ta) The Published every Saturday at 1109 I stree northwest, Washington, D. C. ntered at the Post Office at Washington D.C., a8 Second Class mail matter. SOUTHERN LEADERS NEEDED. “F, H, R.,” of Macon, Ga., evi- dently belongs «o the new school of politics in the South. He says that the men now in Congress “are lucky wirepallers and mere shrewd politicians and that, “The most effective politician rallying ery inthe South to-day is, “This isa white man’s government.” It brings to- gether the most incongruous elements among the whites and makes them deaf to all discussions of the issues be- tween the parties as defined in their so- called declarations of principles. I can not see that this race feeling has weak- ened materially in the twenty-four years that have elapsed since the negro became acitizen. Itis about as strong in the young white voter who was born since the war as it isin the old mau who was “ruined” by the fall o! the Confederacy. It seems to me that politics in the South is doomed to be, at least for a long time to come, a question not of reason but of race.” We have always maintained that the white people of the South were building up an imaginary terror— Negro dominatiou —tu frighten themselves and children with. The Negro ef the South has never sought to dominate over the whites. All.they ask for is the right to vote and bave the same fairly counted. When the South shall choose leaders ot the seeming fairmindness of “F. H. R.,’ who will discuss is- sues of national importance and not use their best efforts to ruise a strife and retard the progress of a race that has always been true and faithful to them, they will then bave no further use tor the ery of “This is a white man’s gov— ernment.” ° STILL A KICKING. (Ark. Hornett.) We do thank you. We feel that this is the last. office Mr. Douglass will ever be appointed to. We know the Hornett has neither the ability or influence to effect the administration; but it has the ability and determination io assist in the defeat of President Hariisson’s renomination and perhaps, if renominated, his re-clec- tion, unless there is acomplete revolution in his policy toward: the Negro. He gave- us cause not to “stand by bim,’’? when he incouraged the white Republican move- inent in Alabama, before he was inaugu rated. We are of the opinion Mr. Dukes, that you will not be in a position to prevent the renomina- tion of President Harriszon, if he wants itin °92. We still aver that the President will do every- thing satisfactory for the party lea- ders at the proper time, and we want our distinguished contempo- rary to understand that we shall stand by the Presidnet until he gives us cause to desert him. There is an old fable which reads as follow: Once upon a time all the mem- bers of the body took it into their heads not to work for the stomach because they declared it idle and useless; the hands refused to carry food to the mouth, the mouth refused to receive it and the teeth refused to chew ,80 the stomach starved. The members of the body found out by starving the stomach they were starving them- selves. KEEP YOUR WORD. A man should above all things keep his word. Under no cir- cumstances should be make a promise without feeling morally certain of his ability to redeem it. He is or ought to be the best judge of hisability in this re- spect. When aman gets a repu- tation for breaking his word in smal] matters, he is hardly fit to be trusted in large matters. It requires a grest deal ot courage fora man tosay just what he means, and to dojust what he says. No man is_ thoroughly honest who cannot do either and the woods are full of men who have net entered this rule upon their code of ethics. Afier all honesty is the best policy and the safest policy; many an aspiring politician bas lied bimeelt into solitude. THE SCHOOL BOARD. The District Commissioners should remove those trustees who have disregarded the discision of the attorney and their order. We favor the removal of the entire board, except Mr. Cornish, who is giving entire satisfaction. Let the Commissioners act at once. THE PUBLIC PRINTER. Long before Pablic Printer Palmer took charge of the Gov- erement Printing office, we said that the President had appointed a good man. Since Mr. Palmer bas had charge of that office, he bas certainly treated the colored people well. He seems to have no prejudice and there are but two or three things we desire to suggest. We hope that Mr. Pal- mer will appoint several colored young ladies in the Press room. We want tu see one or two color- ed promotions as foremen 10 the Printing department, and above all things we shull be pleas- ed to see several proof readers and copy holders appointed. Mr. Rounds was the first man to ap- point a colored man and we hope that Mr. Palmer will see the necessity of doing a great deal better than Mr. Rounds, although we have nothing to say against the late Sterling P, Rounds, but what is complimentary. He was @ good man. ——_—_—_—_—_—_—=====—= THAT CHIEF CLERK. If Secretary Noble wants to sat- isfy the Republican party and especially those who have ever been faithful to the cause of Re publicanism, he will remove Chief clerk Dawson from his pox sition and appoint a good Repub- liean in his place. We want to see a man Chief Clerk who has no prejudices against the Negro. It is impossible for a good Republi- can to be appointed to a respecta- ble position so long as Dawson is Chief Clerk. He belieyes that spittoon cleaning, cutting grass, washing windows, &c., are good enough places for educated Ne- groes to fill. Will Secretary Noble continue this man Dawson in such a re- sponsible position? All the Ne- groasks Mr. Noble is fair play and an opportunity to show what he can do. DR. DERRICK. The people of this country have the most abiding faith and confi- dence in the honesty and integrity of Dr. W. 8B, Derrick of New York, and the attempt of a tew blackmailers and blacklegs to vil- ity and traduce him in the estima- tion of the American people will not succeed. We are confident fbat be is not guilty of the charges made against him by that old fos- sile of the pulpit and the impedi- ment to progrecs and civilization. Derrick is not guilty. Hon. Frederick Douglass, re- cently appointed Minister to Hay- ti has decided to accept the Hay- tian Mission and will take Mr. W.H. H. Hart as his secretary. The eelection of Mr, Hart as recretary to Mr. Douglass is very commendable and we are sure that a better selection could not have been made. We congratu- late Mr, Hart and thank Mr. Duug- lass on the part of the young men for this timely and deserv- ing recognition, —————— EE =T BISHOP PAYNE DENOUNCED. THE OLD MAN GOT UIs FOOT INTO IT. (THE METHODIST UNION.) The New York Age of the 13th ult., printed a scathing protest from Bishop Payne,senior Bishop of the A, M. E. churh egainst the election of Dr. Derrick to the po- sition of corresponding secretary of foreign missions. The Bisbop blundered in forcing this matter into public print. We credit the bishop with honest motives, and yet his letter is not entirely free from personal spleen. Thd posi- tion the Bishop assumes is not consistent with what we regard hisduy. We are creditably in- formed that only a few mouths ago Bishop Payne worked earnestly to have Dr. Derrick elevated to the Bishopric And further that Dr. Derrick has been serving as pastor in Bishop Payne’s district since these wrongs are alleged to have been committed. ‘here he was placed (and evidently by Bishop Payne) ina position that carried him into the homes of many good families, If this be true, then why did not the Bishop, knowing what he now claims to have known, dismiss him? We would not be nnderstood as defending any wrong act of Doctor Derrick, but it does seem fo us that if he was good enough to fill the pulpit, the most exulted calling on earth, he ought to be good enouh to act as a missionary secretary. is of deeper concern, the dealing with souls that need to b2 saved, er bandling missionary money under bond? not the medium through which these matters can be adjusted, and we earnestly hope the Bishop’s letter is the begining of the end of this unfortunate affair. ____—__—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—=_—_ OUR VIRGINIA LETTER.
