They complain that there is | no money and no democratic electoral ticket for them to vote. and, in point of fact, little for them to do. Gov.

At the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, col- ored, this morning the sixth biennial meeting of the movable committee of the L O. 0.

District Commissioner Douglass was then in- | troduced and delivered the following address of welcome. He said: ME. DOUGLASS’ SPEECH OF WELCOME. Gentlemen of the convention: It becomes my duty and pleasure very frequently to” extend the welcome of the people of this city and dis- trict to visiting associations from the various states, Two weeks since we entertained not than a quarter of a million of citi- zens and veterans. While it involved | 4 rent preliminary labor formulated by the citizens’ committee, i: was a great pleasure to all when the event happened. With like fecl- ings of hospitality and welcome I greet you to- day, and most sincerely trust that your visit may be of a most agreeable character, with nothing but pleasant memories succeeding. Your order is primarily, understand, of 9 charitable nature. And if any class of peopie | on the face of the earth can consistently organize such an institution it is the colored citizens of this country. If charity is the chiefest of the virtues, ax the Scriptures alle; evidencing its exixtence by suffering all things, | hoping all things and being _ patient, | then the 5, of colored peo- | in this country from 1861 to 1865 exemplified as was never before known in the history of the race that great Christian virtue. And this without concert or arrangemen’ simply upon their admirable traite of faith? ness to life-long associations and universal kindliness. To the world, for its accepted his- | tory now, this was ax wonderful and unpre-| cedented ‘as it was admirable. | Your people have many advantages here in | the matter especially of common school educa- tion, The colored schools of the District are pro- | vided with a high school building that is co modions and elegant, one that would be an or- nament to the school system of any city in the land, They have twenty-one fine buildings for lower | grades in the city and fourteen in the county, each of which is suited to the needs of the lo- | cality, in ail giving a total of 229 rooms for the accommodation of pupils below the High School. The whole enrollment of colored pupils for the year ending June 30, 1892, was 14,490. i ‘The ealuries of teachers for the ame year amounted to $181,068, the number of teachers | being 283." | The colored schools are managed by the same board of truxtees as the white schools, and are in all respects on the same footing as tho white schools. ‘The schools rank favorably with the white schools and are a continual source of pride to the District and city. ‘The fundamental law of the school svatem in this District require a pro | rata division of the public moneys for | school purposes in enumeration of the white and colored children. This _ prevents injustice, while the colored members (3) of the board of trustees are there, as well us the white members, to see that the law is obeyed. But one thing ought to be said. I hope that the parents of the colored children of the city will give it practical and early attention.
