II is now an established fact that
there are two schools OF thought with
In the Negro American race OF this
country The lines have been clearly
drawn and men and women within the
race have taken their positions ~
specting the questions which affect the
life and destiny OF their people. Both
Of these schools OF thought claim to
be tending toward the same American
ideal. One OF these schools Of thought

principles are most clearly stated by
the Niagara Movement, the other 10

views are set forth Ia the addresses

Conspicuous In point OF effective
ness in the ranks Of the two schools
Of thinkers are some OF our ablcst
women. As the highest types OF those
who stand for the ideals Of DIR. Dubois
We name Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook
and Miss Maude A. Trotter. With DR..
Washington's school Of thinkers we
name Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams
and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell.

They are moving on toward the unit

In the other school OF thought are
Mrs. Terrell and Mrs. Williams. Mrs.
Williams has the acutest intellect OF
any woman in the race bupt lacks the
strength and range possessed by Mrs.
Cook She writes keenly but lacks the
courage shown by Miss Trotter. But
she ably defends her position, and the
chief exponent Of the school which be-
lieves in the material foundation first.
She maintains, and ably, too, that her
school OF thought is moving on toward
the ideal which was the dream Of the
early fathers. She has chosen her part
and, naster a. ahe u oe pen and
tongue. defends her position with all
the power and force OF misdirecied
genius. Mrs. Terrell. public lecturer
and speaker, writer, teacher, thinker
and defender Of the school OF thought
with which she has taken her part. Is
our most aggressive spirit among ouI
women. is endowed with courage
which never wavers and possesses the
keenest political power. She wins
where others fail. where others would
not dare TO tread The end is what she
seeks. and in her effort to attain unto

resistless energy She has cast her
lot. Mrs. Terrell and Mrs. Williams
have chosen their part; they are NOV

God.
We have given you this picture TO
show tha, the future lies very largely
in the result OF the views held by our
women. We have shown you their
creeds and we ask which have chosen

Independent Of this group mentioned
above is DR.. A. V. Gray, the proprietor
Of the Fountsin Pharmacy, the leading
drug store OF the country operated by
colored people. She is woman OF
rare artistic gifts and social graces
and is one OF our most brilliant women.
The S. Coleridge Taylor Society, one
OF the best musical organizations in
the country, was made SO and sus-
tanned in large part by Mr.. A. s. Gray
and his wife Mrs. A. V, Gray. Mrs.
Gray has contributed much to the race
by her example Of business life. She
repudiates the "fallacy OF the nearer

forces for a common good. She takes

Last week we stated that We would
give some quotations from the sayings
OF Chancellor. superintendent OF the
public schools of the District of Co
lumbia. We are compelled to post
pone the publishing of these sayings
but will comment upon the trip of this
man to the South to study educational
methods for the Negro schools.
Dr. Chancellor need not so South
to study anything for the Negro. The
Negro OF the Capital wants and is
OF right entitled to all that is given
the whites, no more, no less. This trip
means, in short, that industrial edu-
cation is TO be forced down the Negro's
throat, here at the Capital. Chancellor,
however much he may try to show to
the contrary. indicates by this trip that
he means, with the sanction of the
school board. 10 fasten an industrial
system upon the colored people, while
maintaining the present standard for
the whites. This is manifestly unjust
and. we think. illegal. Beyond the
question OF the inherent injustice OF
the proposed plan. however, it is in
expedient and impracticable, because
the environment does not warrant in
dustrialization.
Superintendent Chancellor may feel
that the colored schools need special
attention. but he can hardly get any
information which will be OF use To
him in those states which give less
than 50 per capita per year for the
education of the Negro youth.
When Superintendent Chancellor
came to Washington he was heralded
as great educator who needed no
suggestions from anybody; now he
goes into the old slave states for
ideas for the advanced schools Of the
Capital. Such step is an Insult to
every honest citizen in the District ot

lined today by counsel for walter II.
Foss of Machas, who was indicted in
the United States district court for

The defence was that the goods.

had been sold previously to the making
OF the assignment and were stored
awaiting the arrival of the sloop.
Counsel said Foss is uneducatod and
can do little more than write his CWn
name. His wholesale business extend
ed over Washington county and to a
number of New Brunswick towns.

his three stores did wholesale and
retail business Of 0,G00. but he kept
no accounts and could not tell what

also for a temporary injunction and
receiver pending the trial, was ilied To-
dav in the United States circuit court
The bill was brough by Henry b.
SNYDER of New York. who organized

Paris, Feb. 13.-Count Boni De Cas-
tellane had a long conference today
with the lawyers of the countess, his
wife. This was one of the several
meetings at which the two parties con-
cerned have carefully gone over the
financial features of the case with the
view OF determining the exact form of
the future procedure and ultimate de-
cree. in the meantime the countess
bill of complaint is being prepared but
has not yet been filed as the form will
depend upon the pending conference
over financial affairs.
Ii these are satisfactory adjusted the
countess bill of complaint is likely to
be materially modified SO as to contain
only incompatibility or other grounds
within the statute but a voiding allie

Heated Argument Over the
forti6Cation Bill.
Lax Methods Of Expenditure and
Philippine Naval Station
Come in for Criticism...pIan for Safeguard
ing All Money Outlay.

Washington, Feb. 13--The fortifica-
ti0ns appropriation bill held the atten-
ton Of the House today and was the
text for considerable heated argument,
first over the lax methods of eXpendi
turc of public moneys and second over
the location of the proposed $4,000, 900
naval station for the Philippines.
Mr.. Gillespie, Texas, made an uusuc-
cessful attempt to get into the record
4 statement Of grievances Of the coal
operators and shippers of Pennsylva-
mia and the Democratic leader Mr..
Williams, inaugurated a filibuster over
the question Of adjournment as re-
taliaticn.
Smith. Iowa, in charge of the fortiti-
cations bill, advanced the idea of vital
izin2 10 Of the committees Of the House
charged with supervision of eXpendi-
lures in the various government de-
partments. He advocated an amend
ment to the rules which will compel
reports from these committees annual
ly. these reports to be the result of in
vestigation regarding government eX-
penditures. He urged this rs prevent
ative of "burea ucracy" towards which
he saw present tendency.
Gillespie. Tex, offered what he said
was "privilcged" resolution calling
on the postmaster general to furnish
the House at his earliest convenience
a comparative statement showing the
cost of the government for transport
ing the mails per ton per mile by the
railroads and the cost of transporting
express matter per ton per mile.
Payne said the resolution was not
privileged because it would entail an
investigation that the postmaster gen.
cral could not be presumed to have
information as to express rates
Gillespie held that If the postmaster
general did not have the information
OF hand he would simply report that
fact.
Speaker Cannon ruled that the reso-
lutlon was not privileged which pre-
vented its further consideration The
House then took up the fortification
appropriation bill! with an agreement
TO limit the debate to three and one
half hours. The bill carries a total of
$4,s36993, which is 81 190S, 800 less than
the current appropriation and less
than half the amount asked for. The
details of the bill were explained by
Smith. Ia.
Siilltn made suggestion which clio
lled volley of questions. He had re-
viewed the annual expenditures of the
government amounting to something
IKE $S0o,OOoOOO, and said that While
each department had its own auditors
Congress had no Independent and de-
ta'ied information as to these expeadi-
lures.
The 10 House committees on exnen.
diturcs in the different departures he
suggested ought to be vitalized by an
amendment of the rules and required
TO make detailed reports annually
With such reports. he predicted there
would be fewer oil paintings of ex-
cabinet officers purchased out of con-
tingent funds.
