Mr. Kelly was a man of nerve and ove who was respect- ed by all political parties. ‘lhere was nothing mean about this great man, al hough he was a democrat, he was friendly disposed toward the Negro. Let him rest in peece. care the management of our col- ored public schvols and still believe that the system should be reorgan- ized. We believe that the dou- ble headed superintendency of our schools should be abolished, which will tend to put our schools upon the same basis with the whites. We are opposed to mixed schools and shall continue to advocate separate schools, as they are bet- ter under the present form ernment. We shall conte men of ability be appoir the school board and if it tained that negroes are not tent enough to fill the ofhce, ap- point those who are. We bave triends enough, black and white, democrats and republicans, to aid us ia inaugurating a system in our colored schools that will be an honor to the people. This being the fifth year of the existence ot the Beg we renew our request tor its support from an intelligent and law abiding class of citizens, Our opposers have been the cor- rupt politicians, the knaves and those who have been disguised as lambs, but found to be wolves. The honest men and women have no fears; they will not cover cor- ruption in any shape or form. The ascendency of the democratic par- ty has been a blé:sing, it has had a good effect insome instances and in others a bad effect. It has caused Negro repub- lican office holders to be more circumspect and Negro dem- ocrats to know that they are not wanted. It has taught us to let politics alone until we recognize the fact that it is necessary to re- spect each other and support our own institutions, These are the priociples that we shall advo- BRAVE MEN? It is amusing at times to hear ~aen blow off surplus gas. We of- ‘ hear people say I would not such a thing. ‘If I should say . thing I woud stick to it. We are not one of those men. “He who fights end runs away, lives to fight another day, but he whois in battle slain, will not be able to fight again.” Wise and brave men think it better to run and re- turn again, better prepared “Traitors retreat when they are boldiy confronted.” We took the advice of friends before, we shail go on our own hook now It shall be strictly business with foes and triends. AN ABJECT ASSERTION. {be Washington correspondent of the New York Freeman, Wm. E. Matthews, said in a correspondence to that paper that we made an ab- ject apology.

On Sunday last a large number our citizens availed themselves fof the cheap rates to Washington to attend the dedication of the new Metropolitan church. They reported a pleasant trip and a hap- py day spent in the cupital city. Rev. Sam Jones, the evangelist took final leave of Baltimore on Monday night. He numbers his has t is erved their terprise, e up-build- | converts here by the hundred and race. The]is said to have felt well satisfied mude to in-] with the result of his labora, One notable feature about the meet- ings however, is, that no colored converts are reported among the great number saved. Mr. Jones bas a singular and isolated style of pulpit orstory which subjects him to much open criticism and it may well be doubted if his slang phrase mirth provoking flights add any thing to the grandeur of the Mas- ter’s kingdom here below. The new marriage license law which reduced the fee from $4.50 to $100 went into effect there on the first of June.

McCants Stewart, Esq., of the New York bar delivered a splendid address on co-oper: tion at Raine’s Hall on Tuesday last. Miss Mamie Hurst, one of our most amiable young county teach- ers read a paper before the Monu- mental Literary society at its last meeting. This association has grown to be a very popular orgav- ization and will hold its closing exercises for this season on the 17th instant. Invitations are out for the mar- ie of Miss Dolly ‘Tenant of this ‘y to Mr. Carl Bruce of Wash- gton. Miss Tenant is a popular vung lady aud au energetic teach- , and will no doubt be quite an acquisition to Washington society. ‘‘Baltimoreann.” a re SOUTH WASHINGTON NEWS.

This community is completely wild with enthusiasm over the re- turn of the Rev. R. H. G. Dyson to Washington, and especially to Wesley Zion, the neighbor of his own magnificent residence. The Mt. Jezreel Baptist church gave an entertainment at the Grand Army Hall, 6th_& Csts., Monday evening last. The installation of the new Pas- tor, Rev. James H.

The month of June at the Virgin- ia Ave. Baptist church, 6th aud Va. Ave. n. w., will be enlivened with entertainments by different clubs of the church. The Mt.

Howard received many congratulations this week as a recent graduate in the ministry. wed thair Several sudden deaths occurred re- cently in this section, The only thing that created excitement in this community on Sunday last, was the body of a dead man found under the cars. -_-2-2e THE KNIGHTS OF CAPITAL. It has lately become necessary for the bloated capitalists of this country to organize for the pro- tection of their interests. A great association of national scope has therefore been formed, with assem- blies representing almost every known occupation in which capi- talists can be engaged. A tew days agoI was notificd that I had been elected General Master Capitalist of the Knights. I entered upon my duties at once. Since then I have travelled all ov- er the Eastern and Middle States, trying to keep the various Assem blies from making the bad breaks which they seemed to think it was the proper thing to indulge in. My seat as General Master Cap- italist was hardly warm before I was called on to correct a blunder made by the Bankers’ Assembly, Kor C. It was brought to my notice by my receiving a copy ofa circular worded like the following: “The Bankers’ Assembly, K. of C., hereby notifies al! citizens to boycott the Boodle National Bank for reasons sufficient to us. “All citizens of the ’Steenth Ward are hereby required to des | posit in the Cashvox National Bank. “All Wall Street brokers in want of loans on the stock of the Nowhere, Swampville & Nothing Ruilroad Company are required to take their collateral to the Downtown National Bank(rapt) for such accommodation. “All merchan's desiring to get comme:cial paper discounted ure required to take it to the Skinner’s National Bank. “No bank will be permitted to proverbial for its numerous mat- riages, and now that this uew in- Fe of | ducement is thrown out to * pes | suspecting young map, w st} expect the good work to ii The state kindly gives upt San discount commercial paper for less than— per cent. — “Mr. John ©, Eno, of Canada, ing become a member of the ikers’ Assembly, K. of C., the ond National Bank is hereby B. W. PAYNE & 5 Eh Eastern Agents, H danger of burn: notified to reinstate him as its president, under penalty of being boycotted it such action is not ta- ken within thirty days of date.” While I was addressing a meet- ing of the Bankers’ Assembly on the hebetudinons crankiness of this sort of circular, a small kid of the messenger persuasion entered with a telegram for me. It was from the master capitalist of a district aud read: “Come to Slowpokopolis at once. Streetcar Presidents’ Assembly have ordered Cobblestone Avenue Railway to employ old maids for drivers and young widows for con- ductors, and to .use only gray mules fur draught purposes. Great excitement in city! Business gen- erally suspended.” And that is the kind of running around I have to do all the time. —Tid Bits. The MONTICELLO CLUB. ig EST. N. W.
