people, very proper request is made
that the council avoid the discussion of
political and religious subjects in a
manner that might give offence to any

prevent the meeting from being di.
yerted to the purposes Of a party ma.

Why NOT Az "oPEN DOOR At WEST Pofnr
AND ANNAPOLIS?

The recent appointment of a large
batch OF cadets for the military acad
emy at West Point and the naval
academy at Annapolis emphasizes the
fact that color is absolutely wanting in
those great institutions. These schools
are putatively for all the people. and
are supported out of the general treas.
ury, intO which the taxes of the black
and white, rich and poor citizen are
alike gsthered. Why is il that the
boy OF every species of ancestry save
that OF African is permitted to enjoy the
valuable and healthful training fur
nifhed by these schools? Why is the
black boy alene turned down" and
treated by his owrf land worse than an
alien?
Cannot the colored boy pass the re
quired examination? He passes the
Civil Service and the Census exami-
nations. and successfully undergoes the
tests necessary to get into Harvard,
ale, and other institutions of the
highest character. Is the question of
social equality" the barrier, Social
equality in a public school or public
office is myth. The relations be
