WHO WILL GO TO HEAVEN.

In another column of this issue The
Colored American names a large list
of people "For whom there'H be no
room in heaven" We believe every
word of those descriptions, and if you
just study moment, you can put your
finger On an individual of your ac-
quaintance who will tally perfectly
with some one of the classes enumerated
IN our feature. The matter was pre-
pared by our high-salaried funny"
man, but we don't see much joke about
tits too true to life, and the memory
of how we have been "done" by some
of the characters portrayed, stirs up a
feeling that is far from blissful. Any
how, dear reader, the column will re-
pay perusal, and if any of the ''shoes"
happen to fit your feet, don't accuse us
of having had you in mind at the time
the paragraph was written. We meant
'the other fellow" of the same kind as
y.urself. If all our indictments stick,
the question arises, "Who indeed will
get toheaven?

The cause Of the trouble arises from
the publication in last weeks paper of
letter signed can Alumnus," calling
attention to some alleged abuses in the
management of Howard, and charging
discrimination and favoritism on the
part OF President Rankin. The letter
was reprinted from the Washington
Times, and duly credited to that sheet
To proceed intelIigently, one or two
things should be understood in this
connection. The Colored American is
newspaper. It's function is to report
facts or occurrences as they exists or
happened. A news report or communi'
cation is one thing, and an editorial
expression Is another. 1t has always
been our policy to accord to all sides a
fair and impartial hearing, to the end
that the truth may be brought out and
justice established. Anything short OF
this Is a departure from the true pur-
pose of journalism. The letter in cues
Iion was signed communication. Il
was published in a paper not read by
colored people outside of Washington.
Allegations were made which demaded
authoritative contradiction or Investi-
cation. AS a matter of news we gave
the article space, presuming that the
persons in interest would understand
the unvariable rule ofJo1rnalism-tha
no publisher assumes responsibility fox
the opinions OF his contributors, reserv'
ing the editorial page for the expression
OF his own views. The press, to be
effective, must be free forum, and
every cause should be fully heard. The
facts in hand, the people can be trust
ed to decide.
1t Is but fair to ourselves to say the
article signed, IAN Alumnus" did not
represent our views on the manage
ment Of Howard University, but the
publication had the effect we desired.
1t rallied the friends of the school. and
so stirred those who know DR.. Rankin's
virtues, that should such statements be
made again soon, the person RESPONSE
BILE therefor Is apt to be compelled to
defend himself in an action at law.
We are friend to Howard University
and an ardent admirer of DR.. Rankin.
The school is the most widely known
institution in the country for the high
er education of the Negro youth DIR.
Rankin Is Christian gentleman, a
scholar and humanitarian. He has
from the beginning Of our citizenship,
given OF his time and means to aid in
the uplifting and broadening out of the
NegFs people, and accepting at per-
sonal sacrifice the headship of Howard
at time when it was run down and
almost in the throes of dissolution, he
has erected an institution that shall
stand forever as monument to his
sterling character, executive skill and
liberal methods. The Negro is not
naturally ungrateful, and in this in
stance it ought not to be truthfully said
that We are willing to sting the hard Of

ever been loyal to our cause.

MCkINLEY's first veto was sent to
the House last week. 1t is on bill
to rectify the boundary of the Nevajo
Indian reservation. 1t had passed the
House for the purpose intended of cor
recting a survey which had included a
few ranches belonging to white men.
The Indians favored it. When, how
ever, the bill reached the Senate, the
lobbyists thought they detected the
form OF grimalkin under the meal.
1t was surmised that the reservation
contained gold, and that the innocent
looking bill was in reality device to
cover up selfish and sinister intent.
SO an amendment was tackled on,
opening up a part Of the reservation
under the mining laws, although no
evidence had been submitted to prove
that the land had any mineral depos-
its upon it. The Presidents act to
checkmate this exhibition of greed
was timely and proper.

IT seems that the British govern
ment has about as difficult task in
the censorship of war news as it has
in capturing or conquering the refrac-
tory Boer. A London dispatch OF the
4th inst. shows that the tone of pub
lished dispatches was a matter of pro-
longed controversy between the war
Office and the officers in the field.
This verifies the belief that the dis.
patches are diluted and filtered to suit
the English taste before they are " set
