AN ATTEMPT TO BULLDOZE THE LOT OWNERS OF HARMONY CEMETERY. A PETITION IN CIRCULATION. OUR FREE NIGHT SCHOOLS. DISCHARG- ED OFFICE HOLDERS CROWDING FE- MALES OUT OF THE PUBLIC SCHCOLS. SHALL THE SCHOOLS BE MADE THE REFUGU OF DISCHARGED POLITICIANS? WiLL THE COM- MISSIONERS CONFIRM THE AP- POINTMENTS OF THE BOARD. We have been informed that there isa petition in circulation by those against whom a suit has been filed, who have compro- mised the rights of the lot owners of Harmony cemetery, to the ef, fect that they are satisfied with the present management of that disgracefully conducted _ burigl ground. We desire to warn all honest lot owners not to take any stock in said petition as the whole thing isa fraud to entrap them and thus deprive them of such rights and privileges as the court of Equity will grant when the suit comes to trial. The meu who have the petition are only tools of a man who has gotten control of the grounds by frand, which the court of Equity will decide. Why is it that these men are so afraid of the light? If the man- agement of the Harmony ceme- tery has been conducted honestly there need be no fear of haying the courts to investigate it. Those who will sign this fraudulent petition will only subject them- selves to ridicule and contempt. Again this petition will have no effect on the court, especially when fraud is established We have been impressed with the idea that our public schools were to be conducted upon a high edu- cational basis, tree from influence of politicians and discharged po- litical office holaers; but from all indications the night schools are to be monopolized by discharged politicians, thus crowding our helpless females out. While we| have no personal opposition to make against the gentlemen, who have been appointed to teach in our night echools, we do object to females being crowded out, when we see such men as the ed- | itor of the Advocate and Minton | | put in places that should be filled ‘by ladiis. We have nothing to) |say against their ability to teach, | but we d> object to their being} appointed when they have other | wo k to perform. Mr. Cromweil | lis the editor of the Advocate, job | printer and a Jawyer of ability, | who is practicing in the courts. | |Mr. Minton is a lawyer and a man of ability, who cau make his to be worth 40 or 50 thousand dollars. It is degrading as well a3 surprising tosee colored men of such ability crowding out young ladies who have not the opportunity and advantages that they have, Journalism or the law profession must be a failure or they must be short of cash The question is will the COMMISSIONERS confirm these appointments? Every day convinces us that it is absolutely necessary for the Com- missioners to retain possession of our schools or make such rules as must be binding on our school of- ficers. Hon. B. K. Bruce has gone on a lecturing tour. It is said that Mr. Bruce is the popular man in the field to day. There is no doubt but that he is a success in everything he undertakes. He has the respect and confidence of this entire country. As a man he stands the equal of any American representative. THE ELECTION last Tuesday was no doubt a sur- prise to all political parties. It demonstrated the tact that soine body will be badly lett in 788. And if the colored voter wants a piece of the pie he must divide on political questions. ++ CLARA TO LOUISE. Dear Lou:—I don’t know ofa person that I would rather see in- troduced tothe Household than Mrs. James C. Matthews, of Alva- ny. Sne arrived in the city Thursday accompanied by her husband and sov. She is at tke residence ot Mrs. Francis Jacobs, one of our F, F. V’s. Mrs. Mat- thews isa very pleasant lady whom the Household should welcome. THE COMMISSIONERS | have decided not toallow teachers in our day schools to teach in the night schools. I don’t know buat what the Commissioners are right. Our schools under the control of the Commissioners have abolished favoritism somewhat and I have been strongly considering tne propriety of asking the Commis- sioners to conduct the examina- tions for teachers, or have a special examining board appointed by the Commissioners for the purpose of conducting the examinations. I know there are deserving ladies in vur schools who are entitled to promotions, but are destined not to be favorites. There should be a reorganization of the HIGH AND NORMAL SCHOOL. T have no objections to the princi- pal of the Miner Normal school, the lady is sufficiently competeut but what she needs are competent assistants. The High school should be reorganized. There are several changes iu that school that should be made. The svhool is not up to tbe standard. There should be a business department introduced. Book-keeking is an absolute necessity. The young men who graduate from that school have uo inducements to enter the Normal school. How- ard University offers superior in- ducements to any colored institu- tion in the country and for that reason our young men leave our public echools and go to Howard Universty. THE SOCIAL CIRCLE will be anything but lively this winter. The prime leaders of the Saturday night club have left the city and gone elsewhere. Mr. Douglass is in Europe, Rev. Grimke is in Florida and quite a number of the other members have been discharged from the government, which will undoubt- edly impede the progress of the circle. Dr. Purvis may probably continue his private soirees, pro~ vided he is allowed to retain the hospital. The INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION has closed.

THE COMING MISSIONARY CONVENTION. REV. COLLEY IN< VESTIGATED, To the Editor of the Washing- ton Bgg: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words to the churches in your city concerning our Foreign miss sion work. I have just returned from the Foreign mission couvert- tion in Memphis, Teun. It was the best meeting since the organi- zation of the convention. More money was taken up than ever before. Brethren Coles, Colley and Presley were there, and the convention inves igated the ru- mor that was »gainst Bro. Colley, of wiltally killing a heathen boy i: Africa, and decided that it was an accident for which Bro. Colley seemed to be as truly srry as any one could be. The corresponding secretary was instructed to write to Africa and get the facts from the governor of Liberia, who was present at the investigution. When the tacts are receive they will be given to the public. Bro, Colley and Presley resigned as missionaries on account of fuiling health and two other brethren with their wives, from Miss., were elected to take their places and they will sail with Bro, Coles, the latter part of Dee., so that by the first ot Jan. 1887, we will have six missivnaries upon the field in Attica and we wiil need mmey to support them when they reach their ficldof labor. The conven-| tion was so well pleased with the | work done in the first Foreign Mission district that they decided to distiict the whole U 5 placing the state of N. C. in the first For- eign Mission district, 80 that the fir-t Foreign Mission district now embraces Marylaud, Virginia, North Carolina and the dictrict of | profession pay and who is reputed ple of this community and an act which should have met the uui-!I will be in Washington on the} Columbia. As agenf of the district work, for we must give Africa the gospel and it is the duty of all to help in this work. During my stay in Washington I will preach orlecture at any time that may be desired for Africa Mission. Dear Christians do help me in my efforts to give Africa the g- spel. Your Bro in Christ, J. A.
