MIGRATION FROM THE SOUTH A NECESSITY. GET OUT AND DIFFUSE. NEGRO JOURNALISM DISCUSSED, &C. Already the presidential contest of ’88 18 being considered by the politicians, One by one the favor- ed candidates are being presented. The presnmption is that if Mr. Blaine is nominated the party may expect defe.t. ‘The country has no faith in Mr. Blaine’ssincer- ity or love for the people. We are of the opinion that his ambition is to be revenged on certain repub» licans and party men who have heretofore opposed him, There® was more feur expressed on the part of colored republicans in the south, when it was thought that Mr. Blaine was going to be presi- dent than on the part of Mr. Cleve- lund, THE SOUTH wili not ee Mr. Blaine’s posi-/ ticn on tie Force Bill. ‘The letters | of Hon.

His time} will expire in July, will the Com- mis-ioners re-appoint him? The People say no. We have in our possession the report in the Mat thews case in Brook’s handwritiug which contains the names of sev- eral teachers. This case is famil- iar to the people in this communi- ty. It is an unpublished history and would be very interesting reading to all. This is the gen-| that Mr. Chase made an abject apology; this is the man that we defended and stood between the trustees of the public schools and | the people who demanded an ex- posure of thé éircumstances of De- cember 31,.’82. We have Mr. | Brooks’ own report, made in the case and an editorial written by hir. defending his report, but we declined to publish it. Does this in us seem abject? It was in Mr. Brooks’ power to remove the teachers, he knew who they were; he kuew the circumstances in the case; he was preseat and heard the housekeeper’s statement, yet he re tained the teachers. We have it in Mr. Brooks’ own handwriting and we defy him to deny it. If any of these teachers had been guilty of th ashing his children he would nave been active. He kuows that he has been with us for hoars aud discussed the school question; the fitness of teachers; the success of the schools &. To our surprise we are informed that the e school trustees and certain | teachers whom we have served, | informed the government that the Ber was a terror to the trustees and teachers. Aud when it was} p:esum+d that we were to b: sent | toa place that we knew nothing of, this moral retormer Mr Mat- thews writes i ur questionable | langaage that the editor of the Bez made an abjec: apology. For the consideration of this gentle- man, we desire to prop aid a few) questions | Ques.: Is trustee Brooks’ report correct? Has he ever pushed the sidered than any one else? is the question now. from a distinguished gentleman perl ying bef-re him.“ Ou one band are those relating to educational matters, on the other are the busi- ness affairs. Now we think that the trustees should only consider those matters relating to eduation and that the commissioners should lock after all the buisness and financial affairs. There isone’thing we don’t propose to have and that isany more disturbance and dis- sension in the board such as there has been. If it is fuund thatone or more men ure disturbing elements we have the remedy in our own hands and it will be exercised. [ don’t think any man has a right to remain a member of any body unless he can bow to the will of the majority. You can be sure we have a harmonious board.”— The NEGRO EMIGRATION In a letter from the south we have been in- formed that northern men are more inimical to the Negro than the southern men. But, that southern men are bad enough and the only salvation for the Negro is to GET OUT. Montana, Dakota and other states in the west are better for colored people. We favcr western emigration for the Negro. Let him leave the south. There is no salvation for him there. The reb- els say that the south belong to them. The better class of demo- crats are powerless, ‘They are like the republicans, a nonenity in politics. Let them get out. Diffusion is the question. There isa great deal of difference be~ tween colored and white JOURNALISM. There are a few Negroes in this country who know how toelit a paper. We havesome very high- toned colored journal in the coun- try that are acredit to the race. There are others that are a dis- grace. ‘he Cieveland Globe is no doubt one of the best papers pub- lished by Negro men, it is con- ducted more on the order of a white journal than any other pa- per published by colored people. Mr. Fortune is a good editorial writer and conductsa good paper. The Detroit Plaindealer, National Monitor, Memphis Watchman, Louisville Baptst, Denver Sun, and a few others are among the reliable journals of the race. In our next review we shall take up colored journalism. se DISTRICT SCHOOLS. «Ther are some ilems inthe Dis trict appropriat:on,bill which were inserted by the Senate,” said Com mi-sioner Webb to The Capital man the other day, “which [ hope the conference committee will not cut out.
