STUOENTS./FOR MORE SCHOOLS. Rev. Dr. Seaton Against Emigration to Africa. PROGRESS MADE BY HIS RACE He Says This Land is Their Home and They Will Remain. REPLY TO BISHOP TURNER. Rev. Dr. D. P. Seaton, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church of Georgetown, last night preached a sensational sermon in answer to Bishop H. M. Turner of the African M. E. Church. Bishop Turner advised the color- ed people to emigrate to Africa. Especial im- port is to be given to Dr. Seaton’s reply,from the fact that he is looming up as a prospec- tive bishop, and holds a very prominent place in the estimation of the colored Americans. Dr. Seaton said: “Bishop Tur- ner has for years been exerting himself in the interest of our race. He has done no- ble work in uplifting us to a plane of He has written an article ad- vising an exodus of colored people. This sentiment has caused our worthy bishop to be handled without gloves by the leading uestioned even by his admirers. He was, | perhaps, drawn to his conclusion without giving prayerful consideration to such a rash step. It would be folly. If his people obeyed him, to his last breath, he could never gain his own pardon. We are ad- vised to emigrate, because, looking into the future, centuries shall come and pass be- fore the black sha}l be accorded those rights which are his. The wrongs which we en- dure are a barbarous blight on civilization, and a curse on this cultured nation. But the remedy is in our hands. Victories are not won by running away. Retreat is a declaration of weakness. African Climate Against Them. “The climate of Africa is against us. Man has a right to live in the country in which he desires to live. There the land is poisonous to us, and the air pregnant with death. Each emigrant would be a candidate for fever. Look at the death list of our missionaries. Government subsidies should not tempt us to go, Bishop Turner declares: that we are poor and ignorant, and that, though free, we have advanced but litue | in intelligence and wealth since we were re- leased from slavery. Such a statement from @ leader of our race is monstrous. He has hurled this statement to the world and in the face of the facts. Our people have been demonstrating their capacity for high- er functions from the morning of their freedom till today. Our schools,our church- es und our publications attest the truth of what I say. We are not a failure; we are a success. If we are a fizzle here,how can we manage a republic in Africa? Let our bish- op turn his eyes to the days of his child- hood, and look for schools and great names of colored people. He would look almost in vain. In those dark days 9% per cent of the colored population in the states of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala- bama, and Louisiana were even ignorant of the alphabet. Now the reverse is nearly true. We have some young people who can- , but the southern whites must ac knowledge a similar deficiency, despite their greater opportunities. The worthy bishop overestimates the number of blacks in the land, and underestimates the number who have made advancement. He did not con- sider sufficiently the subject upon which he (essayed to write. At the close of the war not } per cent of our race could read God's By the census of 1880, 30 per cent of read and write. That was a fair gain in nineteen years, and in the thirteen years which have passed since that census our gain has been in greater ratio. In 1881, according to the Budget the col- ored churches had an enrolled member- ship ef 1,688,591. We have over 7,000 pastors and 16,000 local preachers and exhorters. In our schools we have over one million en- rolled puptls and 2486 teachers. It is reas- onably estimated that the value of the col- ored church property is $16,310,441, and the total value of the property possessed by the colored race of America is set down at $263,000,000.. Having these facts before us, and remembering the deep and pitiless pov- erty and ignorance in which centuries of slavery left us, I ask any fair-minded man if we have not made commendable progress in thirty years? Property Involved. What would become of our property should we emigrate? We could not realize 50 per cent on it. The Hebrews left Egypt en God’s word that they would find a Jand of promise and of plenty. Is Bishop Turner inspired by God to tell us that Liberia is a land of promise and of plenty? The facts are against him. Where is our capital with which to begin life in a new country and under strange conditions? The antipathy between the whites and blacks is not in- herent and natural. It is the result of cir- cumstances and of early training. If white parents would allow their children to as- soclate more with black children this an- antipathy would take a back seat. As the blacks increased in wealth, education and consequent power, this antipathy would fade away like the dew of morning. If this antipathy were natural we would find ft throughout the Caucasian race. Instead of this ft is restricted to this country. The right is on our side and will be ultimately |asserted. There was a time even in the justice loving north when we could not ride in common carriers with white folks, but this thing is changing now. It is only a question of a few years when the parti- tion which ropes off the races down in Dixie will be knocked out. The black man has rights, and must be allowed to enjoy | be la: them. God sees our affliction; He knows our sorrows, and He is coming down to de- Jiver us. ‘This is our home, and here we Will dwell till Jesus takes us to Him. We | will stay here and trust in the arm of the living God. I already catch the whisper- ings of cheering words from the highest heaven. They are sweeter than honey to my soul. Hear them. Say ye to the right- eous, {t shall go well with them for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe to the wicked, it shall go ill with them for the reward of their hands shall be given them. We will stay, because we have a blood Negro blood was shed American independence. When_ rebel hands pulled down the star spangled ban- ner the arm of the negro helped to hoist it again. We will stay here because we were brought here in chains, hunted by night and flogged by day and now that the God ef batues has burst our bondage we will show our bitterest foes that it is pos- sible for us to rise out of the dead ashes of slavery and become a prominent part of this nation. We are Americans, as truly this is our home, and here we will stay, Cries of approval greeted Dr. utterances, EDUCATIONAL. UY OF WASH ST. GEORGE'S HALL, FOR BOYS, ST. GEORGE'S, Pro .

