THE HARMONIAL GRAVE YARD TROUBLE GRAVE HOLDERS BURIED AND THE TRUSTEES CONTROL. NEwS &c, The president has returned to the city much improved. There were several appointments made, although the president was enjoy- ing a season of rest. The NEW SCHOOL YEAR promises to be one of success. Onr school trustee will enter upon their work with vigor. The new trus- tee of the 7th school division should look diligently in that divis- ion and make reforms that are greatly needed. The case of Miss Thorton should under go athorough investigation and if it is ascertain- ed that she was illegally lowered, she should be put back and allow- ed to enter the Normal school. If there are any who have been fa vored by being pushed forward. they should be compelled to go back and Miss Thorton allowed to goon. The, people expect to see the new school board do something that will elevate the schools. We also desire to call the attention of the new school board to the ap- pointment of a lady who entered the teachers examination and fail- ed, notwithstanding she was re-ap- pointed and is still allowed to teach. She has demonstrated her inabili- ty to distinguished the difference between a simple, and compound expression in grammer. This teach- er is in the 7th school division Gar- nett building. We desire to call the attention of the trustees to the JANITORS, who seem to have no regard for the teachers in their official capaci- ty. Some of the incompetent pets should be deposed from the princi- palship of the schools and compe- tent{ladies appointed in their places. The Harmonial GRAVE YARD is to be uprooted again. The self- HOUSE & HERRM 8 WANTED WHERE WE HAVE NONE! Sy F & ANN'’S constituted board of trustees is |in control of everything and say | that the lot holders have no vote. | We understand that a meeting is | to be called in a day or two to pro- | test against the present board.

No man orset of men | should allow this grave yard to re- |maio in its present delapidated the management of the Harmonial Grave Yard. The people are dis- satisfied and at this meeting, which will be held shortly, their indigna- tion will be expressed. There seems to be a disruption in the MILITARY CIRCLE, The old line of officers is being removed and new oues put in their places. There will be several changes in the Government PRINTING OFFICE {when tile new Public Printer takes charge. We are of the opinion that the colored people will find as as good a friend in Mr. Benedict as they found in Mr. Rounds. The colored employes of the Printing office have lost too good friends, Mr. Rounds and Mr. Cadet Taylor. No men have been more favorably disposed toward the colored people than these two gentlemen. The report that the new Public Printer is inimical to the Knights of Labor hardly is true. The new Public Print- erand chief clerk are practical prin- ters and will conduct the office upon the same business basis as Mr. Rounds has done. The ap- pointments made by the president thus far have tarned out to be very good men, and when he makes an appointment that is not suitable he readily recalls the appointee. The Virginia Normal and COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE. under Prof. J. M. Langston is be- coming to bea success. Prof. Lang- ston has proven himself to be a great acquisition to the colored peo ple of Virginia. It is predicted that Prof. Langston will come to Congress within the next two years. His deportment and management of the college have made him quite popular among the people. There is no race of people upon this Globe who committ less crime than the colored people. The white press of the country can only see der. There is no system at allin My object in writting the article of the 28th ult., was not cowardly done, as I told my friend personal- ly who the author was. It was for the sole purpose of cementing the organization into a common band of brotherhood. In the capacity of a scribe it would be a breach of journalism to assign my name. I hope our honored Knight of truth has been especially benefited on this point. Lam yours, J. H. Lawson. 1212 5th St. A. M. E. CHURCH REVIEW. The October number ofthe A. M. E.

A BURNER FOR KELLY MIL- LER. HIS HYPOCRISY SHOWN UP. Mr. Editor :— There is nothing like being a modest man. There are so few of them. It is auomoly to see one, So very true is this that we hold up our hands in holy horror when one rushes to the front. Such a man is my friend Mr. Kelly Miller. He has not been satisfied with the modest face that God has given but has assumed another. Thus in this doubled face policy he signs his name to an article published in your last issue. There can be but two reasons which he \hatched in his own mind in justification of what he deemed a timely response. Neither of which is consistent, either of which is rediculous. The first is he thought himself the on- ly gentleman ot ability who could counteract the impression made by an article which I wrote Aug. 28th, on the capacity of a scribe. O how modest! The second is that it was a burning desire to see his name in print. The first savors of an offen- sive egotism, the second of fruit- less vauity. I was about to add another reason, that Mr. Miller de- sired to gain favors from certain members of ‘money, brains and influence,” but I will not for in do- ing so I shall be immodest. Having said the usual courtesy of debate let me repeat the words of the secretary of the allumni. “The records of this organization would not fill a piece of paper big enough to light an Irishman’s pipe.” I suppose my friend is acquainted with that office ashe has held it since June ’86. I appeal to the last visible spark ot an idiots’ rea- son to see whether or not a charge of “remissness and _ inactivity” could be sustained under such a condition of affairs. Add to this that no account was taken of Mr. Forrest’s death for more than a year. I could go on farther to show the hollowness and character - istic indifference of this so-called alumni, and shall do soif my friend and colleague keeps up his pluck. But I neither wish to become pop- ularor burdensome. I have writ- ten simply to answer the modest i | condition. The place wants to be ‘cleaned up and put in proper or- charge of indecency, indiscretion and falsity. By Rey. Augustus W. Watson, L. the faults of the colored people], p “Editorials. Book Table.

