The rates made to fruit growers in this state by railroads where shipments are made in carload lots have resulted benefcially to both fruit growers and carriers.

HANDS OFF.

We are of the opinion that Sena-
tor Prichard of North Carolina
nigh allow the school officials to
attend to their own business with
cut his interference. The attempt
of Mr.. Priehard to increase the
pay of Mr.. Love in the High school
over deserving teachers who are
more competent than Mr.. Love is
a piece of presumption and the
trustee who attempts should re-
c.iye the condemnation of the tax
payers of this city. Who is Mr..
Love anyway that he should be
promoted ? If reports are true he is
not competent to fill the position
he now holds in our High school.
When our public schools are made
to be the political dumping
grounds for North Carolina pollti-
clans and senators to pay off pollt
ical debts, it ia about time to abol-
ish the school system i'll this city.

THE DEPUTY TO WRIGHT.
Too MUCH AMBITION IN THE WASH
TON DELEGATION.
Especial to the BEE.)

Especial to the BEE.)
St. Louis, MO-, Oct 20, IS9S-When
the " ashington delegation left the
city for St. Louis, Mo-, to attend the
BIN. G. Convention of Odd Fellows,
it was supposed that it was unit for
Mr.. Thomas H. Wright for grand
master. The opposition to him didn't
develop itself until the arrival of the
delegation at ST. Louis, at which the
ambition of Mr.. David Clark begun to
show itself. He wanted to be deputy
grand master, in deed, the Washing
ton Delegation wanted everything In
sight. No sense could be put into the
heads of the delegates. They were
never ogether in St. Louis; they had
separate lodging houses and In fact
they were scattered all over the city.
Mr.. ]. Frank Boston, was the most
level-headed man in the entire delega-
ton. His nominating speech was
good, but little too long. Notwith-
standing the treachery Of the Wash
ington delegation toward their man
an attempt was made to elect, it was
thought had Mr.. Wright remained in
the field and the Washington delega-
ton had shown good sense, MIR.
Wright would have been elected.
They all lost their heads and senses.
The welcome address, of Mr.. George
w. Vashon put the delegates to sleep.
1t was out of point, entirely too long
Mr.. Wright defeat is due to the STU
pidiiy of his delegation and the am
bition of Clark.

OUR WOMEN.

There is one proposition that
we are compelled to agree with The
daily Post, and that is, our colored
men have but little if any respect
for their women. As a rule the
reputation of some of our women
is blasted or an attempt is made to
blast it by men of disreputable
characters. 1t is always the COM
mon libertine and black leg whose
association is with the denai mondes
who will at all times attempt to
cast suspicion on the good name
and reputation of our women
The reason of that is, readily
understood. Men who are
common and low themselves VIII
make every effort to bring good
women down to their level. Our
esteemed contemporary is right in
this particular. In this the average
negro has no race pride. Some of
them have more respect for prosti
tutes than they have for the honor
and integrity of women who en-.
deavor TO live above suspicion. If
you want to find out the reputation
and character of a man who
assaults the good name of a

woman follow him among his
associates and the dives he fre-
quents. Men who have not the
time to investigate these assassins
are often led to believe what they
say to be true. These moral
assassins. murdeIers and libertines
can be found among the lower
animals in the negro race.

CROWDED SCHOOLS.

Now that we have that harmony
among the colored members of the
school board. which has never be-
fore existed since the adoption of
the present school system, it is
highly essential that something
be done, and that at the ear
liest practicable moment, to relieve
the congestion in the schools from
the first to the eighth grades and
also to lop off some of the super
fluous studies now being caused
by the students in the eighth grade
and in the High School. We believe
that, with the combined effort of
Supt. Cook and the trustees such
representation could be made to
the Commissioners as would speed
lily bring about this much desired
end. The public school system
was not designed to furnish col
legiate education, but merely that
practical knowledge of reading,
writing and arithmetic necessary
to the conduct of business and
to enable the student to become a
self-reliant man or woman and
hence a good citizen.
Our schools are so shametully
crowded That the system of half day
schools has been adopted in most OF
the buildings. A great deal of this
congestion could be avoided and
more attention given to each scholar
were there less number of studies
to be gone through each day.

MORE PRINCIPLE.

In the honest desire to promote
the best interests Of the race, it |
frequently occurs that the in
ducement to ignore principle be-
comes very strong. Particularly |
is this true when We attempt to
account for or adjnst onr civil,
social or political relations in this
country. On every hand we meet
opposition to what under any code
of ethics we gre justly entitled.
We are set off from the masses of
the people because it is claimed
that we are inferior. Railroad
companies, hotel proprietors, the
atrical managers and what not
discriminate against us on the
ground. The constitution and
laws which declare our political
rights are made imperative by the
persistency of race prejudice.
Separate institutions of charity,
separate partitions of jails, sepa-
rate parts of churches, emphasize
the force of color prejudice.
Every where the trail of the ser.
pent of race hate is found. 1t is
therefore not strange that under
such conditions many of us in our
desire for race elevation, lose sight
of principle and seek to alleviate
or soften our lot though the me-
dunn of fattery, adulation and
policy. We are disopsed to call
indifference conservatism and to
refer civil, political and social os-
tracism to defective education on
the part of the whites. We speak
of expediency when we wish to
remove peiudice and beat back the
rising tide of opposition. 1t is
expediency which has guided the
average selfish leader and it is ex-
pediency which will ever keep us
in the rear of civilization. Rxpe-
diency is the parent of slavery, of
despotism, of wrong. 1t has kept
the race down and is calculated
ever to do so. Unless we worship
less at the shine of expediency and
more at that of principle we can
hope for but little race elevation.
The guiding star which has directed
wise governments, elevated races
and digniied the individual, is
principle. 1t inspired Luther,
Toussaint, Lincoln.
1t is the shibboleth Of the just,
of the brave and the hope of the
race. In taking sides upon any
question involving the rights of
man, let our leaders stand on prin-
ciple. If social and politician con-
ditions confront us which do not
favor the fullest mental, moral and
material advancement, let us not
attempt t. justify their existence
by claiming that they are the ex-
preston of expediency. If We can
not change conditions, We can ut
least bear them in silence. 1t is
worse than folly to strive to make
it appear that color prejudice and
hate or any Institution base upon
or growing out of them are justl-
fable upon any principle of right.
That We may be obligated to live in
alocality where prejudice and pros
cription exist may be true. And
we may not be able to successfully
combat such opposition. But in
the name of decency and com
mon sense, let us not attemp to
capitulate by falling back upon
eKpediency. Let us stand on princi-
ple and bide the time referred to
by President Mckinley in his
speech made in Omaha few days
since:
Fright action follows right purpose.
We may not at all times be able to 1

This is one OF the most Outrage.
Gus schemes ever invented by the

there is grave danger that early in

projectors design that 1t shall ulti-
mately be, the head and front of

system, which our Order has per-
sistently fought since the day of
its birth.
The bill, which consists of thir-
ty-one sections and covers an equal
number of pages of printed matter,
is very elastic in many of its pro-
visions, and with the aid of little
additional legislation permitting
an increase of its capitalization
might, and very probably would,
IN few brief years absorb tho

5000 of these institutions in

be narrowed down to one mon
strous octopus, with It's tentacles
and feelers reaching into every