Societies Have Been Organized—Ad- ditional Students Enrolled—Sub- jects to Be Debated. All the little preliminaries of organization have been disposed of and the work at the law schools of the city is well under way. Professors and students are attacking their tasks with a vim and earnestness which speak well for the interest of both. Any who have entered any one of the schools this year with the idea that they are there simply to spend a short time each evening listening to the lectures and thus to acquire a knowledge of the law by merely absorbing something of what they hear are being speedily disabused of this notion. A careful study of the lessons assigned is con- sidered to be of the highest importance, and frequent quizzes bring out the points upon which further study is necessary. The reassembling of the schools ts also a signal for the reorganization of the various societies and class organizations which se- cure to the students much pleasant and profitable intercourse with one another. Some of the classes have already complet- ed their organization for the present year, while others have as yet taken only the preliminary steps. The debating society of Columbian Uni- versity Law School held the first meeting of the present term on Saturday evening, October 14, The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Sidney R. Jacobs; vice president, A. V. Taylor; secretary, W. H, Ryland; treasurer, J. M. Gray. The subject for debate at the meeting Saturday night, was: Resolved, That per- sons Not citizens of the United States should hot be permitted to vote in presidential elections. ‘The affirmative side of the ques- tion will be upheld by E. C. Molby and S. R. Jacobs, and the negative by B. H. Tay- lor and W. R. Blackford. The post-graduate class of Georgetown has organized, with the following officers: President, Wilton J. Lambert; first vice president, Raymond Heiskell; second vice president, T. Joseph Duffy; recording secre- tary, R. E. Gery; corresponding secretary, A. L. Sinclair; treasurer, P. R. Hillyer; sergeant-at-arms, D. M. Kellogg; executive comunittee, (appointed by president), J. H. Davis, D. W. Smith, E, Wardwell, A. 8. Michener, W. Streetor. The senior class of Columbian met last Tuesday evening. An unsuccessful attempt to amend the constitution so that it would be satisfactory to all resulted in the ad- journment of the class organization sine die. A cammittee was then elected to form- ulate a set of rules by which the class should be governed and report the same at a future meeting. The debating society of Georgetown Uni- versity Department met last Friday even- ing. The constitution reported by the com- mittee was adopted after some discussion. ‘The senior class of Georgetown met last Tuesday evening and elected the following officers: President, W. B.

