quest for the appropriation OF s1O,50U
for the support Of dependent colored
children at the Hart Farm School, un-

to the superintendent of charities. Prof.
Hart is doing a splendid work at his
agricultural school, and is reclaiming
from degradation boys that will by
and by be an honor to the race. The
appropriation is reasonable and should
be allowed.

Editor The Colored American, Sir
| have just received today's issue OF
your paper and find in it an outrage
ous and wholly upjustifable article
against Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., LII.
D., president Of Howard Unive rsity.
am not only surprised but PANIED be-
yond measure that man Of your good
sense usually should see fit 10 join Ne
gro'hating sheet IN this city in an ef'
fort to destroy the institution standing
foremost in this land for helping the
colored people to higher level OF cul
ture and character; and in woundlng
the devoted bosom of the best and brav'
est and truest friend that the cclored
people have in this republic today. No
one knows better than yourself that
the shameful attacks upon Howard Uni
versity and Its good aid great president
proceed from unworthy and ignobIe
motives of envious, disgruntled place
seekers, and yet you have allowed your
columns to be used as means of spread
ing this venom, to the prejudice Of col
ored youth in our whole republic.
II the very persons now ingaged in
promuIgating these unfair criticisms Of
the administration of Howard Univer-
slty were given charge Of that or any
other great public interest, they would
wreck it in month.
You, yourself, would not be willing
to trust your interest in their hands for
single moment. l doubt whether
your paper Will ever be able to undo
the positive injury and hurt to the best
interests Of the colored people done by
your paper In giving aid and comfort
to these attacks upon the best living
friends Of our people. I have subscribed
for two copies OF your paper, and paid
you four dollars in advance for the same
l do not wish the paper sent either to
my school or myself any longer, and
hereby direct you to cancel my sub
scription. I have paid you from time
to time within the last year from eigh'
teen to thirty dollars for work done by
your paper: shall have no more such
work for you in the future. So you
Zee it is apt to cost you something to
thus assail the noblest friend Of our
people. Yours,

Ministerial Approval.
The Russian Government has decided
to adopt the metre standards of
weights and measures, and the minis.

time and manner Of Introducing them.
The unit of measurement In Russia has
long been the British foot, but the 9th
err denominations of length are peculiar
to the country, as, for example, the
verst. which Is 1868 of a mile. The
country will now abandon all It's own
denominations of weight and measure
ments In favor of the metric system.
About two-thrids of the people liv.
ing under the Christian governments
now use the metric system, 70,0OO,0O0

country 100000 are authorized by
law to transact their business by metric

These facts show the drift of sentl-

probable that the systems now In use
in this country and Great Britain
would be cOmpulsorily abandoned
without long previous notice, because
so violent transition TO new system
must, for some time, work much con
fusion. But education in the use of the
metric system Is constantly advancing,
and the system is being adopted in an
increasing number of manufacturing
establishments. one Of the best means
OF fitting the public for the change is TO
drill our schOolboys so thoroughly in
the practical use OF metric standards
that they may esally employ them
when in few years they enter upon
business careers.
