CLEVE- LAND GAZETTE AND DOUGLASS’ LET- TER. SMITH KNOCKED OUT. A DIVISION OF THE NEGRO VOTE WILL | SOLVE THE QUESTION. The politicians are watching the election to take place next month with a scrutinizing eye. The La- bor and Prohibition parties are giving the two _ political parties great concern, The Ne | groes are being sought atter by | the Labor and Prohibition parties | The democratic party or a few well disposed democrats are offer- ing inducements to the colored voter, which should be accepted if such inducements will accrue to their benefit. The time bas come in the history of politics, fur the Negro to support men and not | parties, and the sooner he finds that out the bet:er it will be for him. The INDEPENDENCE OF THE NEGRO in politics is the absorbir.g ques- tion. Suppose there ure a few colored pe»ple supporting the principles of the democratic purty, does that muke them an enemy or faithless to the race to wh.ch they are identified? We must put on the gauutlet of inde; en- dence and show to the world that we are not the serfs of any politi- cal party. So long as the Negro feels that his only ealvation is in the republican, labor, prohibition or democratic parties, it is a mistake. If the race wants to. be respected and be recognized in this country as American citi- zens there must bea DIVISION OF THE NEGRO VOTE, We should advocate men, not par- ty. The Negroes have triends in all parties. There are many demo- crats to day who are as friendly toward us us any in other parties President Cleveland by his policy is forcing the unwise bourbous in the south to extend to the ¢ lored man the right hand of fellowship. Is itright for us to turn a deaf ear to these overtures? ‘This is an age of ADVANCEMENT. As parties progress and improve so must the Negro. ‘he atmos- phere around us is continually on the chang+; the laws by whicu we were governed and kept in bond- age have changed, why should we as intelligent people forever en- tertain ideas and opinions thut! were buried after Reconstruction? No! Let us advance with the times and things. This division of the Negro vote is not only right, but an absolute uecessity. Tue editor of the CLEVELAND GAZETTE is in hot water. The last shot the Bre gave Smith mude his hair stand on ends “like quills on a porcupine.” If that jack snipe wants a hbel suit and is anxious to know sumethiug about shves, let him put his feet in this city about 10 minutes, and if we don’t cause him to regret his visit, we will retire from the field, What do we care for the man to whom he refers, Write and ask him for our record and publish it. We defy the demaguvgue of the Gazette to put his face in Washington or | to get Carson to publish anything | detrimental to us. We have a record as pure as baptism and we | challenge any libertine to prove | to the contrary. We still aver) tuat any mau who endeavors tu | sell a private currespoudence for | self agyrand zement, aud makes a persunal attack upon tis brother | editors, because ihey see fit to) criticise him, is a blackguard and | a sneak ~*~ ~* -~"? be condemned | | election by ail honest people. We doubt very much whether there are ten | people in Ohio that would give Smith a recommendation. It was said that the DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION. would be inimical to the Negro. What has the Negro suffered since Mr. Cleveland has been president? Is he not appointing them to po- sitions? Are not his subordinates friendly disposed toward them? Did we contribute anything to his as a race? Why then should we complain about not b- ing appointed to positions? Did we not dv all in our power to de- feat him and elect our god (2) the republican purty, which has played the Negro for all bis worth? ' Let us .be content tor while until the |Tising and setting of a few more suns, ——(+2e—____ LOUISE TO CLARA. At Home, Oct., 13th, 1886. Dear Clara, —— § It has been sever- al weeks since I haye written to you. I needed rest which I find has improved my health a-great deal. The schools uader their new man- agewent will no doubt be improv- ed. Dr. Francis has been placed on the High and Normal School committee, while Prof. Gregorv is ou the committee of teachers. Y u have no idea how much at ease our girls are now. There is a great deal yet to be done in our schools before they reach the acme of suc. cess. The course of study is still a vexed question with our school guardians. The course of study in THE HIGH SCHOOL should be improved upon. The present studies there are not much of a benefit to those who graduate. What is it that our High School needs? Tuere should be book-keep ing which is very essential before pupils should be admitted into the