JUDGE MIFLIN W. GIBBS.

The recent marriage of the daughter
of Judge Mi1in w Gibbs, of Arkan-
sas, to U. S. Consul William H. Hunt,
calls attention to the brides father in
most striking way Nothing could
have better emphasized the splendid
success of this remarkable man than
every feature of that occasion. The
present Of $1,000 to the bride was a
repetition Of a like gift which he made
to both of his daughters a few years
ago. Aside from all of this the
children of Judge Gibbs have received
a splendid education in the best Of
schools. His family has always been
one Of the most prominent in the
country. Judge Gibbs himself took
part in the anti-slavery agitation. He
was one Of the pioneers to California,
probate Judge in Arkansas during re-
construction days, Receiver Of Public
Moneys at Little Rock, U. S. Consul
to Madagascar, and several times dele
gate at large from his state to Repub-
lican Convention. He has always been
high in the councils of his party and
prominent in all movements looking
to the betterment Of his race. May

be with us for many years to come,

ative drivel regarding the installation
of DR.. Gordon, the new president of
Howard University. This news scaY-
enger insinuates that the colored peO-
pie were slowed away in the side allies
under the gallery, the body of the
church being reserved for the whites
That there was a disposition to ignore
and belittle our people, and that the
occasion was a pronounced frost. His
conclusions indicate the real purpose
of the article, viz: That if such con-
ditiOns exist, this race institution
should have a colored, instead of a
white president-what then? Why
Boston will furnish the man. Howard
University has no need for intellectual
tramps. The men in charge are ably
qualified to manage its affairs, and
mis-statement of facts from a moth

contempt for his mendacity and SYM
pathy for those who read his idle

LETS HANG TOGETHER.

We must refer again to the lack of
organization among the 10000 colored
people of the District of Columbia.
They are not united on any one thing.
They are as divided as the winds.
They do not understand that organiza-
tion-intelligent organization-means
power. The eighty odd churches
Ccolored) in the District, are dumb on
the subject of race rights. And the
masses, as we'll as the classes, seem
blind or Indifferent to the fact that the
Negro is Disseminated against on all
hands, and that his only safeguard
and protection is in patriotic, intelli-
gent organization. A house divided
against itself cannot stand, is an old
saw. There is need of some central
organization here, such as a Negro
Business League, a Negro Board of
Trade or some organization wherein
the intelligent men of the race can
come together on one platform in de-
fense not only of the rights, but of the
immunities of the race as we'll The
race has never had the opportunity
that it has now to organize itself in a
commercial way and to control the
thousands of dollars that are being
spent each day by the colored people
It would mean employment for our
young men and for our young women.
1t would mean the deelopment of race
pride. 1t would mean power and the
respect of other races.
