crime their
race has developed since they were
freed, educated and given the privilege
ofsufrage, says: "The moral influence
of the colored churches in the South
can scarcely be overestimated." 1t is
utterly impossible for Northern people
to learn anything at all about the true
condition of the South. If they would
soiourn awhile in the South, and keep
their eyes open when here, they would
soon know that the good moral Influence
of the churches referred to is little or
nothing. Why, it was only few weeks
ago that negro bishop in Georgia ed
yised the members of his race to arm
themselves and, with shot gun and dyna-
mite, to seek their own revenge upon
their white neighbors for lynching ne
gro brutes guilty of outrsges upon white
.vo,,ap
