WHOSE FAULT is IT?

There seems to be something
lacking in our school board. The
trustees either don't know their
rights or they are afraid to exercise
them. The recent distribution OF
the tickets to the graduating ex-
ercises of the High and Normal
schools was the worse arranged
affair in the history of our public
school system. The trustees
had no say in the distribution of
the tickets and indeed they had to
accept what was handed them.
The white peoples servants were
there in full force, while respecta-
be coIored people and tax payers
had to take back seat or 60 up in
the pit. There were several reserved
seats unoccupied while hundreds
of respectable citizens were COM
Lelled to stand up. This way of
sending tickets to white peoplewho
did not appreciate them sufficient
ly to come, but instead, send their
servants, cooks, chambermaids
etc. Whose fault is it? Have the
people got school trustees with
sufficient manhood and woman
hood to represent the people prop
perly? There were but a dozen
white people in the audience and
only two of any distinction, Supt.
Powell and Auditor Petty of the
District building. The other seats
which should have been taken by
persons of the Caucasian race
were taken by their cooks and
chambermaids. Let the trustees
take hold of this matter and here
after appoint subcommittee
from the High and Normal school
committee to have charge of the
arrangements of the graduating
exercises of these two schools. Let
the trustees see that a large
theatre is secured. Albaugh's
Opera House should have been
selected which would have afforded
more room.

THE NEGROES MUST "GIT.

From the News and Observer, IN. c.
The edict from bleeding
Kansas SIS that there is no room or
opening there for the negro who
wants to work for his living. We have
seen how the republican Governor OF
Illinois had negroes shot down be-
cause they wanted to work in the
mines of that State. The following
telegram shows how hospitable Kan
sas is to the ward of the nation"
IMPORTATION OF NEGROES
STOPPED.
Striking Miners Stop Operators From
Bringing Them In-Say They Are
Criminals.
Pittsburg, Kan. June 1S.-The strik-
ing union coal miners appear to have
temporarily stopped the importation
of southern negroes by the mine op-
orators. The hearing Of the injunction
cases brought by strikers to prevent
the importation of miners from other
States has been postponed until June 26
he miners set up that rhe negroes
are criminals and affected with con-
tagious disease and that their coming
would be menace TO the health e
the community and the good order O.
the public.
Booker Washington is right when
he says that the negro has a better
chance in the South than in any sec
ton of the Union. The South does
not coddle him or deceive him like
the sentimentalists Of the North. 1t
lets hi Al work, give him employment,
pays him for it, and supports public
schools for his children. 1t says
plainly and bluntly that he shall not
govern, but does not prate hypocriti-
cally ,his rights and privileges" and
refuse him admission to places where
there is work on the ground that they
"are criminals and affected with con-
tagious diseases and that their COM
ing would be menace to the health
of the community and the good order
Of the public. !"

LIEUTENANT DAILDY.

The appointment of Sergeant
John G. Daley as lieutenant is no
doubt the best appointment that
has ever been made by any chief
of police. Sergeant Daley should
have been promoted long ago, but
the opposition of his enemies has
always been the prevailing proven :
tative with his superior officers,
with the exception of Maj. Richard
Sylvester, who is a man of nerve
and generally acts upon his own
volition, had the temerity to pro-
mote a worthy and deserving
officer. Lieutenant DALEY is one Of
the most efficient officers on :he
force and he has without fear or
favor reyolutionized and reformed
some Of the worse places in this
city. Notwithstanding the abuse
and condemnation that he has
received from prejudicial sources
he has been a most humble officer.
Maj. Sylvester is to be congratu-
lated, because he has recognized
man on merit alone. The BEE
in common with the people will
look upon this appointment with
admiration.

PROF. WETHERLESS.

Prof. Wetherless, the newly ap-

has made such wonderful succuSS in
that department, will leave the city
next week for an extensive eastern
and northern trip for the purpose OF
visiting and studying tie methods o.
some of the largest and best educa-
tional institutions. There is no teach
er in this country better qualified in
all brances education than Prof.
Wetherless. The trustees are TO be
congratulated in sucuring the services
of such worthy and cultured teacher.

