He goes to printing offi ces and gets work done with the understanding that he will pay af- ter his entertainments. He called at this office some time ago and got several hondred invitations printed for a reception to be given by himself and wife. The recep- tion was a success and as soon as the bill was presented to the amount of $7.35 he informed the office to sue him for the money and If you want a jive paper read the Brg. We want 10,000 subscribers by eq) middle of next year. Make the 25th aLniversiry a euccess. The Recorder of Deeds business will be settled next week subscribe and with the corneis barnt. This is the same rascal who made a false charge agaiust Rev. Dyson. knows him the better it will be to the community. All offices are warued to look out for him. His great hoby is the co-operative ca- pacity of the negro. We are pleas- ed to know, however that the ca pacity of all negroes is not to beat their fellow man out ofa just debt. We have twformed the members of bis charch, but as yet no action has been taken. We are ot the opiu- ion that the Bishops will take this ministerial beat in hand. Mr. ©. F. Mosby and Rev. R: bt. Johnson have the respect and confidence of the citizens. Now that the c mmittees are appointed it is hoped that all par- ues are satistied. Prof. F. L. Cardoz»’s paper on “Industrial education” wus a mus- terpiece of composition. The attention of the readers of the Bee is called to the advertise- ment of the High School concert. A CONVERTS FIRST LIE. Thursday aud Friday evenings ares March 8rd and 4:h, the Philoma- thian wi!l give a grand carnival and it is hoped that the citizens and friends of the society will turn out 1n force. Pandemonium was let loose at the Philomathian, Thursday night. Of course our contemporary will give afull account of the lies free- ly passed, the fists shaken, the halfa dozen or more on the floor at the same time and the general confusion ensuing.—The ‘Advo- cate.” Our Journalistic and genial friend Magous L. Robinson and consort of Alexancria, Va., bave our keartfull sympathy in their recent bereavemeut the death of their infant boy the name sake of Ex-Alderman Johu Audrew Sea- ton of New York. We had come to the conclusion that Mr. John W. Cromwell of the steamboat and resevoir no- loriety had shaken from his cloth- ing the sinful dust of this world aud given his feet a rest in the class room where his sisters con- gtegate to give thanks, that this printers devil would be able to tell the uth. We have always been taught that whena change from sin is made we see new light, the things or objects that once caused jealousy would appear small in oureye. But, vow itis cometo light that some people are con- verted by the devil and hide be- hind a christians cloak to enable them to be greater scoundrels. The Philomathian Society is a monu- ment in the eyes of the editor of the ‘‘Advocate” and all others like him. Since the Bethel Literary has nothing but empty benches to creaie a pandemonium we can readily account for the jealousy it has towards the Philomathian. The Philomathbian is the peoples’ litera- ry untainted by corruption and black-guardism. It is not con- trolied by ministerial influence or female satellites upou which the president can satisfy a lustful appetite. $50 FINE. The equal rights of man have been questioned in thestate of Penn- sylvavia and the House has pass- ed a bill imposing the small fine of $50, on any person who discrimi- nates against another on account of color, this is a move in the right direction but it does not go far enough. INGALLS PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE. Mr. Johbu J. Ingalls of Kansas has been elected president protempore of the Senate by the republican caucus. We congratulate you, Mr. Ingalls and bope that your ambi- tion will lead you to become the republican candidate for president in ‘88. And since you have no de- sire to seek the vote of free born negroes, they must in the course of homan events find some other man who wauts them. We respectfully request you Senator to read our open letter to you, which will be found on the first page of this week’s Bee. Until you hear from us again, we wish you great suc- cess as president of the Senate. EEE OUR SCHOOLS. FREEDOM VS.SLAVERY. The free born Negro after read- ing the pronuncimento of Senator Ingalls, wherein he plainly sets forth the dcctrine that a free born Negro has uo claim to recognition from the re; ublican party bas but oue course to pursue, and that is, to hit back through the ballot box. The time has now come tor tle Negro to be a man or vassal. The spectacle of the republican m jority in the United States Senate placing themselves on rec- ord as drawing the line in favor of slavery as wgainst freedom at this day und time is a most re- markable case of politic.1 degen- eracy. The original leaders ot the grand old party bent their energies and labored incessantly in the interest of freedom; but We would suggest to Dr. Fran- cis, Prof. Gregory and Mr. Joho- son, to increase