Ter- rell—Other, Matters. —— ra % 7 The excitement which has existed among the colored peopl2 of the District for about @ weck in reference to the appointment of Messrs. Brown end Richardson as members of the board of school trustees, shows no sign of abatement, and some of the mana- gers of the mass meeting which has been called to take place at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church Monday evening next pre- dict that the results of the affair will be far-reaching. - Mr. Robert H. Terrell, whose wife is a member of the school board, and who, it is said, is a candidate for the office of super- intendent of colored schools, takes, how- ever, a different view of the affair, and today said: “Since the furore and flurry with regard to the recent £ppointments of school trus- tees seem to have subsided somewhat, I may be pardoned for saying a word in be- half of University Park Temple, which has been the innocent cause of so much harsh, unjust and intemperate criticism of the District Commissioners. ‘This little church, with its membership of eighty souls, was established Jast January, and began its work of an institutional character in a sec- tion of the city largely inhabited by poor colored people. Its primal purpose is to help a class of folks in a material and re- lNgious way who are not connected with the larger and wealthier churches of our com- munity. Those interested in this project believe that the success of their enterprise has justified their efforts and sacrifices. A Mece Coincidence. “It Is the merest coincideace that Uni- versity Park Temple includes in its mem- bership three school trustees, and not be- cause of any effort on the part of the churgh itself. Both Senator Bruce and Mrs. Terrell were school trustees long before they became memnbe?s of this church, and Rev. Sterling N. Brown was strongly indorsed for a place on the board at the time that he was the pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, years before he helped to establish University Park Tem- ple. I daresay the few colored preachers in town who were not candidates for the place themselves indorsed Mr. Brown most cordially in his efforts to serve his people in so honorable a position. “I have always taken a deep interest in the school affairs of the District of Co- lumbia. I.have known personally all of the colored men who have ever been connected with the board of trustees, and it is no re- flection on others to say that from a stand- point of intelligence and capability the board as at present constituted has never been excelled. Special Point Raised. “The special point raised in the present controversy is that there is a one-church rule In negro educational matters in the District of Columbia, and that church is University Park Temple. It is strange, in- deed, that this charge should be made against this church im its youth and weak- ness. Every observant citlzen knows that if there is any such thing as one-church rule in the educational matters in the Dis- trict of Columbia that honor belongs to the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, and not to University Park Temple. The Fif- teenth Street Presbyterian’ Church is now and has been for thirty years the control- ling influence in our educational matters. “Among its members are the superintend- ent of schools, two supervising principals (out of three), the principal of the Normal School, the principalof the High School until last year, five teachers in the High School, the principal of Randali School, the principal of Logan School, the director of the sewing school, one ‘of the highest paid music teachers, the principal of Gid- dirgs School, the princtpal of Garrison School, two principals of the county school and thirty-four teachers in the graded schools. This imposirig atray of super- visors and teachers are paid the munificent stm of $41,450 annually. The total cost of instruction for the colored youth of the clty of Washington for 1886 was $14 392.23. More than one-fifth of this sum is paid to actual members of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, and several thousand dollars more, perhaps, are pald to members of the congregution who are not churchmen in the strict sense of the verd. I raise no objection at all to the gocd fortune of the Fifteenth Street Pres- byterian Church, but I simply want to em- phasize the fact that if there is any one church among the eighty-four colored churches in our community more powerful und more influential in school matters than the others it is not the University Park Temple, but it is the church that has under its control school patronage to the amount of $41,450 yearly, or more than one-fifth of the total salaries paid colored teachers in the District of Columbia. ney in Power. “Where the money ts there the power lies. And yet, how absurd it would be if the colored preachers of Washington should hold a meeting and denounce the Commis- sioners and the Fifteenth Street Presby- terlan Church becanse the real rulers—the high-salaried officers—of the schools had nearly all joined this church! Looking at the matter from a purely material stand- point, the University Park Temple would be fortunate indeed if it could exchange its three unsalaried trustees for a few of the supervising principals and principals of schools that belong to other churches.” A Correction. Prof. George William Cook, principal of the Normal Department of Howard Uni- versity, desires The Star to say that the statement heretofore published that Prof. William M. Cook of Howard University spoke in opposition to the recent appoint- ment of colored school trustees at a meci- ing of Baptist ministers on Monday last has been fruitful of much error and mis- representation. “There is,” he says, “no Prof. Wm. M. Cook in Howard University, and no pro- fessor of Howard University took any part in the-discussicn referred to. I find that many persons think that I made the re- marks. I was in no way, directly or indi- rectly, connected with the matter.” ‘The Prof. Cook who spcke at the meeting referred to was introduced by the chairman of the introduction committee exactly as was published. ” A meeting of the Southwestern Citizens’ League was held Thursday evening, and resolutions adopted expressing confidence in the integrity of George H. Richardson, one of the recently appointed trustees of the public schools, and approving of the se- lection made by the Commissioners, be- cause those at the meeting believed him to be well qualified for the place. A copy of the resolutions will be sent to the Com- missioners. 3 ——» AFFAIRS IN “ALEXANDRIA. ——— 3 Appeal Granted im Suit-at-Law Be- tween City’and founty. The circuit court of appeals has granted an appeal from the decision of Judge Well- ford of the circuit eourt of Richmond in the case of the ¢dunty, of Alexandria against the city of Alexandria, in which the former is endegvoring to have the county court house in this city: and the jail property in this ‘tity sfld and the pro- ceeds divided betweep the gity and county. Judge Wellford decided that it required an act of the legislature to séll the property, and, as above stated; an appeal from his decision has been alfowed. An effort will be made to have the court ‘of appeals hear the cese next month. pxooks” Payne, a well-known negro, was ‘ore the mayor this morning, charged with stealing a gold watch from Robert Ashley, From the evidence it appears that while at a dance, in Odd Fellows’ Hall, on South Columbus street, about a month ago, the watch was taken from Ashley’s pocket, and was afterward sold to a man at Jack- son City by Payne, for $3. Officer Lyles yesterday afternoon -went to Jackson City and recovered the watch. Payne was fined $10, in default of which he went to jail for ae ate se @ following cases were disposed of by Mayor Simpson in the police court this morning: Annie McCoy, one of the demi- monde, arrested by Officer Lyles and charged with disorderly conduct, fined $5, in default of which she will: go down for thirty days. Henry Scott, colored, charged with an assault on Mary Francis, dismissed for want of evidence. THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP. EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian time.
