There is a movement in baltimore J,


There is q movement in Baltimore to
utilize the old shot tower, which is SO
familiar a landmark in the Monumental
city, somewhat after the manner in which
the Statue of Liberty. at the entrance
OF New York harbor. is made to serve q
practical purpose. The idea is to place
on the top Of the tower statue of the
city Of Baltimore, from, the head os
which shall blaze powerful electric
light that may be visible fifty miles down

modelled after a female figure, it is to
be surmounted by crown, and from the
crown is TO flash the beacon light.

off and for which service private mail

zens.
The postmistress of Indianola. coIored

position, recognizing that she was persona
| non grata to the community and bei,ev-
ing that her life was IN danger. re-
signed. The authorities at Washington
declined to receive her resignation, but
| closed the Office. It is understood. how
ever. that when the people of the vicinity
satisfy the negro postmistress that she
will not be harmed OF made uncomforta-
BILE. the Office will be reopened.
The Office at Indianola seems to be
maintained chiefly for the benefit of this
Minnie Cox. The wonder is that the con-
dition precedent to the reopening Of the
office does not require the Inhabitants Of
the town to march up to Minnie one by
one and make apologies and promise fu-
ture good behavior.
This matter has been deemed Of sufti-
Client importance to receive the attention
Of the President and Cabinet The order
that went out to close the Office emanated
from them. and must be considered as
bearing not only upon this case but as
being the established policy OF the ad-
mlnistration. 1t is one OF the results Of
the Booker T. Washington dinner and
other such functions" It is not in the
interest of harmony between the races.
and we do not believe it will prove to be
promotire OF the advancement Of the ne
gro In the South. 1t is of piece with
the enfranchisement of the negro Just af-
ter the war.
This course of the Presidents also
means. We take it, that he is more than
ever determined that it shall be known
that he is opposed to the formation of a,
lily white party in the South. He can't
stand up for negro women's rights and
fail to stand UP for negro mems rights
in the Republican party.
