There is no doubt but that the District Commissioners will revoke the appointments of those teachers made by the board of trustees. —————— THE REVOLT IN INDIA The eo called revolt in Indiana] t n is only a “iempest in a teapot.” About a handful of Negro d mo- crate, backed up by a class ol irresponsible white men, are creat ing @ great deal of newspaper talk. President Harrison will carry Indianna and there is no doubt but that be will be renomi pated and elected. There is noth ing in the democratic party for the Negro, that iact has been demonstrated long ago. We publish in this issue a copy of a letter sent by Mr. Geo. M. Arnold, to Hon. Jobn W. Doug- lass, setting forth his views in opposition to the G. A. Encamp ment in 1892. This letter states Mr. Arnold’s position and views. We hope our citizens wil read it and thus be made acquainted with the motives that prompt the Col. to object. PRESIDENT HARRISON. While there may be some disat- isfaction in Tndiava against Presi- dent Harrison, there is no reason why that he should not be renom- inated He bas done more for the Negro thau any President that has ever occupied the Execative chair. Notwithstanding the seem- ing digutisfaction among the color- ed contingent, President Larriaon will be renominated, THENEW HEALTH OFFICER.

The citizens committee that waited on the District Commis- sioners a few days ago, in regard to the appointment of certain teachers in the public schools was received by Col. Douglass and was assured that the matter ould be given cnsideratior Tbat the appointment of M ummerville and Mrs. Peters was illegal no one will deny and the Bee would sug- gest to the ladies to hand in their resignation before they are request- ed to resign. ——EE It does not follow that because atone ti the Hon, T.

Within the last few days there have sprung up several candidates for school trustees. Curdoza of South Carolina and principal of the High school, Dan. Murry and others have veen to the Commis- sioners against Prof. J. M. Grego~ ty. In the first place, Cardoza shonld be removed from the prin- cipalsbip of the High school with- out delay.

It 1s also said that the number of reservation Indians engaged in Agricultural pursuits for a livli- hood is smaller than those who obtain a living through root diggs ing, hunting, fishing, horse trad- ing and the like.