the number of ad- missions from our High to the Nor- mai school. It is bard after a young lady bas graduated from the High school she is not allowed to enter the Normal school simply be- cause the number required by law prevents her. She cannot go for- ward-to go back, but is compelled to leave school without any hope of future reward. The number ot admissions tothe Normal school sbould, at least, be 35 which would enable a greater number to receive the benefits ofa Normal school returned the paper for which he! The sooner the public | the latter day republicans in their medncss to strike down a colored mau who bes mind enough of bis own to guide his polities! ac- tion have reversed this order, und have placed a premium upou slavery as against freedom. Just what they expect to gain by this move is uot apparent, unless it be their intention to force upon the colored people, as leaders, a few fossilized ard played out party tracks, who have no inflnence with the colored people. but ure always ready to hold office; it so, they ure mistaken for the colored peop'e will have none of them, uot even fer a gift. “POWER OF COMBINATION.” Col. Milton M. Holland, of this city will read a paper before the Philomathian Literary Society Thursday evening Mareb 10th ou the Power of Combination, This is a great paper and it is hoped that all classes of citizens will turn out and bear it. It is a paper that everybody should hear, Col. Hol- land willshow just what we all can do if we will. FICTITIOUS CAPITALI@A- TION. Hon. D. M. Sabin, of Minnesota, de- livered a speech in the senate Fri- day Febraary 18, ou fictitious cap italization on watering stock iu railway construction. Mr. Sabin said, that he was instructed by the committee on Indian affairs, to au- thorize the Stiliwater aud Coake City Railway Co., to construct aud operate a railway through the Crow Indian reserve. The previous policy of the Goy- ernment in matters of this kind would be satistied by such restric tious as are calculated to protect the Indian from any uudue en croachmenut upon bis rights; but in my judgement, said be, the ime | has arrived when Congress should have a care not only for the Indian bat the white man, whose property is and mut be of equal coucern to the nation. This is the right step in the rizht direction and it is boped that the Senator may see the importance of giving equal protectiou to the ne- gro if there be any on the reserva uon, We suppose he means the black~, ifauy, as well as the whites. a OUR EMANCIPATION The meeting of the colored cit- izens that was held at the Capital City Guard Armory, last week was one that will be long remem bered. The convention consisted of 19 districts and upwards ot 50 orgavizations The delegates met in perfect harmony and while there was apparently two factions great euthusiasm was manifested ' Everything was na:monivus and all seemed to be satistied at the result. Mr. C. BL Mosby one of the brighie-t y ung men in West Washington was elected chairman and by his judicivus and fair rul ing managed 10 give all satisfac- tion. Rev. Robert Johnson w.s elected caief marshal, and while Mr. Carson in his speech endeav- ored to defeat him, he siid atter his election that he would do oll in his power to make the celebra- tion a success. Mr. C. ff. Mar- shall, the recognized represen‘a- tive of Suuth Washington deserves specia! ment on for bis support of Rev Johnson and the gentleman- ly manner he conducted himseif in the convention. The colured citizens may feel highly congratu~ lated upon the selection of two genilemen of worth who will take the 25th a: niversury of the emancipation of slaves in the Dis- trict of Columbia, a success. Klse- where will be found ‘he several committees and it 1s hoped that that the people will go to work and give the committees their aid and individual support. TALK ON MANY TOPICS. Editor Chase, of the “Bee.”— “The Republican party doesn’t re- alize it yet, but the aciion of the Seua'e in refusing to confirm James Cumpbell Matthews as Re- corder of Deeds has ulienated the negro from their ranks. I don’t Mean to say that there will be no more negroes who will vote the Repubiiean ticket, but that at the next vationsal election there will be just as m:ny wh» will vite tor Cleveland as for the Republican candidate, ‘whoever he may be. The Republican purty hs repud - ated us, snd it his become more of a race question than a political one, Sine the action of the Sen- ate a large number of the best and most influential class of Negr es have come to the conclusion that while the Democratic party are anxious to reward their services, the Republicans expect to get them for nothing, and there area good tmany of them taking quar- ters in the Democratic camp in cousequence ‘The Republicsn Senators, in refusing to confirm Mat hews, have lost halt their strength umong the veg:oes. You cau count me as a Cleveland mun now every time.”