SCHOOL SCANDAL AGAIN.

Editor Colored American: I gener-
ally agree with your views on ques-
tions of deep interest to the race, but
in your last weeks issue appeared an
article on the coIored schools of the
District that leads me to believe you
have been imposed upon. Every child
in the Armstrong Manual Training and
NJ Street High School is aware of the
scandals connected with these hOt-beds
for gossip, mismanagement, incompe-
tency, immortality, and general cussed-
ness on the part of teachers and pupils,
is freely discussed and commented
upon all over town. 1t seems impOs-
sibIe that with your opportunities for
information you are unaware of this
condition. Charges have been filed,
am told with General Boynton, Presi-
dent of the Board of Education, by re
putable citizens, who desire purity,
competency and morality in our public
schools. If the teachers are not quail
fed for their positions put others in
that are. If their conduct is reprehen-
sible promptly see to it that they are
dismissed. Weed out and clean out
the bad and useless, and let our schools
be UP to a standard that will permit
us to speak of them with pride and
not with burning cheeks and a feeling

NEGROES BARRED.

The st. Louis Advance said last week
that it had been reliably informed that
President D. r. Francis said that no
color line would be drawn at the
Worlds Fair grounds. Last Thurs
day a representation of the American
Eagle visited the grounds, and was re-
fused a ticket or seat in an automo-
bile and was told plainly that colored
people were not allowed to ride in
their cOnveyances. A neatly-dressed
.cOlOred man stepped to the counter of
the little soda water stand, and, in
very polite manner, asked to be served
with glass of soda water. He was
refused and was informed that they
did not serve Negroes. This little
stand is near the automobile office. 1t
is a humiliating insult, and d disgrace
in the eyes of the civilized world, for
the United States to give five millions
of dollars to a prejudiced, narrow
minded enterprise that will openly Of
fer insult to ten millions of its most
loyal citizens. The color line is tight
ly and insultingly drawn within the
grounds of the Worlds Fair, and the
indications are that colored American
will not be able to get a glass of cold
water inside the grounds unless he
carries it inside with him.-The Amer

OUR CITIZEN RIGHTS.

If the Negro vote had been eIimina-
ted in the last two Presidential eIec-
tions the result would have been the
same. Large majOrities are inimical to
the political welfare of the Northern
Negro, and cause Indifference as to his
conditions South Notwithstanding the
fact that during the past eight years
the executive and both branches of
Congress have been Republican, no
action has been taken regarding the
notification of the Foltrteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments, and democratic
States do not hesitate to take away
from the Negro rights guaranteed to
him by the Constitution thereby max
ing the vote of one white man in the
South equal to the votes of five, eight
or ten white or black men in the
North. According to the last census
there were sc, ,4O6 Negro voters in Mary
land. Every republican victory in that
State was due to the Negro vote. 1t
Maryland has joined the sisterhood Of
the Solid South. Kentucky with its
74,728 Negro voters will follow the eX-
ample of Maryland, and be indefinitely
lost to the republican party. The cleo
tion of every republican President
from Grant to Harrison was, due to
the Negro vote, and it was only when
the people put the stamp of popular
disapproval upon Bryan and his
''isms" that this element was not an
important factor.
We are rapidly approaching another
Presidential Election. 1t is almost
certain that the standard-bearers of
the two great contendins parties will
be President Roosevelt and Judge Par
ker. They are both from the Empire
State whose vote made Mr.. Cleveland
President, and is zealously sought by

both parties as an important quantity
in determining the result of every
national election.
Mr.. Low, as mayor of New York City,
studiously ignored the coIored voter in
the distribution of patronage. He was
defeated for reelection and Tammany
came into power. A number of colOred
men were appointed to important and
good paying positions. While principle
rather than Office actuates a large ma
jOrity Of voters, party managers real
ize and recognize the fact that cam
paigns run on sentiment are generally
unsuccessful and that those active in
bringing about victory must share in
the results.
"A black face no longer indicates a
republican vote, and while large num-
ber are tenacious in their loyalty to
the party of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield
and Harrison, there is a marked feeling
of unrest and indifference generally,
and a detection in New York City that
calls for the serious consideration of
thoughtful leaders.
Shrewd democratic leaders are using
every means to shake the allegiance Of
the Northern blacks, and unless the re-
pUblicans are alive to the situation and
meet this effort promptly and system
matically, serious inroads may be
made among these most important
allies
There will be no wave of Mckinley
ism this year. 1t is said ''the republi-
cans fight best when they are scared
or mad" No one acquainted with the
situation doubts the stubbornness and
determination with which the demo-
cratic party will contest every foot of
ground. It should be impressed upon
every black voter that he is only safe
when inside the republican lines, and
that while the party has been some
what neglectfuI of his interests, he
cannot afford by his apathy or assist
ance to help a party into power that
has deprived his people in the South of
their rights, opposed their advance
ment, curtailed their privileges, and
under all circumstances since the war
has occupied the position of a bitter
and uncOmprOmising enemy.
