Nowadays when a subscriber gets so wad because an editor differs with him on some trivial question that he discontinues his paper, we remind him of a good anecdote of Horace Greeley. Passing down Newspaper Row in New York city one morning, he met one of his readers, who exclaimed : “Mr. Greely, atter the article you published this morning, I intend to stop 5 our paper.” — 2 -_ “Oh no said Mr. that.” Yes, sir my mind is made up. intend to stop the paper. The angry subscriber was not to be appeased, and they separated. Late in the afternoon the two met again, when Mr. Greeley remarked: r “Mr. Thompson, I am very glad you did not carry out your threat this morning.” “What do you mean?” “Why you said you were going to stop wy paper, didu’t you?” “And sol did. I went to the office and had your paper stopped-” “You are surely mistaken; I have just come from there and the press was running and business was booming. “sir,” said Thompson, very pom- pously, “I meant I intended to stop my subscription to your pa- per.” “Oh thunder !” rejoined Greeley, “T thought you were going to stop the ruunirng of my paper, and knock me out of a living. My friend, let me tell you something. One man is just one drop of water in the ocean. You didn’t set the machinery of this world in motion, and you cau’t stop it; and when you are underneath the ground things upon the surface will wag on the same as ever.” National View.

Baltimore was greeted with an appreciative audience. Mrs. Slye, the direc- tress as usual presented her musi- eal program. Miss Alice Wil- liams sang a solo, which was well received. ‘I'be essayist was iniro- ducad and read a paper ou tue | NECESSITY OF EDUCATED MECHANICS. | Hesa:d: Tuat he was more than /ever impressed with the idea that this is an epoch in the history of the colored race, when every thinki.g individual, who has avy race pride should feel called upon tosurrender ail private liens of selfishness to sacrifice ease and everything that is not principle to the great interests of a people of whom it has been said are ca- pable only to serve as menials. No subject of human thought bas perhaps received more attention than that ofeducation. Every one has the material for speculation iu regard to it, in his own experience; but individual experience is too limited a basis on which to found a general theory of instruc tions; an individual is perhaps able to judge correctly of the effect of the course of instructions to which he has been subjec'ed. Shake- speare’s gems might have been shackeled by the scholastic cur- riculum of Harvard or Yale. Douglass might have become a (me-di-o-crist) by the presence ot a college course but these cases are extremely rare. I have my own views ou the necessity of ed- ucated mechanics. I do not be- lieve that every boy ehould be compelled to attempt to learn a trade, because I believe that the proficiency and success of every mechanic or artisan depends largely on the innate taste of the apprentice or student for the trade that he has selected. The Pro- fessor showed many interesting features and facts of importance for the young colored mau. Next Thursday evening Mr. B, F. Petway of Tennessee will read a paper eutitled a “Plea for Inde- pendeuce in Politics.” Mr. ulocksworth and many gentlemen from Texas will be present to speuk to his paper. tee THEY SAY THAT, Langston made a speech at the Bethel political meeting. He praised Douglass whom he dislikes. Fred. Douglass, Jr., is an honor- able young man. All men are not honorable. Men make all kinds of promises ; when they are in a hole, We forget what we say after be- ing aided by our friends. Great men generally stick to what they are, but small men don’t. such was Gloster’s ambition to obtain the English thrown. He was eventially overthrown by the Duke of Buckingham. A dishonest man never succeeds. All men are honest until they are provel to the contrary. Alex. Powell has been honest with his friends. We often misjudge tives. a mans mo- Never condemn a friend should he make one mistake. Although Poweli may have made a mistake, he was honest. Others have shown their hand presuming they lad a flush, A full hand will beat a flush. Honest men always hold a fall hand. Senator Ingalls thought Carson held a full hand, but he found out that the other side held four aces. Ingalls received Carson’s resolu- tions with hesitancy. The resolutions that were passed rin fact will be sent to the Kansas Senator. CLARA TO LOUISE. Dear Lou:—It has been some time since you have received a letter from me. 1 have been un~ well and unable to do anything in the line of letter writing. Mach to the disappointment of our dear and mutual friena Joseph Morii son he was presented with a handsome baby girl two weeks ago, of course this was a disap- pointment to himI know. Huand- some invitations for the FERN LEAF reception are out. This popular social club, consists of some of the finest young men in our city. The young ladies who have been fortunate envugh to receive invi- tations are all a glee over this important event in their social circle. I bave been informed that the ladies’ toilets will be handsome. Mr. W. H. Lee, the affable and polite chairman of the reception committee