--Sunday Post, Our esteemed contemporary, the Sunday Post, is a litle in er- ror as to What appeared in the column on “Talk on many topics” lust Suudy. We never said that “You cau count meas a Cleveland mun now every time.” While we believe in tue indepeudence of the colored man, we aie vf the Opinion that he should support any party or class of men that wiil besi serve his interests, We admire tue course of Mr. Cleve- land and believe that he is houest. Aud if the democratic party bad the sume muaguanimity for the colored peopie as Mr, Cleveland, we have no fear of future results. If the vem: cratic pariy does any thing ¢ mmeudable we shall give it credit, we shail du likewise tc- wards the republican party. We are sworn to no jary or cet of men, but for that party and such menu that kuow no prejudice, but will extend justice to all. We are fur Cleveland, if be will ex~ tend to the colored mun the same recognition that he »«ccords the Whiie min. It Cleveland caunot do that and such a man isin ihe republican party, he is oar man. —-- = _ ° THE PHILOMATHIAN. PROF. CARDOZO ON INDUSTRIAL EDU- CATION. SUUND ADVICE Tu PA- RENTS. Au appreciative audience as semrled ‘Puuisday evening at the regular meeting of the Philoma thiau Licerary suciety of the See- oud Baptist church to listen to a paper by Prof. EF. L, Cardoza prineipai of the Public High School, The popularity of the prote:s r brought cut a goodly uumber and the munuer the sub- ject wus handled made the even- Ing enlertaining.

The mins utes of the See. etury, Miss Mason, having been read, the pres.deut, Mr. Cuase, int-oduced the Es-ay- ist who read a paper on INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. He said: This is a subject upon which you have doubtless heard a great deal of late. Judge McArthur has lecture! on the sub ject at All Souls’ chu:eh recenly, aud Dr. Crummell has proached a@ most exe-lle t sermon on it, which has been printed and which J would advise all to read esp: ci- ally parents I's importance jus- tifles its constant consideration. It cannot be treated to much. Its neglect necessitates the repetition ot the grounds upon which it is based. What is {udustrial EK a- Cation? Perhaps I shuld usk first, what is education? For the auswer tothis second question will influence the answer to the first. Perhaps it may have caus ed you tosmile at the question What is eaucation? You may tuink the question is so natural aud patent that it needs no detini- tion, that has a correct conception of education. ‘There are two very pronounced and direetly opposite theories held by thiakes who have considered the subject of ed- uct ion philosophically. The one theory is” that educa- tion is the imputing of knowl edge; the other is that education is the developement of the bu- mau faculties. Now it is singu- lar und yet natural to observe how the one orthe other of these the- ories influences teachers in their tuition of their pupils, when per- haps they may have never heard of their philosophical analysis. Some teachers teach as if their Whole duty was to hear the pupil reeite the tacts, and the faets alone; while others look beyond th-se facts and -ee that there - son of the pupil is exercised in understanding the facts. ‘lhe latter class of teachers ure intin- itely superior to the former, and the pupils who are fortunate euough to receive the henefit of their training will show their SUPERIORITY whenever they are called upon to apply their disciplined intellect to any new subject. Some pa- rents are influenced precisely as some teaches aud many parents make additional mistakes, ov account of their natural relation~ ship. And I may add, in addition | to these reasons that are applica- ble toall parents, there are some that influerce us especially as above. ‘The very conception that j a parent has a education will influence his action with regard to his child. If the parent thinks that education is simy ly impart- ing knowledge, only the acquisi~ tion of facts and his child makes great progress in this direction, he will be delighted and think his child a genius, where«s it will be simply an exhibition ot good memory, an important ‘aculty, but the lowest in the scale * * * MORE MECHANICS, men; these are the three classes especially that employ the doctors, and lawyers, and make it piofiable to persue profe-sions. He concluded by saying that there is nothing great on earth but mun. There is nothing great in man bat mind. As colored peopl, we are poor, we have toclmb in the same way other races have climbed. We have to acquire wealth, and then learning. Mr. J. P. Waddleton asked the Prof , if he believed in the theory | of hereditary, if so how are we to determine for what particular field a {boy or girl is fitted in life? Prot. Cardozo in reply said that to an extent he believed the he- reditary theory and went on to give some illustrations. Prof. Johuson, Messrs. Batts, Maxfield and others discuseed the paper. Next Thursday evening, the Literary Carnival will take place aud continue Friday night. This entertainment should not be miss the, ed. It will be one of the best that bas ever been in the city.