Sentinel.) Under the caption “Dusky Dudes Hustled out of a white Coach at Geneva” we find the fol- lowing in the Savannah Morning News of the 26th: “Macon, Ga., Aug. 25—A rath- er sensational incident happened on the train arriving here from Columbus this afternoon, Among the passengers who got aboard at Opelika were three Negro dudes whose color was but little darker than white. They entered a first class coach and took seats among the lady passengers. Soon us the fact was discovered all the passen- gers huddied together in the front part of the car, leaving-the dudes isolated in the rear. Knowing the cmductor was powerless to remedy the matter one of the pas- sengers telegraphed ahead the fact to his friend at Geneva. When the train arrived tuere, the friend was on hand at the depot with several able bodied assistants, They entered the car where the dudes were and collaring them, ejected them with threats and a manner of very persuasive charac- ter. The dudes were followed in to a second class coach aod there told that if they reentered the coach before they got to Macon they would be killed. Thinking the Geneva contingent was really on the train to see if they did re- enter fhe car, the dudes remained obediently in their places until the train reached this city, where it was developed that the principal dude was W. C. Brown, who was enroute to Macon to marry a girl named Addie Wallace to morrow morning, and that dudes two and three were his principal grooms men.” From their own publication we gather this idea—that a party of respectable colored gentlemen, which is more than can be said of the Geneva mob, entered a first class car with first class tickets on @ peacetul mission—three Ameri- ean citizens, with no fault of their own on account of their color, were unlawfully assaulted and their lives threatened and made to ride where they did not pay for by a class of people that are al- ways exclaiming that they are the colored man’s best friend. This outrage was perpetrated with no hope of redress. Can no method be adopted by our people to pro- tect themselves against such out~ rages? Have we less pluck than other men? Are we not as capa- ble to die for that which we deem as our rights as white men? eae WHAT THE EDITORS SAY. TIME oases sO DO MEN. LET IT CIRCULATE. (World news, Washington, D. C.) Money locked up in the Treasu- ry is of no more use to the people than if it were at the bottom of the sea, or the Treasury were emp- ty. The money power has some big steal in the wind, and hopes to accomplish it by having the Treas- ury in a “comfortable condition.” I HE IS WELCOME. (Boston Advocate.) Hon. Fred Douglass has written a letter to friends here (the Wen- dell Phillips Club) that he will be their guest on the 11th inst., at their banquet, prior to his depar- ture for Europe. The letter bears date of August 22nd. Thrice welcome is the sage of Anacostia. MR. BLAINE. (New York Freeman.) As the campaign proceeds in Maine the interest grows more in- tense. Mr. Blaine’s strictures on the Temperance peop!e have stirred up a hornet’s nest. The Prohibi- tionist speakers dog Mr. Blaine’s footsteps wherever he speaks and are making it decidedly warm for him. The Temperance people seem now to be the main thorn in Mr. Blaine’s side. IT IS NOT SO. (Ohio Tribune,) We will do what no other paper published by colored men has dar- ed to do—give the great Catholic church a hearing, aud show that it is worthy of at least a tair con. sideration at the hands of our race, being as it is the only place on this Continent where rich and poor white and black, must drop preju- dice at the threshold and go hand in hand to the altar. THE TICKET FOR ’88. (Cleveland Globe.) Jobn Sherman for President and Frederick Douglass Vive Presi- dent. This is our ticket for 1888. What do you say boys?—Staunton Va., Critic. That ticket will do well enough to be set up and knocked down by Grover Cleveland for Presiddnt and Arthur P. Gorman fur Vice President. We predict the nomi- nation and electiou of the latter ticket in 1888. It will command the support of thousands of colored vo ers. WE AGREE WITH YOU. (Philadelphia Sentinel.) Some of our exchanges may as well hang up the fiddle and the bow and stop making presidential nominations for the Republican party. Not that the unsolicited wisdom would in the least amount to anything, but it will save some disappointment and mortification to see how far away they have struck theinwardness of the thing, Mr. Blaine has gone into the Maine canvass to let a good many of his “friends” know that he is not the dead duck for presidential honors that he has been lately con- sidered. He is putting upa might- y big stake in assuming to elect a Republican Governor for Maine this fall. All things tend to show that he looks for the National nomination in 1888.
