I must con- er, that it bas taken long time to find this correspondence be- ttthews, Esq., and igston, relative to u League, has iis S serious side, It t strikes me a {Imagination to see Ws any likeness toa i God; and as some i “God made a very te seleetion” for sueh ‘ission to so great a ‘s Mr. Langston, who ‘derstand how to flat- ‘wuch of the “you 1 Til tickle you” in the *“tlousiy, | think it u Mr. Mat- uous in to himself the gate right to invite Mr. Langston to the head of an organization of which neither are members. This is not the way a trne gentleman would act ; his sense of right and his mod- esty would not have permitted him to overlook those who had superior claims. Batit seems in this instance that that noble virtue—modesty— is absent, and pure unadulterated “gall” reigns supreme. If Mr. W. E. Matthews really knows as much as he says he does, he should know that not being a member of the League he had no right whatever to make the request of Mr. Langs- ton to head something he does not and never will control. Te suppose that he possesses the influence to subjugate the wishes of the memb- ers of the already orgauized branches to his selfish desires in order that he may name the head of the League, is to put it mildly, to be troubled with the big head. He says: ‘With such an organiza- tion, free from ali jealousies and self-seeking,” etc. How will it be possible to avoid jealousies when the rights of the founder are ignor- ed and Mr. Matthews takes upon himself to say who shall rale over the conceptions of another’s brain? As to self-seeking, his action is a sufficient answer. The whole thing is too transparent, and I should only laugh, but that I believe Mr. Matthews would carry out his pro- position if allowed to. Let us have a branch, yes, three or four here, and send delegates to a national convention instructed to vote for the candidate who should appear to be the choice of the majority. Shoald Mr. Langston be the man, alright, and we will, to a man, sup port him in every well directed and honorable effort. My idea, bowev- er, would be to elect a board, one from each State, to manage the af- fairs of the League,and by so doing we give recognition to more than one deserving man. But should the one man idea prevail in the convention, then decency and a sense of fair play should cause ev- ery delegate to cast his vote forthe origmator and founder of the League, T. Thomas Fortune, who bas spent liis owo woney and count- less sleepless nights perfecting the plans of organization, and who un- derstands better than any other man how to set the machinery in motion. Confer the first houor on him by all means. Any other course would not only be unfair, but posi- tively dishonorable; and if Mr. Langston allows Mr. Matthews to palm himself off oa him as a mes~ senger from God, he will awake from his beautiful, but delusive hallucination tofind that bis holy (?) “nibs” is oniy a poor miserable mortal of a money lender of Wash- ington, D. C., who imagines he sees millions in his little scheme. We are sure to have a branch of ‘the League here, but it will not be or- ganized for the exclusive purpose of furthering the interests of one man aad bis httle clique, but for the whole race. Kine MARLEAUX. —__—» +r aes OUR CADETS. THEIR RECEPTION IN NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA, [Continued trom last week.] A magnificent banner of purple silk inscribed in gold letters “Wash ington Cadets, guest of the Ply- mouth Rock Pants Co.” The ban- ner is about 5x33 in size. After speschmaking by the President of the company, response hy Captian Arthur Brooks and Mr. R. W. Tompkins, and speeches by other citzens, soldiers and visitors. The call sounded, knapsacks were soon packed downed, and soon the boys were headed for the Providence depot, while the National Band was making the walkin ring. In a short time the boys were all aboard and the train pulled out amid a storm of cheers, while wild and weird above the horse huzzas arose the ever following Bostoniaus in- quiring in shilliest table and deep- est bass—* Where did you get that Band?” The Band was a great institution and Boston, cultivated Boston, Musical Boston, and all of the other entitles of Boston gave them its heartiest approval. In Providence the Ist and 2d separate companies, captains Frazer and Blunt, with a delegation from Burnside Post, G. A. R., awaited and eseorted them to their armory, and an excellent supper. After that a balland reception, lasting until 3.a.m. In the afternoon a p trade through the principal streets and back to dinner. After dinner , D. C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1889, NO. 20. marched to the armory of the Meagher Guards, one of the crack drill companies of the country (white), where they were welcomed ina speech by the commander, Captain Hackett, and handsomely entertained. After the band had filled up, and played several selec- tions, the line of march was again taken up for the boat and they were soon safely bestowed aboard the Connecticut,another palatial steam- er which carried them safely but slowly to New York city. The sail ap New York Harbor in the early morning was simply delightful, but at New York city, the charming weather of the trip at length de~ parted,and a nasty disagreeable driving rain setting in caused them apeedily to huut the train and start for warmth and Philadelphia. The city of brotherly love, with its fine company, the Gray Invincibles, the strong friends of the Cadets, had been looked forward to all the way through as the place fitly to wind up the triumphal march, and nobly did they redeem the pledge. The boys were allowed to lack for nothing. Shopkeepers, restauraters, barbers, and even bootblacks refused iv take their money. The boys all ate and drank throughout the trip antil their belts were all worn home @ size larger than when they left. The E. H. Fitter Club received the boys with a salvo of artillery, fireworcs and cheers. After supper at the armory they were all marched up to the Club~House and put in pos- session with champagne and “fix- ins.” Thursday was the Grays’ 19th auniversary, mauds paraded together. Had dress parade on Broad St. in front of the Union League Clab-Honse, witnessed by all the most promi- nent military officers of the State, and ip the evening a magnificent reception and ball at Horticultural Hall until 3 o’clock, with a drill by Co. A of Cadets under Captain Brooks, which created a among the spectators. Friday oid Saturday had ne -neaie? ~ “res, every one goili, u-see- ing and amusingntative..cés until 3 o'clock Saturday Woen they fell in for the last time, and under the escort of the Old Reliable Club, Captain Isaac Judah commanding, marched to the Broad St. Station and embarked for Washington, loaded down inside and out with remembrauces from their citizens and soldier friends. Betore getting to Washiugtou, however, the loads were all inside. As they marched out from the train on their return at the B. and P. depot, with flags flying, the band playing “Home again,” the troops presenting arms, fireworks blazing night into day and thousands on thousands of throats screamivg and shouting themselves hoarse, it made a scene never before witnessed in the his- tory of any colored organization in this District, and never to be for- gotten. The line of march was by Pennsylvania Ave. to 15ib St. 15th to M, to 8th St. and to the armory, aroute of over two wiles’ And from the time thev entered the de- pot until the last man eatered the armory their line of march was a blaze of fireworks and a tempest of cheers. Capt. W. Ps Gray had charge of the fireworks and certain- ly outdid anything ever seen in: Washington on a similar occasion, j even tlie reception given the Light Infantry. Thus ended the most memorable trip ever taken by a colored military organization in this country. Every detail of the trip was so laid that nota hitch, or a miss, or a mishap of any kind occurred from beginning to end. Every man who left on the trip marched up the aveuue again sound in mind and limb. Feast. ings and honors, courtesies inmem- orable were showered on officers and men from the beginning to the end of the trip. Yet, pot a man of the Command from departure to return was at any time under the influence of liquor. Train officers, steam boat officers, passengers by rail and boat, citizens and soldiers of all places visited are unanimous in unsought but valued expressions that the party was the most orderly quietest, best behaved aud most self-respecting set of men they ever saw travel in aniform, white or black. And from Washington to Boston and back again comes still upon the listening ear the lingering notes of that wild, wild yearniog ery—W here did you get that Band? ———— % Salvation Oul is the celebrated American remedy for cuts, bruises, sprains, barns, scalds, chilblains, &e.
