The colored high school§ of this city is greatly in need of a head. Strange to say there is more body to the m chine than there is sense in the head. The people of this city should elect their own officers, and there is no reason why that the elective franchise should not be restored to the people. No class of people in this country would subm t to the in- sults that the people of this city receive. The idea of two civil and one Engineer commissioners dictating to over 200,000 people. Prof J. M. Langston never broke his silence as to his candi- dacy and entrance into the democratic party until after 'he election. In his letter to the Age he makes a poor deferse and it seems as if he wants all the colored republicans to resign who are holding offices. By holding an offic’ under Mr. Cleveland is no evidence that a man is a democrat. LET THE CI:‘IZENS ACT.

How any intelligent colored man can agree With ex Minister Stev- ens on the Hawaiian steal is some- thing the BEx canvot understand. The colored people must learn how to discard party sentiment and consider tacts.

By no meaus should he indorse that wrong. Negroes must act aud think for themselves; they must learn how to resent a wrong ina legal way before formivg a conclusion on exparti evidence. Through Cars to New Orleans, Among the many important improve- ments iv the Baltimore and Uhio Rail- road train seryice is tre addition ot through Pullman Sleeping Cars from New York to New Orleans, via Puila- delphia, Baltimore, Washington, and the famous Shenandosh Valley route, passing through Roanoke, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Bi:mingham.

Those of us who love our race, and who believe ‘n its ultimate triumph over the pridigions opposition tat now confronts it will flnd much needed and welcome encour- agement in the gl» ious record made by this young man. His conduct at all times has been of that cha acter as to endear him to his companions, who idolize him, and to bring from his enemies e-onums of praise Oh! that we had more of the same kind. NEWS OF INTEREST. - A novel idea isthe decoration of the cock dial American made clocks are both good and cheap, so it is easy to buy aclock, and an hour’s work by anyone with artistic ability will trans- form this necessity into a be utiful ornament. A professional decorator, Frances E. Fryatt, painted her own clock-face with f rget-me-nots to serveasan ever present reminder to wind it up. Bridesmaids’ souvenirs are quitea feature of the modern b idal, and to be comme il faut the element of novel- ty is indispensable. The bridesmaids at a recent wedding were the recipients of lovely paaols o delicate white mull, beaut'fully embroid red and mounted over white satin, with white porcelain handles on which were their individual monograms in gold, Women are employed as tenders at railroads witches in H land, and have been fund thoroughly trustworthy. Not an accident has occurred since the women were installed to their unique office. Fifteen theusand wome" ty:e riters are employed in a small region in the city of New York, between Worth Street an:' the Ba'tery, where many of the large wholesale houses are situated. ESTATE FRAUDULENT REAL DEAL. For some time there has been some very ciooked bus ness going on among certain money sharks and ten per cent. brokers. The latest one of these fraudu ent transactions is one in which several ten per cent. sharks are interested and which will show that several men, after they had been warned not to put their fraudulent deal upon the market, did so re aidless :f the consequences, and in a few days some one will be struc. The old man against whose property the mor gage is laid knows noti.ing of the tiansfer and he did not even Sizn any paper or notes making a transfer of his property and so inform- ed the man who called to see him with the fraudulent paper. Notwithstand- ing the fac that it was known to the party who nego iated th: lo n that the whole thing was cr: oked, he borrowed one hundred dollars on the deed of trust for eleven hundred do'lars.

For some time there bas been a po- Jitical di-ision between the two colored Democratic organizations :n this city, one represented by Hon. H. C.C. Astwood and the other by Mr. James Ross, of loxa. Therecent visit of Mr. James C. Mathews of Albany,to this city a fe v days ago had something to do with the consolidation and har- mony of the two political organiza- tions. Mr. Matthews is of the opinion tha” the only way to be snecessful is to be united. Mr. Astwood is to be the president and ‘Ir. Xosschairman of the execu- tive committee. — Improved Serviee to Cincinnat an d St. Louis. The B .ltimore & Ohio Southwestern Limited, leaving Washington, D.

