Why NOT An "oPEs DOOR AT WEST PoInI
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 it that the
boy of every species of ancestry save
that of African is permitted to enjoy the
valuable and healthful training fur
nished by these schools? Why is the
black boy alone turned down" and
treated by his owf land worse than an
alienl
Cannot the colored boy pass the re-
quired examination? He passes the
Civil Service and the Census exami-
nations. and successfully undergoes the
tasts necessary to get into Harvard,
Yale, and other institutions of the
highest character. Is the question of
"social equality" the barrier Social
equality in public school or public
office is myth. The relations be-
tween the participants in governmental
privileges or functions smack no more
of the social than the intercourse that
happens every day in the transaction
of business each attends to his own
affairs and goes his way, each free to
be agreeable personally to such as may
suit bis particular fancy. This habit

The republican press doesn't like
the idea OF holding receptions AMI
honoring the Boer commissioners
to this country, because it hurts our
friendly relations with England. In
1851, after the Russian army under
Paskiewitch and his $4,000 Russians
had come to the help of the Austri-
ans and crushed the Hungarian re-
bellion. the noble Kossuth, the cele-
brated Hungarian patriot, escaped
and went..to England. He was the
guest of prominent officials, he was
received everywhere with great de-
monstrations, and wherever he spoke
he deliverediferce philippics against
Austria and Russia, with which ma
tions England was at peace. The
prescribed rebel then went to Ame1i-
ca from Southampton, where he ad-
vocated war with Russia. Here is
what happened to him in the United
States:
Dec, 5, 1S51-Guest OF New York
and reviewed military parade.
Dec 12-Entertained by the corpo-
ration of:.New York.
Dec. 15-Entertained by the press
of New York.
Dec. 19-Dined by the bar of New
York.
Dec. 20-Reception at Henry Ward
Beecher's church.
Dec. 23-26-Guest of Philadelphia.
Reception at Independence Hail..
Dec. 27-28-Reception at Balti-
more.
Dec. 30-In Washington. Met at
depot by committee of United States
senator's. Guest of honor at a re-
ception given by President Fillmore.
Received formal invitation to visit
both houses OF congress and did so.
Was guest at Congressional dinner,
kossuth vas received with great
honor in every American city he
visited, and he made speeches
against Russia and Austria, nations
friendly to the United States, every
where.
What contrast to the official
treatment of the Boer commission
ers? But times have changed since
then. Then it was not strange that
the administration should svm-
pathize with struggling peoples
now it is impractical and wrong.
