Is ITA There is a great deal of opposi- tion to the alleged World’s expo- sition which is said will take place in Alabania next year. The let- ter of Mr. R. C. O. Benjamin that appeared in week before last’s BEE should be well considered by Congress before it makes an ex- travagint appropriation of money toe mzehine speculation, Mr. Benjamin says, and we agree with him, that it is impossible tor the managers of this exposition to eomplete the arrangements for this exposition hetween now and °88. The editor of the Montgom- ery Ala. Herald bas gone crazy over BENJAMIN’S EXPOSITION ot tuis affair, Mr. Benjamin says that there are names used without the consent and knowledge of the persons. Jf this beso Congress should inves:igate it before it makes any appropriation. THE EMANCIPATION this year, will beyond all doubt be the greatest that has ever taken place in this city, Itis the duty of all citizens to do what they can to make it a success, While the meeting last Friday was lively, the parties concerned were in good cheer and left the hall well satis aS 4 te ~ | fied with the result. OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS seem to be in dilemma. The Commissioners have been charged with having made misstatements to the District committee. We know that the Commissioners as weil as the schoe] board have done all in their power to build up and promote the interest of our public schools. So far as our trustees are concerned they are doing their duty and if it were left to them the people would not have any cause to comvlaiu. We need more schools and should have them. These western Senators and Representatives who are not used to High and Normal schools a e of the opinion that the people ought not to have them. And if they want the higher branches of education they should pay for them. Tne fact is the people pay for everything they get. The people are the constituent element of the goverament and have a rizht to say what they want. Let us havea DELEGATE IN CONGRESS so the people can be represented. We know that no other city would tolerate the injustice that is per- petrated upon the people of this city The people are not allowed to have anything to say as to the legislation made by Congress in this city. The great stress that | Senator Ingalls put upon the pro test of the citiz-ns as to the con- firma'ion of persons sent to the | Senate is as empty as afoul sewer. Let the Senate act in all District matters as it has acted in other We |need a government in this city of | by und for the people, Until this is done the people in this are no more than slaves or serfs.

M. or later. They have been compiled for Tid-Bits by a Benedict of long experience.) You may state that: You dropped in to see a frieud and found him dangerously ill with the rheumatism, and remained at his urgent request to cheer him with sprightly repartee ; You met a clergyman who used to be one of your college friends, | ¥ and yielded to his pressing invita- tion to accompany him home; you have spent the evening in his study engaged in a discussion on heath. eu missions; You have been at the office look- ing over the books, and are too tired and worried to talk; The clock is wrong; You have been discussing a great money-making scheme with a well-known financier ; and if your expectations are realized she shall have a new seal-skin sacque ; Your watch stopped, and you had no idea that it was so late; You have been down town with a newspaper man and you have been watching the process of printing a great morning paper (This is an original and good excuse. Try to enthusea little about the giant presses, the horny-handed work- men, ete.) ; You have been to a tenement- house fire and have been assisting the poor distressed inmates to re- move their goods to places of safe- ty. State that your heart bled at the spectacles of abject poverty which you then witnessed; You were run over by a truck on your way home at ten o’clock; you were taken to a drug-store; you would not permit the by-standers to send for your family, because you felt that you would soon be ableto walk; you are much better now, and think that all you need is perfect quiet.—Tid Bit. DENOUNCING A JOURNAL- IST. Lynchburg, Va., Feb. 19, 1887. Editor BrE: Allow me space in your valua- ble paper to say something con- cerning one of our so-called rep- resentative organs. The race should feel proud of such organs as the “Brg” and the “Freeman” from the fact that they defend the race boldly and don’t allow every little piece of tuolishness to appear in their columns. The people in this section of the country at one time regarded the Richmond Planet as the leading Negro organ of the state, but Mr. Elitor Lam truly sorry to say that they don’t regurd it so now. ‘While the gentleman who is the editor aims high «nd shoots at the enemy with force in his editorial columns yet he all .ws every little piece of foolishness that comes to his office to appear in his paper. Tue Caucassian race has the lead of us in journalism and it should be our aim as jour nulists to toe the line made by them as near as possible. They do not a'low such trash as the ar- ticles under the caption of “He feels injurea” “Dudes Assembly,” and Idlers Club to appear in their papers as appeared in the Planet of the 19:h. ‘There is not another Negro journal in the state that al- lows as much trash to enter its columns. Mr. Editor, I know the puerile editor of the Planet will have something to say on this and I hope what he says may show some manliness. Mr. Mitchell ought to have thrown that “J. H. G.” of Staunton in the trash bas- ket long ago and buried him up in trash. I do sincerely hope Mr. Mitchell will wake up and remem- ee that each toh is traly ob- noxious to his readers in this section. Yours for Brz, Oak. ———q«--e-o GENERAL ITEMS. The indictment by the Grand Jury against the B. and P.R. R. Company, for the unlawful tracts on Mary Ave., is a good act. Much interest is being manifest- ed among the citizens in favor of industrial schools. The Good Samaritansand Daugh- ters of Samaria are making rapid progress, for a hall. A MAN WITHOUT FEET AND HANDS. Those who may visit No. 222, Jackson Hall Alley, un. w. bet. 3d and 44 sts., and 6 and Pa. ave.. will find a helpless invalid man, without feet or hands. His name is Lucion Novels Monroe; age 40 ears. He was born in Prince William Co. Va., in 1847, and has been afflicted 31 years as follows: For two years he could only go upon crutches , ten years , he could only set up in bed, and for nine- teen years he has been confined to bis bed ; unable to move further than others take him, and for twenty three years, unable to feed himself. He was taught to read in 1863 ; professed religion in ‘69, and in 1870, in the month of Sept. he was baptised. He is now about 3 feet long, having been parched up by a disease which was inde- scribable by the physicians, who begun with their conjectures of the white rising. The coming May election throuh- out the state of Virginia, is still approaching with increased excite- ment. The 25th celebration of the eman- cipation of slavery in the District of Columbia, speaks well for per- fect harmony on the 16th of April; as the men elected are approved generally by the people. Rev. R. Johnson, a well known minister and a man of great mili- tary skill, having been elected Marshall, and Mr. Wm. H. Brown, Secretary; President Mosby, will have every possible facility to aid in a perfect outfit. The 22d of Feb. Gen, Washing- ton’s Birth Day, was righteously commemorated. Meetings of the many social clabs of Washington, have already cow- menced the work of arrangement for a convention of anniversary preparations for April the 16th. —_- THINGS MIXED. Ou, things are very much mixed, we say, And Sin is quite left in the lareb; For the clergy, they say, now at- tend the ballet, And the ballet girls go to the eburch. ‘Did you preach at the funeral of poor Brother Brown ?” We asked the revered Brother Pray; “No, | couldn’t serve Brown, for I was down town To attend the Kiralfy Ballet.” “You didn’t dance last night,” L reprovingly said To a ballet queen, winsome and bright; “You bet,” she said, with a toss of her head, “Why, that was my prayer-meet- ing night !”——Tid Bits. eS gee FREE WILL OFFERING.