W., WASHINGTON, D. 0 CRAMP’S GREAT SHIP YARD. Extensige Additions to the Great Phila detphia Plant, The jAagnitude of the improvement planned by the Cramp Shipbuildin. Company becomes more apparel every day as the immense new buil ings tape shape under the hands o hundreds of workmen, and the time 1 not far distant when the firm will b aple to practically construct the entir ship with materials manufactured a their own plant. When the contemplated addition: | and improvements are completed th | yard will be the most complete in ex | istence, and its growth means muci ' for the mechanies and laborers of Phil adelphia. Along the east line of Richmonc street, as it will be when that thor oughfare is widened for the accommo dation of the railroad companies tracks, the big new foundry building is being erected. It already occupies an entire square, from Ball to York street. and is to be extended eastward along the latter street to Beach. The ole Morris mill, which adjoins the new foundry, covers the balance of the square and will be utilized as the ma- chine shop. Both here and abroad ex- pensive machinery of the most im- proved type is veing built and will be ready for use when the buildings are prepared for its reception. With this, much of the work done heretofore at ,; the various mills throughout the coun- | try will be done at the yards. In the foundry will be the largest casting pit in the country, and all of the immense steel forgings for the en- gines and all of the great castings nee- essary can readily be made. Just how far the firm will carry the work of perfecting their plant is not yet defi- nitely known. Additions to the plan at first proposed are being constantly determined upon, and the limit will probably only be reached when every inch of ilable property is utilized. The railroad companies are rapidly preparing to transfer their tracks from Beach to Richmond street, and this work will soon be commenced. All of the property nec i ing of the latte cured, with t treet has been se- ception of one small place. The t to the shipyards will be run from Richmond street, just south of the present line of Ball street. Henry W. Cramp that the com- pany will soon be in a position to push the work on hand idly ahead. There are at present five of the big ips for the American line under con- s the tleship Iowa and er Brooklyn, enough to make ary for the entire yard to be called into use. With the exception of the armor plating for warships Mr. Cramp says the firm will be ready to supply about everything needed. This would also be made if sufficient, quan- tities of it were needed to keep a plant for its manufacture running.—Phila- delphia Record. Better Than Ham. Hog and hominy is the popular dish ' in some portions of the Sout as por! nd be delight the the New Er phians. ham may be infer conversation, reported by a home-com- ing commercial traveller: While riding from an interior town in the stage, he fell into conversation with the driver. The talk finally turn- ed upon hunting, the driver informing his fare that the woods thereabout abounded in game. Passing a stream, the traveller asked if it contained fish. | “Lots of them,” was the reply. “What kind?” “Mostly trout,” said the driver. “All these mountain streams are full of trout.” “They must be fine eating,” was the next remark. “Fine eating,” exclaimed the driver. “Well, I should say so. You just go up to the mountains and catch half a dozen trout, about ten or twelve inches long, clean ’em without washing ‘em, rub in some salt, roll ‘em in Injun meal and bake ’em in the ashes. Good eatin’! Why, stranger, they beat ham!’—New York Herald. | ‘Wallapai Charley. “An all-around no good” is what the Arizonians say of Wallapai Char- ley, and his own copper-skinned tribes- men, in compliment to his duplicity, say, “his tongue is forked.” This chief of the Wallapai Apaches r tly “wrote a touching letter to President Cleveland telling the woes of his tribe and asking for rations. One of the business methods of this astute and preeminently lazy Indian is the pre- cise line followed by Dickens’s Noah Claypole and his faithful Charlotte. It is to persuade a stranger ignorant of the law to buy whiskey for him and then have his benefactor arrested for giving whiskey to an Indian. His own experience of the law includes a so- , Journ at Yuma Penitentiary, and in various Indian troubles of the past he has | tially betrayed both the whites and his own people. Chauncey on the Miaway. “Who is that fine-looking man?’ asked the manager of the osirich farm | as a stately looking fellow strode west , on Midway. “Why, that’s Chauncey Depew,” re- plied a man in a plug hat at the door- way. “Who's Depew?” “Orator.” “Talk well?’ “Best in the world.” “What's his price?” “For what?’ “Talking.” “He has none.” “Then he’s just the man we are look- ing for. Flag him and we'll give him a job on this block.”—Chicago Record. Hunting on a Bicycle. James Davis is probably the first person who ever went deer hunting on a bicycle. He was visiting Idanha last week and, as the country there is comparatively smooth and free from underbrush, he borrowed a rifle from a gentleman and went out for a, ride: The inflated tire on his wheel allowed of his travelling swiftly and noiseless- ly over the ground, strewn with pine needles, and before he pedaled many miles he came upon an unsuspecting deer quietly browsing just ahead of him. The result was that he killed the deer and returned to the hotel with it slung over his shoulders.—Salem (Ore.)
