Richard C. Bundy, the elderest son of Rev. Charles Bun- dy, presiding elder of the A. M. E. | Church of this city, has been selected : by Representative William B. Shattuc, of the First District, to fill a vacancy recently created. Gen. Shattuc wrote to this city some time ago, requesting the Superintendent of public schools to arrange for a competitive examination open to all iads, who might choose to enter. This examination was held in the latter part of March, and when the examiners completed their task. it was assertained that young Bundy and George Austin, another colored boy, led the list. In reporting to Gen. Shattuc, one of the axaminers wrote a rather ambig- |uous letter, stating his opinion that none of the boys were qualified for ex- amination at Annapolis, and Gen. Shattuc announced through a_ local newspaper that none of the candidates could pass. This brought out a protest from young Bundy, whose protest caused the examiner’s report to be re- read, from which it was seen that he meant none of the white candinates could pass the examination. Accord- ingly, Gen. Shattuc has named Bundy forthe cadetship. The other boy is | now barred by the age limit from be- ‘coming an alternate by his own state- ment. The appointment of a negro at An- napolis has always caused quite astir, and no colored cadet has eyer suc- ceeded in staying there four years and graduating. They usually ‘‘bilged”’ or dropped for failing to reach the re- uired rank on the entrance examina- tion. Several years ago a colored cadet passed the first year examina- tion before he was “‘bilged.’” Young Bundy is a bright scholar, and has high standing in the Woodward High School, where he expects to graduate in June. He intends to enter the acad- emy in September. COLORED PRINTERS’ CALL.§ Public Printer Palmer received a delegation of colored printers Friday morning, who were discharged under the last democratic administration. The delegation consisted of R. F. Chisolm, Edward G. Nalle, A. St. A. Smith, H. D. Pryor, and Syphax. Mr. Palmer received them cordially and assured the delegation that he would do everything in his power to relieve them from the strain under which they are now laboring, the anx- iety for reinstatement. Fielden Smithea, in The Western Outlook, among other things he says, “that a cringing scribbler of the Colored American takes the noble hearted and brave Bishop A. M. E. Turner tot e rack, but his hypocracy is so glaring that he signally failed to make a point against the bishop.” There is a popular complaint To morrow will a day of gayety injagainst the management of the all the churches.

Organ of the Negro National Democrtic League, a weekly journal in the interest of the educational, in- dustrial, moral, religious, literary and political development of the race to be published every Wednesday, at Washington, D. C., by the Executive committee of the Negro National Dem- ocratic League Publishing Company, beginning September 6, 1893. OFFICERs: H.C. C. Astwood, of New York, resident, and managing editor; C. H. ie Taylor of Kansas, vice president and business manager; E. L. Dawkins of Florida, secretary; Dr. J. R. Riley, of Washington, D. C., treasurer, L. C. Moore, of Mississippi, general and traveling agent; Rev. P. H. White, of New York, local agent; H.C. Smith, of Alabama, second vice president and assistant editor. Directors: Travis Glascow, of New Jersey, J. Ross Stewart, ot New York, P. H White, New York, R. K. Washington, of pouty Carolina, Smith Wormley, bv. C. OBJECT AND PRINCIPLES oF THE PAPER. The Executive committee of the Ne- gro National Democratic League, see- ing the necessity of a National organ with which to defend the interest of the race and the principles of the par- ty with which it is identified, deem it wise and necessary to establish an or- gan under the above named caption. The policy of the paper will be strict- ly democratic, pledging itself to the reform principles inaugurated by Pres- ident Cleveland, upon the tariff and financial questions. It will vigorously insist upon nation- al aid for the education of the ignorant masses of the races, to wipe out if pos- sible, the appalling growth of igno- rance and crime, believing that the education of the masses is the only remedy, and that it is of vital impor- tance to the Nation, and tending good government. Believing that it is paramount in its tendencies toward National security, then our large and extravagant pen- sion system, we shall urge upon our democratic legislators in Congress to formulate an educational bill looking to that end and that the Secretary of Interior be made Secretary of Interior and Public Instruction, who will su- pervise the distribution of the National fund among the states and for the interest of our race in those states where separate schools are necessary, that colored teachers be employed ex- clusively in those schools. It will insist upon the rights of our people in the South, that mob violence be overthrown and that the law be supreme for punishment of crime of| whatever nature, and that our identity with the dominant political party will be more effectual in bringing this about than past political methods. It will condemn in unmeasured terms, the awful and diabolical crimes of outraging and raping defenseless women, without regard to race or color, using every means to preserve the sanctity of the homes and the families. The educational, industrial and moral development of the race, will be the most important feature of the paper, whilst liberal space and en- couragement will be given to literary productions of the race and the reli- gious teaching of our christian bodies. The political aspect of the paper being strictly in the interest of negro democracy, we appeal to and expect liberal patronage and generous aid from our white democratic friends, until our publishing department shall meet the requirements of the paper. The paper will be conducted upon strictly business principles, and hon- estly and correctly managed in all of its parts. eral agent, Hon. L.C. Moore ippi, will begin at once to solicit subscriptions, advertisements and finantial aid from our democratic friends. Also the local agent, P. H. White, or any other person, duly au- thorized by the general agent and countersigned by the chairmanof the ting in motion the ‘‘Flying wheel of Negro Democracy:”’ The paper will be controlled by the executive committee of the Negro National Democratic League. Its first issue will be September 6, 1893, and every Wednesday thereatter. By order of executive committee, H. C. C. Astwood, Chairman, E. L. Dawkins, Secretary. GRANT MONUMENT DEDICA- TION.

JENNY LIND’S TERRIBLE NERV- OUSNESS. A reminiscent article on Jenny Lind and her home life has been prepared by her daughter, Mrs. Raymond Maude, for publication in the May Ladies’ Home Journal, It is said to be filled with interesting memories of the famous singer, and is noteworthy also as being the first view we have of her through the eyes of her adoring daughter. Mrs. Maude, brings to light the fact that Jenny Lind was al- ways nervous and overstrung before events—just before singing in a new opera or oratorio, but was quite calm when the very moment of action arrived. The meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the National Baptist Conven- tion, which was to have been held in this city has been postponed. The tuneral of Miss Rosa Banks, took place at the Shiloh Baptist Church, last Monday at20’clock. Miss Banks died Saturday April 10, after a painful illness. Rev. J. A. Taylor preached the funeral.
