From the Boston Guardian While the N«tional Educational con- ventiva was sitting in Minneapolis last week and all the great educators ofthe country were there speaking on that all | important subject, the Afro American council was holding forth in the twin and adjoining city of St. Paul, ostensi- bly in the interest of the negru race, though of the latter body’s doings next to nuthing was heard. Like Venus transituing the sun the lesser body was lost sight of almost altogether in {ine blaze of the gr-dter event. It is | very likely, however, that if anything lof moment had transpired in the St. Paul part of these Uniced States it | would have been “To their farthest caverns sent.’’ The 1rg02 session of the Afro Ameri- can council therefore, is not destined to take rank as the greatest effort of that body; in fact, the turn which | things took there, and the result ac_ }c mplished; rather mark the end of usefulness of the council, Mr. 1. | Thomas Fortune of somewhere be- | tween New York and New Jersey was eiected president for the ensuing year. | Ordinarily this would not be a bad | choice. but viewed in the light« f pres- problens, | and how to meet them, by Mr. John | | ent events iis about as hada calan Washing- | ton as ar educator. Although he was hevering between St. Paul and Minne- !apolis all the time, expecting to be wita an| called out for a speech by the educa-| jtional convention, not a word was said'o him about speaking. He sat | around there as he did at the Mont- | gomery convention, w‘th nove so poor |as todo him honor. The white people | showed by this rebuff that they did | not care for Booker Washington’s opin- ion on education except when he was talking on in‘ustrializing the négro race. Notonly did the afro-Ameri- can council, however, railroad its tick- Booker Washington on the committee that drafted the address to the coun- try. Asa result there was not a word , Stronger than a feeble regret uttered in | the instrument sent out, But feeble as | the declaration was, Washington was | too cowardly to put his name to it, | afraid no doubt that some one in the South might take umbrage at his act- ion; yet this mon is moving heaven | and earth to be regarded as the great | est negro of the world.

About three months ago Prof. Ryan decided to go about the job and enlist- ed the aid of an old friend in Wisconsin, a newspaper editor name Black. The | Editor wrote to Senator Spooner, re- | | questing that he use his powerful influ- ence with Assistant Secretary Taylor | of the Treasury Department, who has supervision-over the Immigration Bu- reau, and who is also a Wisconsin man, The Senator laid the matter before Mr. Taylor, and just about that time | the Treasury Department received a | request from Cleveland to re-open the inspector’s office. This combination | | of circumstances moved the Assistant Secretary to act in Ryan’s interest, | and the appointment was duly made, | although unknown to Senator Hanna or any other member of the Ohio dele- gation in Congress. “Jere A. Brown, whois now slated to supersede Inspector Ryan, has been in Washington about a year and ahalf. He obtained his present position through the influence of Mr. Hanna. As immigrant inspector he will get a salary of $1,500 or $1,800a year,”” THE FLOWER GARDEN. To the observant gardener all na-|} | hure seems kir ly.