Dr. Davis, pastor of the Fifteenth Street M, E. Church, preached yesterday on the liquor traffic in its relation to law, cus- tom and public opinion. He called Chris- tans to account for their cowardliness in rermitting the liquor traffic to be counte- nanced by law and public opinion, and gave the liquor people credit for fighting from the shoulder in defense of their law-protect- ed business. He drew his text from second chapter of Matthew, and the 18th verse. “Rachel weeping for the destruction of her children by Herod." We had here in the city of Washington, he said, 1,070 places licensed for the sale of liquor and two spe- cial saloons over which the flag of the na- tion floated, and where, he said, Senators and Congressmen time and again became so crunk that they were a disgrace to them- selves and to their country. He declared that he had seen this. These places were backed by law. That law was backed by public — else it could not continue to we in the destruction of those little children, was also backed by law. 2 The destruction of those children was in con-" formity of the law. Public opinion sanc- tioned that Jaw. Unsupported by that power, it would have fallen. With the proper education of public opinion, the in- famy of the saloon would be as readily acknowledged as the infamy of Herod. ‘The laws reflected the opinions of the law makers, and the opinions of the law makers were largely those entertained by their con- stituents. If the opinions of the constitu- ents were not favorable to liquor license, their representatives would not dare to license it. The church people, he said, were the biggest cowards that God had created. ‘They would stand around in their pews and meeting houses and whine and whimper against the curse of the saloon. It was a duty they owed to themselves and to their God to fight the public opinion and the law which permitted the curse. Preachers were very brave in talking in their pulpits, where there was nobody to contradict them. That would not do. They were unworthy the name of Christian if they did-not take the field and fight reasonably and logically. The saloon was a curse, but talking about it in the church would not cure the evil. The liquor men laughed at them and would con- tinue to laugh at them so long as they pur- sued that method of warfare. They must be met at the ballot box. Here in the Dis- trict, as they had no vote, they should or- ganize and every preacher, Protestant make him feel that they were a power. He would heed them. The Commissioners, he said, hunted for garbage in the back yards and left these moral cesspools on every square and corner. The latter caused more pestilence, famine, suffering and misery than cholera or smallpox, ——__. Death of Miss Agnes J. Robinso: Information reached the accounts divis- ion, Indian office, Saturday, of the sudden and unexpected death of Miss Agnes J. Robinson, absent from that division on annual leave. She was stricken with paral- ysis at the home of her brother David, in Menton, Minn., on Wednesday, October 18, 1893, and died there that night. Her re- mains will be taken for interment in the family burying ground on the old Robinson estate near Bennington Center, Vi, The funeral will take place today. | because of lack of room at Hoboken to Double Facilities Recommended for Several Suburban Places, ACTION OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, Brightwood, Brookland, Tenleytown and Benning Are the Places. HIGH SCHOOLS ALSO WANTED Petitions for additional school facilities fa the suburbs of Washington have been made to the Commissioners for some time. Recently these petitions were sent to the board of school trustees with instructions to submit a report thereon at an early date. That report was received by the Commis- sioners today, and is as follows: “The board of trustees have the honor to Teport that they find, upon a careful exami- nation of the growth of the various subur- ban schools, that it is desirable to extend the school facilities by enlarging the school buildings in the following named places. These buildings should be increased so that their capacity will be double what it is at the present time: Brightwood, Brookland, Tenleytown, Benning (white). “It is found, upon investigation, that the needs of these respective localities are in the order named. “In addition to the above, it Is recom mended that a four-room building be erect- ed at Giesboro' to replace the present struc- ture, which is inadequate and unfit for use. “The following numbers are submitted as data upon which the trustees have formed their judgment: No. of Enrolim't Rooms.

The commit- tee submitted the following this day, which the secretary was to forward for your consideration: “The committee on normal and high schools, to whom was referred the subject of a new high school building, to be located in the fifth division, presented at the last meeting of the board, respectfully report, that in their opinion, upon the facts pre- sented, there exis real need of such a building, and which by the time the same could be completed will be a very urgent necessity. They therefore recommend fa- vorable and speedy action on the part of the board, and suggest that the Commission- ers be notified of this action, and requested to ask of Congress an. appropriation for such building, to be included in the present estimates.’ ” ——_——_— JERSEY CENTRAL'S BIG DEAL. Controlling Interest in the D., L. and W. Purchased. The capitalists who own the New Jer- sey Central railroad have about secured control of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, and at the next annual meet- ing, in February, will enter into complete possession. In the last four weeks the stock has advanced from 140 to 160 on the final purchases in the open market of the stock that was deemed necessary to get absolute control. ‘The Lackawanna stock owned by the late Charles Pratt, the deceased Long Island oil magnate, has already passed into the Possession of President Maxwell and his associates, and they originally owned a | considerable block of the stock purchased at the time of the McLeod deal a year and a half ago. With their recent purchases they thus control a very considerabie por- tion of the capital stock, which is only $26,200,000. Besides this they have the sup- port of some of the present directors of the company, sufficient to cause an entire change of