will do all in his power to make every- thing entertaining and enjoyable. The program ot dances is band- somely arranged and many of the selections are dedicated to many of our popular organizations ana geatlemen of high social standing. A very pretty schottishe has been dedicated to Major Fleetwood and Prof. Henry Grant of the public schools The YOUNG LADIES international Fete at the 15th St. Presbyterian church has been one of the most attractive features in the social circle. Everything was tastefully arranged in a man~ ner pleasing to all who attended. No class of young ladies have been more enterprising and in- dustrious than those who have been conducting the entertainment at this church. I attended the Memorial exercises at the BETHEL CHURCH last Wednesday. I understood that it was an opposition memo- rial mecting to the Piilomathian. Although a long list of names appeared in the Advocate of per- sons appointed without their con- sent the meeting was far inferior to the Philomathiaa, REV. DR. RILEY is steadily growing in popular fa- vor with his congregation. He is a sincere Christian and a man who will greatly add to the suc- cess of the [5th St. Presbyterian church, Recorder Matthews, I am in- formed, has been invited to a re ception to the Army and Navy to be given by the President. I am not sure that this is so, at any rate I will inform you in my next. I remain, ‘Yours truly, CLARA. ° COLORED CITIZENS AT WAR. A TUMULTUOUS MEEING ARMORY OF THE GUARD. AT THE CAPITAL CITY The meeting of the colored citi- zeus called to indorse the action of the Senate in rejecting J.C. Mat- thews as Recorder of Deeds for the istrict met persuant to call last ‘Tuesday night at the Capital City Guard army, on E street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets northwest, and a most disgraceful and exciting scene followed throughout its session, The meet- ing was called to order by Marcel- lus West, the siguer of the ‘‘call,” who, seeing that the majority of those present were opposed to in- dorsivg the action of the Senate, determined, as he said, upon the instruction of his committee, to put Mr. Perry Carson in the chair, and this act was the sigual for cries of “Why not elect a chairman from this meeting?” ‘Let us have aman chosen by the citizens pres- ent and not one pushed into au- thority by the committee.” But Mr. Carson took the chair and proceeded to state the object of the meeting, which he said was to in— dorse the action of the Republi- can party as represented by the Senate of the United states. Mr. W. C. Chase then arose and attempted to offer some resolutions, but Mr. Carson would not recog- nize him until the cries of ‘Let him read them!” became so deaf ening that nothing else could bs done. Chase then proceeded with the reading, when Carson, West, Cox, Archy Lewis and others arose and attacked him ina threatening manner, and then ‘‘liar” and other vile epithets passed. The police had to be calledin to prevent bloodshed. Order was restored and Chase then read the following res- olutions : WHEREAS, it is claimed that the principle of Home Rule should ob- tain in the matter of the appoint- ment to the office of Recorder of Deeds for this District, when that principle has not been considered in the confirmation of numerous appointments to positions in the Territories, and WHEREAS, the only true principle of Home Rule for the District of Columbia consists in all the people, white and black, rich and poor having voice and._vote in selecting their public officers, Therefore be it Resotvep, That Hou.J.J. Ingalls chairman of the Senate District committee, be and he is hereby re- spectfully requested to prepare and present to the Senate of the United States a bill declaring all local of- fices in the District of Columbia elective, thereby restoring the right of suffrage to our, disfran- chised, unprotected and persecuted people. RESOLVED. That we endorse the sentiments set forth in the address presented to the President by the pastors of our churches against unjust discrimination on account of color, and object to the persecu- tion of any and all men on account of their religious or political faith. During the debate upon the adoption of the resolutions many violent expressions were used, and W.C. Cox and Arthur st. A. Smith had to be seperated by the police. The question was finally put’ and the ‘Chase resolutions adopted by a very decided majori- ty, and much tothe chagrin of the Carson element, who had been clearly outwitted by H. Price Wil- liams, W. H. Barker, Jacob strath- er and St. A. Smith. Nothing daunted, however, Mr. Carson ap- pointed a committee on resolutions, which reported a set the very antithesis of those already adopt- ed, and over these the coutending factions wrangled with each other without any legitimate decision until the meeting closed; and the police cleared the hall—Daily Critic. ee THE COLORED WORLD'S EX- POSITION, THE EDITOR OF THE NEGRO AMERI- CAN WHO KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT, SENDS THE BEE A LETTER. THE BEE IS RIGHT. IT IS A GIGANTIC HUMBUG, A FARCE, A MONSTROSI- TY, ETO Mobile, Ala., Feb. 6, 1887. Mr. Editor:—I noticed that the Montgomery Hera/d in defending the