Normal School. Out of the number of male graduates last year a very few, if any, asked for admission to the Normal School. They went to Howard University where better inducements are offered to the young colored boys. If there were some inducements offered, I am sure our High School would be an ornament to the city. Commissioner Webb has g.ven us aset of trustees; who are acting as guardians of our children, it is left with them to give us adeceut High School. Less resolving aud more practi- eal work is what is needed in our school buard. Isuggest, to Dr. Francis who has charge of the High School, a reorganization. Latin aud Greek may be good studies, but, the pu- pils want a thorough knowledge of arithmetic which has been abvlish- ed. Tue locomotive rate which pupils start from the lower grades | to the 8th grade, doesn’t give them a sufficient knowledge ofarithmetic. If L were a trustee I would trans- fer afew out of the High School to positions which they would be more qualified to teach. It Dr. Francis, wants a success- ful High School, let him introduce practical studies. Pat such teachers in the High School as Misses Mer- ritt, Howard, and the like. Let Miss Daffin remain, she is one of the best teachers in the corps. The SOCIAL SEASON promises to be lively this winter. There is some talk within the Honse-hold of suggesting weekly receptions. A banquet was also suggested to be tendered Recorder Matthews, bat it is doubtful wheth- er he would accept. Mrs. Matt- hews will be down in a_ few weeks, so lam informed. She isa very refined lady and one who knows how to act. There are some people, you know Clara, who allow @ position to make fools of them. Mrs. Matthews is not one of that kind. Yours truly, CLARA.

THE STORY OF I0. Io was a fair damsel of Argos. If you waut to know where Argos was, consult the Directory. She was the daughter of Ianchus, who had so many children that names for them rau short. This is how Lo got such a short name. We don’t spell Io that way now. The modern orthography is ‘‘Iowe.” This is no improvement over the ancient method. Jupiter fell in love with Io. Jupiter was one of the prominent citizens, but he was never cashier of a bank or saperintendent_ of a Sunday-school, so far as I know. It was wrong for Jupiter to fall in love with Io, forhe was a tmiar- ried man. Jupiter’s wife was named Juno. Juno was a jealous piece of goods. She kept asharp eye on Jupiter. She knew his weakuesses. His principal weakness was for pretty girls. Juno also kept an eye on Iv. She had two eyes. Eyes are useful things to have. They have been exceedingly pop- ular ever sinee the fir: t patent on them was taken out. Some eyes are made of glass. These you can- hot see through. Jano thought Io was a forward minx. Indeed she confidentially told the neighbors that such was her opinion. Juno hid Jupiter’s hat when he wanted to go down street at night. And she refused point blank to let him have a latch-key. Jupiter was grieved at this dis- trust on Juno’s part, and said to himself: “Alas! why did I not emigrate to Utah in my youthful days, and grow up @ Mormon? Then Juno could be hanged, and I would seal Io as my second consecutive wife.” “Be hanged” isa figurative ex- pression. People who. are being hanged always cut a grotesque fig- ure. Then Jupiter changed Io intoa a white cow, and signified his in- tention of going into the dairy business. Jupiter, you will observe, was a lightning change artist of superior skill. Cows are aniu \ have seen one. According to ancient tradition, butter was once a cow product. That was before the in- vention of oleomargarine. Junosaw through Jape’s dairy scheme, aud began to hate cows. Especially white ones. She hired Argus this particular cow. Argushad a a thousand eyes. He was an eye- talian. He was also a detective. This was in an age when detee- tives detected. Jupiter suspected Argus, and hired Mercury to remove him. Mer- eary was aChicago Anarchist, and he got away with Argus in great shape. He killed him fatally, in fact, if not more so. This left Jupiter one ahead. Then Juno induced a gad fiv te drive the white cow over into New Jersey. Tt was a big gad_fly, and did its work well. It drove the white cow frantic. Then Japiter went down into New Jersey and changed the “vow back into Io. Then he got into the habit of running down to see her every Sat- to watch arday. He had a pass on the rail- road. Juno had no pass and couldn't go But she got a divorce in Indiana, and became a noted grass widow. After awhile Jupiter made a star of [o. and she is still dancing in the ballet. This was Io’s fate. Sometimes you will see in a drug store: “Io-dide of potassium.” This, however is a mistake.