management in February next. What the Scheme in. The program of the New Jersey Central people, according to a recognized authority in Philadelphia, is to still further strengthen their hold on the property by the distri- bution of a 100 per cent stock dividend as soon as they get into power. As the stock is held in small blocks the issue of so many additional shares would naturally increase the power of the large holders and in- trench them in control almost beyond pos- sibility of disturbance. The dividend can properly be made as return to holders of net earnings that have been expended upon the property. Jersey Central's Position. Whether the Lackawanna stock that has been bought will be transferred to the New Jersey Central or will be held by Pres- ident Maxwell and his friends and a traffic contract made between the two roads, has not been disclosed as yet, but the two prcperties will be most intimately con- nected. The New Jersey Central syndicate have long felt that their property was merely a terminus without a railroad, while the Lackawanna was a railroad without a terminus, and that it would be to the ad- vantage of both to become intimately con- nected. The New Jersey Central could then utilize its valuable terminals in Jer- sey City, which are now lying idle because of lack of business, while at the same time the Lackawanna would be able to become a great trunk line, which it cannot now handle its traflic. Ever since Mr. Maxwell and his friends secured control of the New Jersey Central they have been diligently trying to form some connection that would give their road an important reliable business. The co! pany owns magnificent terminals on New York bay, but that is about all. Jersey Central's Connections, Its line in southern New Jersey produces ttle profit, as. its traffic is very light, while there is almost nothing except passenger business on the seventy-three miles be- tween Jersey City and Phillipsburg. Its paying traffic is derived from its connec- tions. The Reading joins it at Bound Brook and delivers over to it a very handsome business, but the Central only gets a haul of thirty-three miles on this traffic, and moreover, it is within the power of the Reading to turn it all over to the Lehigh Valley or the Pennsylvania. Its coal busi- ness all comes over the Lehigh and Susque- hanna railroad, which is owned by the Lehigh Navigation Compuny, and is leased by the Jersey at a rental of one-third of the gross receipts. This arrangement is a very profitabie one to the Lehigh Naviga- tion, but the cost of operating the road SO great that the Central makes almost nothing out of it. Time and again succes- sive managements of the Central have ind | endeavored to buy enough Lehigh Naviga- Catholic, should go to the President and | at tion stock to enable them to have a new lease made on easier terms, but the stock is so widely distributed that they have never been able to buy more than an in- considerable proportion. tee Arrested After a Struggle. Last Friday the loss of a horse and bugey was reported at police headquarters, it hav- ing been obtained from McCauly’s stables by the party claiming to have been sent by Mr, Cook of the Arlington for it. It was ascertained that the animal had been driven to Baltimore. Last evening Mr. Cook, in driving around with a friend, found the man who had taken the team, John Ces- sell, and with his friend attempted to ar- rest him, but he resisted, and being struck over the head, received a severe cut. Officer Jacobson arrested Cassell, and after his wound was dressed locked him up at the third precinct station, Be incon’ TO ADVERTISERS.

Down to the Lowest Point It Has Yet Reached, Will Secretary Carlisle's Prophecy Be Carried Out?—Expenditures Exceed- ing Receipts—Pension Payments. The treasury “ten days’” statement is- sued Saturday shows that the gold reserve has decreased to $81,900,000, the lowest point it ever reached, and a loss for the month of October of $12,000,000. It is believed, how- ever, that from now until the end of the month the gold reserve will climb up, as the currency now in process of redemption will become uniocked and available for use. The custom receipts at New York have been paid as follows: Gold coin, 425 per cent; silver coin, 1 per cent; gold certifi- cates, 1 per cent; silver certificates, %.4 per cent; United States notes, 19.9 per cent, and United States treasury notes, 11 per cent. The falling off of the revenues is cleariy shown in the official statement that since the beginning of the present fiscal year the expenditures of the treasury have exceeded the receipts $22,009,000, which will be in- creased when October interest is taken out of the cash to the extent of $27,000,000 or $28,000,000. ‘These figures bear out Secretary Carlisle's estimates, that at the end of June Rext the deficit will amount to from §50,- 029,000 to $60,000,000. Pension payments continue heavy, $8,642,- 000 out of a total expenditure so far this month of $20,6%,000 being on that account. it will require probably three more millions to a the requirements for pensions this month. The following is an official statement of receipts ond expenditures of the United States: ‘The receipts for month to date. $18,235,497 The receipts for fiscal year to date, The expenditures for month to date 20,626,000 The expenditures for the fiscal year to date...

They Want to Fight Again. The fight which took place last week between Monk Robinsom and Charlie Holcomb is to be fought over. Mr. Robinson, who was defeat- ed, according to the decision of the referee,does not appear to have had enough, and wants to meet Mr. Holcomb again in a sixteen-foot fistic arena. Holcomb is will- ing, but says that the purse must be at least $100. He made $20 by the last finish fight and some extras, but he hardly made enough to pay his court-plaster bill. Although in the opinion of the patrons of knuckle sport Monk put up a first-class fight, it is said that Mr. Holeomb has said. some evil things and made i. he would make Mr. Holcomb eat his words. Mutual friends say that the battle will be Savage, and the outcome will be in doubt till the last round. Holcomb is confident of victory, and Monk is determined to do a tall piece of hitting. The mill will be fought in Maryland. ——-_—__ ‘Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: J. E. Vail to C. J. Grove, sub 29, square 73, Petworth; $2,280. R. W.