so-called “Colored World’s Exposition,” sees fit to brand the Brras a willful prevaricator and accuses the Negro American, ot which I am the editor, of incon- sistency. That the colored peo- ple who may have read glittering press reports of the would-like-to- be-exposition, be not deceived I send this communication to in- form them that the whole affair isa rotten humbug of the first water. For the past 5 weeks I have been visiting for my health in Mobile. Before leaving Bir- mingham [ wrote an editorial in the Negro American opposing the scheme, not because 1 was not in favor of such a display as proposed but because I found out that the Isole purpose of the projector was to recuperate his shattered for tune. [ left the editorial man- agement of the Negro American in charge of Prof. John Jackson. { learned a few days ago that Mr. Jackson came out in tavor of the exvosition, for this the Herald ac- cuses me of inconsistency, when at the same time the editor knew nothing of the article. Now Mr. Editor some time ago Mr. Philip Joseph asked me it I woald not sign as one of the iscorporators of the “World’s Fair.” I con- sented aud became one of the five incorporators. [ .expeeted that the leading men in this and other states would come together and devise plaus by which, an expo-} sition would be held creditable to the race aud country, but no such meeting has ever been held, or even proposed I defy refutation when [ say that a meeting of the colored men whose names are at- tached to the circulars, has never been held, in fazt not over half of them know that their names are being used r. Joseph met, Mr. Joseph organized, Mr. Joseph named, Mr, Joseph appointed, Mr. Joseph choosed McEInee as presi- dent, aud all the other officers, some of them he notified several weeks afterward and some he never notified. Mr. Joseph is head, tail, middle and half of this whole scheme to gull the publie, The gentlemen whose names are associated witl: his on the circular are all hoaest Christian gentlemen but they are not acquainted with the facts in the case: they are be- ing used to farther his humbugery as I was used for one of the in- corporators “to get it through ” The reason Mr. Joseph went to Birmingham was because such prominent men of Montgomery as Dr. Dorsett, Mr. Harman of the Odd Fellows journal; Messrs. Le- gan Bradford, Alexander and others denounced it as a fraud. Rey. Mr. Foster whose name up- peared as one of the officers. and even Mr. Duke’s editor of the Herald, who is now ‘championing’ it expressed their surprise to me} (personally,) When they saw from | the papers that Mr. Joseph was trying to get the citizens ot Bir-| mingham ti “catch on.” Several | white moxopolisis did promise in | my presence to give land and} money, providiug Congress made | the appropriation; but what of that? it still remains a Phillip Joseph | affair; and it is assumed imperti-| nence for him to represent without | their consent such men as Tanner, | Derrick, Greener, Pinchback, | ‘Turner, Payne, Lee, Smythe, Wil-| liams, Bruce, Lynch, Langston, Fortune and scores of others, and a libel on the seven millions of Negroes in this country, and the many millions in Africa, Austra- lia, and the West India islands to call this farce a “Colored World’s Exposition,” especially so when these millions know nothing of such 4 movement. The colored papers are speaking favorably of it because they just don’t under- stand what a gigantic fraud it is. The New Orleans exposition with experienced hands at its head, with its thousands of dollars from private sources, gifts from Mexico and other countries aud large ap- propriations fiom Congress, with several years to erect buildin and notify. exhibitors was a fail- ure; then talk about a colored World’s Fair with nobody to run it, a pitiful appropriation and a few months to notify the World and erect buildings, why it is pre- posterous to conceive, except per- aps, in the beclouded eranium of the self constituted “Director General” and his man Friday of the Herald. The sensible colored men of Birmingham are no more in favor of such a monstrosity than is the editor of the Bexor your humble servant. In Mont- gomery the editor of the Herald is the only man who favors it ap- parently, for if he were to express his honest opinion he would de- nounce it as a fraud but the expect- ant appropriation from Congress makes the Herald mau’s mouth water. At Mobile Mr. Joseph’s home, even the Thomas cats laugh at the idea. Iam of the opinion Mr. Editor, that when the colored people of the United States get ready to havea “World’s Expo- sition” the best element of them, from all parts of the country should come together, organize and go to work in earnest, but this little side show carried on by one man who represents nothing and no body, assisted by a few insignificant soups, playing second fiddle should be hooted down. Better let the colored citizens in every state get together and peti- tion Congress to pass the Blair Bill, instead of asking for an ap- propriation for an imaginary fair. On my return to Birmingham in afew days I shall give the public the other part ot this sequel through the columns of the Ne- gro American. R. C. O. Benjamin.
