There has been a great deal of unnecessary tak end criticism against Senator Shermsa and Other republcan Senators who voted against the Biwir bill, Se far as the defeat of the Blair bill is cone-rved the colored people have lost no‘hing. We waut a better bill than the Blair bill Mr. Biair wanted the S-nite Qevact a law to esteblish seperate sch: Is for whites and tlecks. Then sgain there were other objection~ able testures about the bill, L the colored people read the bill ad if they don’t call senaror Sherm.u and ohes blessed we will be surprised. The open leiter of Ex-Con-u! eburges made agains H.C. C. Astwood to the ediror o! the Bee and others teudering his thank: &., 18 too late for this issue but will appear next week. In consequence of the revolution at San Domingo. Mr. Astwood thinks that it is important to procved there at once on accoun! of his family bing there. He ingiste that the State Department is friendly toward him and be may come out all right yet. The repubMean meeting held at Grand Army hal! last Thur-day evening was a success; The epeeches of Hons. L. C, Houk, Jobn M Langston and olhers were good and showed a lively interest in the future prospec's of the gaand old party Very higi compliments were pad te the administration, wich demonstra- ted the fact that we have aiw advocated, that President Harn- eon is growing iv popular tavor with bis j arty. If the pre-ident wants to satisfy many thousands young and pro gressive republicans of this coun- try, let him appoint Aetwo.d to San Domingo. He is t day the bast diplomat of color that has ever been in the service. We hope that the President anc the] Secretary of Svate may find it possible to appoint him. ——— SENATOR SHERMAN, Those who failed to attend the Bethel Literary and historical as sociation on last Tuesday night missed a very interesting and in~ structive paper by Col. Geo. M Arnold, It is true as he said, that Senator Shermun was sold out by certain Southern colored de'evates; it is true that he was daggered by those tor whom he has epent the best portion of his political life. Ii is indeed an act of ingratitude and to=day the colored people who e- lected them, haye respect for these judas. no DR.

I have written no one on the matter of retaliation, unless it be fuund in the following language, written January 2nd, ’90, in reply to a letter from Dr. Griffith, which, { am of the opinion, [| sent bim at ter bolding ita number of days that I might think it over more carefully : “By your actions, you simply make it necessary for that two thirds of the Baptist population of he South which is black to organ- ize for the publication of a litera- ture of their own, just as the A. M. E. ebureh is doing. They supply all their Sunday School literature, and your policy, your backward movement, wiil help us to do like- wise.” Ido notadvocate anything asa retaliation, but you must see, that if we are to have a Sunday School literature of which we are to be, in some measure, the creators, some kind of a publication society is necessary to the printing and cir~ culation of that literature. Now as the American Baptist Publiva- tion Society, isunder the moulding influence of certain Southern meu. some of whom that society regards as foes apd others friends, bet all of whom are one in the opinion, that **the Negro should not be em- ployed as a contributor to our Sun day Sebool periodical literature,” we mast either content ourselves with being rejected on the foolish and unebristian prejudice of the Southern white man against our “race, color and previous condi tion,” or seek out some other means of getting our Sunday School literature before the world. Dr. Griffith aud certain Southern triends of the society, insist in claiming that the present exclusive policy, which shuts out colored men’s thoughts from the columns of the “Baptist Teacher,” is not due to mre race prejudice. But Dr. Griffith convicts himself and his Southern advisers when be says: “It the whte Baptists of the South are not yet willing to have their children instructed by those whom, however able aud excellent, they formerly held in servitude it cannot be greatly won- dered at.” I quote from a letter ot Dr. Giiffith’s which was written Dee. 21st, 1889. This language admits of no doubt. It is a plain, candid statement, and we see, that since the war against the society, which is wadged by a certain wing of the Southern Baptist cenveution; Dr. Griffith bas cone to the conclu- sion that no amount of ability and excellence will render a Negro competent to contribute anything, | Save money, to the periodical liter- ature of our Bapt, Sunday Sctools, long as the ex slave holder objects. Now, if, from either mor- | al cowardice or greed for Southern In the case «f Dr. Laws who! gold, Dr. Griffith and the society which be represeits should con tinue this policy of giving to the | country what is desiguedly a white man’s Suuday School periodical literature, will you charge tho e, the fact, that they belong toa race, apart of whom, were once, like the aucient series of the white Ameri~ can, helpless slaves, with resorting to schewes of retaliation, should they seek to elevate themselves t Mr. Wil-| in all our labors, I remain, Yours truly, WALTER H.

SENAT R SAERMAN COMPLIMENT- ED. {REACHERY BY S UTHERN DE Cot. Geo, M. ARNOLD SPEAKS, There was fully 300 people at the Bethel Literary on last Tuesday evening to listen to a paper by Col. Geo. M. Arnold. Among other things the Col. said in speaking of Senstor Sherman: He is one who has been here us member of Congress, Senator and Cabivet officer 33 years, in all this time the friend of freedom the foe of oppression aud enemy to slavery. So strong end earm- est bis convietions and so boldly nitered, that he has been t: rmed tie cand date of “black people.” This great senator has been cer— tainly simee the death of Mr, Sumner--tie leader in the senate in favor of those measures for the best interest of the colored race in this country. But he was *mor- tally wouuded” at the last Chica~ go National repodlican ¢ nven- tion and that to by colored men from the South who were elec’ed as Sherman’s delegates and in- structed by their State to vote for aud stand by him. ‘Ibe mode aud manner in which he was shamefully deserted and sold by these same men is a disgrace to them and an argument in favor of dropping the vid “amen corner” politicans who show up every tour years and get themrelves c~ lected to National conventions-- in orde: tu sellout to the high est. bidder. Seuator Sherman is “still the unflinching friend of this down tr dden avd oppressed people of the South and siill true to these great principles that give us tae right to participate as men in af- tag of government, but if he ev~ er stops and think how he was treatet by some of the black p li- ticious and white republicians in the Soutb, it will not be surpris- ing be is here-after a bit shak- ey.
