TO THE BOARD OF CHARITIES.
Senate Bill No, 80 to provide Home
for Aged and Infrm Colored People.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen;:
Upon this subject you act for the
Commissioners. This makes the fourth
time this subject was referred TO the
Commissioners for examination and re-
port; the last time, Colonel Tracy, the
Superintendent of Charities, acted for
the Commissioners.
In the Fifty-second Congress | ap-
peared before the Commissioners upon
this subject, and it was decided as to
the money, the Commissioners had no
jurisdiction over. and as to the institu-
tiou they had no objections; it was
claimed that We had $1,000 colored peo-
pie in this city and no institution, and
therefore we needed one, and it went
back to Congress with their favorable
recommendation and passed. 1t was al
so decided that an institution built out
of the peoples money could not become
1 charge upon the local nor the gen
eral government; that they were run
by Christian people, just as the church
es, and therefore the Government could
not interfere, only to see that they car
ried out the law i'll accordance with
their own corporation, but in this case
we agree that the Commissioners shall
have supervision over the investment
Of this fund, and also the plans and
specifications and contracts for the work
shall have the approval of the Com
miss;oners, and after the institution is
completed, the Commissioners shall have
the right to see that the association
governs the institution in accordance
with its own government
We submit two questions for your
recommendation We wish you would
recommend that we need such an insti-
tuition and that there is no objection
for us to use our own money III the
erection of an Institution, as this is a
board which serves without compensa-
ton. We would be very thankful to
have all the support you can give us in
securing the passage of the bill, and
also in the erection of an institution.
The secrtary in his annual report to
the Fifty-second Congress, recommend
ed that the money was justly due to the
colored people and should be used for
the benefit of the race either for edu
cational or charitable purpose, and We
all agree that a proportion of it should
be used for the erection of an institu-
ton and for the establishment of an
industrial farm for the maintenance OF
the institution.

they yShse no opportunity to criticise his
acts and asperse his character. Agreeing
with them, concerning the value of agi-
rluon to rectify wrongs, and uncom-
promisingIy demanding for the Negro
equal civil and political rights, /, never
thelcss, protest against the unfair spirit
OF their attacks upon Mr.. Washington.
To my mind it betrays a personal ami
mostly and distorted vision.
This condition of things, beginning
with a lawless attempt TO Interfere with
free sp, ech in a public meeting, which
eliminated in the arrest Of the ring
leader, as reached the proportion of
scandal, grieving many steadfast friends
OF the racy. Affecting to see in Mr.. !
Washington's recens address at the
Whittier celebration in Amesbury indi-
cations of veering in the direction IA
vored by the paper in question, the edi-
tor thus insult.ngly declares: In all
of his speeches we have noticed the
hogging which it has been our painful
duty to infict many a time and off,"
In the number of the paper contain
ing these words, | was made inferen-
tally to appear in harmony with such
an attitude, detached quotations from
Mr.. Washington and myself being print
ed in contrast, and with the prominent
headlines: William. Lloyd Garrison VS..
Booker T. Washington" Disclaiming
the antagonism, and expressing my /
plain opinion of the proceeding, l wrote
a dissenting letter to the editor. As
its publication was refused, l am con-
strained to give it publicity through
other chnnels. Excepting the introduc-
tory paragraph, the following is sub
stantially the rejected communication:
The assumption that such critics are
actuated by a superior fidelity to prin-
ciple is unwarranted. Had Mr.. Wash
ingtOn ever betrayed a purpose to sac
rifce principles for the prosperity of
MS hlsnuuon, these frequent attacks
upon him by members of his race would
be Ineligible But upon the two dis
tinct points Of censure - those limiting
the Negro to industrial pursuits and an
indifference to the suffrage - he speaks
with no uncertain sound. He sets no
metes or bounds to the Negroes aspira-
ton for learning, nor does he acqui-
esce in the annulment of the Fifteenth
While naturally giving
emphasis to the particular field which
Tuskegee covers, he is careful to de-
mand for the race every right conceded
TO white fellow-citizens.
There is cruelty in these aspersions

never 10 allow encouragement TO blind
him to the real signs of promise, and
to preserve serenity and poise that are
a marvel to his friends and a confusion
10 his enemies. What unusual qualities
meet and blend in one capable of such
achievement
How easy for colored men with ac-
ademic advantages, secure in the strong
hold of anti-slavery sentiment to af-
feet disdain and indulge in bitter
speech! 1t costs nothing and is no ev-
idence of courage. Where an occa-
sionaI Office is tossed to a colored man
by way Of reward for political service,
how quickly, as is the case with the
white offceholder, do circumspection
end subServience oyertake him. He may
be eloquent in denouncing the rendi-
ton of fugitive slaves when the law
demanded it, and yet evince no scruple
IN helping to deport poor Cinnamon for
the crime of seeking larger opportun-
ity and freedom in Boston. And a SAL
aried position under the city govern
ment insures his support of a corrupt
administration. Yet Booker T. Wash
ington is held to an ideal standard
which not one of his critics would ever
dream of realizing in the same situa-
ton.
To twist my statement of expressed
conviction into an intended reproach on
this leader of his race is to convey a
false impression. I appreciate the diff
cultles which encompass him. | wonder
at his patience. wisdom, courage and sa-
gaciy. For myself, with no restraint
of speech, save those of fealty to truth
and the requirements of justice, l am
able to WELD a free lance. He, On the
contrary, lives in 4 region where a whis-
per at times precipitates the avalanche.
That he is permitted to declare himself
with the frankness that he does is only
expllcable on the ground that his sim
cere purpose and upright character COM
Pei public respect and confidence.
But, however the colored people may
differ with each other regarding meth
ods and policies, there is room enough
for all to help in the regensratlng work
without the unsesmly strife that divides
and weakens their efforts. Personally
/ beg to be spared further employment
of my words to discredit one who in
the consideration of the thinking civ
ilized world, is the most remarkable
living American, black or white, and to
whom both races owe an immessurable
debt"

JUDGE JUST HEARS
OF MUZZLING RULE
Mullowny Informed Today
of Commissioners Order
of Early Summer.

Judge Mullowny, Of the Police Court,
didn't know until today Of the order
TO muzzle the dogs.
OF course, he may have heard il ru-
mOred that the President several months
ago intiT1ated that il would not be dis
pleasing to him TO see all the dogs muz-
zled. also il may have come 10 his
ears that the Commissioners issued
such al rider. but ne did not hear about
it officially.
Judge MullOwny probably would have
remained in ignorance of the regulation
were it not for David L. Jones. who re-
Gently addressed to the Commissioners
a pertinent inquiry concerning the rights
Of a policeman to keep an unmuzzled
dog. mentioning a crossing officer whom.
he alleges. has failed to obey the muz-
Zling regulation.
The letter was referred 10 Captain
Mathews, of the Fifth precinct. In re-
ply, that official informed the Commits
that Judge MUllOwny, in dismissing the
owner Of an unlicensed dog recently. re-
marked that he was in Official ignorance
concerning the order governing the
case.
Inspector Boardman. therefore. recon-
mended that the judges OF the Police
Court be furnished with copies OF the
Commissioners proclamation. Acting
on this recommendation. the Commits
Sioners today addressed to Judge Mul-
lowry an official communication inform
ing !iim that in the early summer they
issued by request an order muzZlirg the
