GUARDIANS ATTACK REPLIED
PROF. EPPE'S DENOUNCES THE BRUTAL
CARTOON OF \ BOSTON UPSTART.

The following sturdy defense of
Governor Aycock, and caustic criti-
cism of tile pueriJe methods of the
Boston Guardian, appeared in the
Washington Post of September 1st.
The South is the natural home OF
the Negro, and it is here that he is
making rapid strides along the high
ways of human endeavOr. He is not
without friends in this land of cotton,
corn, peas, and potatoes. Booker I.
Washington has been made the target
Of a Northern Negro maligner, because
he dared give the southern Negro the
advice necessary to his proper sub
Stantial develOpment-socia moral,
and material Hence | am not sur
)rised at the maligning seekers after
lotoriety, when they, without seeking
o find the facts, injure the best Negro
.itiZen in this section by insulting the
OeSt white citizens. Our Governor has
)een cartoOned by some irresponsible
lothead in Boston, Massachusetts. The
cradle of liberty for the slave, has
been dishOnOred by a brutal attack
made on our distinguished Governor.
It is in the interest Of North Carolina
Negro children that | write to The
Post and denOunce the Guardian as
base caluminiator and an enemy OF
zeal Negro progress.
The Governor of North Carolina has
shown a disposition not OnIy to pro-
ect Negro citizens, but to give them
very chance for proper development.
)ur A. and NJ. College, seven Normal
;choOIs for the training of Negro
eachers, the large number of graded
schools, and the thousands Of district
schools show what is being done.
While the cartOOnist was making his
brutal attack upon the Governors
administration of justice, he was
)Ieading with white men in Central
North Carolina to protect the educa-
ional facilities of the black children
Of the State. Our Governor is inspir-
ing the Negro to seek the highest
ideals of character. 1t will be a sad
lay for us when the separation Of the
rest in each race takes place. Thous-
mus or white men, with white hearts,
ire doing what they can to help us
liOnS all lines of human endeavor.
rhe Boston Guardian may better un-
lerstand where the seIt-respecting and
property holding Negro stands by

.eigh, with constituency or 1885, 900
The writer knows well the senti-
nent among white men IN this section,
md therefore he begs the sensation
lists to cease meddlng with the af-
airs c.Iat concern Negroes in this
State, unless they mean to follow the
ines laid out in Atlanta. A campaign
for the education Of every white and
black child has been carried on with
great earneStneas by white men of
southern birth, and not without effect.
rhe present week finds many teach
hrs' Institutes in session conducted by
eminent Negro educators, and white
men of character and ability are as
sociated in conducting Lnese institu-
tiOns. The black citizen mas pride
and love for the native heath, there
fore l can speak truthfully and say
that the Negro teachers of Coastal
North Carolina repel the attack of the
Guardian of Boston

THE LAST FAUST"

Gounod's Faust last night had its fifth repre-
sentaton in the season of opera at the Metropoli-
tan which viii to a close to-day The
charming French septimentalist has not been so
much in evidence usual this year. There were
many Marguertes in Mr.. Graus company as
there are prima donna sopranos. but the weeks
were but eleven. and there were many operas prom
ised, many more than given-a fact which
may be chronicled without dispraise of Mr.. Grau,
whose production Of twenty-five operas. including
two absolute novelties borders on the miraculous.
Could the complete statistics of the season be
piled, they would doubtless make up a chapter of
operate history tenfold remarkable than any
thing contained in the memoirs of Ebers Lumley.

Gounod's opera performed last night with an
admirable distribution of parts-Mme. Eames as
Marguerite Miss Bridewell Siebel. Mr.. Alvarez
as Faust Mr. Campanari as Valentin and Mr. De
Reszke as MephistOpheles The audience was as
numerous the house could lawfully hold, and all
the favorites were rapturousy acclaimed.

China In a period of forty years, These volumes
are under seven heads In the first division is the
Confucian Canon, the great book Of the Chinese
nation. The nine great works of Chinese literature
must be learned by heart by the Chinese under
graduates. Each succeeding Chinese dynasty
writes the history of the previous dynasty. Even

records The Cambridge library contains all these
dynastic histories bound in A6 volumes, each a

Many Of the things which modern people think
