A Coi0red School and Politics

We clip the following from a
correspondent from Pocahontas to
the Mcdowell Herald, paper pub
lished by Mr.. J. A. Brown, colo.ed
man, at Kimball, w. Va:
The citizens of this place are much
wrought up over the alleged actions
of the principal of the Pablo school
Mr.. S. A. Hsnce. AT largely atten-
ded meeting at the Baptist church
many charges we're preferred against
him, one of the most inhuman was
that he had held little boy up by
the feet and whipped him sever ely
that he was unable to attend school
thereafter. Another was the abuse OF
of young girl of Mr.. Morgan's until
she had to have the services of g.
physician. Another charge was that
that he had locked tbe door on the
assistant teachers, Misses Holt and
McOlanahan and refused them ad-
mission to the boildir2. Besides
many other things, but the most ex-
asperatings said was the remark by
MIR. Hance that lit is not the negroes
prerogative to consult me-" Meaning

Jefferson Hotel win Be Rebuilt

The Jefferson Hotel will be rebuilt.
The exclusive announcement in The
Richmond News yesterday concer-
ming the fact that the insurance men
were obtaining estimates for the
rebuilding of the hosiery created
much satisfaction.
"The insurance men told US that
they wanted possession of the bull
ding in order that they might go to
work at once said Mr.. Fry this
morning: "We turned everything
over to them, and they have gone to
work. They have made some arrang-
ement with Mr.. Arents and MIR.
Jefferson concerning the plans for
the rebuilding of the hotel.'
Contractors who are making est.
mates for the work were seen today
and say that the hotel will be built.

SOMEBODY IS RESPONSIBLE.

Reports from Marion say the
Supt rintendent of the Southwestern
Hospital is willing to be Investigated
Certainly the charges against him
are sereOus enough to demand
investigation. They come from a
source which entities them 10 con-

These charges are that the States

is wasted, that the States helpless
and dependent charges suffer from
neglect,
Governor Tyler cannot escape
responsibility by waiting for the bo-
ard OF managers to act. He has full
notice that the board has taken act
ion. The board is itself under
charge of neglect of duty. The
Governor cannot reasonably take
the position that he will bo nothing
until an official body accused of
serious fault meets to try itself.
These people in the Southwestern
Asylum are far from Richmond.
They are shut IN away from their
friends and have no uoice that can
be heard outside the walls of the
instituation. They are hedged in
by an official baIier which has IN

saying Substantially that his own
success or defeat was involved in
that of Mr.. Swanson, will be dam
aging to Mr.. Swanson's chance in
this county. If Mr.. Swanson is out
run and defeated in the race. il will
be mainly owing to the fact of too
much machinery and too many party
leaders with him. Instead OF riding
into the Governorship upon the party
machine gloriously drawn by the
leaders enlisted in his interest he ia
dragging the machine with the dead
weight Of the leaders upon it.
HEAVY HANDICAP.
He was handicapped at the start
by too much help and too many in
tiuential helpers. The Common
people" like to feel that their help IS
needed, and that they are more
depended upon, trusted than party
leaders and party equipments If Mr..
Swanson would say to Mr.. Martin
aud to every other prominent leader
Stand back please and let me win
or lose on my own merits and claims,
he would largely increase his chance

Cs., office and have the privilege
through their trustees Of closing the
doors at any time. We are not sure
what the outcome may be, but too
much has been said already and no
matter what the eudiog is. there will
be many sores to heal. 1t is not the
purpose of your correspondent to
take sides with either, but to report
the facts as they really exist
Here it is again. The colored PEG
pie are having trouble in their school,
They preferred charges against the
Principal, of cruelty to one or two
children, aud demanded OF the
School Board the dismissal of said
Principal. The school board took
little or no notice of the several
peremptory letters written by the
colOred trustees, ouly advising them
to go ahead and not to lose their
school. They (the colored trustees)
promptly closed the doors of the
snhool building, shutting out It's
p0pils. The school board reopeDed
the building and now thee are only
about 30 pupils in attendance. The
true inwardness OF the trouble did
not come Out until the above appear.
ed in print. This "lets the cat out. -
Politics is at the bottom of it. MIR.
Hanse is not a politician and must
go. The white people pay about
5000 and the colored people about
$50 to the colored school fund OF
Pocahontas, nevertheless, the white
board must be controlled by the color
ed trustees, and MIR. Hance, against
whose good character and qualifca-
tons there is not the slightest charge,
must 60.
The spirit of the opposition seems
TO be that Mr.. Hance leans toward
AIR. Baber and Mr.. Baber leans
toward Mr.. Hance, in politics.
Hance is not aggressive in politics
at all-few even know what he is
politically, and this doesn't seem to
SUIT. The truth is, as we have 30
often tried to impress, that politics
has been and will continue to be, the
bane of the colored people until they
are forced. or consent, to withdraw
from the field entirely, Politics is
the prObulum upon which many
colored people especially the leaders
(and many white men) thrive. They
inject politics into every thing the
churches not excepted, always with
injury to themselves and their cause.
a similar case to the above was re
ported at Graham last Fall. Politics
broke up a colored church is in a
certain city in Virginia not long ago.
Let all good colored people and all
white peopls too who wish to help
the race, pay aud work for the day
when the entire colored race will be
no longer butting their brains out
against the solid and rough walls
! of political barriers.

town, which he wishes to exchange
for wool. This stock of woolens

mers, Flannels, Linseys, Yarns, ETC.,
and is guaranteed in every way. DIR.
Greeyer will pay part cash for wool

is the Democratic Party
Doomed (?

Recent interviews with leaulDS
representative democrats ftOm the
South and West, published in north
ern newspapers, intimate strongly
that, if the party is to live and be-
come again powerful before the
people, and maintain its supremacy
in the South, new ISSUES must be
sought, and their propagation put
into the hands of new leaders. 1t
is argued that, the negro question
out of the way: one of the main
links which united the party to the
people in the past, will have been
broken, and the Republican party
become the dominant party in the
South. 1t Is also argued, with equal
plausibility, that large and daily
Increasing number of Southern
business men, Democrats, are in
accord with the Republican prin-
aciples of protection, expansion, the
liberal expenditure of public mou-
les for public improvements, the
extension of our trade into the
Orient, &, which is uhquestIouablv
true, and when the possibility of
g Negro rule us no longer possible
a large number OF Democrats will
be found afliliatlug with the Rep
ublican party.
All this, and more may come to
pass and the Democratic party
will still live, there will still be work
for the party to perform The
Democratic party, as has been truly
said, is the party of the masses,
the Republican, the party of the
classes; the Democratic party, be-
lieves in the man FIRST and money
next The Republican party pats
first, wealth;--the democratic
party, the commonwealth. The lat.
ter sympathises with the "undeI
dog" the latter with the everything
elephant. So long as these con di,
lions exist, just so long will the
voice of Democracy be raised IN
pro5est. SO long as the great
masses are oppressed and driven
like herded cattle, so long will the
arm OF Democracy be raised tC
strike a blow for human freedom
The accumulation of wealth-the
piling up Of gold is the Republican
definition ofprosperity. The true
definition embraces this, perhaps
but adds the right to. an equa
q share in the profits aud emoluments
of the products Of toll. Manhood
and not money, is the shibb letL
of the Democratic party. The par
ty is not "doOmed." Its missio,