The Emigrant's Fortune.

An estimate has been made of tbe
average amount of money which Eu-
ropean emigrants take with them tn
America. From this it appears that the
first place is held by the German, who
takes over just ten guineas with him.
while the second place belongs to the
Englishman. with about six shillings
less. The third is the Frencnman, who
has nine guineas, and he IS followed
by the Belgian with just over 80, while
the Irishman's capital is f3, the Rus
slams f2 10s., and the Italians barely
f2. He is, therefore, the poorest, but
it is believed that when he returns ts
his own land he probably carries awag
more money than any of the others.

tion approaches. indications are
growing more and more favorable
to the denomination of President
Mckinley on the first ballot. This
is conceded by the most conserva.
tive as well as by the opponents OF
the President. The reason for
these favorable signs is plain. At
no time since the civil war have
conditions been so safe and sound
as now, considered from a material
point OF view. The business Of the
country has taken phenominal
strides prices have advanced and
the revenues are accumulating with
astounding rapidly. The farmer,
the mechanic, the business man,
are reaping the reward of wise ad-
ministration of national affairs and
in spite of the expensive war now
being conducted In the far East,
the country was never in more
prosperous condition. The absence
of iobbery; the modification Of
the civil service TO meet the ust
requirements Of bonded officers,
the admirably adjusted foreign
relations; the excellent harmony
existing among public officers and
with but few exceptions among
leading politicians all attest to
the strongest probability that the
nation will select Mckinley TO
continue his wise administration Of
public business. Aside from this
the colored republicans view
with favor the salutlry influence
now being exerted by the President
looking toward the suppression
and punishment of lawlessness and
lynchings and the liberal tendency
of our federal officers toward the
appointment of colored men to
Office of profit and trust. The solic-
itude of the President has been
more that once expressed concern
ing the political rights of the color
ed people and there's no doubt
that the delay Of vigorous meas
ures is only temporary, awaiting
the effect of the nefarlous state
laws which are aimed at our dis
reimbursement, which is at this
time only problemstical Should
the boasts of the ex-rebel material
ize, the President will no doubt
require the Attorney General and
the Supreme Court to pass upon the
constitutionality of the state laws,
in which case the result is easily
anticipated. Should Mr.. Mckinley
be renominated he will undoubt
edly be elected. The democrats are
beating about frantically for a
standard bearer who can make a
respectable stand against our
inevitable nominee. Organism is
waning and the alarmists are
already dlsarmed by the improved
material conditions. But Bryanism
will still pe defiant while the gold
standard democrats willstill be firm
With these certain qualities, there
seems no doGbt that if the colored
voters in the northern states do
their part, the reeecltion of Mr..
Mckinley will be assured. That
they will do their duty, there is no
doubt.

Manila, April 5, 6 80 p. m.-There
are persistent rumors that Aguinaldo
has been supplanted in the control of
Filipino affairs by General Antonio
Luna, the commander in chief of the
Filipino forces. Luna is described as
being typical belligerent.
The editor of Oceania thinks the
proclamation is the most polite docu-
ment ever published in the Philippine
islands and that it is bound to convince
the wavering of the folly of further
hostilities.
An English merchant says the first
clause with reference to the establish
ment and maintenance Of American
sovereignty and warning the rebels
should settle the question in the minds
of every thinking Filipino.
A Scotch ship owner thinks it does
not leave any further doubt as to the
policy of the United States and that
consequently Auginaldo must submit to
the inevitable.
New York, April 5.-The following

terday's engagement:
Manila, April 4. $40 p m.-General
MacArthur's division still remains at

two guns and detachment of cavalry,
all under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Wallace, made reconnaissance
in force today in the direction of CAL
umpit. The country was thoroughly
scored
A body of the enemy, numbering
upward of a thousand, was found few
miles from Calumpit. Our troops at
tackled the Filipinos. who made short
defense and then scattered It was
useless to pursue them, SO the Ameri-
cans returned to Malolos.
